1222: Chapter 1182: The Army Approaches 1222: Chapter 1182: The Army Approaches Lu Chuan passed through the City Lord’s Mansion and walked towards the study.

Opening the door, he saw Wu Tongwei practicing calligraphy inside.

“Lord Wu, I need to speak with you!”

“Young Master Lu, you’ve returned.

How are things, did it go smoothly?”

“Of course, it went smoothly.

I found the evil spirit, but I didn’t vanquish it.

Instead, I sealed it.”

“Just a seal?

Well, that should be fine, as long as the mine can operate normally.”

Lu Chuan continued to press: “The man the evil spirit was in life belonged to you, yet you simply watched as the Lu family took his life so brutally.”

Wu Tongwei helplessly shrugged his shoulders, “Before you came, I absolutely couldn’t defeat Lu Qianyu.

I might have had a chance in a one-on-one duel, but leading two families into battle against them would have been virtually impossible.”

“So, there are many things that I can’t do.

I truly have no choice.

If I were to take action, who would bear the losses?”

He spoke with a sense of helplessness.

“Alright, I’ve no time for your excuses.

I’ve already handled the task you entrusted to me, now hand over the Fire Elemental Crystal Stones.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Tongwei let out a helpless sigh, “Lu Chuan, don’t be mad, but there was nothing I could do about the previous situation.”

“Here are the Fire Elemental Crystal Stones, take them and use them.

I won’t pursue this matter further.”

“After all, you did save an entire mine for me, a great feat indeed!”

He exclaimed emotionally.

Lu Chuan shrugged indifferently and looked down at the crystals in the box.

“The quality is good, full of Spiritual Energy, if successfully refined, the improvements will be astonishing!”

“Thank you, you’ve been a huge help.”

Wu Tongwei nodded repeatedly, “It’s my duty, I’m obliged to do this.”

“By the way, how is the assembly of the Lu Family Army outside the city going?

I plan to deal them a little setback, to show them they’ve chosen the wrong target.”

Wu Tongwei responded immediately, “They’re still about a thousand kilometers away from us.

Right now, they certainly wouldn’t dare to come over.”

“Alright then, they might be setting up camp soon, as it gets dark.

It’s very unsafe for them to stay out in the open, so they will need to establish a camp.”

“In consequence, they surely won’t come attacking with their guard up.

Have your soldiers completed their training?” Lu Chuan looked at Wu Tongwei and said.

“No problem at all, we’re ready to fight at any time!”

He declared with utter gravity.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Good, I trust you.

If battle is upon us, then I’m all in.”

“Report!

Report!”

Suddenly, a Servant burst in.

“What’s with all the panic?

You’re embarrassing me!”

“Boss, here’s the situation—we spotted the enemy troops moving a few kilometers outside the city.

They’re advancing rapidly, heading right for us!”

Hearing this, Wu Tongwei stood up immediately, asking incredulously, “What did you say?

They’ve started to move?

How?”

“They’ve surrounded us, and moreover, they’re boasting that they’ll eradicate us!”

“The most crucial point, do you know?

They have already arranged their Formation.

If we’re going to face them now, it’ll be very dangerous!”

“Honorable City Lord, what should we do next?

The enemy is imminent.

Clearly, it’s because of Lu Qianyu’s death they came.

The Lu Manor here has lost their control, they are feeling anxious, so they’ve immediately come over to handle this!”

His analysis was spot on.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tongwei’s brows furrowed deeply.

“What you say does make sense.”

“If they are preparing already, then indeed we are somewhat unprepared, but we must stand our ground.”

“If we surrender now, it’ll be like a pig offering itself up to the butcher’s block.

We can only fight them to the end!”

The Servant quickly added, “Honorable City Lord, the enemy has also sent an envoy, just arrived at the city gates, preparing to enter.”

“How dare they approach me, what do they want to discuss?”

“It’s meaningless, there’s nothing to discuss.

We’ve killed Lu Qianyu, there’s no turning back!”

Wu Tongwei turned to look at Lu Chuan, seriously saying, “What comes next is a test for both of us, we must prepare thoroughly!”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Of course, I’ll be in seclusion for some time.

I need to absorb both Crystal Stones completely first.”

“If I can achieve a breakthrough, that would be ideal.

If I can’t, then I’ll have to tough it out.”

For Lu Chuan right now, if he could really help them overcome this period, it would be fantastic!

Lu Chuan was still placing his hopes on the power of his inner dragon.

With this energy and motivation, he feared nothing!

Even if the top fighters from the Lu family came, Lu Chuan still wouldn’t care, unapologetically.

“If they come, then explode them!”

“You lead the soldiers and hold this place.

If you can’t hold it, then come find me, I’ll handle the aftermath.”

“No problem, I’ll do as you said.

Go focus on your cultivation.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Then I’ll wait for your news.

I’m going to seclude myself for a few days.

You’d better hold on.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll hold the line.

I may not be a match for them but I will certainly not collapse.”

Lu Chuan patted Wu Tongwei on the shoulder and smiled, “Then I’m going back now!”

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng left and returned to Lu Manor.

For the following period, Lu Chuan’s main task was to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Crystal Stones to cultivate the Divine Fire and make a breakthrough to Divine Fire Second Stage.

This was currently Lu Chuan’s top priority.

Once back, Lu Chuan immediately began his seclusion.

Every minute and every second of the following time would be crucial.

With a looming threat just outside the city, he must seize every opportunity and afford no delay!

He returned to his room and specifically instructed others not to disturb him.

Then, he took out his two rare Crystal Stones and began refining them.

The Divine Fire of the Sun enveloped the entire Crystal Stone, starting to absorb the Spiritual Energy within.

With each absorption, Lu Chuan could feel the Divine Fire of the Sun within him growing stronger!

This was a positive sign, but there was still a long time before reaching the bottleneck.

Lu Chuan only hoped he could achieve a complete breakthrough before the enemy’s army attacked, which would greatly increase his chances of victory!

The next day, Lu Chuan continued his secluded cultivation.

But during the meal breaks, he also heard about the situation outside the city.

The first thing the Lu Family Army did upon arrival was to take down the surrounding strongholds of the city lords.

They were busy upon arrival, taking measured and firm steps forward in their approach.
