There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 432: [A task has been triggered again]
The lengthy battle outside Blooming City had finally come to an end.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xun decided to leave the place first with his second senior sister and Mao Nanbei.

There were too many players with eccentric humor here. Just now everyone was busy killing monsters, but now that the monsters were all dead, the players were all craning their necks to peek over, in case anything troublesome happens

With three Purple Name NPCs standing around, the players simply couldn’t remain calm.

“Second senior sister, Mao Nanbei, let’s leave this place first,” said Lu Xun.

Anyway, he had already left spiritual marks on Lu Yu and Xiao Long Bao’s paper cranes, so he could find them at any time.

“O…okay.” His second senior sister nodded in agreement.

Mao Nanbei didn’t even need to respond. She was sitting on Lu Xun’s shoulder, so naturally, wherever he went, she followed along.

The three of them quickly disappeared from the place, and the players hadn’t even reacted before they were out of sight.

“Ah, we should’ve approached them earlier! What if we triggered some hidden event?” one of the players lamented.

“You were hoping to trigger the event? I think you just wanted to interact with Gu Xiaoman and Mao Nanbei!”

“What’s wrong with that? Is there anything wrong with a man being a little lustful?”

The eccentric players chattered away, while Lu Xun’s Sword-Serving Children and Lu Xiaoyu were left confused and clueless.

The Sword-Serving Children were dumbfounded. They finally found the Purple Palace, but it was whisked away by the senior sisters?

As for Lu Xiaoyu, she felt a sense of loss.

Elsewhere, as soon as Lu Xun’s group found a quiet place, Mao Nanbei was clamoring about being hungry.

A Great Cultivator who had reached the Sixth Boundary had already achieved consumption-free sustenance! What hunger are you talking about?!

You’re not hungry, you’re just craving!

Of course, Lu Xun didn’t say anything. Instead, he quietly gathered some ingredients from the forest to cook some food for Mao Nanbei.

Meanwhile, this was the first time that Lu Xun had a face-to-face meal with his second senior sister.

When they had meals in the bamboo forest on the back mountain in the past, she would always sit on a rock with her back to everyone.

Lu Xun had to prepare her meal separately.

Unlike Mao Nanbei, who ate like a cyclone, his second senior sister was slow and leisurely when she was eating.

Her calm and peaceful demeanor was evident in every aspect of her persona.

“No wonder she’s so thin, with such a slow pace of eating,” Lu Xun thought to himself.

But he had to admit, his second senior sister was the kind of girl who looked good even when she was thin.

After taking a bite of food, Lu Xun suddenly received a notification.

“[Ding! You have successfully triggered the quest: The Fury of the Supreme Lord.]”

…

…

In the depths of the Ink Sea, on an unnamed tiny island.

A black entity, over two meters tall, was standing in front. Behind it, was a boy of petite build with a tiger-shaped face and a felt hat on top of his head.

The child was actually shorter than Mao Nanbei. He stood behind the over two meters tall shadow figure, appearing like a small dot.

Yeah, a dot that had been alive for goodness knows how many years.

Even though the Foreign Race High Priest looked like a boy, his eyes were not as innocent. He lifted his head, adjusted the hat on his head, and said, “Supreme Lord, the Second Priest is dead.”

The shadowy figure silently nodded and said, “I know.”

The figure’s voice was androgynous, making it impossible to tell whether it was a male or female.

The Supreme Lord looked up at the sky of the Heavenly Dust Continent and said, “Before his death, the Second Priest asked me to bestow an avatar upon him.”

“What!” The High Priest couldn’t help but look up, his eyes filled with surprise.

He knew that the Second Priest was dead, but he did not know the specifics.

He found out about the Second Priest’s death by the shattering of his Life Source Crystal.

The High Priest knew about the Second Priest’s plan.

His avatar went to look for the Second Priest once, who, under great pressure, wanted to redress his previous wrong by doing a meritorious deed. He decided to take the risk of sacrificing his avatar to capture Lu Xun.

The High Priest found the Second Priest’s death during the capture of Lu Xun puzzling. And what was even more unbelievable was when the Supreme Lord said that the Second Priest had requested for a bestowed avatar right before his death.

“He actually died even after requesting for a bestowed avatar?” This shattered the cognitive understanding of the High Priest.

He knew very well how powerful a bestowed avatar was.

That’s why he was shocked.

“I have been informed of everything by my avatar. You may close your eyes,” said the Supreme Lord in that androgynous voice.

The High Priest closed his eyes, and soon he saw the scene from back then.

He saw Gu Xiaoman holding a Wooden Sword, as well as Mao Nanbei and Lu Xun.

The perspective was from the Second Priest, starting from when he had requested for the bestowed avatar.

Then, he heard the line, “Xiao Man, let me borrow your sword.”

He could sense from the tone of the voice how calm and composed the speaker was.

It was as if all he was facing was a small issue, a minor problem.

As soon as the line was spoken, he saw a golden character for “sword” that directly broke through the darkness and attached itself to Gu Xiaoman’s Wooden Sword.

The power of One Sword not only destroyed the shadowy figure in the sky but also broke the dark shroud in the area!

Having witnessed all this personally, the High Priest couldn’t help but shudder.

If he had been there in person, there was no way he would’ve been able to withstand that One Sword!

The presence of Gu Xiaoman didn’t pose a significant threat to the High Priest.

Gu Xiaoman was strong, yes, but at most the High Priest would be cautious about her. He wouldn’t be afraid of her.

However, that golden “Sword” character that appeared out of nowhere would’ve gotten him killed in an instant.

“Is this display of power from the sir?” The High Priest wasn’t a fool. He naturally guessed it was the sir’s doing.

In his mind, he thought, “I just don’t know how much power the sir used for that One Sword.”

When the scene ended, the High Priest opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Obviously, the sir was much more powerful than they had initially estimated!

“Supreme Lord, our plan…” The High Priest was hesitant.

The black trace waved its hand and said, “The plan remains unchanged.”

The High Priest absolutely obeyed the Supreme Lord. He dared to call the Second Priest a waste to his face, but he didn’t have the guts to contradict any word from the Supreme Lord.

Also, he could tell that the Supreme Lord was clearly not in a good mood.

“Is it because of Yi Xuan?” The High Priest guessed in his heart.

He knew that Yi Xuan’s team had descended outside Blooming City.

If even the Second Priest was killed, how could Yi Xuan possibly be still alive?

“I didn’t expect the Supreme Lord to hold this adopted son in such high regard,” said the High Priest to himself.

He knew that the Supreme Lord had a drop of Yi Xuan’s Lifeblood. So, the Supreme Lord could clearly see everything that happened before Yi Xuan’s death.

He just wasn’t sure who was responsible for killing Yi Xuan, was it Gu Xiaoman or Mao Nanbei?

The over two meters tall shadowy figure squinted his eyes and muttered a name he’d heard frequently recently:

“Lu Xun…”
