I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

In an instant, the pointed-nosed cultivator’s figure bizarrely froze in mid-air.

And he maintained a clawing posture, with the ferocious expression on his face also fixed in place.

The man with the pointed nose and monkey-like cheeks was filled with terror in his eyes, but he couldn’t move even a finger.

The next moment, Lu Xuan lightly moved his finger.

The pointed-nosed cultivator, suspended in the air, was like struck by lightning, his whole body flew backward.

He traced a parabolic arc in the sky and smashed heavily into the mountain wall a hundred meters away, embedding directly into it, forming a human-shaped indentation shaped like a "大" character.

Judging by the splattered blood, this man who dared to attack Lu Xuan was clearly doomed.

All of this happened so quickly that it wasn’t until the dust started flying that the other disciples of the Mingxian Sect reacted.

All nine of them retreated several steps simultaneously, their faces as pale as paper.

The brawny man with a bristly beard held his sword with trembling hands, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Se-Senior, we are disciples of the Mingxian Sect, and our master is a... is a Primordial Spirit Grandmaster!"

Lu Xuan impatiently waved his hand, and the silver-white treasured sword in the brawny man’s hand instantly turned to dust.

Then, a vast and deep pressure suddenly descended.

The nine disciples of the Mingxian Sect suddenly seemed like they were struck by lightning, all kneeling on the ground, blood trickling from their seven orifices.

Especially the leading brawny man, whose face turned ashen, his whole body sticking to the ground like a dead dog, unable to move!

"Se... nior..."

The brawny man squeezed out two words with difficulty, his eyes full of terror and disbelief.

He never dreamed that this seemingly ordinary young man was actually a terrifying martial artist!

Absolutely an unparalleled existence on par with his master, a Primordial Spirit Grandmaster!

For those who had attacked him, Lu Xuan had already dealt with them.

As for those who hadn’t had the chance to make a move, Lu Xuan didn’t intend to eliminate them all together.

The fact that these people could discover this cave was precisely because after Lu Xuan broke through to the Earth Venerable realm, he drew all the surrounding Heaven and Earth Seals back into his internal world.

So, it was the few strands of aura unintentionally leaking from Lu Xuan that led to the formation of this Pocket World, and it also caused the local Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to become swiftly abundant.

Before long, Lu Xuan’s form gradually faded, like starlight blown apart by the wind, silently merging into the world.

The disciples of the Mingxian Sect stood still, chills running through their bodies, even their breathing had stalled.

They had never seen such a terrifying existence—just a glance, a raised hand, could make the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi submit.

Even... made them, these External Master-level martial artists, not dare even to have the thought of resistance!

"Se... Senior Brother..." a disciple began to speak, trembling.

"Who... who is he, really?"

The brawny man’s face turned ghastly pale, he stared intently at the place where Lu Xuan disappeared, throat parched, and after a while, he barely managed to squeeze out a few words.

"You ask me, who am I supposed to ask!"

"You fools just standing around, hurry up and help this old master up."

At this time, the brawny man was already severely injured by Lu Xuan’s terrifying pressure.

And after leaving the cave, Lu Xuan discovered an even more astonishing fact.

The world of the Great Xia Dynasty had undergone significant changes!

"Hmm?"

Lu Xuan, up in the sky, took a deep breath, his pupils slightly contracting.

"Such rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, at least ten times stronger than before my retreat!"

This was simply unbelievable.

And now, in just the short span of 150 years of his retreat, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Great Xia Dynasty had surged to this extent?

Lu Xuan looked up at the sky, the shadows of the sun, moon, and stars floating in his eyes.

In his vision, the spiritual qi that should have been evenly distributed.

Was now surging from all directions like ocean tides, coming to fill the heavens and earth of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"I see!"

"The Heaven and Earth Seal has vanished!"

While flying in the sky, Lu Xuan finally understood the reason for the change in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

"No wonder there are so many powerful martial artists appearing in the heavens and earth of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

With this thought, Lu Xuan no longer flew leisurely, but instantly slipped into the void, heading towards the lingering trace he left behind.

Qingyun County!

Over a hundred years had passed, but this ancient city standing among the mountains remained steadfast, seemingly accustomed to the merciless erosion of time.

Gray city walls were covered with vines, weathered stones inscribed with the scars of time and tide.

On the streets, passersby came and went, vendors shouted, children played. The mundane world’s hustle and bustle continued as always.

No one knew, at this moment—

A silhouette quietly appeared right above the county seat of Qingyun County.

Lu Xuan, wearing a black and gold robe, was fluttering in the wind, his deep eyes appearing to contain myriad worlds.

He quietly gazed at the vigorous characters of "Qingyun" on the city gate, his gaze momentarily distant.

"It’s been 150 years..."

"This city, hasn’t changed much."

After softly murmuring a few words, Lu Xuan then stepped forward, his figure flickering.

In less than a breath’s time, Lu Xuan had already appeared outside the main hall of the Lu Family mansion.

In the main hall of the Lu Family mansion.

An elderly man with white hair was steadily seated at the head position.

He was Lu Yun’an, Lu Xuan’s half-brother, and the current patriarch of the Lu Family.

Recalling back 150 years ago, he was also a high-spirited young man.

But time was like a knife, and now he was old and feeble, with an air of dignity that couldn’t hide the deep fatigue between his brows.

"Patriarch, recently, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around Qingyun County has been fluctuating unusually, I’m afraid..."

A concerned elder of the Lu Family spoke.

Lu Yun’an waved his hand, cutting him off.

"It’s nothing, the Lu Family has stood for hundreds of years, what storms haven’t we seen?"

Lu Yun’an’s voice was low but carried an undeniable firmness.

However, just as he finished speaking—

Clack, clack, clack!

A subtle but rhythmic sound of footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the main hall.

The sound of those footsteps was unhurried, yet seemed to carry an invisible pressure, instantly shattering the original calm within the hall.

Everyone turned towards the sound, only to see a tall figure silhouetted against the light, quietly standing at the entrance of the main hall.

The glare of the sunlight was so intense that it made it difficult to see his face clearly.

Lu Yun’an and several elders of the Lu Family’s expressions immediately changed, instinctively standing up from their chairs in an instant.

Lu Yun’an and several elders of the Lu Family squinted their clouded eyes, trying hard to see the person clearly.

"Who dares trespass into my Lu Family..."

A Lu Family elder’s questioning was abruptly halted.

Because the figure in the backlight stepped forward, and that face gradually became clear.

Lu Yun’an heard his own bones creaking under the strain—he had unconsciously tensed every muscle in his body.

At this moment, an expression of disbelief surfaced on Lu Yun’an’s aged face.

"You... are you..."

His voice trembled as if he was witnessing the most unbelievable existence.

"Big Brother?"

The moment this title slipped out of his mouth, the tea cups in the elders’ hands simultaneously shattered.

Scorching tea splashed onto the green stone ground, sending up steamy white mist filled with spiritual aura.

The few Lu Family elders younger than Lu Yun’an subconsciously uttered three words!

"Uncle Xuan?"

Until the young figure outside the hall softly laughed and slowly spoke:

"Yun’an, it’s been many years, you’ve aged quite a bit."

"!!!"

"!!!!!!"

Lu Xuan just smiled faintly, his gaze gentle.

"What, don’t you recognize me?"

Lu Yun’an suddenly stumbled and knelt on the ground, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

Not long after, Lu Yun’an’s elder-like, choking voice was muffled into the crevices of the bricks.

"Big Brother, you’ve finally returned."

"These hundred and fifty years... you finally... finally..."

Lu Yun’an stood up, his expression suddenly becoming eagerly intent.

"Right, Big Brother, quickly come with me, Father has always missed you greatly!"

Lu Xuan just lightly nodded in acknowledgment; he naturally sensed his father’s location.
