596: Chapter 556 Aftermath Work_1 596: Chapter 556 Aftermath Work_1 Yuan Gangquan looked at the body on the ground and immediately started shaking uncontrollably from fear.

Lu Tianming’s corpse in front of him was in an extremely tragic state.

The fierce expression on his face, twisted limbs, and blood holes all over his body were enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

Yuan Gangquan swallowed hard and forcibly calmed himself down, then looked up at Lu Chuan and said, “Rest assured, I’ll handle the aftermath.

I will make sure it’s done properly.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and then prepared to return to the Gu family.

Several big entrances of Carefree City were still being guarded by Lu Tianming’s subordinates; they too needed to be dealt with.

“City Lord Yuan, I heard that Lu Tianming ordered his men to seal off the city gates, is that right?”

Hearing this, Yuan Gangquan quickly nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter as well.

I’ll trick them into one place and then deal with them.”

“Are you capable of dealing with them?

What if you can’t beat them?”

Yuan Gangquan immediately added, “Although Lu Tianming was very strong and I’m no match for him, I can certainly take care of his soldiers.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan waved his hand at him, “Take care of it properly and you can continue to be the City Lord without worry.”

Hearing this, Yuan Gangquan quickly nodded and began disposing of the body in front of him.

Eventually, Yuan Gangquan let out a sigh of relief, his ability to play both sides had not put him in danger and had also successfully preserved his position.

If he had fully turned sides to either one before, he probably would be in trouble now.

Lu Chuan turned his head to Hua Qianwu and asked, “When do you plan to return to Flower City?”

“Tomorrow, I suppose.

I don’t want to stay here too long.

Can you come with me tomorrow?”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “Better not, you go back first.”

Hearing this, Hua Qianwu immediately became angry, “What do you mean?

I helped you out.

You can’t go back on your word.

You said you would go back with me!”

She spoke with a sense of grievance.

Lu Chuan smiled slightly and said, “You go back first thing in the morning tomorrow.

It won’t be long before I also head to Flower City.

I’ll come to find you when that time comes.”

Hearing this, Hua Qianwu looked at Lu Chuan skeptically, “Really?”

“Of course, I promise you, I will definitely go to Flower City.

Then, I’ll come to find you at the Hua family’s residence.”

Hua Qianwu nodded with half-belief, “Fine, I’ll trust you this once.

If you dare to play me, I’ll never forgive you!”

“See you in Flower City!”

After finishing her words, Hua Qianwu turned and left.

As she walked away briskly, she bit her lip, unable to stop marveling in her mind.

She marveled at how the two flames Lu Chuan controlled possessed such tremendous energy, capable of easily burning Lu Tianming to death!

No wonder the Divine Tree branch appeared in his possession; he truly was not a simple man…

Lu Chuan also turned around and left the place, heading back to the Gu family.

Everyone at the Gu Family Manor had stayed up all night waiting for Lu Chuan’s return.

In the Council Hall, the members of the Gu family were restless, some silently praying, others too anxious to breathe properly.

Gu Xiaorou sat on a chair, her face full of worry.

She knew that Lu Chuan was very strong, but the enemy he faced was a martial general of the Lu family; the outcome was still uncertain.

Gu Changye paced back and forth, then after a moment of contemplation said, “What if we all take action and go help Lu Chuan against that Lu Tianming?”

His suggestion was met with opposition from the elders.

“How can that be done?

If we all act together, won’t the Lu family wipe out our clan as well?”

“If it were just Lu Chuan alone, maybe if they took Lu Chuan away, this whole thing would be over, right?”

Gu Changye sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

He knew he couldn’t make decisions anymore; these people definitely wouldn’t help Lu Chuan.

Just as everyone was feeling tense and worried, outside the door, the figure of Lu Chuan slowly stepped into the Council Hall.

Seeing Lu Chuan return unharmed, everyone instantly became excited.

“Lu Chuan is back, and you…how come you have no injuries?”

“Didn’t you fight with that Lu Tianming?

What happened in the end?”

“So, in the end, you didn’t fight?

Otherwise, let’s just run away.”

“Run my ass, all four city gates have been sealed, how can we escape?

Can you fly?”

There was argument again within the Council Hall.

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Changye and said, “Lu Tianming is already dead.”

After saying this in a calm tone, silence fell upon the room, and all eyes were fixed on Lu Chuan.

“Really?

Lu Tianming…is already dead?” Gu Changye looked at Lu Chuan with some surprise.

Gu Xiaorou quickly stood up and approached Lu Chuan.

“Lu Chuan, is what you said true?

Lu Tianming is already dead?”

She widened her bright eyes, gazing at Lu Chuan with hopeful anticipation.

“Xiaorou, do you not believe my words?”

Gu Xiaorou quickly nodded, “Of course I believe you, it’s just hard to accept for a moment.

If the enemy is dead, that would be much better…”

Gu Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief.

With Lu Tianming dead, the Gu family had survived once again.

Several elders quickly stood up, looking incredulously at Lu Chuan and asking, “Is what you say true?”

“Lu Tianming was a top fighter in the Martial Emperor Realm, ordinary people couldn’t possibly defeat him!”

“Where is the body?

We need to see the body!”

Lu Chuan looked at the elders and said, “Yuan Gangquan is already dealing with the body.

If you don’t believe it, you can find Yuan Gangquan and ask when you have the chance; he witnessed everything.”

Suddenly, the elders were at a loss for words.

The truth lay before their eyes; if they didn’t believe it, they could simply go and ask Yuan Gangquan, and the answer would naturally come out.

And such a big joke couldn’t be made up so casually.

The elders looked at one another, no longer questioning.

Suddenly, everyone present was extremely shocked, and their gazes towards Lu Chuan changed to ones of extraordinary regard.

When Lu Chuan first came to the Gu family’s residence, everyone’s first impression of him was that of a clean and handsome young man.

From beginning to end, they never thought to compare Lu Chuan with battle-hardened martial generals like Lu Tianming.

But now, this young man, who exuded an air of nobility, had actually killed Lu Tianming, which was truly inconceivable.

Gu Changye suddenly let out a hearty laugh.

“Hahaha, well done!

With Lu Tianming dead, I don’t think the Lu family can spare any more people for a while!”

“Our Gu family, it seems, has survived a great disaster and will be blessed afterwards.”

Gu Changye’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable fondness as he looked at Lu Chuan.

So young, and yet so powerful; if he were to grow a few more years, how strong he would become, Gu Changye didn’t dare to imagine.

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaorou and said, “Tomorrow, I will go to Flower City.

Will you come with me?”
