Chapter 1116 - 1116 1076 The Mystery of the Disappearance

1116: Chapter 1076: The Mystery of the Disappearance 1116: Chapter 1076: The Mystery of the Disappearance The next day, during breakfast, Lu Chuan was eating together with Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang.

“Remember the last time the three of us had breakfast together?

It was just last time.”

“Didn’t expect us to reunite so soon.” Gu Xiaosang said with a chuckle, then picked up some food with her chopsticks.

“By the way, sis, did your dual cultivation with him last night bear any fruit?”

Gu Xiaorou slapped her lightly and retorted, “What dual cultivation?

Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know.”

“I have already broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm.”

“Ah?

Martial Emperor Realm?

For real?

Didn’t you say we were going to progress together?

How come you’ve surged ahead and left me behind?”

Gu Xiaosang said, quite dissatisfied.

“Then why not let him coach you as well?” Gu Xiaorou pointed at Lu Chuan.

“Really?

Chuan, you have to help me too, I want to become stronger!”

Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan earnestly, her hands clasped in front of her chest, looking utterly pitiful.

Lu Chuan simply nodded nonchalantly, “No problem, but you’ll have to wait.

After your sister and I finish our closed-door cultivation, we’ll talk.”

“Closed-door cultivation?

Where are you two going for that?

How long will it take?

Aren’t you bringing me along?”

Lu Chuan continued, “We’re going to a cave by the edge of Cloud Sea Lake, probably for a week?

There’s no need to bring you, just the two of us will suffice.”

“Wow, I see this isn’t just for cultivation.

You two are definitely up to something.”

Gu Xiaorou smacked her lightly, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“To me, it looks more like you’re going on a honeymoon!”

Gu Xiaosang, deeply saddened, lay her head down on the table, “When you both leave, who will I have to play with?”

“Why not hang out with Jyang Ran?

Aren’t you familiar with her now?”

“With her?

To have her take me stealing?”

Gu Xiaorou countered speechlessly, “She doesn’t do that stuff anymore.”

“She’s not one of us at all.

I asked her a little secret, and she wouldn’t tell me.

She just brushed it off, saying it was natural.”

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly, “Is it possible that she really doesn’t know?”

Gu Xiaosang shrugged nonchalantly, “That’s possible, but no worries, Cloud Sea City is big, I can have fun on my own without you two.”

“With so many fun things waiting for me, what do I have to worry about?

Right!

I don’t need to cling to you two.”

Gu Xiaorou smiled reassuringly, “You’re finally getting it.”

Lu Chuan spoke seriously, “There are enemies of mine in the city, it’s best you don’t go out at all, and if you do go out, stick with Jyang Ran.”

At this, Gu Xiaosang looked as if she had lost her soul.

“What?

Can’t go out?

Then what’s the point of living?

I might as well be dead.”

She slumped on the table, very saddened.

After Lu Chuan hurriedly finished his meal, he looked at Gu Xiaorou and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to see Cloud Sea Lake, the largest lake nearby.

Standing by the lake feels just like being at the seaside.”

“Sure, let’s go check it out together.”

“Can I come along too?” Gu Xiaosang raised her hand and asked.

“Let’s go together, there should be no problem with Lu Chuan accompanying us.”

So, the three of them set off together, leaving the Yu Residence.

They rode out of the city, along the lake, heading towards the distant mountains.

“Do you see that?

It’s that mountain.

There’s a cave halfway up the mountain.

Inside the cave, there is a hot spring containing Spiritual Energy that can nourish the body.

Soaking in the hot spring can heal physical injuries, delay diseases, and also assist in speeding up one’s cultivation.”

“This is Cloud Sea Lake, reflecting the mountains, quite a spectacular sight.”

Gu Xiaorou followed the direction Lu Chuan was pointing and saw an expanse of magnificent lake.

On the lake, there were many small boats and quite a few large ships, with numerous anglers fishing along the shoreline.

“Looking at the lake, it seems pretty safe.

How could people disappear?” Gu Xiaorou asked, puzzled.

Lu Chuan shrugged his shoulders, “Not sure.

I heard that those people disappeared at night, so no one knows exactly why.”

Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “These guys also come out to fish at night?”

“Exactly, the fish in the lake contain Spiritual Energy, even richer than Spirit Stones, naturally many are envious, so they all come to fish.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded slightly, “I see.”

“But it’s also strange, fish from other places are very normal, only the fish in this lake contain Spiritual Energy, eating them can aid in cultivation, it’s peculiar.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “I have a guess, possibly because we sit with crossed legs in the hot springs to cultivate, the blood and sweat from our bodies, filled with Spiritual Energy, flow into the lake along the streams, hence creating this phenomenon.”

Lu Chuan’s explanation made Gu Xiaorou’s eyes light up, “Really?

That’s incredible, just half a month, and it changed a whole lake!”

Lu Chuan continued to explain, “The Spiritual Energy released from the Divine Tree branch is so overwhelming that it tears apart human flesh and mixes with the blood.”

“The cultivation method I discovered hasn’t completely absorbed all the Spiritual Energy released by the Divine Tree branch!”

“The majority of the Spiritual Energy, after tearing apart the flesh, mixes with the blood and flows out of the body, following the stream all the way into the lake.”

“Therefore, it caused this situation.”

After finishing his conjecture, Gu Xiaorou suddenly realized and nodded, “I see, so that’s how it is.

I didn’t expect the Divine Tree branch to be so powerful, easily changing the ecosystem of a whole lake.”

“About these missing people, I guess they might have been too tired from fishing at night and accidentally fell in.”

“They really should just rest well at night, no need to continue fishing.”

As Gu Xiaorou spoke, she rode her horse along the lakeside.

Lu Chuan nodded in agreement, “You’re right, they’re all too exaggerated, as if afraid to waste a bit of time, like someone else will take it from them.”

“Then, looking at it this way, these missing people are likely missing due to fishing at night.”

The three continued to ride forward along the lakeside, enjoying the magnificent scenery, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, the surface of the lake exploded, shooting up water several meters high.

Then, a muscular flood dragon burst out of the lake, opened its huge mouth, and pounced towards a nearby large boat.

Bang!!!

The boat was instantly shattered, and those on the boat either jumped into the lake, the rest were swallowed by the flood dragon.

The remaining survivors desperately swam towards the shore, but it was already too late.

For a moment, everyone on the lake, including Lu Chuan and his companions on the shore, were frightened by the sudden appearance of the flood dragon!
