Chapter 1072 - 1072 1032 Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

1072: Chapter 1032: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole 1072: Chapter 1032: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole After returning to the city, the caravan arrived at the entrance of Yu Residence.

The Yu family’s servants came out one by one, starting to move the mineral ore transported on the horse cart.

It wasn’t until the evening that all the mineral ore was transferred to the storage room inside the Yu Residence.

Lu Chuan stood in the storage room, looking at the shimmering minerals on the shelves, and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Finally got enough minerals, now, it shouldn’t take long to make a breakthrough.”

Lu Chuan picked up a piece of mineral, and a splendid flame erupted in his palm, continuously roasting the mineral until it turned glowing red.

With a squeeze, the mineral shattered into slag, and an invisible airflow entered the flame, augmenting it much like adding wood to a bonfire.

Lu Chuan then began to pick up the second and third pieces of minerals, continuously refining them one after another.

After a series of operations, heaps of ashes had accumulated around Lu Chuan, who had consumed dozens of mineral pieces.

When he released his Nine Heavens Profound Fire again, the fire was significantly more vigorous.

At this moment, there was a knock on the storage room door.

Jyang Ran walked in quickly.

“How is it?

Are these minerals enough?”

Lu Chuan turned and looked at her, saying, “I don’t know if they are enough, but to consume all these minerals, I need a whole day.”

“I choose to go into seclusion tonight, and by tomorrow noon or afternoon, I should be able to handle it.”

Jyang Ran, with a smile, came beside Lu Chuan, walked briskly, and patted Lu Chuan’s shoulder, “There is good news from the City Lord.”

“Huang Tiankang has sent messages to all the mining sites, instructing them to dig for high-quality fire attribute mineral ore.”

“Then, they found an extremely rare mineral, the Blackflame Crystal.”

“This fire attribute crystal contains powerful energy, and if used to make equipment, it could at least create a Heavenly Grade item.”

“If the auxiliary materials are good enough, making an Immortal Artifact isn’t impossible!”

“And such a precious mineral, Lord Huang has said, he wants to gift it to you.”

Lu Chuan was quite surprised, “Gifted to me?

Such a good thing, he doesn’t plan to keep it for himself?”

Jyang Ran spread her hands, helplessly saying, “Of course he wants to keep it, it’s just, he no longer has the chance, the latest news just came, the rare mineral has been stolen.”

Lu Chuan quickly asked, “Stolen?

Who took it?

What exactly happened?”

“Just now, a messenger from the City Lord came to report that they mined the mineral, but before they could transport it, it was robbed, and it seems the person who robbed it is the same one who attacked the caravan during the day.”

Jyang Ran hurriedly explained.

Lu Chuan clenched his fists, “It’s still that bastard, that guy knows I’m collecting fire attribute minerals, he is purposefully opposing me.”

“I guess he’s trying to impede my breakthrough of the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.”

“Unforgivable, this guy is really courting death, I will absolutely not let him off!”

“But…

we don’t even know where he is.

Cloud Sea City is so big, we simply can’t find him.”

After considering thoroughly, Lu Chuan said, “That guy, I can almost confirm, is Wan Qingyuan, that bastard definitely doesn’t want to see me breakthrough to the Stage 2 Nine Heavens Profound Fire, nor does he want to see me help Su Yang grow his legs.”

“I’m going out for a bit, to talk with the City Lord.”

Lu Chuan turned and walked out of the storage room.

At the entrance of the storeroom, Jyang Ran followed behind Lu Chuan and asked, “Then why don’t we just lure that guy out?

Since he wants to prevent your breakthrough, he’ll definitely keep trying to interfere.”

“In that case, let’s spread some false information, saying that another batch of mineral ore is on the way, and you can ambush him in secret.

That guy will definitely make a move.”

Jyang Ran looked at Lu Chuan anxiously.

Lu Chuan stopped walking, pondered deeply for a moment, and said, “That guy isn’t that foolish.

He must be very cautious now.

If we want to force him out of hiding, the best way is to put enough pressure on him.”

“I need to meet with the City Lord!”

Lu Chuan left the Yu Residence and rode to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the City Lord’s Guard once again bowed respectfully to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan quickly entered the mansion and saw Huang Tiankang waiting there.

“Lu Chuan, you’re here.

I knew you would come.

The situation outside is quite complicated right now.”

“Who is the person causing all this trouble, do you know?”

Curious, Huang Tiankang asked, pained by the loss of the precious mineral ore.

“I suspect it’s Wan Qingyuan, that bastard.

After he escaped from the Su Residence, he must not have given up and is still causing trouble.”

“Now, I need your cooperation.”

“Wan Qingyuan, that guy?

It might be him,” Huang Tiankang, frowning, looked at Lu Chuan and continued to ask, “What do you plan to do?”

“Organize a strictly protected team to transport goods back again.”

“This time, make it more impressive and tell the opponent that the carriage is transporting something extremely precious!”

“As long as we put enough pressure on that guy, he will definitely take action.

At that time, I will hide inside the carriage and not escort by its side.

This way, if he takes the carriage, he will take me along too!”

Lu Chuan’s words surprised Huang Tiankang, “Are you sure about this?

If everything goes as planned, it indeed sounds like a good strategy!”

“If that’s the case, then let’s proceed!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Since that’s settled, let’s prepare the carriage then.

Arrange more guards to let that guy know we are transporting something extremely precious this time.”

“Alright!”

…

By nighttime, a carriage drove out of the City Lord’s Mansion, heading towards the northern city gate.

The carriage was escorted by ten elite Cavalry on both the front and back, and there were also the City Lord’s sword-wielding Guards onboard, making it extremely well-guarded.

In such a state, even a passerby could tell that the goods being transported were extraordinary.

So much so that while passing on the road, nobody dared to get too close to the carriage.

Soon, the carriage left the city gates and headed towards the northern mining district.

The coachman in front, flicking the reins, looked back at the carriage and muttered curiously, “I wonder what they’re transporting that requires so many elite escorts.

It’s quite strange.”

The other coachman shrugged indifferently, “Why bother about it so much?

Since it’s valuable goods, it means our reward will surely be substantial.”

“So let’s just honestly transport the goods back, and then we can rest.”

The carriage slowly traveled on the wilderness path, appearing somewhat lonely under the moonlight.

Soon, they passed the area where the previous convoy had an incident.

“The smell of blood is so strong, it hasn’t dissipated even after half a day…” the coachman pinched his nose and waved his hand.
