Demon Sect is one of the three major Demon Sects on Heavenly Dust Continent. The moment Lu Xun became the junior elder of the Demon Sect, his name spread throughout the entire Cultivation World.
So, the words “Demon Sect’s Lu Xun” hold great significance.
And his implied message is: “I am Demon Sect’s Lu Xun, have you heard of me?”
Mo Beipo isn’t exactly uninformed, he is the leader of a sect after all, how could he not have heard of the rumors.
Moreover, just a short while ago, the junior elder of the Demon Sect had profoundly defeated Ye Sui’an, whose possesses the Innate Sword Body talent. This news was all the rage in the Cultivation World!
However, Lu Xun of the Demon Sect rarely shows his face in the Cultivation World, so apart from the members of the Demon Sect, there are only a few cultivators who have seen his true face. So, it’s not easy to confirm his identity all at once.
We can’t just trust him because he says he is Lu Xun, right?
Most of the recent rumors about Lu Xun of the Demon Sect mainly come from the elite disciples of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.
According to the disciples of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, the most remarkable characteristic of Lu Xun is… his extraordinary good looks!
Even when compared to Ye Sui’an, who is known as the most handsome man in the West State, he is by no means inferior.
You should know, Ye Sui’an is extremely popular among the disciples of the two main Sword Sects, and they definitely favor him. Considering they stated both men are equally attractive, it suggests… Lu Xun must be even more handsome!
Secondly, according to the disciples of the two main Sword Sects, Lu Xun’s sword is extremely mysterious!
Even during the Sword Questioning process, no one has seen him unsheathe his sword!
He only holds the sword sheath in his hand.
Also, according to Ye Sui’an, Elder Lu is very kind.
He is generous with his teachings, and doesn’t put on airs.
Despite being decisive in his actions, he knows when to stop.
Although he seems indifferent, he has great aspirations.
He is humble in his dealings with others, but is absolutely a role model for all of us.
So, whenever Ye Sui’an returned to the mountains after an expedition, he would nonchalantly mention Lu Xun, and went off on run-on sentences the second he began to speak!
According to Ye Sui’an, Lu Xun seems to be his target and inspiration!
Elder Lu, I am far from matching his caliber!
Even the famous Ye Sui’an was deeply impressed after one Sword Questioning session, which lead to Lu Xun’s subtle but growing reputation as a leading figure among the younger generation.
Based on these rumors, the members of the Tianque Gate took another surreptitious glance at the man on the paper crane.
Yes, they were sneaky about it.
If he is really Lu Xun, given his status, he wouldn’t regard the entire Three Thousand Mountains Alliance, let alone a minor Tianque Gate alone, to be of any importance.
Because he has the whole Demon Sect backing him!
“Taking a closer look, this person is wearing a bamboo hat, but still gives a free, leisurely and out-of-the-world vibe.”
“He does indeed hold only a black sword sheath in his hand, not unsheathing the sword. This is consistent with the rumors.”
“Although there is a feeling of distance in his speech, he doesn’t talk arrogantly. Especially the indifferent tone gives people a right feeling.”
“And then, the large demon beside him looks like a kid… Hiss! Doesn’t that happen to be Mao Nanbei, the fourth disciple of the master, as mentioned in the rumors!?”
With all these observations, his identity seems to be confirmed!
And given his status, if he states that the female corpse is the murderer, despite how preposterous it seems to the members of Tianque Gate, they must treat it seriously!
“Gentlemen, please follow me to the main hall.” Mo Beipo hurriedly said.
Then, he signaled the elder beside him with his eyes to examine the female corpse later.
Regarding how to examine… the elder was a good hand.
As for conducting the autopsy in person, they definitely didn’t have the nerve anymore.
Though they doubted, they dared not do so publically.
When Lu Xun and the others came to the main hall with Mo Beipo, Mo Beipo hurriedly instructed his servants to fetch some Spirit Fruits, then personally brewed some Spiritual Tea.
Mo Beipo said, “Tianque Gate is not the same as the Demon Sect. If there is any neglect, please forgive us.”
Lu Xun waved his hand, indicating no problem, but thought to himself: “The Demon Sect isn’t as refined as you imagine…”
He came for the mysterious key, so he was very patient.
Mao Nanbei saw there was something to eat, and was no longer in a hurry.
She sat on a high chair eating a spirit fruit, swinging her little feet, and shared with Lin Chan: “Little Chan, try this, the taste is quite good.”
Lin Chan nodded and obediently started eating.
Before long, several elders from Tianque Gate walked in, and after a slight nod towards Mo Beipo, they confirmed that it was indeed the murderer!
Mo Beipo had once severely injured this avenger, so it would be safe to assume that the sect still had some of his fresh blood and other such stuff lingering around. It would be easy to verify his identity.
It would be possible to confirm his identity with a hundred percent certainty through other channels.
“No wonder we from the Tianque Gate searched so hard but couldn’t find him, I never thought, I never thought…” Mo Beipo stood up and was at a loss for words for a moment.
He bowed deeply in the direction of Lu Xun and said, “The major vengeance is avenged, I am overwhelmed with gratitude!”
Lu Xun put down his teacup and said, “Master Mo, you don’t need to be so courteous, it was just a minor effort.”
Yes, my language must maintain the grandeur of the young elder of the Demon Sect. I can’t show that I came for the reward!
Yes, it was just a minor effort. I was just the embodiment of justice.
Indeed, based on different identities, the same thing can give a different impression to people.
If it was a lower-rank loose cultivator, it would be for the reward.
But for someone like Lu Xun, people naturally wouldn’t feel he came for the reward. He wouldn’t be interested in this reward!
Having avenged his son’s death, Mo Beipo was somewhat emotional and didn’t forget to give an elder a look.
The elder got up immediately, made an excuse, and left the main hall of the Tianque Gate.
Lu Xun knew well what was going on—this character was retrieving the mythical key for him.
However, something else caught Lu Xun’s eye.
This Tianque Gate is strange—there are a lot of dwarfs.
To put it more bluntly, there’s quite a number of dwarfs in this sect.
Mo Beipo was a dwarf himself, his daughter was a dwarf, and at least one-third of his disciples were dwarves!
“Is there something wrong with the cultivation method of Tianque Gate?” Lu Xun wondered.
But this was their private matter, and Lu Xun wouldn’t ask.
He only felt there was something off about it.
It didn’t take long for the elder who had left to return, and in his hand was a piece of soft armor.
“Inferior Blue Equipment?” Lu Xun took a glance, and a thought flashed across his mind.
What the heck! Why isn’t it the Superior Yellow Armor!
He quickly figured out the reason—it’s because his status was too elevated!
“So, it’s because I’m too awesome!”
The grand young elder of the Demon Sect sticks his neck out to help the tiny Tianque Gate avenge their grudges. If all they offered up was a single Superior Magical Weapon at the end, it just wouldn’t cut it.
Especially for the Tianque Gate, they might bleed a little more, but using this opportunity to associate with Lu Xun and leave a great impression on him, wouldn’t that be worth it?
That’s actually the main point!
They wouldn’t believe the young elder of the Demon Sect would care that much about an Inferior Spiritual Artifact, but it’s all about the attitude, you got it?
Thus they silently exchanged the Superior Magical Weapon for an Inferior Spiritual Artifact, just for a change in attitude.
The Inferior Blue Equipment might be of negligible importance to the Demon Sect, but to the Tianque Gate it’s a generous gift. As long as they show good intent, they would be able to leave a good impression.
If a good impression is made at the first interaction, future meetings will only become easier.
If they can successfully connect with the Demon Sect… oh my, the future development of the sect will be so much smoother!
Oh, our Tianque Gate is awesome!
