Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1130 - 1130 1090 The Death of the City Lord

1130: Chapter 1090: The Death of the City Lord 1130: Chapter 1090: The Death of the City Lord Lu Chuan returned to the Yu Residence, where Yu Qiming, Jyang Ran, and Gu Xiaorou were waiting together to welcome him.

After returning to the residence, Lu Chuan went to the pavilion in the courtyard, drank some water, and began to seriously recount what had just happened.

“I did as City Lord Huang Tiankang said, went to the designated location, and indeed encountered that guy.”

“However, that flood dragon is no longer my main target; it is now someone’s henchman, cooperating with another person!”

Yu Qiming curiously watched Lu Chuan and asked, “He even got himself a henchman?

It’s not a demon beast from the lake, is it?”

“It could be a Python Demon Beast or a Crocodile Demon Beast!

No, wait, there are no crocodiles here.”

Jyang Ran speculated.

Lu Chuan slightly shook his head, “His helper is a person, and from the Lu family.

The Lu family sent someone to trouble me, and that guy likely came alone and found the flood dragon to use as a henchman.”

“So, do you understand?

The situation is like this.

The person from the Lu family is named Lu Ziyang, an alchemist, and his most formidable aspect is that he practices both alchemy and Formation.”

“And he combines elixirs and Formations, creating a bizarre Formation using elixir pills as weapons to attack me.”

Jyang Ran couldn’t help but sneer lightly, “Elixir pills as weapons?

He didn’t just throw elixir pills at you, did he?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “You’re right.

He indeed pelted me with elixir pills.

He produced a large batch of sub-standard elixir pills, like the Thunderclap Pellets.

The lightning was not contained within the pills but leaked out.

When thrown at me, they could cause electrical damage, which was quite annoying.”

“Wow, this guy is really shirking his duties, specifically making faulty elixir pills.

I guess his alchemy skills are not up to par.”

Jyang Ran complained.

“Maybe, he told me he was the top alchemist of the Lu family; it must be on purpose.”

“Heh, always pretending, definitely bluffing,”

Jyang Ran confidently expressed.

Lu Chuan slightly shook his head, “I don’t think so; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to produce the Transformation Pill.

After all, such elixir pills are extremely rare and difficult to concoct.

An ordinary alchemist wouldn’t be able to do it.”

Jyang Ran then nodded slightly, “Is that so?

Then maybe what he said is true, but to think of such an idea is indeed impressive.”

“Anyway, halfway through the fight, that guy ran out of elixir pills and ran away.

I reckon he doesn’t have any other means of attack.

If he wants to fight me, he can only rely on the elixir pills he concocted.”

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, Yu Qiming immediately fell into deep thought.

“Lu Chuan, since he has used up all his elixir pills, doesn’t it mean he needs to concoct a new batch of elixir pills before he can fight you again?”

“If that’s the case, let’s collect all the herbal materials needed to make elixir pills in the city, so he can’t get a large quantity of raw materials, won’t we have the advantage then!”

Yu Qiming’s suggestion was met with great approval from Lu Chuan, “That’s what I was thinking.

If so, then I’ll trouble everyone to go to various material sales points in the city to buy up the materials.

Don’t worry about the cost; we won’t be short on money.”

Yu Qiming immediately stood up, nodding earnestly, “No problem, leave this to me.

I’ll go and fetch all the herbs in the city.”

“However, the largest herb seller is the Su family; it might be difficult to buy all the herbs from them.”

Lu Chuan stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, “How about this, I will pay a visit to Su Jingqian and ask him to pause sales for a while.”

“Alright, then I’ll go and get busy.”

Yu Qiming got up and left.

Lu Chuan turned to Jyang Ran and Gu Xiaorou.

“The problem now is that there’s something fishy about City Lord Huang Tiankang!”

Jyang Ran sat down, curiously looking at Lu Chuan, “What’s wrong with him?”

“I suspect that he has some connection with Lu Ziyang.”

“A connection?

Could it be that Lu Ziyang is Huang Kai’s real father?”

Jyang Ran seriously guessed.

“Of course not!

I have a strong suspicion that Huang Tiankang has sided with Lu Ziyang!”

“After Huang Tiankang gave me this information, he used a word, ‘they’.”

“That means, he knew the flood dragon wasn’t alone; there was another person!”

“When I arrived at the location, Xielin and Lu Ziyang saw me and weren’t too surprised.

They had even prepared the Formation in advance.”

“You know, setting up a Formation requires preparation; it’s impossible to set up a Formation instantly, so I highly suspect these two are in collusion!”

“Maybe Huang Tiankang is being manipulated by Lu Ziyang, and it could have something to do with Huang Kai…”

“However, considering Lu Ziyang is an alchemist, I guess he might have poisoned Huang Tiankang with a Poison Pill.

That’s why he had no choice but to obey Lu Ziyang’s orders.”

Hearing this, Jyang Ran and Gu Xiaorou looked at each other and nodded slightly.

“So if that’s the case, how should we deal with Huang Tiankang?

He will definitely continue to follow Lu Ziyang’s instructions to go against us!” Jyang Ran looked worried.

“Don’t worry, if that’s the case, we can turn his plan against him.

Next time Huang Tiankang comes to find me, I can turn the tables on him!”

“Good, that’s a great idea.

Let’s wait for Huang Tiankang’s next move then!”

But just then, the caretaker of Yu Residence hurriedly came over to where Lu Chuan was.

“There’s terrible news.

The latest update, City Lord Huang Tiankang has been murdered, his body was found in the front yard, decapitated with a single slash!”

The caretaker looked at Lu Chuan with a panic-stricken face.

Lu Chuan abruptly stood up, “What did you say?

Huang Tiankang is dead?”

“That’s right, he’s dead…”

“Who did it?

Did anyone see?”

“No one saw.

Now there’s mourning at the City Lord’s Mansion; he might be buried tomorrow.”

The caretaker reported earnestly.

Lu Chuan fell deep into thought.

“Lu Ziyang, quick and ruthless in his actions, already making moves, truly leaving no loose ends.

He must have known that Huang Tiankang might expose him, but I didn’t expect him to act so decisively!”

“But why was it a beheading death?

If it was poisoning with a Poison Pill, wouldn’t it have been more fitting for him to explode and die?”

“Let’s all attend the funeral tomorrow, for this time, it’s a real funeral.”

Jyang Ran nodded slightly, “Participating in the funeral of the same person twice in a few days feels strange.

I hope there isn’t a third time.”

“I need to make a trip to the Su Residence; things are really unstable in town.

I hope the situation is better on the Su family side.”

Lu Chuan stood up and walked out of the pavilion, “Stay here quietly, don’t mess around, and be careful not to catch the enemy’s attention.”

“No problem, go ahead, we’ll take good care of ourselves.” Gu Xiaorou smiled and waved goodbye to Lu Chuan.
