Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1023 - 1023 983 A Big Favor

1023: Chapter 983: A Big Favor 1023: Chapter 983: A Big Favor The Divine Fire of the Sun swathed the body of the Demonic Cultivator, leaving him no chance to evade.

Boom!!!

The Divine Fire of the Sun engulfed most of his body, beginning a vigorous incineration.

Hiss!!

Under the scorching of the Divine Fire of the Sun, almost instantly, half of his body shriveled, turning into a pure black char.

“Ahhhhhh!!!!”

The Demonic Cultivator’s mouth let out a piercing scream, the noise echoing through the forest, startling the surrounding birds into a frantic dispersal.

The Demonic Cultivator collapsed on the ground, his eyes gazing at the sky, his expression filled with nothing but endless despair.

“So it really is the Divine Fire of the Sun…

indeed…”

He sighed in grief.

Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly, “It’s my first time seeing someone daring enough to face off against my Divine Fire of the Sun so recklessly.

You truly are the first, with neither predecessors nor successors.”

“Others who encounter me and see the flames in my hands so fiercely hot, all know to avoid it with caution.

Only you did not believe in such blasphemy.”

Lu Chuan sighed.

Xsu Qing couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “To wield such fierce fire with such ease, yet he couldn’t dodge, serves him right to be burned to death.

He ought to know the power of the Divine Fire of the Sun, yet he stubbornly refused to believe that such divine fire could appear before him.”

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, “An utter miscalculation.”

Xsu You looked at Lu Chuan with complex eyes.

“Is this the Divine Fire?

Its power is truly astounding; it’s my first time witnessing it, and it’s certainly eye-opening.”

“If you nurture the Divine Fire properly, its power might become even more astonishing in the future.”

Xsu You exclaimed.

Although Xsu Changye had encountered countless types of fire, he too could not help but be amazed by Lu Chuan’s Divine Fire of the Sun.

“The Divine Fire truly deserves its position at the pinnacle of all fires, living up to its reputation with astonishing power.

Thank you for helping our sect resolve this crisis.

The whole Ten Thousand Fires Sect is endlessly grateful!”

He bowed to Lu Chuan with a clasped fist, expressing his gratitude.

However, Lu Chuan merely waved it off indifferently, “Let’s head back.

Now that the trouble is dealt with, there’s nothing else to do.

Let’s go.”

Xsu Changye nodded slightly and then led the way back.

“This time, you really saved us from a difficult situation.

It was unexpected that this Demonic Cultivator had such strength, that Xsu You was no match for him, and even I was at a disadvantage.”

While leading the way, Xsu Changye expressed his sentiments.

Xsu You walked up to Lu Chuan and said, “Thank you for the great help you provided to our sect.”

“Xsu You, you fought until the last moment to protect the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, battling the Demonic Cultivator relentlessly.

It seems your heart still holds our sect.”

Xsu Changye looked back at him.

Xsu You smiled and said, “How could I possibly disregard the Ten Thousand Fires Sect?

If the sect is in trouble, I would certainly rush back at the first opportunity.”

“Thankfully, the trouble has ultimately been resolved, and I can rest assured.”

After finishing, Xsu Qing turned to Xsu You and asked, “Are you going back?”

Xsu You sighed helplessly, “Of course.

I’ve been promoted several times under the City Lord’s command, and I don’t want to squander all my previous efforts.”

“Moreover, I’ve learned a lot from the City Lord, including a vast amount of real combat experience.

Relying on the City Lord is like having a towering tree to shield against the wind.”

“All in all, going out to see more of the world is always good.”

He explained patiently.

Xsu Qing sighed helplessly, “Alright, then who will take over the Ten Thousand Fires Sect in the future?”

“Xsu You, I do hope that you will take charge of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect in the future.”

Xsu Changye walked up the steps of the mountain, glancing back with a hopeful look at Xsu You.

“I will come back in the future.

I serve as an official in Cloud Sea City, which isn’t far from the sect.”

Xsu Changye smiled reassuringly, “That’s good…”

Lu Chuan followed at the end of the group, Dongfang Cheng came up beside him and asked, “Shall we head back?”

“The sky is getting dark today, let’s return tomorrow.

I hope everything is well with the Yu family.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “Let’s hope so!”

Xsu You paused for two steps, waiting for Lu Chuan to catch up, then said, “The two of us can return to the city together; it’s on the way.

Let’s head back tomorrow morning.”

“No problem, since that’s the case, let’s travel together.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile.

After all, Xsu You was a subordinate of the City Lord.

Knowing someone connected to the City Lord could be a good thing for Lu Chuan—it might even help him get in touch with the City Lord himself.

The group of five returned to the sect.

Once inside, Xsu Changye spread the news that the Demonic Cultivator had been eliminated, which excited and delighted the disciples.

Afterward, Xsu Changye went back to his room to rest.

Led by Xsu Qing, Lu Chuan came to the guest room where he also settled down for a temporary stay.

…

The next morning, Lu Chuan got up early, had breakfast, and prepared to descend the mountain to return to Cloud Sea City.

After breakfast, Xsu You had already started packing his luggage.

Still dressed in black, he was at the sect’s entrance where Xsu Changye and Xsu Qing both saw Xsu You off.

“Brother, once you’re back in the city, make sure you rest well.

Don’t overexert yourself!”

Xsu Qing waved continuously at Xsu You, calling out to him.

Xsu You revealed a faint smile and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.

I’ll come back when I have time.”

“By the way, you should get along well with Lu Chuan.

He’s someone important and can look after you.”

After Xsu Qing said this, Xsu You couldn’t help but glance at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan gave an awkward smile, “Xsu Qing is talking nonsense again.

I’m not any important figure now.”

“No worries, you’re a benefactor of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect and my benefactor as well.

I should show you some respect.”

He said smiling, and then the three of them began to descend the mountain.

At the base, they arrived at the station, mounted their horses, and started riding toward Cloud Sea City.

When they reached Cloud Sea City, it was already noon.

After entering the city gate, Xsu You stopped his horse and looked at Lu Chuan, “Once we’re in the city, I should return to the City Lord’s Mansion.

If you have time, you can come to find me there, and I will help you out.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, if I run into any trouble in the city, I will come to you.”

Xsu You patted his chest and then, flicking the reins, continued to ride along the main road toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

Dongfang Cheng approached Lu Chuan and said, “Let’s go.

We should visit the Yu family and see how things stand.”

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng rode their horses to the Yu Family Manor.

“Inside Cloud Sea City, the Su family and the Ming family are two powerful and dominant clans.

They occupy parts of the city, with influences spread all over.”

“To get a share despite their obstruction is no easy task.

It seems we must secure the City Lord’s support if we are to gain a foothold in Cloud Sea City.”

Lu Chuan’s words made Dongfang Cheng nod repeatedly, “Indeed, you’re right.

Let’s pay a visit to the City Lord one of these days.”
