737: Chapter 697: Lu Yan’s Tragic Death_1 737: Chapter 697: Lu Yan’s Tragic Death_1 At the entrance of the auction, everyone stopped their discussions, and all eyes turned to Lu Chuan simultaneously.

When they saw the figure of Lu Chuan, they couldn’t help but shudder.

Had he actually walked out unscathed?

Had the Lu family not given him any trouble?

Within the crowd, Qin Xiong saw Lu Chuan’s figure and immediately scratched his head in curiosity.

Qin Shuang and Qin Yue also widened their eyes, looking at Lu Chuan in surprise.

After Lu Chuan walked out, Qin Xiong quickly approached him.

“Young Master Lu, what…

what has happened here?

What just happened inside?”

Qin Xiong asked, filled with immense curiosity.

Lu Chuan simply smiled faintly.

“What do you think should have happened?”

“I walked out completely unharmed, shouldn’t you know the outcome already?”

Qin Xiong couldn’t help but take two steps back, looking at Lu Chuan incredulously, “But that was Lu Yan!

A Martial Emperor powerful expert.”

“One of the top experts of the Lu Manor, is he not your opponent?”

Hearing this, the others around them immediately tensed up.

In their eyes, Lu Yan was absolutely a top-level expert, an unattainable existence they could only look up to.

In the entire Myriad Stars City, among the top ten families, basically all have powerful experts in the Martial Emperor Realm.

But this Lu Yan was different; he was a Martial Emperor powerful expert from the Lu Manor.

Whether it was martial arts prowess or all aspects of combat experience, he was one of the most top-tier existences in Myriad Stars City.

If someone could so easily kill Lu Yan, then that person’s strength, it is to be feared, would exceed the imagination of them all.

After all, even as the Manor Master of the Lu Manor, Lu Wansheng, couldn’t easily kill Lu Yan.

Lu Wansheng could almost be said to be the top-tier powerhouse in Myriad Stars City.

For a moment, when people looked at Lu Chuan, they all couldn’t help but feel tense.

Lu Chuan looked at Qin Xiong and said with an indifferent expression, “Patriarch Qin, you can go inside and see for yourself what exactly has happened there.”

“The Lu Yan you speak of, is nothing more than this.”

Having said that, Lu Chuan passed through the crowd and walked in the direction of the Dongfang Residence.

Watching Lu Chuan’s retreating back, everyone had lingering fears.

Qin Shuang came up to Qin Xiong and cautiously asked, “Dad, shouldn’t we go?

I feel this place is a land of disputes and we shouldn’t stay long.”

Qin Xiong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“If Lu Yan died here, at the hands of that man, then there is no doubt, the Lu Manor will not have any more scruples and will directly declare war against the Dongfang family.

Then, our entire Myriad Stars City will not be at peace!”

The worries of Qin Xiong were also the concerns of everyone else.

They were all in business and naturally did not wish for strife and fighting everywhere, as it would affect their earnings.

Qin Yue tugged at Qin Xiong’s sleeve and said, “Dad, let’s go, so the Lu family doesn’t take their anger out on us.”

Qin Xiong didn’t respond, but instead turned his head to look at the entrance of the auction.

“Everyone, let’s go in together and see for ourselves!”

“To see exactly what the result is!”

Under Qin Xiong’s lead, everyone slowly walked towards the auction entrance.

Passing through the doors, they returned to the auction hall.

Gazing across the rows of seats, their eyes settled on the auction platform.

The body of Lu Yan shockingly appeared before them.

However, the Lu Yan lying on the ground had been charred black, his entire body having turned utterly pitch-black.

Qin Xiong gasped in astonishment and hurriedly asked, “Is…

is that Lu Yan?”

The people of the Lu family standing around the corpse didn’t dare take half a step forward, fearing they might still catch fire.

Behind Qin Xiong, the rest of the crowd had their eyes wide open.

“Lu Yan is really dead?”

“A Martial Emperor powerful expert actually perished here—on the Lu family’s own turf!”

“Whoever dares make such an audacious move on the Lu family’s ground is probably that person!”

“Yes, it’s the person who set fire to the Lu Manor’s shop a couple of days ago, it must be related to him!”

“This guy is too bold, is he really planning to take on the entire Lu family by himself?”

Qin Xiong laughed bitterly, “He’s not alone, he has the Dongfang family backing him.

Although we don’t know how long they’ve been in cahoots, it’s clear they’re out to end the Lu family.”

Hearing this, everyone understood.

“It seems that the upcoming days in Myriad Stars City won’t be peaceful.”

All of them sighed, knowing that Myriad Stars City was about to witness a storm of blood and violence.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan had returned to the Dongfang Residence.

Just as he entered the courtyard, he saw Dongfang Cheng seriously conversing with several people.

“I want you to report every single move of the Lu family to me in timely manner, do you understand?”

“Understood!”

After the people dispersed, Lu Chuan approached.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan, Dongfang Cheng immediately showed a brilliant smile and greeted him.

“Young Master Lu, how did it go?

Was everything smooth?”

“Indeed, it went very smoothly.

I got what I wanted, and, Lu Yan is dead.”

Dongfang Cheng’s eyes widened for a moment, “Lu Yan is dead?

Did he die at your hand?”

“Yes.”

“Hahaha!

That’s fantastic news!”

“Young Master Lu truly is unparalleled in bravery, venturing alone into Lu Manor’s domain and even killing a Martial Emperor Realm expert.

Such an audacious act is not something an ordinary person can accomplish!”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan with immense excitement.

“Having you on our side is truly a stroke of great fortune for our Dongfang family!”

Dongfang Cheng felt immensely pleased, believing that their Dongfang family would eventually bring down the Lu family.

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Mutual assistance.”

“I want to see that Lu Meng, to check on her current state.”

Lu Chuan walked towards the dark cell.

Dongfang Cheng was intensely thrilled and quickly summoned people in the residence for a meeting.

On the other hand, Lu Chuan headed into the dark cell.

Lu Meng lay in bed, having not touched the food that had been brought to her.

Lu Chuan approached, standing before her.

“I attended the auction today again.”

Lu Meng glanced up at Lu Chuan.

“Is that so?

Well, don’t tell me you’re lying, how could you be here talking to me so casually if you really went?”

“The people of Lu Manor know you’ve abducted me, they surely won’t spare you.

If you’re smart, you wouldn’t have gone there.”

Lu Chuan laughed disdainfully, “Unfortunately for you, I did go there.

Not only did I go, but I also got what I wanted.”

Lu Meng scrutinized Lu Chuan, noticing he was uninjured, and suddenly let out a cold laugh.

“Do you take me for a fool?”

“Your Lu Manor deliberately made those materials available precisely to lure me there.

But since what I wanted stood right before my eyes, even if it was a trap, I was willing to take the risk.”

“Heh, cut the nonsense, you didn’t dare go.

You’re talking so frivolously, trying to fool me?

You still have much to learn.”
