He wasn’t sure about the exact locations of several altars, but he remembered their general regions.

Before, he wouldn’t dare to take too many risks.

It wasn’t a game anymore, and though he still had two respawn chances left, he valued his life dearly.

This was evident from the moment he strongly rejected Ji Li’s request for dual cultivation at the furnace top.

But things were different now. He also had a bodyguard!

And not just any bodyguard. He was arguably the strongest protector in the Heavenly Dust Continent. Rounding things off, it was as if he was accompanied by the world’s top sword cultivator!

So, where couldn’t Lu Xun go?

Even if he couldn’t remember the exact locations, he could simply circle the entire region!

Killing foreign races was trivial, dismantling altars was the real challenge!

Getting hung up on beheading enemies wouldn’t end well. Pushing towers, demolishing homes, that was the right way!

“While I still have my trusty sword, I intend to dismantle several more altars. It’s not for contribution points, but simply because I want to contribute more time and energy to the Heavenly Dust Continent!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

His choice of Frost Feather City in the northern part of West State was not just due to his vague recollection of nearby altar locations, but also because… the city had been reduced to ruins, completely demolished.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack of the foreign race, Frost Feather City couldn’t hold up. By the time reinforcements from the two major sword sects arrived, the scene inside the city was too heartbreaking to witness.

Most nearby players were killed until their respawn chances hit zero, forcing a logout, indicative of the battle’s brutality.

The final situation of the Frost Feather City battlefield could be summarized in a single statement:

“Full city of sword cultivators, all die outside the city.”

In the map by An Chen, Frost Feather City was covered by a glaring red area, the color of blood.

Lu Xun knew that the foreign races would not stay to await retaliation from the sword cultivators of West State. However, for their actions, they must pay!

The altar there would be the price they paid!

After closing the forum, Lu Xun glanced at Ye Sui’an sitting next to him. He was still pondering the issue about the foreign race, looking serious and focused.

In Lu Xun’s view, this was a good thing. It made him seem more like a world protagonist.

“What have you drawn from your thoughts?” Lu Xun asked.

Ye Sui’an shook his head, “Elder Lu, considering the current situation, what… what can I do for West State?”

Ye Sui’an was somewhat confused.

His current cultivation base was limited and couldn’t contribute much in a great battle, even though he had another breakthrough on the battlefield outside of Sword Casting City!

Lu Xun looked at him and said, “Practice your cultivation, do your job well, stay grounded, and live without regrets.”

In his view, the main plot of the foreign invasion had just begun, and as the world protagonist, Ye Sui’an was still in the growth phase.

The leading role on the current stage wasn’t yet his, but belonged to those shielding him from the wind and rain, like Wu Shanshui during the battle outside Sword Casting City.

But as time goes by, given his talent, he would sooner or later become a powerful sword cultivator capable of standing alone. That would be his time to shine.

“Compared to this, it seems like I, the ‘Pseudo World Protagonist’, could do more things after all. I’m sort of a prophet.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

While looking at Ye Sui’an, he added, “You’re not strong enough yet, and still need others to shield you. But eventually, you’ll be the one shielding others. It’s growth, and it’s about passing on the mantle.”

Ye Sui’an looked up at Lu Xun. It was unclear what he had figured out, but he nodded fervently, “Elder Lu, I got it!”

Looking at his shining eyes, Lu Xun couldn’t be sure what Ye Sui’an had finally understood… exactly what did he comprehend?

Ye Sui’an picked up the teapot and poured tea for Lu Xun.

While pouring, he asked, “Elder Lu, where are you planning on going next?”

Lu Xun took a sip from his tea cup and said, “Head to the northern part of West State, to Frost Feather City.”

Ye Sui’an was taken aback, “Why are we going to Frost Feather City? Has something happened?”

Unlike Lu Xun, who knew everything that was going on in the world without ever having to leave the house, he didn’t have access to such information.

Lu Xun nodded, “They’ve been defeated.”

Hearing this, Ye Sui’an fell silent.

Just two words ‘defeated’ were enough to guess the outcome.

After a while, he asked, “How did Elder Lu find out about this?”

With a subtle smile, Lu Xun casually bluffed, “I have my own intelligence network.”

You might not believe this, but I’ve got eyes and ears everywhere in the world, and I don’t even have to pay them salaries!

In fact, sometimes I can even make some money from them…

Ye Sui’an couldn’t help but admire, “Elder Lu is truly far-sighted. Having a comprehensive intelligence network at this time can be very useful!”

He looked at Lu Xun and said, “If Elder Lu doesn’t mind my presence, I would like to accompany you!”

“Here it comes! I knew he would say that!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Ye Sui’an was really clingy. Just like a sidekick following the world protagonist around.

After a moment of thought, Lu Xun decided not to refuse him.

If he wants to follow, let him. After all, he is the world protagonist with that main character halo. Maybe he could actually be of some help.

…

…

After leaving the tea house, Lu Xun and Ye Sui’an walked into a deserted alley.

With a gesture, the Sword Sheath in the sky quickly returned to his hand.

The Sword Qi is Near followed suit, chirping at Lu Xun, seemingly disgruntled that he had disturbed their private moment.

The Sword Sheath and The Sword Qi is Near had been hanging in the sky, playfully jostling. The Sword Qi is Near almost felt that the moment was ripe to give one sword into the sheath.

Always so impatient!

Lu Xun ignored the lewd Sword Qi, and let Ye Sui’an take out his own flying magical treasure “One Leaf Boat”, and they seated themselves in it.

Ye Sui’an flew in the direction of the Boundary Monument of West State, as per Lu Xun’s instructions.

Lu Xun wanted to see the Dida monument again, as he had once promised he would visit it if he came to West State.

On their journey, Ye Sui’an would always try to strike up a conversation, frantically searching for topics to chat about with Lu Xun.

Not only would he share his experiences, he was also curious about what Lu Xun had been up to since their last meeting.

Lu Xun shared a few interesting stories, such as his experience in the Uncold Forest.

Though these stories were well known to everyone, Ye Sui’an listened with keen interest.

Lu Xun brought up these stories mainly to introduce Ye Sui’an to Jiang Nan’an.

Not in the matchmaking sense, but as a means to make friends.

In his view, both of them were protagonists of the world, and it would be good if they got closer. There’s no harm in that.

Of course, Little Chan is also a world protagonist, but you better not get close to her. I can act as a link between you but… If you try to reach her without me, that’s definitely not going to happen!

Listening to Lu Xun’s narrative, Ye Sui’an silently noted the name Jiang Nan’an in his heart.

“This man actually shares a bond with Elder Lu.” Ye Sui’an thought. “Elder Lu’s words showed a sense of admiration when he mentioned him.”

Ye Sui’an, piloting the One Leaf Boat, seemed to be lost in thought again.
