Chapter 189: 189, [Cold-faced Strongman of the Eighth Realm]

Translator: 549690339

Within the “Ghost’s Grief”, upon hearing that Lu Xun and the others were planning to go to Boundless Mountain, and that they extended an invitation to him, Ye Sui An immediately agreed with clear delight.

“Elder Lu, I am willing to accompany you on the journey!”

As to why Elder Lu wanted to go to Boundless Mountain?

Who cares?! Just follow him! Anything is acceptable!

Just like that, with numerous stupefied faces watching, the four departed from the “Ghost’s Grief”.

Observing these frozen faces, Lu Xun actually felt a bit nostalgic.

When he aggressively killed players from Boundless Mountain in the past, his favourite part was seeing their faces stiffen as they screamed in pain due to his relentless beatdown.

Lu Xun with the two ladies mounted the paper crane, without inviting Ye Sui An to join, wishing for Ye Sui An and Little Chan to keep a certain distance.

Ye Sui An didn’t mind, taking out from his storage ring his flying magical treasure- a leaf-type light boat.

Lu Xun took a glance at Ye Sui An’s flying magical treasure, that looked like a small boat made from a huge yellow leaf.

In terms of appearance, the paper crane was more exquisite, but this leaf-type light boat also had its own charm.

“It looks really nice.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

If I get the chance, I want to get one to add to my collection.

Or…should I trick him out of it?

Forget it, we’re not that close yet; I can decide later.

After all, when it comes to swindling, I’m a professional.

The paper crane and the leaf-type light boat continued to move northbound. Boundless Mountain was located in the extreme north, while “Ghost’s Grief” was within its domain, there was still quite a distance to the mountain itself.

All along the way, Lu Xun kept recalling scenes inside “Ghost’s Grief”, mainly reflecting on the body resembling a living corpse.

“From the timeline, after the public testing phase, as the players gradually grow, the imprisoned entity in this instance dungeon will become a real Ghost King and no longer a living corpse.”

“Then, during this period, something must have happened.”

“And the gentleman happened to need something from Boundless Mountain; perhaps what he had asked me to retrieve… was this living corpse?”

Maybe in the prior life, the gentleman came to retrieve it himself or he might have sent some other senior brothers and sisters. Once the pieces come together, everything makes sense.

Of course, the most likely possibility is that Boundless Mountain itself had switched out the living corpse. After all, this is their Trial Ground, and they can handle it however they wish.

There may have been some secret affairs during this time, that even the players of Boundless Mountain might not have the right to know!

All the way, Lu Xun could feel that Ye Sui An was always sneaking glances at him from time to time.

Especially when Lu Xun was in deep thought, Ye Sui An would look at him while shaking his head with fervent eyes.

“What the heck is he imagining?” Lu Xun felt speechless.

They had barely started their journey, and he was already somewhat regretting bringing Ye Sui An along.

After about an hour, the paper crane and the leaf-type light boat finally arrived at the gate of Boundless Mountain.

Without permission, Lu Xun and the others wouldn’t be able to enter as the Mountain Protection Array was in place; an attempted breach would guaranteedly turn them to ashes.

Lu Xun was clear that Boundless Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array would undoubtedly not be as strong as Demon Sect’s.

Why did he believe this?

Of course, it was due to the testing undertaken by foolish players!

Storming the Mountain Protection Array is one of the best ways to commit suicide; it was estimated that a level 60 player charging into the Mountain Protection Array of Boundless Mountain would last just two to three seconds. If it were on the other hand, the Demon Sect’s Array, they would have been instantly destroyed.

Such incredibly foolish and idle activity, Lu Xun had naturally… done the same in the past.

Of course, in this lifetime, he would definitely not risk doing it.

Looking around, it was snow white all over, enveloped in ice and snow.

The mountain was incredibly high, estimated to be more than Demon Sect’s main peak.

This was a colossal mountain, named Boundless Mountain. This was both the name of the mountain, and the sect.

Lu Xun gazed at the snowy scenery and the mountain before him, unable to help himself from reciting a verse of a poem:

“The mountains dance like silver snakes, and the highlands charge like wax-elephants, vying with the Heavenly Emperor to see who is higher!”

“Little Junior Brother, what are you mumbling under your breath?” The uncultured Mao Nanbei asked curiously.

Not understanding a single line of poetry? Are you completely unlettered?

Empty inside, it’s no wonder he doesn’t grow up.

Lu Xun patted his chest, asking himself, “What is inside?”

“Culture!” He answered himself.

Lu Xun looked ahead, knowing that at times like this when visiting, the most effective way to do so was to “call the mountain”.

He cultivated his spiritual power, then shouted loudly, “Demon Sect’s Lu Xun, Mao Nanbei, Lin Chan, are here to pay a visit!”

The voice, empowered by spiritual force, echoed like rolling thunder, reaching far and wide.

Ye Sui’an who was standing beside him was taken aback: “What about me? What about me? Why didn’t Elder Lu chant my name?”

However, he didn’t think much of it, simply feeling that Elder Lu perhaps didn’t want to exceed his authority, so he faithfully imitated, and shouted loud: “Swordsman Successor Ye Sui’an has come to visit!”

Not much later, a part of the Boundless Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array was activated, and several shadows flew down from the mountain peak, the one leading them was actually the Sect Leader of Boundless Mountain, Feng Wuming.

Feng Wuming was of medium build, ordinary-looking, with quite thick hair, and eagle-like sharp eyes.

He also carried a poker face, yet from his mouth issued forth hearty, exuberant laughter: “Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Portrait plus sound effect, seems very absurd.

As a worthy Level Eight strongman, a towering figure in the Cultivation World, the sect leader of one of the three major Demon Sects, the Boundless Mountain, usually cold-stone-like Feng Wuming had to squeeze out a great deal of warmth for Lu Xun at this moment.

The reason? Because standing behind Lu Xun and others, was the revered Master.

If not for the Master, the cultivators in the Demon Sect would not have their current status and influence.

All the cultivators in the Demon Sect, consider themselves juniors to the Master.

Feng Wuming maintained his cold face while laughing heartily, spoke with warmth and politeness: “Ha ha ha ha, I didn’t expect it to be the two disciples of the Master who have graced us with their presence. I am sorry for not coming to meet you both earlier, my sincere apologies for the oversight!”

He looked at Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei, then laughed and said: “In terms of seniority, I should really be calling you both uncle masters.”

“Sect Leader Feng addressing us by our names is fine. Of course, if Sect Leader Feng were to call me young friend Lu, I would secretly be thrilled.” Lu Xun replied with a genial smile. You give me face, I’ll give you face.

One word from you, one word from me, after several rounds of mutual flattery, the atmosphere immediately became harmonious and heated.

As for how Feng Wuming was able to confirm Lu Xun’s identity, it was naturally because he, being a Level Eight strongman himself, was able to discern the secret technique Shen Yan had helped Lu Xun set up on the sword sheath, recognizing it as the sheath of ‘The Sword Qi is Near’.

On the contrary, Ye Sui’an was left out for a while.

After all, so what if you’re the only successor of Sword Mountain?

Feng Wuming is a senior, his status is on par with the sect leaders of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, in front of him, Ye Sui’an is just a junior.

Moreover, although the Heavenly Dust Continent isn’t exactly a battleground between orthodoxy and heterodoxy, there is still some mutual dislike.

After all, people who tread different paths cannot make plans together. Everyone’s path of development is different, even the ‘Dao’ they cultivate isn’t the same.

Of course, in the end, he did greet Ye Sui’an, otherwise it would make Boundless Mountain look petty.

Moreover, Ye Sui’an came with Lu Xun, so he should give some more face.

On the other hand, Ye Sui’an didn’t really care about all this, he only felt that Elder Lu was indeed worth learning from in terms of humility and his approach towards people. He felt that he had pulled everything off in an amiable and modest manner.

When someone has special feelings towards someone else, they will feel that whatever they do is glowing!

“Why don’t we stop chatting in mid-air, why not come and sit at the main hall of my Boundless Mountain?” Feng Wuming continued to suggest with a cold face but warm words.

“Excellent, excellent.” Lu Xun followed suit with a smile.

Then, a large party of people flew towards the main hall, directly passing through the Mountain Protection Array.

Ye Sui’an, however, seemed like someone who was being brought along. He was trailing at the very back, eyeing Lu Xun’s receding back with passionate eyes.
