There's Something Wrong With This Account-Chapter 287 - : 287, Alive, it’s alive!

Chapter 287: 287, Alive, it’s alive!

The Monument of West State is situated on the left of the West State’s border. After Lu Xun had put away the paper crane, he started walking towards it with Ji Li.

When he played as the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero in his previous life, he also visited this place once. At the time, he was just a tourist, checking in at this famous attraction.

As someone who practiced on a staff character, this boundary monument, which was related to Sword Dao, naturally had no effect on him.

Specifically, he had never seen a player gain any advantage at the boundary monument.

No one here had ever received a quest, nor triggered any effect.

This monument, which was rumored to be mystical, seemed to be useless for players.

In the eyes of the players, this place was nothing more than a check-in point of West State. Snap a photo, screenshot it, show that you’ve been to West State, and that was it.

Of course, there were still a number of playful players who, despite the unwritten rule that prohibited flying, insisted on soaring up into the sky!

As a result, they were blasted to pieces by numerous Sword Cultivators.

If their behavior was especially outrageous, they might even make it to the Sword Cultivators’ blacklist, and even attract the pursuit of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

Lu Xun had seen players whose characters were directly blown up…

He had a friend whose character exploded because he was too reckless.

Lu Xun led Ji Li forward, the closer they got to the boundary monument, the more people were around.

There were also numerous players here. Lu Xun deliberately avoided them. After all, the players were weak at this moment, so they would not be able to detect him if he wished to hide.

There was no way out, he was too famous – he feared being surrounded by the crowd.

Along the way, he saw many Sword Cultivators acting like pilgrims, making solemn faces and stopping every few steps to salute with their swords before moving on.

He did not express any opinions on this.

These pilgrims should have been the most eye-catching group of people. After all, who wouldn’t steal a few glances at such people on the street?

Unfortunately, Lu Xun had arrived at the scene. Even with his bamboo hat on, he still stood out amongst the crowd.

The force of a Charisma of 10 couldn’t be blocked, causing people in the vicinity to steal glances at him.

Typically, Lu Xun was already familiar with the feeling of being the focus of a crowd and had gradually become accustomed to it.

But today, somehow, he always felt as if a flitting and wandering gaze had locked onto him.

Yet, he was temporarily unable to perceive where this gaze came from.

“Could it be that a Great Cultivator has been watching me?” Lu Xun wondered.

Despite this, he didn’t panic. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

After all, this was the area of the Monument of West State, a territory of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

Although the area around the boundary monument didn’t require an entrance fee, this didn’t mean it wasn’t jointly owned by One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

Such valuable things would certainly be guarded by Great Cultivators.

Normally, nothing much would go wrong.

Even if something were to happen, these two Great Sects would be the first ones to bear the brunt.

“Lu Xun, this monument is so big!” Ji Li, a naive maiden who hadn’t seen much of the world, couldn’t help but exclaim.

The monument was indeed big, standing at more than a hundred meters tall.

However, its design was quite plain. It was a simple rectangle. From afar, it looked like a large tombstone.

Because of this, some silly players joked that they felt as if West State was a cemetery, with this monument serving as a tombstone.

Then, these jokes were fiercely criticized by the genteel and easy-going players from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, leading to an uproar.

Lu Xun and Ji Li kept moving forward. Because it was rumored that the influence of the boundary monument reached just a mile in radius, they wouldn’t gain anything if they didn’t get a bit closer.

Due to this, the closer they walked towards the center, the more crowded it became.

Believe it or not, there were people who had been living here for a long time, stopping just short of setting up tents on the side.

It almost seemed as if sitting here would speed up their breakthroughs.

Seeing the crowd around her, Ji Li found an excuse to move closer to Lu Xun, allowing her arm to press against his.

This shameless, undying, greedy sister never missed an opportunity for affectionate contact, grabbing every chance she got.

“Lu Xun, do you think anyone has gained anything here in recent years?” Ji Li asked curiously.

Lu Xun nodded, feeling the touch from his arm but not moving away, and said, “There has been.”

“The most recent one was Ye Sui’an. He comprehended the Sword Heart here a few years ago, and the boundary monument even taught him a sword technique, which he used when he fought me in the Demon Sect.”

“Really? I wonder if I’ll be that lucky,” Ji Li mused.

Lu Xun smiled, feeling quite calm and not holding any expectations, it was more like bringing Ji Li out for fun.

But as they got closer, that feeling of being targeted by a focused gaze grew stronger!

Especially when they entered within a mile of the Boundary Monument!

Lu Xun was walking when he suddenly stopped and looked into the sky.

“Eh? What’s wrong?” Ji Li noticed that Lu Xun was no longer moving and asked with curiosity.

Lu Xun did not answer her; instead, he just looked at the Boundary Monument.

Just now, he very clearly sensed that the gaze came from above!

And the area was a no-fly zone, with a lot of empty space around it.

So, that gaze must have come from somewhere on the Boundary Monument, or from inside the Boundary Monument!

“Lu Xun?” Ji Li gently tugged at his sleeve, asking with concern, “What is it?”

“Nothing, just stay close to me.” Lu Xun felt a bit uneasy.

Upon seeing Lu Xun say that, Ji Li wasn’t going to be reserved!

Not to mention standing closer to him, even if she were glued to him, that would also be fine!

He held the sword sheath, softly asking, “Sword Sheath, can you sense it?”

The black cord on the Sword Sheath floated off and brushed against Lu Xun’s backhand, then it pointed towards the Boundary Monument.

“As I thought.” Lu Xun said to himself.

He turned to look at Ji Li, and saw Ji Li looking at the four characters on the Monument with a puzzled look on her face.

“What’s wrong? Do you have a feeling?” Lu Xun asked.

Ji Li replied, “I can’t explain it. I just have a feeling that these four characters are very mystical. The more I look, the more confused I get.”

“Oh?” Lu Xun was a little surprised as he did not share the same feeling.

Could it be Ji Li would actually gain something from this?

“Follow me, we’re heading to the area where the One Sword and the Ten Thousand Swords are stationed. Even if you find some answer, it would be safer over there.”

“Don’t look at the monument, just keep your head down. Follow me.” Lu Xun grasped her wrist and instructed.

“Okay.” Ji Li stopped looking at the Boundary Monument. Instead, she lowered her head to look at Lu Xun’s large hand. Her heart felt sweet and she secretly hoped that their destination was a little further away.

The areas where One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain’s disciples were stationed were right below the Boundary Monument, split into right and left areas, with everyone keeping to their own side.

All the disciples stationed there were sitting cross-legged under the Boundary Monument, with their longswords placed horizontally on their knees.

And at the very front of both teams, there were two elderly men in green robes, closing their eyes and revitalizing their spirits.

Lu Xun could not gauge their power level, but he could tell from their attire that both of them held positions at the Elder Level.

Two Great Cultivators!

The surrounding area was quite empty. Most people dared not come too close and chose to stand at a distance instead.

As Lu Xun approached, both elders opened their eyes simultaneously.

His appearance immediately caught the attention of disciples from both factions.

A black robe, Bamboo Hat, Sword Sheath…

Added with his exceptional aura…

All of these overlapped perfectly with the rumored figure.

Could this be the rumored Natural Sword Embryo, Demon Sect’s Lu Xun?

The elder on the left spoke first, his voice slightly hoarse, “May I ask if you are Lu Xun of the Demon Sect?”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a stir among everyone around them.

Lu Xun responded courteously, “Indeed, I am.”

Despite appearing calm during this moment, there was a lot of turmoil within him.

Because they were just too close to the Boundary Monument.

Getting this close, his sense of the situation became even clearer.

Lu Xun thought to himself, “Damn! This Boundary Monument is alive!”
