Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1229 - 1229 1189 Evil Spirit Possession

1229: Chapter 1189: Evil Spirit Possession 1229: Chapter 1189: Evil Spirit Possession The Tan family is a family of scholars and serve as civil officials under Lord Wu Tongwei.

They manage all the major affairs of the city with ease, especially Tan Wentian, who handles them completely effortlessly.

Upon arrival at the Tan family residence, Lu Chuan and Lord Wu Tongwei were led by the caretaker to Tan Canghai’s room.

“Lord Wu, you have arrived.”

A man with gray hair, a worried expression, and a thin stature came out.

He approached Lord Wu Tongwei, cupped his hands together, and spoke respectfully.

“How is your son?”

“He just fell off a horse, nothing serious.”

He added, “With some rest for a couple of days, he should be mostly recovered.”

Lu Chuan looked at the man on the sickbed; he was in his prime but now lay there with a pale, lusterless face and prematurely gray hair.

“Are you sure he just fell off the horse?” Lu Chuan asked Tan Wentian seriously.

“Yes, everyone who accompanied him saw it.

He indeed fell from the horse.”

“However, he fell into a coma after the fall.

We suspect he hit the back of his head on a rock, causing the unconsciousness.”

“I have already summoned a renowned Physician from within the city, who is on his way here.

There shouldn’t be any major issues.”

Tan Wentian spoke calmly.

Although he looked tranquil, the slight trembling of his lips revealed his deep concern.

“This condition is very wrong.

He’s devoid of vital energy, his breathing is weak – he’s at death’s door.”

Lu Chuan analyzed seriously.

Tan Wentian’s eyes brightened as he quickly approached Lu Chuan, “Do you understand medicine?”

“Not at all, just a smattering.”

“In that case, let’s wait for the Physician to arrive.”

Lord Wu Tongwei came over and asked, “When your son fell from the horse, was there anything unusual nearby?”

“That…

No one was paying attention.

They were all focused on my son.

They probably didn’t care much about the surroundings.”

Lu Chuan turned to Lord Wu Tongwei and said, “Why trouble ourselves so much when I can simply draw out the Soul Terminating Sword and all will become clear?”

“Indeed, in that case, no more talk, Lu Chuan, go ahead.”

Seeing the situation was not good, Tan Wentian quickly stepped forward and asked, “What’s going on?

Is something wrong?

It was just an accident, he just fell from the horse.

Shouldn’t be too serious, right?”

He looked at the two men nervously, sensing that the situation was no simple matter.

“Tan Wentian, we are facing a formidable enemy.

They are encamped outside the city and can attack us at any time.

But before they launch an attack, they’ll employ their methods to do certain things.”

“These include schemes to assassinate important people within our city.”

“Therefore, I have reason to suspect that your son has been taken control of by the enemy.

If we don’t let Lu Chuan take action, the consequences could be very severe.

Indeed, we might have to kill your son to solve this trouble.”

Hearing this, Tan Wentian was immediately alarmed.

He inhaled sharply, furrowed his brows, and looked towards Lord Wu Tongwei.

“I somewhat understand their tactics.

There is no doubt that if they want to attack the city, it would be an extremely difficult action.”

“When that happens, they would surely suffer heavy losses.

If they can infiltrate inside the city in advance and weaken our strength, that would be most advantageous for them!”

“Lord, I have always trusted you.

Since you have said as much, I will let you handle this.

But I have one request; you must not harm my son!”

Lord Wu Tongwei looked towards Lu Chuan, saw his confidence, and then said coolly, “Of course, he won’t be hurt.

This will end quickly!”

“In that case, I shall await the result and see what the situation truly is.”

Lu Chuan moved to the bedside and raised his hand to draw out the Soul Terminating Sword.

As the blade was unsheathed, a blue light flickered upon it.

Seeing this, Tan Wentian was astounded, “Such a phenomenon, this precious sword is no ordinary thing!”

With the reaction from the Soul Terminating Sword, Lu Chuan immediately understood.

“It’s clear that an evil spirit has appeared inside him.”

Lu Chuan placed the sword blade on the bed; the glow grew brighter as the reaction intensified.

Tan Wentian, seeing this, quickly asked with curiosity, “An evil spirit?

What is that?”

“It’s a kind of lingering soul that retains its darkness, remaining in this world just to possess others and commit depravities.”

“They refuse to leave, stubbornly lingering, never resting!”

“And the Lu family, has close ties with evil spirits, who knows what secrets they share.”

Lu Chuan explained patiently.

Hearing this, Tan Wentian’s face tensed with anxiety.

“So, you mean to say that my son fell from the horse because an evil spirit invaded his body, leading to this outcome?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Exactly.”

“So, I need to cleanse the evil spirit from his body.”

“Fortunately, I arrived in time.

If he had awakened, he would surely no longer be in control of himself.”

“Then, you still have a son, but in reality, the true him would be dead.”

Tan Wentian gasped, asking urgently, “Then what should we do?

Please, help me out here, save him – he is my most beloved son!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “This isn’t difficult for me.

Let me take care of it.”

“Good, good, I await your handling of it.”

He stepped back two paces, standing behind Lu Chuan, watching him work.

Lord Wu Tongwei patted his shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry too much, Lu Chuan has never missed yet, so rest assured, there won’t be any issues.”

“I know… I trust him; after all, he is one of your men.”

Lu Chuan placed the sword blade on Tan Canghai’s body.

Immediately, the blade began to tremble slightly.

Lu Chuan could see black lines appearing on Tan Canghai’s pale cheeks, looking very sinister.

Puff!

The next moment, a puff of black mist emerged from the mouth and nose of Tan Canghai and sprayed into the air.

Tan Wentian was immediately nervous upon seeing this, “What’s happening?

My son won’t be harmed, right?”

He asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry, everything is going smoothly!”

Swish!

The black mist began to coalesce, forming the silhouette of a person.

It let out a voice, a shrill voice that was an angry roar at Lu Chuan.

“You damn bastard!!”

“Just you wait, the Lu Family Army will annihilate you!”

“Sooner or later you’ll die here; our people will break through your gates and kill you all!”

Its angry threats meant little to Lu Chuan.

“Too bad, you won’t live to see that moment; you’ll die by my hand first!”
