Chapter 1060 - 1060 1020 Dealing with the Aftermath

1060: Chapter 1020: Dealing with the Aftermath 1060: Chapter 1020: Dealing with the Aftermath Walking on the wilderness trail, Lu Chuan saw fewer and fewer travelers around.

Looking out into the distance, he spied an isolated structure amidst the overgrown grass.

“That must be the ruined temple Ming Zongyan talked about.

Let’s see if we can find that guy.”

Jyang Ran squinted over and nodded slightly, “How about we dismount and walk over there, so as not to spook the quarry?”

After dismounting, Lu Chuan tied the horses to a withered branch in the bushes.

Then, the two started to head on foot toward the dilapidated temple.

The temple was small; upon entering the courtyard, Lu Chuan noticed a giant Furnace Cauldron filled with incense ash.

He scanned the surroundings, finding nothing but decay and no signs of life.

The building in front of him was especially run-down, with broken tiles and crumbling earth walls.

As Lu Chuan walked into the temple, he saw a god statue and several small carvings beside it.

“Dust is everywhere here, seems like it’s been a long time since anyone visited.”

Jyang Ran curiously swept his gaze around and shook his head in resignation, “I feel that surely no one lives here.”

Lu Chuan crouched down and noticed some faint footprints on the ground.

“There are footprints here, but they’re quite shallow and covered in dust.

It seems someone has been here, but it must have been quite some time ago, as the traces are hardly visible.”

Lu Chuan thought deeply, “Maybe, Ming Zongyan was right, this really could be Wan Qingyuan’s temporary residence.”

“He must have gone to Tiannan City recently, which is why he hasn’t been back for a long time, allowing the traces here to gradually vanish.”

“So, I can roughly guess, this place is Wan Qingyuan’s hideout!”

“However, the key is, there are no new traces, which means Wan Qingyuan hasn’t returned yet.”

Lu Chuan looked around cautiously and said, “How about we wait here for a while?

We might just catch that guy!”

Jyang Ran nodded slightly, “No problem, let’s wait a bit.

If we do encounter him, that would be great.

But what if that guy is really strong, what should we do?”

“No concern there, if he really were strong, he would have directly attacked last night instead of fleeing midway.

He just doesn’t dare to fight me!”

“So, don’t fear him, his strength must be average at best, probably even worse than Ming Baixuan.”

Jyang Ran let out a sigh of relief, “Listening to you makes me feel a lot more relaxed.

Look, there’s a room over there, let’s hide inside.”

The two headed towards a red door nearby.

…

Meanwhile, on the path outside the temple, a figure suddenly appeared, moving slowly along the road.

The man was wearing a gray robe, a bamboo hat on his head, and watched the surroundings warily.

With a delicate and pale face, his eyes sharp as willow leaves, he looked around with acuteness.

“What a waste, that Ming Baixuan, utterly useless, getting backstabbed by his own people.

Such an idiot deserves to die.”

“How careless in using people, to be turned by another, it’s laughable.

But it does make one wonder, what skills could that person have to turn a senior citizen of Cloud Sea City against us after just arriving?”

He simply couldn’t fathom it and even scratched his head in annoyance.

“Anyway, what comes next is up to me.

This Lu Chuan, he really ought to die!”

“Ruining my plans, I’ve got to kill him first, then eradicate the Su family!”

He said, clenching his fists till the joints cracked.

Soon, he arrived in front of the temple gate.

Studying the door carefully for a while, he thought to himself.

“I’ve not been here in a while, but this place remains as concealed as ever, undiscovered by anyone in Cloud Sea City.”

“The Su family are a bunch of fools, even after a city-wide search they won’t find this place.

What a joke.”

He scoffed derisively and then walked towards the door.

Just as he pushed to enter, his brows suddenly furrowed, noticing a tiny fingerprint on the door.

After looking closely, his expression tightened.

“Wrong!

No!

No!

That fingerprint, it’s definitely a recent mark!”

“Damn it, has someone visited?”

“Who would come here?

Impossible, maybe it could be…”

“Perhaps…

just some kids who wandered in here to play and accidentally went inside?”

“Regardless of who it is, their death is certain!”

He bit out angrily.

“Anyway, it definitely can’t be that Lu Chuan character, those fools are currently busy plundering the Ming family’s wealth, they surely won’t pay attention here.”

Wan Qingyuan laughed to himself, then pushed the door and entered.

Upon entering, he became more nervous.

The place seemed normal, calm.

If kids had been playing around here, there would surely be many footprints, and perhaps some things would have been broken.

After all, this place is full of antiques, breakable at the slightest touch.

He took a deep breath, “Damn it!”

These small details told him that someone had been here.

Could it be an ordinary person trying to hide their footsteps?

If an average person stumbled upon this place, they would surely leave behind many traces.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Damn it, could it truly be that Lu Chuan guy here?

Impossible, there are too many remaining members of the Ming family for him to handle!”

He walked briskly towards the temple.

Once inside the hall, he sighed deeply, lit incense, and plugged it in front of the god statue.

“Bless me, the situation isn’t very clear right now.

Keep me safe, and help me achieve my goals.”

“Bless me, succeed in killing Lu Chuan, bless me, succeed in wiping out the Su family!”

“Please show me a sign!”

He looked up at the god statue, but it remained motionless.

“That’s enough.”

He leaned back in a chair next to him, taking a moment to rest.

“Hopefully I haven’t been discovered yet, this hiding spot can’t be kept any longer!”

It was then that Lu Chuan walked out from the side.

“Wan Qingyuan, you must be Wan Qingyuan, right?”

As soon as Lu Chuan spoke, Wan Qingyuan stood up instantly, trembling as he faced him.

“It’s you!

Lu Chuan!”

“I should have known, I really should have, that it’s actually you.

How did you find this place?

Tell me!”

He shouted loudly, looking extremely panicked.

“Heh, it doesn’t matter how I found this place; you should worry about how you’re going to escape.”

Wan Qingyuan slapped his forehead, “Impossible, what reason could there be for you to find this place!”

“It’s so annoying, I shouldn’t have come here, what bad luck!”

He quickly tried to escape, but Lu Chuan immediately drew the Soul Terminating Sword, cutting off his path.

“Don’t even think about running, you’ve got nowhere to go.

Now, it’s time to settle the score!”

“It’s not just me; the Su family will also be settling accounts with you!”
