Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1220 - 1220 1180 The Cave Elder

1220: Chapter 1180: The Cave Elder 1220: Chapter 1180: The Cave Elder Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng arrived at the entrance of the mine, confronting a dark and profound cave from which came the occasional eerie sound.

Dongfang Cheng stood at the entrance, a chill breeze made him shudder uncontrollably.

“It feels…

this place seems pretty dangerous.”

Lu Chuan drew his Soul Terminating Sword, and before even entering the cave, his sword blade was already emitting a faint glow.

Clearly, there must be an evil spirit in this cave!

And undoubtedly, a powerful one at that.

“Let’s go in.

We’ve already promised the City Lord, no backing out now.

My Soul Terminating Sword will easily take down that bastard, you just relax.”

“No problem, I trust you, I’ll go in with you!”

He took a deep breath, walked alongside Lu Chuan, and the two approached the cave.

But just then.

A figure emerged from within the cave.

A hunched shadow with a cane walked out slowly.

An elderly old man appeared, taking very labored steps, possibly in his eighties, looking extremely frail.

Lu Chuan paused, looking at the old man in front of him and asked puzzledly: “Old man, this cave is very dangerous, how come you’re walking out of it?”

It felt odd to him.

Wu Tongwei had told Lu Chuan before he arrived that this place was very dangerous, and indeed, upon arriving, he found it to be true.

The entire mine was sealed off, forsaking such great profit from mining, which proved the great danger here.

Lu Chuan looked at the old man, and the old man looked up at Lu Chuan.

He lifted a hand, pointing towards the Soul Terminating Sword in Lu Chuan’s hand.

“Where did you get that sword in your hand?”

Lu Chuan looked at his Soul Terminating Sword somewhat astonished, “What does it have to do with you?”

“What are you doing here?

This place is sealed, ordinary people can’t enter, so what exactly are you here for?”

His eyes fixated unwaveringly on Lu Chuan.

“I think you already have your answer, don’t you?

There are rumors that this place is haunted, and I’m here to solve that issue.”

“Better you turn back, this matter doesn’t concern you, nor is there a need for you to interfere.

If you have the energy, better spend it elsewhere.”

Lu Chuan shook his head firmly, “Old man, I won’t go back.

I’m here to slay the so-called ghosts.

Also, what are you doing?

Why are you staying here?”

The old man sighed with resignation, “To tell you the truth, the supposed ghost here does exist.”

“I’ve spent some time here and I deeply understand what exactly happened.”

Lu Chuan immediately asked: “Is that so?

Then tell me, what exactly happened here.”

“If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine.

I will continue to delve into the mine until I find that ghost!”

Lu Chuan spoke with firm resolve, betraying not the slightest wavering.

“Alright, alright, I can tell you.

You know that ghosts are born from the death of humans.”

“And that’s not a ghost.”

Lu Chuan added: “Of course not, it’s an evil spirit.

I specialize in slaying evil spirits.”

“He has heavy grievances, unable to dissipate, that’s why he stayed here, continuously killing people.”

“He killed again and again, absorbing Divine Souls, continuously growing stronger, now his power is very formidable; ordinary people are definitely no match!”

The old man spoke with grave sincerity.

“You seem to know quite a bit, does this evil spirit have any relation to you in his life?”

“Heh, you’re right, he does have a relation; he’s my son.”

“After dying, he completely lost his consciousness, becoming a lonely wandering ghost, driven only by the instinct to hunt and kill humans, not even recognizing me anymore!”

Lu Chuan raised his brows, “Really?

Turns out he’s your son.

Since he doesn’t recognize you now, isn’t it very dangerous for you to stay here?”

“Not at all, I have an Amulet which prevents the evil spirit from sensing me.”

The old man heaved a sigh filled with loss, “This tragedy happened not so long ago, just six months.”

“Let’s hear it, how exactly did this evil spirit come to be?”

“It all started when he offended the Lu Family.”

“My daughter-in-law was beautiful with a good figure, quite renowned in the city.

But the Lu Family was domineering and overbearing, with several young masters who did whatever they pleased, arrogant and unruly.”

“You can probably guess what happened next, in a place like Hei Jin City, having a beautiful wife naturally invites trouble.”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, “But, wasn’t your son an employee of the City Lord’s family?”

“That relation is too tenuous, besides, the City Lord is no match for Lu Manor, naturally, they wouldn’t offend the entire Lu family just for the sake of a mere worker.”

He looked up at Lu Chuan, letting go of his cane, and clasped his hands together, “I can feel that the precious sword in your hand has the power to vanquish the evil spirit.”

“But please, give him a chance.

He will dissipate on his own, just need to wait a little longer!”

Lu Chuan slightly shook his head, “No, I am here on orders from the City Lord, I don’t have time to delay here.”

“Since he refuses to dissipate, then let me send him on his way.”

“Don’t!”

He hurriedly shouted: “If you shatter his soul, he’ll never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation and will completely vanish from this world!”

Lu Chuan shrugged indifferently, “What does that have to do with me?”

“However, he is indeed a pitiful soul, tortured by the Lu Family and now a lonely wandering ghost atop this mine, truly a sorrowful being.”

“But precisely because of this, isn’t it better for me to send him off this morning?

What good is lingering in this world?

Does he still want revenge?”

The old man nodded repeatedly, “Exactly, he wants revenge.

As long as he can kill that Lu Qianyu from the Lu family, his wish will be fulfilled.”

“Of course, I know that’s impossible, but he will realize this eventually, and then he will leave this world on his own.”

Lu Chuan sighed and shook his head, “Lu Qianyu is already dead, he’ll never achieve that in his lifetime.”

“What?

Lu Qianyu is dead?

Impossible, she’s the most powerful figure in Hei Jin City!”

Lu Chuan continued, “She is dead, and moreover, by my hand.”

Dongfang Cheng promptly nodded, “That’s right, we already killed Lu Qianyu, though it was mostly his doing.”

The old man looked at Lu Chuan, furrowing his eyebrows, “Speaking of which, it’s not entirely impossible, after all, the sword you’re holding is of the immortal-grade!”

“If that’s the case, then it’s wonderful.

If my son knows about this, his earthly obsessions should disappear!”

“Here’s what you do: you tell him in person.

If he can understand your words, then he will leave, and the mine will return to normal.”
