I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Some emitted a ghostly blue cold light, while others were covered with mysterious patterns on the surface, changing colors on their own under the firelight.

On the other side, thousand-year-old lingzhi mushrooms piled up like a mountain, with the top one even transforming into a human shape, and its tendrils hanging down like white hair.

"Jinyun."

A voice snapped Lu Jinyun back to reality from his daze.

Lu Xuan casually tossed a gold token, creating a dazzling golden arc in the air.

"The Supreme Commander Token of the Army?"

Lu Jinyun clumsily caught it, the cold touch in his palm causing him to shiver.

This golden token, capable of mobilizing a million soldiers, was now tossed to him like an ordinary token.

"From today onwards, you will lead the Lu Family."

Without turning his head, Lu Xuan walked toward the depths of the secret chamber, the hem of his purple ornate robe sweeping past those priceless treasures.

"Remember—"

"Gather mystical weapons and these nourishing items for your father."

"If you encounter obstruction, kill without mercy!"

Lu Xuan suddenly stopped, a vividly red strange iron slipped from his sleeve.

As the iron piece hit the ground, the entire secret vault’s temperature suddenly increased.

"These, these are the real treasures."

"Leave."

After driving everyone out, Lu Xuan very skillfully checked the system panel!

The crimson iron piece in Lu Xuan’s hand instantly crumbled into gray dust, scattering on the ground.

Lu Xuan didn’t rush to deduce the cultivation technique but instead fixed his gaze on the remaining items.

These were all good things that Lu Xuan personally touched, all capable of earning system points.

A month later in the main hall of the Lu residence, sandalwood incense wafts through the air with a sense of oppression.

"Father has been in seclusion for a whole month without coming out..."

Lu Jinhua tightly grasped the sword at his waist, the pearls on the sword tassel making a creaking sound under his grip.

"Second Brother, do you think..."

"Third Brother, don’t talk nonsense!"

Lu Jinyun suddenly slapped the table, causing the teacup on the table to jump.

The marshal’s gold token hanging from his waist shook, casting a glaring light and shadow in the morning sun.

"Our father is a Grandmaster of this era, how could he..."

Before he could finish, Lu Jinwu suddenly interrupted, "Second Brother, but Mr. Li said, father indeed showed signs of going berserk that day!"

The flaming patterns on his Vermilion Bird battle robe moved without wind, "Didn’t you notice?"

"Father’s behavior nearly a month ago..."

The conversation halted abruptly.

The four looked at each other, seeing deeply hidden fear in each other’s eyes—

The father who once casually talked and killed in the court, now seemed completely different from the strict father in their memories.

Suddenly, urgent footsteps were heard outside the hall.

Several guards stationed at the Lu Family secret vault stumbled in, their elderly faces full of panic.

"Patriarch, Third Master, Fourth Master, Fifth Master, the secret vault... there are unexpected occurrences!"

Lu Jinyun and the others suddenly stood up.

Through the carved window lattice, dark clouds swirled above the backyard, faint strands of gold and red light entangled within the clouds.

More terrifying was the suffocating pressure, even across several courtyards, causing their blood and qi to surge.

The gold token in Lu Jinyun’s hand suddenly became scorching hot, like a branding iron. He stared hard at the pillar of light piercing the heavens and earth, suddenly remembering his father’s last advice.

"Do not enter unless it’s an emergency!"

This frightening anomaly, ironically, gave him some peace of mind—at least it proved his father was still cultivating, and not...

"No problem."

Lu Jinyun said in a deep voice, his fingertips lightly brushing over the scorched mark on the golden token, "Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, the matter at hand is to continue collecting the Heaven and Earth mystical items needed by Father."

Lu Jinhua suddenly stood up, his Vermilion Bird battle robe swirling with the clash of True Qi, "Second brother, rest assured, we have already confiscated the secret collections of seventy prominent families this month."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Especially in Hugu City, the Li Family, where their patriarch dared to resist to the death for that ’Nine Netherworld Orchid’....."

"Fifty thousand Black Tortoise Guards have leveled the Li Family’s ancestral residence."

Lu Jinchang spoke coldly, fresh blood stains still visible on his Black Tortoise armor, "Unfortunately, we only found half of the orchid....."

Suddenly, urgent footsteps were heard outside the hall.

A guard burst in, covered in blood, "Report!"

"The bald thieves from Baoxiang Temple have stolen three cartloads of mystical stones from us!"

"Crack!"

The Qingyu tea cup in Lu Jinyun’s hand shattered instantly, the scalding tea not even touching the ground before the murderous aura emanating from him evaporated it into white mist.

Bloodthirsty cold flashes appeared simultaneously in the eyes of the four—such fierce light only appears when a beast is enraged.

"Good. Very good."

Lu Jinyun slowly stood up, "I, the patriarch, haven’t gone to find them, yet they come courting death."

Lu Jinhua’s eyes showed a trace of dread, "Second brother, that old bald monk from Baoxiang Temple, and Xuyang from Qingyang Sect, after all, they are....."

"Third brother, Father’s orders were clear, whoever dares make trouble, kill them without mercy!"

"Summon the Guard Army, assemble one hundred thousand troops."

Lu Jinyun slowly stood up, the sword at his waist unsheathing three inches on its own, "I will personally confront this group of...mindless bald donkeys."

"Jinchang, quickly report this to Mr. Li!"

"And also, inquire Father for instructions!"

Meanwhile, in the imperial court, dark tides were surging.

"The Lu Family is planning a rebellion!"

The Minister of War, Chen Jiequan, heavily slammed down a secret report on the table, causing tea cups to clatter.

"In just one month, they have plundered seventy prominent families, even a thousand-year-old family like the Li Family is....."

"Silence!" Zhao Xian sternly interrupted, yet couldn’t hide the slight tremble of his hands within his sleeves.

Sweat was already seeping out of the forehead of this Prime Minister of Daqian!

If the Lu Family’s rebellion truly succeeded, he, as the Prime Minister, would be the first to be purged.

He still hadn’t avenged his daughter yet.

In Qiansheng Palace, Emperor Qianxi anxiously paced back and forth, his dragon boots creating chaotic sounds on the golden bricks.

"Mr. Zhao!"

Emperor Qianxi suddenly turned around, his eyes red with bloodshot lines, "When on earth will those two masters arrive?"

"Is sacrificing a county not enough sincerity?"

Zhao Xian hurriedly knelt down, his forehead tightly pressed against the cold floor tiles, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister dispatched someone with the imperial decree a month ago."

"Master Huanmie from Baoxiang Temple is in seclusion, and the real person Xuyuang from Qingyang Sect....." His Adam’s apple moved, "Is said to be deeply searching for the Great Dao."

Outside the hall, a sudden eerie wind blew, withered sycamore leaves beat against the window lattice, producing a rustling sound like the whisper of death.

"Report!"

A few inner palace guards rushed into the hall in a panic, "The Lu Family patriarch, Lu Jinyun, is leading one hundred thousand Guard Army troops towards Baoxiang Temple!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qianxi’s jade thumb ring shattered into powder with a "snap."

At this critical moment—

"Amitabha Buddha."

"Blessings of the Almighty."

Two figures appeared like ghosts at the hall door.

The old monk on the left, draped in a purple-gold robe, had invisible currents of air swirling beneath his feet with every step.

The right figure, an elder with white hair and a youthful face, was surrounded by a faint cyan cloud aura.

"Two esteemed seniors!"

Upon seeing them, Emperor Qianxi disregarded imperial dignity and staggered forward to greet them, "I....."

Master Huanmie raised a palm, the Buddha Beads on his wrist stirring without wind, "Your Majesty, worry not."

"I have already arranged monks at Yunyin Mountain, just waiting for those younglings from the Lu Family to walk into the trap."

Xuyuang lightly swept his duster, his eyes bright with brilliance, "Once we capture Lu Jinyun and the others, using them as bait....."

He made a strangling gesture, "Aren’t we bound to snare Mr. Lu?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qianxi’s eyes sparkled with terrifying brilliance, quickly uttering several words.

"If the two seniors can eliminate such scourge—"

"I will immediately issue an edict, conferring the two as National Guardians of Daqian!"

"You will enjoy offerings from the people and reverence for thousands of years!"
