Chapter 720 - 720 680 Heading to Myriad Stars City_1

720: Chapter 680: Heading to Myriad Stars City_1 720: Chapter 680: Heading to Myriad Stars City_1 Dongfang Cheng and Dongfang Qing left the courtyard together.

Seeing the two men depart, Ahn Xuwu quickly walked over and approached Lu Chuan.

“What’s happening?

Why are they leaving?”

“There’s been an incident in Myriad Stars City, they need to go back and check.”

“It seems urgent, then.

What about us?

Are we going on our own?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Dongfang Cheng gave me a map, we can reach Myriad Stars City by following it, and he will arrange someone to meet us at the city gate.”

“Go select people, and after that’s settled, we’ll head to Myriad Stars City together.”

“If we don’t manage to leave today, then we’ll set out tomorrow.”

Ahn Xuwu nodded helplessly, “Alright, we’ll set out tomorrow then.”

He turned and walked towards the dueling arena, where two martial artists were fighting fiercely, neither willing to miss this chance.

After Ahn Xuwu arrived, he quickly reprimanded them to sparr properly.

Lu Chuan turned to Gu Xiaorou and said, “Why not rest for now?

We’ll set off down the mountain tomorrow morning.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded slightly, “Right, if I don’t have the rare book for training the jade silk ring, it will be very difficult for me to practice.”

Lu Chuan looked at Ahn Xuwu, “I’ll go get it from him later, you go rest in the guest room for now.”

Immediately after, Lu Chuan walked over to Ahn Xuwu.

On the dueling arena, the two martial artists were entangled, the ground already strewn with bloodstains.

It was clear that both were fighting desperately, not willing to let go of the opportunity.

“Sect Leader Ahn, when can you bring the rare book for the jade silk ring?”

Ahn Xuwu smiled and nodded, “No problem, I’ll bring it over first thing tomorrow morning, you can take it with you without any issues.”

He was in a great mood at the moment, unable to hide his joy at the thought of the Sky Martial Sect producing several Martial Emperor powerhouses in the future.

“How goes the selection?”

“Not bad, we should have results by nightfall.

You don’t need to worry about this part, go rest.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and then made his way to the guest room.

In the courtyard, Lu Chuan saw Gu Xiaorou flicking her right hand, sending out the silk wire.

The sharp wire whipped against a rock, instantly slicing it into several pieces.

Gu Xiaosang clapped excitedly, “That’s awesome!

This Magic Artifact is much better than a sword.”

Gu Xiaorou sighed helplessly, “It’s a pity I only know the simplest of techniques and can’t achieve what Bai Hao does.”

“Don’t worry, with practice, you’ll become stronger than that guy Bai Hao sooner or later.”

Lu Chuan walked over and said to the two, “You should rest early, we have a long journey tomorrow, and it will be exhausting.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded slightly, “No problem, Lu Chuan, once we get to Myriad Stars City, things will get dangerous.

That place is directly governed by the Lu family, with a direct link from Lu Manor to the Lu Family Main Residence.

Any small movement will be reported there.”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly and shrugged, “Sooner or later, we’ll have to fight, and sooner or later, we’ll have to pass through.

If danger really comes, just take care of yourselves first, I can protect myself.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded helplessly.

Afterward, they went back to their rooms to rest.

…

The next morning, Lu Chuan got up early, as did Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang.

Ahn Xuwu sat in the courtyard, waiting for the three to come out.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan, he quickly stood up with a smile.

“Young Master Lu, shall we set out?”

Lu Chuan approached and asked, “Have you made your selections?”

“Of course, I have picked out the five most talented warriors.

The contest was only part of it, I also conducted other tests, which took until late last night.”

“Let’s go, I have prepared carriages, they’re at the foot of the mountain.”

Lu Chuan and his two companions followed Ahn Xuwu out of the courtyard and came onto a path outside, where they saw the five martial artists selected by Ahn Xuwu.

The five looked rather miserable, each with injuries and bandages all over their bodies, their spirits sapped.

If Ahn Xuwu hadn’t mentioned it, Lu Chuan would have thought these five were beaten-up ruffians.

“The competition yesterday must have been brutal.”

Lu Chuan remarked.

“Of course, such opportunities aren’t always available.

These five were able to fight their way out because each has their own strengths.”

Under Ahn Xuwu’s lead, they arrived at the gate of the sect.

Once they stepped out of the gate, they could descend the stairs down the mountain.

At the gate, Elder Lih Qing stood by to see Ahn Xuwu off.

“Sect Leader Ahn, you can rest assured once you are there, I will manage the sect well.”

Ahn Xuwu nodded slightly, “Great Elder, I trust in your capabilities.

So, from now on, the Sky Martial Sect is in your hands to manage.”

“With Sect Leader Ahn placing such trust in me, I will not let you down.”

Ahn Xuwu smiled helplessly and then began descending the stairs.

Even if he didn’t choose Lih Qing, he had no other choice.

Within the entire Sky Martial Sect, no one else could carry the burden like Lih Qing could.

The nine of them made their way down the stairs together.

Descending the mountain was easy, climbing it was difficult.

Within a few minutes, they rapidly reached the foot of the mountain.

Two carriages were parked on the road in the forest.

“Young Master Lu, you three take the front carriage.

I’ll squeeze in with the others and take the one at the back,” Ahn Xuwu said, thoughtfully giving the three their own space.

Lu Chuan made no fuss and headed straight for the front carriage.

After boarding, the coachman whipped the reins and the carriage moved forward.

Gradually, they left the mountainous area.

When they reached the open plains nearby, the carriage picked up speed and headed in the direction of Myriad Stars City.

Lu Chuan gleaned from the coachman that the journey to Myriad Stars City would take roughly a day and a night.

This meant they might arrive at Myriad Stars City by late at night, and if they encountered a station on the way, they might even get a night’s sleep.

Gu Xiaosang leaned against the window, peering out at the scenery.

“This is my first time traveling so far; I wonder what Myriad Stars City looks like.”

She scanned the scenery outside with curiosity.

At this moment, the coachman said cheerfully, “I’m very familiar with this area, especially Myriad Stars City—I’ve been there many times.”

“Really?

How is it?

Good or not?

Are the people friendly?” Gu Xiaosang asked, curious.

“It’s okay.

People are all the same.

But the city is quite large and it’s a manufacturing hub.”

“Many high-end magic artifacts, armor, and accessories can be found there.

If you’re in need of equipment now, that would be the best place to go.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan suddenly became interested; perhaps in Myriad Stars City, he could find someone capable of unlocking the seal on the Soul Terminating Sword.

“However, we have to be careful on this stretch of road.

Mountain bandits often create trouble here, emerging to block the road and rob travelers.”

“If you don’t give them what they want, they’ll dissect you with horses, and sometimes you can’t escape death even if you hand over your belongings.

These desperate and ferocious ruffians have been rampant for who knows how many years.”

Lu Chuan curiously asked, “Hasn’t anyone dealt with them?”

“The Lu family from Myriad Stars City claims they will handle it, but they have always been all talk and no action.

People have lost their trust in the Lu family.”
