Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1280 - 1280 1240 Current State of the Family

1280: Chapter 1240: Current State of the Family 1280: Chapter 1240: Current State of the Family After Jyang Ran left, everyone began discussing how to deal with the large army outside the city.

Inside the Council Hall, Lu Chuan sat in the head seat, facing everyone.

“Let’s simply talk about how to deal with the enemy outside the city.

In fact, it’s not so complicated; when soldiers come, block them with generals; when water comes, counter with earth.”

“After Jyang Ran finishes gathering information about them, we can get ready to move.

It’s best to take the initiative and launch a surprise attack.

My current strength is more than enough to kill Lu Shenji, so we have nothing to worry about.”

Lu Chuan said calmly and indifferently.

Immediately, Dongfang Yong, sitting in his own chair, questioned in response: “Lu Shenji!

Do you know the strength of Lu Shenji?”

“If it’s a one-on-one duel, of course you can defeat him, but if it comes to war, we are definitely no match for him, his strength can only be shown in the midst of war!”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan asked with irritation, “Do you still have objections?

Isn’t this over yet?”

Dongfang Yong sighed helplessly and bowed his head, saying no more.

“The things Lu Shenji has created, I’ve seen them all, and they’re not entirely insurmountable.”

“In large-scale war, they’re definitely very powerful, but they’re not to the extent to destroy everything effortlessly.”

Lu Chuan continued, “This Lu Family Army is still an elite force, highly capable and not to be underestimated.”

Dongfang Cheng then added, “If we can crush this force, it will indeed significantly weaken the Lu family as a whole!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Yes, it will definitely weaken the Lu family’s combat strength on the frontal battlefield, now we have reached the core area of the war, where our actions influence this huge battle situation!”

Lu Chuan stood up, ready to leave the Council Hall.

“Now, go and get ready; the war is about to begin.

Gather everyone and be ready to move out at any time.”

Lu Chuan spoke earnestly.

Dongfang Cheng immediately stood up, “No problem, I’ll go do that right now!”

Then, Lu Chuan walked out, with Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang closely following behind him as they left the place.

Dongfang Yong, sitting in the chair, looked towards Dongfang Cheng.

“Dongfang Cheng, you should go back earlier; your father is waiting for you.”

“I’ve been out for so long, what difference does a little more time make?”

“You know, the grudges between our Dongfang family and the Lu family have existed for a long time.”

“Since we started fighting with the Lu family, it’s always been a stalemate, neither side has had any effective breakthrough.”

“However, the Lu family has begun trying other methods to deal with us.”

“And then, as you know, there have always been two factions within our family; one insists that we should fight the Lu family to the end, and another advocates for a peaceful coexistence.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “I know, there are two factions; a group of people too cowardly, afraid to fight, fearing that the fight will lead to the ruin of the family, always wanting to make peace.”

“Then, it’s possible that these people have been in contact with the Lu family.”

At this point, Dongfang Yong’s expression became more serious.

“I’m less involved in family affairs, but I’ve also noticed some anomalies; there’s a very clear divide and a lot of tension within the family now.”

“I feel that something is quite wrong, but I can’t pinpoint what exactly, coming out was also to clear my mind.”

“Seeing you here, if you go back now, maybe you could lend a hand to your father, and it would boost his confidence.”

Dongfang Cheng took a deep breath, “Is it that serious?”

“Pretty much, those people have indeed been in contact with the Lu family quite a bit, that’s for certain, it’s common knowledge.”

Dongfang Yong continued, “That’s why the situation within our family is likewise grim.”

“These people haven’t fully revealed themselves yet, probably because they don’t entirely trust the Lu family, but this can’t go on forever.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Cheng nodded gravely, stroking his chin, “Such a scenario is to be expected, I can understand that.”

“The solution under these circumstances is rather straightforward.

They haven’t completely turned against us and still distrust the Lu family; they’ve merely made contact and interacted.”

“Therefore, if we can considerably weaken the Lu family’s strength and give them a glimmer of hope, they will naturally change their minds.”

Dongfang Cheng said earnestly, “So, as long as we keep working hard, the situation will surely become clearer.”

Hearing this, Dongfang Yong sighed helplessly, “That…

could indeed be a solution.”

“Rest assured, Lu Chuan definitely has the strength.

By now, the Lu family doesn’t have many moves left, and we will gradually gain the upper hand!”

Dongfang Yong leaned back in his chair and sighed, “Is this Lu Chuan truly the key to turning the tide?”

Dongfang Cheng patted his shoulder, “Think it over slowly.

I need to go take care of something, let’s deal with the current enemies first before discussing anything else.”

“You’d better prepare properly.

Lu Shenji is no ordinary man, and even though his own strength is mediocre, he’s not easy to deal with.”

With a nod to Dongfang Yong’s reminder, Dongfang Cheng then left.

…

Lu Chuan walked down the corridor towards his room.

Midway, he saw Jyang Ran coming back.

She hurried towards Lu Chuan, her face tense and her brows deeply furrowed.

She quickly approached Lu Chuan.

“Lu Chuan!

I have something I need to tell you!”

Lu Chuan looked at her, seeing her urgency and knew the situation must not be good; something must have happened.

“What’s the big rush?”

“It’s like this!”

She came quickly, “I was just leaving the city, intending to approach Lu Shenji’s army.”

“But along the way, I saw a strange carriage.”

“Then, I followed the carriage.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Something wrong with that carriage?”

“Of course, I followed it to a location, and after the carriage stopped, out came a white-haired woman who had been reporting to us.”

“And she is none other than Lu You!”

Lu Chuan’s expression became stringent, his eyebrows furrowed, blinking puzzledly.

“Lu You?

Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“No mistake, I haven’t seen her much, but I’m absolutely certain, it’s Lu You!”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “Impossible, Lu You is dead.

By the time I had divided her body in two, she was already deceased!”

“A flickering light before extinguishing?

That can’t be…

but, what I saw, she really seemed normal and able to move, albeit, she was sitting in a chair.”

“Sitting in a chair?

A wheelchair?”

“Yes, a chair with wheels, able to move around simply, her lower half was nonexistent.”

Lu Chuan nodded solemnly, “I really didn’t expect her to still be alive, how bizarre.

Is this the power of a Demonic Cultivator?

It seems she truly has considerable strength, no ordinary person, indeed.”
