Chapter 373: 372, [Running Away, The Sword Qi is Near] (Request for Votes)
You Ying’s death had made this area completely safe.
The surrounding barriers and restrictions were all shattered by the “The Sword Qi is Near,” making this place free to come and go without interruption.
Cai Jiangjiang and others, who were still obsessed with finding an exit, received a task prompt —— Task failed.
Feeling vexed and dejected, they quickly headed towards Elder Lu on the altar.
Upon reaching the altar, they immediately saw the Sword of the Ages “The Sword Qi is Near” floating beside Lu Xun!
What are they waiting for?
Record it!
Lu Xun glanced at them and waved his hand, saying, “All of you leave this area and wait outside.”
Although Cai Jiangjiang and others were somewhat reluctant, they had managed to record a video related to “The Sword Qi is Near.” This is something they could boast about on the forum, it is an unexpected delight.
And so, they obediently left the altar area.
I’ll do as the Purple Palace tells me.jpg.
After the Sword-Serving Children left the area, Lu Xun turned his head to look at Jiang Nan’an beside him.
Seeing Elder Lu looking at him, Jiang Nan’an instinctively straightened his back.
He now only feels admiration for Lu Xun. Seeing him summon “The Sword Qi is Near” and easily annihilate the strange flames and the mysterious man, he was completely convinced.
Everything that just happened was outrageously strong, far beyond his imagination.
— I am nowhere near Elder Lu.
Lu Xun had a good impression of this child of destiny and began to speak calmly: “Nan’an, you should also leave this place first. Remember to call the Disciples of Qingtian Sect scattered around the altar to leave and keep them away from here.”
“Alright.” Jiang Nan’an agreed immediately without asking any further questions.
Although he doesn’t know what Elder Lu is going to do next, it must have a profound meaning, and I’ll just follow his instructions.
Well, another one with flawed thinking…
After following Lu Xun’s instructions, Jiang Nan’an began picking up the Magical Weapons scattered on the ground.
The Magic Weapons that he threw earlier did not stir the interest of the Soul Devouring Flame, and they were now lying on the ground.
His gesture of throwing the Magical Weapons was indeed bold, but now crouching on the ground to pick them up did seem a bit embarrassing.
During the process, he saw the Red Jade Ring turned into fine powder.
This reminded him of the shadowy figure earlier and the look in Elder Lu’s eyes when he was observing the shadowy figure.
In his opinion, the usually calm and composed Lu Xun, who usually doesn’t show emotions, uncharacteristically stepped on the Ring fragments, which was abnormal.
Although he looked cool when he stepped on it, there must be some hidden story, right?
After putting all the Magical Weapons into the Storage Ring, Jiang Nan’an asked, “Elder Lu, about that shadowy figure earlier…”
Seeing him beat around the bush, Lu Xun, considering him as the future key player in fighting against the Foreign Race, said, “It’s from the Foreign Race, and holds a high status.”
After finishing, he added to shift the blame, “I heard about him from Yin Tian, who attacked me.”
…and Yin Tian got “whipped” again…
After Jiang Nan’an nodded, he curiously asked, “Then… does Elder Lu have an old grudge with him?”
He saw various emotions in Lu Xun’s eyes earlier.
Lu Xun nodded without denying it.
He calmly said, “What he did to me is nothing. Mainly, he should not have harmed those I wanted to protect.”
“Who is it?” Jiang Nan’an asked curiously.
His face reading like an open-book of gossip, with his trademark mischievous grin, looked like an eager husky.
Lu Xun didn’t answer directly but said;
“I once heard a saying: a young man’s shoulders should bear the responsibility of springy grass and bright moonlight.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan’an thought it was a well-crafted quote.
But… what does it have to do with the people he wants to protect?
Looking at the puzzled Jiang Nan’an, Lu Xun smiled and said;
“On my shoulders, I don’t have these, most of the time, I just have a little black cat.”
…
…
All the people had withdrawn from the altar’s vicinity. Now, left on the altar were only Lu Xun, the recovering Sword Sheath, and “The Sword Qi is Near” hovering in the air.
No matter how you look at it, it seems to be full of hostility towards Lu Xun.
Among the hostility, there were also feelings of jealousy, anger, resentment and… envy?
