Chapter 612: Chapter 395: Ten Thousand Valleys Returning Flow Fist Sixth Layer, Physical Body Restored to Peak!

Inside dorm 506, the confrontation remained tense. Three strands of black mist, resembling human hands, had silently crept to Lu Xuan’s side, their tips almost touching his clothes.

Originally, three pairs of blood-red eyes had locked onto Lu Xuan in a triangular formation, but now only one pair remained, hovering in the air before him.

The other two apparitions had teleported behind Lu Xuan, forming a pincer attack. The chilling aura in the room was thick enough to almost freeze the surrounding air.

Just as the black mist was about to entwine Lu Xuan, a warm golden Qi Force suddenly erupted from within him, enveloping him like an invisible protective shield.

The black mist, upon touching the golden Qi Force, ignited violently as if it were sparks thrown into oil.

The dark fog curled and dissolved in the golden light, producing crackling sounds like burning cloth, as if it wasn’t mist but dried grass thrown into a blazing inferno.

The two apparitions that had moved behind him were also pushed back several feet by the golden light, a hint of dread flashing in their blood-red eyes.

"Scatter!"

A deep, resonant word rolled out from Lu Xuan’s throat. Though not loud, it thundered through the dormitory like a burst of lightning.

In the next second, a wild wind tore through dorm 506, surging out from around him with scalding heat, breaking through the dorm door and sweeping through the entire fifth floor corridor.

Discarded cardboard boxes in the hallway were swept into the air, and dust from corners and wood chips from floor seams were all caught up in the wind, swirling in the hot currents.

The entire floor was thrown into chaos, as if the apocalypse had descended.

The three flaming apparitions couldn’t even struggle as the searing airflow shredded them into pieces, completely dissipating into the air.

The whirlwind had not completely calmed when a visible golden ripple emanated from the gaps between the door and window frames of dorm 506.

The ripple spread out like a golden lake disturbed by a stone, layering and expanding.

Wherever it passed, the lingering chill in the air was cleansed away, even the streetlights took on a warm golden hue.

This miraculous scene was witnessed by Lu Yuliang, who had just reached the stairs.

He suddenly stopped, his mind blank, his pupils dilating in shock.

In all his life, he had never seen such an extraordinary phenomenon, leaving him utterly amazed, murmuring instinctively, "This... this is simply a miracle!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

"The Yin energy has disappeared."

The chilling aura once clearly felt lurking in the wardrobe corner vanished without a trace, the faint coldness in the air melted away by the streetlamp’s cool light outside the door.

Lu Xuan did not investigate further; instead, he instinctively focused his attention on the system panel that suddenly lit up in his mind.

Host: Red Dust Immortal Lu Xuan (Fifth Life)

Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Valleys Returning Flow Fist 5/9 (Available for Deduction)

Points: 4590

Please confirm if you wish to consume 4500 system points to deduce Ten Thousand Valleys Returning Flow Fist.

The light blue panel hovered in his mind. Lu Xuan glanced over the deduction prompt, and his fingertip gently touched the void.

"Deduce!"

With the thought, the points on the panel rapidly decreased, 4500 points turned into fleeting light, leaving only 90 quietly in the value column.

There was no earth-shattering phenomenon, just a mysterious golden light flickered across the panel, the number after Ten Thousand Valleys Returning Flow Fist quietly updating, finally settling at "6/9."

Host: Red Dust Immortal Lu Xuan (Fifth Life)

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, making a fist softly at his side, only to feel the flow of vital energy and blood more smoothly than before, his fist intent embodying a grander and more inclusive force.

With the breakthrough in Ten Thousand Valleys Returning Flow Fist, his joints, once stiff due to his ninety years of age, emitted slight "click" sounds, as if rusted parts had been relubricated.

At this moment, Lu Xuan looked down at his own hand; the protruding veins on the back of his hand gradually smoothed, the loose skin gained some tautness, even the age spots in his palm had faded significantly.

This aging body is rejuvenating at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually settling into the state of a sixty-year-old, with newfound strength coursing through its muscles and bones.

He quietly clenched his fist, and instead of the previous helplessness, he could distinctly feel the firm contraction of his muscles.

"Finally, I don’t have to be so constrained anymore." Lu Xuan muttered to himself. Previously, he had to consider the joint endurance when throwing punches due to the aging of his body. Now, his body is robust enough to sustain prolonged battles ahead.

The glow from the system panel in his mind faded completely, as Lu Xuan glanced at the "Ten Thousand Valleys Returning Flow Fist 6/9" line and then eyed the direction of the wardrobe.

Although the Yin energy has dispersed, should there truly be any anomaly, his current state is enough to handle the upcoming uncertainties.

The next moment, hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor, and Lu Xuan calmly retracted his Qi, placing his hands behind his back, appearing no different from an ordinary elderly.

Lu Yuliang stumbled upstairs, his chest felt as though it was congested with a burning bundle of cotton, nearly toppling over the stairway.

Sixty-year-old bones were no longer as sturdy as they used to be in his youth; this frantic run truly took its toll on him.

"Dad, are you... alright?"

He steadied himself by holding onto the doorframe of dorm 506, the flashlight in his hand trembling slightly, casting fragmented shadows on the floor.

"I’m fine, Yuliang. You said you were in charge of this murder case back then, so these things, you should be familiar with, right?"

Lu Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind him, never turning around, his gaze sombre and fixed on the ground.

Three black talisman papers torn neatly in half lay silently on the floor, firmly pressed under a sharply edged stone.

The wind was strong, and he had purposely placed this stone to prevent the talismans from being blown away.

"Dad, what’s this?"

Lu Yuliang followed Lu Xuan’s gaze, hurriedly directing the flashlight’s beam towards the stone, and instantly the black-background red-lettered talisman papers caught his eye, the colors unnerving.

The symbols on the paper were crooked and twisted, like ghostly scribbles, something he had never seen in sixty years, forcing him to frown and shake his head: "These characters... I can’t recognize any."

"Yes, they’ve been here for years."

Lu Xuan turned his head towards him, with an unfathomable depth hidden in his gaze, his tone deliberately slowed as a reminder.

"These talisman papers are not randomly placed—they’re suppressing something that shouldn’t be allowed to come out, have been for a long time."

"Suppressing something? Using these talisman papers?"

Lu Yuliang’s eyes widened with shock, his pupils filled with astonishment. His already tense face instantly hardened, his mouth forming a rigid line.

Even the most oblivious person should understand what the combination of these two things implies.

These are absolutely not ordinary; clearly tied to those supernatural tales recorded in books.

Suddenly, a memory struck Lu Yuliang from twenty years ago—a series of strange occurrences indeed followed the murder case half a month later.

He distinctly remembered back then, someone reported that students below the fourth floor of this building frequently complained.

At night, they could hear odd sounds coming from above the fifth floor, not footsteps but something dragging through the hallway, sticky and unsettling.

But this bizarre phenomenon didn’t last for more than two days, disappearing as if it never existed.

At that time, besides himself having the authority to approve entry onto the fifth floor of the entire building, only one other person had free access—his old superior, then director of Yingnan City’s Guard Bureau.

Lu Yuliang’s heart skipped: Could it be these black talisman papers were posted on the fifth floor back then?

Did his old superior keep something from him all those years?

The more Lu Yuliang thought, the heavier his heart became, but he slowly suppressed the ensuing panic. Looking up at Lu Xuan, his gaze now held unprecedented resolve—this was the first time he showed such expression in front of his father.

"Dad, help me!" His voice tightened. "The murder case of those three girls is a regret I’ll carry for life. If I could solve the truth, they could rest in peace."

"Yes, let’s go."

After Lu Yuliang finished his plea, Lu Xuan already took the first step forward.

He had his plans—actually, Lu Xuan was more eager than anyone to find the person who drew the talismans back then.

After all, someone who could create such talisman papers to suppress evil spirits definitely knew more about the whereabouts of these "ghost things."

And this, was crucial for him to acquire system points.
