Chapter 313: 313, Child, Do You Have Many Questions?

The sound of the suona resonated brightly, echoing through the village,

Its notes carried a sword intent, encircling the village.

The low-ranking foreign races were pierced through one by one by the sword qi, with expressions of terror, astonishment, or despair on their faces before their death…

They couldn’t understand why this was happening to them.

Bodies lay on the ground, their blood seeping into the land. If you looked from above, it was as if there were eighteen blood-red lotuses blooming outside Lotus Village.

And their cause of death was all the same, each of their chests had been pierced through by the sword qi…

leaving a huge hole.

Under the tree, Ah Bao put down the suona in his hands, looking over at Lu Xun with slight nervousness.

His playing just now was subpar — worse than his daily performances in front of his father.

After all, an Immortal was in front of him, and he was filled with awe.

At this moment, Lu Xun also lowered his fingers, which had been twirling in the air following the rhythm of the music.

He gently patted Ah Bao’s head, and said, “Go inside, your mother should be waking up soon.”

“Okay,” Before he entered the house, he bowed to Lu Xun, a gesture he had picked up from who knows where.

Lu Xun sat there, calmly accepting Ah Bao’s salute.

When the boy walked into the house, Lu Xun no longer sat under the tree, instead, he walked towards the three women sitting not far away.

“Little Junior Brother, have they all been killed?” Mao Nanbei asked, looking at the approaching Lu Xun, and sounding somewhat dumbfounded.

After all, she was a sixth realm demon, that held high distinction throughout the Heavenly Dust Continent.

Her divine sense had a wide range, naturally, she knew that Lu Xun had killed quite a few people while he was listening to the music.

Exactly eighteen of them!

But her divine sense could not distinguish their identities if these foreign races did not use the energy inside them.

Lu Xun looked at her and replied, “Yes, they were all associates of that guy.”

Mao Nanbei didn’t ask any further upon hearing this.

She believed whatever Lu Xun said.

Little Junior Brother said they were accomplices, then they definitely were!

Moreover, the fact that a strange aura emanated from them after their deaths proved this point.

On the Heavenly Dust Continent, whether cultivators were from the Righteous Sects or the Demonic Way, their cultivation base would return to the world upon their death.

For instance, although individuals from the Demon Sect practiced the Qi Consumption Technique and absorbed nature’s spiritual energy into themselves, forming their own small world, upon their death, all of that too would return to the world.

But these people were strange.

The aura they emanated after death seemed to be rejected by this world!

This aura was forcibly dispersed by the world’s spiritual energy!

This phenomenon hinted at something odd.

This indirectly indicated that Lu Xun was not wrong; indeed, they were accomplices. They were all of the same kind.

Ji Li and Lin Chan didn’t quite understand the situation after listening to the conversation between Mao Nanbei and Lu Xun.

They only saw Lu Xun’s fingers twirling in the air in time with the rhythm and didn’t sense him killing anyone.

This was the difference in their realms.

Now that they understood, they felt it was impressive.

“Lu Xun is so powerful!” Ji Li thought to herself.

“Master is so powerful!” Lin Chan thought to herself.

After exterminating those foreign races, Lu Xun also gained nearly 300,000 experience points and 87 faction contribution points.

He had obtained 5,000 contribution points from destroying the half-completed altar and another 100 from killing Bai Beiqiu. Now added together, he had 5,187 points.

Unfortunately, since the foreign races had not yet arrived in large numbers, the storyline of the game had not progressed, resulting in the contribution points having nowhere to be spent temporarily.

After all this, it was time to destroy the altar.

After these incidents, Lu Xun felt that it should, this time, be unlikely to encounter anyone else in the altar, right?

There should be no foreign races nearby for the time being, otherwise, they should have been attracted by the two battles.

Of course, it was also possible that these battles alerted them and caused them to hide in the shadows.

But luckily, the young girl had already advanced to the sixth realm, which gave Lu Xun a great sense of security.

I’ve got a cat watching my back!

What should I be scared of!

You should know, Mao Nanbei was not an ordinary cultivator, her sixth realm, compared to that of others, was different.

Unless they encountered foreign races above level 70, even if they couldn’t beat them, she could definitely ensure their safety.

Would there be any foreign races above level 70 here?

Unlikely.

For a simple reason, the foreign races that arrived early were here to build altars. They acted as scouts for the main force, while also setting up a forward position for the main force to teleport to.

The tactics of the foreign races were also pretty clear cut. They would send underlings to the territories of major sects in order to avoid attracting attention.

Those above level 70 were definitely big shots. Even One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain would take them seriously.

Having someone like this show up in the West State would be too conspicuous.

And actually trying to evade the scrutiny of the Eighth Realm colossuses within the Great Sects is no easy task.

Therefore, it’s best to let the small fries handle it.

Even if they die, it’s no big deal.

Only in areas like Three Thousand Mountains where there is a lack of strong players would higher-ranking ones be dispatched.

Because if you have a high rank, the weaklings in this area won’t be able to sense your presence, letting you operate quietly and safely.

This line of thought doesn’t have any flaws.

Such an arrangement is undoubtedly the safest and most efficient.

And it provided Lu Xun a convenience.

In his memory, there were several locations of the altar. The reason he chose West State, besides its proximity, was also due to its safety.

Now, let’s go!

Of course, before heading to the altar, Lu Xun needed to dispose of the body outside the village.

Otherwise, he might scare the innocent inhabitants of Lotus Village.

Also, this way he could avoid potential subsequent hassles.

The altar outside of Lotus Village is hidden in a small lake.

Lu Xun was planning to bring Mao Nanbei along for a dip, turning it into a playful romp in the water.

He wasn’t planning to take Mao Nanbei into the altar, because… they couldn’t get in!

He had previously obtained the key to the altar entrance in Three Thousand Mountain through Tianque Gate, but he had no key for this altar.

He wasn’t sure how the players managed to enter this altar in the past, as he hadn’t seen detailed records on the forum, or perhaps he had missed them, and hadn’t browsed them.

But that didn’t matter.

He didn’t really intend to go in there anyway, just planning to bum in the outskirts.

Either way, the altar was located under a lake, at a fixed position.

To destroy the altar, he didn’t necessarily need to go in.

He could just detonate bombs from the outside, explosively shaking the entire region, incidentally blowing up the altar too, that would work, wouldn’t it?

That’s the style of a nuclear bomb-wielding Sword Immortal!

Performing a range bombardment with his current power would indeed be difficult for him.

If he lets Mao Nanbei do the work, it might affect the final rewards.

Fortunately, there was plenty of Sword Qi still in the sword sheath. The ammunition supply was ample, so there was no need to panic.

Bringing Mao Nanbei along was mainly for safety.

So what are we waiting for?

Blast it!

As for how to convince Mao Nanbei to go into the water, it was actually easy.

Two desserts, and she agreed to work for him.

Add two more, and her little mouth was shut with no questions asked.

Good girl, men prefer the tight-lipped type like you.

“Fourth Senior Sister, let’s go,” Lu Xun said to Mao Nanbei.

Mao Nanbei first took off her shoes, revealing her adorable little feet.

Then, she jumped, her hands curling around Lu Xun’s neck, hanging on him like a pendant.

“Little Junior Brother, charge!” Mao Nanbei said.

Then, with a dash from Lu Xun, carrying her, they both leaped into the lake.

Mao Nanbei gave a little wave of her hand, and the spiritual power enveloped the two, segregating them from the water flow.

She didn’t want to get wet and dirty.

Lu Xun:

Why did you remove your shoes just now?

But indeed, without the disturbance of the water flow, it would be easier to get things done.

Under the propelling force of the spiritual energy, they quickly reached the bottom of the lake.

The moment they hit the lake’s floor, Lu Xun sensed the aura of the altar!

“It seems, even if the altar has a barrier blocking its aura, as long as I’m close enough, I can still sense it instantly!” Lu Xun concluded in his heart.

At the same time, the altar also sensed Lu Xun’s presence.

Eh, one of us?

With a flash of light, Lu Xun was caught off guard.

He was actually teleported into the interior of the altar!

Leaving Mao Nanbei alone outside the altar.

Mao Nanbei: “???”

Where did my big Little Junior Brother go!?
