Chapter 460: 460,【High Importance of the Foreign Race】
Outside the Eastern Demon Sect, Zhuge Lai Fu flew forward with the Junior Priest in tow.
“You seem to be quite interested in the Demon Sect?” Zhuge Lai Fu asked.
He noticed that after arriving here, the Junior Priest had been constantly looking around, his eyes never resting. In his clear and bright gaze, there even seemed to be a slight spark of excitement.
“The scenery here is very beautiful,” said the young man, with his head full of white hair, in an old voice.
Apart from his clear eyes, the Junior Priest looked no different from an elderly person.
Zhuge Lai Fu was taken aback slightly. He wasn’t sure if what the Junior Priest was saying was true or false.
According to him, he wasn’t interested in the Demon Sect, but the scenery of the mountain?
Zhuge Lai Fu didn’t speak any further, and after passing through the Mountain Protection Array of the Demon Sect, he flew directly to the mountain’s rear without any delay.
Compared to the various peaks within the Demon Sect, the scenery of the mountain’s rear was naturally more peculiar.
It was a mountain that could be described as “delicate”. The whole mountain looked like a large bonsai that had been carefully trimmed.
This was the first time the Junior Priest had seen such a mountain. He was like a young man who was passionate about sightseeing. His pale and wrinkled face even showed a hint of a smile.
Zhuge Lai Fu landed in front of the Small Study. At that moment, everyone was seated outside the entrance to the Small Study.
“Master, second sister.” Zhuge Lai Fu greeted the master and Gu Xiaoman first.
Lu Xun and the others greeted their third elder brother.
Then, everyone’s gaze converged on the Junior Priest.
“Master, why did the third elder brother bring an old man back?” Mao Nanbei asked in surprise.
The master glanced at the Junior Priest and said, “This is a Junior Priest from the Foreign Race.”
“What!” Mao Nanbei and the others were shocked.
This seemingly weak one-eyed old man was actually from the Foreign Race!?
Unlike them, Lu Xun recognized the Junior Priest at a glance.
In his previous life playing “Heavenly Dust”, among the three Priests, the Junior Priest was not as famous as the first two, but he was the most mysterious one.
He was rumored to be young, but his body was aging, and he was on the verge of death.
There were also rumors that he was an ordinary mortal, without any cultivation base.
The biggest sensation he had ever caused on the forum was the news of his death.
He wasn’t killed by any player or NPC to stir up the forum.
He… died of old age!
Yes, one of the three big priests of the Foreign Race, viewed as a big Boss by the players, died on his own without any player meddling!
This feeling was very strange.
It was like watching a drama and the antagonists had done nothing, were still sharpening their knives, when suddenly one of the main villains died of old age before their very eyes!
—What kind of weird plot twist was that!
Anyway, the trollish players had never encountered such a situation in other games. So they were directly stunned, and the forum was instantly filled with discussions.
“If I remember correctly, when the Junior Priest died, the Foreign Race’s full invasion had just started, and the highest level of the players was only in the forties.” Lu Xun recalled in his heart.
“That is to say, if the normal plot is followed, the Junior Priest won’t live for much longer. But now, because I, an attractive butterfly, flapped my wings and caused a series of butterfly effects, it’s really hard to predict what will happen next.” Lu Xun looked at the Junior Priest and thought a lot.
With that thought in mind, he carefully looked at the Junior Priest again.
The Junior Priest indeed looked like a candle in the wind, as if a gust of somewhat stronger wind could completely extinguish the flame.
While he was examining the Junior Priest, the Junior Priest was also looking at him.
He seemed to be very interested in Lu Xun and the master.
“So this is the rumored Demon Sect’s Lu Xun and the legendary master.” The Junior Priest said in his old voice.
Despite having no cultivation base and being in the enemy’s camp, he was not the slightest bit nervous or panicky. On the contrary, he seemed to be very interested in this trip.
The third elder brother asked the master, “Master, I have brought the person back as you instructed, what should we do next?”
Instead of answering directly, the master asked, “Third, when you brought him back to the sect, did you run into any problems?”
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Lai Fu narrated the whole story.
Listening to the third elder brother’s description, Lu Xun secretly praised in his heart, “Using so many Godspeed Talismans all at once, the third elder brother really is generous. Plus, he is cautious and meticulous in his actions despite his high cultivation base – I should learn more from him.”
Hearing Zhuge Lai Fu’s words, the master’s mouth twitched slightly. He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something but then decided against it.
After all… this personality trait was not necessarily a bad thing.
When he heard that the Junior Priest had surrendered willingly – essentially delivering himself into the hands of his disciple for abduction – the master gave him an appreciative look.
“You’re smarter than I expected. However, you hold other’s lives too dearly and are too indifferent concerning your own death,” the master said, looking at the young man.
Lu Xun was left in a fog, not perfectly understanding what the master meant.
All he knew for the moment was that the captured Junior Priest would probably fetch a decent price.
If he could kill him, maybe he could earn quite a lot of experience points?
At that moment, Lu Xun remained an observer. He thought there was certainly a profound reason why the master had asked his disciples to capture the Junior Priest, all he had to do was listen.
Unexpectedly, the master suddenly said, “Little Five!”
“Uh, I’m here.” Lu Xun stepped forward.
“You seem to be fond of interrogation. You can interrogate this man for now,” the master said casually.
Lu Xun: “???”
He felt the master’s words were strange. What did he mean by his fondness for interrogation?
If he meant that Lu Xun was skilled in interrogation, he would probably laugh and say that he had a rough idea of how to conduct one.
However, having a fondness for interrogation seemed to imply a unique preference.
After all, there were many methods in interrogation… which were unfit for detail depiction.
Of course, interrogating the Junior Priest, given his physical condition, wouldn’t be very interesting.
Although Lu Xun was thinking this, he still accepted the task.
He really was curious about the Junior Priest. Even though the people of the foreign race all had a Blood Covenant which meant he couldn’t get much information out of them, he still wanted to try.
So, he took the Junior Priest and flew to the mountain cave where he had his previous closed-door training.
…
…
On an unnamed small island in the Ink Sea.
Intense pressure enveloped the whole island. The several-meter-high shadow projected a terrifying sense of dread.
The Supreme Lord today seemed extremely irritable.
Next to the shadow, the round-faced Great Sacrificial Rite, felt a cold sweat not only on his nose but also on his forehead. It seemed that even he could not withstand this pressure!
The Supreme Lord was the strongest being under the god. Even the Great Sacrificial Rite would be easily crushed by his power.
The round-faced Great Sacrificial Rite resembled a big-headed boy. Given his big head, the Supreme Lord could easily smash it open like a watermelon falling to the ground.
The Great Sacrificial Rite was aware of the reason why the Supreme Lord was furious.
The Junior Priest had disappeared!
The position of the Junior Priest was exceptional. The Great Sacrificial Rite also knew this.
May be the Supreme Lord regarded the Junior Priest as more important than him, the Great Sacrificial Rite, and this made him even more puzzled.
Given the Junior Priest’s skill in divination and his daily practice, how could he have been taken away without making a sound?
The towering shadow turned around and said in a gender-ambiguous voice, “Order everyone, at any cost, to get the Junior Priest back!”
“Yes!” The Great Sacrificial Rite nodded and accepted the command.
Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.
Since his arrival in the Heavenly Dust, this is the first time he has seen the Supreme Lord so angry.
“Could this matter be more serious than I thought?” the Great Sacrificial Rite wondered.
The Supreme Lord looked at him, thought for a moment, and decided to make him understand how serious the situation was.
He looked at the Great Sacrificial Rite and with only one sentence, set the hairs on his body on end.
“The Junior Priest… does not carry a Blood Pact!”
