Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 765

Fangzhang Continent

"Haha…"

Lu Xuan laughed heartily; he felt very comfortable. He had lived for hundreds of years, being cautious, hiding, and always waiting to please others.

Even when hunting cultivators and the demon race, he was very careful and never used all his strength.

But now, he fought with great pleasure, using all his power. With his Void Achieving level, he could match two great Tao Achievers and fight for hundreds of rounds without dying, which was a great honor for any cultivator.

Moreover, this battle allowed Lu Xuan to fully unleash his fighting power and gain a better understanding of his body, using many combat skills he had never used before.

Lu Xuan was happy, but Zhou Yuan and Lin Hongcong looked unhappy, especially Lin Hongcong, who fought even harder. Lu Xuan counterattacked him more, and Lin Hongcong had already received some minor injuries.

This made Lin Hongcong very embarrassed; he knew that many people were watching this battle. It was already quite shameful for a Tao Achiever not to defeat a Void Achiever.

"Boom!"

Seeing that the two could not defeat Lu Xuan after a long time, the Space Battleship high in the sky took action. A blast from its particle cannon turned Lu Xuan and the great mountain behind him into dust.

"Still alive."

However, Zhou Yuan and Lin Hongcong checked and were shocked to find that Lu Xuan was still alive. His body was in tatters, yet he was somehow still alive. This was unbelievably strange.

"Lin Hongcong, Zhou Yuan, is Lu Xuan still alive?"

"Yes, Ancestor."

Lin Jiang’s voice came from their wristwatches, and Lin Hongcong quickly replied.

"Capture him alive and bring him back for research."

Lin Jiang from Haigang City was also shocked. The particle cannon could even kill the Demon Emperor, but it couldn’t kill a Void Achieving?

Lu Xuan made Lin Jiang more and more interested; he wanted to catch him alive and bring him back for study.

"Yes."

Lin Hongcong rushed forward into the dust, determined to capture Lu Xuan alive.

At that moment, Lu Xuan was in a terrible state. That particle cannon shot was even stronger than a hit from Tao Achieving. He was only hanging on because of his strong healing ability.

When Lin Hongcong appeared again, Lu Xuan knew that the mission of his body was coming to an end. He could not be captured alive; once he was, he would lose the secrets he held, and his final trump card would be revealed.

"Hellfire."

In the next moment, black flames erupted all over Lu Xuan’s body. His energy transformed into that terrifying fire, then became an afterimage that raced toward Lin Hongcong.

"Ah!"

Lin Hongcong could not escape and was surrounded by flames created by Lu Xuan. He immediately let out a terrible scream as he felt his flesh, spirit, and soul all burning.

"Extinguish."

Lin Hongcong shouted loudly, and a cold breath burst from his body, trying to put out the flames. However, his attempt failed.

"Senior Brother Lin, I am here to help you."

Zhou Yuan also grew anxious and directly used a spiritual talisman, summoning a water dragon to try and extinguish the flames.

"This is strange fire; water cannot put it out. Use spiritual energy to isolate the flames, hurry!"

"Zhou Yuan, use your life energy to counter the fire."

Lin Jiang’s voice echoed again. Lu Xuan’s move amazed Lin Jiang once more; he never expected this guy, lacking any impressive secret skills, would have such a hidden strength.

After hearing Lin Jiang’s guidance, Lin Hongcong gathered all his spiritual energy to protect his heart from the flames, while Zhou Yuan helped to counter the energy of the fire.

An hour later, the flames disappeared because Lu Xuan’s energy was used up, and Lin Hongcong was left with only half a life. Zhou Yuan was also lying on the ground, out of breath and exhausted.

At the same time, in a prestigious high school in Huaxia Yun River Province, a young boy suddenly shivered, and then a huge amount of information spread in his mind. After a moment, he looked at his classmates and revealed a strange smile. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Lu Xuan is dead."

In Haigang City, Cao Ying said to Lin Jiang.

"He is dead, and it doesn’t seem like he escaped cleverly, but I still feel something is wrong."

"I also think something is wrong. Lu Xuan should be a very smart person. If Qiu Weidao investigates him, he shouldn’t just lash out. He should either use connections to negotiate or escape. Once he attacks, it’s certain he will die, that’s for sure. Huaxia still has some strength."

"Yes, and after he got what he needed at the base, he could escape. With his speed, he could flee anywhere without a problem."

"Uncle, what should we do?"

"First, check and then speak."

Lin Jiang said that Lu Xuan’s behavior was unusual, and they all knew that, but they really didn’t know what was wrong with him.

After a long time, Zhou Yuan, Lin Hongcong, Chen Jinfa, and others all returned to Haigang City. Lin Hongcong was seriously injured, and Lin Jiang arranged for him to heal, while Zhou Yuan reported his work to Lin Jiang.

"Ancestor Lin, this Lu Xuan is very strange. I have seen him fight at Tianya Mountain Base, and he wasn’t this strong. It seems he has multiple states, each showing different levels of power. Also, his body is very unusual; his incredible recovery ability is stronger than some demon races, and besides…"

Zhou Yuan mainly reported his insights from the battle with Lu Xuan. He felt that Lu Xuan was full of secrets. Unfortunately, they couldn’t capture him alive; otherwise, they could slice him up for research.

"I have met Ancestor Lin."

"You are Chen Jinfa, I remember you."

"Yes, I am Chen Jinfa."

"Tell me about Lu Xuan’s case."

"Yes, elder, my interactions with Lu Xuan began…"

Chen Jinfa was very excited to see that Lin Jiang remembered him; this was a man who held power in this world.

Chen Jinfa told him everything about his dealings with Lu Xuan, including the case from the Penglai Continent years ago, and he did not hide anything, though he left out the part about hastily closing the case due to pressure.

"So, it seems that Lu Xuan might have used a clever trick to escape again?"

"Elder, I dare not make rash guesses, but I think that with Lu Xuan’s intelligence and knowledge, he wouldn’t make such an impulsive choice without a backup plan."

"Very well, how about you take on this case?"

"Thank you for your trust, elder; I will do my utmost…"

"No need to overdo it; I don’t like boasting, I need you to handle the case and get things done."

"Yes, elder."

"After Qiu Weidao comes back, I will ask him to give you the authorization. If the power is not enough, we will promote you one level. In any case, I want to get to the bottom of this matter."

Lin Jiang said that Lu Xuan’s presence has already threatened their core interests. A clear result must be reached; otherwise, once Lu Xuan breaks through Tao Achieving, it will be hard for ordinary people to control him. It seems that only Lin Jiang and Cao Ying can take action themselves.

"Little Ying, are you interested in playing with the matter of serving the people?"

"You want to use me to do something selfless, right?"

"Clever! I can’t get involved in this matter; you can be the bad guy for once."

Lin Jiang said that Lu Xuan is well acquainted with the new generation from Huaxia, among them is Lin Liyan. This time, they will all be punished, and Lin Ying values the Lin family a lot. If he comes himself, it will be very embarrassing for him.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I will come myself; I’m not afraid of offending anyone."

Cao Ying said that this time Lin Jiang wants to take advantage of the situation and find a way to carry out a big purge under the guise of anti-corruption.

For hundreds of years, Huaxia’s middle and upper levels have hardly changed. Social mobility is too poor, and class solidification is too severe. These guys are still engaging in corruption, and Lin Jiang can no longer stand it.

Checking the inside will surely upset some people, and someone has to play both good and bad roles. Cao Ying is not afraid to upset anyone, so she will take on that role.

"Thank you so much, Little Ying."

"It’s a small matter."

"You all should also go and rest."

Lin Jiang waved to Zhou Yuan and Chen Jinfa, signaling them to head back first. He needed to discuss details about the anti-corruption effort, which they should not hear.
