Chapter 67: The Ins and Outs

A sharp shout rang out, Lu Fan's True Qi erupted, his Guiyuan Yiqi was stimulated to the extreme, urging the power of the Wildfire, and it looked like he was about to kill the other party with the fury of thunder.

"Brat, if you kill me! The secret of the Dazzling Illusion Mirror will never be solved, and that brat named Lu Fan will be dead for sure, and your Lu Family will also be unable to escape disaster!"

The Ghost Spirit was terrified and uneasy, his heart in chaos, and he couldn't care about anything else, shouting in alarm.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan's heart suddenly tightened, his hand movements stalled, and he asked strangely: "Wait! What did you just say, Dazzling Illusion Mirror? Is this the secret key to the treasury?" Lu Fan flipped his hand and took out the bronze mirror, then shook it.

When the Ghost Spirit saw this scene, he thought he had finally grasped a straw to save his life, struggling bitterly against the erosion force around his body, and nodded tremblingly.

Lu Fan frowned and pursued the question: "What is this about Lu Fan being dead for sure? And where does this talk of the Lu Family being unable to escape disaster come from?"

At this moment, his heart was shocked. This Ghost Spirit actually knew him and had linked it to the safety of the Lu Family. He instinctively felt that the strangeness of the Lu Family should be here. Although he valued it immensely, he remained calm on the surface.

The Ghost Spirit was extremely flustered and didn't notice Lu Fan's expression, saying urgently: "Lu Fan is the person chosen by the Heavenly Edict of the Lu Family, but his talent is too poor. With the assistance of our Great Qian secret medicine, he actually turned into a cripple. A small branch family ruined the great affairs of our Great Qian Lu Family; naturally, the Lu Family cannot escape disaster!"

He spoke concisely, but the deep meaning made Lu Fan's heart tremble. Since his rebirth, the various pieces of information about the Lu Family seemed to merge in this instant.

"Secret medicine infusion? So the strange state of this body was caused by you people; you truly deserve to die!"

Lu Fan was furious, his large palm swung violently, and the Art Refining Crystal Furnace spun wildly. A suction force suddenly erupted, sweeping away the clouds, and the misty Origin Qi liquid within ten feet of the surroundings was all wrapped into it in an instant.

Ancient, vast, chaotic, and greedily insatiable Desolate Beast aura erupted, and the fire beast shadow finally broke free from the distorted and uncertain hazy state at this moment, revealing a blood-colored, violent face.

Suddenly opening its eyes, an indescribable greedy aura dispersed, as if it wanted to swallow this entire world.

The Ghost Spirit was instantly silenced, unable to say a word. Qiuxiang behind Lu Fan sat on the ground, her eyes lost, as if her soul had dissipated.

"Gaga ga! This deity has finally manifested!" The fire beast shadow's face flickered, a look of excitement on it, staring at Lu Fan with contempt, saying: "Ugly little bug, you summoned me. As a reward, this deity will swallow you alive!"

As soon as his voice fell, his large mouth opened, and a suction force swept toward Lu Fan.

Lu Fan's pupils shrank; he never expected that he would summon the residual thought of a Desolate Beast so easily. He had studied the Desolate Seal for countless years in his previous life and knew a lot. Regarding the scene before him, although he had expected it, his heart was somewhat prepared, but the timing was greatly advanced.

Not surprised but happy, he grinned and laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! My crystal furnace is just missing a tool spirit. I originally wanted to suppress and refine this Ghost Venerable. Now using you to replace it is a hundred or a thousand times stronger!"

Before his voice had even faded, Lu Fan slapped down with his large hand, and a palm shadow condensed from Spiritual Power slammed onto the crystal furnace.

"Bang!"

A heaven-shaking sound exploded, and a mysterious power radiated from the crystal furnace, acting across the void on the fire beast shadow.

Although this Desolate Beast residual thought shadow was powerful, its weaknesses were too many. It was originally manifested by Lu Fan's condensation of Wildfire and was restrained by him. Coupled with the profound knowledge and deep insights of his previous life, driving this beast was like taking something out of a bag.

"Ah!" The fire beast shadow screamed in horror, suddenly realizing that his body was dissipating, and the face he had just condensed was slowly crumbling.

"This deity is the supreme spirit of heaven and earth; you cannot suppress me!"

With this beast shadow lost, the suction force rolled back, protecting his body, attempting to contend with Lu Fan.

"Heaven and Earth Boundless, Universe Dao Method, refine it for me!"

Lu Fan shouted, flames rolled on the crystal furnace, turning into a flame array, somewhat similar to the Wildfire array just now, but different. He actually used the secret formula of the Desolate Seal to suppress the Desolate Beast shadow.

"Ah! Little bug, you cannot suppress me. Once I stabilize my form in this realm, I will tear you apart inch by inch!"

The fire beast shadow's voice fell, but he drilled into the crystal furnace, actually not resisting at all, cooperating with Lu Fan, and falling into a deep sleep on his own as a tool spirit.

Lu Fan never expected this situation, feeling it was somewhat strange, saying leisurely: "This Desolate Beast is a bit interesting! It seems I have to be careful in the future!"

Lu Fan shook his head slightly, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, then turned his head to stare at the Ghost Spirit and shouted: "That monster is solved, prepare to die!"

The Ghost Spirit was suddenly stunned. The fire beast shadow had just been dissipated by his supreme pressure, and he hadn't had time to rejoice. He never expected that Lu Fan, who suppressed the fire beast shadow, would press down with pressure again. His heart trembled, terrified to the extreme, actually kneeling on the ground, trembling and saying:

"My Lord, spare my life. Lu Shanxing is willing to serve you in the future and follow your lead."

A Sixth-Tier Qi Refining Realm Ghost Spirit actually called Lu Fan "My Lord." If he weren't terrified and shocked to the extreme, how could he do such a humiliating thing?

"Lu Shanxing, so you are also a member of my Lu Family. I ask you, you traveled thousands of miles, what are you doing here?"

Lu Fan didn't really want to kill this Ghost Spirit; he just wanted to scare him. This Ghost Spirit should know a lot of things, and he had to interrogate him well and get everything clear.

"My Lord, Shanxing came here to deliver the secret order of the Great Qian main family. Because the journey was long, I came here in the form of a Ghost Spirit, for the sake of..." He stopped here, but looked at Lu Fan strangely. The other party's words just now had exposed the fact that he was "Lu Fan." It was truly a twist of fate; he hadn't even recognized the protagonist of his ten-plus years of hard work!

"Speak!" Lu Fan frowned, his eyes wide with anger.

Lu Shanxing immediately smiled bitterly and confessed honestly: "More than ten years ago, the Great Qian Ye Family's High Priest divined the birth of the Lord and ordered me to come and guard him in the form of a Ghost Spirit. But I didn't expect problems to arise; the Lord's talent was not apparent, and he became a cripple. I had no choice but to try to carry the message back to Great Qian to fulfill my mission. I never expected Lu Shanhu to interfere and actually trap me here."

As he spoke, he felt a bit bitter. The person in front of him was no cripple; he was clearly an unparalleled talent of the millennium. Even those outstanding juniors of the Great Qian Lu Family might not be able to suppress Lu Fan at this age.

"Oh? The old man left you behind; it seems your so-called return to fulfill your mission is not a good thing!" Lu Fan frowned, his gaze cold, and he immediately pressed down with pressure.

Lu Shanxing was so scared that he stammered, but he didn't dare to hide it, saying: "The person chosen by the Heavenly Edict turning into a cripple is a monstrous crime. The main family will certainly send Law Enforcement Elders to abolish the branch family's ancestral residence and kill all the direct descendants as a warning to others!"

"Hmph! What Great Qian Lu Family, they have quite a lot of nerve. This so-called person chosen by the Heavenly Edict, I fear there are quite a few of them, right?" Lu Fan's gaze was cold and aggressive.

Lu Shanxing seemed to have completely given up resistance, opening his mouth and saying: "My Lord, this has nothing to do with me; the Lu Family rules are like this. As far as I know, the adult children chosen by the Heavenly Edict will go to a secret place of our Great Qian main family to receive the ancestors' inheritance!"

Lu Fan heard this and gradually understood.

Many families that have been passed down for a long time have some secret inheritances. It seems that only descendants with special bloodlines can accept them. Clearly, this body possesses such a bloodline, but he never expected that something would go wrong during the youth's growth, turning him into a cripple.

Such things, in the eyes of some big families, are I fear a monstrous crime. The old man probably left this Lu Shanxing behind because of this. As for why his father and brothers had no news, I fear it also has something to do with this.

Looking at it this way, "he himself" is truly a disaster for the Lu Family; no wonder Lu Erye would treat him like this. There might be some other hidden circumstances, such as clan members fighting for power, but that is irrelevant.

"Hmph! Great Qian Lu Family, I know. When I go there in the future, if they don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will destroy their clan!"

Lu Fan snorted coldly, which made Lu Shanxing tremble all over. Reason told him to scoff at such wild words, but he couldn't produce even a shred of doubt in his heart, and he even vaguely worried about the fate of his family.

"Young Master Fan! I am so hot!" A weak, delicate voice came, and Lu Fan turned his head to see Qiuxiang lying on the ground, covered in sweat, her pretty face and wrists red.

"Fire poison has entered the body! Oh no, it seems the fight just now affected you!"

Lu Fan's expression was shocked, and he hurriedly walked over, one hand pressing against the other's back, True Qi pouring into her body. But Qiuxiang had no Martial Dao foundation, and the Wildfire was too overbearing, which was of no use at all!

"My Lord, there is a pool of Origin Liquid here; the abundant Heaven and Earth Origin Qi should be able to disperse this fire poison!" Lu Shanxing also walked over and said cautiously.

Lu Fan glanced at the other party slightly, then hurriedly picked up Qiuxiang and walked toward the stone door.

Mist filled the air, and abundant Heaven and Earth Origin Qi rolled over. The core of this space was a small pool surrounded by crystals. Mist steamed on it, Origin Power surged, and the rolling Origin tide was like giant waves.

Lu Fan couldn't care about anything else, placed Qiuxiang by the crystal pool, held her hand, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, this abundant Origin Qi is enough to disperse the fire poison; just endure it for a while!"

Qiuxiang nodded slightly. In the misty air, she had already felt a trace of coolness. But her whole body was still hot, and coupled with her weak body, she couldn't support it at all, feeling extremely weak.

"My Lord, although this Origin Liquid pool is man-made, the concentration of Origin Qi inside is a thousand times that of the natural environment. This little girl has the Ten-Thousand Wood Spirit Body; as long as she soaks in it, she will certainly be able to recover!" ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
