1034: Chapter 994 Setting a Trap 1034: Chapter 994 Setting a Trap Lu Chuan woke up early in the morning, had breakfast, and was immediately sought out by Yu Qiming.

Yu Qiming had come to the door of Lu Chuan’s guest room and knocked on the door.

A moment later, Lu Chuan came out.

“Young Master Lu, the situation is getting worse and worse.

Members of my Yu family have recently died in the dozens and more than ten have gone missing,” he said.

“If this continues, we won’t be able to bear it.”

“By then, we might be extinguished before the Ming family!”

He spoke with a face full of nervous concern.

Lu Chuan patted his shoulder, “Fighting with a great family like the Ming family, some casualties are normal.

I can protect you, but I can’t protect everyone in your sect.”

“Next, I’ll take care of the Ming family.”

“Alright then, there’s no turning back now, let’s just fight them to the end!”

Yu Qiming looked at Lu Chuan and continued to ask, “What should we do next?

Fight them directly?”

“Of course not, the challenges have already been issued these past two days.

If the Ming family accepts the challenge, they can still maintain their reputation in the city,” he said.

“If they cannot accept the challenge, it will prove that they don’t have much confidence.”

Just then, a figure ran over from outside the door.

“Family Head, the latest news— the Ming family have announced they accept our challenge!”

The caretaker of the Yu Residence hurried over to Yu Qiming’s side, gasping for air.

“Family Head, I’ve just received the news, the Ming family has accepted our challenge; they want to have a one-on-one duel with us!”

“However, they have a condition, which is that the duel must take place at a venue of their choosing.

If we refuse, then it means we are admitting defeat.”

Lu Chuan sneered coldly, “Obviously, the Ming family doesn’t want their reputation to worsen.

Although they accepted the challenge, they have set a trap.”

“Now, if I accept the challenge, they will surely tamper with the venue.

If I don’t accept, they can then promote widely that I was too scared.”

“This is a clear strategy from the Ming family, making it very difficult to accept.”

Yu Qiming furrowed his brows, voicing his concern, “How should we respond?

Should we agree?

If we do, it’s definitely not going to be advantageous for us.”

“But if we don’t, it seems we won’t gain any advantage either.

Generally speaking, we’re stuck in a predicament again.

The Ming family sure is experienced.”

After contemplating deeply for a while, Lu Chuan looked at Yu Qiming and said, “Go call Jyang Ran over, is she inside the residence?”

“Since she arrived at the residence, she has been in closed-door cultivation.

I’ll go call her out right now.”

Yu Qiming turned and left.

After a while, he came back with Jyang Ran.

Jyang Ran’s face showed impatience, and she yawned occasionally.

“Lu Chuan, I brought her here,” she said.

As soon as Jyang Ran saw Lu Chuan, she immediately perked up.

“Young Master Lu, you’re finally paying attention to me.

What do you need?”

“I need a favor from you.”

Jyang Ran sighed with her hands folded in front of her, “I knew you wouldn’t be summoning me for anything good.”

“What is it?

Just tell me.”

“Aren’t you able to sneak into someone’s residence and steal things?

I would like you to sneak into the Ming Family Residence and help me steal something.”

“The Ming Family Residence?

Steal what?”

Jyang Ran looked at Lu Chuan curiously.

“Steal intelligence.

I want to know what kind of venue they will choose for the one-on-one duel and what tactics they will use against me.”

“Really?

You’re going to start a fight with the Ming family?

Open confrontation?

Not going to wear them down gradually?”

Jyang Ran looked at Lu Chuan with some surprise.

“No need, there’s no point in wasting too much time.

Although the Ming family is a well-established and strong family in Cloud Sea City, I don’t want to spend too much time dealing with them.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll do you this favor then.

The Ming family, right?

Their family defense is very strict.

Back then, I couldn’t sneak in, which led me to choose your Yu family as a target reluctantly.”

Hearing this, Yu Qiming couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, “Don’t bring that up.”

“Well, I’ll try again.

While the Ming family’s defense is strict, there are still loopholes.”

“Hey, if you can’t do it, don’t be too stubborn, be careful not to get caught,” he added.

Jyang Ran placed her hands on her hips, “Are you not confident in my abilities?”

“Don’t worry about me; I’ll handle everything.

Those idiots from the Ming family can’t catch me.”

“Lu Chuan, if I do you this big favor, you better thank me properly.”

After speaking, she turned around and left, walking out of the courtyard.

Lu Chuan watched her leaving back, shaking his head slightly.

“Let’s hope everything goes smoothly,” he murmured.

“Trust in her abilities.

She’ll complete the task successfully,” Yu Qiming said with a smile.

Lu Chuan looked at Yu Qiming and said, “Go and send the message.

Tell the Ming family that I’ve accepted their terms and am ready to begin the one-on-one duel.

They may choose the specific location.”

“No problem, I’ll take care of it!”

He turned and left quickly, starting to arrange the matter.

By noon, the message had already been delivered inside the Ming Family Residence.

Inside the Council Hall in the Ming Residence,

The core members of the Ming family were seated, starting their discussion.

In the hall, Patriarch Ming, Ming Baixuan, sat in the main seat with his sons seated beside him.

Aside from the already deceased Ming Zongsheng, the rest had arrived.

The eldest son, Ming Zongyan, with his hands clasped in a fist, respectfully said, “Father, the latest message just came in— that bastard Lu Chuan has accepted our terms and chosen to have a duel with them.”

“He also agreed to let us choose the venue, giving us the upper hand,” he said.

Ming Baixuan stroked his beard, chuckling, “This kid may have some skills but isn’t too bright upstairs; such a pity, such a pity.”

“A martial artist, a cultivator, it’s not enough to just be strong and of high realm.

What’s important on this jianghu is brains.”

“Now, by clearly giving us the initiative, we must prepare thoroughly for this!”

Ming Baixuan looked at Ming Zongyan and said, “You handle this matter.

You should know what to do.”

“Arrange the venue well, turn it into an unescapable Heaven-Earth Net.

Make it so he can come in but not leave!”

“You must be personally involved and take this seriously.

Avenge your brother well; that scoundrel is the enemy of our family.

Pay close attention!”

Ming Zongyan clutched his fists, “Rest assured, Father, I will do my utmost!”

“Good, then that’s settled.

The rest of you brothers, give your big brother a hand; no more idling with eating, drinking, and merrymaking.

Without removing the enemy before us, I cannot rest easy!”

“Yes!!!”
