Chapter 1038 - 1038 998 Covert Collaboration

1038: Chapter 998: Covert Collaboration 1038: Chapter 998: Covert Collaboration After receiving the other party’s consent, Lu Chuan felt much more at ease.

At that moment, a series of knocks came from the door.

“Is anyone there?

I am a young master of the Ming family, may I ask for the door to be opened?

I come to seek an audience for a favor.”

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Chuan knew that someone from the Ming family had arrived.

Lu Chuan stood up, ready to leave.

However, he couldn’t afford to let anyone from the Ming family catch even a glimpse of him now, so he had to find a place to hide first.

“Someone’s here, I need to hide for a bit.

I can’t let my whereabouts be exposed, otherwise, they won’t continue with the plan as scheduled.”

“No problem, you go hide.

I’ll handle things here.”

With that, the large door opened and the puppet appeared before everyone’s eyes.

A group of more than ten people came in, led by the second young master of the Ming family, Ming Zongxuan.

He couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing the puppet.

“I have been hearing all morning that Master Yuan Huan’s puppetry skills are top-notch, and today we truly get to see it with our own eyes.”

“Please come in first.”

The puppet turned and walked into the courtyard.

Following him, Ming Zongxuan walked inside.

“Please take a seat.

What brings so many of you here?

What do you want with me?”

After sitting down, Ming Zongxuan looked at the puppet and said with a smile, “It’s nothing serious, mainly I’m here to ask for a small favor.

We just need a Formation set up.”

“Is that so?

That doesn’t sound like a small matter to me.

Tell me more about what you need.”

Ming Zongxuan laughed excitedly, “That’s the spirit.

The task is simple, I need you to set up a killing array.

I want to kill someone named Lu Chuan!”

“Is that so?

Lu Chuan?

If he has the surname Lu, wouldn’t that make him part of the Lu family?

If he’s from the Lu family, then that’s trouble I cannot afford to provoke.”

Ming Zongxuan shook his head repeatedly, “I know you have some conflicts with the Lu family and you’re worried about retaliation from them, but rest assured, he’s not a member of the Lu family.

On the contrary, he’s an enemy of the Lu family, a thorn in their side.”

“Don’t worry about it, killing him won’t have any repercussions on you.

He’s alone and easy to kill; there’s no need for anything too complicated,” Ming Zongxuan said cheerfully.

“Is that so?”

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Huan clearly understood the situation.

Obviously, Lu Chuan hadn’t deceived him; he truly was an enemy of the Lu family, and had come to the Kunlun Domain for revenge.

“Well, I more or less understand now.

Since that’s the case, I’ll think it over.”

“There’s no time for thinking!

In two days, we are going to take down this Lu Chuan.

We don’t have the luxury of time now!”

He pressed his hands on the table in a hurry, anxiously looking at the puppet in front of him.

“Is that so?

But I haven’t planned on agreeing.

I have no interest in getting involved in worldly power struggles.

So, please leave, or perhaps find another Array Master.”

“I’m not interested in this at all.”

“If you help us out this time, our Ming family guarantees you and your daughter a life of glory and wealth for the rest of your days, completely free from want!”

Yuan Huan snorted in disdain, “The integrity of your Ming family, I cannot guarantee.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Ming Zongxuan’s face changed and he slapped the table, staring at the puppet.

“In short, I won’t be helping you.

Please leave and don’t waste time here.”

“You bastard, have you gone mad?”

“You dare to refuse an invitation from our Ming family; it seems you’re looking for death!”

“You’ve probably been out of touch for too long and forgotten just how formidable we are!”

Ming Zongxuan slapped the table angrily, as if ready to take action.

The men he had brought with him drew their weapons, preparing to join the fray.

Yuan Huan fell into contemplation upon seeing this.

A simple refusal didn’t seem to help much.

If he agreed to help but changed his mind halfway, wouldn’t that be exactly what the Ming family wanted?

With that thought, Yuan Huan changed his attitude.

“Ming Zongxuan, there’s no need for anger.

This time, I’ll help your cause.”

“Isn’t it just setting up a Formation in two days?

Leave it to me, I’ll handle it.”

“Hahahahaha!”

Ming Zongxuan burst into laughter, thinking his threats had been effective.

“Don’t misunderstand, I wasn’t scared.

With all of you here flipping heaven and earth upside down, you still couldn’t find me.”

“I would never fear you bunch.

I agreed simply to make some money for my daughter’s sake.”

“I know that a person of your stature values face, and some things can’t be said too openly.

I am quite clear on that.”

Ming Zongxuan smiled knowingly, then stood up, ready to leave.

Yuan Huan sighed helplessly as he watched them leave.

Once they were gone, he finally spoke, “Lu Chuan, come on out.”

Lu Chuan came out and walked over, pulling out a chair to sit down.

“I didn’t expect it, I just knew you wanted to get back at the Lu family, but I didn’t realize you were actually from the Lu family yourself.”

“The situation is clear now; I have to set up the Formation for them, but fundamentally, I’m on your side.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I kinda guessed your thoughts.

Rejecting them now doesn’t seem necessary.”

“However, you must be wary.

After I set up the Formation, they will certainly try to take control of me.”

“If they fail, I’m afraid I’ll be the first one they kill.”

Lu Chuan nodded again, “I understand, don’t worry.

I will try to spare lives when possible and then find you.”

“Good, I trust your abilities for now.”

“I’ll get my things ready to leave.

You can go back and prepare as well.”

Yuan Huan continued, “The Formation I will be setting up is the Seven-Star Deadly Array Formation.

During the battle, they will push you towards a specific spot; once you reach that location, the Formation will activate and attempt to execute you.”

“However, I’ll tamper with it.

When they start forcing your position, give them a run for it.

In the end, the one who will be killed is going to be one of them.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I understand.

I will be cautious.”

“All right, this is not so complicated.

I have told you all I need to.

You can go now.”

“Remember, when you go back, don’t do anything that might expose you.

Otherwise, it will be the end of me!”

Yuan Huan reminded.

Lu Chuan nodded heavily, “You can rest assured, I will keep it secret.”

“Whether the Ming family can be eradicated depends on you.

I believe in your abilities; you’ve come this far, you’re definitely not an ordinary person.”

Lu Chuan patted his chest, “Don’t worry.

I’ll give it my all.

This time, the Ming family cannot escape their fate!”
