Chapter 128: Lu Mingxuan

With a heart free of distractions, he is clad in ink; with deep affection, he fills the quiet cave.

Above the sky, the bright moon and the stars vie for favor, spilling a string of silver light onto the floor of the Mountain Cave.

Chen Yan contemplates in tranquility, forgetting his surroundings and forgetting time at this moment.

Hearing, smell, and the five senses gradually shut down.

In his line of sight, only the Ancient Divine Beast eyeball in his hand remains.

The Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast has two eyeballs, one of which is only Earth Vein Grade A.

Yet the one in Chen Yan's hand is Qingqiong Grade C-Class.

The array mysteries contained within it far exceed those of the other one.

Not only does it have a powerful Displacement Array, but it also contains hidden Array Patterns.

The reason Chen Yan was able to kill the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast last time,

was not because the opponent's concealment ability was too weak.

It was because the battle took place inside the ice cave Chen Yan had created himself.

The Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast's concealment ability was of no use at all.

At this moment, Chen Yan contemplates quietly.

On his body, individual Extreme Satin patterns begin to flow like ink, and a profound and Zhuang Jue array pattern is branded onto Chen Yan's skin.

Only after this protective pattern appears does it begin to constantly change and transform.

The Zhen Character Fruit has not yet matured.

But Chen Yan is no fool; through his own constant attempts, he has also gained some insights.

As time shifts, clouds roll and unfurl above the night sky, and the stars dot the vast firmament like shattered jade.

The stars shift and the Dipper turns.

The curtain of night quietly fades, and the eastern horizon takes on a fish-belly white.

A Great Sun rises high, and the wind circulating through the Mu Lin begins to feel scorching.

There is no time in the mountains.

"Chen Yan, you are the most diligent person I have ever seen."

A soft woman's voice interrupts Chen Yan's contemplation.

Chen Yan looks over; a tall woman's figure blocks much of the sunlight from outside the Mountain Cave.

Shen Youning's gaze is calm, her pupils crystalline like black jade, carrying a sense of mystery within the stillness.

Her vermilion lips part slightly, and Shen Youning speaks again:

"A call came from the Dark Soul side."

Chen Yan stands up.

【Array: 85/100】

After one night of contemplation, the progress of the Zhen Character Fruit has increased by fifteen points.

In the past, this would have been almost impossible.

After all, the current growth difficulty of the Sacred Fruit is fifty times what it used to be.

Chen Yan is filled with anticipation; he has not yet consumed the Zhen Character Fruit.

His protective pattern already has the flavor of Martial Grade Class A.

If he were to consume it, his growth progress would be too shocking.

…………

Below the hillside.

A team of Military Officers treads through the branches and wood of the Shanlin, arriving extremely quickly at the location of the Yunmeng City Military Martial Guard.

Among this group of people is Song Yinchen, whom Chen Yan met yesterday.

At this moment, she still has a cold expression, wears ink-colored clothing, and carries a Long Sword on her back.

Only when she repeatedly looks at the thin, tall youth in military uniform before her does a trace of admiration appear in Song Yinchen's eyes that she cannot hide.

Leading the group is that very youth in military uniform.

The person's appearance is not strikingly handsome, but he is very pleasant to look at, and the smile on his face is faint; upon his arrival, he attracts the attention of all the Military Officers of the Yunmeng City Military Martial Guard.

Geniuses of the New Dragon Guard like Zhan Hun, Lu Linqian, and Li Qingyuan also walk out of their tents in unison at this moment, looking at the youth.

Lu Mingxuan, the First Heaven's Pride on the surface of the Yixian City Military Martial Guard.

He is also the son of Lu Xiliang, the Minister of the Yixian City Military Martial Department.

Such strength, if placed in Yunmeng City, would very likely be the First Heaven's Pride who suppresses everyone.

"Deputy Minister Liu." Lu Mingxuan sees Liu Hua, who is waiting to welcome him, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings inadvertently:

"It has been a long time since we met."

"Indeed, when I last saw you, you were only ten years old..." Liu Hua says with a faint smile.

"This Ancient Beast Riot is considered over on the whole, but it still requires our two sides to observe for a few more days." Lu Mingxuan says with a smile.

"Good, I didn't expect you to have grown to the point where you can kill a Third-Tier Peak Ancient Divine Beast." Liu Hua nods, a sigh for the passage of time appearing in the depths of his pupils.

This time, the two cities' Military Martial Guards cooperated, but the Yunmeng City side didn't contribute much effort.

It was this youth named Lu Mingxuan who killed the Ancient Divine Beast in one stroke and cut off the turmoil.

In the distance, Li Qingyuan looks at Lu Mingxuan, feeling a trace of scorching heat even from a great distance.

The other party stands there, yet it is as if a volcano is slowly burning.

So strong!

"Between him... and Chen Yan, who is stronger?" Li Qingyuan asks somewhat cautiously.

The most peak genius he had ever seen with his own eyes was Chen Yan.

Therefore, upon seeing other geniuses, he would naturally compare them to Chen Yan in his heart.

"Chen Yan is definitely more impressive," Lu Linqian whispered.

"Yeah!"

Li Qingyuan nodded; he thought the same.

"Lu Linqian, are you dreaming?" Zhan Hun said strangely.

"Even if that Brother isn't as good as Shao..., that Brother is Lu Mingxuan."

"Chen Yan is still more impressive," Lu Linqian whispered.

Zhan Hun was speechless.

To the side, Lu Mingxuan's expression was slightly surprised.

Although he was still some distance away from Li Qingyuan and the others.

But at this level, their Perception was extremely keen.

Chen Yan?

A new name.

Is he stronger than me, Lu Mingxuan?

Behind Lu Mingxuan, Song Yinchen's expression was calm, but in her heart, a trace of the lament only felt for the weak emerged.

Lu Mingxuan was, after all, an existence who could suppress Malice as heavy as waves and slay a Third-Tier Peak Ancient Divine Beast.

Sometimes, strength does not explain everything.

Willpower is what she admired most.

At the same time, Liu Hua seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly said:

"Since you've come, stay for two days; it would also be..."

"Fine!"

Lu Mingxuan's reply was crisp, which actually made Liu Hua Stun.

He was only being polite; where Lu Mingxuan went still depended on the arrangements from Yixian City.

"Uncle Liu, have you seen Shen Youning?" Lu Mingxuan, however, began to scan his surroundings.

Liu Hua opened his mouth; so Lu Mingxuan had other intentions for coming here.

Behind Lu Mingxuan, the Woman named Song Yinchen had a calm expression.

But when she heard the three words "Shen Youning," the flickering Mu Guang still revealed some other meaning.

Liu Hua pursed his Mouth; even though he was old, seeing this scene, he still wanted to say, "Is it this melodramatic?"

Liu Hua was about to speak when he saw the forest in the distance stirring.

Two figures quickly passed through the Ancient Trees.

It was a man and a Woman.

The man was handsome, and the Woman was elegant and spirited.

Chen Yan gestured slightly toward Liu Hua and the others, then his figure flashed and he rushed into his own tent.

He didn't notice at all that the scene had become exceptionally quiet because of his arrival.

Lu Mingxuan glanced at Chen Yan's back, then hurriedly spoke to Shen Youning, who was one step behind Chen Yan:

"Long time no see."

"Yeah." Shen Youning glanced at Lu Mingxuan, somewhat surprised, but still said politely:

"Long time no see."

Then, without looking back, she walked into the tent where that Youth was.

Silence.

In the distance, Li Qingyuan's mouth hung wide open.

Being handsome, are the benefits this great?

"Pfft!"

Beside Li Qingyuan, Zhan Hun couldn't hold back and let out a Laughter, then hurriedly covered his mouth.

"What are you laughing at? Go die," Lu Linqian cursed in a low voice.

Zhan Hun hurriedly waved his hand and laughed extremely quietly:

"That Lu Mingxuan, he is truly pitiful."

How could he not be pitiful?

For the sake of Shen Youning, he brought a team over.

As a result, just after arriving, he saw Shen Youning and Chen Yan together.

At this moment.

The surroundings were silent.

Everyone who saw this scene turned their Gaze toward Lu Mingxuan.

They only felt that the seemingly exceptionally cheerful Youth must be feeling icy cold in his heart right now.

"Who is that person?" Lu Mingxuan looked at the tent where Chen Yan was and spoke in a low voice.

"Chen Yan," Liu Hua said.

Lu Mingxuan nodded, though his expression was somewhat somber.

Behind him, Song Yinchen's expression remained calm.

It was just that what she thought in her heart was a bit more.

Ever since Chen Yan refused her invitation to kill the Ancient Divine Beast yesterday.

Song Yinchen had simply forgotten about him.

After all, no matter how much of a Heavenly Pride you are, without the courage to face an Ancient Divine Beast, you are just a Waste.

Only a genius with a strong will like Lu Mingxuan was a true genius in Song Yinchen's heart.

It was just unexpected that Chen Yan, without a sound, had actually ended up together with Shen Youning.

…………

Inside the tent.

Chen Yan naturally did not know the thoughts of Song Yinchen and the others.

If he did know, he would also curse under his breath.

Idiots.

While he was contemplating his own survival, you damn people were actually thinking about romance?

Is it not boring?

"Dark Soul says, in three days he will meet you at the Yunmeng City South Suburb..."

Inside the Camp, after Shen Youning took out a sophisticated Soundproof Instrument, she spoke to Chen Yan in a low voice.

Chen Yan stared at the instrument with some surprise and nodded:

"I know."

"What is the use of knowing?" Xu Di said in a muffled voice from the side: "The key is how are you going to solve it?"

"You exposed too much yesterday, Dark Soul will only send stronger people to kill you..." Shen Youning pondered:

"At this time, for him to invite Bing Yi again does not conform to common sense."

Chen Yan was in Silence, he also did not expect that the Ju Ming he blasted apart yesterday.

Was actually Platinum Grade Twelfth.

Twelfth, just this kind of Waste?

He had thought it was just small fry.
