Chapter 1098 - 1098 1058 Heading to the City Lord's Mansion

1098: Chapter 1058: Heading to the City Lord’s Mansion 1098: Chapter 1058: Heading to the City Lord’s Mansion Lu Chuan did not hesitate, nor did he intend to give Wan Qingyuan any chance.

He chopped off Wan Qingyuan’s head, put it in a sack, and left the lakeside with his head in tow.

Although he was decapitated, astonishingly, Wan Qingyuan was still alive.

Lu Chuan thought that perhaps only by incinerating his head with the Divine Fire of the Sun could he be truly vanquished.

Otherwise, this guy would still have all sorts of means to recover completely.

After leaving the lakeside, Lu Chuan mounted his horse and quickly arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.

As he approached the vicinity of the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Chuan sensed something out of the ordinary.

There were almost no pedestrians in sight, and the normally bustling vendors were nowhere to be seen.

Lu Chuan stuffed Wan Qingyuan’s head into the sack and headed to the City Lord’s Mansion with the bloodied bag in hand.

Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise, this blood-soaked sack would indeed be quite horrifying.

Arriving at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Chuan saw the figure of Su Jingqian as soon as he approached.

He stood at the entrance, his face extremely solemn.

Lu Chuan walked quickly over and asked, “What’s the situation inside?”

“Yu Qiming, Jyang Ran has already gone in.

They asked me to guard the entrance.

I still don’t know the situation.

You might want to hurry in and see for yourself.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Then you just keep a good watch at the door.

If there’s any situation, come find me.”

“Okay, I will.”

Lu Chuan crossed the threshold and stepped into the City Lord’s Mansion.

After entering, Lu Chuan unexpectedly found peace inside; the servants of the Mansion were busy and orderly, and the City Guards were also training diligently in the nearby practice fields.

Lu Chuan directed his steps towards the sleeping chambers of City Lord Huang Tiankang.

Upon reaching the entrance, Lu Chuan saw that the door was wide open, so he walked quickly inside.

What he encountered was Huang Tiankang sitting there drinking tea and eating desserts.

Dongfang Cheng, Yu Qiming, and Jyang Ran had already arrived there.

“Honorable City Lord, the situation is as such, that person named Wan Qingxue, she really came for you, they plan to make a move against you!”

Yu Qiming looked at Huang Tiankang with grave urgency.

Huang Tiankang picked up a sweet osmanthus dessert from the table beside him and put it into his mouth.

“Don’t worry, that guy won’t breach my impenetrable defenses.

I’ve got full protection here; she simply can’t come in.”

He spoke with great confidence.

“Could you have heard some kind of rumor?

How could Wan Qingxue act against me?

I have no grievances with her.”

He said dismissively.

Yu Qiming sighed helplessly.

“Honorable City Lord, it’s Young Master Lu Chuan who told us this.

He never jokes; his words are always true!”

“Do you trust him that much?

Is he the embodiment of truth?

Stop with the nonsense.

If a villain comes in, I’ll be aware.”

He spoke with a calm indifference, not taking the matter seriously at all.

Seeing this, Yu Qiming was completely lost for words, not knowing what to do next.

At this moment, Jyang Ran stepped forward, grabbing his shoulder with a domineering tone, “Lord Huang, I address you as City Lord, and you’re going to obey me!”

“I don’t care whether you believe Lu Chuan or not, I have no doubts!

If you continue in your delusions, we’ll have to take firm action!”

Huang Tiankang angrily slapped the table, “What do you mean?

I might be afraid of Lu Chuan, but am I supposed to fear you as well?

Are even you capable of threatening me now?”

Jyang Ran crossed his arms in front of him, a cold smile on his face, “Let’s wait till Lu Chuan arrives and discuss it with you?”

The temper in Huang Tiankang vanished in an instant as he swallowed nervously, “If everything is fine here, then don’t waste your time, even if Wan Qingxue is planning to ambush me, what can I do?

I can’t even catch a glimpse of her, who knows where she is right now?”

Jyang Ran continued, “It’s simple, from now on, seal off the City Lord’s Mansion.

Nothing is allowed to enter, understand?”

“Ah…

So obstinately misguided, no choice then…”

He sighed resignedly.

“Let’s wait a little longer, until Lu Chuan arrives to talk.”

Just then, Lu Chuan walked in, “No need to wait any longer, I’m already here.”

Jyang Ran turned to look at Lu Chuan, immediately showing a smile, “Lu Chuan, you’re finally here.

This guy is unreasonably stubborn, refuses to believe that Wan Qingxue is out to kill him.

You talk to him; I’m at my wit’s end with him.”

Lu Chuan approached him briskly.

“Huang Tiankang, do you not believe what I say?”

“Of course I believe…” Huang Tiankang looked guilty.

“Then why don’t you listen to them?”

“I…

I haven’t seen the enemy, why should I be so worried?

What if your information is wrong?

Wouldn’t I be wasting time?”

He laughed awkwardly, spreading his hands.

Seeing he was still obstinately misguided, Lu Chuan tossed the bag he was carrying onto the ground.

The bag opened, and Wan Qingyuan’s head rolled out.

“Let him tell you.”

Huang Tiankang jumped in fright at the head on the ground and quickly stood up, “What…

what is this?”

Lu Chuan took a step forward and kicked the head, “Wan Qingyuan, tell him!”

Wan Qingyuan closed his eyes, as though he was truly dead, but Lu Chuan knew he was just in a dormant state, still not dead.

“This…

this is a head!

He’s dead, how can you make him speak?”

Huang Tiankang looked at the head on the ground with a panic-stricken face.

“This guy is Wan Qingyuan; his task just now was to stall me, to prevent me from coming to your mansion, to stop Wan Qingxue.”

“But…

you said Wan Qingxue isn’t here at all, who are you trying to stop?” He looked at Lu Chuan, bewildered.

“What did you just eat?”

Huang Tiankang scratched his head, looking towards the osmanthus cake on the table, “Just these sweets.”

“Who served you?”

“A…

servant, maid, I don’t specifically remember.”

“After eating, did you feel anything wrong with your body?”

Huang Tiankang swallowed nervously, his brow furrowing, “No.”

Lu Chuan frowned deeply, both Wan Qingxue and Wan Qingyuan were from the Blood Wail Sect.

If that was the case, then they should have many ways to control someone.

If they had taken control of Huang Tiankang, then naturally, they would have the power to lock down the entire city, thereby encircling him.

From the boasting statements of Wan Qingyuan, Lu Chuan could infer these points.

However, what was strange was that everything here was tranquil, as if nothing had happened.

But Wan Qingxue was extremely cautious and meticulous in her actions; this wasn’t the first time Lu Chuan had been deceived, so until the very last moment, he wouldn’t give up.

“Yu Qiming, go check the courtyard, see if there’s anything wrong with the others.”

“Alright, I’ll be right back.”

Yu Qiming turned and left the City Lord’s sleeping chamber.
