Volume 2, Chapter 111 – The Hehuan Demon Sect Ruins

“Yes…”

Lu Zhuxin raised her small hand to support her forehead.

She never needed any evidence.

As long as there was this possibility, it was enough to put her on guard.

Assuming this “Unknown Entity X” really was coming after her,

Then what was the true identity of this “Unknown Entity X,” and what was their purpose?

“Are they a transmigrator newly arrived in another world? Or a book transmigrator familiar with the plot?”

The opponent’s external goals were very clear, and their combat power was exceptionally strong, not something Lu Zhuxin, with her combat power of five, could compare to.

So, they didn’t seem like a transmigrator newly arrived in another world.

Then, were they really a book transmigrator like her?

Or perhaps, like in many quick transmigration novels, a tasker who came with some kind of mission and purpose?

If it was the former, did she know the plot well, and why was she coming after Lu Zhuxin?

If it was the latter, what kind of purpose and mission did she come here with?

Or perhaps, all the above guesses were wrong. She was just an existence with an unclear background, unknown origins, that even the system couldn’t explain to Lu Zhuxin, an indescribable existence?

Lu Zhuxin couldn’t be certain.

There was too little known information right now, so it was difficult for Lu Zhuxin to deduce the true purpose of that “Unknown Entity X.”

“However, I might be able to deduce from another direction.”

A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Zhuxin’s eyes.

That dog system, she obviously knew the identity and true purpose of that “Unknown Entity X.”

And she was happy to see it happen.

Compared to the completely unknown “Qu Qingtang,” that dog system was easier to predict.

What kind of result could make that dog system so happy?

Of course, it was Lu Zhuxin being unlucky, or even failing the mission and becoming a cream puff fox.

Therefore, the result of letting that “Unknown Entity X” achieve their purpose was very likely equivalent to Lu Zhuxin failing her mission in this novel world.

“It’s really strange. If that’s the case, why don’t they directly stop me from conquering those female leads, but instead approach me?”

“Or is it… compared to stopping me from completing the conquest mission, what’s more important is that they need to achieve some purpose on me? Or obtain something?”

If there really was such a thing, then this thing coveted by them should be very important to them.

But Lu Zhuxin thought about it over and over, yet didn’t understand what she had that was worth being coveted?

Lu Zhuxin pondered deeply.

Her finger gently tapped on the name paper she had written with demonic power.

“Lu Zhuxin.”

She raised her eyebrows.

Lu Zhuxin, male, single, unemployed, part-time online writer.

This was herself in her memory.

Utterly ordinary.

What about in terms of this world?

She was the author of the original book, the creator of this novel world.

The weaver of destiny for the heaven-mandated male and female leads of this world.

At first glance, it seemed quite impressive.

But in reality, she was now just a pitiable book transmigrator walking on thin ice in this novel world.

No power.

Weak, helpless, and pitiful.

Did such a person really have something worth others going to great lengths to obtain?

Lu Zhuxin didn’t know.

She frowned, completely clueless.

She felt like she was missing a very crucial, very important piece of information.

“Sigh…” She let out a sigh and smiled bitterly.

At least, one thing could be confirmed now.

If Lu Zhuxin really let that “Qu Qingtang” continue to get close, the result was very likely equivalent to mission failure.

If the mission failed, Lu Zhuxin would be forever trapped in this small world, eternally falling into hell.

“Dealing with Qu Qingtang must be put on the agenda.”

“At the very least, I can’t let her be so unscrupulous anymore.”

How to deal with a Venerable Saint?

For the natives of this small world, this should be an unsolvable problem.

But Lu Zhuxin was not a native of this novel world. As the creator, she was familiar with many secrets in this small world that were little known.

Of course, the premise was that these secrets were written down by her own hand, not supplemented by the Heavenly Dao.

“Ordinary means can’t deal with a Venerable Saint, but what about unconventional means…” Lu Zhuxin began to contemplate the feasibility of this.

For her, this was another gamble.

At the same time, this could also be a test.

Testing whether the opponent’s understanding of the secrets of this world was as extensive as Lu Zhuxin’s.

“Xian’er!” Lu Zhuxin suddenly called out.

“Your Majesty.” Hu Xian’er walked up. “Do you have any instructions?”

Lu Zhuxin looked at this capable assistant of hers.

Earlier, when Lu Zhuxin returned to her bedchamber and sensed something was wrong, she had secretly notified Hu Mei’er to find Hu Xian’er to help.

And Hu Xian’er’s performance had not disappointed Lu Zhuxin at all.

She had actually thought to bring the two sect masters of the Sword Sect to the door, using the Sword Sect’s sect master to stop Qu Qingtang’s actions.

Although this fox demon maid’s cultivation level was not high, her methods and wisdom were very much to Lu Zhuxin’s liking.

Lu Zhuxin could rest assured leaving some important matters to Hu Xian’er.

Up until now, Hu Xian’er’s only failure had been with the heaven-mandated male lead Song Shixuan.

But Lu Zhuxin knew that matter couldn’t be blamed on Hu Xian’er.

“Xian’er, didn’t you investigate the Pure Yang Fox-Subduing Powder on Song Shixuan last time?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

“Mm.” Hu Xian’er nodded.

“Then did you find out where he obtained this kind of ancient demon sect medicine?” Lu Zhuxin asked again.

“…” Hu Xian’er was silent for a moment before continuing, “I didn’t find out where that man obtained that demonic medicine. It’s Xian’er’s fault for not handling matters well, so please punish me, Your Majesty.”

“This isn’t your fault.” Lu Zhuxin was not surprised.

That ruin of the Yin-Yang Hehuan Demon Sect was, after all, one of the heaven-mandated male lead’s fortuitous locations. How could it be so easily found?

However, Lu Zhuxin remembered that in the original text she wrote, after the male lead Song Shixuan obtained the inheritance of the Yin-Yang Hehuan Demon Sect, she never mentioned that ruin of the Yin-Yang Hehuan Demon Sect again.

What wasn’t mentioned in the original text was considered outside the plot and not protected or prohibited by the rules.

Otherwise, like the fox demon suppressant, things prohibited in the text would be erased by the Heavenly Dao rules and prohibited from appearing.

Now, for Lu Zhuxin to find it shouldn’t be a difficult matter.

Others didn’t know what that ruin looked like, but didn’t she know the setting she wrote herself?

“Xian’er, I need you to help me find a ruin now.” Lu Zhuxin said, “The ruin of the ancient Yin-Yang Hehuan Demon Sect. Song Shixuan’s Pure Yang Fox-Subduing Powder was obtained from there.”

Hu Xian’er’s gaze sharpened. She understood the importance of this matter.

The ruin of the ancient Yin-Yang Hehuan Demon Sect, if this kind of thing appeared in the world again, she could imagine what kind of huge waves it would stir up in the cultivation world.

“Your Majesty, do you know where that ruin is?” Hu Xian’er asked.

“Probably… near where the fox clan army is stationed.” Lu Zhuxin thought for a moment and took out a piece of paper to start drawing.

She still remembered that in the original text, the heaven-mandated male lead Song Shixuan was being pursued by a powerful expert from the demon sect and accidentally discovered that ruin while fleeing.

“It’s probably a place that looks like this… like a cliff, and in the cliff there’s a restriction that requires a special method to enter.”

“Yes, that’s it.”

Lu Zhuxin picked up the paper and handed it to Hu Xian’er. “Find it as soon as possible, it’s urgent.”

Hu Xian’er took Lu Zhuxin’s drawing, glanced at it, and her whole fox face expression became awkward.

A stick figure?

An abstract style stick figure at that?

Rеαⅾ оո KatRеаⅾіոɡСаfе

Hu Xian’er silently put away Lu Zhuxin’s drawing.

Thinking to herself that in the future she couldn’t let Lu Zhuxin draw in front of outsiders.

It was quite image-damaging.

However, at least Hu Xian’er could comprehend the essence that Lu Zhuxin wanted to express.

“Your Majesty, there are probably four or five locations that can match the place in this drawing.” Hu Xian’er said, “If we investigate them one by one, it might take several days.”

“Several days is enough.” Lu Zhuxin said, “This matter must be conducted secretly. Bring along experts skilled in formations, and after finding it, seal off the ruin with formations so that no one can enter.”

Hu Xian’er nodded, indicating she understood.

Watching Hu Xian’er leave, Lu Zhuxin breathed a sigh of relief.

She actually really disliked this feeling of using all her strength to strategize.

She was lazy. In her previous life, she was a salted fish.

However now, in this crisis-ridden other world, she didn’t even have a chance to slack off.

[Host, what do you want to do by having Hu Xian’er look for the Hehuan Demon Sect’s ruins?]

The system’s puzzled voice came through.

Lu Zhuxin pulled the corners of her mouth expressionlessly.

“The various secret medicines of the Hehuan Demon Sect are too dangerous for the fox clan. This kind of thing still needs to be firmly grasped in the fox clan’s own hands. That would be safer.”

[I see.]

[Indeed, this kind of thing cannot be allowed to circulate to the outside world.]

Hearing this, Lu Zhuxin chuckled inwardly.

As if!

Of course it was to let the Immortal Venerable Qu also have a taste of the power of the Hehuan demonic medicines!

In the original text, the heaven-mandated male lead dared to go alone to the Fox Palace with only Yuan Ying stage cultivation, using Hehuan secret medicines to take down the Fox Monarch Ming Zhaoxi.

Then why couldn’t Lu Zhuxin, this eighth realm powerhouse, use the Hehuan demonic medicines to take down Qu Qingtang, this Venerable Saint?
