The Brilliant New Star

Li Xuanxiao made no attempt to conceal his aura.

He hadn't expected to encounter so many demons on his way back.

There were several times more than during the previous peaceful period!

Pei Province had truly changed...

Although he was tempted by the Demon Points on the demons, seeing the current situation, he didn't want to waste too much time on the road.

So, he released his Mystic Realm aura. With that, no demon dared to obstruct him.

Demons who sensed the Mystic Realm aura either trembled uncontrollably or kept their distance, taking detours.

This significantly sped up Li Xuanxiao's journey, and within three days, he saw the Demon Slayer Division.

He descended rapidly from the air, his rainbow light dissipating.

Li Xuanxiao looked up and was immediately stunned.

"Well, well, several Hall Masters, Deputy General Yang are all here."

"And there's a burly fellow, who seems to be the leader of this group."

Li Xuanxiao guessed that this might be Si Miaoyin's uncle, the General of the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division.

"Li Xuanxiao greets all Hall Masters, Deputy General Yang, and this... General?"

Li Xuanxiao bowed respectfully.

The Hall Masters were still immersed in shock, especially the Hall Master of the Patrol Hall.

Li Xuanxiao had only asked him about the Mystic Realm a little over a month ago.

At that time, it was clear that although this kid had terrifying talent, he knew nothing about the Mystic Realm.

He didn't even know the name of the realm; he was a complete novice.

Later, Li Xuanxiao refused his offer and insisted on going out to slay demons.

Although he admired Li Xuanxiao, he still felt that the kid would naturally change his mind after some hardship and come back to find him.

After all, anyone could talk big, but few could act.

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 had it been?

Two months? Less than two months!

What kind of divine being was this!

Compared to the shock of the Patrol Hall Master, Liu Gelin's emotions were much more complex.

But his current feelings could be summarized in one sentence.

That was regret, immense 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.

However, Li Xuanxiao had politely declined his offer. At the time, Liu Gelin hadn't taken it too seriously, thinking that everyone had their own aspirations and there was no need to force them.

But now, looking at this...

"I should have used every means to keep this kid in the Law Enforcement Hall back then!"

The emergence of a Mystic Realm martial artist meant that the next resource allocation from headquarters would heavily favor the hall this martial artist belonged to.

The degree of favoritism would even elevate that hall to a position second only to the General's Residence.

Liu Gelin closed his eyes and sighed softly. Li Xuanxiao was the very first person he had interacted with after arriving at the Demon Slayer Division!

He really felt like he'd been screwed over. He missed such a great opportunity and let him slip away!

While some were happy, others were sad. Unlike Liu Gelin's regret, the Hall Master of the Mission Hall was overjoyed.

His old face, covered in wrinkles, was now beaming with smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Originally, the Mission Hall held the lowest status among the eight halls, and he, as its Hall Master, was merely coasting along, doing the bare minimum.

But he never expected that heaven would bestow such a great gift upon him!

Such a monstrous genius had, of all people, chosen his hall.

The Mission Hall Master, who always had a stooped posture, suddenly straightened up. His habitually lowered head was now held high.

He let out a soft hum, glancing left and right at the other Hall Masters. Feeling their envious and jealous gazes, he felt a surge of pride and triumph.

Yang Zhiru also showed a look of astonishment; he was truly taken aback this time.

When Li Xuanxiao first arrived, Yang Zhiru felt that this kid was different from others.

But he never imagined that the other party's growth rate would be so rapid!

When they first met, he thought the other party was in the Apex Realm, but after the other party killed a demon at the Profound Realm Third Layer, he realized he was in the Profound Realm.

And then, not long ago, when the other party was treating that Inspector in front of everyone...

Yang Zhiru discovered that Li Xuanxiao's profound Buddhist teachings and his vast, surging True Qi were far beyond what an ordinary person in the Profound Realm could achieve.

It made him doubt for a moment, thinking the other person might have already reached the late stage of the Profound Realm.

He was slightly surprised at the time, thinking that with time, Li Xuanxiao would surely become a pillar of the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division.

Then, through the Hall Master of the Patrol Hall, he learned that Li Xuanxiao had actually already reached the peak of the Profound Realm!

Yang Zhiru had thought that was the limit, but today, the person appeared before him with the realm of the Mystic Realm...

He was truly getting old, no longer able to comprehend 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 General carefully observed Li Xuanxiao. This was the first time he had met this rather legendary figure.

Several Hall Masters had expressed their astonishment and admiration for Li Xuanxiao's talent.

They called him the most talented person they had ever seen, the one with the greatest hope of advancing to the fifth realm of the Martial Path.

But at that time, he had just politely agreed with a smile, without paying much attention in his heart.

After all, as a member of the Si Family, a martial arts family from the Royal City, he had seen no less than a thousand geniuses growing up.

At their level, reaching the Profound Realm by the age of twenty was considered passing.

Reaching the Mystic Realm before forty could be called talented!

But after seeing him today...

Damn it!

The Mystic Realm before the age of twenty!?

What should I even call him?

Si Yiwu suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

He had never imagined that he would one day be so shocked by someone's talent.

He even felt a sense of inferiority, as if he needed to look up to him.

Si Yiwu smiled slightly, suddenly understanding why Si Miaoyin had asked him to take extra care of Li Xuanxiao before she left.

He had initially thought her many claims that Li Xuanxiao was talented and worth nurturing

were merely the filter of a young girl infatuated with someone she liked, that these words were just to hide her secret affection.

But now, it seemed that wasn't entirely the case.

Whether she was secretly in love might still be uncertain, but that he was indeed talented was absolutely true!

If Li Xuanxiao wasn't considered talented, then they might as well all give up on practicing martial arts!

After many thoughts, Si Yiwu felt an irrepressible joy.

In this current 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 calamity would continue for some time, but now it seemed it wouldn't be too far off?

This monstrous young man was rising like a brilliant new star, unstoppable!

The Li Xuanxiao before him now possessed enough strength and qualification to participate in this great chaos.

He might even become a key figure influencing the situation!

Si Yiwu's heart surged with emotion, feeling joy for the future of humanity.

Go! Go and give those demons a little taste of human shock!

If the demons can produce a New Demon Emperor, our Demon Slayer Division can also produce a new Mystic Realm martial artist!

Life and death are trivial, if you disagree, just fight!
