There's Something Wrong With This Account

At the same time, because her skin was excessively pale, her lips stood in stark, bright red contrast.

Now, these bright red lips were slightly apart, stained with fresh blood, adding a touch of tragic beauty in the bewilderment.

Lu Xun, still locking eyes with her, gently spoke again: “What is your name?”

The foreign race woman’s voice trembled as she answered: “Zi Tong.”

She had a pair of dark purple eyes that gave off a somewhat bewitching aura. Her name was Zi Tong.

Upon receiving the answer, Lu Xun nodded slightly.

“[Charm]does have some uses after all.” Lu Xun thought.

Compared to interrogating under duress, attacking the heart’s defenses with[Charm] was obviously more efficient and powerful!

Interrogation was an art.

Although Lu Xun had a pair of nimble hands, he was not adept at this art.

Therefore, instead of selling skills, he decided to “sell” himself.

Don’t underestimate the power of[Charm]at only 4 points, it depends on who is using it.

With an added bonus of[Charisma10], even[Charm4] could have a terrifying effect!

It’s a simple principle; apply the same smile to different people, and you will understand.

Of course, this is thanks to Zi Tong being quite weak at the moment, both physically and mentally.

Otherwise, a foreign race who could cultivate to the seventh level naturally had a firm mind and wouldn’t be so easily affected by[Charm].

However, if[Charm]could continue to gain points, reaching seven, eight or even ten points, then the situation would be different.

Lu Xun looked at her unique dark purple eyes, and continued to gently ask: “Which tribe are you from?”

“The Nine King Totem Tribe,” Zi Tong answered truthfully.

Lu Xun nodded, his fingers still holding her chin, meeting her gaze.

Surprisingly, though her skin was pale, there was a moist touch to it.

“After the battle at Frost Feather City, how many of you are left?” Lu Xun continued to ask.

With this question, he clearly felt Zi Tong’s countenance become somewhat conflicted.

Indeed, this person had a determined mind and was difficult to control even in such a weakened state.

But luckily, her struggle lasted only a moment, like a symbolic resistance.

This gave off a strange feeling as if she was reluctantly accepting it.

Her dark purple eyes were once again unfocused, her lips parted to answer: “Minus the nine you killed, there are 432 left.”

“Yo, your Maths is not bad, you were able to calculate it on the spot, even subtracting it directly for me,” Lu Xun thought to himself, his attention somewhat sidetracked.

In other words, these more than 400 survivors were responsible for the massacre at Frost Feather City.

Thinking about this, Lu Xun’s composure, which was already cold towards the foreign race, suddenly became even colder.

The right hand holding Zi Tong’s chin involuntarily applied more force.

At this moment, he noticed Zi Tong’s temperature rising.

However, he didn’t think much about it.

A rising body temperature is a normal phenomenon, isn’t it?

Although he was restrained in this life, he was a man with plenty of experiences; he understood these physiological reactions.

If it was cold, that would be strange.

After a moment of contemplation, he asked again: “Where are they currently gathered and are there any altars in this area?”

Zi Tong’s face again showed a struggle, and after two seconds, she fell back into the abyss, trying to answer: “They are not gathered, they are scattered across… Ah!”

She suddenly looked pained, veins popped out on her pale forehead!

Lu Xun abruptly let go of her chin, as it was just too hot!

“[Blood Pact]!” After a moment of silence, Lu Xun exhaled these two words.

Although he could breach defenses using[Charm], due to the existence of the[Blood Pact], the questions he could ask were still limited.

Looking back now, he had distinctly felt a rise in her temperature, probably during the revealing of the specific number of people, the[Blood Pact]already started to react.

“You actually…actually…know about the[Blood Pact]!” Zi Tong’s body convulsed, her face contorted with pain as she stared at Lu Xun uttering her last words.

From the moment the[Blood Pact]activated, she was free from the effects of [Charm], due to the severe pain.

At this moment, every drop of blood in her body was burning!

Her body was twisting, howling in pain, her long legs starting to deform.

She quickly appeared depleted.

In just a few moments, she turned into a shriveled corpse!

“The Blood Pact is irreversible,” Lu Xun said, looking at the scene before him.

Even if Zi Tong had sobering thoughts right after recovering her consciousness, and no longer intended to betray him, the Blood Pact would not stop burning.

What’s more, the Blood Pact was peculiar — for whatever reason, once you harbored a treasonous thought or enacted a treasonous deed, it would activate immediately!

—— Without exception!

Even the most powerful Foreign Race could not resist the Blood Pact!

Let alone Zi Tong who was very weak at the moment, even in her prime, she would be instantly burned to death by the Blood Pact, her blood drained away, soul shattered into fragments!

Looking at the twisted dry corpse on the ground, Lu Xun could imagine how much agony she must have been in.

“The Foreign Race is ruthless towards the Heavenly Dust Continent, just as ruthless towards their own kind,” Lu Xun took one last look at the corpse, no longer squatting, but slowly getting up.

The existence of the Blood Pact made things difficult for him.

He originally thought that through Charm, he could extract some information to some extent, but the result was still not substantial.

The only consolation was that he had unexpectedly earned 250,000 Experience Points and 100 Contribution Points.

“Does this mean … I successfully triggered the Blood Pact, burned her to death, so it’s also considered that I killed her?”

“The legendary true ‘lip service’?” Lu Xun was slightly stunned.

But this had led him to a new line of thought.

If one day, continuously improving Charm reached a considerable value, and his Character Level also leveled up, he might really be able to kill with words!

Simply use Charm, then ask a question that could trigger the Blood Pact, won’t the Foreign Race be burned alive?

Real ‘lip-and-tongue combat’!

“Man—— I underestimated this attribute before!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Since the lab rat had been toyed to death by him, Lu Xun had to get on with the task at hand.

He had only been using Zi Tong as a test subject to try out the effects of Charm, never intending to spare her life in the first place.

However, judging from the manner of her death, if he wanted to torture a Foreign Race, the Blood Pact might be the best approach.

Lu Xun looked around and assessed the altar.

The altar was not as large as the Ancient Altar in the Uncold Forest, its size was similar to the one he had previously destroyed.

The Three-eyed Statue still looked the same, no matter from which angle you looked at it, its three long eyes seemed to be staring at you.

“Perhaps it’s not only watching the Heavenly Dust Continent but also these Foreign Races?” Lu Xun guessed randomly.

Having assessed the full view of the altar and confirmed that it had no special features, Lu Xun’s fingertips lightly tapped the Sword Sheath and immediately a massive amount of Sword Qi sprang forth.

“Go,” Lu Xun commanded.

The Sword Qi immediately shot out in all directions, beginning to destroy the altar.

Lu Xun let the Sword Qi scatter, went to the front of the Three-eyed Statue himself, and used the Finger-tip Sword Qi to directly reduce it to dust.

Those three eyes continued to stare at him, causing him to feel uncomfortable and disgusted.

Soon, the altar began to collapse.

A notification popped up in front of Lu Xun.

“[Ding! You have successfully destroyed the altar, do you want to claim the reward?]”

Lu Xun decisively chose to Claim.

Immediately following, three notifications jumped out.

“[Ding! You have received a reward of 1 million Experience Points!]”

“[Ding! You have received a reward of 5,000 Faction Contribution Points!]”

“[Ding! You have received a reward of 5 Random Special Attribute Points!]”

Looking at the third notification, Lu Xun sighed in his heart, “I’m getting more and more Special Attribute Points. This time they only gave 5 points. It really gets harder the further along you go. It’s the same principle as Cultivators finding it increasingly more difficult to break through as they progress.”

Lu Xun did not choose to stay here and draw Special Attribute Points because the commotion he had just stirred up was not small. It was best to leave this place first.

He needed to find a quiet place, have the Sword Qi protect him, and then draw points.

And don’t forget, with the additional 5000 Contribution Points he got this time, he had now accumulated over 20,000 Contribution Points in the Mall.

This meant he could exchange another point of Swordsmanship Aptitude again!

This filled him with excitement and he even felt eager to go on.

“Better leave here quickly and find a place to add points,” Lu Xun couldn’t wait any longer.

It’s a pity that Jiang Nan’an was far away in the Southern Territory, otherwise he could pat his shoulder and rub off some of his luck.

But Lu Xun quickly had a new thought.

“Without the ‘Son of Destiny’ Jiang Nan’an, it doesn’t really matter.”

“Because…I have my own Lucky Koi.”
