Chapter 244: Stunned into an Emoji Pack

"Lu Xun, this is our Hall Master Yi."

After the Vice Hall Master of the Northern Dipper Hall appeared, Protector Chen hurriedly made an introduction.

Hall Master?

Lu Xun heard the discussion of the nearby cultivators and realized that the Hall Master Yi was actually the Vice Hall Master.

However, when addressing someone, one definitely cannot call him Vice Hall Master Yi.

"Hall Master Yi, hello."

"Young friend, just call me Uncle Yi."

Vice Hall Master Yi was very kind.

Lu Xun naturally knows about his affairs in the Spirit Realm.

Being able to use himself to exchange for others' release, he now alone has escaped from that Spirit Realm.

Such a Lu Xun, even as a junior, deserves the Vice Hall Master Yi's kind treatment.

"Uncle Yi, you've come at just the right time; I have an important matter to report."

Lu Xun said.

The matter of Yao Xing naturally needs to be told to the high-level of Lan Xing as soon as possible.

As the Vice Hall Master of the Northern Dipper Hall, with considerable strength and status, telling him directly can save a lot of trouble.

"Oh? Young friend, please speak."

As Vice Hall Master Yi spoke, he lightly moved his palm and set up a sound‑proof barrier around them.

Regarding Lu Xun's words, he naturally attaches importance.

After all, Lu Xun had just escaped from the Ancient God; he might have major news related to the Ancient God.

In fact, he came this time also to further understand the Ancient God.

He wants to know whether the Ancient God will pose a threat to Lan Xing.

These past four months, due to the existence of the Ancient God, the high-level of Lan Xing have all been somewhat uneasy.

Some of Lan Xing's strong ones have returned from the Spirit Realm and are now stationed in Lan Xing.

"What? Yao Xing?"

"Young friend, is this true? Does the Yao clan really have such a plot?"

When Lu Xun spoke of the matter of Yao Xing, not only Vice Hall Master Yi, but also Fu Xue and Protector Chen were equally shocked.

"Yao Xing... I was wondering why they've been silent these past months; the reason is actually here."

Protector Chen said in a deep voice.

He did not doubt Lu Xun's words.

"Young friend, are you sure the area around Yao Xing is a stellar teleportation array?"

Vice Hall Master Yi, however, pursued the question.

It's no wonder he does that.

This matter is too big.

If true, for Lan Xing it would be a life‑or‑death crisis.

Moreover, Lan Xing lacks a formation capable of transporting the entire planet.

Such a formation is not achieved through the Heavenly Dao; it requires an exceptionally skilled formation master, the cooperation of many powerful individuals, and a lengthy construction period.

Even Vice Hall Master Yi, with his experience, has never heard of such a formation.

He naturally wants to clarify it.

If this matter is confirmed, it will be necessary to quickly notify the powerful ones still in the starry skies to return.

If it ends in a mistake, the consumption of Heavenly Dao Talismans alone would be a huge loss.

Heavenly Dao Talismans are not inexhaustible.

The consumption of using Heavenly Dao Talismans is actually substantial, though this consumption is borne by Lan Xing itself.

Therefore, the number of Heavenly Dao Talismans is relatively limited.

Under these circumstances, Vice Hall Master Yi must be cautious.

"Uncle Yi, I have studied formations quite a bit and can affirm that it is indeed a stellar teleportation array."

Lu Xun said in a confident tone.

"Young friend, may I ask boldly... how did you escape from the Ancient God?"

Vice Hall Master Yi stopped pursuing the question and turned to another.

He came this time also with another purpose.

That is to examine Lu Xun's inner body to see if the Ancient God has implanted any mark.

If Lu Xun were implanted with a slave mark by the Ancient God and then released, the Ancient God would thereby learn Lan Xing's location, which for Lan Xing would be a catastrophe.

They do not know that the Ancient God was pinned by the God‑Suppressing Nail, confined to that Spirit Realm.

Just now, when he arrived, Vice Hall Master Yi actually used a furtive glance and found no trace of a slave mark.

But given the Ancient God's strength, even if Vice Hall Master Yi is at the Eighth Realm, he cannot guarantee his observation is accurate.

This matter concerns Lan Xing's survival, so even Lu Xun, Vice Hall Master Yi must get to the bottom of it.

Besides Vice Hall Master Yi, others also couldn't help but look at Lu Xun.

Including Fu Xue.

However, she believes Lu Xun.

Protector Chen and the others also do not disbelieve Lu Xun; they are simply somewhat worried.

"Uncle Yi, to be frank, the Ancient God is restricted... and I happen to have a flame that can help it break free..."

Lu Xun briefly explained the matter.

There's nothing about this that can't be said.

But when Lu Xun was speaking, he concealed a few key points.

For example, Barbara.

According to Lu Xun, after the Ancient God fell unconscious, he escaped with the help of the God Slave.

As a result, the Ancient God woke up again, and while the God Slave helped him block the Ancient God, their battle shattered the void, Lu Xun fell into a space turbulence, and after struggling to escape, he happened to arrive near Yao Xing.

This account is close to the facts, except that Barbara was hidden.

"I see, I didn't expect such a powerful Ancient God to also be schemed against."

"That God Slave is also a passionate person; it would be great if he weren't dead."

When Lu Xun said that, the others finally understood the whole process.

Each of them felt somewhat astonished.

Lu Xun's escape process was somewhat thrilling and gripping.

Vice Hall Master Yi, meanwhile, lamented the death of the God Slave.

What about a Tenth Realm powerhouse?

If he weren't dead, joining Lan Xing would be wonderful.

Such a Tenth Realm powerhouse, whose worldview is close to humanity's, is rare and precious.

"Could that silver-haired woman also be a Tenth Realm?"

But Lu Xun suddenly thought of another ancient remnant in the inner space.

Silver-haired woman.

The ancient battlefield should be the war between the civilization of the silver-haired woman and that of the God Slave.

This war ended with the awakened Ancient God sweeping them all away.

After endless ages, the only complete remnants left are the God Slave's father and the silver-haired woman.

As the strongest of her civilization, the silver-haired woman's strength is certainly not weak.

However, even if she was once strong, she is now merely a remnant and has no real power.

These past days, the silver-haired woman has remained unconscious.

Lu Xun also didn't devote much thought to her.

"Junior friend, this matter is of great importance; I will report it immediately. Fortunately, we have many strong ones who have already returned."

After sighing, Vice Hall Master Yi asked no further questions.

Instead, he decided to report the matter.

Having said that, he hurriedly left.

"Brother Lu, I'll return to Beidou Hall to make arrangements; let's meet again another day."

"Brother Lu, I also need to return to Qingxu Palace..."

Protector Chen and Protector Yu likewise departed.

For such a major matter, they need to make preparations early.

"Junior friend, it looks like we'll have to postpone this drink to another day."

Master Ge smiled and said.

"Senior, this Chasing Moon Sword..."

"A fine horse deserves a fine saddle, a precious sword is given to a hero—this sword I give to you."

When Lu Xun drew the Chasing Moon Sword to return it to Master Ge, Master Ge instead confiscated it.

"Thank you, senior; otherwise the junior would be disrespectful."

Lu Xun did not refuse.

This Chasing Moon Sword is indeed quite good.

Although in sharpness it falls short of the damaged Holy Weapon, for Lu Xun it is actually more convenient to use.

When he executes the Myriad Calamity Formless Sword Method, its power exceeds that of the Holy Weapon, allowing Lu Xun to better unleash the might of his sword intent.

Although the Holy Weapon is formidable, it is ultimately damaged.

Lu Xun often uses it as a flying sword.

"Once these affairs are over, junior friend, you must come to Xuanji City so we can drink heartily."

"Good! I have some materials and was looking to find a master to help me forge some weapons."

"That's naturally no problem; junior friend, however many weapons you want to forge, I'll forge that many for you."

When Lu Xun proposed asking Master Ge for help in forging weapons, Master Ge was very straightforward.

Originally, when they were besieged by evil spirits, Lu Xun had already saved them once.

At the Ancient God's place, Lu Xun saved them again.

Furthermore, Lu Xun is very much to Master Ge's liking.

This led Master Ge to promise to forge however many weapons Lu Xun wanted.

"Good heavens!"

Not far away, Li Bu Fan burst out with an emoticon.

Just after Vice Hall Master Yi and Protector Chen and the others left, the soundproof barrier here disappeared.

Li Bu Fan then heard Master Ge's promise.

An eighth-rank armament master placed in the capital city is something countless families, whether in the upper or lower capital, would vie to curry favor with.

But now, the other party actually told Lu Xun that however many weapons he wants to forge, they can forge that many for him.

「Brother Xun, this truly saved the world!! 」

Li Buffan exclaimed, "Awesome!"

「Hiss... 」

「Who is he? Master Ge actually gave such a promise. 」

「Lu Xun, you don't even know him? He's the peerless genius of Beidou University. 」

「What, he's actually Lu Xun? 」

The surrounding cultivators were also shocked.

Some cultivators who didn't know Lu Xun, upon hearing his name, all looked over in astonishment.

Deep in their hearts, a strong curiosity likewise welled up.

Even if Lu Xun is a genius of Beidou University, Beidou University has so many geniuses each year—who could obtain such a promise from Master Ge, an eighth‑rank armament master?

Make as much as you want.

Such a promise—Master Ge has likely never given one like this in his lifetime.

The weight of the name Lu Xun in their minds instantly changed.

They still don't know what really happened these past few months, nor how terrifying Lu Xun's strength has become.

Otherwise, they wouldn't know how shocked they would become.
