Chapter 1493: Chapter 1452: People of the Small World

“Senior, I want to talk to Lu Chuan a bit more, just a few words, is that okay?”

“Sigh… go ahead.”

Having lived in Cloud City for so long, Li Yingnu knew very well the bond between them had passed countless tests. Saying this, she already felt a bit regretful and could hardly ask Mu Nanqing for more.

“Daughter, how are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

“I’m fine, Mom.”

“What about Suzumiya Setsuna and Ichikazu? The journey to the Profound Sect is long; if you need to prepare anything, do it now.”

“Aunty… do you think my country will be affected? Will these people go on a killing spree in my family too?”

Suzumiya Setsuna lightly bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears.

Actually, she knew the answer to this question from the start.

The influence has spread throughout Cathay, so the Island Country couldn’t possibly remain unaffected. Unfortunately, with her own strength, she couldn’t return to the Island Country, nor could she help much, only worry.

“Setsuna, I believe Lu Chuan can handle all of this. You’re his wife, shouldn’t you believe in him too?”

“Mm… I understand, Aunty.”

…

Returning to the courtyard, Mu Nanqing immediately saw Lu Chuan in a corner, taking two elixir pills, barely stopping the bleeding from his head.

Seeing this scene, Mu Nanqing could hardly hold back her tears, which immediately burst forth.

“Lu Chuan…”

Lu Chuan turned his head towards the voice, quickly tossing aside the towel he was using to wipe the blood, his eyes flickering with panic, and laughed, “Nanqing, why, why are you back?”

“I’m sorry… I really didn’t know you were hurt, Lu Chuan. Can we leave together? Go to the Profound Sect together! I… I can’t lose you.”

“What are you talking about, Nanqing? I’m fine.”

“Aunt Yingnu told me everything. Your breath is extremely unstable; it must be an unhealed injury. I… shouldn’t have been so willful.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan sighed gently and smiled wryly, “It’s okay, besides, my decision to stay isn’t entirely because of you. I also don’t want to see slaughter resume in Cloud City, so don’t feel pressured. Set off quickly; we’ll meet at the Profound Sect in a few days.”

“Lu Chuan, please don’t hate me, will you? I… I won’t be like this again!”

“Of course not, my dear wife, I care for you too much. If I had the ability to protect every one of you, I wouldn’t have to leave Cloud City for the Profound Sect… Alright, don’t cry, get going. Please take good care of Jiaxin; she’s pregnant and might find moving around inconvenient. I’ll leave her to you, Nanqing.”

Despite the reluctance, they had to leave.

After bidding farewell to the four women, Lu Chuan exhaled a long breath.

At present, all his weaknesses went to the Profound Sect, leaving only Yun Ji with the Demon Tribe. Although Lu Chuan was still a bit worried about Yun Ji’s safety, the Demon Tribe should be fine for now, as Yun Ji held absolute control over them.

As for the Profound Sect, with Old Master Situ overseeing it, Lu Chuan wasn’t worried that any incidents would happen there. The only trouble was, until now, Lu Chuan still hadn’t figured out who the intruders were.

Lu Chuan only knew they were intruders from the Small World, but regarding their identity, their hideouts, and what methods they used to persuade so many people to willingly serve them, Lu Chuan was clueless.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan had prepared in advance.

After settling everyone in the courtyard, Lu Chuan returned to the clinic and took out the monk’s corpse.

The fatal wound was a clear hole through the chest, pulverizing the heart, killing instantly.

However, although the monk was dead, Lu Chuan still had a way to make the corpse talk. Though this method was frowned upon, at this point, only the monk could provide Lu Chuan with precious information.

Thinking about this, Lu Chuan didn’t hesitate any longer. He pinched a spell and directly tore the monk’s soul from the body!

“I ask, you answer.”

“Yes…”

Looking at those empty, emotionless eyes, Lu Chuan calmly said, “Are you from the Small World?”

“That’s right, I am a monk from the Buddhist sect of the Small World, ordered to come to Earth to stop you.”

“Ordered? Whose orders did you follow? What kind of force is the Buddhist sect, and what is its internal strength?”

“…”

Seeing the soul remain silent, Lu Chuan persistently questioned once more, but the result was no different; the soul still said nothing.

Clearly, there was a restriction placed on the monk’s soul, preventing him from revealing some critical clues. If Lu Chuan forced it, it might lead to the soul’s complete disintegration. So, Lu Chuan had no choice but to avoid these questions for now.

“Tell me, what is the Small World’s aim, and how many of you were sent!”

“To reclaim… Earth, kill all the Lu family members, destroy… that gate.”

“Hurry up! How many of you are there!”

“To reclaim Earth, kill everyone… the Lu family members!”

The soul’s voice suddenly became sharp, madly lunging at Lu Chuan, who casually shattered it with a slap, obliterating the soul entirely.

Indeed, it triggered a restriction. Also, from the monk’s words, Lu Chuan didn’t obtain any useful clues. The Small World’s intentions were already predicted by Lu Chuan: to re-occupy the Earth turning spiritual power, and to eradicate the Lu family, the greatest resistance, completely. These matched Lu Chuan’s speculations perfectly.

“To have set such restrictions on even these questions… how terrifying must the force behind be, to make a Spirit Splitting Realm expert obey willingly and accept a seal on their soul?”

Lu Chuan pinched his brow, feeling somewhat irritated.

The information obtained from his grandfather not only didn’t slow Lu Chuan’s pace but actually pushed him to keep moving forward.

He once thought collecting the three Jade Pendants of heaven, earth, and man would allow him a break, but now it seems the hope of a cozy life with wife and kids is still far away.

While thoughts swirled, Lu Chuan suddenly heard a shout from the backyard. He quickly stood up to check, only to find two people inexplicably in conflict, fiercely fighting each other, despite being ordinary people, showing no signs of holding back, beating each other bloodily.

“What’s happened? Why are you suddenly fighting! Stop it, during times like these, internal struggles only mean self-destruction!”

Lu Chuan casually wielded two threads of spiritual power, instantly separating them. He squeezed into the crowd and asked dubiously, “This is when we need to unite the most. What are you doing?”

“Ask him! Damn it, I just said two words and he picked up a chair, smashing it on my head, crazy dog!”
