Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1457: Clash

Seeing that Old Chen seemed determined to take real action, Mu Changchen hurriedly warned, “Old Chen, you better think this through. Lu Chuan is now the Sect Master’s son-in-law. If you make a move against him, aren’t you afraid of the Sect Master’s wrath?”

“And besides, why is there enmity between the Penglai Immortal Domain and Lu Chuan? Don’t impose your own ideas on everyone else, you hear?”

“Old Mu, you best step aside now! Otherwise, this Three-foot Green Peak in my hand won’t see reason!”

Clearly, compared to the moderate Mu Changchen, Chen Feibai is a typical extremist. His mind was closed to any other voices, only willing to believe what he wished and held it as the ultimate truth. Communicating with such a person was nothing but a waste of breath; the best way was to defeat him with absolute martial prowess!

Thinking this through, Lu Chuan let out a deep breath, patted Mu Changchen’s shoulder, and said in a solemn voice, “Old Mu, leave it to me.”

Lu Chuan came here to persuade the Penglai Immortal Domain and the secular world to unite on a common front, inevitably facing scrutiny and questioning from many. If Lu Chuan simply endured blindly, it would have the opposite effect.

Why not take this opportunity to showcase his strength!

“Lu Chuan? Is it really you, Lu Chuan! You came to find me!”

At that moment, Kong Zhaozhao, who had arrived late, saw the face that haunted her dreams and her eyes turned red.

“Zhaozhao, it’s really good to see you safe and sound.”

Lu Chuan was worried about Kong Zhaozhao’s safety and was unable to find her, leading him to expose his presence reluctantly. Seeing her unharmed now brought him a sense of relief.

“Sect Master? Why have you come as well? Let me take care of these rogues.”

Chen Feibai caught sight of Kong Yuanliang and his daughter, Kong Zhaozhao, and furrowed his brows.

It looks like what Old Mu said wasn’t a lie; Lu Chuan really has a connection with the Sect Master’s daughter!

He could only blame his extended retreat for being utterly ignorant of recent events, but this didn’t mean Chen Feibai would easily change his mindset.

“Father!”

“No rush.”

Kong Yuanliang understood the meaning behind Kong Zhaozhao’s words, but he thought that instead of stopping them now and bottling up anger, it would be better to let them have a straightforward battle and then sit down to talk.

Regarding his daughter’s concerns, it was likely due to Lu Chuan being injured, unable to exert full power, fearing he wasn’t a match for Chen Feibai. However, precisely because of this, Kong Yuanliang believed Lu Chuan could win.

Being able to endure the pain from the Spirit Suppressing Nail, while still chatting away, even without considering Lu Chuan’s Realm, just his physical strength alone far surpassed Chen Feibai. In their battle, the outcome truly was uncertain!

Of course, if Lu Chuan were to lose, Kong Yuanliang definitely wouldn’t allow Chen Feibai to kill Lu Chuan, especially not in front of his precious daughter; he couldn’t be so merciless.

Thinking this through, Kong Yuanliang became even more determined to remain a spectator.

Seeing the Sect Master remain silent, Chen Feibai no longer hesitated. In a low voice, he said, “I don’t care who you are, today I must teach you a lesson!”

“Let’s see then.”

Lu Chuan curled his lips, summoned Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna with one hand, and swung out a blade ray. Chen Feibai raised his sword to block, then kicked into the air, transforming into a blurred shadow that attacked Lu Chuan!

Seeing this scene, Kong Zhaozhao bit her lip tightly, looking very tense.

In contrast, Lu Chuan appeared much more composed. His palm traced the long blade’s edge, flames rose, clinging to the blade, drawing a striking whirling motion in the air, clashing heavily with Chen Feibai!

“Your speed is decent, but your power is too weak.”

“You’re not yet qualified to critique me!”

Chen Feibai raised his sword-like eyebrows, Sword Qi crisscrossed, weaving into an airtight net pressing towards Lu Chuan!

The next moment, two arms grew from behind Lu Chuan!

“Spiritual Power is forbidden in this place!”

As the words fell, the Sword Qi disappeared in the blink of an eye, taking Chen Feibai down from the clouds as well!

Without Spiritual Power, one naturally couldn’t walk on air, but from the start, Lu Chuan hadn’t intended to win using such underhanded tactics.

The Precepts were lifted, Chen Feibai soared anew, but Lu Chuan stole a moment’s consciousness!

Just a moment of inattention, and Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna was already at his neck. Seeing Lu Chuan’s seemingly mocking eyes, Chen Feibai’s face turned crimson.

“Seems the victory is settled.”

“Another round!”

“Who said anything about another round? If you have nothing better to do, I do. Moreover, even if we go another hundred rounds, you wouldn’t win. Your sword isn’t sharp enough, nor decisive enough to hurt me.”

Lu Chuan sheathed his long blade, giving Chen Feibai a pat on the shoulder, sneering, “Wait until you can let go and truly fight me, then come find me. Otherwise, it’s meaningless.”

Saying this, Lu Chuan turned and cast a glance at Kong Yuanliang.

“Sect Master, it’s been a while, how have things been?”

“I’m quite well, but you, you’re about to be driven mad by headaches, aren’t you?”

Kong Yuanliang snorted coldly, holding little regard for Lu Chuan’s attempts to get chummy. But in front of his daughter, he couldn’t utter anything too harsh to upset Kong Zhaozhao.

“Thanks to you, I haven’t had a peaceful sleep in a long time. This time I came to visit to ask you, Sect Master, to remove the nail from my head. Otherwise, it’s not suitable to keep it there indefinitely.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll seize this chance to take your life?”

“If the Sect Master wanted to kill me, now would be a good time, right? Counting everyone here… Nine against one, surely you’re not afraid I’d escape?”

Looking at Lu Chuan’s seemingly amused eyes, Kong Yuanliang grew increasingly displeased.

It was precisely because he couldn’t stand Lu Chuan’s demeanor that he found him despicable.

Even though neither his Realm nor his strength could compare to Kong Yuanliang’s, somehow Lu Chuan always remained so composed at all times.

“Sect Master, this time, I’m visiting as a guest. Aren’t you going to invite me to sit down?”

“Coming without notice is rude. Whose guest are you?”

“Indeed! We’re all family now, so why is there talk of guests or not?”

Before Lu Chuan could speak, Kong Zhaozhao couldn’t hold back her longing any longer, gracefully landing beside Lu Chuan and naturally wrapping her arms around his.

Seeing this scene, Kong Yuanliang’s aging face instantly darkened.

Darn it, his own daughter had stabbed him in the back yet again! Twice, twice now!

If it weren’t for Kong Zhaozhao, he could’ve gotten rid of Lu Chuan early on, yet his daughter had let him escape!

“Zhaozhao… Your father never agreed to anything between you two!”

“Whether you agree now is too late, isn’t it? You can’t disown me, right, father-in-law? Even if you disown me, you still have to acknowledge Zhaozhao, right? Enough, father-in-law, stop talking and just take me in, will you?”
