Chapter 409: 409, [Road · Assassin · Xun]

“Pat my little sister’s head, no worries all ahead.” Lu Xun was now in a good mood, having just patted Lu Yu’s head after having ‘slayed’ her.

His move was so quick that even Ye Sui’an didn’t get a clear view, let alone the ridiculous players around Lu Xiaoyu.

After leaving Frost Feather City, Lu Xun, sitting on a paper crane, asked Ye Sui’an, “Sui An, where do you plan to go next?”

He was preparing to send Sui’an away.

It was fine for Ye Sui’an to occasionally stay with him, but if he stayed for a long time, it would affect both their ‘Growth’.

“Not sure yet.” Answered Ye Sui’an.

He really didn’t know where to go next, nor did he know what to do next.

Looking at him, Lu Xun said, “I still have tasks assigned by the master to complete. Let’s part ways here.”

Using his master as an excuse was already a skill that Lu Xun had mastered.

This trick was learnt from Mao Nanbei, and she never got beaten up because of it. It was stable.

Upon hearing that Elder Lu was going to accomplish tasks assigned by his master, Ye Sui’an naturally wouldn’t push to stay.

At the moment, he said, “Elder Lu, I really don’t know where to go, do you have any suggestions?”

Lu Xun: “…”

Fuc*! How would I know, you’re the World Protagonist; wherever you go, you can shine and heat up, and the whole continent is your stage. Go wherever you damn like!

Of course, he couldn’t say that.

His face showed a meaningful smile that seemed a bit benevolent, and he gently said some ambiguously bullsh*t:

“Go where you’re needed.”

Hearing these words, Ye Sui’an pondered for a moment.

A few seconds later, he seemed to have thought of something and looked up, “Thanks for pointing out, Elder Lu, I got it!”

Lu Xun didn’t care what he understood. He was like a scumbag man in a hurry to ditch his girlfriend, and immediately said: “See you later!”

“Yes! Elder Lu! See you later!” Ye Sui’an said loudly.

After ditching Ye Sui’an, Lu Xun began to stroll around this area leisurely.

Since he didn’t know the exact location of this altar, he could only wander around aimlessly.

As long as I walk and watch more, I will eventually step on the altar and be sucked in.

Although the method was stupid, it worked.

After all, he was just a key that could open all the altars. He needed to find the door and lock it before he could insert it directly.

Fortunately, although Lu Xun didn’t have an exact impression, he had a general idea of the area, so it wouldn’t be like finding a needle in a haystack.

He estimated that one day’s time would be enough. If he was lucky, he might find the altar in the next moment!

Along the way, he also used his Divine Sense to sense the Spiritual Mark he had set on those two paper cranes.

He was not far from them now, so his perception was quite accurate.

“emm… Little Yu and Xiao Long Bao are still together, they have not separated.”

“But… why are they changing their direction frequently?”

“Oh! I get it, they probably just got the paper crane and are still excited. They must be flying around in the sky!” Lu Xun quickly figured out the answer.

He smiled slightly, feeling somewhat satisfied in his heart.

In the past, he rarely spent money on himself, and basically, he gave the best things within his capability to Lu Yu.

It had become a habit.

People are like this sometimes, seeing the people they care about being happy, they can be happier than her.

Lu Xun carried out a carpet search like this, and in his spare time, he also brushed the forum, so he wouldn’t feel bored.

Not only he was keeping an eye on the world events in the forum, but he was also watching the situation of the Demon Sect.

A large number of Demon Sect disciples and Demon Sect players had been sent out for support. Lu Xun’s Sword-Serving Child were also active somewhere and had no intention of returning to the Eastern Region at all.

“I wonder what they are doing now?” Naturally, what Lu Xun was thinking about were the people on the back mountain.

“I wonder if they are still on the back mountain, or have they come down already?”

He did not see any news related to the Demon Sect’s back mountain in the forum.

Lu Xun, who was maneuvering through the woods, quickly stopped, his eyes attracted by the scenery in front of him.

Looking at the beautiful view in front of him, he couldn’t help but murmur: “Mountains are connected, streams flow like mirrors.”

This was a short sentence he liked very much, and it aptly described the scenery he was looking at.

Mountains were connected to each other, forming an endless range.

The clear stream sounded like a mirror.

“Compared to Earth in the 22nd century, the Heavenly Dust Continent is much more beautiful.” remarked Lu Xun.

Because the scenery of the Heavenly Dust Continent was so good, many players love sightseeing and love running around the world, treating it as a vacation in the game.

This was also one of the reasons why ‘Heavenly Dust’ was addictive.

After all… traveling around the world in reality costs money.

And after the Foreign Invasion, this group of players was also the angriest group.

After all, some of the scenic spots they had yet to visit had been destroyed by the foreign race.

“This is our beautiful landscape, who let you spoil it?” such thoughts surged in Lu Xun’s heart.

As of now, he wasn’t yet a great cultivator and could only fly by controlling objects, incapable of flight by himself.

However, performing the Qinggong trick of walking on water was an easy feat for him.

He stepped onto the lake surface, and his whole figure remained firmly above the water.

This man in a black robe walked leisurely with his hands behind his back.

A longsword floated beside him, wherever he walked, the sword followed.

With each step Lu Xun took, slight ripples appeared on the lake surface. Upon closer inspection, it was quite a sight.

–– Walking on water.

Reaching the center of the lake, he paused.

Standing here, he could feel the flow of the water, the breath of the wind, the sense of being encased by mountains.

His heart felt inexplicably peaceful.

After lingering for a while, he moved forward again, murmuring,

“As long as I destroy the altar nearby, this beautiful landscape should not be violated and I could bring them here to enjoy nature in the future.”

The ‘them’ he referred to in his mind included Lu Yu, Ji Li, and others.

When he reached the other side of the lake, even Lu Xun’s shoes were not wet.

This place was a pebble beach. After looking around the ground, he found that there were quite a few stones suitable for skipping.

“They say, when you play stone skipping, after a stone bounces on the surface of the water for a specific number of times, to achieve further progress, the strength required may exceed the capability of an ordinary person.” Lu Xun forgot the exact number and didn’t know if this piece of knowledge was accurate.

Looking at the stones on the ground, he didn’t have much interest at the moment.

“I’ll save it for a competition with them next time.” thought Lu Xun.

He continued on his way. Roughly half an hour later, he suddenly disappeared on a small hill.

Without any warning!

–– The altar of the foreign race was actually here!

Every time the altar spotted him, it would instantly absorb him, without even greeting him first.

Fortunately, Lu Xun was quick to react and wrapped ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ in a cloud generated by sword intent, causing ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ to be sucked in along with him.

Although he could bring people and objects into the altar with this move, those brought inside would be targeted once by the altar’s rules.

Just like previously when he brought Mo Guanji and others into the altar, they directly lost a life.

However, ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ came out completely unscathed, and even seemed to feel… a bit ticklish.

The moment Lu Xun arrived at the altar, he sensed the presence of the foreign race.

He was mentally prepared and thus not surprised.

But the foreign races within the altar were utterly baffled!

There are outsiders here!

How did he get in?!

They were originally sitting in front of the three-eyed statue, but now they all rose one after another, turning around to look at Lu Xun and ‘The Sword Qi is Near’.

“There’s quite a crowd here, isn’t there?” Lu Xun said with a laugh.

He felt like a hero who had breached countless barriers and finally arrived at the last challenge; upon entering, a group of demon lords rose together and stared at him intently.

In fact, due to some reasons, the foreign race couldn’t accommodate a large number of creatures in the altar, which was why they were directly teleported to the exterior of the altar during their descent, performing a mass resurrection show for the Heavenly Dust Continent.

Lu Xun predicted that there would be scattered remnants of the foreign race here even if he won. They would probably choose to stay inside the altar if they were relatively strong.

It turned out to be exactly as he presumed.

At this moment, there were exactly 10 high-level foreign creatures in this altar, no more, no less.

They were male and female, old and young.

Some were ugly, others were beautiful.

But in Lu Xun’s eyes, they all looked the same.

–– They were all going to turn to ashes soon anyway.

The formidable ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ emanated an immense pressure, making them hesitant to act rashly.

Looking at them, Lu Xun couldn’t help but think of the ghosts he had dealt with outside Frost Feather City.

Although the formation of so many ghosts might have been manipulated by the foreign race, how many people in Frost Feather City had to die for so much ghost qi to be produced?

With a tap on the sword sheath, the ‘Superior Ghost Pearl’ flew out.

He held the pearl in the palm of his hand.

At this moment, Lu Xun suddenly felt that this ghost pearl, which had exploded from the Ghost King, carried some significance.

“Your reward, I’ve already received it.” He murmured.

So, it was time to wipe them all out.
