Chapter 68: That Individual’s Elegant Demeanor

To Lu Xuan, drawing a Vajra Amulet was a fairly simple task for him, and it was also currently the largest source of income for him.

Up until now, he was the only person who knew how to draw a Vajra Amulet, so he had an absolute monopoly on the market and never had to worry about not being able to sell his wares.

Even if someone else could sell them, Lu Xuan could immediately bring out an upgraded version. In any case, the methods for making them were all in his head, and it was just a matter of choosing the time to bring them out.

“Thank you, Young Master!” Zhang Hongyang hurriedly said in gratitude, overjoyed. For him, money was not an issue, and a hundred pieces was a small sum of ten million, but it would save many of his disciples and followers.

In South-east Asia, the world of Cultivators was not as peaceful as in the Huaxia mainland. Plots of intrigue and deception against one another were commonplace, and large scale battles were also a very common occurrence.

To the Cultivators in the South-east Asian region, the Vajra Amulets would be extremely useful.

Lu Xuan himself did not mind selling him the Vajra Amulets. Now that Zhang Hongyang was under his control, his disciples and followers could naturally be considered a part of Lu Xuan’s forces.

Despite his loss, it would still benefit his allies, so there was nothing wrong about that.

“If you have any questions about cultivation, since I’m here now, I can help you with them,” Lu Xuan told Zhang Hongyang directly. “You need to hurry and break through to the National Guardian level. You’re still too weak as a martial arts legend!”

Zhang Hongyang was the most important pawn he had for protecting his family. The stronger Zhang Hongyang got, the better it was for him, as Zhang Hongyang would never be able to escape his grasp anyway.

“Thank you, Young Master!” Zhang Hongyang could not hold back his delight.

He was currently researching the mantra that Lu Xuan had passed down to him, and though he had already made some headway, there was no better way than receiving guidance from Lu Xuan personally.

As he expected, when he raised the issues he encountered during his cultivation, Lu Xuan, with his vast experience, could effortlessly propose many solutions to his problems.

His pointers were not careless general comments, but specific concrete solutions, as though Lu Xuan himself had done it during his own cultivation.

If he had not known that Lu Xuan was not a Mental Awakened, he would have believed that Lu Xuan was of the same background.

He was still unaware of the fearsome level of Lu Xuan’s cultivation in his past life. For small problems like these, he could easily infer the solution and offer guidance, even if he had not done it himself. With a simple glance, many mysteries were no longer a secret to him.

After a round of guidance from Lu Xuan, he felt like his own breakthrough to the Level Seven National Guardian level was only going to be a matter of time.

The thought put him in high spirits. A National Guardian level was practically unstoppable in Southeast Asia, and perhaps even the world. They were powerful enough to control a small nation from the shadows, becoming its hidden ruler.

Even so, he would not overstep his boundaries. He was well aware of who his own breakthrough was reliant on.

In front of Lu Xuan, the pressure he was feeling from him was far too great. Even if he successfully made it to the Level Seven National Guardian level, his instincts told him that he would still be no match for Lu Xuan.

The results would probably be no different from the last time.

At the same time, on the other side of Xia City, in a well-furnished three hundred square meter double-story apartment in a high-end district, Luo Ying stared at the news she had just received. Her face was completely blanched.

Her third uncle, Luo Yongnian, was dead!

The corpse had been discovered on Wuyi mountain by a patrolling forest ranger. He had died alongside an internationally renowned assassin.

Aside from the two, they found nobody else on the scene!

Another piece of information corroborated with this news. Not long ago, she had set informants to keep watch on Lu Xuan and found that the Agency of Special Affairs Chiefs from Fu City and Xia City had visited his apartment.

All this clearly showed that Luo Yongnian had ambushed Lu Xuan, but he and the professional assassin he hired were killed by him.

And, after all this, Lu Xuan emerged unscathed!

She felt a chill in her heart, as all the alarms in her mind were going off. These were no ordinary people, unlike the worthless individuals she had searched out before.

The two of them were existences at the level of martial arts legends, and either of them was capable of tyrannizing Min Province. With the two of them working together, even the Agency of Special Affairs might be shocked by their lineup.

They both had strength far above Chen Jiashang’s, so she could not imagine how the two of them could die at Lu Xuan’s hands while they fought together.

How strong was that Lu Xuan?

Even a legendary National Guardian level master probably be about this powerful.

The more she thought about it, the more afraid Luo Ying became. She felt like Lu Xuan’s strength was too much to fathom, and even with the strength of the Luo family or even the Taichu Path, they could not afford to ignore Lu Xuan’s current strength any longer.

This was even more true for her. Since a long time ago, Lu Xuan had been like a thorn in her side. If not for him, she would not have moved to this high-end district at the periphery of Xia City.

There was no other reason, except so she could make a hasty escape from Xia City at the slightest hint of danger.

“He’s just an ordinary person with an ordinary background, so how can he be so strong?” Luo Ying’s mind was filled with many possibilities. Out of all of them, the most likely one seemed to be that Lu Xuan was backed by a Cultivation Legacy as fearsome as the Taichu Path.

Otherwise, there was no way he could become this strong at such a young age.

“This won’t do. For someone like him, no matter who is backing him, we can’t allow him to continue growing stronger like this. Otherwise, he will be the end of all of us!”

A look of extreme danger flashed through Luo Ying’s eyes.

She took out her handphone at once, dialing in a number and relaying the information through the phone.

Very quickly, from the other end of the line, an old voice said, “Don’t worry about this matter for now. Just come back first!”

“Come back? Elder, if we allow an existence like Lu Xuan to freely grow stronger, he will be the death of us!” Luo Ying hurriedly advised, hoping to change the mind of the person listening.

“Right now, this isn’t urgent, and Lu Xuan is just one lowly man. So what if he’s a martial arts legend? He’s just a small irritating problem!” The sound of scolding came from the other end of the line. “The world is about to undergo a huge change, and if we grasp this chance, we can sublimate ourselves. When that happens, a lone Cultivator without a strong background cannot stand against us. Seize this opportunity, and when the time comes, you can crush him with a single finger!”

The angry voice continued from her phone, “Each household is currently preparing for this, so what is Lu Xuan in the grand scheme of things! Did you forget the purpose of setting up our Taichu Group? All of us in the Luo family must do our best to fulfill our mission, or the Lin family will get ahead of us. If that happens, when the Young Master enters the world, we won’t be on his good side!”

Luo Ying thought it through and was having difficulty coming to a decision. She still believed that Lu Xuan would end up becoming a force that threatened to end the Luo family, or even possibly the entire Taichu Path.

At the same time, however, she agreed with what the person on the phone was saying. She had experienced the elegant demeanor of the Young Master, who had been sealed away on the other side. When he emerged into the world, their Taichu Path was destined to conquer the world and rule over everyone.

Compared to such a thing, this incident with Lu Xuan surely paled in importance.

“I understand!” Luo Ying nodded reluctantly, as she put down the phone, leaving her apartment right away and departing Xia City at once.
