707: Chapter 667 Waiting for a Rabbit by a Stump_1 707: Chapter 667 Waiting for a Rabbit by a Stump_1 In Dubhe City today, it has become very deserted.

The shops along the streets are all closed, and there are hardly any figures to be seen on the main roads, eerily quiet.

The reason is naturally due to the Extermination Decrees plastered all over the streets and alleys.

All of this was the work of Bai Hao.

When he exerted his power to post the Extermination Decrees throughout the city, everyone in the city became frightened.

Many in the city had witnessed Bai Hao’s methods before: he was cold and ruthless, killing as easily as one would pluck weeds.

If a passerby were to stumble upon him setting up Extermination Decrees, they would certainly be killed by him, without mercy, swift and decisive.

Therefore, during this time, most people in the city dared not go out, fearing they might accidentally encounter Bai Hao.

At the Zhan Residence early in the morning, Lu Chuan got up early and was training his footwork in the courtyard.

Zhan Tianyu walked in after having finished his breakfast, and upon entering the courtyard, he approached Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang.

“Do you need anything?

I’m about to go out and can bring it back for you,” he said.

Gu Xiaorou tilted her head to think for a moment, then shook it slightly and said, “I don’t need to buy anything.”

“Hmm, I don’t need anything either, so there’s no trouble,” Gu Xiaosang said with a smile.

Zhan Tianyu nodded slightly, “That’s good.

It’s best not to go out recently, at least wait until after three days, or until that guy shows up, then we can kill the bastard.”

“Yes, the Zhan Residence is safe; we won’t go out,” Gu Xiaorou said seriously, nodding her head.

Lu Chuan walked over to Zhan Tianyu and asked, “Any news on that guy Bai Hao?”

“Not for the time being.

It’s been two days, and all he has done besides post Extermination Decrees everywhere is nothing else,” he said.

“However, his actions have indeed frightened the residents throughout the city.

Now the streets are very deserted; everyone stays at home, afraid to go out and bump into that guy.”

“A day has passed, and that guy should have taken some action.

It’s unclear what he’s up to,” Zhan Tianyu mused with a puzzled look.

“Regardless of that guy, if he shows up, then I’ll kill him.

If he doesn’t, it’s just a bluff.

I guess he already got scared,” he said.

“That guy definitely won’t get scared.

He’s very bold.

Let’s be prepared,” Zhan Tianyu cautioned as he scrutinized Lu Chuan, still somewhat worried, “Though you’re stronger than that guy, he’s in the darkness and you’re in the light.

You don’t know where he is but he knows where you live.”

“So, you still need to be cautious.

Don’t trip up over this person,” Zhan Tianyu advised as Lu Chuan nodded with appreciation.

His words weren’t without reason; it’s always good to be cautious.

Moreover, the Extermination Decrees issued by Bai Hao in Dubhe City had never failed.

Once issued, the target was certain to die.

This concept had been deeply ingrained in the minds of all the people in Dubhe City.

So, in the eyes of most people, Lu Chuan was now in an extremely dangerous situation.

Lu Chuan, stroking his chin, fell into deep thought.

If Bai Hao were to make a move, how would he do it?

His traps mainly consisted of silk wire, used to cut and whip his enemies.

If he himself didn’t go out, then wouldn’t Bai Hao have no way to strike at him?

Lu Chuan thought that it was unlikely for Bai Hao to be able to infiltrate the Zhan Residence to attack him.

Gu Xiaorou walked over and looked at Lu Chuan, saying, “Tomorrow is the last day; he said he would act within three days, but I think he was just talking big.”

“Who knows what he’s planning, let’s just keep waiting,” Lu Chuan replied.

Just then, Zhan Tianyu suddenly burst in.

He had left not long ago and now hurried back, looking so panicked as if he had encountered a ghost.

He walked hastily toward Lu Chuan.

“What’s the matter?

To make you so anxious?”

Zhan Tianyu strode over, looked at Lu Chuan, and sighed in resignation.

“We’ve just received news that several of our Zhan family warrior students have gone missing, more than a dozen in succession!”

“Even up to this moment, people are continuing to disappear.”

“And just now, we found the body of one of the martial artists.”

“He was dismembered and thrown in a desolate area.”

“The cuts were smooth and clean; we knew immediately who was responsible when we saw it.”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “Bai Hao made his move?

He chose to target your martial arts school’s people first?”

Zhan Tianyu nodded vigorously, “Exactly, that’s what he’s done.”

“He must know that you are currently staying at the Zhan Residence, under the protection of our Zhan family.”

“So, for him to rashly break in here alone, willing to face many, his chances of winning were not great to begin with, likely no chance at all.”

“His actions today, I fear, are meant to draw us out.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “If that’s the case, then you should go, protect your Zhan family’s students well.”

Zhan Tianyu shook his head repeatedly, “How can that be okay?

What if that bastard takes advantage of the situation?”

“Taking advantage of the situation?

Of whose vulnerability?

You just go, I’ll deal with it if that guy dares to come here.”

“This…

This doesn’t seem right.

If something happens to you, the loss would be too great.

That guy’s methods are ruthless, he’ll definitely strike fatal blows given a weakness.”

Lu Chuan just smiled faintly, “I can deal fatal blows too, rest assured.

You go to your martial arts school quickly, if that bastard dares to come, I’ll make sure he dies here.”

Zhan Tianyu took a deep breath, “Well…

alright, then I’ll go first.

My eldest and second brother will also be there.”

“My old father, he will stay in the Zhan Residence for now, but I’m afraid he won’t be much help.

His strength has declined too much due to age.”

“No problem, I’m enough on my own, no help needed.”

Zhan Tianyu nodded firmly, “Okay, then I’m heading out.”

After saying this, he turned and left, exiting the yard.

Gu Xiaorou hurried over, took Lu Chuan’s arm, and said, “Let’s go, we’ll stay inside.”

“You and Xiaosang go back first, I’ll sit out here in the courtyard.

If that guy dares to come, I’ll strike him down without giving him a chance.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded helplessly, “Then be careful.

If you notice anything wrong, hurry back inside the house.”

“You don’t need to worry about me, you and Xiaosang stay well hidden in the room, don’t come out.”

Then, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang left the courtyard and returned to their room.

Lu Chuan sat at the stone table in the courtyard and brewed himself a cup of tea.

The sun gradually set, leaving only the last touch of red glow in the sky.

As the light grew dimmer, a series of rustling footsteps approached closer and closer.

Lu Chuan noticed the sound, merely smiled faintly, and set down his teacup.

“Bai Hao, you’re a bit slow, aren’t you?”

“You think I’m slow?

Wait until I send you to your death, then you’ll know if I’m fast or slow.”
