Chapter 125: Attacking the Tenth Order
Returning to Tianxuan Mansion from the Yuwai Kingdom, Huang Xiaolong did not anticipate that the first thing he would hear about was how the Li Residence had been annihilated. These past years, Huang Xiaolong had requested Marshal Haotian to keep his ears to the ground and protect the Li Residence from the shadows. Yet the Li Residence could not escape from this calamity.
At this time, Marshal Haotian rushed over to Tianxuan Mansion after he was informed of Huang Xiaolong’s return.
After greeting Huang Xiaolong, Marshal Haotian reported everything in detail related to the Li Residence’s obliteration.
“Sovereign, I have tracked them down and found the main culprit.” After he finished reporting, Marshal Haotian added this information.
“Haotian, according to your judgment, what is the other side’s strength?” Huang Xiaolong’s solemn voice sounded.
“Judging from the Poison Blood Palm on Liu Mu’s and Li Cheng’s chest, the other side is very likely a Xiantian realm expert.” Marshal Haotian spoke with a serious expression on his face.
“A Xiantian realm expert.” Huang Xiaolong frowned.
That year, the culprit who killed Green Hawk Gang Leader Jiang Wei was only a peak Late-Tenth Order warrior. Did that person have a breakthrough and step into the Xiantian realm? If this was the case, the matter was more troublesome than he expected.
It didn’t matter if the other side had just advanced into the Xiantian realm.
At the moment, there were Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou who could deal with that person.
Moments later, both Fei Hou and Marshal Haotian were excused.
Huang Xiaolong told them to increase the number of Tianxuan Mansion guards on duty, especially to ensure Li Lu’s safety.
Li Lu was the sole survivor of the Li Residence, and in Huang Xiaolong’s opinion the killer would definitely uproot the bloodlines of the Li family by killing Li Lu.
Deep into the night, the pure and clean moonlight was shining brightly.
Huang Xiaolong stood in his yard looking up at the bright moon in the night sky.
At this time, footsteps sounded behind him and he turned around to see Li Lu. Li Lu was wearing a lavender muslin dress that nipped flatteringly at her waist. Walking towards him in the moonlit sky, she was the very picture of a fairy descended into the mortal realm.
Li Lu approached until she was in front of Huang Xiaolong, and then she stood still.
“Xiaolong,” Li Lu opened her mouth after a brief moment of hesitation: “I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me.” Huang Xiaolong looked at her.
“I have broken through the Seventh Order.” Li Lu said.
“Seventh Order?!” Huang Xiaolong was slightly surprised. Going by Li Lu’s talent, she couldn’t have advanced to the Seventh Order at her pace, even when taking into consideration the cycad fruits and Fire Dragon Pearls that he supplied her with.
Did Li Lu come across some fortuitous adventure as well?
Noticing Huang Xiaolong’s confused expression, Li Lu elaborated: “A while back, the Academy had an outside task and I fell into a pool of water.Because I was famished, I ate some small grass that looked like mushrooms and directly broke through from late-Sixth Order to the Seventh Order.
Both of Huang Xiaolong’s eyes widened in disbelief. That Li Lu had this kind of good fortune allowing her to make a straight breakthrough from a late-Sixth Order to the Seventh Order… what exactly were those mushrooms?
But, while Huang Xiaolong was still pondering about the magical mushrooms, a bright light burst out from Li Lu and a shiny long black sword hovered behind her. Black runes flowed like liquid on the surface of the black sword.
This was the appearance of Li Lu’s martial spirit, Dark Divine Sword.
However, in the very next moment another dazzling light burst out. Behind Li Lu, a long white sword appeared. This white sword was almost transparent, exuding a holy atmosphere with twinkling golden lights floating over it that looked like small golden elves.
“This is?!” This time, Huang Xiaolong was flabbergasted.
