375: Chapter 359: Lu Chuan Appears_1 375: Chapter 359: Lu Chuan Appears_1 Shen family.

In the council hall.

Lu Chuan and Shen Ruhai had already discussed the strategy to cope with the Great Elder.

This time, in the plan to rescue Mu Nanqing, the Shen family would participate throughout, helping Lu Chuan completely tie down the people of the Profound Sect.

At first, Shen Ruhai thought this was a trap designed by the Great Elder for Lu Chuan, and that the opponent must be well-prepared, and even with the involvement of the Shen family, there would undoubtedly be dangers.

Hence, he advised Lu Chuan to think thrice.

However, upon learning that Lu Chuan’s strength had reached a level sufficient to compete with someone who had just entered the Saint Realm, Shen Ruhai was immediately stunned.

He knew that Lu Chuan had significantly enhanced his strength during his recent seclusion, but he hadn’t expected this young man to have improved to such an extent.

Looking at the young man who once needed his protection to survive, now growing to be even more powerful than himself, Shen Ruhai felt both impressed and envious.

Years ago, he was hailed as a once-in-a-century talent in the martial arts world, yet it took him several decades to reach Level 9 of the Profound Realm.

After that, he had always been stuck at this level, unable to break through to the legendary Saint Realm.

Whereas Lu Chuan, in just over a year, had already completely surpassed him.

Anyone in his place would certainly be extremely envious.

But his envy was also one of joy, after all, Lu Chuan was his future son-in-law.

The stronger Lu Chuan was, the happier he naturally felt.

“Our people have found out that there’s been some turmoil within the Profound Sect.

Their Sect Leader claims to be in long-term seclusion, but our spies have deduced from various clues that the Sect Leader of the Profound Sect is very likely missing.”

“In this case, our opponents will be only the Great Elder and a bunch of Profound Sect disciples.

The power of my Shen family, combined with your current strength, gives us a very good chance of winning,” said Shen Ruhai with a smile.

Lu Chuan nodded and asked with curiosity, “The Sect Leader of the Profound Sect is missing?

What’s that all about?”

Shen Ruhai said, “The Profound Sect is very secretive about this matter, and my people couldn’t find out the exact reason, but as far as I know, the Sect Leader of the Profound Sect and the Great Elder have never been on good terms.

I suspect the disappearance of the Sect Leader is definitely related to the Great Elder.”

Lu Chuan thoughtfully remembered that Su Ming had informed him that the Sect Leader of the Profound Sect was actually a woman, and the Great Elder was a lascivious person.

Could it be that the Great Elder had designs on the Sect Leader, leading to this turmoil?

Suppressing his gossiping heart, Lu Chuan said with a smile, “This is good news for us.”

Shen Ruhai cursed, “Indeed, it’s good news.

The Sect Leader of the Profound Sect, a beast no better than pigs or dogs, it’s a true blessing for the world if she’s dead!”

Seeing Shen Ruhai’s enmity towards the Sect Leader of the Profound Sect, Lu Chuan became curious about how the feud between the Shen family and the Profound Sect started and intended to ask.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a surge of power from Mu Nanqing’s amethyst pendant.

He quickly checked it and instantly received the message Mu Nanqing had sent him.

“Xiaochuan, the Great Elder and a person named Tu Youming are planning a joint move against you.

Tu Youming is extremely powerful, even Xiu Niang is no match for him, which is why she was captured.

Their plan is for the Great Elder to confront you publicly, while Tu Youming will suddenly attack from the shadows and subdue you.

You must be very careful!”

Upon reading this message, Lu Chuan’s face changed, and he exclaimed, “Oh no!”

Shen Ruhai, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Chuan said, “The Great Elder really came prepared this time, he’s actually teamed up with Tu Youming!”

“Who is Tu Youming?” Shen Ruhai had never heard this name before.

Lu Chuan said, “He’s one of my enemies too.

I snatched something he wanted, and I knew he wouldn’t let me off, but I didn’t expect him to join forces with the Great Elder.

Now we’re in trouble.”

If Gu Xiaosang were here, the situation might not be so dire, but Gu Xiaosang had fled, without even leaving a way to contact her.

He didn’t know where to find her and her sister to ask for their help.

Shen Ruhai said, “Is this Tu Youming very powerful?

With your current strength, plus mine and the power of the Shen family, even if the Great Elder found a helper, we should not be afraid, right?”

Lu Chuan said gravely, “Tu Youming’s strength far surpasses both of us; previously it took two genuine Saint Realm warriors to hold him off.

With him joining, we will be at an absolute disadvantage.”

Shen Ruhai’s face changed, as he didn’t expect Tu Youming to be so powerful.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but glance at Lu Chuan with resignation, thinking to himself that not only did this young man possess exceptional talent, but also an unrivaled ability to attract trouble.

To provoke such high-level masters, he wondered whether to call him brave or reckless.

“So what do we do now?”

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and said, “No need to rush, we have three days to come up with a countermeasure.

I will definitely think of a way to handle it!”

…

Two days later.

In the suburbs of Jiangbei Province.

Tu Youming looked at Mu Nanqing still hanging from the tree, his brow furrowed, and said, “Two days have passed, and there’s been no sign of Lu Chuan coming to save her.

Did you get the wrong information?

Perhaps this woman isn’t enough to make Lu Chuan risk his life to rescue her?”

The Great Elder said, “It’s impossible.

This person is the closest to Lu Chuan.

If even she can’t make Lu Chuan take the risk, it would only mean Lu Chuan is a heartless person.

In that case, whoever we capture would be useless.”

Although Tu Youming was anxious, he had no choice but to keep waiting.

At this moment, a Profound Sect disciple ran over, shouting, “Great Elder, Lu Chuan has appeared!”

The Great Elder and Tu Youming both lit up with anticipation, exchanging a look that revealed a mocking smile on their faces.

“It seems your judgment was correct.

In that case, let’s stick to the plan,” said Tu Youming,

After uttering these words, his figure vanished instantly.

The Great Elder did not hesitate either and hastened towards the direction where Lu Chuan was spotted.

In the thick forest, all the disciples of the Profound Sect grasped their weapons, focused their minds, and stared intently ahead.

Not far away, a figure slowly walked towards them.

It was Lu Chuan!

The Great Elder, robed in black and donning a hood with his face concealed behind a mask, arrived before the crowd of the Profound Sect.

When he saw that Lu Chuan had come alone, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted, “Lu Chuan, you certainly have some nerve, daring to come and see me by yourself.

Do you really think that just because you killed a few of my disciples, you can disregard me completely?”

Lu Chuan replied coldly, “Where is my sister-in-law?”

The Great Elder laughed and pointed to Mu Nanqing, who was hung up in a tree in the distance, saying, “She’s right there, but today you won’t be able to take her with you!”

“Lu Chuan, ever since Long Hao died by your hand, I have regretted not killing you directly at the Long family’s wedding.

After that, two of my disciples died at your hand, and another went missing.

The Divine Weapon Azure Flood Dragon Sword, which belonged to me, also fell into your hands, and even the Yin Ghost Sect, which had always done my bidding, was annihilated by you.”

“Your growth rate has indeed amazed everyone.

If given more time, I fear I won’t be able to contend with you anymore!”

“Therefore, I can’t afford to let you continue growing.

Now that you’ve come here today, I will not give you a chance to leave alive.

Today I must slay you here to eliminate future troubles!”

From a distance, Mu Nanqing saw Lu Chuan coming alone and showed a look of anxiety on her face.

Xiu Niang’s mocking voice rang out, “Didn’t you say that after you sent him the message, he would surely think of a way to deal with it?

Yet he still came here alone like a fool, not even bothering to find someone to assist him.

Is this the Lu Chuan who has always been able to create miracles in your eyes?”

“Tu Youming is already hiding in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.

This kid definitely won’t be able to withstand it; he won’t just fail to save you today, he’ll also have to sacrifice his own life.”

“The only hope for you now is to let me take control of your body.

They’re all focused on Lu Chuan at the moment.

If I overdraw some of the potential in your body, there’s still a chance we can break the seal.

Then we could take advantage of the chaos to escape, find a safe place to recuperate in hiding.

At the worst, when my strength recovers to its peak, we can come back and kill these people to avenge Lu Chuan, how about that?”

Mu Nanqing snorted coldly, with no intention to be beguiled by Xiu Niang’s words, “Shut up!”

She then yelled towards Lu Chuan, “Xiaochuan, that Tu Youming is ambushing you.

Run!”

The Great Elder frowned at the shout, then bellowed, “Take action now!”

The figure of Tu Youming instantly appeared behind Lu Chuan, landing a palm towards his back.

Under such circumstances, Lu Chuan just couldn’t react fast enough.

He didn’t even have time to turn around and could only let Tu Youming’s palm strike him.

A cold smirk appeared on the Great Elder’s face, thinking that once this palm landed, Lu Chuan would be severely wounded and unable to escape.

Mu Nanqing’s face showed a trace of despair, unable to understand why the always cautious and thorough Lu Chuan was so rash this time.

Could it really be because he was too anxious to save her?

Xiu Niang simply cursed, “Useless!”

Yet when Tu Youming’s palm forcibly struck Lu Chuan’s back, Lu Chuan’s body instantly fell to the ground, bereft of all ability to move.

Tu Youming said coldly, “Kid, hurry up and hand over the Divine Fire’s seed to me, otherwise I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

However, Lu Chuan didn’t respond at all, lying on the ground, motionless.

A hint of confusion appeared on Tu Youming’s face, wondering if he had actually killed the man with one palm.

This shouldn’t have been possible, because although his palm was terrifying, he had controlled the force; he couldn’t have killed Lu Chuan.

After all, if Lu Chuan died, he would be unable to find out the whereabouts of the fire seed.

Approaching Lu Chuan to confirm his condition, he was ready to counterattack at any moment, as it was not beyond the realm of possibility that Lu Chuan was feigning death to create an opportunity for a sneak attack.

He walked over to Lu Chuan and kicked his body.

The next second, Lu Chuan’s body turned out to be a life-sized paper effigy, which then suddenly burst into flames and began to burn.

This scene startled everyone present.

Even Tu Youming couldn’t help but frown, muttering, “Substitute technique?

This kid can even master such esoteric methods?”

Seeing that it was just a paper effigy that was fooled and not Lu Chuan himself, Mu Nanqing let out a sigh of relief, saying, “I knew Xiaochuan wouldn’t be so reckless!”

Xiu Niang, though shocked and somewhat annoyed, still commented, “Alright, I underestimated the guy.

But now I want to see how he deals with a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!”

As Tu Youming realized he had been deceived by the substitute technique, he instantly tensed up, knowing that such methods are often followed by an unexpected attack.

At that moment, the Great Elder exclaimed, “Watch your back!”

Tu Youming quickly turned around, only to see a tiny Linglong Pagoda hurtling toward him with astonishing speed.

“Pitiful sneaking tricks, do you think such methods will work on me?”

Tu Youming unleashed his power, swiftly creating a protective shield in front of him.

But to his surprise, like piercing through a piece of paper, the tiny Linglong Pagoda tore through the shield and continued bearing down on him.

Tu Youming’s expression changed, realizing too late the unusualness of the small pagoda, with no chance left to evade.

He channeled all his strength to resist the pagoda.

The next second, he felt an immense force transmitting from the pagoda, his face dramatically altering.

“How is this possible!”

Bang!

The force from the collision with the pagoda exploded, sending Tu Youming hurtling backwards, crashing through a dozen trees before carving a deep trench in the ground, where he finally came to a stop.
