Chapter 471: 471, [Mysterious Turtle and Leaving the Clan] (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Lu Xun’s conversation with his master ended after a quarter of an hour.
The master did not tell Lu Xun when he planned to visit the world of the foreign race, nor did he tell Lu Xun how he needed to cooperate.
He only mentioned that he was waiting for the right moment.
What Lu Xun was most concerned about was the safety of his master.
Even though the master’s strength was somewhat unbelievable, having even “consumed” a part of the Heavenly Dao, he was, after all, facing a foreign race deity of much higher status than a cultivator.
As to his disciples worrying about his safety, the master merely smiled slightly, casually saying, “One can only know who will win or lose after the fight.”
His expression seemed somewhat relaxed, as if he did not take this matter to heart.
“Little Five, be assured. While the result is unpredictable, he can’t kill me.” The master waved his hand as a gesture, indicating that Lu Xun needn’t worry so much.
After receiving such a response from his master, Lu Xun was finally able to calm down.
After parting ways, Lu Xun returned to the Small Study, while the master left for the foothills of the Demon Sect Burial Mountain.
The wooden door of the small cottage at the foot of the mountain was slowly pushed open, and Elder Gui briskly walked out to greet the master at his fastest speed.
The master looked at the slow and mute old man with a hint of disdain and resignation in his eyes.
The master had already grown accustomed to this. Having lived together as master and servant for who knows how many years, they had developed their unique way of getting along.
—Just bear with it.
“Little Gui, the day I spoke to you about before should be coming soon.” The master said indifferently.
Elder Gui paused for a moment, then a shocked expression gradually appeared in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.
After maintaining this expression for a few seconds, the shock on Elder Gui’s face slowly faded, replaced by a look of relief and relaxation, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
As the master’s old servant, he was very clear about how long the master had been waiting for this opportunity and how much the master had sacrificed along the way.
He was the last Black Turtle on the Heavenly Dust Continent, blessed with an endless lifespan. Upon cultivation, his lifespan increased even more.
Only he had consistently accompanied the master, witnessing everything that the master had done.
Of course, there was no other choice. It was not that others were unwilling to accompany the master, but that he was simply too long-lived.
It’s not that we’re unwilling, it’s because our lifespan does not permit it!
The master placed his hands behind his back, looking up at the cloud-shrouded Burial Mountain.
The Cloud and Fog Array covering the mountain naturally could not affect the master. He was able to see through it all at a glance, clearly seeing the tombstones and lost magical weapons on the mountain.
Included were some new graves.
The arrival of the foreign race resulted in considerable casualties for the Demon Sect.
In the eyes of the master and Elder Gui, these two old fellows, all these people were no more than children.
The master withdrew his gaze, looked at the mute old man, and said, “Little Gui, after I leave, the affairs that follow will be left to you.”
The mute old man nodded his head, then pointed inward, as if expressing something.
Seeing this, the master smiled and said, “I know, in the eyes of your Black Turtle Clan, everything you own is given by Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth have granted you innate longevity, the longest among all beings. Therefore, you always regard the guarding of Heaven and Earth as your duty.”
As the master said this, he couldn’t help but sigh, saying, “It’s also because of this that the Black Turtle Clan, which could otherwise live as long as Heaven and Earth, has since its birth till now, never met a good end.”
Hearing this, the mute old man didn’t seem to care at all, not showing any heaviness or sadness, but just had a silly smile on his face.
It was as if everything was just as it should be in his eyes.
…
…
Thus, this not so peaceful night passed.
The second senior sister returned to the back mountain just before dawn, not resting, she simply led Ji Li and Lin Chan to the small bamboo forest to meditate as soon as the sky became bright.
Lu Xun was woken up by Mao Nanbei, who mischievously sat her little butt onto Lu Xun’s face, leaving him utterly confused.
Many household pets love to do this action; Lu Xun never thought he would experience such a thing.
In revenge, he decided not to make dessert for Mao Nanbei today, to show her that girls shouldn’t put their derriere towards a man’s face. There would be consequences beyond your imagination!
Just as he stepped out of the Small Study, Lu Xun saw several streaks of light landed at the entrance of the Small Study, which turned out to be Shen Yan and several Peak Masters.
It was quite rare to have so many people coming to the Small Study at once. The last time they all came together was during the New Year.
“Greetings to Young Master Uncle, greetings to Fourth Master Uncle,” everyone bowed.
Lu Xun nodded and said with a smile, “Sect Master, esteemed Peak Masters, why are you here so early today?”
The voluptuously figured and charming Luo Wanqiu said, “Young Master Uncle, the Master informed us last night that the Foreign Race is likely to invade heavily next. We came this morning to say our farewells.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun understood.
The Demon Sect’s Eastern Region didn’t have a Foreign Race Altar, people in the Demon Sect usually travelled around the continent for support.
The third wave of the Foreign Race’s arrival could potentially put the situation in grave danger. This is a calamity of heaven and earth, the Demon Sect can’t remain aloof; the whole continent must unite in order to face it together.
Under such circumstances, their farewells were quite reasonable.
After all… they weren’t going out for social visits, but going to fight a battle.
Lu Xun looked at them and said with a smile, “You all arrived just in time, huh?”
He was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.
“Ha-ha, we brothers are indeed a bit greedy,” Shen Ludan admitted generously that they also intended to mooch a meal.
“Well then, you’d better wait here…” Lu Xun walked into the kitchen with Mao Nanbei, ready to show off his cooking skills.
In addition to cooking some porridge, he also made egg pancakes and personally prepared a secret sauce and some side dishes for the porridge.
It wasn’t lavish, but the taste was excellent.
The dining spot was still the small bamboo forest at the back of the mountain, with so many people sitting together, it felt lively as a large family.
During the meal, nobody brought up serious topics, they simply talked about some entertaining incidents, and praised Lu Xun’s culinary skills.
After the meal, except for Shen Yan, the rest of the Peak Masters stood up one after another to bid farewell to the Master and Lu Xun.
As the Sect Master, Shen Yan still had to stay in the Eastern Region.
Although there were no Foreign Race Altars in the Eastern Region, they couldn’t leave the Sect empty-handed. Someone had to guard their home, what if someone stole from the Sect?
The Peak Masters each led the Demon Sect disciples to each continent, while the smaller areas would be led by the Demon Sect Elders.
When they were about to leave, Lu Xun thought for a moment and said, “Let me accompany you all a bit further.”
He accompanied the Peak Masters all the way to the outside of Lead Peak.
“Young Master Uncle, you don’t need to come any further, if you do, I won’t be able to resist taking you to the Central Continent,” Luo Wanqiu said with a teasing smile.
Lu Xun laughed along, then turned serious, “The Foreign Race’s arrival this time is likely to be more severe than the previous two times combined. Everyone, please be careful.”
“We will do as you say,” everyone responded solemnly.
They were all people who’d weathered storms and knew what to do.
They all had good attitudes, acted carefully, and paid attention to the details.
Before leaving the Demon Sect, Luo Wanqiu turned to Shen Yan and said with a smile, “Brother Shen, you better not forget our agreement.”
“Humph! Like I could forget,” Shen Yan retorted, eyes glaring sharply.
“Great! Ha-ha-ha-ha!” After bowing to Lu Xun once more, the Peak Masters transformed into streaks of light, laughing as they flew towards the various continents.
Lu Xun hovered in the air, watching them fly away before turning to Shen Yan with a smile, “Sect Master, just what is the agreement that Peak Master Luo mentioned?”
Lu Xun was slightly curious. Why were they laughing so heartily?
