Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 385 Former Top-Ranking Bodyguard!
In the heart of Yingnan City's prime central business district, where land is incredibly valuable, stands a luxurious estate covering nearly a thousand acres.

This is a flagship project of the Lu family's Huafu Group, and the most magnificent main residence in it naturally became the ancestral home of the Lu family.

Inside the imposing white marble wall, a smart electronic gate stands guard, with more than a dozen uniformed security personnel on duty 24 hours a day.

As the electronic access control system was activated, the steel gate slowly opened.

Three cars sped in along the winding ginkgo avenue.

Neatly trimmed imported lawns line both sides of the driveway, and more than ten European-style villas are scattered in the distance.

The convoy bypassed the imposing main villa in the center and drove straight to an annex villa on the side.

The convoy eventually stopped in front of a three-story Baroque-style villa—the private residence of Lu Guangchen, the third-generation direct descendant of the Lu family.

As soon as the two Land Rover Defenders came to a stop, several bodyguards in black nimbly leaped out of the cars, lined up in a well-trained formation, and jogged to the middle limousine.

Lu Yuliang, the eldest son of the Lu family, who was at the head of the group, took three steps at a time and personally bent down to open the back door of the car.

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit.

His deep gaze, as still as an ancient well, slowly swept over the meticulously manicured French gardens and the priceless sculptures and fountains, finally settling on the magnificent villa.

Every detail here silently speaks of the astonishing wealth the Lu family has accumulated over the years.

Stepping inside the villa, one is greeted by marble floors and walls that are so shiny they reflect light like a mirror.

Several nannies in matching uniforms huddled in a corner, their faces ashen, their eyes filled with terror.

Suddenly, a hoarse, frantic scream came from the second floor.

The sound spiraled down the white marble staircase and echoed in the high-ceilinged atrium.

The hysterical female voice had clearly been screaming for quite some time.

Her vocal cords were torn and her voice was distorted, yet she continued to howl tirelessly, as if some terrifying nightmare was haunting her.

The piercing scream was like a blunt knife, scraping the nerves of everyone present.

Lu Guangchen's face instantly turned ashen, and his fingers unconsciously dug into his palms.

Lu Yuhong, the third son of the Lu family and chairman of Huafu Group, swayed slightly as he stood to the side.

This ruthless figure, who has weathered decades of ups and downs in the business world, now appears older than ever before.

His wrinkled eyes twitched slightly, and cloudy tears glistened in them—that was his most beloved daughter!

"Dad, it's those damned evil spirits that have been haunting Xiaoyi..."

Lu Yuhong squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, and everyone present couldn't help but look solemn.

After all, anyone would feel a little uneasy about these invisible and intangible filth.

A dark glint flashed in Lu Xuan's deep eyes, and his gaze became increasingly serious.

In the original owner's memories, Lu Keyi of the Lu family was the little girl with always smiling eyes who called the original owner "great-grandfather".

Even though the original owner of this body had been living in seclusion deep in the mountains, this little girl still called every week without fail, three times a week.
In a soft, gentle voice, she would patiently remind him, "Great-Grandpa, remember to wear more clothes," and "Did you take your medicinal meals on time, Great-Grandpa?"

During festivals, that pink luxury car would always appear on the driveway of the mountain villa.

The little girl, carrying bags of tonics, walked along the dew-dampened cement road, smiling as she visited the original owner of this body.

Lu Xuan nodded slightly: "Yes, let's go check on that girl Xiao Yi first."

A simple sentence sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

The power of a Grandmaster at the peak of Transformation Realm is no ordinary matter.
Relying on the original body's power, the Grandmaster of Transformation Realm at its peak unleashed his full strength.

His body radiated a powerful masculine energy, and his internal strength could be projected outwards within a few feet, its power invincible. Moreover, his original cultivation level was already infinitely close to the legendary realm of embracing the elixir.

Whenever the Qi is fully activated, a surge of blood energy soars into the sky, surging and churning like a dragon or a serpent.

With profound skill in boxing, his martial will is as majestic and powerful as a mountain range, deep and weighty, with an aura that seems to overwhelm the world.

The carved wooden door to the master bedroom on the second floor opens to reveal a cozy and inviting boudoir.

Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains onto the princess bed covered with a goose down comforter, where a row of plush toys sat neatly against the lace pillows.

A young girl, around twenty years old, wearing a snow-white nightgown, was curled up in the middle of the bed.

That face, which should have been bright and beautiful, was now twisted and contorted in a grotesque manner.

Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open but empty and lifeless, and her cherry lips parted wide, emitting a piercing roar.

Veins bulged on his porcelain-like skin, making it look like countless insects were wriggling beneath it.

Four mountaineering-grade nylon ropes dug deep into her slender limbs, leaving bloody marks on her fair wrists and feet.

The girl seemed oblivious, continuing to convulse at an eerie frequency, each struggle causing the bed frame to groan under its strain.

Just then, Lu Keyi suddenly turned her head, a crisp "crack" sounding from her neck, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Lu Xuan, who was standing at the very front.

"Roar--!"

Suddenly, a roar that was completely inhuman erupted from her throat, the sound waves causing the crystal chandelier to shake violently.

As if she had encountered something terrifying, she began to struggle frantically.

The nylon ropes on his limbs dug deep into his flesh, leaving shocking bloodstains.

Lu Xuanshuang's white eyebrows suddenly lifted.

In an instant, golden light burst forth in his cloudy eyes, like two suns rising suddenly.

A vast and unfathomable pressure suddenly descended, and even the floor of the room groaned under its weight.

Everyone present felt a sudden tightness in their chests, as if a massive boulder were pressing down on them.

The original owner was a martial arts giant who was just one step away from the legendary Core Formation Realm.

Such a terrifying being unabashedly unleashed its oppressive aura.

The overwhelming martial will pressed down like a mountain range, causing the windows of the entire villa to vibrate.

In a daze, everyone seemed to see a long dragon of blood and energy appearing and disappearing behind the old man, baring its fangs and claws.

"Dad, we can't hurt Xiaoyi."

Despite the overwhelming pressure, Lu Yuhong staggered forward two steps.

His forehead veins bulged, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, yet he still stared intently at his bound granddaughter.

Because these evil things are formless and intangible... they cannot be controlled without the methods of magic.

Even though his own father was a grandmaster of martial arts in the Dragon Kingdom, his fists, kicks, and powerful winds couldn't harm these demons and monsters!

So this time, they specifically asked their father to help them, in order to make connections and contact people in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

Ultimately, the Lu family's current foundation is entirely due to the connections and influence of its patriarch, Lu Xuan.

Back in the day, when the old man was young, he was a bodyguard for a high-ranking official in the Dragon Kingdom.
