I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 321 - 258: An Unexpected Delight, the Wen Family’s Remaining Sacrificial Artifacts! (Part 2)

Man Qingqiu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the tumultuous shock within her, and slowly cast her gaze forward.

There was the spot where Lu Xuan stood, and right beside him, a purple flame shield was burning fiercely.

"Mr. Lu, it’s all thanks to your assistance this time, for your tireless efforts. I will certainly report everything I witnessed without any omissions to His Majesty."

As she spoke, Man Qingqiu slightly bowed and continued with a calm demeanor.

"I traveled thousands of miles by His Majesty’s decree, specifically to escort Princess Xingyue back to the palace."

Escort Princess Xingyue back to the palace?

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan’s face momentarily flashed an imperceptible strange expression.

Immediately, Lu Xuan pondered to himself.

That Princess Xingyue’s heart was shattered by the primordial spirit power of that old man Wen Fengyuan.

Although Lu Xuan extinguished the remaining primordial spirit power left by Wen Fengyuan at the earliest opportunity, he was unable to restore Princess Xingyue’s heart.

The person is gone, so how can she be escorted back to the palace?

Subsequently, Lu Xuan let out a slight sigh, feigning some regret and guilt on his face as he cupped his hands towards Man Qingqiu.

"Alas, Mr. Mei, it was my dereliction of duty this time, unable to protect Princess Xingyue, which led to her losing her life."

"As for the credit, I feel ashamed to accept it, and I have let down His Majesty’s trust."

However, after hearing the news of Princess Xingyue’s demise, Man Qingqiu’s face remained emotionless.

This discovery made Lu Xuan’s mind fill with doubts, feeling very peculiar.

Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Lu Xuan’s mind, reminding him of something abruptly.

The last time, that person from the Wu family was crushed into a pool of blood under his formidable power of heaven and earth.

Yet, who would have thought that, in just a few hours, that person would come back to life, bouncing around again.

Thus, a mere ant of an External Grandmaster escaped right under Lu Xuan’s nose.

Since the royal family of Great Xia could suppress the eight major families steadily for nearly two thousand years, it was not by coincidence.

Therefore, the Great Xia royal family must possess a power stronger than the eight major families.

As a member of the Great Xia royal family, Princess Xingyue is likely to possess remarkable regenerative abilities like that person from the Wu family.

Her broken heart might regenerate, withered limbs might regain their vitality, and her damaged meridians and internal pathways might heal as well.

Lu Xuan secretly speculated in his heart, and the opposite Man Qingqiu seemed to see through his thoughts instantly.

She slightly lifted the corners of her mouth, revealing a meaningful smile, and said softly, "Mr. Lu, you needn’t worry about this matter."

"The matter of Princess Xingyue will be left to us, the Plum Blossom Guard."

After hearing Man Qingqiu’s words, Lu Xuan was secretly delighted.

Someone taking over this hot potato was exactly what he wished for.

Lu Xuan let out a long breath, replying swiftly and straightforwardly with a sense of relief, "Alright!"

Then, without hesitation, he lightly raised his right hand and casually waved forward.

In an instant, the purple flame shield tightly wrapped around Princess Xingyue vanished without a trace.

Subsequently, Princess Xingyue’s body was gently lifted by a giant mysterious hand from the void.

With a stable and slow posture, she floated serenely towards Man Qingqiu.

When Princess Xingyue’s body drifted down slowly in front of Man Qingqiu.

The previously clear and limpid eyes of Man Qingqiu surprisingly flooded with strands of red light, oozing a bizarre enchantment.

Soon after, Man Qingqiu gently raised her lily-white hands.

At the tips of those jade-like fingers swirled an elusive, dream-like red mist.

Like soft plum petals, it carried an astonishing aura, slowly infusing into Princess Xingyue’s body.

Under the nourishment of this mysterious red mist, Princess Xingyue’s originally bloodless, frostbitten cheeks.

Instantly took on a faint rosy hue, making her look as if she had been endowed with new life and vitality.

Having done all these things, Man Qingqiu’s movements were elegant and composed, as if casually waving, she supported Princess Xingyue’s body.

Her power was so well-controlled, it neither harmed Princess Xingyue nor caused any disturbance.

At that moment, the air behind Man Qingqiu echoed with violent noises, several figures streaked through the sky, appearing one by one.

They were the elite of the Plum Blossom Guard, whose stealthy appearance clearly indicated they had been hidden nearby all along.

These women, attired in plum blossom patterned outfits, with sharp gazes and agile movements, took over Princess Xingyue’s body steadily.

Then, they stood in orderly formations, every gaze filled with respect and obedience towards Man Qingqiu.

Subsequently, Man Qingqiu smiled slightly and said to Lu Xuan, "Mr. Lu, without delay, I won’t disturb you further."

"We, the Plum Blossom Guard, must return to the palace and report to His Majesty."

To this, Lu Xuan simply nodded slightly, his tone indifferent: "Mr. Mei, please go ahead."

Lu Xuan watched as Man Qingqiu and the Plum Blossom Guard’s figures gradually receded, a flicker of deep meaning in his gaze.

Then, unable to resist, Lu Xuan once again cast his gaze at the massive, shocking crater before him.

On his face appeared an expression of deep anguish instantly.
