Li Xuanxiao did not conceal his aura in the slightest.
He hadn't expected to encounter so many demons and devils on his way back. There were several times more than during the previous peaceful period!
Pei Prefecture has truly changed...
Although he coveted the Demon value Points on the demons, seeing the situation made him unwilling to waste too much time on the road.
So, he released his Mystic Realm aura, and as a result, no demon dared to obstruct him. Demons who sensed the Mystic Realm aura either trembled incessantly or deliberately avoided him from afar, taking a detour.
This way, Li Xuanxiao's speed increased significantly, and he spotted the Demon Slaying Division in just three days.
He descended rapidly from the air, and the Rainbow Light on his body dissipated.
Li Xuanxiao looked up and was immediately stunned. Good heavens, several Hall Masters and Vice General Yang were all present. There was also a burly fellow who seemed to be the leader of the group.
Li Xuanxiao guessed that this person might be Si Miaoyin's uncle, the Commander of the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division.
"Li Xuanxiao pays his respects to all the Hall Masters, Vice General Yang, and this... Commander?"
Li Xuanxiao bowed respectfully.
The several Hall Masters were still immersed in shock, with the Patrol Hall Master being the most astonished.
Li Xuanxiao had only asked him about the Mystic Realm a little over a month ago. At that time, it was evident that although this kid's talent was terrifying, he knew absolutely nothing about the Mystic Realm. He didn't even know the name of the Realm, completely a clueless novice.
Later, Li Xuanxiao rejected his suggestion and insisted on going out to slay demons. Although he admired Li Xuanxiao in his heart, he still thought that after suffering a bit, the kid would naturally change his mind and come back to him.
After all, everyone can preach grand truths, but few can actually act on them.
But he never expected that Li Xuanxiao not only didn't come back to him but had directly advanced to the Mystic Realm!
But, how long has it been since then?
Two months? Not even two months!
What kind of immortal being is this!
Compared to the Patrol Hall Master's shock,
Liu Gelin's emotions were much more complicated.
But his current feeling could be summarized in one sentence.
That is regret, extreme regret!
He had repeatedly expressed his desire for the other party to stay and work in the Law Enforcement Hall, and he had shown his sincerity. Unfortunately, Li Xuanxiao politely declined his goodwill, and he didn't think much of it then, believing that everyone has their own aspirations and there's no need to force things.
But seeing this now...
"Damn it! I should have used every means possible to keep this kid in the Law Enforcement Hall back then!"
The birth of a Mystic Realm Martial Artist meant that during the next resource allocation from headquarters, a large portion would be tilted towards the Hall this Martial Artist belonged to. The degree of this tilt could even make that Hall a presence second only to the Commander's Residence.
Liu Gelin silently closed his eyes and sighed softly. Li Xuanxiao was the very first person he had contact with after arriving at the Demon Slaying Division!
He was truly cursed; he missed such a great opportunity and actually let him slip away!
Where there is sorrow, there is joy. Unlike Liu Gelin's regret, the Mission Hall Master was very pleased. His old face, covered in wrinkles, was now filled with smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Originally, the Mission Hall was almost the lowest in status among the Eight Halls, and he, as the Hall Master, was just muddling along, getting by.
But unexpectedly, Heaven had given him a great gift!
Such a monstrous Genius had actually chosen his Hall.
The Mission Hall Master's habitually stooped back suddenly straightened, and his slightly lowered head was now held high. He snorted lightly, glancing left and right at the surrounding Hall Masters. The envious, jealous, and hateful looks he received made him feel vindicated and triumphant.
Yang Zhiru also showed surprise; he was truly shocked this time. When Li Xuanxiao first arrived, Yang Zhiru felt this kid was different from others. But he never expected his growth speed to be so fast!
From the first time they met, when he thought the other party was in the Extreme Realm, and then later when the other party slew a Third Layer of the Xuan Realm demon, he realized he was in the Xuan Realm.
Then, some time ago, when the other party healed that Inspector in front of everyone, Yang Zhiru discovered that Li Xuanxiao's Xuan Buddhist Dharma and vast True Qi were far beyond that of ordinary Xuan Realm cultivators. This made him suspect that the other party might have already reached the Late Xuan Realm.
At that time, he was slightly surprised, thinking that given time, Li Xuanxiao would surely become a pillar of the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division.
Then, he learned through the Patrol Hall Master that Li Xuanxiao was already at the Peak of the Xuan Realm!
Yang Zhiru thought that was the limit, and then today, the other party appeared before his eyes in the Mystic Realm...
He was truly getting old; he was starting to fail to see through this world.
How long did it take him to reach the Mystic Realm back then?
Forty years? Fifty years?
The younger generation is truly formidable!
The Commander carefully examined Li Xuanxiao. This was his first time meeting this figure who possessed a somewhat legendary aura.
Several Hall Masters had expressed their astonishment and praise for Li Xuanxiao's talent, calling him the most talented person they had ever seen, the one most likely to advance to the Fifth Realm of Martial Arts.
But at that time, he only offered a polite smile, not taking it too seriously in his heart. After all, as a member of the Si Family, a Martial Arts noble family from the Royal City, he had seen no less than a thousand geniuses since childhood, if not ten thousand.
At their level, reaching the Xuan Realm before the age of twenty was only considered passing. Reaching the Mystic Realm before the age of forty could be called talented!
But seeing him today...
Damn it!
A Mystic Realm cultivator under twenty years old!?
What should I call this?
Si Yiwu suddenly found himself at a loss for words. He had never imagined that he would one day be shocked by a person's talent, even feeling a bit of self-reproach and the need to look up to him.
Si Yiwu smiled faintly and suddenly understood why Si Miaoyin had asked him to take extra care of Li Xuanxiao before she left. He originally thought that her words about Li Xuanxiao being quite talented and worth nurturing, were just the filter of a lovesick girl looking at someone she favored, merely to mask the fact that she harbored secret feelings for him.
But now it seemed that wasn't entirely true.
Whether she harbored secret feelings might still be uncertain, but the statement that he was quite talented was absolutely true!
If Li Xuanxiao wasn't considered talented, then they might as well all quit practicing martial arts!
After many thoughts ran through Si Yiwu's mind, an uncontrollable joy followed.
In this turbulent situation, he understood what Li Xuanxiao's advancement to the Mystic Realm signified. A new Mystic Realm Martial Artist was enough to change the tide of the battle!
He had thought the demon chaos would last for some time, but now it seemed that time might not be too far off?
The monstrous youth was like a dazzling new star, rising irresistibly!
The Li Xuanxiao before him now possessed sufficient strength and qualification to participate in this great turmoil. He might even become a key figure influencing the situation!
Si Yiwu's heart surged with emotion, and he felt joy for the future of the Human Race.
Go! Go and give those demons a little taste of the Human Race's shock!
If the demons can produce a New Demon Emperor, our Demon Slaying Division can also produce a new Mystic Realm Martial Artist!
Life and death are taken lightly; if you disagree, then fight!
