There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 390: 390, [Don’t be a yes-man, starting with myself]

Lu Xun’s gaze lingered on the area map drawn by An Chen, specifically focusing on the northern region of West State.

Back in his previous life, players had dismantled a considerable number of altars in the West State. However, the only location Lu Xun could clearly recall was the one outside of Lotus Village.

He wasn’t sure about the exact locations of several altars, but he remembered their general regions.

Before, he wouldn’t dare to take too many risks.

It wasn’t a game anymore, and though he still had two respawn chances left, he valued his life dearly.

This was evident from the moment he strongly rejected Ji Li’s request for dual cultivation at the furnace top.

But things were different now. He also had a bodyguard!

And not just any bodyguard. He was arguably the strongest protector in the Heavenly Dust Continent. Rounding things off, it was as if he was accompanied by the world’s top sword cultivator!

So, where couldn’t Lu Xun go?

Even if he couldn’t remember the exact locations, he could simply circle the entire region!

Killing foreign races was trivial, dismantling altars was the real challenge!

Getting hung up on beheading enemies wouldn’t end well. Pushing towers, demolishing homes, that was the right way!

“While I still have my trusty sword, I intend to dismantle several more altars. It’s not for contribution points, but simply because I want to contribute more time and energy to the Heavenly Dust Continent!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

His choice of Frost Feather City in the northern part of West State was not just due to his vague recollection of nearby altar locations, but also because… the city had been reduced to ruins, completely demolished.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack of the foreign race, Frost Feather City couldn’t hold up. By the time reinforcements from the two major sword sects arrived, the scene inside the city was too heartbreaking to witness.

Most nearby players were killed until their respawn chances hit zero, forcing a logout, indicative of the battle’s brutality.

The final situation of the Frost Feather City battlefield could be summarized in a single statement:

“Full city of sword cultivators, all die outside the city.”

In the map by An Chen, Frost Feather City was covered by a glaring red area, the color of blood.

Lu Xun knew that the foreign races would not stay to await retaliation from the sword cultivators of West State. However, for their actions, they must pay!

The altar there would be the price they paid!

After closing the forum, Lu Xun glanced at Ye Sui’an sitting next to him. He was still pondering the issue about the foreign race, looking serious and focused.

In Lu Xun’s view, this was a good thing. It made him seem more like a world protagonist.

“What have you drawn from your thoughts?” Lu Xun asked.

Ye Sui’an shook his head, “Elder Lu, considering the current situation, what… what can I do for West State?”

Ye Sui’an was somewhat confused.

His current cultivation base was limited and couldn’t contribute much in a great battle, even though he had another breakthrough on the battlefield outside of Sword Casting City!

Lu Xun looked at him and said, “Practice your cultivation, do your job well, stay grounded, and live without regrets.”

In his view, the main plot of the foreign invasion had just begun, and as the world protagonist, Ye Sui’an was still in the growth phase.

The leading role on the current stage wasn’t yet his, but belonged to those shielding him from the wind and rain, like Wu Shanshui during the battle outside Sword Casting City.

But as time goes by, given his talent, he would sooner or later become a powerful sword cultivator capable of standing alone. That would be his time to shine.

“Compared to this, it seems like I, the ‘Pseudo World Protagonist’, could do more things after all. I’m sort of a prophet.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

While looking at Ye Sui’an, he added, “You’re not strong enough yet, and still need others to shield you. But eventually, you’ll be the one shielding others. It’s growth, and it’s about passing on the mantle.”

Ye Sui’an looked up at Lu Xun. It was unclear what he had figured out, but he nodded fervently, “Elder Lu, I got it!”

Looking at his shining eyes, Lu Xun couldn’t be sure what Ye Sui’an had finally understood… exactly what did he comprehend?

Ye Sui’an picked up the teapot and poured tea for Lu Xun.

While pouring, he asked, “Elder Lu, where are you planning on going next?”
