There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 333: 333, [The dog of dogs, the cheap of the cheap]

Within the Lost Forest, atop the wreckage of an altar.

Golden sunny light showered upon Lu Xun, his smile warm and comforting, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Such a smile could even captivate the normally stoic Ji Li and the now grown-up Lin Chan.

However, to Yin Tian, this smile sent shivers down his spine.

Despite being just a youngster, only at The Third Realm in his cultivation, he was more intimidating than the Great Cultivator in the Eight Realm he had just encountered!

Yin Tian knew what the consequences would be if Lu Xun truly said what he did.

Being of a pure nature, the Junior Priest probably wouldn’t do anything rash. After all, even though he possessed the same Blood Curse in his veins as us, he didn’t have the same penchant for killing.

However, the same couldn’t be said for the High Priest and Second Priest.

Perhaps in the end, anyone related to Yin Tian might suffer horrors.

“No, it might be even worse. The Second Priest might also get implicated,” Yin Tian thought to himself.

The reason he took on this mission was because of the Second Priest’s idea.

In that case, his own faction, the Yinling Clan, might be in trouble.

Lu Xun looked at the fluctuating expression on Yin Tian’s face and continued to smile.

He was naturally inclined to be this kind of person. To use a classic insult from many years ago, it would be: “If it isn’t on Baidu, it’s definitely on Sogou!”

The scoundrel had his plans and far-reaching schemes well in advance, having already turned Yin Tian into a pawn!

If he planned to deal with the foreign races, one person alone wasn’t enough.

The sooner the news about the foreign races was revealed, the better.

Although he was not a great philanthropist, the incident outside Lotus Village had made it clear to him: to protect the blissful world he lived in, he was willing to make a contribution whenever he could.

The issue was, Lu Xun himself held many secrets. When revealing the information about the foreign races, he needed a plausible excuse.

In short, he needed a scapegoat.

And Yin Tian was the perfect candidate.

Being a level-70 member of a powerful foreign race, he holds a high position within their ranks.

His status and identity were already well established.

Such an ‘outsider’, comparable to a cultivator in the Seventh Realm, would undoubtedly attract the attention of the native cultivators of the Heavenly Dust Continent.

As for the future, when they notice the Blood Pact on the bodies of other foreign races and fail to get any information, would they give it a second thought?

Maybe they would, but it didn’t matter.

Thinking logically, the problem couldn’t possibly lie with Lu Xun. Surely it was all Yin Tian’s fault!

Perhaps Yin Tian did not have a Blood Pact?

Or perhaps his Blood Pact had been rendered invalid?

Who knew!

By then, all these details would not matter.

No one would question Lu Xun who was already established as a contributor. There would be no reason to.

In the end, if it wasn’t Yin Tian who was saying it, who else could it have been? A ghost?

Was Lu Xun, perhaps, a prophet?

As for the foreign races, they would also think in similar lines, first pondering over what exactly went wrong with Yin Tian.

The key was, Lu Xun was currently just a Third Realm cultivator, not very powerful. This offered him an advantage, a perfect cover.

After all, he was only in the Third Realm and could hardly be expected to have some godlike abilities, could he?

Moreover, his status was extraordinarily high.

Above all, Lu Xun had already groomed the ground— the Monument of West State!

The two major Sword Sects believed that the Monument’s movements were influenced by Sword Mountain Elder.

This was the effects Lu Xun wanted to create — see, even the Sword Mountain Elder gave warning! The Elder also thought that there was something wrong with Yin Tian!

The combination of these effects made for a very persuasive argument!

The setup… had already begun!

Although Yin Tian did not know where Lu Xun got so much information, and he was unaware of the groundwork Lu Xun had laid in relation to the Monument, he knew that Lu Xun’s goal would definitely be achieved.

This would have a huge impact on the plans of the whole foreign race!

Throughout the process, Lu Xun never physically abused him. What he whipped was Yin Tian’s spirit…
