Li Xuanxiao frowned as he flew over the Demon Slaying Division.
In his line of sight, a certain area within the Demon Slaying Division was actually surrounded by a faint crimson mist!
Demonic Qi?
Ever since he started practicing Buddhist Dharma Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts, he had become very sensitive to these things.
"Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal" could not only be actively released but also came with a passive ability. For example, it allowed the practitioner to see things that others couldn't. It was like having opened a Heavenly Eye!
And that other Martial Art, "Pure Lotus Flower," was not to be outdone!
Not only did it make him impervious to all evil, but it could also actively expel Demonic Qi, soothe his allies' injuries, and restore a certain amount of their condition. As his Martial Arts Realm improved, the effect became even more astonishing.
Setting aside the fact that it could directly remove all debuffs, it even had an ability similar to resetting one's state. Li Xuanxiao had tried using it once and was immediately shocked by the effect!
Perhaps after reaching the Transcendent stage, this Martial Art could truly achieve an effect similar to instantly refilling health from near death!
He couldn't help but marvel at the profoundness of Buddhist Dharma. Although the Buddha's hairstyle wasn't great, he really had some skills in other areas!
He immediately dove down from the sky, his dazzling and flamboyant rainbow-colored light attracting many people's attention.
"Who is that, showing off so much?"
"So arrogant. I feel like he's mocking me!"
"I thought I, Long Tao, was already invincible in the world of showing off. Whose subordinate is this?"
His feet touched the ground, and the rainbow light instantly vanished. Li Xuanxiao headed straight for the place with the Demonic Qi. After turning left and right within the Demon Slaying Division, he discovered that the Demonic Qi was actually inside the Patrol Hall.
He slowly walked to the door of the Patrol Hall but was stopped by the guarding Martial Artists: "Which hall are you from? What business do you have here?"
Taking out his identity jade token, Li Xuanxiao said politely, "Lord Ling Yan and Lady Si Miaoyin asked me to come."
The guard looked at the jade token with a hint of suspicion on his face but let him pass anyway.
Li Xuanxiao immediately strode to the door of the main hall inside the branch. At a glance, he saw stretchers placed on the ground. From his perspective, a faint crimson color was slowly dissipating from their corpses.
And the person surrounded by several others next to the stretchers had an even denser crimson color on him!
What he had seen from high in the sky earlier was likely emanating from this person.
Li Xuanxiao's arrival also caught the attention of many people.
Si Miaoyin's eyes lit up: "Li Xuanxiao? Why are you here? Aren't you out on a mission?"
Si Miaoyin had gone to look for Li Xuanxiao later, wanting to persuade him to change his mind and not waste his time and talent in the Mission Hall. But she was told that Li Xuanxiao had taken three Xuan Realm level missions in one go.
While surprised, she was also delighted. It seemed Li Xuanxiao wasn't choosing the Mission Hall to be lazy; he had other reasons!
Ling Yan glanced at Li Xuanxiao, curled his lip slightly, and then looked away. Many other Martial Artists had no impression of Li Xuanxiao and were confused as to why he suddenly appeared here.
"Li Xuanxiao of the Mission Hall greets the Hall Master, Vice General Yang, all the Lords, and all my colleagues..."
Li Xuanxiao bowed politely.
But many people around him showed looks of disdain.
Mission Hall?
That retirement hall full of people just slacking off and lying flat?
Si Miaoyin immediately explained Li Xuanxiao's identity to the Patrol Hall Master.
The Patrol Hall Master nodded: "Since you're here, then come in."
Li Xuanxiao thanked him again, walked into the hall, and found a spot to stand. After asking around, he immediately understood the current situation.
A group of physical damage warriors had encountered magic damage demons. In the past, they could make up for the damage with numbers, but now they no longer had the advantage in numbers. So they were at a loss for a moment, stuck in a stalemate.
The corners of Li Xuanxiao's mouth curled up slightly. "If you can't do it, I can!"
He was now practicing Buddhist Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts. And Buddhist techniques were of a relatively balanced type.
No single aspect was overly prominent, but they were truly a Dual Cultivation of physical and magical paths.Moreover, they had almost every means of attack, defense, and recovery—essentially a hexagon warrior!
Especially since Buddhist Dharma had quite a bit of restraint against such bizarre Demonic Techniques. It had a certain counter-ability against many eerie methods.
This wave was simply a perfect match for his expertise! He was almost the perfect candidate!
"We can't hesitate any longer. Many days have passed since the news reached us."
"If we wait any longer, more surrounding cities will fall victim to the demons!"
"Whether it's gathering Martial Artists for a suppression campaign or me going there personally, a decision must be made now!"
After the Patrol Hall Master finished his speech, he was about to start giving orders.
Li Xuanxiao, however, raised his hand.
The Patrol Hall Master frowned, somewhat displeased at being interrupted: "What is it?"
Li Xuanxiao stepped out from the crowd: "I want to give it a try! I should be able to break this kind of Demonic Technique!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings were immediately in an uproar.
"Where did this young brat come from, talking so big here!"
"Even the Hall Master and Vice General Yang are at their wits' end, and you say you have a way?"
"The people from the Mission Hall are really getting worse and worse! They used to just slack off, but now they've started deceiving people!"
Countless taunts came flooding in like an overwhelming tide.
Even the Patrol Hall Master frowned slightly, while Yang Zhiru silently stroked his teacup lid with a playful smile.
Facing the many doubts and taunts, Li Xuanxiao's expression remained normal, and he was unmoved.
Si Miaoyin secretly tugged at Li Xuanxiao's hem and whispered, "Don't try to be a hero! These aren't the ordinary demons with no tricks that we encountered before! These are beings that even the Hall Master and the others find troublesome! You're only at the Profound Realm First Layer. Even if your combat power is amazing, you won't be able to help against such an existence."
Ling Yan also snorted: "Kid, what does our Patrol Hall's business have to do with you? Go show off somewhere else!"
Just then, everyone heard a scream. That surviving Inspector immediately spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood. His aura weakened once again; he clearly wasn't going to hold on much longer!
The nearby physicians were anxious but also helpless; this wasn't a situation they could handle. Even if they exhausted all their skills, they could only delay his death.
Everyone fell into silence again. The feeling of a comrade dying before one's eyes while being powerless to help was truly agonizing.
But Li Xuanxiao moved!
He silently walked up to the surviving Inspector. In Li Xuanxiao's eyes, crimson Demonic Qi was currently and continuously dissipating from his body.
The two physicians looked up at Li Xuanxiao: "What are you doing?"
Li Xuanxiao crouched down: "I have a way to cure him."
The two physicians immediately stopped him: "His life is hanging by a thread now. Don't add to the chaos here! Even we professionals are at a loss. What can you, a common Martial Artist, do?"
Li Xuanxiao chuckled and didn't waste time arguing.
Actions speak louder than words!
Once he saved this person using Buddhist Dharma, these people would naturally shut their mouths!
As his True Qi surged, a solemn and grand aura radiated from Li Xuanxiao's body.
Many Martial Artists present were astonished; this True Qi was too different from theirs!
It wasn't the sharp, piercing type with killing intent common among Martial Artists. Instead, it appeared very gentle, heavy, and long-lasting. It seemed able to soothe the violence, impetuousness, and anxiety in people's hearts. It contained a magic that calmed the mind.
The next second, a huge Lotus Platform appeared beneath the surviving Inspector. The Lotus Platform lifted him up, and the surrounding lotus leaves slowly bloomed, emitting a refreshing and profound aura. That crimson Demonic Qi made a sizzling sound as if it had met its natural enemy and was quickly cleansed and dissipated.
Not only that, but as the lotus bloomed, a vibrant life force was nurtured and slowly merged into his body. The surviving Inspector let out a groan of relief. His face, which had been grey and filled with Death Qi, was now returning to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye!
