685: Chapter 645 The Second Elder of Sky Martial Sect_1 685: Chapter 645 The Second Elder of Sky Martial Sect_1 The next morning, Lu Chuan got up early and began training in the courtyard.

The peaceful courtyard contrasted starkly with the violent storm outside.

The entire Dubhe City was in a state of anxiety, with everyone worried about the next move of the Lu family.

There was no doubt that after the destruction of Lu Manor, the Lu family would definitely send heavy troops to garrison Dubhe City.

Subsequently, they would surely conduct a thorough investigation.

By then, all the major families would inevitably be scrutinized.

During this process, they feared they would suffer some persecution.

The individuals from the Lu family were known for their unsavoury methods, and should they visit each family’s residence in turn, it was likely they would extort some benefits.

…

Inside the Zhan Residence, Zhan Tianyu came to visit Lu Chuan early in the morning.

“Young Master Lu, what are your plans for today?”

Zhan Tianyu approached with a cheery smile.

Lu Chuan, sitting and resting on a stone chair, saw him and smiled, saying, “Take a seat first.”

“I plan to make a trip to the Sky Martial Sect.”

Zhan Tianyu frowned slightly, “The Sky Martial Sect seems to have some grudges against you, too.

If you visit them, wouldn’t it be very dangerous?

Moreover, their strength is much stronger than those from Lu Manor.”

“If you go alone, I’m afraid you won’t be a match for them.”

Lu Chuan shrugged indifferently, “Of course, I won’t go there to confront them directly.

I just want to find out some information from them.”

“This…

may not be easy, either.

Who in the Sky Martial Sect would sit down and have a peaceful chat with you?”

“And the headquarters of the Sky Martial Sect is located on Luoyan Mountain, outside Dubhe City.

The mountain is steep and perilous, not easy for ordinary people to ascend.”

“Their branch in Dubhe City usually selects some young martial artists with talent and takes them to the mountain for training.”

“That’s right, Sky Martial Sect just happens to be recruiting a batch of new young martial artists.

Why don’t you join in the fun and see if you can meet some people from the Sky Martial Sect?”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “When do they start their recruitment?”

“It lasts for a week, and today is the third day.

The selection will start after noon.”

“How about we both go over and join the excitement?”

Zhan Tianyu suggested.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, let’s go take a look then.”

Immediately, the two of them got up together, ready to leave the courtyard.

At this moment, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang walked over together.

“Are you going out?

You’re now a celebrity in Dubhe City; everyone knows your face and name.”

Gu Xiaorou said as she approached.

“Right, you dare to go out now?

Aren’t you afraid of being attacked by those coveting the one hundred thousand gold?”

Gu Xiaosang followed up immediately.

Lu Chuan looked at Zhan Tianyu and asked, “Does your family have things like masks that can cover the face?

Anything that does the job is fine.”

“I have a black veil here; make do with it.”

Lu Chuan took the black veil from his hand and put it on, covering half of his face.

If passersby saw him now, they would definitely not recognize him as Lu Chuan.

Only Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang could barely identify Lu Chuan from his stature and posture.

After concealing his identity, Lu Chuan left the Zhan Residence with Zhan Tianyu.

Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang insisted on following, so the four of them left the house together, heading towards the location of the martial artists’ recruitment.

The city was still bustling, and the four of them soon arrived at the square of Dubhe City.

A dueling arena had been set up here, attracting a crowd of several hundred.

Everyone excitedly watched the two competitors battling on the platform.

Lu Chuan walked towards the dueling arena.

“The person currently overseeing the selection is the Second Elder of Sky Martial Sect, a figure of extremely high prestige within the sect.”

“The martial artists participating in the contest this time are all exceptionally serious, exerting their full potential.

As long as they catch the eye of the Second Elder, their future will soar.”

Zhan Tianyu said and squeezed into the crowd.

On the stage, two people were each wielding a sword and a saber and were continuously circling each other.

After several exchanges, Lu Chuan could see that both of them possessed the strength of the Saint Realm, very average in skill, but they had youth on their side, and thus, great potential for the future.

In the distance, an old man in a red robe adorned with flame patterns was sitting on a wooden chair, his eyes bright and piercing as he watched the two on the dueling arena.

That was the Second Elder of the Sky Martial Sect.

This old man surely knew about the Divine Tree branch.

What Lu Chuan now needed to ascertain was the identity of the person who had tasked them with finding the Divine Tree branch and where they came from.

Soon, one of the fighters on the dueling arena was struck on the shoulder, blood spurting out, and the victor was immediately declared.

The Second Elder stood up and clapped softly.

“Both of you have a good foundation and a promising future.

However, I have only a few spots available, so I can only take the winner as my disciple.”

Hearing this, the victor jumped up excitedly, waving his weapon around, so overwhelmed that tears streamed down his face.

The elder sat back down, and very soon, the next pair of martial artists climbed onto the stage to commence their duel.

At this moment, Lu Chuan noticed a young man in black standing behind the old man, silent and stern.

“Who is that?”

Zhan Tianyu immediately followed Lu Chuan’s gaze.

“Oh, him?

He’s Gu Lie’s direct disciple!”

“Gu Lie?

Is that the Second Elder’s name?”

“Exactly, and this direct disciple’s name is Zhao Shengyang.

His strength is at the peak of the Martial King Realm, and he’s only just reached the age of twenty, his future is indeed promising.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Does this Gu Lie have many direct disciples?”

“Not many, only about twelve.”

Lu Chuan nodded again; he knew that this Second Elder held great respect within the Sky Martial Sect, and about the Divine Tree branch, he must know something.

But the problem was, he now had to find a way to get in touch with this man, or else he wouldn’t even have a chance to start asking questions.

Immediately, Lu Chuan turned his attention to Gu Xiaosang.

“Hey, why are you staring at me like that?

Need something from me?”

“Do me a favor, go up there and participate in the selection.

I believe you can definitely become Gu Lie’s disciple!”

Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan skeptically, “Why would I want to become his disciple?”

“What are you saying?

Do you know how many martial artists in Dubhe City dream of becoming Gu Lie’s disciple?

And you’re questioning it, that’s just outrageous!”

Zhan Tianyu said with an exasperated look.

Gu Xiaosang continued undeterred, “That’s other people’s desire, what does it have to do with me?”

“It has to do with me.

You get up there and compete, then become Gu Lie’s disciple, and that way, you can create an opportunity for me to meet him alone!”

Lu Chuan urged anxiously.

Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Why do you need to see him alone?”

“Of course, it’s about the Divine Tree branch.

I need to understand the origin of this branch, its specific use, and exactly who is looking for it.”

“Right now, I know nothing about it, and this Gu Lie, including the Sky Martial Sect, being tasked by someone to send people to the secular world to search for this branch, they must know something.”

“So please, just help me out this time.”

After pondering for a while, Gu Xiaosang reluctantly nodded, “Fine, for the sake of you being my brother-in-law, I’ll help you this once.

Watch me perform!”

With that said, she headed towards the registration area.
