744: Chapter 704 Tidying up the Fence-Sitters_1 744: Chapter 704 Tidying up the Fence-Sitters_1 Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan with worry, “We must escape from Myriad Stars City as soon as possible, otherwise, we’ll lose our chance.”

“This time, it’s not just the Lu family we’re up against; seeing their momentum, other families have joined their ranks as well!”

Lu Chuan, seeing the anxious expression on Gu Xiaorou’s face, revealed a calm smile.

“Leave the rest to me, I’ll handle everything.”

Gu Xiaorou stared at Lu Chuan, not understanding the meaning of his words.

“You’re going to handle all this?

Your power alone is definitely not enough.”

Suddenly, Gu Xiaorou began to size Lu Chuan up and down.

“Why are you soaking wet?

Did you just take a bath?”

“No, that’s not it!

A stench of sweat, you were just sweating?”

Gu Xiaorou leaned back, her face full of surprise as she looked at Lu Chuan.

She hadn’t expected that Lu Chuan was drenched because of sweat?

“I just broke through a bottleneck and advanced in realm.

I am now not what I was before.

My strength has skyrocketed by an entire major realm, and those of Martial Emperor Realm are no longer my match,” Lu Chuan said with confidence.

Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan, dumbfounded, “What did you just do to break through in such a short time?”

“I just took a risk, which is why I didn’t tell you.”

“I removed the Spirit Communication Twig and directly touched the Divine Tree branch to start absorbing Spiritual Energy.”

“The powerful Spiritual Energy can instantly shred a person’s body.”

“My physical body is strong, and with the constant healing of Nine Heavens Profound Fire, I toughed it out and kept absorbing Spiritual Energy, completing the breakthrough.”

Lu Chuan spoke casually, but Gu Xiaorou knew how painful the process must have been.

A Divine Tree branch could easily tear apart a normal person’s body.

Even a warrior of the Martial Emperor Realm couldn’t withstand it for more than a few seconds before their body would explode and they would perish.

But Lu Chuan had toughed it out, not only because of his robust constitution but also because of the blessing of Nine Heavens Profound Fire, this Divine Fire.

“So that’s how it is, but if you weren’t careful, you could have been seriously injured or even exploded and died, right?” Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan with a worried face.

“You’re right, but I could only take that risk once.

If I succeeded in breaking through, I would be strong enough to fight Lu Wu; if not, I would have fallen right there,” Lu Chuan said, patting Gu Xiaorou’s head with a smile.

“Now, we don’t need to run for our lives anymore.”

Gu Xiaorou threw herself into Lu Chuan’s embrace, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

“You can’t take such a risk again in the future!” Gu Xiaorou said loudly.

Lu Chuan nodded repeatedly, “Just this once, it won’t happen again.”

Gu Xiaorou looked up at Lu Chuan, “Are you going to find Lu Wu now?”

Lu Chuan sneered, “First I’ll take care of those fence-sitters and make them realize who is the stronger side!”

Saying this, Lu Chuan clenched his fists.

“Help me prepare a change of clothes; I’m going to the Qin Residence next!”

Gu Xiaorou quickly nodded and then ran towards the wardrobe.

At that moment, Gu Xiaosang walked over, “I heard everything you two were just talking about.

Brother Lu Chuan, you’re really bold to do such a thing.”

“I don’t do things I’m not sure of.

Although there was some risk, overall it was still under control,” replied Lu Chuan.

Gu Xiaosang said with an excited smile, “Now that you’ve made a breakthrough in strength, are you going to settle scores with those guys?”

“Of course.

Starting with the Qin family, I want this turncoat to pay the price,” Lu Chuan replied.

At that moment, Gu Xiaorou came over carrying a pure white robe.

Lu Chuan took off his clothes and changed into the new robe.

Dongfang Cheng’s figure hurried in, running swiftly toward Lu Chuan.

One could see that he was already packed and hastened toward Lu Chuan with an urgent look.

“Young Master Lu, Misses, we must hurry and leave, the situation is worsening by the moment.

If we don’t make a decisive move to leave now, I’m afraid we’ll lose the chance to escape!”

He spoke in utter panic.

Lu Chuan patted his shoulder, saying indifferently, “Don’t be so anxious, nothing is concluded yet.

It’s still not clear who should be the one running away.”

“Young Master Lu, now is not the time to be brave.

My third uncle said he would hold off the enemy here to buy us as much time as possible.

Once we reach our family’s headquarters, that’s when we will strike back!”

“As long as the green hills are there, we won’t worry about firewood!”

He looked at Lu Chuan with urgency in his eyes.

Lu Chuan’s expression remained unchanged as he gazed towards Dongfang City, saying, “First, calm down, don’t be so cowardly.

Next, I’ll make a trip to the Qin Residence, you wait here for me.”

Having said this, Lu Chuan headed towards the exit of the courtyard.

Dongfang Cheng watched Lu Chuan’s receding figure, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

“This… do we flee or not?

There’s no time!”

Gu Xiaorou turned to Dongfang Cheng, saying, “It’s not a matter of fleeing or not, it’s about whether to fight or not.

Lu Chuan has chosen to fight.”

“How can we fight now?

This is the time when the enemy is at their strongest.

What we should do is to avoid their sharp edge for now!”

He said, clearly agitated.

Gu Xiaorou shook her head slightly, “Trust in Lu Chuan, he now has the strength to break through the enemy’s encirclement.”

“What is he doing at the Qin family?”

Dongfang Cheng looked curiously at Gu Xiaorou.

“You’ll know what he is going to do, just wait for the news.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Cheng immediately understood Lu Chuan’s intent, “Is he going to settle scores with the Qin family?”

“Good, ‘the nail that sticks out gets hammered down’.

This guy betrayed us the fastest, if we can take care of them, maybe we can deter the people from the other families.”

…

At this moment, Lu Chuan had left the Dongfang Residence.

At the main entrance, there were increasingly more watchers.

They were all from the Lu family, disguised as civilians.

Seeing Lu Chuan, they all became alert, fearful that Lu Chuan might flee Myriad Stars City.

Lu Chuan walked along the main street toward the Qin family.

These watchers quietly followed behind, ready to intercept Lu Chuan without hesitation if they found him heading toward the city gate.

However, after following for a while, they gradually realized that the route Lu Chuan was taking didn’t lead to the city gate.

Instead, he continued forward within the center of the city.

Soon, Lu Chuan stopped, standing in front of the Qin Residence.

The Lu family’s watchers from a distance all became curious.

What was Lu Chuan’s purpose for visiting the Qin family?

Could it be to discuss cooperation?

Immediately after, Lu Chuan walked toward the main gate.

Two guards stopped Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, please leave.

Our Family Head will not see you,” one guard said.

The other guard smiled smugly, “You’ve missed your chance.

If you think you can discuss cooperation with our Qin family, you might as well go back and sleep on it; you might get it in your dreams.”

It seemed both men were keenly aware of the power shift in Myriad Stars City and knew that the Dongfang family was on the decline, marking Lu Chuan as a dead man.

Lu Chuan smiled faintly; he had not come to talk about cooperation.

He had come to kill.

Whoosh!!!

The next moment, Lu Chuan opened his eyes, his dark golden pupils fixed on the two men.

Hum!!!

The two guards suddenly felt a buzzing in their brains and immediately fell to the ground, incapacitated.
