Chapter 327: 327, [Cat Says] (Third update, 4200 word chapter asking for monthly ticket)

One Sword Mountain, Hidden Sword Peak.

Ping Shanhai sat on the roof of a straw hut, placing the Divine Sword flat on his lap, focusing his breath with closed eyes.

Soon, he received a transmitted secret message.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, held the Divine Sword, transformed into a light trail, and flew towards the outside of the West State boundary.

“The Boundary Monument has flown away?” At first, Ping Shanhai thought this sentence was like a bad joke.

But he knew in his heart that the stationed disciples would neither joke about such a thing, nor dare to tell such an outrageous lie.

Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi had always speculated, thinking that there might be a strand of the residual soul of Sword Mountain Elder in the Boundary Monument.

And because of this, it would choose heirs and give proper Sword Cultivators the Sword Dao inheritance!

This speculation was indirectly confirmed after Lu Xun entered the Boundary Monument last time.

Lu Xun said that his biggest gain was making a friend in the Boundary Monument.

Isn’t this solid evidence?

And because of this, when he heard that the Boundary Monument had flown away, his first reaction was shock and disbelief. After thinking about it, he found it acceptable, and he felt that this incident might be hiding some deep meanings of the elder.

Logical, well-founded…

Therefore, whether it’s the fact itself that the Boundary Monument flew away, or for understanding the elder’s profound meaning, he needed to go and preside over it himself as soon as possible.

One person was not enough, so he also immediately activated a Sword Mark.

In an instant, several rays of light flew out from the peaks of One Sword Mountain.

The great cultivators of One Sword Mountain, over half of them quickly followed Ping Shanhai and flew quickly towards the outside of West State!

And the same thing was happening on Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, adjacent to One Sword Mountain.

Ping Shanhai had not flown out of Hidden Sword Peak for long before he saw Qian Zhengyi flying towards him.

The two looked at each other and continued to push forward at the fastest speed without any hesitation!

And behind them, there were a large number of sword lights!

This grand scene was not commonly seen in West State.

These people together could even flatten the entire Lost Forest!

At the Lost Forest, Lu Xun controlled the paper crane to land next to the deep pit and asked, “Are you okay?”

Lin Chan and Ji Li looked puzzled, not knowing who Lu Xun was talking to.

They were still shocked by the sudden fall of the Boundary Monument and hadn’t recovered yet.

How could the West State Boundary Monument just fall from the sky?

And it just happened to fall on this monster!

If you say it wasn’t coming to save them, no one would believe it!

At this moment, Dida’s slightly weak voice echoed in Lu Xun’s mind: “I…I’m okay…it’s dangerous there…I can’t cross there…”

Dida seemed just a little weak, but its words made Lu Xun’s pupils constrict.

Here it was quite a distance from where Mao Nanbei was, but Dida’s sensing range was obviously wide, and it must have sensed the crisis there!

Without saying a word, Lu Xun quickly took Lin Chan and Ji Li off the paper crane and ascended quickly. The Spiritual Energy within his body flowed as he shouted loudly, “Fourth Sister! Come this way!”

He was sure that the people of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain must be flying here. Safety was basically guaranteed.

As long as Mao Nanbei hurried over here, the two groups should meet in the middle of the road.

Then she would be safe.

But the bad thing was, he received no reply from Mao Nanbei.

Lu Xun’s heart tightened, and his body tensed.

After seeing the two sword lights flying in the distance, he didn’t say a word, just flew towards Mao Nanbei’s direction.

Meanwhile, he was roaring, “Help!!!”

The ones who arrived here were the two elders from the Boundary Monument.

“How are Lu Xun and the others here?” They were both taken aback.

Subsequently, they saw the boundary monument below, with the beast lying dead and a massive pit!

Their minds could hardly keep up with the trend of events.

Especially when Lu Xun saw them, he immediately flew in another direction, shouting, “Save people!”

What was going on?

However, fortunately, the two of them were seasoned Great Cultivators. Throughout their journey, they had encountered many unexpected and urgent situations.

They knew very well that at critical moments, one could not afford to think or ponder.

You must act!

The identities of Lu Xun and his group were also unique, with no room for loss.

So, in an instant, the two elders made up their minds.

The elder from Ten Thousand Sword Mountain stayed to watch the boundary monument, while the elder from One Sword Mountain quickly pursued the direction Lu Xun had flown.

In the distance, Yin Tian’s left pupil was still flashing with a strange purple light.

He swung his scythe relentlessly, and his expression turned from bloodthirsty to grave.

He could see the “Daytime Meteor” from his vantage point.

Although he did not know what it was, he knew in his heart that something had gone wrong!

Sure enough, the next moment, he sensed that his magical beast lost its life in an instant!

Amidst sorrow and anger, he knew that a swift conclusion was necessary.

The meteor had just come from the direction of West State, and he wasn’t stupid. He knew that this anomaly would surely attract the attention of the sword cultivators from West State.

It might even be the sword cultivators from West State themselves who intervened!

“This is not a place to stay for long,” he thought to himself.

But he felt a bit regretful about leaving just like that.

Because Mao Nanbei, who was in front of his eyes, was already at her limit.

The power of the [Immortal Talisman] had been depleted long ago, and now, the [Immortal Talisman] was operating by consuming Mao Nanbei’s spiritual power.

Although she was a sixth-stage cultivator, the horrifying [Immortal Talisman] was extremely draining on spiritual power. With her cultivation level, she could not hold on for much longer.

Mao Nanbei was now in a state of exhaustion, not just of spiritual power and divine sense!

She was becoming somewhat chaotic, unconscious.

She was taking actions based on her instincts, or maybe the will that was barely left.

She was stubbornly blocking the front, not letting Yin Tian approach the direction where Lu Xun was.

Little Junior Brother … I got this …

I made a promise, I will always take care of my Little Junior Brother …

The golden characters revolving around her were now only a thin layer, dimly illuminating, as if they could dissipate at any moment.

“Just a few moments, she can only hold on for a few more moments!” Yin Tian thought to himself.

Gradually, he licked his bloody lips, and his expression became somewhat crazed.

He knew very well that he was a pawn chosen by the [Second Priest].

His mission was to kill the disciple, regardless of the cost, even if it was his own life!

He could be a discarded piece.

This was his mission.

If so, why should he retreat?

All he had to do was break through the thin layer of characters, and with one swing of the scythe in his hand, he could easily take Mao Nanbei’s life.

At that time, even if the sword cultivators of West State rushed here, he could only face death.

As long as the mission was completed, it would be worth it!

The black scythe traced a strange curve in the air, breaking through the space and once again hitting the shield produced by the [Immortal Talisman].

The shield emanated by the characters flashed, like a candle in the wind, seemingly ready to extinguish at any moment.

At this moment, Lu Xun’s voice kept coming through.

Mao Nanbei could no longer hear clearly, but Yin Tian could hear it loud and clear.

He could sense that Lu Xun was getting closer.

And someone else was moving even faster than Lu Xun!

The newcomer had a cultivation base at the peak of the sixth realm!

Yin Tian didn’t think his opponent was a match for him, but dealing with a cultivator at the peak of the sixth realm would take some time.

Moreover, after careful sensing, he found another cultivator at the peak of the sixth realm in the distance!

At this distance, by the time he dealt with the sword cultivator who was speeding towards him, the latter could reach here for backup.

The worst thing was that, if he was held back by these two, the people of West State would surely rush over here!

Damn it, his meticulous plan that was foolproof, was completely ruined by some thing that fell from the sky out of nowhere!

Fortunately, the next moment, he swung his scythe forward and directly shattered the Immortal Talisman.

Yin Tian’s eyes brightened, his face twisted with ferocity, and without any hesitation, like a real Grim Reaper, he started harvesting the fresh life in front of him!

The surrounding space twisted instantly, and the dark light seemed to devour everything.

Just as it was about to touch Mao Nanbei’s petite body, Yin Tian was not sure if he was hearing things, but he faintly heard a cat’s cry.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, clearly, it was a cat’s cry, but he felt an irresistible majesty from it!

Like a human deity!

A huge but hazy black shadow spread out from Mao Nanbei.

It was somewhat blurry, like a large swath of black smoke.

The only clear thing was that pair of eyes!

The majesty in the eyes gave a feeling of inviolability.

And in the pupils, there was a mark of nine flames converging together.

Among them, five flames were semi-transparent, and the remaining four were burning fiercely.

At this moment, one of the four burning flames was spreading outwards.

The black flame exploded in the air, not only blocking Yin Tian’s aggression but also sending him flying in reverse!

This flame was comparable to a full-strength blow from a cultivator at the peak of the seventh realm!

“No! This is a power that should belong to the eighth level!” Yin Tian endured the intense pain in his body and came to a conclusion in his heart.

Up to this point, his entire right arm had been torn clean off, with even the bone turned into dust.

He was very clear, this was not any magical weapon, nor was it any talisman.

This was a mysterious power, a power far beyond his realm!

At this moment, an Elder of One Sword Mountain had flown over and, without hesitation, had deployed his flying sword.

Yin Tian grabbed his scythe with his remaining left hand and deflected the sword light.

He watched the shadow that dissipated in the air like black fog and the incredibly strange flame, a crazed smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Despite his heavy injuries, he was wrestling with the Elder of One Sword Mountain while forcefully closing his left eye.

The next moment, his purple eyes burst open.

A thin but sharp purple light shot towards Mao Nanbei, who was falling continuously to the ground!

Without the protection of the shadow that was like black mist, Mao Nanbei was undoubtedly doomed to die!

“No good!” The Elder from One Sword Mountain threw out a green square-shaped cloth.

This magical weapon blocked the purple light, but it was penetrated by it!

Although the purple light was greatly weakened, it still flew towards the direction where Mao Nanbei was falling.

There was no place to dodge!

A black figure arrived at Mao Nanbei’s side just in time.

It was Lu Xun.

He caught Mao Nanbei in his arms, with Pink Ink swirling around him.

Without thinking about anything, he directly held Mao Nanbei tightly in his arms and used his own body to protect her.

Without even considering whether he could withstand the attack.

The purple light first pierced the paper crane, then shattered Lu Xun’s sword intent and “Pink Ink”, leaving a wound on Lu Xun’s back where the bone was visible.

While it wasn’t lethal, it was still a frightening sight.

Without the paper crane, Lu Xun, who wasn’t a great cultivator, couldn’t fly.

Moreover, his spiritual power was exhausted. Even if he retrieved another paper crane from his storage ring, he wouldn’t be able to activate it.

This way, he fell from the sky, cradling Mao Nanbei’s petite body in his arms.

With a body comparable to a “Superior Spirit Sword”, he knew he wouldn’t die.

While falling, he roared in pain, “Fourth Sister! Mao Nanbei! Mao Nanbei!”

Mao Nanbei, whom he was holding tightly, had already become extremely unconscious.

“Bang!”

Lu Xun’s already injured back hit the ground hard, leaving a deep pit.

He heard the sound of his bones breaking. After a groan, he felt the endless pain coming from his body.

In such a situation, he still held Mao Nanbei tightly, protecting her as much as he could.

Just like when Mao Nanbei was protecting him.

“Fourth Sister…” Although Lu Xun was weak, he didn’t stop speaking.

Lu Xun clearly saw that there was a new black flame mark on Mao Nanbei’s forehead.

The mark was composed of nine flames.

Of these, six flames had become half-transparent, and three were burning like real flames!

This mark only lasted for a few seconds before it disappeared as if it had never existed.

At such a close distance, Mao Nanbei, who was semi-conscious, seemed to finally hear Lu Xun’s words.

“Lit…Little junior brother…” Her voice was very soft, her tone very weak.

“It’s me! Fourth sister, it’s me!” Lu Xun tried his best to shout loudly, bearing the pain from his body.

After hearing Lu Xun’s words, it seemed like Mao Nanbei felt reassured.

Lu Xun, holding her, could clearly feel that she was “shrinking”.

Mao Nanbei’s black robe gradually became loose.

Underneath the black robe, she transformed back into a small black kitten.

Her eyes were closed, but thankfully her breathing was steady, almost like she was asleep.

As Lu Xun looked at her, tears welled up in his eyes.

He didn’t know if it was because of the pain, or for some other reason.

Before Mao Nanbei fell asleep, Lu Xun faintly heard a sentence.

In fact, as a senior sister, Mao Nanbei had her own ideas.

Like every time before Lu Xun descended the mountain, third senior brother would give him spirit stones, and second senior sister also gave him sword Qi, and even trained him through being enveloped in sword intent.

But she always seemed to just be causing trouble, and only asked Lu Xun to make food for her.

These two times she went down the mountain with Lu Xun, besides not wanting to be apart from Lu, she really wanted to protect him.

That was the only thing she could do.

She remembered it very clearly, each time third senior brother gave Lu Xun spirit stones, even though Lu Xun verbally declined, and physically declined as well, his smile was radiant.

She could see that little junior brother loved money! Humph!

But she had no money.

All her money was given by third senior brother. Even giving it to little junior brother seems like giving flowers on behalf of another, it means nothing.

Mao Nanbei knew clearly, that Lu Xun treated her very well.

But she was the senior sister, she was the elder!

She also wanted to protect little junior brother.

Therefore, the last thing she said to Lu Xun before she fell unconscious was:

“I don’t have money, but a cat has nine lives, sister… sister gives you one…”
