Chapter 489: Western Three Great Queens

"Xiao Xun, you said someone wants to kill you through a dream?"

"Yes, Uncle Xu."

That noon.

Lu Xun came to War Manor, found Director Xu, and told him the whole story of his nightmare.

That nightmare was a real nightmare.

In the dream, Lu Xun became an ordinary person with no strength, chased by countless evil ghosts.

What a joke.

He is a cultivator; those ghosts are nothing but resentful spirits—Lu Xun doesn't need to move a finger, just his divine sense can crush countless evil ghosts that would be terrifying to ordinary people.

But strangely, Lu Xun had no power to resist in the dream.

Even his martial will didn't work, as if he had truly become an ordinary person.

"Such a strange dream… it's probably the Black Queen's doing; she excels at black magic and has deep research into dreams—I didn't expect her to act against you."

Director Xu's knowledge is extraordinary; as soon as Lu Xun spoke, he formed a guess.

"Uncle Xu, who is the Black Queen?"

Lu Xun was curious.

"The West has eight kings and three queens; they are all Nine Realms, and those three queens are the West's Three Great Queens: the White Queen, the Red Queen, the Black Queen."

Director Xu said slowly.

Three Great Queens!

White, red, black.

"The Red Queen is the most famous; you've probably heard her name. The other two queens are low‑key, and little is known about them outside."

Director Xu continued the introduction.

Lu Xun nodded.

He had heard the Red Queen's name since childhood.

He had even seen the Red Queen on the surface of a star before.

She was quite overbearing, taking an interest in Lu Xun's little phoenix.

That time, Lu Xueqi and Ning Qianqian happened to arrive and helped Lu Xun break out of the siege.

"The White Queen belongs to the Holy Court, her power is relatively positive; as for the Black Queen, she belongs to no faction, yet all powers in the West fear her greatly, because her black magic is formidable, impossible to guard against, and no one dares to provoke her lightly."

Director Xu added.

She belongs to no faction, yet can make all factions wary.

Practicing black magic.

Director Xu's description.

It made Lu Xun suddenly think of someone.

Witch!

That witch!

Could this Black Queen be the culprit who turned Babara into a cat?

"Uncle Xu, in the West, is the Black Queen secretly called a witch?"

Lu Xun asked.

"A witch? Many indeed regard her as a witch, but no one dares to call her that to her face."

Director Xu said.

Indeed it was.

This Black Queen is indeed that witch.

Lu Xun didn't expect that.

He hadn't made a move yet, but the other side struck first.

In other words, the witch knew Babara was with Lu Xun, so she used that nightmare to deal with him.

Or perhaps it was the people of the West who hired the witch to act?

Last time, Fusang dispatched two Eight‑Realms cultivators and a large number of Seven‑Realms cultivators, but Lu Xun wiped them all out, suffering heavy losses.

These past few months, the West has taken no action against Lu Xun.

Lu Xun doesn't believe they would just give up like that.

But they probably wouldn't act openly either.

Having the witch kill Lu Xun silently through a nightmare would be the best choice.

That nightmare looks like a dream, but it involves a terrifying ability; even if Lu Xun could luckily survive, his soul would still be harmed.

By then, he would pose no threat to the West.

The West doesn't necessarily have to kill Lu Xun.

As long as Lu Xun cannot become a new legislator, their goal is achieved.

"Lu Xun, once the Black Queen acts, she probably won't give up easily; during this time you must be careful and avoid sleeping, so you aren't drawn into the dream again."

Director Xu said concernedly.

"I'll pay attention, Uncle Xu."

We also won't just stand by and do nothing, but this matter has no evidence, and moreover most of the Nine Realms seniors are not around now, so we can't do much for the time being; the Black Empress is like a madman, not really playing by common sense, and without clear evidence and absolute certainty, we cannot bring this matter into the open, lest we provoke her.

The East is indeed strong now.

But it is not absolutely invincible.

But it is not absolutely invincible.

Even if the West joins forces, it can still stand against the East.

Like Hei Huanghou, a madwoman, the West doesn't want to provoke her, and the East even less so.

As for Lu Xun being attacked via dreams by the opposing side, the War Manor currently really lacks a good solution.

Mainly because the strong ones are not present.

The West has many strong individuals, but cannot handle them the same way as dealing with Fusang.

"I can only do it myself."

This loss, Lu Xun naturally won't just let it slide.

Whether she's the Black Queen or not, to Lu Xun she's just a witch.

Lu Xun will eventually have to deal with her.

Now that someone dares to act against Lu Xun, he also has a legitimate reason to deal with her.

"Oh, right, when you go to the Spirit Realm, you don't have to worry about being tracked; the Manor Lord, the last time he returned, used his authority to mask your whereabouts, making it difficult even for other councilors to pinpoint exactly which Spirit Realm you went to."

Director Xu recalled something and said to Lu Xun.

"Director Xu, please convey my thanks to the Manor Lord."

"You're welcome. In any case, be careful during this time, and keep your personal belongings safe; don't lose them, lest Hei Huanghou use them as a medium to curse you."

"Hmm!"

Director Xu gave Lu Xun many instructions in succession.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xun bade farewell and left the War Manor.

"Better to go find the Star Gate first."

Lu Xun's plan remains unchanged; he decided to first find the Star Gate before saying anything else.
