Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1233 - 1233 1193 The Army Advances

1233: Chapter 1193: The Army Advances 1233: Chapter 1193: The Army Advances Day after day passed, and Lu Chuan stayed indoors, maintaining a state of cultivation.

His room had turned into a high-temperature steam chamber, and everyone around dared not approach it.

From a distance, Dongfang Cheng and the others watched Lu Chuan’s room with surprise.

Through the windows, they could see reflections of flickering flames.

The light of the fire twinkled and swayed, very bright.

Even from a great distance, they could still feel the baking heat.

“Four days have passed already, I wonder how things are going?” Dongfang Cheng murmured to himself.

“Let’s just keep waiting; he’ll break through sooner or later.

I believe Lu Chuan can do it,” Gu Xiaorou said with firm conviction.

Leaning against a tree with her hands behind her head, Gu Xiaosang spoke nonchalantly, “Once he comes out of seclusion, hopefully he doesn’t end up burning down the whole Lu Manor, right?”

“And there’s no telling what the situation is with the City Lord, whether the enemy has made any new moves or not.”

Jyang Ran said curiously.

Then, Jyang Ran looked towards Dongfang Cheng and said, “Why don’t we go and ask the City Lord to see what the situation is now?”

After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Cheng nodded and replied, “That’s a good idea.”

As the two turned to leave, they saw a figure hurry in.

It was none other than Lord Wu Tongwei, who had brought several armed subordinates to the manor.

“Where is Lu Chuan?

How is he doing now?”

Lord Wu Tongwei asked anxiously.

Dongfang Cheng walked over to stand in front of Wu Tongwei.

“What’s the matter?

Lu Chuan is still in cultivation and can’t come out for the time being.”

“Is there any new movement from the enemy?” Dongfang Cheng continued to inquire.

Lord Wu’s expression darkened as he nodded slightly.

“The enemy has shown new activity, my spies have discovered it, the problem is very serious; I must consult with Lu Chuan.

He has to pause his cultivation; I need to talk to him!”

“Why don’t you discuss it with me instead, and I will relay the message to Lu Chuan later?

He has been in deep seclusion for several days now, just about to break through.

You better not interfere.”

Lord Wu Tongwei sighed helplessly, “No, I need to talk to him personally.

This is a matter of great importance!”

“How big can it be?

Just relax, once Lu Chuan emerges from seclusion, he will handle all the troubles.

Don’t make a fuss over it.”

“Fine, I won’t say more.

Wait until his seclusion is over, then come talk to me,” Lord Wu Tongwei conceded reluctantly.

He sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

At that moment, Jyang Ran came up and asked eagerly, “What exactly has happened?

Tell us about it.

Are the enemies outside preparing to attack?”

Lord Wu Tongwei paused his steps, turned his head to look at the four of them, and said, “Since you want to know, I might as well inform you.”

“However, this matter is of great consequence and could potentially affect the safety of the entire Hei Jin City.”

“That serious?

Let’s hear it.”

Dongfang Cheng asked, intrigued.

“Here’s the situation: my people have been outside the city, keeping an eye on Lu Shenji and his movement.”

“Just this morning, my people sent back word that they saw a gigantic figure amidst the mountains.”

“They sent scouts to get a closer look, and that’s when they saw the specifics.”

“It’s a Behemoth!

A true Demon Beast, its body shrouded in demonic aura!”

“What’s critical is that this creature is massive, about half the height of the city walls.”

“It’s built like a giant elephant, with a sharp, huge horn, and sturdy limbs capable of carrying soldiers on its back.”

“With every step it takes, the ground trembles.”

“If my predictions are correct, that should be the Siege Behemoth prepared by Lu Shenji and his men.”

“In other words, they do have means for a siege, and rather formidable ones at that!”

“Hence, the current situation is extremely dire.

Once they launch an attack, our city walls will most certainly not hold!”

“That Siege Behemoth has earned the Lu family tremendous merit, seizing control of over a dozen cities.”

“Moreover, that is not the only one; the Lu family breeds these Siege Behemoths!”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Cheng and Jyang Ran exchanged anxious glances.

“The Siege Behemoth you’re talking about, is it very ferocious?

How powerful is it, exactly?”

Dongfang Cheng continued to inquire.

“Let me put it this way: Even the walls of Hei Jin City may not withstand a single charge from that creature!”

“Do you understand?

At any moment, our walls could be breached, the formidable enemy flood in, and slaughter will ensue.”

“And that Siege Behemoth has only been slain once in history, by the joint effort of five Martial Saints risking their lives.”

“We ordinary people are absolutely no match for it!”

Dongfang Cheng glanced over at Jyang Ran and Gu Xiaorou.

“There are three of us at the Martial Saint Realm, plus you and Lu Chuan; that makes five of us, right?”

Lord Wu Tongwei let out a sigh of exasperation, “If the five of us join forces against that creature, then who will confront Lu Shenji?”

“They have many more powerful warriors; it’s not just the Siege Behemoth we’re up against!”

Dongfang Cheng scratched his head, troubled, “So you’re saying, we’re bound to lose unless Lu Chuan achieves a breakthrough?”

“Exactly, that’s the situation.

Plus, we don’t even know how strong Lu Chuan will be after his breakthrough!”

“So, I specially came to assess the situation, to have a better grasp of what we’re facing.”

Dongfang Cheng confidently said, “Don’t worry, as long as Lu Chuan completes his breakthrough, and his Divine Fire reaches Stage 2, we will definitely emerge victorious.

We must not underestimate the power of the Divine Fire!”

Lord Wu Tongwei nodded gravely, “We still have time; let’s wait a bit longer.

He should be nearing completion…”

At this moment, everyone else also began to worry, seemingly placing all their hopes on Lu Chuan, for only he could change the current state of affairs.

But just then, someone rushed over, coming beside Lord Wu Tongwei and kneeling.

“Lord Wu, disaster strikes!

News from the frontline!

The enemy has launched an attack; our situation is perilous!”

“Their troops have started moving out, deploying in full force, not a single one held back!”

“We have no choice but to fight!”

At this news, Lord Wu Tongwei’s brow furrowed deeply.

“What did you say?

They’ve attacked!”

“No, this won’t do.

We’re not ready.

If we respond to the battle now, we’ll be defeated!”

He shouted desperately.

In his many years as the City Lord, he had never before felt such urgency.

The enemy was advancing menacingly; any slight misstep could lead to the city’s doom.

Under such circumstances, it was hard for him not to panic.

The expressions of Dongfang Cheng and Jyang Ran had also turned unsightly.

“If the enemy launches an attack now, can we withstand them?” Dongfang Cheng asked, clearly lacking confidence.

“Of course not, what are you thinking?

That’s the Lu family’s army we’re talking about.

We cannot hold them off; we can only wait for Lu Chuan!” Jyang Ran said decisively.

Gu Xiaorou’s gaze turned to Lu Chuan’s room.

“But he won’t be able to come out any time soon.”
