Chapter 380: Chapter 286: Lu Xuan’s Astonishment! Princess Xingyue Returns from the Dead!_2
Upon hearing the name Lu Xuan, a subtle, imperceptible surprise flashed through Ying Lingfeng’s previously calm eyes.
Soon after, Ying Lingfeng instinctively stroked his beard lightly, his movements gentle, and began to speak with a profound meaning that was hard for others to grasp.
"This Lu Xuan, achieving such feats at a young age, is indeed extraordinary."
Ying Lingfeng slightly narrowed his eyes, as if recalling or contemplating, "Even within the Celestial Martial Realm, this Lu Xuan is no less than any prodigy of the sacred grounds!"
"Including the Daozi of our own sect, at Lu Xuan’s age, was somewhat inferior to him."
As Ying Lingfeng spoke, his usually calm face showed a hint of unabashed fluctuation.
That was genuine admiration for Lu Xuan’s astonishing martial prowess!
In the Great Xia Empire, very few things could shock him, a Void Realm True Monarch standing at the pinnacle of cultivation.
In fact, it can be said, there’s practically no such possibility.
Upon hearing his master Ying Lingfeng’s evaluation of Lu Xuan, Chang Mingsheng couldn’t help but be stunned.
He knew full well his master’s discerning eye was extremely high, rarely giving such high praise to anyone,
"Master, this Lu Xuan...?"
"How should I choose, disciple?"
Chang Mingsheng couldn’t help but ask, wanting to know his master’s intentions.
Should he choose to befriend this Lu Xuan, or choose to be his enemy.
Ying Lingfeng smiled slightly, his gaze deep, seemingly reminiscing.
As the Temple Master of Daoxu Temple, he had also understood places beyond the Great Xia Empire.
That is precisely the Celestial Martial Realm!
The Great Xia Empire, this piece of land, is merely a continent in the vast Celestial Martial Realm.
Yes!
To be precise, it’s a continent sealed by the Great Xia Saint Ancestor with supreme power.
Then Ying Lingfeng slowly said, "Mingsheng, do you know how vast the Celestial Martial Realm is?"
"There, geniuses are as numerous as clouds, sacred grounds stand in great numbers, each person called a ’prodigy’ is a rare existence among thousands."
"And this Lu Xuan, even among those sacred grounds, is no less than any prodigy."
Hearing this, Chang Mingsheng felt even more shocked.
He eagerly whispered, "Master, if Lu Xuan continues to grow, it might be a great threat to our plans."
"Moreover, it seems that Lu Xuan has already been regarded as a confidant by that Empress!"
"Should we... eliminate him as soon as possible?"
Dense killing intent flashed in Chang Mingsheng’s eyes, as he was also quite apprehensive about Lu Xuan.
Because!
Lu Xuan’s martial prowess was simply too astonishingly exaggerated.
It is said that he, at the age of merely twenty, already possesses the Great Success in Divine Mansion Realm, the strength of a Primordial Spirit.
He himself, an old fellow who has cultivated for hundreds of years, is only now at the same level as Lu Xuan, both in the Great Success in Divine Mansion Realm.
Ying Lingfeng gently shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of profound meaning: "Mingsheng, you are too impatient."
"While Lu Xuan’s talent is remarkable, unless he breaks through to the Void Realm, he cannot affect our major affairs."
"Moreover, his existence is not necessarily all bad for us."
Chang Mingsheng furrowed his brow slightly and asked in a low voice: "What does master mean...?"
"If we can use Lu Xuan, he would be a sharp blade to clear many obstacles for us."
"Even if we cannot use him, we can have others remove him."
"Why act personally and invite unnecessary trouble?"
This Lu Xuan, while his martial talent is extremely monstrous, his ability to attract enemies matches his martial prowess.
Among the eight great families, several have already begun to target Lu Xuan.
Hearing this, realization dawned in Chang Mingsheng’s eyes.
He respectfully nodded, "Master’s insight is profound, disciple understands."
After listening to Master Ying Lingfeng’s analysis, Chang Mingsheng became enlightened.
He originally felt immense threat from Lu Xuan’s existence, to the point of considering secretly eliminating him.
However, his master’s words made Chang Mingsheng realize that Lu Xuan’s existence might not be all bad, and might even become a sharp blade in their hands.
Chang Mingsheng then asked in a low voice: "Master, how should we proceed now?"
"Should we secretly fan the flames, allowing those forces dissatisfied with Lu Xuan to make the first move?"
Ying Lingfeng stroked his beard, yet under Chang Mingsheng’s gaze, shook his head in refusal.
"There’s no need to rush. Although Lu Xuan has provoked the eight great families, he is currently held in high regard by the Empress, with a stable position."
"If we act rashly, we might create unnecessary complications. Better to observe and wait for an opportunity."
Hearing this, a hint of realization flashed in Chang Mingsheng’s eyes: "Master means to let those dissatisfied forces strike first against Lu Xuan."
"While we add fuel to the fire from the shadows, reaping the benefits of their conflict?"
Ying Lingfeng nodded, a look of approval on his face: "Exactly."
Chang Mingsheng respectfully nodded: "Disciple understands. Rest assured, Master, I will proceed cautiously and avoid alarming our target."
Ying Lingfeng slightly nodded, then gazed into the distance, seemingly piercing through the void to look toward the Celestial Capital Imperial Palace.
He murmured softly: "Lu Xuan... This one is indeed interesting."
"However, just talent alone does not qualify one to participate in that matter."
"Hehe!"
"The Power of Origin of the Earth Venerable Realm, this time, this humble one is determined to obtain it!"
