I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 95: Black Feather Guard

At this moment, the Fengyue Building had already transformed into a mass of endless darkness, and the direction of the doorway was nowhere to be seen.

The middle-aged man, Mr. Qing, in the blink of an eye, felt a chilling yin energy coming straight at him.

Suddenly, a blurred black shadow appeared before his eyes, cloaked in a green gauze, with its face indistinguishable.

The pitch-black hair, like a deep abyss, moved without wind, as if living serpents were slithering around in the air, glimmering with a cold, eerie light.

The next moment, the black shadow’s hair surged, carrying terrifying yin energy, engulfing toward the middle-aged man and Hua Jianghe like a sky-covering wave.

The middle-aged man’s pupils quaked as he felt the spirit-chilling yin energy, causing the blood in his body to rapidly boil.

The knife in his hand emitted swirling white steam, slicing toward that airborne green silken hair, attempting to destroy those strands imbued with yin energy.

The endless strands of hair were severed by the fierce blade light, drifting in mid-air with countless strands glimmering a deep luster.

However, not long after, the middle-aged man’s energy and blood quickly began to collapse.

The large knife in his hand showed numerous cracks, and the hand wielding the knife had already started to show signs of cold yin energy, eroding his vital strength.

"This yin energy must have reached the level of a complete-form sinister entity."

Complete-form sinister entity.

That can only be countered by the energy and blood of a martial artist who has mastered the Blood Refining Realm. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

His energy at the minor success level of the Blood Refining Realm couldn’t withstand this horrific yin energy at all.

Based on what he heard back then, the Wind Moon Tower Ghost seemed to be just one sinister entity; martial artists of the Blood Refining Realm could eradicate it.

But now, this Wind Moon Tower Ghost has not only awakened early but also its yin energy far exceeds the past rumors.

Fear flickered in the eyes of the middle-aged man, Mr. Qing, as he watched the endless strands still drifting in the void, firmly surrounding him and another.

"Mr. Qing, save... me!"

Hiding behind the middle-aged man, Hua Jianghe let out a chilling cry for help.

The middle-aged man, Mr. Qing, upon hearing the sound, immediately looked back.

Only to see Hua Jianghe’s body was already pierced by slender strands.

And these strands were the ones Mr. Qing had just cut off, falling to the ground.

"Xiaohe!"

A flash of sorrow appeared in Mr. Qing’s eyes.

Hua Jianghe had already been invaded by those terrifying yin energies internally, unable to sustain life, and in just a few breaths turned into a skeletal remain.

As soon as Mr. Qing’s sorrowful roar faded, the strands that blotted out the sky behind surged wildly, threatening to engulf him.

The next morning, Li Chengfeng personally came over to invite Lu Xuan to discuss matters in the hall.

Li Chengfeng’s old face was adorned with a smile as he turned to speak to Lu Xuan sitting beside him.

"Xuan, friend, come, sit here!"

"I heard from Zhao Sheng and the others that you seem to be very interested in the Profound Bird Guard. I wonder if you have the intention to join us."

Li Chengfeng had learned that Lu Xuan, this unparalleled genius, intended to join the Profound Bird Guard, so he thought to strike while the iron was hot and probe his intentions.

When Lu Xuan heard this, he looked up at Li Chengfeng, keeping a composed expression, and then spoke calmly.

"I do have that in mind."

"But, I am used to being carefree, and besides, I am not very familiar with the rules of the Profound Bird Guard,

If Mr. Fen doesn’t mind, could you give me a detailed introduction?"

Joining the Profound Bird Guard indeed piqued Lu Xuan’s great interest.

But the Profound Bird Guard is affiliated with the imperial court, which inevitably introduces constraints. Being independent might be more liberating.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Profound Bird Guard considerably aligned with his interests, Lu Xuan really wouldn’t want to interact with these officials.

"Regarding this, Xuan, friend, you need not worry."

"We in the Profound Bird Guard only heed the current emperor, so constraints are minimal; we can act first and report later."

"Even the local government must unconditionally obey our Profound Bird Guard’s directives."

"However, every year, some people from Tiandu come out to inspect the various city mansion’s Profound Bird Guard."

Lu Xuan felt reassured about the minimal constraints, letting go of the lingering concerns.

However, Li Chengfeng’s last sentence made Lu Xuan frown.

"Inspection?"

"Who are these people?"

It was just perfect timing; Lu Xuan disliked people pointing and commanding him.

"Don’t worry, Xuan, friend, those people have no authority over you; they’re just here to inspect the Profound Bird Guard’s situation."

"They’re checking on the Profound Bird Guard, regarding the extermination of sinister entities and beasts, then reporting back to the current emperor in Tiandu."

"Black Feather Guard!"

While the Profound Bird Guard is the Great Xia emperor’s sword for external affairs, the Black Feather Guard acts as his eyes and ears, overseeing the realm.

Hmm?

The first thought in Lu Xuan’s mind was that they were like auditors checking the accounts.

That relieved him.

"By the way, Mr. Fen, I heard Zhao Sheng say that the celestial artifacts have much greater benefits for martial artists than major medicinal herbs."

"I wonder if these celestial artifacts exist within the Profound Bird Guard."

Next, Lu Xuan no longer concealed and asked the question he most wanted to know.

If there truly were such celestial artifacts, Lu Xuan wouldn’t need to rely solely on slaying those extraordinary sinister entities and beasts to earn system points.

He could also consume celestial artifacts to gain a large amount of system points.

"Of course there are!"

"Every city mansion’s Profound Bird Guard possesses a wealth of celestial artifacts from Tiandu."

"Then, based on the tasks completed by each member of the Profound Bird Guard, celestial artifacts are distributed."

"Only by completing tasks above the sinister level will you receive the reward of celestial artifacts."

"Celestial artifacts are classified into lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and top grade."

"In the city mansion’s Profound Bird Guard, most are lower grade celestial artifacts, with a scant few middle grade ones."

"Furthermore, in the city mansion’s Profound Bird Guard, only one person is assigned to manage these celestial artifacts."

At this point, Li Chengfeng paused, looking meaningfully at Lu Xuan.

"That person is the Profound Level Profound Bird Guard, in charge of the Profound Bird Guard for a region."

Li Chengfeng’s gaze was of little concern to Lu Xuan; what he cared about was.

The fact that there was a limitation on the number of celestial artifacts.

This dashed Lu Xuan’s hopes of unrestrictedly completing tasks to acquire a large number of celestial artifacts.

"Mr. Fen, what if the celestial artifacts in the city mansion are insufficient; what happens then?"

Huh!

Lu Xuan’s question instantly astonished Li Chengfeng, who widened his eyes in disbelief at Lu Xuan.

This Xuan, friend, truly had quite the appetite!

"If celestial artifacts are insufficient, you can request them from the Profound Bird Guard Headquarters."

"However, it’s best not to be too excessive, or else those people from the Black Feather Guard will find out."

"At that time, if that individual discerns it, the consequences will be severe!"
