I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 120: Extortion—Making Outrageous Demands!

"Have I been discovered?"

From afar, Mo Ronghua noticed that Lu Xuan glanced this way, and realized that his spying had already been discovered by the other party.

"You all stay here."

After speaking, Mo Ronghua headed towards the inn.

Just then, Zhao Sheng saw Mo Ronghua’s figure on his way and hurriedly spoke up.

"Mr. Mo, our esteemed envoy requests your presence."

"Alright, I shall go see him now."

Inside the inn.

As soon as Mo Ronghua stepped into the inn, the door closed swiftly, causing his eyelids to twitch slightly with a hint of shock.

However, Mo Ronghua didn’t lose focus for long, his eyes sparkled as he stared at the person ahead.

Such a young man?

Is he the Profound Envoy of the White Dao Prefecture? A martial artist who mastered the Inner Qi realm?

The one to replace Li Chengfeng?

Upon clearly seeing Lu Xuan’s face, Mo Ronghua’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Mo Ronghua, filled with deep suspicion, spoke to Lu Xuan.

"Are you the Profound Envoy of the White Dao Prefecture?"

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep as a starry river, quietly observing Mo Ronghua.

Only after Mo Ronghua spoke did Lu Xuan gently nod, indicating his identity.

With Lu Xuan’s confirmation, Mo Ronghua’s inner shock intensified.

Soon after, Lu Xuan calmly spoke.

"You’re the Profound Envoy of Jingtai Prefecture, right!"

"Mr. Mo, surely you’ve guessed why I’ve asked you to come here."

Lu Xuan didn’t beat around the bush and directly brought up the matter of the two great demons.

"As far as I know, these two great demons, under Mr. Mo’s watch, escaped successfully to Fenglin County in White Dao Prefecture."

"Regarding this matter, Mr. Mo, shouldn’t you provide me with an explanation."

Hearing this, Mo Ronghua’s expression became somewhat peculiar.

This new envoy of the White Dao Prefecture, isn’t he sharp?

Meeting face to face, he didn’t bother with pleasantries and immediately accused him!

Interesting!

Mo Ronghua didn’t react angrily to Lu Xuan’s words but instead inquired about Lu Xuan’s name.

Among the Profound Bird Guard, Mo Ronghua knew most martial artists who mastered the Inner Qi realm.

But a young martial artist in the Inner Qi realm like the one before him, he hadn’t seen.

He was very curious about the background of this young man.

"I don’t know your name, esteemed envoy of the White Dao Prefecture. I am Mo Ronghua, the Profound Envoy of Jingtai Prefecture."

"Lu Xuan!"

Lu Xuan calmly uttered these two words.

Lu Xuan?

Upon hearing this name, Mo Ronghua thought to himself.

He hadn’t heard of any martial artist mastering the Inner Qi realm with the surname Lu from the Celestial Capital.

In Mo Ronghua’s memory, there was no Lu surname major power in the Celestial Capital.

It shouldn’t be right.

Could it be that this Lu Xuan comes from some reclusive major family?

Otherwise, looking at this young man, appearing to be in his twenties.

Already cultivated to the realm of Inner Qi mastery.

A peerless prodigy indeed!

That old guy Li Chengfeng, where did he find such an astonishingly formidable talent!

No one knew just how shaken Mo Ronghua’s heart was at this moment.

Being one who mastered the Inner Qi realm, his Dao-heart was always as solid as a rock.

But upon seeing Lu Xuan.

His Dao-heart, stable as a mountain, began to shatter inch by inch, and his worldview in his mind crumbled and vanished.

After a moment, Mo Ronghua’s complex emotions finally settled down.

His Dao-heart almost collapsed.

No choice.

Facing such a peerless prodigy like Lu Xuan, anyone would doubt their life!

Mo Ronghua pondered for a long time, finally looking at Lu Xuan, he spoke slowly.

"Mr. Lu, the appearance of the two great demons in White Dao Prefecture is indeed my fault."

"Once I return, I will truthfully report this to the Celestial Capital Profound Bird Guard Headquarters."

"At that time, I will also obtain resources from the Prefect of Jingtai Prefecture to compensate for the losses in Fenglin County."

"Mr. Lu, do you find this resolution reasonable?"

After finishing his words, Mo Ronghua raised his right hand, confidently stroking his white beard.

He thought that this decision would surely gain Lu Xuan’s approval.

Therefore, Mo Ronghua displayed an appearance of relaxed contentment.

However, the next moment, Lu Xuan spoke words that left Mo Ronghua dumbstruck.

"Not reasonable!"

These three words were spoken by Lu Xuan without hesitation, decisively opposing Mo Ronghua’s decision.

Mo Ronghua’s hand stroking his white beard froze in mid-air.

"Hmm?"

"Is my decision unreasonable?"

"Mr. Lu, what do you suggest?"

After Mo Ronghua spoke these words, Lu Xuan’s expressionless face finally revealed some emotion.

It was what Lu Xuan considered a very kind and warm smile!

Because, Lu Xuan had been waiting for this moment.

Seeing Lu Xuan slightly smile at him.

This scene made Mo Ronghua recall that ominous premonition once more.

"Mr. Mo, you’re in the wrong here."

"These two great demons not only caused devastating damage to Fenglin County but also forced me to drop everything and travel across miles to arrive here."

"To deal with these terrifying demons, I spent an immense amount of effort and managed to successfully slay them."

"The resources consumed were countless."

"Therefore, Mr. Mo, you shouldn’t only compensate for the losses suffered by Fenglin County, but also for the massive amount of resources I exhausted."

Lu Xuan once again demonstrated his skill in audaciously asking for compensation without a change of expression, speaking untruths with eyes wide open.

After Lu Xuan’s words, the inn fell into a deathly silence.

......

Mo Ronghua finally understood Lu Xuan’s implication, his eyes widened again, pupils shaking, filled with incredulous emotion.

Was he being extorted?

Oh dear, as a dignified, high-ranking Profound Level authority, holding sway over an entire prefecture.

Mo Ronghua never expected that one day, he’d be extorted right to his face.

Seeing Mo Ronghua speechless, Lu Xuan spoke again.

"What’s the matter, Mr. Mo, you seem to agree with my suggestion."

"How about this, seeing that Mr. Mo has traveled arduously, pursuing the two great demons, you have indeed done your duty."

"I won’t demand excessive compensation."

"Let’s settle at five portions of mid-grade earthly spiritual objects, twenty portions of lower-grade earthly spiritual objects to reimburse my losses."

"These resources are still a bit less compared to what I consumed slaying those two great demons."

"But out of respect for Mr. Mo, I’ll reluctantly accept."

After speaking, Lu Xuan showed a hint of willingness to compromise, appearing as if taking a small loss was no issue.
