Chapter 391: 391, 【Karma, oh, karma】

In the sky, a light boat crossed the horizon.

Lu Xun and Ye Sui’an sat on the Flying Magical Treasure–a light boat. From time to time, they could still see Flying Swords coming from afar, heading towards the Sword Tomb.

Among them, Ye Sui’an actually recognized some of the Flying Swords. They belonged to One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

This made him somewhat silent along the way, no longer the chatterbox he used to be.

Truthfully, Ye Sui’an didn’t talk much when he was in the sect normally. It’s only that every time he sees Lu Xun, he gets excited and can’t help but talk more.

Following Lu Xun’s instructions, Ye Sui’an steered the light boat towards the direction of the Boundary Monument at the border of the West State.

The two of them traveled from the southern part of the West State to the northern part, by the way to see the Boundary Monument, it doesn’t count as going out of the way.

Although he didn’t know why Elder Lu was going to inspect the Boundary Monument at this time, he obediently did so without asking any further questions.

Lu Xun was originally sitting there browsing the forum when suddenly a prompt popped up in front of him.

“[Ding! According to the positioning, you are currently within West State. The avatar of the Foreign Race key figure [Second Priest] is currently active within West State. Do you accept the task to find his traces?]”

Upon seeing the prompt, Lu Xun was momentarily stunned before choosing to accept the task.

This task, if things proceed as expected, should be triggered by all players within the territory of West State.

“It’s the Second Priest again, once again on the same path as the enemy. It’s a pity it’s his avatar in West State, and not his real body,” Lu Xun thought to himself.

He knew that the Foreign Race [High Priest] had at least two avatars because players had seen at least two.

And the [Second Priest] should only have one avatar. Otherwise, after his avatar was exterminated in his previous life, it won’t be his main body running around on the Heavenly Dust Continent.

Lu Xun was interested in this Foreign Race [Avatar Secret Skill], thinking that it was quite interesting.

If he had had an avatar when he was on Earth, it would have been pretty cool. He could get it to do all sorts of things for him, for example…going to school and doing homework for him.

After accepting the task, Lu Xun checked the task details.

Since this is a mass task within a certain area, the task content for everyone is the same.

The task was to find traces of the Second Priest’s avatar and then report his intelligence to any elder level or above officials of the seven Great Sects.

It was just a task to search for information.

After all, with the current strength of the complaining players, even if they swarmed in using a Sea of People strategy, they would probably not be enough for the Second Priest to kill.

When the disparity in strength reaches a certain extent, victory cannot be achieved simply by relying on numbers.

Because if they can’t even penetrate the defense, then no effective output can be produced, and the opponent won’t lose any blood.

Besides, with the Second Priest’s strength, he probably could kill a large number of players just by moving his finger.

Isn’t this just like sheep entering a tiger’s mouth and delivering food to them?

After reading the task details, Lu Xun found it a little bit interesting.

“This task, to other players, is divided into two halves. But for me, it’s much simpler and direct,” he thought.

“Even if other players have the information, they would still have to rush to find the officials of the seven Great Sects to report, in order to submit the task.”

“But I’m different…I’m the high-ranking official of the Demon Sect!”

He submits the task to himself. After all, who can he blame for being both an NPC and having player functions?

“The task rewards are 300,000 experience points, as well as 1,000 Sect Reputation Value, and there is a chance to get NPC Favorability. To me, the allure is just so-so,” thought Lu Xun.

Due to his special nature, he didn’t lack these things.

Out of these three rewards, what was worth the most to him was actually the Sect Reputation Value.

His Demon Sect Reputation Value is now as high as 48,121 points, and it is becoming more difficult to progress further.

In the beginning, when he just joined the sect, he could earn a lot of reputation value just by showing his face in public thanks to his good looks.

Now, even if he drags Ye Sui’an back to the Demon Sect and publicly beats this Sword Dao genius, his reputation value probably wouldn’t increase by much.

Maybe… showing off his abs would earn him more reputation than hitting him?

“When the Reputation Value reaches 50,000 points, you can submit another Prestige Value Task and get 1 Random Special Attribute Point.”

“Looking at it this way, this task is somewhat useful.”

“But where do I start looking in such a large West State?”

Frankly speaking, this kind of task depended on who was lucky enough to happen upon the avatar of the Second Priest.

If they were to actually go searching, it wouldn’t be that easy without any clues to deduce and analyze.

“Destroying The Altars seems to be a more reliable option,” Lu Xun thought.

Of course, if a player posts the whereabouts of the Second Priest on the forum after submitting the task, he doesn’t mind going out of his way specifically to mess with the Second Priest.

If conditions allow, it would be best to exterminate this avatar of his!

With [The Sword Qi is Near] by his side, he rounded up to being equivalent to the Senior Brother who does not use swords before the closed-door training!

He had plenty of confidence!

As for whether he would have the chance to encounter the avatar of the Second Priest, he didn’t give it much thought. If that were to happen, it would indeed be an ill-fated encounter.

“I’m not his fated rival,” Lu Xun grumbled in his heart.

…

…

On the edge of West State, in front of the Boundary Monument.

Despite the calamity that had befallen the Heavenly Dust Continent, there were still quite a few sword cultivators sitting in front of the Boundary Monument.

Previously, many people came here either to admire the sights or to try their luck. But now, most were here to find tranquility.

After battling the foreign race, many cultivators felt their hearts were unsettled.

Those who were close to the Boundary Monument chose to meditate here, not for enlightenment, but to stabilize their Sword Heart.

The large Boundary Monument stood there, the four characters “Eternal Glory of Swordsmanship” were particularly striking. Seeing these four characters, the hearts of many sword cultivators held a mix of emotions.

But sitting in front of the Boundary Monument, they couldn’t help but straighten their backs anyway.

A few miles away from the Boundary Monument of West State, there was a small mountain.

On the top of the small mountain, a middle-aged man surrounded by a dark red cloak was looking out at the Boundary Monument of West State.

His eyebrows were thick and dark, forming a single, straight line.

His eyes were not large, but his pupils were deep and dark.

He habitually kept his hands behind him, lightly twirling his thumb on his pointer finger.

This was a habit he had developed over many years in his main body and was not something he could easily change.

—— He enjoyed twirling his Red Jade Ring on his finger with his thumb.

Only this was just one of his avatars, and this avatar didn’t have the Red Jade Ring.

Oh, he almost forgot, the main body no longer had it either.

The Red Jade Ring that had accompanied him for many years was destroyed. The Soul Devouring Flame, the foreign race artifact he was proud of, was also destroyed by the Sword of Ages!

The middle-aged man looked at the Boundary Monument of West State with slightly noted lips, his breath pausing for a moment.

“As I hypothesized, this location of the Boundary Monument is where the breath of West State converges and is key to the Dragon Vein of West State.”

“Oh, I almost forgot. The sword cultivators of West State prefer to call it ‘Sword Fate’.”

As he looked at the monument, his eyes held a shadow of malice.

If not for this monument, Lu Xun would have died when Yin Tian struck that blow.

“My arrangements in West State and the Eastern Region began here, and this is also where the deviations occurred.”

“It’s precisely because that kid managed to survive, along with some complications with Yin Tian’s Blood Pact, that the cultivators of Heavenly Dust Continent have become alert to us!”

Although it’s not as serious as one mistake leading to total failure, it still has had a huge impact.

Even his Soul Devouring Flame was destroyed!

Even You Ying, who served as his right-hand, lost his life because of this!

“Lu Xun… Lu Xun!” The Second Priest felt a splitting headache and an upsurge of killing intent whenever he thought of this name.

He never would have imagined that the one to disrupt his plans would be a youth cultivator, a mere cultivator of the Third Realm!

Had it been any other time, he could have easily killed a wave of these realm cultivators with just a wave of his hand!

He was nothing more than a noble ant!

He set a trap for Lu Xun, even sending out an expert like Yin Tian to deal with him. He initially thought it was overkill, but unexpectedly, this ant fought back.

What he thought was just a temporary setback, turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare!

This Lu Xun was like the most serious unknown factor in the entire foreign race scheme, and every move he made seemed to target him explicitly!

All of the things that have gone wrong… were his good intentions…

The Second Priest looked at the Boundary Monument from afar and said, “This variable must be eliminated, but before eliminating him, let’s start with you.”

Ever since the Boundary Monument flew up and killed that foreign beast, all things began with it. So, everything will end with it too!

Moreover, destroying this place was one of the purposes of his trip. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

He raised his head and glanced through his own eyes. A dark red light converged between his eyes.

At this moment, as he looked at the Boundary Monument, he could see the surging green energy emitted from the monument!

The Second Priest waved his right hand, a golden light flickered on his hand. Then, his palm clenched something tightly.

From a distance, it looked remarkably like a scepter.

(PS: The first update today, there will be three updates to make up for yesterday’s post.

Also, it’s been a while since I killed another novel in tribute. Today I’m recommending a One Piece fan fiction by… Nan Tingting. Yes, it’s a novel by Nan Tingting. The title is “One Piece: God of Wine System”, feel free to check it out if you’re interested.)
