Rebirth of Jinxuan

"Who are you? Where did you come from? What are you doing in the city?" the soldiers demanded sharply, the crystal in their hands emitting a faint light as it pointed directly at Lu Jinxuan and Zhang Yuxi.

Lu Jinxuan smiled slightly and said calmly, "We're here in the city to do business." She subtly hid Lu Yuhang behind her to prevent him from being exposed to the public too early.

Zhang Yuxi instinctively wanted to protect Lu Jinxuan behind her, but Lu Jinxuan gently pulled her back.

Lu Jinxuan gave him a reassuring look, then turned to the soldiers, saying calmly, "Sir, we mean no harm, we just want to enter the city."

The officers and soldiers clearly didn't believe her. Their gaze lingered on her for a moment, then they looked at the veil covering her face, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes. "Take off your veil!"

Lu Jinxuan's heart sank, but she did not panic.

She slowly raised her hand, removed her veil, and revealed a face of unparalleled beauty.

A murmur of amazement rippled through the crowd. Many were stunned by her beauty and momentarily forgot where they were.

Zhang Yuxi frowned, a feeling of displeasure welling up inside her.

He disliked the way these strangers looked at Lu Jinxuan, as if she were a rare and precious treasure for people to admire.

The officers and soldiers were also stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting the woman in front of them to be so beautiful.

But he quickly regained his composure, his tone becoming even sterner, "Who are you? Why are you covering your face?"

Lu Jinxuan smiled calmly, "My appearance has a slight flaw, so I cover my face. I hope you will forgive me, sir." She pointed to a small, almost invisible scar on her face, cleverly dispelling the soldiers' suspicions.

The officer waved the crystal in front of her, but it didn't react. He glanced at Lu Jinxuan suspiciously, then turned to Zhang Yuxi.

Zhang Yuxi snorted coldly and ripped off her cloak.

"We're here to do business, is there a problem?" His tone was icy, carrying an unquestionable air of authority.

The officers and soldiers were intimidated by his imposing manner and subconsciously took a step back.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the city.

A powerful demonic energy emanated from a certain direction within the city, filling the air with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"What's going on?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

The officers' expressions changed drastically, and the crystal in their hands suddenly shone brightly, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

At the same time, some people in the city wearing similar crystal ornaments also exclaimed in surprise, and their ornaments began to shimmer, as if resonating with that demonic power.

"It's a demon! A demon has entered the city!" A panicked shout erupted from the crowd, and people scattered and fled, creating chaos.

Zhang Yuxi pulled Lu Jinxuan behind her, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

He pulled a black cloak from his cloak and quickly wrapped it around Lu Jinxuan, concealing her striking appearance.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Zhang Yuxi said softly, her tone carrying a hint of gentleness.

The officers and soldiers had no time to question them and shouted loudly to maintain order, but the crowd was already in chaos and his voice was quickly drowned out by the noise.

Just then, a soldier pointed at Zhang Yuxi and shouted, "His cloak! Tear it off!"

Zhang Yuxi's eyes sharpened, and a chilling aura emanated from her.

Just as he was about to make a move, the demonic power within the city suddenly intensified, sweeping in like a surging tide.

Among the crowd, those wearing crystal jewelry shone even brighter, and the buzzing sound became even more piercing.

Some of the magical treasures even emitted a clear, ringing sound, as if responding to this powerful demonic energy.

"It's a high-level demon!" an old man in a brocade robe exclaimed. The jade ruyi in his hand emitted a dazzling light, illuminating his terrified face.

"At least at the Spirit Master level!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than figures burst forth from within the city, their speed astonishing.

These people all exuded powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that they were all highly skilled spiritual masters.

Among them, the most eye-catching was a team dressed in black, with golden demon-hunting badges embroidered on their chests—the Royal Demon-Hunting Team.

The soldiers at the city gate were thrown into chaos. The adjutant in charge pointed towards the city and shouted, "Quick! Go and provide support! We must not let the demons run rampant in the city!" With that, he rushed out first, and the other soldiers followed closely behind, scrambling to run towards the direction where the demonic power had appeared.

The soldiers who had been so aggressive just moments before, trying to tear off Zhang Yuxi's cloak, had long since forgotten about them. In their panic, they even bumped into Zhang Yuxi, muttering, "It's all these two outsiders' fault for wasting our time!"

Zhang Yuxi steadied herself, her gaze coldly fixed on the departing soldier's back, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

He shielded Lu Jinxuan behind him and said in a low voice, "Let's go in and take a look too."

Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the direction from which the demonic energy was surging within the city.

That demonic power... it actually felt somewhat familiar to her.

This aura is extremely similar to the aura emanating from Qing Yuan!

Lu Jinxuan was filled with doubt and confusion.

"Let's go." Zhang Yuxi took Lu Jinxuan's hand and walked towards the city.

Chaos reigned in the city as people fled in terror, their cries and screams echoing throughout.

Zhang Yuxi protected Lu Jinxuan as they weaved through the chaotic crowd, heading towards the area with the densest demonic energy.

As they got closer to the center of the demonic energy, the familiar demonic aura became clearer and clearer.

Lu Jinxuan was almost certain that the source of this demonic power was Qing Yuan!

Suddenly, Lu Jinxuan sensed an unusual fluctuation of spiritual energy, this fluctuation...

"Yu Hang!" Lu Jinxuan's expression changed drastically. She hadn't even noticed when Lu Yu Hang had left her side, and she stopped abruptly.

Zhang Yuxi noticed her unusual behavior and followed her gaze—

On a tall building not far away, two small figures stood on the eaves, quietly gazing in the direction of the surging demonic energy.

One of them was Lu Yuhang.
