Chapter 724 - 724 684 Showing Off Power 1

724: Chapter 684: Showing Off Power (1) 724: Chapter 684: Showing Off Power (1) Inside the shop, the proprietress stood up, her gaze fixed on Lu Chuan, her expression instantly tensing.

“You…

you…”

“What about me?

Do you know who I am now?”

“You… are Lu Chuan!”

She pointed at Lu Chuan with one hand, the other covering her mouth, eyes wide with terror.

“Today, I will let everyone in the Lu Manor know that I, Lu Chuan, have come for you!”

“The castaway, the traitor, the bastard that you speak of has come for you today.

Are you not pleased?”

The proprietress hastily retreated several steps, leaning against the shelves, her breathing growing heavy.

“What do you want to do?”

“I warn you, if you dare to lay a finger on me, the Lu family will not let you off!”

Lu Chuan chuckled, “They never spared me.

They have sent people to kill me time and again, hating me to the bone.

Am I afraid of them hating me a little more?”

“Hahaha, from today forth, it will be the day of doom for the Lu family!”

“And it all starts with your inconspicuous shop!”

Lu Chuan drew his Soul Terminating Sword and stabbed toward the proprietress.

“Murder!”

She screamed in terror.

Whoosh!

Lu Chuan’s sword pierced through her throat, silencing her cries.

Then, Lu Chuan withdrew his longsword, raising his right hand.

In his palm, the Divine Fire of the Sun emerged, dancing and pulsating.

The bright, glaring flame released a fearsome, terrifying heat.

Next, Lu Chuan casually tossed it onto the floor.

Boom!

The flames burst forth violently, spreading around like a plague.

In no time at all, the Divine Fire of the Sun had set the entire house ablaze.

Lu Chuan turned and walked out of the sea of flames, back onto the street.

On the street outside, not a single figure could be seen.

At the sound of the screams just moments ago, passersby had all been frightened away from this place.

Lu Chuan continued down the street, the fierce fire burning violently behind him, the flames reaching skyward, illuminating the dark surroundings.

Under the reflection of the flames, Lu Chuan’s figure appeared before Dongfang Cheng and his companions.

“Let’s go, back to your residence.”

Dongfang Cheng took a deep breath and nodded slightly, “That’s quite a harsh welcome gift you’ve given.”

“If the people from the Lu family knew, they’d probably be furious.”

“Come on, please follow me.”

Dongfang Cheng began to see Lu Chuan in a new light; such audacity was not something ordinary people possessed.

Daring to declare war on the Lu family so blatantly was not something the average person could accomplish.

Ahn Xuwu and the five disciples following alongside were exceedingly nervous.

They all knew the status of the Lu family in the Kunlun Domain, and by doing this, Lu Chuan was undoubtedly enraging the Lu family completely.

They didn’t dare to imagine the tremendous fury the Lu family would unleash.

Soon, they arrived at the Dongfang Residence.

The place was near the city center, in a very prosperous part of town.

At the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, the people of the Dongfang family were standing at the gate, warmly welcoming everyone’s arrival.

At this time, the Dongfang family urgently needed reinforcements, so they warmly welcomed anyone who could offer help.

“Uncle, I’ve brought people.”

From the midst of the crowd, a man sporting a goatee and long hair walked up.

He flashed a brilliant smile, and his face beamed uncontrollably with excitement as he approached Lu Chuan, shaking hands with him.

“Thank you for coming all this way.

It must have been hard.”

Lu Chuan smiled faintly, “Although there were some unexpected circumstances, overall, it was quite easy and not strenuous.”

“Please come in, we have already prepared guest rooms for you in advance, you should settle in and rest as soon as possible.”

“It’s already late, I presume everyone is tired, let’s all rest early tonight, we can discuss any matters tomorrow.”

Having said that, he cheerfully led them into the residence.

The people of the Dongfang Residence looked at Lu Chuan and his group, all wearing smiles.

They now deeply understood how important the helping hand was to the Dongfang family.

Of course, for Lu Chuan as well, he needed some assistants to deal with the Lu family.

Otherwise, it would likely be a quite lengthy process to fight his way through the Lu family alone.

Once inside the residence, the vastness of the Dongfang Residence impressed everyone.

As Lu Chuan walked through, it felt like strolling in a large park with lakes and mountains aplenty.

It was no wonder that they ranked among the top ten great families in the Kunlun Domain, their strength was indeed formidable.

Soon, Lu Chuan and his companions were shown to their guest rooms.

Lu Chuan, Gu Xiaorou, and Gu Xiaosang shared a set of rooms, while Ahn Xuwu and the others were accommodated elsewhere.

After Lu Chuan returned to his room, he took off his clothes and prepared to go to sleep.

As before, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang shared one room, and Lu Chuan had a room to himself.

…

In the latter part of the night, before dawn broke, news that the Lu family’s weaponry shop had been burned down spread throughout Myriad Stars City.

Such explosive news naturally triggered countless discussions.

They were all speculating about how the fire had started.

Some informed people disclosed that before the blaze, they had heard screams coming from inside the shop.

Many speculated that it was a case of malicious arson and that someone had murdered people from the Lu family.

But such a conclusion was too bold, and they didn’t believe anyone in the Kunlun Domain dared to act so brazenly.

Soon, the incident was reported to the Lu Manor.

Before long, a Lu family squad took orders to investigate.

Leading the team was a young woman dressed in Martial Path attire.

She had a typical melon-seeded face, delicate features, and fair skin.

Her appearance was ranked among the top three in the entire Myriad Stars City.

She walked briskly to the front of the burnt-out shop.

“Investigate thoroughly, we must find out the cause of the fire!”

At her command, everyone entered the shop.

Following them, she too walked inside.

The first thing she did was approach the counter and saw the charred corpse.

However, the body was almost a pile of charcoal and was no longer recognizable as human.

“This fire was definitely not an ordinary blaze; it wouldn’t have resulted in this state otherwise.”

She furrowed her brows, closely observing the heap of charcoal.

She dared not touch it, knowing that even a slight touch would cause the charcoal to instantly fall apart.

Suddenly, she noticed something and stared at the neck area for a long time.

“Stabbed by a sword…”

She pondered, then suddenly stood up.

“This fire was definitely set deliberately by someone.”

“Sister Meng, is that possible?

Who would have the audacity to set fire to our Lu family’s property?”

Lu Meng thought for a moment, paced back and forth for a while, “Perhaps…

the Dongfang family’s people?”

“That’s unlikely.

Just considering the power they hold in Myriad Stars City, they are inferior to ours, and they definitely wouldn’t dare to offend us now.”

“Then who else could it be?

You tell me.”

The person was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

After a while, he suddenly thought of something and quickly said, “Sister Meng, do you think it’s possible that _he_ has come to Myriad Stars City?”

“You mean…

the bastard born from that family traitor?

He has come to Myriad Stars City?”

“Exactly.

If it was him, he would definitely act ruthlessly against us!”

Lu Meng laughed coldly, “I hope it is him; then we could personally deal with the traitor!”
