You've already caught the embroidered ball, and you still say it's not my husband?

As the floodwaters receded, Wanfu Temple was left in complete disarray.

pat, pat.

The golden eagle hovered a hundred meters above the temple, its beak wide open, its big eyes wide open, and it instinctively flapped its wings.

The people carrying Nangong Yourong on its back all wore the same expression.

They rushed to Wanfu Temple in a great hurry, having considered countless possibilities before arriving... but never imagined it would end like this!

The remaining members of the Black Fiend Cult, including the extremely dangerous and most difficult to deal with the left and right protectors, Yin Po and Yin Man, lay motionless like this.

Looking down at the temple, Nangong You Rong was utterly shocked: "What... what on earth is going on?"

The others looked at each other, their faces filled with astonishment.

The shocking scene of the giant water dragon bursting out of the ground, soaring into the sky, and then plunging down to flood Wanfu was still playing on repeat in their minds!

This scene is etched in their minds and will be unforgettable for the rest of their lives!

At the same time, they were also filled with doubt: who exactly possessed such amazing abilities to summon such a magnificent and terrifying water tornado to defeat the two protectors of the Black Fiend Cult and wipe out the remaining forces?

Some have speculated: "Could it be that these remnants inadvertently offended a powerful figure at the Refinement of Spirit Realm, who then took action in a fit of rage and wiped them out?"

The Yin Granny and Yin Barbarian, who had mastered the Black Fiend Demon Art, possessed extremely strong combat power, far surpassing that of ordinary fourth-rank cultivators. If the two joined forces, they would likely be invincible below the Refining Spirit Realm...

The water tornado that just now contained astonishing power seemed to be the work of a powerful cultivator at the Refinement of the Divine Realm, who used magic to draw upon the power of heaven and earth!

Therefore, the members of the Demon Suppression Division subconsciously guessed that it was very likely that a powerful cultivator at the Refining God Realm had wiped out this group of remnants of the Black Fiend Cult!

Thinking this way, they couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy.

Cultivation realms are roughly divided into the Body Refining Realm, Qi Refining Realm, and Spirit Refining Realm.

The Body Refining Realm (grades 9, 8, and 7) tempers the physical body; the Qi Refining Realm (grades 6, 5, and 4) draws Qi into the body to refine spiritual energy; and the Spirit Refining Realm (grades 3, 2, and 1) tempers the soul and draws upon the power of heaven and earth.

The Refining Spirit Realm can be considered the most elite combat power in martial arts cultivation!

In the vast Yunzhou, with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, only the governor guarding the city openly possesses such combat power...

Could it be that the governor learned of the news in advance, personally visited Wanfu Temple, and eliminated the wicked?

Or perhaps it was some reclusive master of the Refining Spirit Realm who made a move?

Are they enemies or friends?

While the members of the Demon Suppression Division were making wild guesses and staring intently down below—

Rumble.

Another commotion came from beneath the temple, and yet another water dragon burst forth from the earth!

This water dragon was much smaller than the previous one, but the shock it brought to the Demon Suppression Division was immense!

Because standing on this water dragon was a white-clad man with a faint smile on his lips—it was none other than Lu Xuan, who had single-handedly ventured into Wanfu Temple!

???

How could it be Lu Xuan?

Is this...is this reasonable?

At that moment, everyone was stunned, and time seemed to stand still.

"Oh, isn't this Commandant?" Lu Xuan manipulated the water dragon to soar into the sky, instantly becoming parallel to the golden eagle hovering in the air. "I'm so sorry to have worried Commandant and everyone. I'm so sorry."

Lu Xuan greeted the members of the Demon Suppression Division with a smile.

"Commander Lu... Commander Lu?!"

Nangong Yourong stared blankly at the smiling white-clad man on the water jet in front of her, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets, her mind seemingly short-circuiting, buzzing loudly.

The chipmunk sat blankly on her shoulder, the pine cones it was holding slipping from its hands and falling off the golden eagle's back, disappearing from sight...

"That's wonderful! Master is still alive!" Bao Bulu cried with joy, jumping up and shouting excitedly, "Master's cultivation is boundless, and his magical power is limitless! I knew Master would definitely be alright!"

Lu Xuan was its master, its backer, and its powerful ally. The little donkey was overjoyed that Lu Xuan was alright.

The other members of the Demon Suppression Division stood frozen in place like statues, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word.

They speculated wildly for a long time, guessing that Lu Xuan might have already perished, or that it was some powerful expert at the Refining Spirit Realm who had made the move...

Turns out I was completely wrong!

Lu Xuan was perfectly fine, unharmed, and there was no Refining God Realm expert at all. All that was there was Lu Xuan, who appeared in front of them controlling a water dragon!

Glug~

Everyone felt their mouths were dry and their throats were moving involuntarily, swallowing their saliva again and again.

Meanwhile, in the Blackwater River next to Wanfu Temple, Pearl quietly poked her head out.

When she saw Lu Xuan standing atop the waterspout, her expression became excited, her eyes filled with reverence: "It's Master! So everything before was Master's doing! Master is so amazing!"

Whether it was the drop in the Blackwater River's water level, the towering tornado, or the flooding of Wanfu Temple, it was all Lu Xuan's doing!

It's amazing!

Hu~hu~

Nangong Yourong gazed at Lu Xuan, took several deep breaths, her chest heaving like ocean waves, and calmed down a little.

"Captain Lu, what exactly happened? What... what happened?"

In fact, after seeing Lu Xuan manipulate the water flow, Nangong Yourong had a general idea of ​​the answer in her mind, but the answer was a bit too far-fetched, and even she herself dared not believe it.

"Um... well, I came to the temple, dealt with the fake monks there, and after learning that the other members of the Black Fiend Cult were hiding underground, I went underground and dealt with them... that's about it."

Lu Xuan stood on the waterspout and casually recounted what had happened, but to Nangong You Rong and the others it sounded like a thunderclap.

Lu Xuan single-handedly cleared Wanfu Temple!

They wiped out all the remaining members of the Black Fiend Cult, including Yin Po, Yin Man, and the young master, without leaving a trace!

This is... utterly unbelievable!

For the past six months, the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division has been pursuing and eliminating these remnants of the Black Fiends, but has made no real progress.

But what about Lu Xuan?

After accidentally learning of the whereabouts of the remnants of the Black Fiend Cult, he was not afraid but delighted. He bravely stormed Wanfu Temple alone and wiped out this group of harmful remnants in one fell swoop!

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, if the temple below was not littered with the corpses of the remnants of the Black Fiend Cult, who would believe it?

That's absolutely outrageous!

Call ~

This made the white-haired old man next to Nangong Yourong and several captains look unnatural, feeling a burning pain on their faces.

They had previously complained many times about Lu Xuan's reckless actions, worrying that he might alert the enemy and miss a good opportunity...

In retrospect, it was a complete joke!

To stir up trouble and alert the enemy?

Lu Xuan simply killed the "snake" to eliminate any future trouble, so what's there to be alarmed about!

Instead, they arrived too late and were of no use...

Now, faced with the shocking truth, they had no face to complain or blame Lu Xuan anymore, and instead began to praise him.

"Captain Lu is a young and promising officer who has wiped out the remnants of the Black Fiends, a truly great achievement!"

"Wow~ Captain Lu's supernatural abilities are unparalleled. He's probably close to reaching the threshold of the Refining Spirit Realm, isn't he? He's truly a genius, far beyond my reach!"

"Dongliang, Lieutenant Lu is the pillar of our company! It is truly our company's good fortune that the Commandant has recognized his talent and recruited him!"

His colleagues in the Demon Suppression Division praised Lu Xuan highly.

Bao Bulv couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, "These guys are shameless! They were just criticizing my master, but now that they've witnessed his power, they're all fawning over him, showing disgust and contempt!"

Lu Xuan smiled and waved his hand casually, saying, "It's nothing special, just a small thing."

These were just his polite words, but they left the members of the Demon Suppression Division with a somewhat unpleasant feeling.

If Lu Xuan's defeat of the Black Fiend Sect's left and right protectors and his annihilation of the Black Fiend Sect's remnants are nothing to brag about, then what about their half-year-long, fruitless pursuit?

Wouldn't that make them look incompetent? Like a herd of cattle and sheep that only know how to eat grass?

Lu Xuan, a lone tiger, was surrounded by herds of cattle and sheep.

An invisible slap in the face can be deadly!

"Ahem." Nangong Yourong coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.

She then looked at Lu Xuan and teased with a smile, "Captain Lu is really... indifferent to fame and fortune, and proud of himself."

Lu Xuan's lips twitched slightly, feeling that this didn't seem like a compliment at all...

【Ding! 】

The system notification sounded.

[The "Saving Yao" order - Purge Wanfu Temple (Purple) - is now complete.]

Just now underground, Lu Xuan used the Tide-Rising Water Technique to defeat Yin Po and Yin Man, and also used the Great Heavenly Medical Technique to treat Hong'er and the others. Now they have been brought to the surface by the water flow and are lying quietly. They will wake up soon.

Lu Xuan had thus completed the order.

[Congratulations, host, you have received the following rewards: Cultivation Points +9999, Thunder Control True Understanding (Perfected).]
