Chapter 170: Yao Xing, the Foreign Tribe Stirs

"Lu Xun, tell me honestly, do you know who hired these assassins?"

"Lu Xun still couldn't hide it from Fu Xue."

"She figured it out."

"Lu Xun has encountered quite a few assassins these days."

"Wave after wave."

"These assassins keep getting stronger."

"Although these three Fusang assassins are all Fourth Realm, they cannot be regarded as ordinary Fourth Realm."

"If it weren't Lu Xun this time, even a Fourth Realm peak grandmaster would probably be done for."

"Their assassination methods are too superb, and they have plenty of trump cards."

"Especially the final poison."

"That is the true assassin's mace."

"According to the plan envisioned by these three assassins, if they truly cannot win, they can feign retreat and wait for Lu Xun to be poisoned before striking back."

"But they didn't expect Lu Xun to be so formidable, with so many methods, that they couldn't even withdraw."

"That poison is indeed potent."

"Lu Xun remained unharmed thanks to the Chaos Divine Body."

"After being poisoned, Lu Xun had a sudden idea and tried using Chaos Cells to absorb the toxins in his body."

"Then he succeeded."

"All the toxins were sealed by him into a Chaos Cell."

"Lu Xun thus had no trouble at all."

"This discovery let Lu Xun successfully discover a new continent."

"Thus."

"Wouldn't he then be immune to all poisons?"

"No matter what toxin, just seal it directly into a Chaos Cell."

"Next time he encounters Chu Youqing or Murong Wan poisoning him, Lu Xun won't be afraid."

"In fact, when Murong Wan poisoned him the second time, Lu Xun could have used this method, but he didn't know it then."

"\"Teacher, so many people dislike me, I really don't know who wants to kill me. \""

"Lu Xun feigned ignorance."

"If he now told Fu Xue it was the He family, given Fu Xue's temperament, she might very well bring him to attack their door."

"But that wouldn't help."

"Even if Fu Xue were more domineering, she could not possibly wipe out the He family directly."

"Moreover, the He family repeatedly attacks him; relying on Fu Xue for revenge would ultimately not be satisfactory."

"He must regain this situation himself."

"Even if he can't regain it now, waiting a bit longer will do."

"The He family are merely two Fifth Realm grandmasters!"

"Lu Xun's magic has already reached the Fifth Realm."

"If he can gain a harvest in this Ancient Road Node, it will allow Chu Youqing and Murong Wan's cultivation to breakthrough again."

"His strength will inevitably see a new round of growth."

"\"You're not telling the truth. \""

"Fu Xue exposed Lu Xun."

"\"Teacher, I want to handle this matter myself; besides, I like the way they dislike me but can't get rid of me—it's exhilarating. \""

"Lu Xun no longer denied it."

"\"Alright, I'm going into the Rainbow Bridge; you be careful, and try not to leave the school afterward. \""

"Fu Xue stopped pressing."

"\"Mm! \""

"Lu Xun nodded."

"Fu Xue left."

"\"Good disciple, I give you this key; if after a year I, as your master, have not returned, my villa will be entrusted to you. \""

"After Fu Xue left, Fei Tai'a handed Lu Xun a key."

"\"Master, where are you going? \""

"Lu Xun felt a sense of foreboding."

"Fei Tai'a is arranging his aftereffects."

"\"Yao Xing. \""

"Fei Tai'a said."

"\"Ah? Yao Xing has appeared again? \""

"Fei Tai'a is going to Yao Xing?"

"Yao Xing... it is an extraordinarily terrifying spirit star, upon which exists an extremely powerful demon tribe."

"Lan Xing encountered it once over a decade ago at an Ancient Road Node, suffering heavy losses."

"Even the demon, winged, shadow, and blood clans are somewhat afraid of Yao Xing."

"Some say Yao Xing advances by leaps, sometimes even retracing its path; its overall strength far exceeds that of several spirit stars collided together."

"Could it be that Yao Xing has appeared again at this Ancient Road Node?"

"Yes, Yao Xing has appeared; I joined the death squad, heading to Yao Xing to save people, and it also happens to settle a grudge."

Fei Tai'a said lightly.

Looking at his greatly changed appearance, Lu Xun suddenly understood.

The person who caused Fei Tai'a's Dao heart to shatter... is probably on Yao Xing.

"Teacher, I have some spirit talismans and medicinal pills here; take them."

Lu Xun took out quite a few things from his spatial ring.

"No need, they've sent up plenty of stuff, enough for me; keep these things, the future of Lan Xing lies with you, not with this old fool."

Fei Tai'a refused.

Although Lu Xun repeatedly wanted to give them, in the end he couldn't bring himself to hand them over.

"Teacher, you must come back."

Watching Fei Tai'a's retreating figure, Lu Xun silently said.

Given Yao Xing's strength, one can imagine how dangerous going there is.

I don't know who he's going to save.

They actually want a Five Realms master to form a death squad!

Fei Tai'a didn't say anything.

Lu Xun also didn't feel good asking.

This matter should be confidential.

"Brother Xun, I really envy you guys for being able to go up the Rainbow Bridge; it's all my fault for being uncompetitive, I still haven't broken through to the Three Realms, otherwise I could go with you to enjoy the good life..."

After returning to Beidou University, Lu Xun happened to meet Li Bu Fan.

Li Bu Fan was envious to the point of numbness.

"Take them."

"What? More pills? Brother Xun, you're so generous, I won't stand on ceremony."

Lu Xun handed him some medicinal pills.

After chatting with this guy for a while, Lu Xun returned to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and started scrolling through news.

"Did the He Yue family violate heavenly law? They actually got a kill order issued by the Martial Manor."

"They're going to be unlucky."

"Those little devils are hard to deal with on Lan Xing; once off Lan Xing, I'll kill any I see."

As he scrolled, Lu Xun also came across the Martial Manor's kill order.

Many cultivators showed strong interest in the kill order.

The reward for this kill order is not small; it includes not only Dark Energy but also battle merits.

Normally, one earns battle merits by participating in Lan Xing's defense or making contributions in wars against foreign races.

The Martial Manor directly awarded battle merits for this kill order.

Naturally, some people were moved.

The use of battle merits is not small.

The simplest: if one can obtain a three-star battle merit medal, each time Lan Xing enters an Ancient Path Node, one can directly obtain qualification to enter the Rainbow Bridge.

One- and two-star battle merit medals can also be entered into a lottery, with a certain chance of being drawn.

From this, it seems the Martial Manor is serious this time.

Fu Xue's role in there should not be small.

"The second batch has entered the Rainbow Bridge!"

Three days later.

Strongers above the Six Realms entered the Rainbow Bridge.

Fu Xue was also among them, surprisingly.

"They're almost here!"

After this batch of strongers enters the Rainbow Bridge, they have a lot to do.

First, to scout the path; second, to construct some teleportation arrays.

Once these tasks are done, it's the third batch's turn.

That is, Lu Xun's batch.

"Squeak squeak~"

The piercing insect chirps echoed in the underground cavern.

Two days after the Six Realms powerhouses stepped into the Rainbow Bridge, in a deep underground nest somewhere on Lan Xing, thousands of insects are restless.

These insects are huge, their bodies covered with thick carapaces.

Don't underestimate these carapaces; even old-era guns can't pierce them.

Suddenly, the insect swarm stirred, and a wholly snow-white giant worm slowly crawled out from the depths of the cavern.

Its appearance made the entire nest fall silent instantly.

"Squeeeak~"

The white worm emitted a sharp hiss, as if issuing some cruel command.

In an instant, the insect swarm went mad, biting and tearing; the sounds of carapace breaking and limbs snapping rose and fell.

Viscous green bodily fluid gathered on the ground, gradually filling an ancient eerie rune.

With a sizzling sound, the rune lit up with an eerie green flame.

As the flame flickered, space began to twist and crack, like a shattered mirror.

After the fire burned for a full day.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of space shattering, a pitch-black insect horn suddenly tore through the void.

It seemed to have slammed over from another dimension, forcibly tearing open a ferocious rift in space.

"Whoosh~"

The black insect horn slid downward.

A space rift then appeared.

Immediately after, vast numbers of insects surged out from the space rift.

As they surged out, the space rift was stretched larger and larger, like a bloody maw beginning to split open.

At the same time.

In another underground space, a space rift was similarly opened.

"Boom!"

A demon nearly three meters tall leapt first from the space rift, making the ground tremble.

His crimson eyes flickered in the darkness, the corners of his mouth twisted into a cruel arc, and his giant axe scraped the ground, throwing out bright sparks.

Immediately after, more demons leapt out.
