I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons
Chapter 331 - 262: You May Leave, But Wo Jiu Cannot!
Just based on Wo Jiu’s intention to cripple Mu Yun’s cultivation, Lu Xuan is completely justified and could kill him justifiably.
Whether it’s the Wo family or anyone else, there’s no fault to find in Lu Xuan’s actions.
After all, according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, anyone daring to attack the Profound Bird Guard has only one outcome.
Death without pardon!
However, Lu Xuan didn’t immediately strike. He knew well that Wo Jiu was just a minor figure.
The Wo family behind him is the real trouble.
Lu Xuan wanted to see what exactly it was that the Wo family wanted to discuss with him.
If Lu Xuan hadn’t harbored this thought, Wo Jiu would have lost much more than just an arm just now.
His worthless life wouldn’t even qualify to meet Lu Xuan before being crushed to powder by Lu Xuan’s Primordial Spirit might!
At this moment, Wo Jiu’s face is filled with humiliation, his extremely venomous expression seems to freeze the surrounding air.
After all, he is from one of the Eight Great Families, and this bastard Lu Xuan dares to humiliate him like this!
Just as Wo Jiu could no longer suppress it and prepared to explode despite everything, the purple pattern on his forehead resembled a mysterious rune ignited.
In an instant, the purple pattern radiated light, dazzling to the point of dizziness.
Then, an eerie scene occurred; the purple pattern seemed to be gaining consciousness, agilely peeling off from Wo Jiu’s forehead.
The purple pattern detached from Wo Jiu’s forehead, floating in the air.
A moment later, it gradually transformed into a clear and giant face phantom.
This facial phantom was several meters tall, appearing in the form of an extremely old elder.
The elder’s hair and beard were white like frost and snow, his face somber, exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery.
Upon seeing the elder’s phantom face emerge in midair, Wo Jiu, who appeared utterly disheveled due to his fall, suddenly felt invigorated.
Wo Jiu scrambled up from the ground, his face showing some resentment, shouting loudly, "Ancestor, that bastard kid is Lu Xuan!"
And the Lu Xuan whom Wo Jiu resented so much was at that moment standing quietly ten meters away.
However, Wo Jiu’s complaint did not earn the elder’s protection; it was more like igniting a powder keg.
"Silence!" the elder roared in anger, his voice like a great bell, seemingly capable of shattering the heavens, "You useless fellow, enough to ruin things, get out of my sight!"
The elder’s voice was full of frustration at Wo Jiu’s incompetence.
Under this pressure, Wo Jiu instantly froze in place, his face alternating between pale and red with stifled grievances, not daring to utter another word.
Because this Wo family patriarch is the third ancestor of the Wo family, Wo Sheng!
A presence in the Half-Step Void Realm.
Hence, even if Wo Jiu had a thousand courage, he would absolutely not dare to defy Patriarch Wo Sheng!
The reason Wo Sheng reprimanded Wo Jiu so angrily is quite profound.
Just moments ago, his divine thought, stronger than a Primordial Spirit real person, was forcibly suppressed by this seemingly very young Lu Xuan.
With just one hand, Lu Xuan could render his Primordial Spirit thought powerless.
If not for Lu Xuan retracting that terrifying power of heaven and earth.
Wo Sheng even suspected that his Primordial Spirit thought would be completely obliterated by Lu Xuan in an instant, leaving no trace.
Lu Xuan possessed such formidable strength that Wo Sheng felt both shocked and angry.
Across the world, a Martial Artist capable of so easily suppressing his Primordial Spirit thought only suggests one possibility.
This Lu Xuan is either a Martial Artist of Divine Mansion Realm Perfection or an existence in the Half-Step Void Realm like him!
"Hiss!" Wo Sheng gasped, storms brewing in his heart as he locked his gaze on Lu Xuan.
This child is unbelievably powerful, truly terrifying!
His thoughts surged, countless ideas flashed through his mind.
At present, the Wo family faced only two choices.
Firstly, letting go of past grievances, turning enemies into friends, and actively befriending this martial prodigy Lu Xuan.
Getting along with Lu Xuan could not only dispel misunderstandings with the Wo family.
It might even leverage his power and his status as Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard, allowing the Wo family to control part of the Profound Bird Guard’s power.
Secondly, they must at all costs mobilize all of the Wo family’s strength to somehow eliminate Lu Xuan, thus eliminating any future threats.
But unquestionably, this is a very tricky matter.
The strength displayed by Lu Xuan was far too astonishing.
Having considered all this, a kind smile quickly spread across Wo Sheng’s aged face.
He seemed like a completely different person, friendly to the point of catching one off guard.
"Mr. Lu," Wo Sheng’s tone was calm, carrying a hint of amiability, "I have been thinking; perhaps there are some small misunderstandings between us."
"Why not, at my humble request, erase the grievance between you and the Wo family, letting bygones be bygones, how about it?"
Wo Sheng paused, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, speaking steadily: "Previously, the Star Tool Moon Chasing Staff you possessed, originally belongs to our Wo family."
"But now, let it be the Wo family’s gift to apologize to you, Mr. Lu."
After stating this condition, Wo Sheng looked expectantly at Lu Xuan, seemingly waiting for his reply, "Mr. Lu, what do you think of this?"
Wo Sheng wore a confident expression, believing the terms offered to Lu Xuan were already full of sincerity and quite rare.
After all, in the land of the Great Xia Dynasty, those who can make one of the Eight Great Families, the Wo family, bow and give way are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
As a strong presence in the Half-Step Void Realm and the Wo family’s third patriarch, Wo Sheng could say these words, showing he valued Lu Xuan greatly.
Lu Xuan, this young inferior, is smart enough; he knows how to choose.
As Wo Sheng anticipated, Lu Xuan indeed agreed to his terms.
"Agreed!"
Lu Xuan replied briskly.
For him, without needing to pay any price, he could receive a precious Star Tool without cost.
Such a profitable deal, why not? 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Great!"
Wo Sheng smiled upon seeing Lu Xuan’s agreement, quickly said.
"Mr. Lu, from now on, the grievance between you and the Wo family is hereby erased."
As he said this, Wo Sheng’s smile grew warmer, even inviting enthusiastically: "If Mr. Lu returns to the capital in the future, I hope you can visit the Wo family."
"So that I might have the opportunity to witness your brilliance, Mr. Lu."
Below, Wo Jiu stood dumbfounded, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief as he watched his patriarch chatting and laughing with Lu Xuan.
This... What is going on?
Patriarch, why did you change your mind!
Wo Jiu shouted wildly within his heart, filled with hatred towards Lu Xuan.
He didn’t want to see Lu Xuan, this young brat, alive in the world for one more moment.
Wasn’t it decided beforehand?
To make Lu Xuan, this brat who doesn’t know his limits, bow, apologize to the Wo family, and then naturally retrieve his Star Tool Moon Chasing Staff.
But now, why has the scene turned into the Wo family bowing to Lu Xuan, this bastard of a brat?
Damn Lu Xuan!
Wo Jiu felt like his lungs were about to burst, the fury in his chest burning fiercely, nearly consuming him entirely.
This bastard Lu Xuan had nearly taken his life before and snatched his ritual tool casually.
And now, it turns out it’s his fault?
Is there no justice?
It’s just, before Wo Jiu could speak to persuade, Lu Xuan’s low voice serenely rang out.
"Today, Wo Jiu openly attacked the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard, according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, he should be executed immediately!"
Lu Xuan spoke coldly, his expression stern.
"You can leave, but Wo Jiu must stay and die!" After saying this, Lu Xuan did not even raise his eyelids, casually waving his hand towards Wo Sheng in the air.
This gesture was as if he were driving away a trivial fly, indicating he should leave quickly.
