Chapter 2718: Seeing The Shangsan Festival

Just what was this power? The saber was somehow connected to Lu Yin’s own blood. Did that mean that he really had been sliced eighty-one times? However, there was not a single wound on his body.

Lu Yin could not understand what had happened. He stared at the small saber in his hand and felt a chill come over his heart.

It was possible that he was not supposed to be where he was, and the fact that his attacker had been able to leave him so incredibly helpless meant that they had definitely seen through him. The Lost Clan was no longer a safe place for him.

However, it was also impossible to leave at this point in time.

Lu Yin felt very uneasy as he held the saber. He sat back down and looked up at the moonlight. He took a deep breath. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Forget it, I’ll just wait. If such a powerful person wants to attack me, I’ll never be able to escape, anyways.

With a wry smile, he looked back down at the saber in his hand. He did not place it in his cosmic ring, but instead hung it around his neck. There might be a day when he would be able to use the saber to attack others eighty-one times.

Time passed, but Lu Yin remained where he was, avoiding Snack Sage and seeing if there was any chance of meeting the mysterious powerhouse who had attacked him.

The person had never revealed themselves in any way, yet had slashed Lu Yin eighty-one times. Lu Yin had taken the saber, but had absolutely no idea what it was supposed to be used for.

Finally, the Shangsan Festival began.

The Shangsan Festival is the Lost Clan’s biggest festival, and everyone from the Lost Clan celebrated.

Even on the floating island, Lu Yin was able to feel the festive atmosphere.

There were various islands floating around the area, housing everyone who was participating in the Shangsan Festival’s card exchange. Given the number of islands, it was possible to imagine just how many people from the Lost Clan were present.

The largest floating island was at the center of everything, and it was where the cards would be exchanged.

On the day of the card exchange, all the Lost Clan’s cards would be drawn to this location, and so long as a person was able to do so, they would be allowed to change their card.

The members of the Lost Clan had their own process to prepare for the Shangsan Festival, and when they finished all of their preparations and it was finally time to exchange cards, there was truly only half a day remaining of the Shangsan Festival.

Everyone stared at the central island and waited.

At this same time, more and more people started appearing outside floating island, and each of them gave off an incredible amount of pressure. Every last one of these people was a peak powerhouse.

Everyone in the Lost Clan looked at these figures with expressions of deep respect.

The Shangsan Festival was the Lost Clan’s most important festival, and on this day, powerhouses from all parts of the Sixverse Association would come to watch. They not only attended to celebrate the Shangsan Festival and give the Lost Clan a show of respect, but also to see who was capable of changing their card. The biggest reason for this was that one person had once traded a Seasonal card for an Immemorial card. That event had shocked the entire Sixverse Association, as it was practically an announcement that the person would one day become a peak powerhouse. That was something that drew attention from the entire Sixverse Association.

"Sage Jiang, it’s been a long time," someone politely greeted the Sage.

Sage Jiang smiled and replied, "Bureau Director Gan, it’s been thousands of years since we fought together on the Endless Frontier. I didn’t think I’d see you here."

Director Gan smiled. "True, though I still can't forget Sage Jiang's impressive display on the Endless Frontier."

"It was nothing impressive, and I’m simply lucky that I survived," Sage Jiang said with a bitter smile. He then looked to the other side, where Chen Le offered a bow from a distance.

"Greetings, Senior Sage Jiang."

Sage Jiang complimented the Monarch, "Congratulations. The Three Monarchs Universe has gained another powerhouse."

A short distance away, Xu Heng also spoke up, "Brother Chen, I wonder how my brother Xuan Qi has been doing while in your care?"

Chen Le looked over at Xu Heng and answered with a smile, "Thanks to Xuan Qi, our Three Monarchs Universe has discovered a number of spies. Truthfully, if it wasn’t for the fact that his cultivation is inadequate, I would already have given him the position of Bureau Director, haha."

Xu Heng smiled, as he was always happy to hear someone praise Xuan Qi.

Bureau Director Gan immediately complimented the older man, "Senior's disciple Xuan Qi is already quite impressive. Only Senior could train such an outstanding disciple."

Xu Wuwei’s eyebrows rose. "Don't be ridiculous; he isn’t my disciple. Right now, I have no disciples. I’m nothing more than that child’s guide."

Chen Le smiled. "Who isn’t aware that Xuan Qi learned Senior’s Spiral Domain? That technique has allowed him to quickly and easily capture spies, and he has done great things for humanity. Even if you are not on the battlefield, Senior, you have still performed a great service to humanity that is no less important than fighting on the battlefield.”

"Well said! Senior’s contribution is obvious for all to see," Sage Jiang also complimented the old man.

Xu Wuwei had a sudden headache. "All of you are so eager to praise Xuan Qi, but do any of you really know him?"

The man was reminded of the events of the Transcendent Universe, and how Bai Qian had managed to replace He Ran. While it appeared that Xuan Qi had not been at all involved in the matter, and had at most framed He Ran, that false accusation had not had any impact on the final outcome. The You family had attacked Lord Wei, yet Lord Wei had ultimately been victorious. Logically speaking, Bai Qian should not have been able to replace He Ran, yet that was exactly what had happened.

Xu Wuwei knew only a few of the details, and was not interested in learning more, mostly because Xuan Qi had not used the Voidforce Universe, and also because Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and Xu Wuji had stayed out of the entire matter. If not for that, Xu Wuwei would have gone after Xuan Qi long ago.

The brat had only used the influence of the Bureau to frame He Ran and force Lord Wei to reveal himself. While Xuan Qi had been personally involved in the matter, he had never gotten the Voidforce Universe involved.

Regardless, Xuan Qi was inseparable from the changes that had taken place in the Transcendent Universe. In the end, Bai Qian had been victorious, and He Ran had simply disappeared. There was no denying that, and Xu Wuwei was one of the few people who was aware that Xuan Qi had supported Bai Qian from the very beginning. However, what was the connection between Xuan Qi and He Ran's disappearance? The brat might not be able to erase his connection.

Just thinking of these matters gave Xu Wuwei a headache.

Bureau Director Gan replied, "This junior doesn't understand. I would like to ask Senior to explain this to me."

Xu Wuwei grew puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

Chen Le suddenly exclaimed, "It's starting!"

...

On the central floating island, the members of the Lost Clan pulled back one after another until the island was empty, save for the creatures who had always lived on the island.

Silence reigned everywhere.

Suddenly, an ancient voice broke the silence, echoing through the entire area, "Let the Shangsan Festival begin! Enter the island."

The moment the voice spoke, people started rushing to the central island from all of the surrounding islands, afraid that others would arrive first and they would lose their chance.

Lu Yin took a deep breath and dismissed all thoughts of the saber from his mind. He then took a step forward and started moving towards the central island.

As he moved forward, Snack Sage noticed him. "Xuan Qi, we’ll compete again tomorrow! I’ve already defeated everyone else, so let’s go again!"

Lu Yin did not even look over at the man, and instead stepped onto the central island and looked upwards. The forest was quiet for a great distance, and Lu Yin simply inhaled and enjoyed the fresh scent of nature.

One after another, people arrived on the island.

The floating island was very large, and there were hundreds of thousands of people participating in the Shangsan Festival when the outsiders and members of the Lost Clan were combined. Even so, humans only occupied a tiny portion of the island, and they were vastly outnumbered by the other races.

Cards could be attracted to anywhere on this island, as long as they were attracted to something or someone.

As for what might draw a card, that varied from person to person.

As Xu Wuji had mentioned, some people could attract cards by letting themselves go.

Within the forest, Lu Yin saw a man in front of him who was shouting loudly and animatedly, and he did not stop even after noticing Lu Yin’s attention, and instead merely blushed. As Lu Yin listened, he realized that the man was shouting his entire history, which he clearly regarded as a legendary story.

Then, far away, someone started singing.

Lu Yin had heard from Xu Wuji that singing was considered rather common, and it did not matter at all if the singer sounded good or not. Instead, it seemed that the worse the voice, the more likely the person was to attract a card.
