“Only the Immortal’s Beard Herb is left?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Yes, only this one material is left.”

Xu Shenghua nodded thoughtfully and then said, “Well, if I come across this material, I will definitely keep an eye out for it for you.”

“Is that so?

I truly appreciate it, Patriarch Xu.

But now I would like you to recall whether you have heard anything about this Immortal’s Beard Herb, recently, here in Flower City.”

Lu Chuan’s sudden question made Xu Shenghua a bit nervous.

“Haven’t I just said?

If I encounter this material, I will keep an eye out for you.”

“Why are you asking so much?

Of course, I don’t know, if I knew where to find Immortal’s Beard Herb, I would definitely inform you at the first opportunity, rest assured about that.”

He said it very naturally, as if he were speaking the truth.

However, Lu Chuan could tell that when he spoke just now, Xu Shenghua was a bit uneasy; this guy might have recently heard about the Immortal’s Beard Herb but is unwilling to reveal it.

“Xu Shenghua, I hope you cooperate well with the Hua family’s matter.

After all, your opportunities are running out.”

Having said this, Xu Shenghua abruptly looked up at Lu Chuan and Hua Qianwu.

“What do you mean?

How are my chances running out?

Make yourself clear!”

Lu Chuan said indifferently, “The Third Elder of Sky Martial Sect, including Lu Ming from the Lu clan, they have no chances left.

You still have a chance to live, so I hope you cherish it.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shenghua instantly became alarmed, stepping back several paces as he tensely swallowed.

“What do you mean by that?”

Lu Chuan looked at him and smiled faintly, “Can’t you figure out what I mean?

Huang Yueqing and Lu Ming are already dead!”

Xu Shenghua’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Lu Chuan.

The Xu family members assembled around were also frightened, their eyes revealing disbelief as they looked at Lu Chuan.

Huang Yueqing was an influential figure, the Third Elder of Sky Martial Sect!

The Third Elder of the Sky Martial Sect was dead?

In Flower City!

And what was most outrageous was that it involved a member of the Lu clan—this was utterly preposterous!

Xu Shenghua, looking at Lu Chuan, felt incredibly surprised; he didn’t expect that the reason he hadn’t heard from Huang Yueqing and Lu Ming was this.

At this moment, Xu Shenghua’s mind was frantically deliberating that he really might have no chance of turning things around.

If even the Third Elder from Sky Martial Sect was of no help, then didn’t that mean the Xu family had no hope of prevailing?

It wouldn’t be long before Lu Chuan would help the Hua family gather the last material and revive their family spirit tree.

By then, the Xu family would have no possibility of surpassing the Hua family.

Thinking this, Xu Shenghua couldn’t help but take a deep breath; he was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

“I truly do not know about the Immortal’s Beard Herb.

You should ask other families!”

He said impatiently.

As long as Lu Chuan doesn’t find the Immortal’s Beard Herb, everything would still be negotiable.

Lu Chuan spread his hands nonchalantly and said, “Since none of you know, then let us begin settling accounts.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shenghua’s eyes bulged as he looked at Lu Chuan and asked hastily, “What accounts?

What do I have to settle with you?”

He quickly retorted.

The rest of the crowd also stood up.

“What nonsense are you talking about?

You, a young junior, think you can settle accounts with us, have you even considered your own status?”

“What’s there to settle?

Does our Xu family owe you anything?

Stop spouting nonsense here!”

“Our Xu family conducts itself with integrity, what right do you have to trouble us?

It seems to me you’re just looking for a problem where there is none!”

“Hua Qianwu, these are the people you’ve brought!

Speaking to us like this?

Can our families still cooperate after this?”

Hua Qianwu stood out, confronting everyone without flinching, “I believe everyone here understands what we’re talking about.”

“Your Xu family has colluded with the Sky Martial Sect, trying to snatch the Divine Tree branch from Lu Chuan’s hands.

Not only that, you also have thoughts of bringing down the Hua family, to reign supreme on your own!”

“What, is there something wrong with what I said?”

Hua Qianwu looked at Xu Shenghua, her gaze sharp and piercing.

Xu Shenghua took a deep breath and spoke in a composed manner, “You might be misunderstanding, the Third Elder of the Sky Martial Sect came to rest at our Xu family’s estate, it’s not something we can decide at will.”

“Is that so?

Then what about Bai Ye?

Isn’t he also in league with your Xu family?”

Xu Shenghua quickly said, “Miss Hua, we should not make baseless accusations.”

Hua Qianwu’s cold eyes surveyed the group surrounding her.

“Originally, we were willing to offer your family some extra resources to buy the information about the Divine Tree branch, allowing you to become the second greatest aristocratic family in Flower City.”

“However, not long after you took the position of the second-in-command, you’ve already been plotting how to take down the top dog!”

“Well done, if things have come to this point, do you really expect me to speak to you nicely?

Dream on!”

Hua Qianwu said coldly.

Upon hearing this, a sinking feeling overcame Xu Shenghua, sensing bad omens.

It seemed that Hua Qianwu truly came here to cause trouble for their Xu family.

This was indeed tricky because, after all, the Xu family was still slightly weaker in strength compared to the Hua family.

The Hua Family Patriarch had just broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, his power terrifying, while he was only at the peak of the Martial King Realm, meaning the Xu family would definitely be at a disadvantage should they fight the Hua family.

“Hua Qianwu, you’re making such final statements, it seems, indeed, there is no need for our families to cooperate anymore.”

Then, Xu Shenghua scoffed coldly, “But since the four of you have come, you might as well stay; don’t bother going back.”

Hearing this, the other members of the Xu family could hardly restrain themselves, seemingly ready to act.

They all held their breath, waiting for Xu Shenghua’s command to attack en masse!

Xu Shenghua had steeled himself in his heart.

Since the Hua family wanted to break ties with them, they certainly wouldn’t indulge them anymore.

By capturing Hua Qianwu and holding her hostage, the Hua family would no longer dare to act against their Xu family.

In Xu Shenghua’s eyes, Hua Qianwu was far too foolish, personally delivering a bargaining chip to them, which might just save the Xu family’s life.

Seeing everyone around her itching to move, Hua Qianwu clenched her fists in anger, glaring at Xu Shenghua and scolded, “Bastard, ingrate!

We will not let you off the hook!”

“Hahaha!

That’s my line, I absolutely will not let you off.

Once we capture you, with your enticing appearance, I bet you could make our Xu family a tidy sum of money.”

He laughed triumphantly.

At the same time, the other Xu family members all quietly drew their weapons, ready for battle at any moment.

Upon this, Lu Chuan stepped forward, looking towards Xu Shenghua, and asked coldly, “Are you aware of who Huang Yueqing was killed by?”
