Douluo: Villain Simulator, Starting with an Iron Sword Martial Soul

Page 106

A remote commercial town.

An accident occurred on the road.

Soul Beast Attack.

In places like this, a child is most likely to disappear.

Who gave this kid the right to ruin things for me?

But Wei Xuan didn't know that.

The system panel appeared the moment Lu Changsheng lowered his head.

[Real-world mission: The truth behind parents' deaths]

[Current Clue Update: Resentful Blood Incense, Outer Sect Elder Wei Xuan, Qing Shi Town Caravan]

Task progress: 6%.

A new phase location has been unlocked: the Qibao Caravan in Qingshi Town.

[Note: This location is indirectly related to the route Lu Yuan and Su Wan took to their deaths.]

Lu Changsheng stared at the line of words, his eyes gradually growing deeper.

Qingshi Town? The route of the parents' death?

It turned out to be the case.

Ning Fengzhi thought this was to allow him to temporarily avoid the turmoil of the main sect.

Wei Xuan thought this was to send him away from the protection zone.

Ning Rongrong thought this was a separation.

But for Lu Changsheng, this may be the first step he takes to get closer to the truth about his parents' deaths.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Ning Fengzhi, and said:

"The disciple understands."

"I will set off for Qing Shi Town early tomorrow morning."

...........

The next morning.

Lu Changsheng packed his bags.

The package was small, containing two sets of clothes, a bottle of wound medicine, a bottle of Soul-Gathering Powder, and a few gold soul coins that Zhao Yuanshan had delivered last night.

Besides that, there was only an ordinary wooden sword.

That was the wooden sword he had been using to practice sheathing his sword these past few days.

The black and gray patterned iron sword is a martial spirit, so there's no need to bring it.

But he took the wooden sword with him.

Because it kept reminding Lu Changsheng of one thing.

The real challenge is not drawing your sword to kill, but being able to sheathe your sword when your killing intent is at its peak.

It was still early, and the outer courtyard had not yet fully come alive.

As soon as Lu Changsheng stepped out of the small house, he saw Zhao Yuanshan standing outside the courtyard.

Zhao Yuanshan looked at the bundle on his shoulder, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"Is everything packed?"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"All right."

Zhao Yuanshan glanced at him, wanting to say something, but didn't speak immediately.

Finally, he simply said:

"The guards arranged by the sect leader are waiting for you outside the mountain gate."

"Qingshi Town is not very close to the main sect; it takes about three days to travel there."

"When you get there, someone will meet you."

Lu Changsheng said:

"The disciple understands."

Zhao Yuanshan frowned and said:

"When you go to Qingshi Town, don't be as sharp and outspoken as you were in the outer courtyard."

"Although that area is under the control of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it is still far from the main sect. The relationships between local caravans, outer sect deacons, hired guards, and merchant forces are more complicated than you imagine."

"You're young, so others might not take you seriously."

Lu Changsheng said in a low voice:

"This disciple will be careful."

Zhao Yuanshan nodded, then after a moment of silence, he suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Also, don't think that leaving the main sect means you're safe."

Lu Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly.

Zhao Yuanshan continued, "The sect leader sent you to Qing Shi Town this time partly to protect you, and partly to test the person behind the scenes."

"You disrupted the situation in the Green Vine Soul Hunting Forest, and the other side has already set their sights on you."

"If you stay in the main sect, you will be their most useful tool."

“But if you go to Qing Shi Town, and they still want to take action, whether it’s against you or Miss Rongrong, they will have to find a different way.”

"At that time, we might actually expose more weaknesses."

Lu Changsheng looked up at Zhao Yuanshan.

Zhao Yuanshan said:

"This is the sect leader's intention."

"That's also what His Majesty Sword Douluo meant."

Lu Changsheng remained silent for a moment, thinking to himself:

It turned out to be the case.

This is not simply exile, nor is it simply isolation.

It was more like temporarily removing his sword, which had already been targeted, from the scabbard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's main sect and placing it in another location.

It may seem far from the core, but in reality, it is also a sword used to test those hiding in the shadows.

"Qingshi Town, Qibao Caravan, route of parents' death."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

Zhao Yuanshan sighed inwardly as he looked at him like this.

The child understood perfectly.

But it is precisely because they understand that they are even more worried.

Six years old.

They should be at an age where they don't understand these things.

Lu Changsheng, however, was already able to discern Ning Fengzhi's deeper meaning in just a few words.

Zhao Yuanshan patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Before you leave, go to Jian Ge."

Lu Changsheng was taken aback: "Senior Sword Douluo wants to see me?"
