Chapter 328: [Okay, then I’ll give you an explanation]
In the sky above the Lost Forest, an Elder from One Sword Mountain was always entangled in battle with Yin Tian.
Yin Tian wanted to escape from the predicament and find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the immobilized Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei. But he failed to achieve his purpose.
After being wounded by the mysterious black fire, he was seriously injured.
Obviously, the Elder from One Sword Mountain was not to be trifled with.
If it was in the past, Yin Tian wouldn’t be afraid of him, but today is different. If this continues, he might get counter-killed!
“Just a bit more, just a bit more.” On Yin Tian’s sickly pale face, there was a hint of madness.
His scythe, in response to the longsword, suddenly made a strange arc.
The longsword directly stabbed into his left shoulder, cutting off half of it with the Sword Qi, while the scythe in his left hand flew out at a very high speed, slashing towards Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei on the ground.
Having lost one hand and one eye, Yin Tian wore a smile on his face. First, a faint smile, which gradually became louder, growing into the laughter of a madman.
The scythe tore through space and arrived instantly.
The Elder of the One Sword Mountain had no time to stop it.
The Elder’s expression was complex, but it quickly returned to calmness.
Because in this very moment, he sensed the aura of a sword.
An unrivaled sword!
“Whoosh”
It was like a piece of rice paper being cut.
Just as Yin Tian’s strange scythe was about to touch Lu Xun, it was cut in half.
A simple, ancient sword with a small notch in its blade had easily destroyed the scythe.
This was Ping Shanhai’s[Divine Sword].
The man had not arrived, but the sword had arrived first.
It’s easy to imagine Yin Tian’s smile gradually solidifying in the wind.
Which foreign race slang he was cursing in his heart, only he knew.
The[Divine Sword], after destroying his weapon, quickly soared into the air and attacked him.
Yin Tian decisively began to flee into the distance, without any hesitation at this moment.
If he could exchange a limit for a life, he ‘d opt to trade his life in order to fulfill his mission.
But now, if he doesn’t flee, it’d be equivalent to suicide, so what’s he waiting for?
He immediately fled in the southwest direction, with the[Divine Sword]following closely behind, pressing step by step.
It wasn’t long before Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi arrived at that place.
They first arrived near the Boundary Monument, checked the condition of the monument, then disappeared and appeared next to the seriously injured Lu Xun.
Ping Shanhai looked grave and took out a Spirit Pill from his storage ring and gave it to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun took the pill directly without ceremony.
The Spirit Pill quickly dissolved in his mouth and began to nourish his body.
Before Ping Shanhai’s arrival, Lu Xun had discreetly used the green pearl to heal his injuries and nourish Mao Nanbei’s body.
Curiously, Mao Nanbei was still in the shape of a black cat. It seemed weak but wasn’t significantly injured.
Perhaps her main problem lay elsewhere.
Lu Xun, who was in a better physical state, slowly got up and wrapped the little black cat tightly in his cloak, holding her close to his chest.
He didn’t speak, he was waiting for a result.
He was waiting for the[Divine Sword]to slay that member of the Foreign Race.
Or…Another possibility.
As time went by, Ping Shanhai’s face suddenly turned sour.
“Did he disappear?” Lu Xun asked.
Ping Shanhai nodded.
He commanded the[Divine Sword]to chase Yin Tian. In theory, with his strength, he should easily slay Yin Tian, even at his peak.
But strangely enough, Yin Tian disappeared after fleeing into the Lost Forest!
With his divine sense, he couldn’t perceive how Yin Tian disappeared, nor could he sense where he’d gone.
And looking at Lu Xun, it seemed like he saw this coming.
“No worries, he can’t run away.” Lu Xun’s tone was cool and flat.
He could guess how Yin Tian disappeared, and where he might be hiding.
Clearly, there was some sort of altar in the Lost Forest!
Lu Xun looked down at the little black cat in his arms and tightened his cloak around her, wrapping her securely. Then, he looked up at Ping Shanhai and said:
“Elder Brother Ping, can I ask a favor of you.”
“Go ahead,” said Ping Shanhai.
“I would like you to send a message with your flying sword for me. Use my name to inform the Demon Sect, asking them to send an elder or someone above that rank to this location,” Lu Xun said casually.
“Alright.” Ping Shanhai took out a communication flying sword from his storage ring and started to carry out Lu Xun’s instructions.
Lu Xun glanced in the southwest direction without saying a word.
Ever since he had crossed into this realm, he had always maintained a humble and polite image, his gaze calm and gentle.
But this time was different, there was a hint of coldness and cruelty in his eyes.
Holding Mao Nanbei, Lu Xun thought to himself: “I’ll let you live a little bit longer. Trust me, I will kill you with my own hands!”
Not long after, a multitude of sword lights streaked across the sky, and all the great cultivators from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain arrived at the Boundary Monument.
Lu Xun, carrying Mao Nanbei, followed Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi to the side of Dida, the Boundary Monument.
Lin Chan and Ji Li immediately came to meet them. Ji Li was about to speak, but Lu Xun shook his head, gesturing for her not to say anything.
Members of the two major sword sects carefully examined the state of the Boundary Monument, and then glanced at the foreign beast that had been smashed to death on the ground, not knowing what to say all of a sudden.
From the current situation, it seemed that Lu Xun and his comrades ran into trouble, and then the Boundary Monument of their sect mysteriously shot up into the sky and rushed here for the rescue?
What was that all about?
The Boundary Monument had stood for a thousand years without such a phenomenon.
The only time it moved, it was… for a foreigner?
The feeling was indescribable, eerie, and strange. It felt as if their Boundary Monument had been abducted!
After being silent for a moment, everyone started discussing and exchanging opinions.
There should be a solution, right?
But given the previous interactions between One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, the discussion might easily turn into an argument.
As expected, they started bickering soon after.
Lu Xun lowered his gaze and saw that the tiny black cat’s ears were twitching as if it were perturbed by the noise.
He quietly moved to a distant place with an indifferent demeanor, to avoid disturbing Mao Nanbei’s rest.
Everyone felt it was not very dignified to squabble, so Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi cast a sound isolation field to block the noise inside and outside. And then… they resumed arguing.
Lin Chan and Ji Li stood behind Lu Xun, staring at the terrifying wound on his back without saying a word.
Although the wound had scabbed over, it was a long gash. It must have been very painful, right?
They didn’t know if Mao Nanbei, who had lost his transformation, was injured.
“Don’t worry, there is nothing serious,” said Lu Xun calmly, turning around.
At this moment, Dida’s voice rang in Lu Xun’s heart.
The voice was still somewhat weak, but it was better than before.
“Lu Xun, they seem to be arguing because of me. Did… did I cause you trouble?” asked Dida, the Boundary Monument.
Lu Xun was slightly taken aback.
The two sects’ sound isolation spell clearly didn’t block Dida. It could hear everything clearly and could use telepathy to communicate with Lu Xun.
Hearing Dida’s words, Lu Xun’s rigid heart softened.
Silly Boundary Monument, what nonsense was it talking about!
He looked up at the Boundary Monument and said softly, “What are you thinking? You saved us.”
The two sword sects probably never dreamed that their sound isolation field not only didn’t work for Lu Xun but also prevented them from hearing what Lu Xun said to Dida…
“Alright!” Dida sounded somewhat happy, but not long after, it said again, “But… they still think you owe them an explanation.”
Hearing this, Lu Xun nodded slightly, not finding any problem.
The Boundary Monument was still a sacred item, after all. If a sacred item suddenly helped a foreigner kill enemies, just asking for an explanation was already considered polite.
After all, they didn’t owe Lu Xun anything. On the contrary, it was their Boundary Monument that saved him.
Oh, that’s wrong, they seem to owe him a favor. According to Ye Sui’an’s report, due to Lu Xun, the two Sword Sects gained another cultivator with an Innate Sword Body — definitely a big favor…
But an explanation was still required.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xun raised his head and said, “Dida, do as I tell you.”
“When you hear the word ‘Ancestor’, emit a blue light. Whenever they mention ‘Ancestor’ again, emit another blue light. If they mention ‘Ancestor’ a third time, let the light dim and gradually fade.”
Dida didn’t understand, but it obediently responded, “Alright!”
Then, it started to operate as Lu Xun had said.
