Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 718 - 718 678 Eradicating the Roots_1

718: Chapter 678: Eradicating the Roots_1 718: Chapter 678: Eradicating the Roots_1 Having received the answer, Lu Chuan looked towards Ahn Xuwu.

“Zhao Shengyang, this guy hates me a lot, don’t you plan to deal with him?”

Ahn Xuwu was momentarily stunned.

Zhao Shengyang was Guu Lie’s most favored disciple, with truly astonishing talent, and nurturing him well could lead to immeasurable achievements in the future.

Lu Chuan looked at Lih Qing and asked, “When he told you this news, how did he exaggerate it?”

“This…he indeed exaggerated quite a bit, even telling me to attack you directly without a word when I got here.”

“Thankfully, Sect Leader Ahn stopped me.

Although I was really angry, upon further thought, it was indeed us who acted first, and we need to cooperate now.

Fighting wouldn’t be wise.”

This decision of Ahn Xuwu’s was nearly a salvation for the Sky Martial Sect.

If they had allowed hatred to blind them and started fighting Lu Chuan directly, the Sky Martial Sect would have completely degraded into an insignificant Martial Path sect.

But if they reached an agreement with Lu Chuan, and even managed to owe a favor to the Dongfang family, the Sky Martial Sect would still have a chance to rise again.

From the standpoint of a sect leader, he had made the best choice.

Lu Chuan looked at Ahn Xuwu and said, “Take care of Zhao Shengyang.

I don’t want to see him again.

If he doesn’t die, he will try to harm me sooner or later.”

Ahn Xuwu took a deep breath, “No problem, Elder Lih Qing, you’ll handle this matter.”

Lih Qing nodded reluctantly, “Guu Lie’s proudest disciple, but it’s a pity he couldn’t see the situation clearly.

Since that’s the case, I’ll send him on his way, as a reunion with his master.”

Having said that, he left the reception room.

He went out into the courtyard, and Zhao Shengyang’s figure hurriedly sprang out.

“Great Elder, have you killed that bastard yet?

Why isn’t there any sound of fighting?

Could it be that the bastard isn’t inside?”

Zhao Shengyang looked at Lih Qing in a rush, seemingly eager to hear from him that Lu Chuan was dead.

Lih Qing sneered coldly, “Shengyang, you were out of luck meeting Lu Chuan, and your luck was terribly bad.”

Zhao Shengyang took two steps back, asking in great confusion.

“Great Elder, what do you mean by that?”

“What do I mean?

You’ll know very soon.”

Suddenly, Lih Qing drew the sword from behind him.

At the sight of the sword blade, Zhao Shengyang’s face was stricken with terror.

“Great Elder, you’ve gone mad!

I am Zhao Shengyang, a Direct Disciple of Sky Martial Sect, a core member!”

“You…

are you going to strike me?”

Lih Qing sneered coldly, “That’s right.

You’ve offended Young Master Lu, so you must die.

He was not planning to trouble himself with you anymore, but it seems you couldn’t leave it alone.

It appears I must send you on your way.”

“I know you were close to your master, so go down and see him.”

Zhao Shengyang panicked, shouting loudly, “You’re all mad!

All of you are lunatics!

That bastard Lu, what does he have?!”

He shouted in terror and then turned to flee.

Lih Qing didn’t say another word, darted forward with a quick step, and thrust his sword towards Zhao Shengyang’s back.

Whoosh!!

The sword blade pierced through Zhao Shengyang’s body, and blood immediately flowed out.

He looked down at the wound with a look of despair.

Finally, he fell in a pool of blood, lifeless.

…

Inside the reception room.

Ahn Xuwu looked at Lu Chuan, excitedly saying, “Young Master Lu is truly a man of great Divine Skills, with just a casual strike, you’ve completely healed the hidden ailments of our Great Elder.”

“Xiaorou, apologize to them!”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Dongfang Qing and scolded.

Dongfang Qing was truly remorseful and bowed his head toward Lu Chuan, “I truly apologize for what I said just now…”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Acknowledging your mistake and correcting it is commendable.”

“What should we do next?”

Lu Chuan looked at Ahn Xuwu.

Ahn Xuwu then turned his gaze toward Dongfang Cheng.

“Young Master Dongfang, as per our previous agreement, I can take five disciples to the Dongfang family for a year-long advanced training.

However, during this period, we need to assist you in repelling the Lu family, correct?”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “That’s correct.

You choose the five most outstanding and most potential martial artists, and bring them to Myriad Stars City.

Refining their skills at our Dongfang family for a year’s time is more than enough for them to grow into the most top-notch martial artists, breaking through to the Martial King Realm or even the Martial Emperor Realm is not a problem at all.”

These words left Ahn Xuwu extremely excited.

If Sky Martial Sect could produce five more Martial Emperor powerful experts, then the overall strength of the sect would see a tremendous boost.

At that time, talking just about the influence within Dubhe City, Sky Martial Sect could be considered one of the most pinnacle existences!

Thinking of this, Ahn Xuwu laughed out loud in excitement.

“No problem, I will go select them now and prepare to set off immediately.”

After speaking, he turned and left the guest room.

Dongfang Cheng then turned to Lu Chuan, “You too, once you arrive at our Dongfang family, we guarantee you at least the strength of the Martial Emperor Realm, how about that?”

“I’d rather not, your Dongfang family need not worry about me.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “I understand, your strength must be extraordinary, but these two.”

He shifted his gaze to Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang.

“The two of you, though dressed plainly, have the looks that could upstage cities and kingdoms.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan and continued, “I can assure you, their strengths can be elevated to the Martial Emperor Realm, how about that?”

He didn’t ask about their talents, as in his eyes, anyone who could accompany Lu Chuan must possess exceptional strength and talent.

With the Dongfang family allocating resources, they could certainly bring them to the status of a Martial Emperor Realm.

Hearing this, Gu Xiaosang immediately became wildly excited.

“The Martial Emperor Realm…

that level used to seem as difficult to me as ascending to the heavens, do I really have a chance of breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm in my lifetime?”

Dongfang Cheng said with a chuckle, “Of course, nothing is impossible with our Dongfang family.”

Gu Xiaorou, however, appeared more composed; she knew that accepting help from others would mean owing them favors, and in the end, it would bother Lu Chuan.

“Then we’ll accompany you on this trip, since you’re willing to do me this favor, what do you expect me to do for you in return?”

Dongfang Cheng nodded earnestly, “That’s right, I too need your help.”

“Help us deal with the Lu family.

Joining forces is more advantageous than fighting alone.

Let’s talk specifics when we get to Myriad Stars City.”

“At the very least, let’s first eradicate the Lu family’s influence in Myriad Stars City.”

Lu Chuan smiled, “Such a task, I can handle it alone.”

“Really?

You might be underestimating them; their strength is formidable.”

Lu Chuan continued, “Do you think the power of the Lu family in Dubhe City vanished on its own?”

Hearing this, Dongfang Cheng seriously looked at Lu Chuan, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, “It couldn’t be…

that you did it?”

“That’s right, the demise of Lu Manor was my doing.”
