Chapter 359: Chapter 302: I will take responsibility for you, Yunrou_1

When Li Xuan bid farewell to Ao Shuying and returned to Tianshi’s mansion, he found it was still in a state of chaos.

Zhang Shenye had already begun a three-months’ seclusion to recuperate from his injuries.

He entrusted all matters of Longhu Mountain and the funeral arrangements to Xue Yunrou and Zhang Xuanzhong and other people. He only planned to come out for a day or two during the funeral of the young Heavenly Masters and disciples of Tianshi’s mansion.

Xue Yunrou led a group of experts in Taoist techniques from Longhu Mountain to repair the damaged nodes of the ’Heavenly Thunder Array’ located around the mountain.

Previously, she used the ’Zhengyi Fumo Sword’ for emergency repairs to the Array. For durable effectiveness, it was still necessary to engrave Array patterns on-site, set up an altar and use better Array materials.

This was undoubtedly the urgent matter for Longhu Mountain. It wasn’t just the former Heavenly Master Zhang Guanlan, who might return, that required caution, but also the numerous demons present in Xiangshan and Wuyi mountain ranges.

Although Xue Yunrou wasn’t in Tianshi’s Mansion, no one dared to neglect the esteemed guest Li Xuan.

Zhang Xuanzhong, who was in charge of repairing Tianshi’s mansion, had gotten instructions from Xue Yunrou early on to arrange a quiet room spanning thirty feet for Li Xuan to rest.

The room had just been repaired. A corner of its eaves had been collapsed by the impact of flying debris —— but now this was the best room in Tianshi’s Mansion.

With nothing else to do and not wanting to add chaos, Li Xuan took a seat in the quiet room, commenced inward viewing and started paying full attention to the possible existence of ’Taotie’ and ’Wuqu Pojun’ within his body.

Li Xuan speculated that those two Immortal artifacts from Xiao’s Mausoleum might now be within his body.

Because the characteristics of absorbing external power and enhancing the Yi of his sword resembled ’Taotie’ and ’Wuqu Pojun’, it’s just that it’s drastically inferior in terms of firepower.

Those two Immortal artifacts had allowed Yu Yanjun to have heavenly level combat power at that time!

However, Li Xuan couldn’t confirm it because he had witnessed Yu Hongshang smash those two armors into powder.

That day, these items had dissipated into golden dust under everyone’s watchful eyes.

When Li Xuan began to sense, he quickly discovered that within his arm muscles, there were strangely shaped metal threads hidden.

These threads were overall blood-red gold in color and extremely fine. They were densely packed on both the inside and outside of his arms, forming a large net under his skin, and numerous wires on it conglomerated to form the shapes of sculptures.

"It really is——"

Li Xuan recognized these patterns, he had seen them that day inside Xiao’s Mausoleum.

’Taotie’ and ’Wuqu Pojun’, the patterns on the outer part of these two armors were shaped this way.

However, beyond this, Li Xuan failed to sense anything more. He didn’t sense the Artifact Spirit of the two weapons nor did he figure out how these things entered his body. He couldn’t even figure out how these metal threads were formed inside his body.

The only certainty at this moment was, ’Taotie’ and ’Wuqu Pojun’, these two Immortal Artifacts have indeed regenerated within his body.

The hunger he felt earlier might be related to the recovery of these two Immortal Artifacts. The reason ’Taotie’ and ’Wuqu Pojun’ recovered in his body was likely because Taotie had devoured the souls of those cultivators.

Because without any doubt, Li Xuan could confirm that these peculiar threads weren’t present yesterday.

Every time before he practiced the ’Hunyuan Celestial Scripture’, he used to perform a comprehensive inward view to understand the condition inside his body.

Yesterday, because he was concentrating on the concept of ’Nuclear Fusion’, he was extra careful during his inward view and didn’t dare to be the least bit negligent.

Li Xuan convinced himself that if these red gold threads had been inside his body at the time, he couldn’t have missed them.

From the time he fell into an exhausted sleep yesterday till now, only today’s battle within Longhu Mountain could have led to the formation of these threads.

——They couldn’t have been licked out by the she-dragon on Ao Shuying’s bed, could they?

Li Xuan then tried to use the powers of ’Taotie’ and ’Wuqu Pojun’. He swung his sword casually, but couldn’t summon any force of Taotie and Pojun onto it.

Li Xuan pondered it over and tried to recall his battle with Li Zhetian, remembering his desire to kill Li Zhetian then.

The next moment, indeed, Li Xuan saw a layer of blood-colored light lingering on his ’Bixue Leique Sword’.

As Li Xuan had speculated, the key to activating this weapon was a person’s intention to fight and kill.

His usual mentality during martial arts practice couldn’t activate it.

Li Xuan then used that blood-colored halo to sense for a while, before a glint flashed in his eyes.

"What is this?"

It was the true meaning of Martial Law of Lan Yu and Fu Youde.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, one was good at ice and fire, and the other controlled wind and thunder, which caused his ’Bixue Leique Sword’ to form more ice and thunder power. Then there was the power from ’Wuqu’ and ’Pojun’, the two stars from outer space, as well as the martial intent and malicious intention of the two unparalleled military generals.

The key was that this force almost perfectly fused with his own true understanding of Martial Law.

Li Xuan couldn’t help but get excited, thinking this was interesting indeed.

Lan Yu and Fu Youde were the unparalleled generals from three hundred years ago, their martial skills earth-shattering, and they likely had already entered the realm of the Middle Heaven Level.

Their realization of Martial Law, even if Li Xuan could utilize only one percent of it, would be incredibly remarkable.

No wonder that Zhang Zhaoyuan was decapitated by his sword, unable to withstand even a single strike from him.

Li Xuan figured that even if he didn’t borrow the strength from the five thousand ’pseudo-confucianist’ Taoist schools, Zhang Zhaoyuan would still not be his match.

If he could skillfully utilize the power of these two instruments combined with the ’Shenyi’, apart from people at the level of Qiu Qianqiu, hardly anyone else in this world’s Fourth Gate would be able to withstand his blade.

And once the two immortal treasures were completely repaired, who could know what kind of power they would possess?

As for the danger of the deadly weapons consuming their master mentioned by Zhang Shenye, compared to the power they provided him, this risk was insignificant.

While Li Xuan was studying these two damaged immortal artifacts and fully immersed in them, he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Li Xuan looked towards the door with suspicion, since he had explicitly told Zhang Xuanzhong earlier not to let anyone disturb him.

But the next moment, he heard the soft voice of Xue Yunrou saying: "It’s me."

With a ’squeak’, Xue Yunrou pushed the door open. She was now donned in a purple Taoist robe that accentuated her attractive figure, exuding a charm that was irresistible and enchanting.

"Yunrou?" Li Xuan was mildly surprised: "Didn’t you go off to repair the ’Shenxiao Heavenly Thunder Array’?"

From the time he began studying the two immortal artifacts until now, he believed it had not been more than two hours.

"The foundation of the array was basically intact. All I had to do was take care of the most important part, the rest was left to the disciples. Now that I have inherited the ’True Fumo Sword’, I am considered the Young Heavenly Master in Heaven’s Mansion, how could I possibly do everything on my own?"

After Xue Yunrou walked over, she directly settled down next to Li Xuan. Her head and delicate body leaned against Li Xuan and her arms tightly embraced Li Xuan’s waist.

It seemed as if she was using all her strength, wishing that there was no gap or distance between the two of them.

If this had happened before, Li Xuan’s spine would probably have gone ’crack’. But with the existence of the Taotie, he did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, Xue Yunrou’s beautiful figure and soft body stirred his heart and mind.

Li Xuan then realized that this girl seemed to have taken a bath, and her body smelled of a very pleasant natural fragrance and the aroma of soapnuts.

Li Xuan felt his blood surging with heat as his breath became heavy and hot.

Yet he swiftly tried to control his impure thoughts, consoling Xue Yunrou with a comforting hand on her back.

Just by feeling Xue Yunrou’s strength, he knew that this girl was in a highly unstable mood.

Having just experienced the severe injury of her uncle and the death of her two older cousins, any girl would be affected.

Especially since Xue Yunrou’s father passed away early and she grew up by the knee of Zhang Shenye. The Heavenly Master was like a teacher and a father to her.

The two deceased Young Heavenly Masters were like her elder brothers.

The recent chaos on Longhu Mountain had a devastating impact on Xue Yunrou, one that Li Xuan knew he could never fathom.

Li Xuan was unsure of what he should say to comfort her, so he could only use body language to soothe Xue Yunrou’s emotions and aim to be the most reliable support in Xue Yunrou’s heart.

Xue Yunrou held Li Xuan tightly, and it was not until a quiet moment later that she spoke up: "I wish we could stay like this forever - wrapped in your arms, never letting go."

However, she sighed shortly after, releasing some of her grip: "I don’t even know how to thank you properly. If it weren’t for you, my uncle might have been doomed. Even if he survived, he would be forced into hiding. I would only be able to watch Li Zhetian get away with the murder of my loved ones, unable to do anything."

"Surely it wouldn’t have been that bad?" Li Xuan couldn’t help but laugh: "Master Zhang is no ordinary person. Even if I hadn’t been there, he would have had a way to resolve it. Also, didn’t we agree to get married? Are thanks still necessary between us?"

Upon hearing the phrase ’get married’, Xue Yunrou’s eyes instantly dimmed a little. She buried her head in Li Xuan’s chest again, not allowing him to see the expression on her face: "By the way, what did the Dragon King say to you just now?"

"The Dragon King? he didn’t say much, just a lot of thanking." Li Xuan’s heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface, "He also gave me something as a token of gratitude."

"Really?" Xue Yunrou remained skeptical, sighing softly: "Li Xuan, you’re great in every way, except for your flirtatious nature. You’re also really good at fooling girls, all kinds of girls can’t escape your charms."

Li Xuan was not pleased. He believed he was a man of good character. Although he enjoyed flirting with women, he treated everyone sincerely and responsibly.

It was at this moment that Xue Yunrou lifted her head and looked up at him: "Xuan, take me tonight."
