Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 748 - 748 708 Siege_1

748: Chapter 708 Siege_1 748: Chapter 708 Siege_1 In the courtyard, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang were practicing with the weapons they had acquired through stealth training.

Gu Xiaorou had already mastered the use of her weapon to perfection, except when it came to setting traps, where she was somewhat lacking.

However, with the rare book in hand, and the ability to seek advice from Ahn Xuwu, her rate of improvement was still very fast.

Lu Chuan watched the two practice their weapons, and after an unknowable amount of time, he saw the figure of Dongfang Cheng walk in.

Dongfang Cheng approached Lu Chuan, his expression rather grave, clearly indicating he had some new news to share.

“Young Master Dongfang, if there’s something on your mind, just say it.”

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng.

“Young Master Lu, those families allied with the Lu family have made their move.”

“All the blacksmith shops, inns, and restaurants near Dongfang Residence have closed down.”

“Following that, people saw members from those great families taking up positions there as if they are waiting for something.”

“They’re setting up a siege to encircle us; it’s clear they’re planning to trap us.”

“I bet as soon as the Lu family gives the order, they’ll start the siege!”

Dongfang Cheng spoke with deep concern.

Now, whenever there was any news, he would always consult with Lu Chuan first.

In the Kunlun Domain, whoever possessed strength had the right to speak.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chuan asked, “Are we surrounded on every side?”

“Basically, it’s airtight.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “It seems they want me to pay them a visit.”

“Ah, are you going to take action against them?”

Dongfang Cheng was somewhat surprised; Lu Chuan’s decisiveness was too strong, ready to fight without any further discussion.

“Wouldn’t it be unwise to go and attack directly without preparation?”

Dongfang Cheng asked cautiously.

“There’s nothing unwise about it.

All this so-called strategy is entirely unnecessary.

When strength completely overwhelms the enemy, all these considerations become secondary.

Right now, I just want to end the fight in the most swift and decisive way possible.”

Lu Chuan had a clear goal; if he could directly defeat the enemy, there was no need to waste much time.

Lu Chuan turned to Gu Xiaorou and said, “You and Xiaosang stay here, and if possible, set up some traps to prevent anyone from sneaking an attack on you.”

Dongfang Cheng quickly said, “Don’t worry about that; the Dongfang family will use all its martial power to protect them.”

“Good, then I’ll go out for a bit and burn all these fence-sitters down.

After that, it’ll just be us and the Lu Manor left.”

“Young Master Lu, can you handle that rascal Lu Wu?”

Dongfang Cheng asked nervously.

“We can handle him.

We don’t need to flee.

In a head-on fight, we might not lose.”

Lu Chuan was now utterly confident.

With the strength of the Spirit Splitting Realm, coupled with the two Divine Fires within him, he no longer feared any beginner Martial Saint Realm warrior.

Perhaps only a warrior of the Martial Saint Realm Grade 3 or above had the power to kill Lu Chuan.

Lu Wu, who had only recently broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, was definitely no match for Lu Chuan.

The two were fully capable of fighting it out.

Lu Chuan walked toward the main gate and at the doorway, he encountered Ahn Xuwu.

He stood at the entrance, gazing outside with a worried face.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan, he quickly approached, “Young Master Lu, the situation doesn’t look very good.”

“You focus on training with your disciples.

Don’t worry about those things; it’s not your concern.”

Ahn Xuwu nodded slightly, “I understand.”

“Right, when you have time, teach Gu Xiaorou more about trap-setting; it’s important,” Lu Chuan added.

Ahn Xuwu hastened to nod, “No problem, I’ll teach her how to set up traps, so she can protect herself.”

“Great, then you don’t need to worry about the enemies outside; I’ll handle it.”

After finishing his words, Lu Chuan went out.

Ahn Xuwu watched Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, shaking his head and sighing to himself.

“Fortunately, back then, I didn’t take everyone from the Sky Martial Sect to settle the score with him.

I almost miscalculated.”

After Second Elder Guu Lie died, everyone at the Sky Martial Sect was enraged and wanted to take revenge on Lu Chuan.

Only Ahn Xuwu remained calm, and after some persuasion, other key figures in the sect also calmed down.

By making the decision we did today, we managed to keep the Sky Martial Sect alive.”

…

Lu Chuan stood in the middle of the street, which was desolate, with no one in sight.

As it was so quiet, something was obviously not right.

The area had clearly been cordoned off, and outsiders couldn’t get here.

Whatever was about to happen here, the rest of Myriad Stars City probably had no idea.

But based on the outcome, one could roughly guess what had happened.

Lu Chuan walked along the deserted streets, his gaze locked onto a restaurant ahead.

Logically speaking, as night approached, the restaurant should have been bustling.

Yet they had shut down for business directly.

But Lu Chuan knew that people from other families had already entered the restaurant, ready to follow Lu Manor’s orders and make a move against the Dongfang family at any moment.

If that was the case, then he might as well start here.

At this moment, inside the grand hall of the restaurant.

A dozen tables had been arranged together, clearing a vast space.

A group of people stood there, listening to Yang Ming’s speech.

He stood in front of the crowd, his eyes constantly scanning the group.

“You are all the most talented juniors of the Yang family, each of you strong enough to be in the Martial King Realm or higher.

Today is the time to test you.”

“In another 2 hours, Lu Manor will be fully ready and arrive here.

After that, we will form an encirclement and take down the Dongfang family.”

“Once the deed is done, there will certainly be no shortage of gold rewards for everyone.

Put in all your effort.

Don’t miss out on such a rare opportunity!”

Yang Ming moved back and forth, constantly brainwashing the crowd with his speech, letting them realize the importance of this battle.

“Family Head, I’ve heard that the Qin family was wiped out.

Is that true or false?”

“For the Dongfang family to obliterate the Qin Residence, that’s already their limit.

They are at the end of their strength, only capable of dragging down a weaker party.

Don’t worry.”

The person continued to ask, “But Family Head, I heard that it was one person, not the Dongfang family, who destroyed the Qin Residence.”

“It seems that person also has a vendetta against the Lu family.”

“What kind of person can annihilate an entire family alone?”

“I don’t know, but they must be terrifyingly strong.”

“If we encounter this guy, I’m afraid we’ll be like lambs to the slaughter.”

“Isn’t that obvious?

Could a person who annihilated the Qin family single-handedly be an ordinary person?”

Yang Ming, feeling impatient, shouted loudly, “Shut up, all of you!”

“We haven’t even started fighting, and you’re all scared!

Do you even deserve to be members of the Yang family?”

“So what if one person wiped out the Qin Residence?

Don’t you know Lu Wu’s strength?

We have the backing of Lu Wu, what is there to fear?

Just go all out and do it!”

“If you cannot stand against them, Lu Wu will naturally take over.

What’s there to fear!”

Yang Ming shouted, silencing everyone.

“Alright, everyone calm down.

Don’t be scared just because of one person.

When the fight starts, with dozens of you ganging up, are you still afraid of one person?”

Yang Ming continued to boost everyone’s morale.

At that moment, the figure of Lu Chuan entered the room.

“Young Master Yang sure has a fiery temper, doesn’t he?”

Lu Chuan walked slowly forward.

Whoosh!

All at once, everyone turned their heads, looking in Lu Chuan’s direction.

“Lu Chuan!” Yang Ming pointed at Lu Chuan and exclaimed!
