Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1071 - 1071 1031 Suffering Destruction

1071: Chapter 1031: Suffering Destruction 1071: Chapter 1031: Suffering Destruction In the Yu Residence’s courtyard, Lu Chuan stretched his body, feeling much refreshed after a day of practicing within his room.

At this moment, Lu Chuan called to the caretaker beside him, “Caretaker, did anyone from the City Lord’s come today?”

“Young Master Lu, no one has come to visit the entire day.”

Lu Chuan’s brow furrowed, “Why would that be?”

“Really, no one came?”

“I had an agreement with the City Lord, and he promised me that someone would transport ore to our manor today.

Even if it hadn’t been delivered, someone should have come to tell us, right?”

The caretaker shook his head helplessly, “Back to Young Master Lu, truly no messages came, no one visited.”

Lu Chuan sighed in resignation, “Alright then, I’ll wait a bit longer.”

“Okay.”

The caretaker turned to leave but had only taken a few steps when a servant hurried over.

“Caretaker, visitors have arrived!

It’s people from the City Lord!”

The caretaker quickly approached, asking, “Finally, they’ve come.

How many people are there?”

“Just one?”

“What?

Just one?

Weren’t they supposed to bring ore?”

“No, nothing was brought over, that person came to deliver a message.”

The caretaker scratched his head, looking bewildered.

“A messenger?

Have him come in quickly!”

With that, the caretaker made his way back to Lu Chuan.

“There’s a message from the City Lord’s side; one person has come to visit, as a messenger.”

Lu Chuan looked at the caretaker, saying, “Let him in, I want to see what message he’s here to deliver.”

Soon, a lightly armored soldier walked briskly in, knelt halfway before Lu Chuan and said.

“Young Master Lu!

The Honorable City Lord has sent me with a message for you!”

Lu Chuan looked down at him, saying, “Speak directly, what’s the situation?”

“This is the case, we were transporting a convoy of ore into the city as per your agreement!”

“But on our way, we encountered an attack by the enemy!

All of our convoy was ambushed and perished mid-journey!”

His hands trembling with panic, his forehead bedecked with sweat beads, “Then, the ore was taken away!”

Lu Chuan inquired, “Was it bandits?”

“I don’t know, we don’t know why they suddenly targeted us, this has never happened before, no one would dare rob the City Lord’s convoy!”

Lu Chuan’s eyes fixed on him, scrutinizing, asking, “Is this affair true, or is it fabricated?”

The messenger hastily cried, “Absolutely true, look at the blood on me, it’s just spattered on me!”

“I have no reason to lie, neither does the City Lord, we aren’t lacking that bit of ore.”

He said nervously.

Lu Chuan stroked his chin, sinking into deep thought.

“Who else could it be?

Wan Qingyuan, or could it be…”

“Could it really be that scoundrel?

After his escape, does he still have such audacity?”

“No matter what, this incident must be resolved, breakthrough of my Nine Heavens Profound Fire, it is of paramount importance!”

Lu Chuan looked at the soldier before him, saying, “Now, organize a second convoy to come, I’ll personally oversee its protection!”

“That…

can be done…

I’ll go prepare the second convoy right away, or would you come along, sir?”

Lu Chuan strode towards the gate, “Let’s go together, I’ll personally escort it, I refuse to believe that bunch of scoundrels have such nerve!”

As soon as Lu Chuan left, Jyang Ran followed suit.

“Hey, take me with you, I’ll help you out.”

Jyang Ran caught up behind Lu Chuan, patting his shoulder.

“Alright, let’s go together, you have nothing else to do here anyway.”

Lu Chuan turned to Dongfang Cheng, saying, “Stay well in the manor, don’t run around!”

Dongfang Cheng nodded, “Rest assured, be careful, no accidents.”

Lu Chuan waved off, “No, there won’t be any.”

After stepping outside, Lu Chuan mounted his horse and, led by the soldier, the trio swiftly departed Cloud Sea City.

Before long, they arrived at the site of the incident, located north of the city.

From a distance, Lu Chuan saw bodies littering the ground.

“Yes, right there, that’s where we were attacked, all of us were killed, the carriages were gone.”

Lu Chuan looked at the soldier, asking, “The enemies who attacked you, what were they like?”

After pondering for a moment, the soldier said, “The person wore black and red attire and was very agile.

In just a few moves, our soldiers exploded and died.”

“Their techniques were very strange; none of us could see what that person did, and soon most of us were dead.”

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, “It’s probably a Demonic Cultivator.”

“Was it Wan Qingyuan?” inquired Jyang Ran.

“I don’t know, possibly.”

“That scoundrel wouldn’t dare face me directly, so, this time I’ll personally escort, he can only watch helplessly from the shadows!”

Lu Chuan stated with a grave tone.

They left Cloud Sea City far behind as they continued along the road, and soon, Lu Chuan saw another convoy slowly approaching.

The captain leading the convoy rode swiftly to Lu Chuan’s side.

“Young Master Lu, the second convoy is ready, shall we return to the city?”

Lu Chuan looked at the captain, saying, “Continue back to the city.

We won’t encounter an attack this time, I will personally escort.”

“Alright, thank you for your troubles.”

“No trouble, it’s meant to be mine anyway.

Doing a bit personally is only to be expected.”

With that, Lu Chuan, Jyang Ran, and the captain took the lead, followed by a convoy consisting of five horse-drawn carriages.

“How much ore is there in total?”

Lu Chuan inquired.

“There are five hundred pieces of fire attribute ore of varying quality.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Not bad, after absorbing these, the gap should narrow significantly.”

Jyang Ran looked at Lu Chuan, “How much do you feel is left?”

Lu Chuan’s brows knitted slightly as he felt the Nine Heavens Profound Fire within his body.

“Uncertain, but with five hundred pieces, it’s surely enough; if the quality is too poor, then perhaps another one to two hundred pieces will be needed.”

“First, let’s go back and see.”

Lu Chuan continued riding forward.

The breakthrough of the Nine Heavens Profound Fire was extremely important to Lu Chuan, and of course, it was also very significant for Su Yang of the Su family.

After strengthening the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, there was also the Divine Fire of the Sun waiting, both fires being Lu Chuan’s crucial trump cards, enhancing them would bring astonishing results.

They traveled the distance and soon saw the city gates from afar.

Having not encountered a second attack was a stroke of luck within misfortune.

Arriving at the city gates meant that this transportation mission was a success.

“Those assailants didn’t dare to make a move after your personal escort; it’s possible it really was Wan Qingyuan, that scoundrel.

He’s always been afraid of you.”

Lu Chuan rode through the city gate, pondering for a moment before saying, “It probably was that scoundrel causing trouble, but he won’t have a second chance.

If I see him again, I’ll burn him to ashes with fierce fire!”
