Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Xu Yueru’s Identity

"Not just kill you? I wish I could kill both of you!"

Lu Chen’s heart skipped a beat as the Marrow Refinement Realm martial artist apparently could detect his inner thoughts. He straightforwardly admitted it with a tough tone.

Xu Yueru giggled, "He’s in the Marrow Refinement Realm; you can’t kill him! However, would you really be willing to kill me? Of course, if you can give me a thrill, I wouldn’t mind dying by your hand! Even as a ghost, I’d be notorious!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly, turned away, knowing he had bluffed his way through, while cold sweat streamed down his back.

It was obvious that Xu Yueru’s status was quite high.

These past few days, he had planned to learn another thirteen spear techniques, but he later decided to practice the five spear techniques he knew until they were more proficient to achieve surprising effects.

He knew that the Marrow Refinement Realm martial artist must have observed him during his life-and-death battle and certainly researched the moves of his Heavenly Inquiry Spear.

Therefore, during these three days, he had been thinking about how to connect these five spear techniques.

This was not some wastrel like Lu Zhan who could be played with!

...

"Lu Chen has discovered our intentions to make a move; he will surely try to escape the city!"

"Lu Changkong has already sent Lu Changming to that city gate. If he escapes from this side, Lu Changming will likely spot him!"

"Lu Changkong seems to be quite smart. He intends to drag Lu Changming down too!"

"Let them worry about it. In any case, we’ve already got our money. After finishing the job, we’ll leave Yuzhou City as well!"

The group of martial artists had no concerns for what might happen to the Lu Family later on; it had nothing to do with them anymore.

As long as Lu Chen was dead, those coveting the Lu Family’s assets in Yuzhou City would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble with this pretext, and who would care about these ordinary martial artists then?

Not to mention Lu Chen, various powers were indeed harboring their own designs, hoping to reap benefits from the situation.

Even Lu Chen was no different.

However, his benefit was life - to preserve his own and Qin Yaotiao’s lives, to stay away from Yuzhou City!

Yet, as he got closer to the city gate, Lu Chen couldn’t help but become nervous.

Yuzhou City did not impose a curfew; one could enter and leave the city at night, and Lu Chen had left or returned to Yuzhou City on numerous night occasions.

But he had never seen the city gates as bustling as they were today.

At the exit, there was a long queue, and even under his scrutinizing gaze, Lu Chen could see people skulking around!

They thought they could hide their actions under the cover of night, but they didn’t realize everything was visible to Lu Chen!

"This way!"

Lu Chen thought he would have to queue to leave the city, but Xu Yueru led them in a different direction.

"Aren’t we leaving the city? Where is this going?"

Fearing Xu Yueru would not resist making a move, Lu Chen was on guard.

"Taking you out of the city. If you lined up here, wouldn’t you fear the Lu Family’s spies?"

Xu Yueru spoke lightly, "I’ve already made arrangements. There are my people among the city guards!"

Lu Chen was greatly shocked in his heart. Could it be that Xu Yueru’s backer

was the lord of Yuzhou City?

However, the surprise was only momentary. After all, once he was out of the city, he could freely slaughter!

He believed that neither Xu Yueru, the Marrow Refinement Realm martial artist, nor the city guards of Yuzhou would expect such an outcome!

Even if Xu Yueru’s backer started to investigate, he would have long been far from Yuzhou!

Lu Chen still held Qin Yaotiao in his arms, but this time, he leaned in carefully to whisper in her ear, "If I put you down, do not worry about anything, just run as far as you can, understand?"

Qin Yaotiao trembled but nodded and curled up tightly.

Following Xu Yueru, they quickly arrived at a corner of the city wall where someone was already there to meet them.

Without a word, just a slight nod, the expressionless person opened a secret door just wide enough for one person to enter!

"Go in," Xu Yueru moved aside slightly, gesturing for Lu Chen to enter first.

Lu Chen did not move and asked instead, "Where does this lead?"

"There is a secret passage here that leads directly to a small grove outside the city. Once there, just tell me where the goods are!"

Lu Chen nodded, then put Qin Yaotiao on his back again and stepped into the secret door.

Behind him, a glint of viciousness flashed in the martial artist’s eyes as he whispered, "Are you not afraid he’s tricking you?"

"Tricked?"

A rare sneer crossed Xu Yueru’s face as she looked the martial artist up and down and said, "That’s why you come in handy, don’t you?"

The martial artist was taken aback, "You plan to wait for him to speak and then have me torture him?"

"No, no, no," Xu Yueru held up her ample chest, her eyes filled with bitterness and lasciviousness, "He wouldn’t even give me a proper look. When the time comes, I want to sit on him and let her watch closely!"
