Chapter 281: 281, You still lack a grandfather

Translator: 549690339

Throughout a person’s life, there will always be a few scenes that they will eternally remember, scenes that still leave a profound impression even when recalled years later.

For the disciples of the Demon Sect outside the Secret Realm, the scene unfolding before them now was one such moment.

The Young Elder with his overwhelming strength destroyed the Drought Corpse, and his power was so immense that he demolished the entire Secret Realm along with it!

The collapsing Secret Realm caused waves of thunderous sounds, the impact of rocks and soil hitting the ground.

The air filled with dust and smoke, slightly obstructing and blurring the rays of light filtering through.

The man, clad in a black robe, was surrounded by a dark aura as he held a gravely wounded and unconscious youth by his side.

Amidst the light and shadows, his immaculate black robe juxtaposed against the ruins behind him provided a stark contrast.

This moment was forever imprinted in the eyes of every disciple of the Demon Sect present.

What shocked them the most was that the Young Elder seemed to be in good shape.

Accomplishing these feats appeared to be nothing more than a breeze to him!

He showed no signs of depletion of his Spiritual Power or exhaustion of his Divine Sense.

His facial expression was as serene and gentle as always, and upon seeing the stunned expressions on everyone’s faces, he even wore his usual, warm smile.

All of a sudden, the previous fear, exhaustion, and tension in everyone’s hearts evaporated entirely.

It felt as though as long as the Young Elder was present, everything could be resolved.

Upon exiting the zone littered with debris, the surrounding disciples of the Demon Sect immediately converged around him.

“Young Elder!” they said in unison.

“There’s no need for formalities,” Lu Xun said with a smile.

“Young Elder, about that Drought Corpse…” a disciple with the surname of Xu asked.

“Anyone who dares to harm my fellow Demon Sect disciples will inevitably meet their end,” Lu Xun stated apathetically.

Using the dark aura surrounding him, he gently placed Xu Zhongcheng onto a nearby grass patch.

Seeing the severe injuries all over Xu Zhongcheng’s body, some of the more emotional disciples already had tears welling up in their eyes.

A female disciple said tearfully, “Because he was trying to protect us, Brother Xu got hurt so badly… If it weren’t for Young Elder… he… he…”

Seeing the concern and worry etched on everyone’s faces, Lu Xun reassured them, “Don’t worry. As long as I am here, no one will die.”

Given Lu Xun’s stature amongst the younger generation of the Demon Sect, his words instilled a sense of unconditional trust in everyone.

Everyone felt as if they had taken a comforting heart pill, and their anxiety was immediately alleviated.

At this point, Lu Xun turned to look at Wang Tao, who was also unconsciously lying nearby.

Wang Tao’s situation was slightly better than Xu Zhongcheng’s, but it wasn’t by much.

Lu Xun used the dark aura to lift the two of them together and took them to a secluded place. He said, “You all, stay at a distance and guard for me, I will tend to their injuries.”

Earlier, in the midst of chaos, Lu Xun had used a green pearl to maintain Xu Zhongcheng’s last breath, and he had not had enough time to thoroughly heal him.

Now, he needed to use this green pearl to fully heal the two of them.

The disciples agreed and said in unison, “Yes!”

They then dispersed and took up defensive positions around Lu Xun, their faces grave and serious.

Lu Xun lightly tapped his sword sheath, and with a ‘pop’, he pulled out the green pearl.

He used its mysterious power to heal Xu Zhongcheng and Wang Tao’s injuries.

Concentrating on both tasks did not exhaust Lu Xun. This was an advantage of having a strong Divine Sense.

Wang Tao’s injuries were easier to treat, but when it was time to treat Xu Zhongcheng, Lu Xun could not help but frown slightly.

“This lad sacrificed himself to save others without leaving himself a way out,” he sighed, murmuring softly.

Not only had Xu Zhongcheng exploded his Qi Sea, but he had also been consuming his own life force.

The latter could be treated by Lu Xun with the green pearl, but there was no remedy for the former.

His exploding of the Qi Sea was on par with Tianhe Shangren from Tianque Gate!
