Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1271 - 1271 1231 Infiltrating the City

1271: Chapter 1231: Infiltrating the City 1271: Chapter 1231: Infiltrating the City Arriving below the city walls, Lu Chuan’s feet landed upon the blade, and he began to float upward.

Gradually ascending, Lu Chuan alighted atop the city walls.

Overlooking Tang City from above, he saw everything clearly: everywhere were dilapidated houses in a desolate and dreary environment.

On the damaged streets, a few figures could still be seen bustling about.

Lu Chuan looked closely and recognized that these figures were like walking corpses, swaying their bodies in strange and twisted postures, wandering aimlessly around.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan knew in his heart that these people were all Puppets possessed, acting under Lu You’s command.

Lu Chuan continued his survey, hoping to find Lu You’s temporary residence.

In the distance, a luxurious mansion stood out incongruously.

The place was well-kept, with lotus lamps floating on the pond in the courtyard, and two Guards stood in front of the mansion doors, clearly normal humans.

Inside the residence, one could see a room brightly lit, clearly indicating that was the only place inhabited.

Most likely, Lu You herself resided there.

That had to be one of her temporary lodgings.

And furthermore, the city was filled with Puppets under Lu You’s control.

One could say that this place was her safest stronghold.

Even if a large army tried to break in, it would probably have a tough time overcoming so many Puppets in defense.

These Puppets, just like zombies, were disposable; upon seeing an enemy, they would madly rush forward and attack ferociously.

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment; a direct assault would definitely be troublesome.

First, there were simply too many Puppets; even if he could summon fireballs continuously for bombardment, it would still pose a great hassle.

Moreover, Lu You, who was far away, would notice ahead of time that he had arrived.

Therefore, a direct assault could likely be a wasted effort, allowing that person to escape in advance.

In that case, it would be a tremendous waste of time; he might as well have not come at all.

If he was to strike, it must be done stealthily, ensuring that not a single enemy noticed him.

Otherwise, his plan could be considered a complete failure.

Given the circumstances, he prepared to descend from the wall, then slowly and covertly make his approach.

Lu Chuan’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a figure; he promptly turned his head to look.

To his surprise, he saw a figure standing there on the city wall, slowly walking towards him.

The person standing there caused Lu Chuan’s brows to furrow instantly.

This figure was also a Puppet, moving in an eerie manner, and it seemed to be one of the Lu Family Army.

Unexpectedly, he was still discovered, but only on the city wall; as long as he quickly finished off the creature, there should be no issue.

It definitely wouldn’t alarm Lu You, who had already reached her resting time far away.

Lu Chuan stood up and drew his Soul Terminating Sword.

But at that moment, the Puppet before him kneeled down.

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows knitted tightly.

This creature was kneeling?

Pleading for mercy?

Impossible; having become an unconscious Puppet, how could it plead for anything?

Could it be that his killing intent frightened it?

That was also impossible; it likely couldn’t sense the killing intent, and if it could, it wouldn’t have the capability to differentiate, its brain no longer existing.

After contemplating for a moment, Lu Chuan was still without a clue.

He noticed that the Puppet before him carried a broken flag on its back.

Without much thought, it was clear it was the Lu Family Banner.

Obviously, this individual’s position within the ranks must have been not insignificant.

As Lu Chuan’s curiosity piqued, suddenly, the Soul Terminating Sword in his hand lit up.

Then, an evil spirit burst out of the blade, landing in front of Lu Chuan.

It was the Evil Sword Spirit that Lu Chuan had previously encountered in the cave.

The very same Evil Spirit residing within the sword.

After coming out, he actually walked toward the kneeling Puppet.

Subsequently, the kneeling Puppet pulled out its already decaying Peijian and presented it with both hands.

It seemed that he wanted to hand over his weapon to the Evil Sword Spirit.

Such a sight made Lu Chuan feel somewhat eerie.

Clearly, these two knew each other, and in terms of status, one was above the other.

Could it be that this Evil Sword Spirit was the commander of the Lu Family Army?

Then for some reason, he evaded the assault within the city and fled all the way to Hei Jin City, only to meet a tragic end in the end?

However, this didn’t match what the old man had said.

Could it be that all of that was just a disguise?

The Evil Sword Spirit took the Peijian in hand and directly lifted it up.

He raised the Peijian high in his hand.

Afterward, Lu Chuan looked down into the city.

To his surprise, he discovered that the group of people within the city astonishingly all stood still in their places, no longer wandering!

The Evil Sword Spirit turned his head to look at Lu Chuan, kneeling on one knee.

As if awakening a trace of consciousness, he said respectfully, “Please…

avenge!”

The words that came out of his mouth were mechanical, spoken word by word.

Avenge…

It must be to seek vengeance against Lu You; the only living person here was Lu You.

If that’s the case, then it’s evident that both individuals present were harmed by Lu You.

Lu Chuan immediately asked, “Are you the commander of this rebellious Lu Family Army?”

Immediately, he nodded.

Lu Chuan slightly nodded, as expected, he indeed was the commander of this army.

“It seems like your entire force has been annihilated.

Originally, they must have fought desperately to get you out and save your life, but you still didn’t escape.”

“Fortunately…

it is…

I met you.”

He still spoke with difficulty.

Lu Chuan was somewhat surprised, “Did you know about me long ago?”

“I’ve been paying attention for a long time, that’s why…

I have been waiting.”

“We were preparing…”

Lu Chuan felt very surprised, “What do you mean?

You were all preparing and waiting for me?”

“Of…

course!”

“Under your leadership, we will have the possibility of victory.”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, “I see, so you were waiting for me to come over, specifically hiding in this Tang City to guard.”

“It’s a pity that before I arrived, Lu You had already come.”

“Such a pity, such a pity, before I could arrive, your whole army had been annihilated.”

“But, since it’s come to this, let’s just go with the flow.

Now, I will infiltrate Lu You’s residence.”

“No problem…

I’ll lead the way!”

Evil Sword Spirit said earnestly.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “That’s great, you’re their boss, so, with you leading the way, they definitely won’t alert anyone.”

Lu Chuan levitated the Soul Terminating Sword and then stepped onto it.

Sword Flight, he descended gently, landing on the ground.

Approaching the city wall, several Puppets came swaying towards him.

Then, as the Evil Sword Spirit appeared, they surrendered, not only abandoning the thought of attack but even becoming followers of Lu Chuan.
