After inquiring several fully booked inns, Lu Lili finally found an inn with available rooms to stay in.
However, the inn was quite far away from where Lu Xingjiang and the others were staying.
Thinking about this, Lu Lili felt relieved since it was also not close to the inn where the bandits were staying.
During her journey to find an inn, she noticed that there were more people around discussing the treasure map. However, most of them doubted its authenticity since everyone had only heard about it and no one had actually seen it.
Oh no, rather, it should be said that those who had seen the treasure map had all died.
The news of the two small sects that had seen the treasure map being wiped out by mysterious individuals had slowly spread among the martial arts community.
Many people even deliberately exaggerated the stories, claiming that all the individuals who were wiped out had turned into vengeful spirits seeking revenge.
As a result, there were now more materials for bedtime stories where parents would deceive their children into going to sleep early.
[Host, it’s time for you to do the task again.]
The system came out with a warm reminder.
Lu Lili naturally understood and replied, “Yes, I want to review the original plot and consider how to proceed.”
The treasure map had already appeared, and she needed to prepare herself mentally to seize the opportunity!
[Okay, host.]
The system continued:
[In this world, you only need to focus on completing the mission, without worrying about preserving your own life. You can fully let go and do your best!]
Lu Lili blinked her eyes, understanding the message. “Oh, so you mean, as long as I help the male lead obtain the treasure map, I can die immediately?”
[Yes, that’s right, host. So give it your all!]
“Ah, this is so tragic. I’m really pitiful,” Lu Lili said with deep sympathy for herself, realizing that she would become a mere tool.
The mission was important, but she didn’t want to die just like that. Who would complain about having a long life?
Oh, she had to figure out a way to obtain the treasure map without a scratch…
Lying on the bed in the guest room, she reviewed the latter part of the original storyline in the system:
—”The major sects gathered in Huan Yang, all vying for the treasure map.
Lu Xingjiang was the first to learn who possessed the treasure map and went alone to find them.
In a small grove outside Huan’yang, he was injured by three black-clothed individuals with superior martial arts skills, who had the treasure map in their hands!
Lu Xingjiang fell to the ground and spat blood. Even though he was formidable on his own, he was no match for the three highly skilled black-clad individuals.
However, the three black-clad individuals had no intention of letting him go. One of them wielded a persistent longsword and swiftly leaped over, preparing to stab it into his heart.
Lu Xingjiang was gravely injured and too weak to evade any longer. He could only watch helplessly as the sharp sword came closer and closer to him.
At this critical moment, the Four Beauties of the Martial World and the Fourth Master of the Huiyun Gang, Xu Xiang, arrived, displaying their martial arts skills.
Seeing that there was no time to knock away the sword aiming for Lu Xingjiang’s heart, Xu Xiang, who had the best martial arts skills and the fastest speed, didn’t hesitate and threw herself in front of Lu Xingjiang.
Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone present, the swiftly approaching sword of the black-clad person ruthlessly pierced Xu Xiang’s body, instantly penetrating through her!
In the end, Xu Xiang fell into Lu Xingjiang’s embrace, weakly smiling and saying that she had no regrets about dying for him, only hoping that he would never forget her.
Witnessing this, the Four Beauties of the Martial World were filled with anger, their eyes seemingly bursting with sparks. They fiercely attacked the black-clad individuals with their weapons.
In the end, the Four Beauties of the Martial World successfully killed the three black-clad individuals and obtained the treasure map from them, handing it over to Lu Xingjiang.
