There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 312

Chapter 312: 312, Sacrifice (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
The foreign man couldn’t understand why this was happening, even at his death.

He looked at the hole in his chest and then lost his breath.

Such a way to die, was extremely ironic.

Lu Xun approached the foreign man’s corpse, looking at the pool of black blood on the ground, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Black Blood Tribe?” Lu Xun speculated while examining the body.

“It seems like there will be more trouble to come.” Lu Xun quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.

Because the Black Blood Tribe was considered a rather unique existence among the foreign races.

There existed a trace of blood resonance between the members of their tribe. If an individual had an accident nearby, others could receive this resonance.

That is to say, with this current location as the center, if there were any members of the Black Blood Tribe within a certain radius, they might learn of the man’s death outside Lotus Village, beside the altar!

“It seems I will have to stay in this village for a while.” stated Lu Xun.

If any nearby foreign races came to investigate, he could receive the resonance in real-time and then take action accordingly.

He was afraid that if he left right now, it might cause hidden trouble later on.

With this in mind, he beckoned to the paper crane hovering in the air, signaling for the three women on it to come down.

Then, he looked at the dead man and the unconscious woman.

He wasn’t sure how to handle these two at the moment, but now they could be taken back to the village.

Under a tree outside a house in Lotus Village.

The three women sat not far away, and Lu Xun sat under the tree with a child.

Lu Xun, dressed in a black robe, took a date from the Storage Ring, picked from the rear hill, and handed it to the little boy in front of him, who looked fairly young.

His name was Ah Bao, and he was the child of that couple.

At present, the child didn’t know that he had lost his father forever.

The villagers already knew and had temporarily arranged the man’s body, waiting for the woman to wake up.

In the past, whenever someone in any family died, this man would go to help play the suona.

Now, he was dead, and it seemed no one could play a tune for him.

At this moment, Ah Bao looked up at Lu Xun, then at the date in his hand, hesitating to take it.

Lu Xun and his party’s sudden arrival at the entrance of the village immediately attracted the attention of all the villagers.

The villagers saw them riding on paper cranes, landing at the village entrance, and they regarded them as celestial beings.

In fact, with just Lu Xun’s appearance and temperament, he would be regarded as a celestial being wandering among mortals, even without showing his cultivation base.

He was too good-looking, too good-looking to be an ordinary person.

“Eat it.” Seeing that the boy in front of him didn’t dare to take the date, Lu Xun spoke.

“Oh… thank … thank you Immortal.” Before Ah Bao took the date, he deliberately wiped his small hands on his clothes.

Grandpa Village Chief said, these adults are all immortals!

From the first time Ah Bao saw Lu Xun, he believed the village chief’s words.

He carefully took a bite of the date and felt that he had never tasted such a delicious fruit in his life.

The smell alone felt different.

“Is this what the Immortals eat?” he thought to himself.

After taking only one small bite, he didn’t eat any more.

“Why don’t you eat it?” Lu Xun asked.

“I … I want to save it for my mother and father.” Ah Bao replied softly, afraid of angying the Immortal.

Lu Xun looked at the boy, sighed in his heart, then took out two more dates, saying, “Then here’s one for each member of your family.”

“Ah! Thank you, Immortal!” Ah Bao immediately cheered up.

Because these dates were really tasty!

He had resisted a huge temptation to not devour them all.

In the end, even the date pit ended up in his stomach.

When Lu Xun noticed this, he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

He looked at the handsome child from the village in front of him, noticing his urge to speak but hesitating, and asked, “What do you want to say?”

“Immortal … Immortal, when will my mother wake up?” Ah Bao asked.

“She will wake up very soon.” Lu Xun replied.

That was the truth.

The woman was just shocked and heartbroken, her body was actually not in serious condition.

Ah Bao looked at Lu Xun and muttered to himself, “If my father knew my mother had fainted, he would cry in a hurry.”

Hearing this, he hurriedly shut his mouth, realizing that he had said something wrong.

That his father would cry for his mother is something that couldn’t be told to others.

His mother often scolded his father, saying he didn’t have the boldness of a man, not like a real man.

Although Ah Bao didn’t understand what it meant to have the spirit of a man, his father seemed to care a lot about it.

Once, he slipped up, and his friends laughed at him, telling him his father was a crybaby. Who would have thought, such a big man would still cry.

He was angry for a while.

Lu Xun could see right through the little things these children were up to. He smiled kindly and said, “Actually… it’s okay for a man to cry.”

“Really?” Ah Bao looked up and said.

Having said that, he quickly zip his mouth.

Oh no, he said something wrong. He had actually doubted the Immortal!

“It’s true.” Lu Xun said, “Your father is a real man.”

Although Ah Bao didn’t understand why the Immortal suddenly said that, he was very happy to hear it. He laughed innocently.

He was just a little confused. The sun was about to set, so why hadn’t his father come home yet?

At this time, Lu Xun glanced to the west.

He sensed the presence of the Foreign Tribe and saw a prompt appear before his eyes.

And it wasn’t just one person this time. There were a total of eighteen, with levels ranging from the 20s to the 30s, none of them were high-ranking members of the Foreign Tribe.

If all of them belonged to the Black Blood Tribe, Lu Xun thought it unlikely.

Perhaps some Black Blood Tribe members nearby sensed the death of their kin and brought along other Foreign Tribe members to check.

This behavior made total sense.

Especially considering the existence of an altar here; its importance goes without saying, they would definitely not ignore it.

And they seemed cautious, approaching separately.

On normal days, the Foreign Tribe did not differ much from most cultivators. The difference would only become evident once fighting starts.

Therefore, their actions would not raise suspicions.

Even if a cultivator did kill a Foreign Tribe member and was still lingering around, they would just be perceived as cultivators passing by.

Of course, if a player were present, they wouldn’t think the same way.

After all, from the player’s perspective, the Foreign Tribe is marked as an enemy.

Unfortunately, they are bound to be disappointed.

Because what’s lurking here is Lu Xun, who is even more ruthless than the players.

Lu Xun waited for them to get a little closer.

At this moment, he glanced at the object hanging on Ah Bao’s waist and asked, “Do you know how to play the suona?”

Ah Bao took off the suona hanging on his waist and said, “Daddy taught me. This suona was made by him.”

“Give it a try.” Lu Xun said.

Ah Bao lowered his head, put the suona behind him and said shyly, “Daddy says I’m not good at it. Mom also doesn’t like listening to me play.”

The one here was the Immortal. Ah Bao didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of him.

Lu Xun reached out and gently patted him on the head, asking, “Do you like the suona?”

“I like it. Daddy says it was passed down by our ancestors, but…it’s so hard to learn.” Ah Bao said.

“I like it too, Ah Bao. The suona is a powerful instrument. It carries a unique significance. From birth to death, joyous occasions to sorrowful ones, it is used throughout a person’s life,” Lu Xun said.

He was speaking the truth.

When he was young, he also thought the suona was outdated until he watched some online videos and realized his understanding was too shallow.

If played by a skilled musician, it was truly extraordinary.

Ah Bao tilted his head, indicating he didn’t understand.

But it sounded like it was very impressive!

At this time, Lu Xun looked in the direction of the village’s outskirts and thought to himself, “They’re getting closer.”

The Foreign Tribe members were not far from the village.

He looked at Ah Bao and said, “You should give it a try.”

“But… Daddy was right, I really can’t play well.” Ah Bao was still a bit shy.

Lu Xun said, “That’s okay, believe in the words of the Immortal. Trust me, your daddy loves to hear you play the suona. He would like to hear you play.”

Maybe… he can still hear it.

“Then… okay then.” Ah Bao said.

He took out the suona he had hidden behind him and slowly brought it to his mouth.

Indeed, he didn’t play well. There were stumbles and wrong notes.

But Lu Xun seemed to be listening quietly, and his finger was even following the melody, circling in the air.

It was as if he was following the rhythm of the melody.

Outside the village, a smoky, ethereal Sword Qi suddenly appeared.

It was circling in the air too.

Just like this, it roamed, roamed, and killed all eighteen members of the Foreign Tribe.
