Translator: 549690339
Walking back to the inn, Lu Xun lightly tossed the money bag, thinking:
“I’ve come to this place of fireworks, got my money back after paying, is this what they call in a windfall in the vernacular?”
But on second thought, I have been generous enough not to take away all the blood-money this hard man has earned over the years.
“It’s late now, so I won’t go to the Tianque Gate to submit the task, I will take Mao Nanbei and Little Chan up the mountain early tomorrow morning,” Lu Xuan said to himself.
What bothers him a bit is that even though he killed this tough guy, he never triggered the wanted order task during the whole process, and he doesn’t know if there would be any unexpected developments afterward?
But on second thought, there should be no problem.
He must get that mysterious key, it would be of great use to him in the future!
When he returned to the inn, Lu Xun went straight to the kitchen.
As expected, Lin Chan’s porridge was ready and she had already served a bowl of hot porridge to Mao Nanbei. The reason she was still in the kitchen was to keep the porridge warm, so that the master would have a hot bite when he returned.
Seeing Lu Xun returning, Lin Chan quickly served him a bowl.
Lu Xun accepted with a smile.
He thought life these days was pretty good, too. He had several formidable alliances to rely on, and there was his precious disciple taking care of him. Life seemed easy.
The next day, Lu Xun went out of the city with Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan, heading to the Three Thousand Mountains area.
Along the way, he explained to Mao Nanbei the reason for going to the Tianque Gate, of course, he was just bluffing.
Deceiving little girls and whatnot, he was best at it.
“Little brother, did you just say that you went out for a stroll last night, by chance encountered a cultivator who sucks the yang energy from people and just happened to find the body of the Tianque Gate’s junior leader, so now you are going to claim the reward with her dead body?” Mao Nanbei asked after summing up Lu Xun’s words.
“That’s about right,” replied Lu Xun, indifferently.
Mao Nanbei didn’t think much of it, but was more curious, “Is the reward offered by this Tianque Gate that I’ve never heard of, generous?”
“It’s okay, a superior magical weapon,” replied Lu Xun.
“Ah? It’s just a magical weapon?” Mao Nanbei immediately lost interest.
The Three Thousand Mountains region was vast, but it didn’t really have three thousand mountains as its name revealed.
The mountain where the Tianque Gate was located was called the Great Empty Peak.
The Tianque Gate was not even considered a second-tier sect in the Heavenly Dust Continent, but the names of both the sect and the mountain were chosen well and sounded impressive.
What’s interesting is that there were many mountains in the Three Thousand Mountains that had the same names or similar sounds as some famous mountains on Earth, and no one knew whether it was because there were too many mountains in the Three Thousand Mountains or because of other reasons.
When the three of them arrived at the Tianque Gate, they directly flew to the gate on a paper crane.
The patrolling disciples of the Tianque Gate immediately stepped forward to question them.
The leader was a female cultivator, who was quite attractive, but unusually short
“Who’s there?” she called out loud.
Lu Xun, wearing a bamboo hat and not showing his true face, only made people more vigilant.
Just why… can’t I help but keep looking at him?
Why does he give such a thought-provoking feeling without showing his face?
I haven’t even seen his face, so why do I think he looks good!
Mao Nanbei found these processes tedious, originally just coming to take a magical weapon, yet she had to verify her identity, have the patrolling disciple go in to report, and only after the report could they see the sect leader, it was very time-consuming.
Mao Nanbei sat lazily on the paper crane, no longer hiding her cultivation base, and slight showed off her power.
The disciples who were patrolling the Tianque Gate started in fright.
Well, there was no need to report now. Forget the sect leader, even the Supreme Elder inside the Tianque Gate would probably get uneasy.
“Hahahaha! Who is the friend visiting? Sorry for the lack of welcome, ” came a full-spirited voice from the main hall inside the gate. Several streaks of light flashed by, and the Sect leader of the Tianque Gate, Mo Beipo, and three elders appeared.
Mo Beipo looked like a man in his prime, but he was very short, similar in some ways to the female disciple who led the patrols, probably a father-daughter duo.
They had no idea if the visitor was a friend or an enemy, but judging by the power he revealed just now, his realm isn’t low, and this made Mo Beipo and the elders apprehensive.
The combination of people in front of him was strange, the man leading them was wearing a bamboo hat and was mysterious, yet his cultivation base was only in the initial realm.
The young girl next to him hadn’t even reached the initial realm.
The cultivation base of the little girl next to him, on the contrary, was deep and unfathomable.
Ordinary disciples couldn’t sense anything, but they could feel that what pervaded from her body was monstrous demon energy!
A sky-high surge of demon energy!
Sitting on the paper crane, Mao Nanbei retracted her demon energy, and was about to speak when her mouth was covered by Lu Xun’s finger: “Uh!”
Lu Xun glanced at Mo Beipo and did not answer Mo Beipo’s question, instead, he went straight to the point: “I’m here this time to give the Tianque Gate a big surprise.”
“Myself?” Everyone present was confused.
The man wearing a straw hat is just an initial realm cultivator, but he calls himself ‘myself’?
This is completely unreasonable.
But no one came out to say anything.
It’s not like people are idiots, the fact this man was followed by a big demon meant he was someone extraordinary.
Let’s listen to what he has to say first.
Lu Xun looked at Mo Beipo, pulled out a storage ring, and then dumped the corpse directly from the paper crane.
The head of the corpse had already been separated from the body, and there was still a hint of terror on her face.
This corpse… was it a gift?
Wow! What an impressive gift!
Just come to someone’s compound and drop down a corpse as a big surprise, what kind of sick operation is this?
Lu Xun said, “Master Mo, take a good look, do you recognize her?”
Mo Beipo took another careful look and said, “I’ve never seen her before.”
Lu Xun:
His mouth twitched a bit. He thought, “Your murderer is lying in front of you, and you’ve fought her, but you don’t recognize her now?”
Do people change so much after being decapitated?
“This is the culprit you are currently hunting, Master Mo, you should verify it.” Lu Xun said lightly.
As soon as his words came out, everyone’s faces changed again.
Even the steady Mo Beipo began to wonder… was he some idle rich young man from a big sect messing with us, the Tianque Gate?
I know whether the person who killed my son is a man or a woman, don’t I?
He was supposed to be a middle-aged strong man with whiskers!
Look at her waist, look at her white skin, can this be the same person?
Even if the body and manners can change, this is a woman!
Even though Mo Beipo was normally calm, he felt sort of annoyed, after all, the man was joking about his late son!
“Who exactly are you?” Mo Beipo asked again.
Even though he had a if big demon beside him, the Three Thousand Mountains Alliance has always been of one mind, and they were not scared.
But the next words made Mo Beipo miss a beat.
Sitting on the paper crane, Lu Xun looked at him through the thin layer of the straw hat and said softly,
“Demon Sect, Lu Xun.”
These short four words carried infinite weight.
