There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 228, [Purple Palace Arrives]

Translator: 549690339

The catastrophe at the Tianque Gate was drawing to a close.

This mysterious beast, the black eagle, could control the birds in its surroundings, making them bloodthirsty and frenzied, but its range was limited.

Otherwise, with the mountains surrounding the Three Thousand Mountain Area, how many birds would there be?

If they were truly mobilized en masse, it would be like a disaster descending upon the world!

All along the way, Lu Xun saw a few birds whose Spiritual Wisdom was just beginning to awaken. These were the ones that had consumed a small amount of the Essence of the Sun and Moon, possessing certain levels, mostly between 5 and 7.

This puzzled him: “If these small bird monsters with initial cultivation bases have been controlled, why has my Dumb-Headed Crow not been affected?”

The Spirit Crow on his shoulder wasn’t affected at all. Seeing the bird catastrophe, it seemed even a bit frightened, shrinking its head in, huddling against Lu Xun’s neck.

How could it have experienced anything on this scale before?

I’m just a little crow.

It kept nudging against Lu Xun’s neck, tickling him. Lu Xun simply took out a rectangular bamboo box from his storage ring, put the Spirit Crow into it.

Of course, he left a small gap for it to breathe, sparing it from suffocation.

If it really suffocated, he would only have to sadly have it for supper tonight.

All the way, Lu Xun killed the surrounding bird flocks effortlessly while continuously checking the gaming forums.

Through the forum, he saw a picture.

The player who took the screenshot must have been far from the battlefield, so the picture wasn’t very clear.

But if one zoomed in to take a closer look, one could see an elder kneeling on the black eagle’s head, his long spear pinning a man to the eagle’s head.

There were plenty more similar pictures and videos, oddly imbuing a sense of tragic valor.

Compared to the gigantic corpse of the eagle, this elder with flowing white hair seemed extraordinarily insignificant.

The players present on the scene were leaving constant comments on the forum, expressing their inner shock.

“This old man is still chopping! I can’t see him lifting his head anymore, he’s always been bowing it, but his left hand is still moving!”

“Long spear, kneeling, white hair, bowed head, ceaseless trembling of the left hand, it’s got to be a tear-jerker, damn!”

“I’m a Tianque Gate player, I just heard the master… oops! It was Sect Leader, he called him his ancestor!”

“The ancestor is awesome!”

Lu Xun’s eyes slightly narrowed, simultaneously hurrying towards the mountain top and marvelling in his mind.

There’s actually a hidden ancestor within the Tianque Gate?

In terms of strength, this Tianque Gate ancestor isn’t weak. At least in the entire Three Thousand Mountain Area, he could already be considered the strongest.

Following logic, having such an ancestor should be beneficial to the development of the Tianque Gate, but why would they hide him?

This was somewhat irrational.

“Unless… there’s something wrong with the ancestor himself!” Lu Xun immediately guessed something in his heart.

Not much later, he saw more revelations from Tianque Gate players on the forums.

This hidden plot from the Tianque Gate had been dug out by the players.

And the person who revealed this plot was the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Tianque Gate.

Lu Xun had an impression of this woman. She was quite short and looked like a grown-up Lolita.

She was the type who had reached the age where one could do certain things, but still remained in the Lolita stage in terms of height.

When Lu Xun entered the Tianque Gate, she was the captain of the Sect Guard Team, and had once asked Lu Xun with a love-struck face: “Who goes there?”

Being the daughter of the Sect Leader, she naturally knew of this situation.

She was so short because she’d once given a blood donation to Tianhe Shangren.

The Tianque Gate’s common Disciples merely followed her orders. Under these dire circumstances, she revealed the truth about the ancestor to boost morale.

Since the ancestor seemed to not have much longer, there was no point hiding anything anymore.

After the secret was revealed, the Tianque Gate’s Disciples and players were filled with battle spirit.

The Disciples were stirred because their ancestor had forcibly emerged from seclusion for their sake, fighting at the very front. Their emotions utterly exploded.

The gamers were so immersed in the game to have… gotten emotionally attached to the story.

After all, the game had only been officially released not long ago, and the players were still in the rookie phase. This was the first time they had come across a story-rich hidden plot.

Combined with the screenshots and videos they’d just seen, a lot of players were deeply moved.

Who doesn’t have an elder in their family?

Some players even thought of the elderly soldiers.

“Ancestor, don’t die!”

“Ancestor, don’t die!”

In an instant, the comment section was filled with “Ancestor, don’t die!”

Looking at the posts, Lu Xun fell silent.

This time, he really did owe a big favor to the Tianque Gate!

Within a blink, he raised his head.

“The pearl! The green pearl inside the Sword Sheath!” His eyes suddenly lit up.

Actually, the inn where Lu Xun stayed was very far from the Tianque Gate, on the other side of the Three Thousand Mountain Area.

Although he had been rushing all the way and was already close, he was decisive in using the Godspeed Talisman that his Third Senior Brother had given him.

Only to speed up!

Betwixt life and death, sometimes a second’s delay could mean goodbye forever!

After using the Godspeed Talisman, Lu Xun, riding on a paper crane, was like a streak of light in the sky!

This speed wasn’t inferior to that of a normal sixth-level Cultivator.

Lu Xun took out the Sword Sheath from his storage ring, then dispelled the Illusion Technique, reverting to his original appearance.

Many people saw the trail of a shooting star in the sky and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“What’s that?”

The people of the Tianque Gate were worried if it was the start of a second wave of attacks.

The players were thinking, isn’t it another big Boss?

Under everyone’s eyes, this streak of light descended onto the mountain top of the Tianque Gate like a meteor.

The prohibition set up on the mountain top by Tianhe Shangren had long been dismissed. Lu Xun landed on the black eagle corpse, and immediately the injured elders of the Tianque Gate rushed around him.

“Back off! I have a method we might try!” Lu Xun shouted.

Not every elder of the Tianque Gate knew about Lu Xun, but the Great Elder and the Second Elder had certainly been present that day.

They immediately recognized Lu Xun and quickly motioned for the others to dispersers and not disturb him, and they stood guarding by the side.

While Lu Xun might not have a high cultivation base, he was still the Young Elder of the Demon Sect, a disciple of the senior cultivator. He might possess a treasure or know some secret technique?

And the players close to this place recognised Lu Xun instantly.

“Purple Palace! It’s Purple Palace!”

“Damn! It’s really Purple Palace!”

“It’s actually Purple Palace who came!”

Lu Xun bowed his head, looking at the elderly man atop the giant eagle corpse.

The elder was no longer half-reclined; he had no strength left to support his own body.

He was on both knees, leaning forward, his head resting on the eagle corpse.

The night breeze blew, his full head of white hair fluttering in the wind.

He still held the long spear titled Lone Bravery loosely in his right hand, his left-hand fingers trembling slightly.

A faint swirl of Qi energy still circled his left fingertips, but this last bit of Qi was no longer enough to kill a bird.
