Chapter 391: Fate, Fate
In the sky, a small boat was sailing across the horizon.
Lu Xun and Ye Sui'an were sitting on a flying magic boat. From time to time, they could see flying swords coming from afar and heading towards the sword tomb.
Among them, Ye Sui'an actually recognized some of the flying swords. They were the swords of Yijian Mountain and Wanjian Mountain.
This caused him to be somewhat silent along the way, no longer as talkative as before.
To be honest, Ye Sui'an was not that talkative when he was in the sect normally, but every time he saw Lu Xun, he would become quite excited and couldn't help but talk more.
Following Lu Xun's instructions, Ye Sui'an steered a light boat and flew towards the boundary marker at the border of Xizhou.
The two of them traveled from the southern part of Xizhou to the northern part of Xizhou, and stopped by to see the boundary marker, which was not considered a long detour.
Although he didn't know why Senior Lu went to observe the boundary monument at this time, he still did as he was told without asking any more questions.
Lu Xun was sitting there browsing the forum when a message suddenly popped up in front of him.
"[Ding! According to the location, you are in the territory of Xizhou. The clone of the key alien figure [Second Priest] is active in the territory of Xizhou. Do you want to accept the mission and find his trace?]"
After seeing the prompt message, Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then chose to accept the task.
If nothing goes wrong, this mission should have been triggered by all players in Xizhou.
“It’s the [Second Priest] again. It’s really a narrow road for enemies to meet. It’s a pity that the one in Xizhou is his clone, not his real body.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He knew that the alien [High Priest] had at least two clones, because the players alone had seen two of them.
The [Second Priest] should have only one clone, otherwise, after his clone was destroyed in his previous life, his original body would not have been running around in the Tianchen Continent.
Lu Xun was very interested in the [Secret Art of Splitting] of the alien race and found it very interesting.
If I could have a clone when I was on Earth, that would be so great. I could rely on him to do a lot of unscrupulous things!
For example... go to school for me and do my homework for me.
After Lu Xun received the task, he checked the task details.
Since this is a wide-ranging group task, the task content is the same for everyone.
The mission requires you to find the trace of the Second Priest's clone, and then report his information to any elder or higher-level person in the seven major sects.
This is just a mission to search for intelligence.
After all, with the current strength of the stupid players, even if they all rushed forward and used the human wave tactics, it is estimated that they would not be enough for the [Second Priest] to kill...
When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, victory cannot be achieved by numbers alone.
After all, if you can't even break the defense, you can't produce any effective output and the opponent won't even lose blood.
What's more, with the strength of the [Second Priest], he could probably crush a large number of players with just a flick of his fingers.
Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, delivering takeaway food?
After reading the mission details, Lu Xun found it a bit interesting.
"For others, this task is divided into the first half and the second half, but for me it is much simpler and more crude."
"Even if other players have intelligence, they still have to rush to find the top leaders of the seven major sects to report and submit the mission."
"I am different... I am a high-ranking member of the Demon Sect!"
Submit the task to yourself.jpg.
There's no way, who told him that he is both an NPC and has the functions of a player?
"The mission reward is 300,000 experience points, 1,000 sect reputation points, and a chance to gain the favor of NPCs. It's not that tempting for me." Lu Xun thought to himself.
Due to his own special characteristics, he does not lack these things.
Among these three rewards, the most valuable one for him is the sect reputation value.
His current reputation with the Demon Sect is as high as 48,121 points, and it is already very difficult for him to make further progress.
Thinking back to when he first joined the sect, he could earn a lot of reputation points just by showing his face in public.
Now, even if he dragged Ye Sui'an back to the Demon Sect and beat up this sword genius in public, he probably wouldn't gain much reputation.
Maybe…it’s better to show off his bulging abs than to beat him?
"Once your reputation reaches 50,000 points, you can submit another reputation task and receive 1 random special attribute point."
"Thinking about it this way, this mission is still somewhat useful."
"But Xizhou is so big, where can I find it?"
To be honest, this kind of mission just depends on who is lucky enough to happen to run into the second priest's clone.
If we really want to search for it, it's not that easy, and there are no clues to deduce or analyze.
"It's still more reliable to dismantle the altar." Lu Xun thought to himself.
Of course, if a player published the information of the Second Priest on the forum after submitting the task, he would not mind taking a detour and specifically causing trouble for the Second Priest.
If conditions permit, it would be best to destroy his clone!
With [Sword Qi Near] by his side, rounding it off, he is roughly equivalent to the eldest senior brother who does not use a sword before going into seclusion!
Very confident!
As for whether he himself has the chance to encounter the incarnation of the Second Priest?
He didn't think much about it. If that was really the case, it could really be considered a bad fate.
"I'm not his true love." Lu Xun complained in his heart.

…
At the border of Xizhou, in front of the boundary marker.
Although the Tianchen Continent was hit by a sudden catastrophe, there were still many sword cultivators sitting in front of the boundary monument.
But before, many people came here to visit the scenic spots, and many people came to try their luck, but now more people come here to meditate.
After a battle with the alien race, many sword practitioners felt uneasy.
Those who are closer to the boundary marker will choose to meditate here, not seeking sudden enlightenment, but only to stabilize their sword heart.
A huge boundary marker stood there, and the four large characters [Sword Dao Yongchang] were so conspicuous that many sword practitioners felt mixed emotions when looking at these four characters.
But as they sat in front of the boundary marker, they couldn't help but straighten their backs.
There is a small hill a few miles away from the Xizhou boundary marker.
At the top of the hill, there was a middle-aged man wrapped in a dark red cloak, gazing at the Xizhou boundary marker from afar.
His eyebrows are very thick and straight.
His eyes are not big, but their pupils are deep and dark.
He habitually put his hands behind his back and gently rubbed his thumb around his index finger.
This is a habit he has developed over the years and he can't change it.
——He likes to turn the red jade ring on his index finger with his thumb.
But this is just a clone, and it does not have the ruby ring.
Oh, I almost forgot, it’s gone on the main body too.
The red jade ring that had accompanied him for many years was destroyed. The Soul Devouring Fire, the foreign treasure he was so proud of, was also destroyed by the peerless sword!
The middle-aged man looked towards the Xizhou boundary marker, pursed his thin lips, and paused for a moment.
"As I expected, the place where this boundary monument is located is where the luck of Xizhou is concentrated, and it is also the key to the dragon vein of Xizhou."
"Oh, I almost forgot. Sword practitioners in Xizhou like to call it sword luck."
The look in his eyes as he looked towards the boundary marker was somewhat sinister.
If there wasn't this boundary marker, the kid named Lu Xun would have died long before Yin Tian took action.
"My layout in West Continent and East Territory started from here, and something went wrong."
"It is precisely because that kid survived, and because Yin Tian's [Blood Contract] seemed to have some problems, that the practitioners of Tianchen Continent became wary of us!"
Although it is not the case that one wrong step will lead to a complete failure, it still has a huge impact.
Even his Soul Devouring Fire was destroyed!
Even Shadow, who served as his right-hand man, died because of this!
"Lu Xun... Lu Xun!" When the second priest thought of this name, he felt a splitting headache and murderous intent filled his heart.
He never thought that the one who would influence his plan would be a young cultivator, a cultivator who was only at the third level!
If it were an ordinary day, he could kill a group of people at this level with just a wave of his hand!
It's just an ant with a noble status!
He set up a killing trap for Lu Xun and sent out a master like Yin Tian. He thought he was using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, but the ant actually fought back.
I thought it was just a setback, but it turned out to be just the beginning of a nightmare!
This Lu Xun is like the most serious variable in the entire alien race’s plan, and almost every time is targeted at him!
The bad things are basically his good things...
The second priest looked at the boundary marker in the distance and said, "This variable must be eliminated, but before eliminating him, you should start first."
Everything started when the boundary marker flew into the sky and crushed the strange beast to death. So, everything also started and ended from the boundary marker!
What's more, destroying this place was one of the purposes of his trip.
He raised his head and wiped his eyes, and a dark red light gathered between his eyes.
At this moment, he was looking at the boundary marker and could see the rising green gas emanating from the boundary marker!
The second priest waved his right hand, a golden light flashed on his hand, and then, he clenched something in his palm.
From a distance, it looks like a scepter.
