Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1137 - 1137 1097 Lies and Traps

1137: Chapter 1097: Lies and Traps 1137: Chapter 1097: Lies and Traps Lu Chuan expelled the Crystal Fragments from within his body one by one, then started to use the Nine Heavens Profound Fire to heal his entire body.

Although injuries covered his whole body, fortunately, he had the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.

As long as he sat in meditation for a while, he could fully recover.

Lu Chuan sat cross-legged, just about to start meditating when a faint sound of footsteps approached.

Just as Lu Chuan thought it was Lu Ziyang coming to sneak attack him and quickly stood up to look back, he realized with shock that it was a Black Panther, creeping close with its body low to the ground, cautiously advancing.

“This is the so-called Demon Beast?”

“No, this is still a trap, Lu Ziyang, you must be behind this!

I will never forgive you!”

Lu Chuan had now realized that at this point in time, it could very likely be an opportunity for Xielin to return to the city!

In the current situation, all Lu Chuan wanted to do was to quickly end everything and then head back to the city to strike at the Liu Family!

Drawing out the Soul Terminating Sword, Lu Chuan enveloped the blade with the Divine Fire of the Sun.

Immediately, with a swoosh, the Black Panther pounced out and lunged at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan did not retreat an inch but charged forward, swinging his Longsword!

Swoosh!!!

A streak of Fiery Sword Qi shot towards the Black Panther.

Boom!!

The sharp Sword Qi instantly split the Black Panther in two.

But what followed was not the sight of the Black Panther’s flesh and blood falling, but rather turning into two puddles of liquid that dropped to the ground.

Plop!

The body of the Black Panther fell, turning into a thick liquid that stuck to the leaves on the ground.

Lu Chuan was bewildered by the odd scene before him.

“What’s happening?

How can this be…”

“Could it possibly be what that guy referred to as the Illusive Sea Spirit Body?”

“Is this a duplicate that emerged after consuming the Sea Spirit Pill?

Otherwise, it can’t possibly be like this!”

Lu Chuan clenched the Soul Terminating Sword and swept his gaze around, spotting no more Demon Beasts ambushing him.

If that was the case, then he needed to hurry down the mountain and go back!

Lu Chuan hurried down the mountain and left the area, mounting his horse and rapidly riding away.

All along the way, Lu Chuan continued to use the Nine Heavens Profound Fire to heal his whole body.

By the time he arrived at the city gate, Lu Chuan had almost fully recovered, although his clothes were torn, making him look a bit disheveled.

Lu Chuan directly passed through the crowd lining up and went through the city gate.

He quickened his pace along the streets towards the Liu Family Quadrangle.

Meanwhile, inside the courtyard of the Liu Family.

Master Liu was sitting in the courtyard sipping tea when a Servant rushed over, arriving in front of him.

“What’s the rush?

This doesn’t fit the style of our Liu Family.”

Master Liu said with considerable displeasure.

“Family Head, sir!

There’s big trouble!

Our people just saw Lu Chuan hurrying into the city, riding his horse all the way in a frenzy, seemingly heading straight for us!”

Master Liu instantly stood up, “He’s not dead?

Impossible?”

“Lu Ziyang had promised me!”

“I don’t know, sir.

It seems like he’s coming to trouble us; what should we do?”

Master Liu became anxious, clutching his hair, and started to nervously contemplate.

“I don’t think he’s too bright; it’s likely he never even considered that possibility.

He probably rushed over just because the crystal exploded and he couldn’t finish the task I assigned him.”

“If that’s the case, I have no reason to flee.

On the contrary, I would forgive his mistake.

It’s his fault that such a precious crystal exploded due to his improper handling.”

Thinking this, Master Liu sat down, poured himself another cup of tea, and slowly savored it.

Bang!!!

Just at that moment, Lu Chuan kicked open the door and strode toward Master Liu.

“Young Master Lu!

You returned so quickly, did you get the crystal?”

“Old Liu, you’d better explain yourself clearly.”

“Lu Chuan, we can talk this out nicely, any trouble you’ve encountered?”

“The crystal exploded, I’m injured all over, and a black panther ambushed me, but I killed it.”

“Really?” said Master Liu, feigning surprise, “I’m truly sorry, I forgot to tell you, that crystal has such characteristics.

It must have been your carelessness in handling that led to the explosion, truly a pity.

Well, nothing can be done now, it’s unfortunate indeed.”

He sighed, then patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder in a comforting manner, “Don’t be sad, I won’t blame you.

It was just a minor mistake, as long as you’re alright.”

Seeing him act so realistically, Lu Chuan almost believed it.

Master Liu, meanwhile, couldn’t help but smile slyly, feeling extremely pleased with himself.

“Old man, do you think I’d believe the nonsense you’re spouting?”

Upon hearing this, Master Liu’s expression instantly turned grim, “Young Master Lu, how can you speak like that?

We’re all gentlemen of repute.

Such talk is beneath us.”

“Old man, still trying to play dumb with me?

Tell me, what kind of crystal naturally contains an elixir pill inside?”

“Crystals are natural, elixir pills are crafted by humans.

How could the two naturally combine?”

“It’s clear that someone did this on purpose.

You think I’m a fool because I don’t know alchemy, don’t you?”

“Besides, in the entire Cloud Sea City, there’s likely only one person who uses elixir pills as weapons, right?”

These words put Master Liu in an immediate predicament.

He looked at Lu Chuan, at a loss for words.

He stammered for a bit, then attempted to defend himself helplessly, “Perhaps…

you saw it wrong, there’s no elixir pill inside, it could be impurities?”

Lu Chuan sneered, “The crystal exploded precisely because the elixir pill released its energy.”

“Old man, save your breath, you’re a dead man today!”

Swoosh!

Lu Chuan drew his Soul Terminating Sword and placed the blade against Master Liu’s neck.

“You’re incredibly dishonest, so I might as well kill you first!”

Upon hearing this, Master Liu’s body trembled, and he went weak in the knees.

“Young Master Lu, please spare me, I didn’t mean for this to happen, I truly knew nothing!”

He trembled as he spoke, begging with a pleading look in his eyes.

Lu Chuan then asked, “When did Lu Ziyang find you?

When did he plan this with you?”

“Lu Ziyang?

I don’t know him at all, how would he come to find me?”

“Bullshit, both of you are alchemists, it’s quite normal for him to come to you.

I should’ve thought of this earlier.”

“If you don’t tell the truth, you die now, and then, I’ll exterminate your entire clan!”

Upon hearing this, Master Liu fell into utter despair and dropped the idea of talking tough.

He helplessly lowered his head and said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll tell you…”

“The first day Lu Ziyang arrived in Cloud Sea City, he stayed at my place.

We’ve collaborated before and built some rapport.”

“A couple of days ago, he entrusted me with a task, and then…

he told me about this plan…”
