Chapter 421: 421, [Second Sister, Breaking through the barrier] (Seeking monthly tickets at the end of the month!)
Back mountain, small bamboo forest.

Mao Nanbei, who had returned to her peak and even made a small breakthrough, was in an expansive mood.

She stealthily came to the bamboo forest and made a surprise attack on the slender Taoist nun who was sitting on a huge rock.

“Your… your aura is exposed.” The second elder sister sitting on the rock commented casually.

Then, she lifted her right hand, the delicate and fair fingers enough to drive hand fetishists crazy gently hooked upwards, and a stream of spiritual energy wrapped up Mao Nanbei.

Mao Nanbei, in the sixth realm, was considered a great master in any sect of the Heavenly Dust Continent. But she was nothing in front of the second sister.

With a casual wave of her hand, Mao Nanbei couldn’t break free from the bindings of the spiritual energy.

After struggling for a while, the young girl simply gave up struggling, with her cheeks bulging in anger, and her face chubby. She let the energy carry her up and slowly flew towards Gu Xiaoman on the rock.

When she had flown to the slender nun, Gu Xiaoman lifted her slender index finger and gently touched Mao Nanbei’s forehead, cleverly breaking her transformation.

Having reverted back to the little black cat, Mao Nanbei nestled on her second sister’s lap, enjoying the softness beneath her, and the sensation of her fingers stroking her fur.

She did not struggle symbolically this time. In fact, she specifically came to be petted.

Because she was preparing to go down the mountain to find Lu Xun, it was equivalent to saying goodbye to the second sister.

“Are… are you planning to descend the mountain?” The second elder sister continued to gently stroke the smooth cat fur while asking in her cold voice.

“Yes, to find my little junior brother! Mew～” Mao Nanbei turned over, lying sideways on the second sister’s lap, one of her little hind legs subtly raised, the posture wasn’t graceful but it was cute.

“Wait… Just wait.” The stuttering second sister said the word “wait” several times in her cold voice.

“Huh?” Upon hearing these words, Mao Nanbei turned over again, facing Gu Xiaoman belly up.

Looking at the big baffled eyes of the small black cat, the second elder sister had a very faint smile on her face: “Wait… wait for a few days.”

At these words, Mao Nanbei’s cat ears immediately perked straight up.

“Second sister, are you about to make a breakthrough?” Mao Nanbei’s tone rose, she was happy for her.

The second sister had been enclosed in this bamboo forest for many years.

She was already in seclusion here before Lu Xun started his apprenticeship in the back mountain.

On the whole back mountain, aside from Lu Xun, Mao Nanbei was closest to the second sister, hence, she was suddenly excited.

The slender Taoist nun in the black robe nodded slightly, replying: “Just… just now.”

The wooden hairpin on the second sister’s hair bun suddenly fell off and flew in front of her.

A head of black hair scattered and draped over her shoulders, making her cold face more gentle and soft.

As soon as her words fell, the spiritual energy within a radius of several miles surged and was then rapidly drained away in an instant!

If she passed this trial, she would have achieved Great Perfection in the Sword Cultivating Technique.

…

…

On the other hand, outside of Blooming City.

Lu Xun, the “Quick Blade Slicing Through Chaos”, was wielding his scythe.

Ohh~ All you mature leeks, bring your heads over here real quick!

Today is his third day of “preaching” outside Blooming City.

Compared to the previous two days, today could be described as packed with people.

“I can’t help it, my charm is too powerful.” Lu Xun is quite satisfied with his popularity.

Don’t assume that all these players gathered here are here to learn skills. Quite a few of them just wanted to see the legendary Purple Palace.

At the same time, many players who have already learned skills inexplicably hesitated to leave.

What can you do? People just love being in on the action.

The most bustling area around Blooming City was here now.

With so many people gathered, it won’t be boring at all.

Chat, shoot the breeze, and the day quickly passed.

Quick Blade! A large crowd is a Quick Blade!

Originally, Blooming City was a small town. Although the peach grove outside the city had a nice view, it was rarely visited. But now, it’s full of players, with quite a few players squatting in the trees like monkeys.

Of course, Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao appeared here every day as well.

They had learned skills at a low cost early on, learning the best and strongest one, “Thousand Autumns.” But there was nothing to do in the city, so it was better to come out and see what was happening outside.

They hadn’t returned because they missed the Purple Palace!

And Lu Xun was still using the mode from the first day, selecting players in the crowd to teach skills and avoiding those who annoyed him.

While reaping, the great Demon King Lu Xun suddenly saw six familiar little heads.

“Huh, aren’t these the six… the sword-serving children under my care?” Lu Xun was a little surprised.

At the back of the crowd, Mo Guanji and the others were pushing their way forward.

“Make way, make way.” Wang Gangtie, a muscle man over two meters tall was opening a path like a tank.

“Ooh! What hit me? It’s so hard!” A player, whose gender was ambiguous, with knock-kneed legs, voiced out.

This player turned around and saw Wang Gangtie’s face, which was peculiarly unattractive when created, like a tough and ugly man. His breath hit the player’s face, and from this angle, they could even see his thick and masculine nostril hair. The player’s face suddenly turned green, and they started to feel dizzy.

The love tank, whoever it hits, faints.

This player immediately ran off, still knock-kneed, running while resisting the urge to vomit.

Wang Gangtie touched his big head, for a moment, he was a little confused.

Regardless, let’s continue opening up a path!

“Excuse me, can everyone move aside, please!”

With the aid of humanoid tanks, the Sword-Serving Children quickly pushed their way to the front.

Many players initially wanted to curse them out, but upon recognizing their identities, they chose to stay silent.

They had no choice, after all, there were quite a few popular professional players among them, and what’s more, they were the six cherished pupils of the Purple Palace, they had connections!

“Young Elder!” They all came up to Lu Xun and chorused.

Lu Xun looked at them, nodding calmly, and bestowed them with a gentle smile, granting them face.

Upon witnessing Lu Xun’s smile, they felt that all the hardships of recent days were worth it!

They had been trying to find Lu Xun in West State based on the information posted on forums.

The awkward part was that every time they arrived somewhere, Lu Xun had already left the day before.

Hence, these past few days have passed in a constant state of near misses.

Luckily, they eventually ran into him!

Not far away, Xiao Long Bao watched the Sword-Serving Children, their faces beaming with dumbstruck smiles, and whispered into Lu Xiaoyu’s ear:

“Little Fish, the female player who has tied pigtails, Cai Jiangjiang, is quite pretty. I heard that she is not only a professional player but also a popular female live streamer. There are plenty of boys in our school who are smitten by her!”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyu raised her head for a glance at Cai Jiangjiang, but didn’t utter a word.

Her right index finger unconsciously clenched her sword sheath, and her face didn’t reveal any emotion.

Despite being somewhat surprised by the sudden arrival of the Sword-Serving Children, Lu Xun remained composed.

No excitement, nor rejection.

He continued to teach skills, and the total experience points on his character panel had already crossed the impressive 20 million mark!

He didn’t rush to level up, instead choosing to save his experience points for future needs.

Just then, Lu Xun suddenly paused, lost in his thoughts for a moment.

The good thing was all the players’ attention was captured by another event, and seeing Lu Xun’s expression quickly returned to its calm demeanor, nobody noticed.

At this moment, a system notification appeared before all the players, including Lu Xun.

The notification was from the mainline task—”Foreign Invasion”!

“Ding! The second wave of the foreign race is about to commence.”

“Countdown 10:00.”

The familiar ten-minute countdown once again!

After so many days, the second wave of the foreign invasion finally arrived!

Close to ten thousand players present couldn’t help but rub their hands together in anticipation.

…

…

Within a small altar on a hillside located over ten miles away from Blooming City, a foreign woman was watching as a three-eyed statue suddenly started shaking and a smile started to form on her face.

At this moment, the elongated eyes of the three-eyed statue were gleaming with a strange and seductive light.

The runes around the altar started flickering as parts of the altar started moving and rotating.

“Crack Crack Crack——”

After a series of sounds, the three-eyed statue radiated a bright black light!

The black light seemed capable of devouring everything and was filled with boundless evil energy!

This altar had been successfully repaired by the foreign race woman half a month earlier.

This was a damaged altar left from Ancient Times, and now it was being used for summoning for the first time.

This was considered to be a significant achievement for her!

Endless joy was visible on her face, and her reddish eyes curved into crescents with delight.

With each passing second, when the ten minute countdown was about to end, her figure vanished from the altar.

Due to special reasons, the altar wasn’t able to accommodate too many foreign races, therefore, the foreigners would directly descend far away from the altar.

This method also kept the exact location of the altar a secret.

Seeing that it was about time, she felt it was time to go welcome the newcomers.

When she arrived at the location, space started distorting, and soon after, she saw an army of foreigners numbering in the thousands!

The man leading the foreigners was handsome with a tall figure and flowing purple hair draped over his shoulders, making him seem exotic.

The man was exceptionally shrewd and handsome.

With a standard villainous charm, he was the kind of man whose appearance made fangirls lose their sense of morality.

The foreign woman’s eyes lit up; she was somewhat mesmerized.

This foreign man had a pair of purple eyes matching the color of his hair, infinite charm hidden in the depths of his pupils.

He gestured towards the foreign woman, who then walked over in a daze.

With a deep voice, the foreign man asked, “Tell me about the nearby conditions you are aware of.”

“Ma… Master, there’s only a small city nearby called Blooming City. There aren’t many Cultivators, not more than a hundred for sure, Master will most certainly be able to destroy them effortlessly!” The foreign woman hastily replied.

She was aware of the surroundings, Blooming City was too small with a definite population of less than a hundred Cultivators.

Furthermore, there were no Sects around.

The enchanting man grabbed his long purple hair, raised his eyebrow slightly, and looked at her, then behind at his army, and said:

“Less than a hundred? That’s good, you’ve done well.”

…

(PS: This is the second update, the double monthly ticket event has started! I am begging for monthly tickets! It’s the end of the month, the last ranking battle, hoping we can secure a spot in the top ten for our glory!)
