Chapter 427: with translation of chapter title

Miss Ziqiang, we meet again.

The sword light faded, Lu Xun turned and looked at Ziqiang, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

That smile was warm and smooth like jade, a stark contrast to the ferocity he showed when he slew the demon with a single sword earlier.

Were it not for the three demon king corpses still lying on the ground, no one would have imagined that this seemingly refined youth could, in an instant, have beheaded three great demon kings.

Hurry up and go!

Ziqiang gathered her surprise and said, "Heijiao is a subordinate of Chi Sha Yao Huang, a great demon king no less, yet he has come to the Five-Star Spirit Realm; they are likely drawn here by the earlier commotion..."

Saying this, Ziqiang involuntarily paused.

She suddenly thought of a question,

Lu Xun, why are you here just now?

Given the strength Lu Xun just displayed, this Five-Star Spirit Realm holds no attraction for him whatsoever.

The Five-Star Spirit Realm basically corresponds to the Fifth Realm; even if there are some spiritual objects beyond the Fifth Realm level, their numbers would not be many.

Such a realm would have no appeal to a Seventh Realm cultivator.

Lu Xun could instantly kill a Seventh Realm cultivator, so his strength is at least Seventh Realm level, and likely not an ordinary Seventh Realm.

Therefore,

Why is he here?

In a mere Five-Star Spirit Realm.

Could it be that Lu Xun, too, was drawn here by that recent commotion?

But how could it be such a coincidence?

Although the commotion was great, if he weren't already in this spirit realm, how could Lu Xun have arrived so quickly?

As for those three demon kings, however, they are easy to explain.

They are subordinates of Chi Sha Yao Huang.

Although Chi Sha Yao Huang is a vine demon, his subordinates are not limited to vine demons; they include demon tribes of all kinds.

There's no way around it,

In the Yao Xing, plant-based demons are inherently weak and hard to cultivate.

Chi Sha Yao Huang can be said to be an exception.

Perhaps precisely because Chi Sha Yao Huang is too strong, he has monopolized most of the fortune of the vine demon clan, leaving the clan with few demon kings capable of holding their own.

Chi Sha Yao Huang thus had to accept subordinates from other clans, resulting in his demon kings being of all sorts.

These subordinates are often those not well regarded in their own clans, or clans lacking a demon king who need the demon king's patronage and support.

If they were from powerful clans like tiger demons or lion demons, their demon kings would be unlikely to come serve as subordinates to Chi Sha Yao Huang.

Under these circumstances,

A startling idea faintly surfaced in Ziqiang's mind.

No way...

The commotion just now must have something to do with Lu Xun!

Impossible!

As soon as that thought arose, she instinctively denied it.

How huge was that commotion.

That phenomenon was too astonishing; even if a Heavenly Demon King broke through to become a demon sovereign, it could not cause such a phenomenon.

Lu Xun is a human.

How could that be possible?

Chi Sha Yao Huang?

Across from him.

Ziqiang's words reminded Lu Xun.

A mere Five-Star Spirit Realm actually saw the arrival of two Sixth Realm demon kings and a Seventh Realm Heavenly Demon King; that is not normal.

So, has Chi Sha Yao Huang entered?

Thinking this, Lu Xun activated the Heavenly Dao Eye.

After his strength breakthrough, his Heavenly Dao Eye now can see a region of several thousand li around him within the Five-Star Spirit Realm.

Upon activation,

Lu Xun immediately noticed a clue.

A large amount of flowing light was converging toward Lu Xun's position.

One of those streams of light was already less than a hundred li away from him.

Given the speed displayed by the other party, that hundred-li distance is nothing; they could likely arrive within a minute.

So fast... this is probably an Eighth Realm cultivator!

Lu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly.

An Eighth Realm has arrived.

No,

there is also one even faster.

That faster one is still several thousand li away, but its speed is terrifyingly fast; each second that passes, the distance closes by over a hundred li.

It is the farthest away.

Yet it arrives the quickest.

Chi Sha Yao Huang!

Lu Xun doesn't know where.

This must be Chi Sha Yao Huang.

Just as he was about to examine it closely, Lu Xun felt a sense of alarm and directly ended the Heavenly Dao Eye.

Chi Sha Yao Huang noticed!

Being a Nine Realms cultivator, Lu Xun using the Heavenly Dao Eye to observe him directly will be noticed by him.

When Lu Xun had just obtained the Heavenly Dao Eye, on a whim he went to observe Mysterious Mechanism City.

As a result, he was detected by the top experts inside Mysterious Mechanism City, causing Lu Xun's eyes to be injured.

At that time he was only at the Three Realms.

Now he is at the Five Realms, having broken through several dozen layers of limits, so he definitely won't be injured.

But Lu Xun doesn't want to try.

"Heh, is it him?"

Chi Sha Yao Huang withdrew his gaze and further increased his speed.

"Miss Zi Qiang, follow me, I'll give you a great fortune."

Meanwhile, Lu Xun, without another word, grabbed Zi Qiang and left.

Zi Qiang's strength is not bad; she is at the peak of the Six Realms, not yet reaching the Seven Realms.

Such strength, facing Lu Xun, leaves no room for struggle.

Time is short; Lu Xun doesn't want to waste it, so he first drags Zi Qiang away before talking.

Otherwise, even if he escaped, once Chi Sha Yao Huang's men arrive, Zi Qiang would definitely not survive.

With a single Instant Character Technique, Lu Xun brought Zi Qiang to appear in the high skies of the Spirit Realm.

After moving far from the previous location, Lu Xun still felt uneasy and repeatedly unleashed several Instant Character Techniques.

To further change his position.

"You... let me go!"

Zi Qiang, being pulled by Lu Xun, had her face red all the way to her neck.

Although she is a demon, she is pure-hearted, and in matters between men and women she is extremely conservative.

"For now, they probably won't catch up so quickly."

After Lu Xun used the Heavenly Dao Eye to observe again, he relaxed.

After his repeated use of the Instant Character Technique, the distance from the previous location had already reached over a thousand li.

Moreover, having reached the high skies of the Spirit Realm and using space to conceal himself, even Chi Sha Yao Huang would find it not easy to locate him.

"Sorry, Miss Zi Qiang, Chi Sha Yao Huang and his men are rushing there; if you stay where you are, you will surely be killed by them."

Only then did Lu Xun release Zi Qiang.

"Chi Sha Yao Huang really mobilized?"

Zi Qiang couldn't help but feel a little startled.

The omen she had seen earlier was indeed extraordinary.

Even Chi Sha Yao Huang personally went out.

"I have a great fortune here; are you interested?"

Lu Xun asked.

"What?"

Zi Qiang collected her thoughts and looked at Lu Xun.

Whether it's a fortune or not, Zi Qiang actually doesn't care.

She cares more about what the great fortune Lu Xun mentioned is, and whether the earlier omen has any relation to him.

"Don't resist; I'll take you to talk to her."

Lu Xun decided to leave the matter to Gu Yao.

Just now, when he made a move, one reason was that he couldn't bear to see Zi Qiang, who had helped him, be killed.

The other reason was that Gu Yao had taken a liking to Zi Qiang.

Gu Yao will eventually take charge of the Yao Xing and needs some capable assistants.

Zi Qiang, this pure-hearted one, caught Gu Yao's eye at first sight.

Therefore, Gu Yao sent a mental transmission to Lu Xun in the inner vision space, urging him to act and rescue Zi Qiang.

Given Gu Yao's status and strength, this is indeed a great fortune for Zi Qiang.

This is also something Lu Xun is happy to see.

"Could she also be pure-hearted?"

Lu Xun thought of Gu Yao's recent mental transmission and couldn't help but speculate.

Upon discovering Zi Qiang was pure-hearted, Gu Yao clearly felt some admiration.

"Could it be that..."

"Gu Yao is also pure-hearted?"
