Chapter 719 - 719 679 Selection_1

719: Chapter 679 Selection_1 719: Chapter 679 Selection_1 Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan with great surprise, Lu Chuan’s words had taken him aback.

“The Lu Manor of Dubhe City, was it truly destroyed by you?”

He was uncertain and chose to ask again.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and spoke indifferently, “Yes, the Lu Manor was indeed annihilated by me, everyone inside, high and low, died by my hand.”

“It seems I really underestimated you, although Dubhe City is not one of the Lu family’s most important branches, it is still not to be taken lightly.”

“It appears that your strength is indeed very formidable, possessing such powerful abilities at such a young age, truly extraordinary.”

“It seems that partnering with you was the right decision, I have found a powerful ally for our Dongfang family.”

Dongfang Cheng picked up his teacup, took a gentle sip, and continued, “At first, I sought you out because you possessed some notable treasures, I felt that our collaboration could complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, helping each other to deal with the Lu family.”

“But now it seems you are indeed a powerful ally, capable of rivaling the entirety of the Sky Martial Sect by yourself.”

He scanned the surroundings, the room was devoid of Sky Martial Sect members, and only then did a faint smile appear on his face.

For him, offending the Sky Martial Sect was not a fear, but such words, if overheard by someone from the sect, could still cause some undesired repercussions.

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “You flatter me, now that we are allies, what’s your next plan?”

Dongfang Cheng, resting his chin on one hand, curiously looked at Lu Chuan, “I’m more curious about your next plan, you alone, going up against the Lu family, that kind of courage is not something ordinary people possess.”

“So, where does this confidence come from?”

Lu Chuan, unimpressed, replied, “Keep moving forward, keep fighting upwards, until I reach the Lu Manor, until I hit the core of the Kunlun Domain.”

“For me, this is something I must achieve; this has been my journey all along.”

“I will continue to grow stronger, continue to challenge formidable enemies.”

“I’m simply adhering to a goal in my heart, to avenge my father.”

Lu Chuan stated with conviction.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Cheng couldn’t help but nod, “It seems you indeed have deep-seated enmity with the Lu family.”

“Your approach is also remarkably decisive, going straight for the top, ignoring many other considerations.”

“This style of action is only something the strong can possess, something impossible for ordinary people.”

He nodded in admiration, “It’s clear to see, you’re definitely no ordinary person.”

After a round of praise, Dongfang Cheng stood up, looked towards the door, and said, “Shall we go outside and see how Ahn Xuwu is doing?”

“If he’s ready, we can set off now.”

Then, Lu Chuan also stood up, and together they walked out of the reception room.

Once in the courtyard outside, they saw Ahn Xuwu had already gathered a group of martial artists.

They were neatly arranged in a square formation, standing before Ahn Xuwu.

In front of them, Ahn Xuwu called out, “Listen well, everyone, next, I will select the five strongest from among you to accompany me to Myriad Stars City, for further training with the Dongfang family.”

The crowd below burst into discussion.

“The Dongfang family?

That name sounds familiar, doesn’t it?”

“Didn’t they fall into obscurity some years back?

Are they making a comeback now?”

“They’re still an aristocratic family, after all, training there for a while is certain to greatly enhance one’s strength.”

“This is a good opportunity, we must compete for it,”

Following that, Ahn Xuwu continued, “As long as you’re chosen, you will undergo a year of hard cultivation.

After one year, you may even break through to the Martial Emperor Realm!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked.

“Martial Emperor Realm?

Did I hear that wrong?”

“Sect Leader Ahn, are you serious?

Breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm?

That’s a realm so distant for us!”

“I originally thought that if I were to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, it wouldn’t be possible until I was at least in my forties or fifties.”

“Who would’ve thought that just a year spent with the Dongfang family would enable a breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm?”

“It’s outrageous, the speed of this breakthrough is simply terrifying!”

In the eyes of these core disciples, being able to come to the Sky Martial Sect was lucky enough.

The sect was far superior in every way compared to the other renowned martial arts families within Dubhe City.

But they hadn’t expected that the cultivation speed offered by the Dongfang family could be so much stronger than even the Sky Martial Sect.

The crowd was puzzled, wasn’t the Dongfang family down on their luck in the earlier years?

Have they made a comeback?

At that moment, Dongfang Cheng stepped forward.

He looked at the crowd and said, “Everyone, rest assured.

I am the third son of the Dongfang family.

I personally guarantee to you all that as long as you are chosen to go to Myriad Stars City, at least three out of the five will break through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

I can assure you of this.”

“If a year passes without these results, I will compensate you with hundreds of thousands of gold.

I will not deceive you,”

he said with utmost sincerity.

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the audience was incredibly excited.

Although they couldn’t possibly know what the results would be after a year, it was absolutely a great thing to be able to study with the Dongfang family.

Ahn Xuwu, looking at Dongfang Cheng enthusiastically, said, “Young Master Dongfang, rest assured, I will select the five most outstanding disciples right now and take them to Myriad Stars City!”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “No problem, please continue.”

Ahn Xuwu looked at the crowd and announced, “Next, you’ll pair up to spar and practice your skills.

The final five victors will accompany me to Myriad Stars City!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was eager and ready to roll up their sleeves,

and they prepared themselves to head to the dueling arena.

While they were sparring, Dongfang Cheng turned to Lu Chuan.

“This is a map of Myriad Stars City, which records some paths in and around the city.

You can also reach Myriad Stars City by following this map.”

At that moment, a Myriad Realms Bird descended from the sky.

Lu Chuan took the map and put it in his pocket.

Then, Dongfang Cheng raised his arm, allowing the Myriad Realms Bird to perch on his forearm.

Tied to the right leg of the Myriad Realms Bird was a small capsule, from which Dongfang Cheng pulled out a slip of paper.

After reading it, his brow furrowed immediately.

“Young Master Lu, I must leave first.

There’s been an upheaval in Myriad Stars City, it seems the strife has already begun,”

“I can’t delay here.

This selection will likely continue into the evening.

You set off tomorrow morning.

I’ve given you a map, follow it to Myriad Stars City.

I will arrange for someone to greet you at the city gates,”

Lu Chuan, unable to suppress his curiosity, asked, “What’s the situation in Myriad Stars City?”

“The Lu family might be making a move against us.

The strife within the city is unceasing, and the fighting is constant.

I must go back and take charge of the situation, to keep our ranks from falling into disarray.

So, we will be leaving now,”

Dongfang Cheng patted Lu Chuan’s shoulder and then headed toward the main gate.
