There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 333: 333, [The dog of dogs, the cheap of the cheap]

Within the Lost Forest, atop the wreckage of an altar.

Golden sunny light showered upon Lu Xun, his smile warm and comforting, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Such a smile could even captivate the normally stoic Ji Li and the now grown-up Lin Chan.

However, to Yin Tian, this smile sent shivers down his spine.

Despite being just a youngster, only at The Third Realm in his cultivation, he was more intimidating than the Great Cultivator in the Eight Realm he had just encountered!

Yin Tian knew what the consequences would be if Lu Xun truly said what he did.

Being of a pure nature, the Junior Priest probably wouldn’t do anything rash. After all, even though he possessed the same Blood Curse in his veins as us, he didn’t have the same penchant for killing.

However, the same couldn’t be said for the High Priest and Second Priest.

Perhaps in the end, anyone related to Yin Tian might suffer horrors.

“No, it might be even worse. The Second Priest might also get implicated,” Yin Tian thought to himself.

The reason he took on this mission was because of the Second Priest’s idea.

In that case, his own faction, the Yinling Clan, might be in trouble.

Lu Xun looked at the fluctuating expression on Yin Tian’s face and continued to smile.

He was naturally inclined to be this kind of person. To use a classic insult from many years ago, it would be: “If it isn’t on Baidu, it’s definitely on Sogou!”

The scoundrel had his plans and far-reaching schemes well in advance, having already turned Yin Tian into a pawn!

If he planned to deal with the foreign races, one person alone wasn’t enough.

The sooner the news about the foreign races was revealed, the better.

Although he was not a great philanthropist, the incident outside Lotus Village had made it clear to him: to protect the blissful world he lived in, he was willing to make a contribution whenever he could.

The issue was, Lu Xun himself held many secrets. When revealing the information about the foreign races, he needed a plausible excuse.

In short, he needed a scapegoat.

And Yin Tian was the perfect candidate.

Being a level-70 member of a powerful foreign race, he holds a high position within their ranks.

His status and identity were already well established.

Such an ‘outsider’, comparable to a cultivator in the Seventh Realm, would undoubtedly attract the attention of the native cultivators of the Heavenly Dust Continent.

As for the future, when they notice the Blood Pact on the bodies of other foreign races and fail to get any information, would they give it a second thought?

Maybe they would, but it didn’t matter.

Thinking logically, the problem couldn’t possibly lie with Lu Xun. Surely it was all Yin Tian’s fault!

Perhaps Yin Tian did not have a Blood Pact?

Or perhaps his Blood Pact had been rendered invalid?

Who knew!

By then, all these details would not matter.

No one would question Lu Xun who was already established as a contributor. There would be no reason to.

In the end, if it wasn’t Yin Tian who was saying it, who else could it have been? A ghost?

Was Lu Xun, perhaps, a prophet?

As for the foreign races, they would also think in similar lines, first pondering over what exactly went wrong with Yin Tian.

The key was, Lu Xun was currently just a Third Realm cultivator, not very powerful. This offered him an advantage, a perfect cover.

After all, he was only in the Third Realm and could hardly be expected to have some godlike abilities, could he?

Moreover, his status was extraordinarily high.

Above all, Lu Xun had already groomed the ground— the Monument of West State!

The two major Sword Sects believed that the Monument’s movements were influenced by Sword Mountain Elder.

This was the effects Lu Xun wanted to create — see, even the Sword Mountain Elder gave warning! The Elder also thought that there was something wrong with Yin Tian!

The combination of these effects made for a very persuasive argument!

The setup… had already begun!

Although Yin Tian did not know where Lu Xun got so much information, and he was unaware of the groundwork Lu Xun had laid in relation to the Monument, he knew that Lu Xun’s goal would definitely be achieved.

This would have a huge impact on the plans of the whole foreign race!

Throughout the process, Lu Xun never physically abused him. What he whipped was Yin Tian’s spirit…

At this moment, Yin Tian’s eyes were cold, his expression was manic, and his mouth let out a series of roars. He was writhing on the ground as if he wanted to tear Lu Xun apart.

He looked very much like a tied up dog.

Lu Xun flicked a finger and the Finger-tip Sword Qi flew out.

The Sword Qi pierced directly through Yin Tian’s chest, nailing him on the debris.

He walked over to Yin Tian’s dead body, kicked it in the lower abdomen, causing it to roll over a broken stone and fall hard on the ground below.

That’s right, Lu Xun did not plan to spare his dog’s life any longer.

Following the end of their conversation, Yin Tian’s death was inevitable.

Only a dead man can be pinned with the blame without giving you any worries.

Because a dead man cannot resist, he can only accept the blame.

Because a dead man cannot speak, he cannot argue.

“Don’t worry, even though you can no longer speak, I will speak well on your behalf.” Lu Xun calmly addressed the corpse below.

After all… I am not a devil!

Gongshu Pan didn’t have much to say about Lu Xun accusing the deceased.

Lu Xun was his junior uncle, an elder. Before he left the mountain, the master had instructed that matters outside the mountain should be handled according to Lu Xun’s plans.

What Gongshu Pan was most concerned about was whether his junior uncle had obtained any reliable information.

Like the identity of the other party, or why the other party attacked this place…

“Junior Uncle, did you find out anything?” Gongshu Pan asked seriously with his stern face.

“Well, this matter is quite serious. I shall report to the master after returning to the sect, and then discuss with the sect master and the other peak masters.” Lu Xun said solemnly.

Looking at Lu Xun frowning and appearing troubled, Gongshu Pan’s face also grew serious.

“Alright, shall we return to the sect first?” Gongshu Pan asked.

“Yes.” Lu Xun nodded.

At this time, Mao Nanbei wriggled out from Lin Chan’s embrace and jumped back onto Lu Xun’s shoulder.

She didn’t like the soft feeling of Lin Chan’s embrace, and even less the sinking feeling of Ji Li’s embrace.

It pricks her fragile heart.

She preferred the broad shoulders of her junior brother.

With that thought, for some reason, she remembered Lu Xun’s broad shoulders and back which were exposed when he was changing clothes in the cave.

The little black cat immediately shook its head, raised its small paws to massage its round face, and murmured in her heart:

“Mao Nanbei, stay clear-headed!!!”

In the end, everyone flew back on Gongshu Pan’s large flying magical treasure.

This flying magical treasure was actually a bamboo house with several rooms inside.

My goodness, a flying house…

Compared to the paper crane, surely this bamboo house is more comfortable.

Lu Xun found a room, went in and sat down, and began to organize his gains.

By killing Yin Tian, he gained a full 500,000 experience points.

This was because Yin Tian was seriously injured and his cultivation base was abolished; the rewards were reduced…

Normally, under such circumstances, there shouldn’t be such high rewards. Perhaps, it was also due to his relatively high status among the foreign races.

As for “Faction Contribution Points”, he also gained a full 500 points.

When destroying the altar, Lu Xun also gained credit and was rewarded with 500 contribution points and one random special attribute point.

Clearly, compared to the power of Gongshu Pan’s black flag, Lu Xun’s sword Qi really just grazed…

After Lu Xun claimed the rewards, he casually clicked on the extraction of the random attribute point without paying much attention to it.

As a result, a flash of light showed that he had drawn a pretty good special attribute:

[Endurance+1].

“I used to consider ‘Endurance’ simply as a defense-boosting attribute when I was young; as I grew up, I learned more,” Lu Xun said in his heart.

Alright, in “Heavenly Dust”, ‘Endurance’ indeed only increased defense. It could enhance his physique and the defense of “Pink Ink”, but it didn’t improve anything else significantly.

“Feh, I’m extraordinarily talented, I don’t need it.” The inactive braggart boasted.

Looking at his character panel, he was slightly surprised: “I didn’t expect that so soon, I already have 11 different special attributes…”

Of course, the most striking was his maxed out [Charisma 10].

Strictly speaking, Charisma 10 could provide bonuses to the tasks he planned to do next.

It allowed his words to naturally seem believable.

First impressions matter a lot. If someone has a good impression of you, they tend to accept what you say more willingly.

This was one of the reasons Lu Xun relied on to pin the blame on Yin Tian.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Xun opened the door, but did not see anyone.

Only when the corner of his robe was gently tugged did he notice the little black cat on the ground looking up at him.
