Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 758 - 758 718 The End of the Battle_1

758: Chapter 718: The End of the Battle_1 758: Chapter 718: The End of the Battle_1 With Lu Wu dead, everyone around lost their morale, like deflated balloons, standing in shock, not knowing what to do.

If Lu Wu were still alive, he could have rallied them with a cry, leading this group to launch a collective attack.

But now that Lu Wu was dead, they had lost their pillar, and the Deputy General before them was far weaker than Lu Wu.

If he dared to shout now, Lu Chuan could cripple him in an instant.

The Deputy General stood frozen, looking around, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Lu Chuan watched him and continued to ask, “What, do you plan to keep fighting?”

“Get lost, and if you dare plot against me again, I’ll destroy your Lu Manor!”

Lu Chuan snapped.

He didn’t want to start an all-out fight now, as the other side still held the numerical advantage.

Even if he could win, it would come at a cost.

Besides, in the chaos of battle, if any accident happened, he wouldn’t be able to cover all his bases.

The Deputy General clenched his teeth, looking quite unwilling.

He glanced at Lu Wu’s body and felt an endless regret.

He walked over to Lu Wu’s corpse, draping an arm over his shoulder, and began to help the body prepare to leave the area.

“Brothers, let’s go back.

As long as the green hills remain, we won’t worry about firewood.”

He said, then took the lead in leaving the place.

Given that the Deputy General had capitulated, among the remaining people, even if someone was itching to make a move, they no longer had the guts to act first.

They all followed behind the Deputy General, leaving the place together.

Then there were the people from the several large families, who all stood around nervously, the atmosphere becoming quite awkward for a while.

They had decisively joined the Lu family camp because they were sure that the Dongfang Residence would be annihilated at the hands of the Lu family.

The overwhelming strength of Lu Wu had made them think that Dongfang Residence had no means of resistance.

However, they knew nothing about Lu Chuan, and certainly couldn’t have predicted this outcome.

The leaders of the large families hurriedly approached, all wearing awkward, apologetic smiles.

“Young Master Lu, your performance today has truly been an eye-opener for us.

We were foolish and didn’t recognize Tai Shan.

We are truly ashamed.”

“Young Master Lu, Lu Wu was the favored child of heaven, the Martial Path prodigy that everyone looked up to.

Yet, your powerful defeat of your opponent shows that you are the most talented genius in the Kunlun Domain!”

“Young Master Dongfang, please forgive our choice of sides.

The Lu family forced us; we had no choice but to do this!”

Dongfang Cheng just snorted coldly, well aware of the character of these people.

There was never any coercion; they had voluntarily approached the Lu family and requested to join the ranks of the Lu family.

And the purpose was that, after the Lu family destroyed the Dongfang family, they could get involved and get a piece of the action.

Such thoughts were not unknown to the people of the Dongfang family, so naturally, they wouldn’t take these others’ words seriously.

Dongfang Cheng waved his sleeve and turned to leave the place.

His cold demeanor made everyone else’s faces look even worse.

Then, Dongfang Xun, facing everyone, said cheerfully, “Everyone please go back.

We’re still business partners in the future.

We’ll cooperate when necessary, and carry on as usual.

Let’s pretend today’s incident never happened.”

After Dongfang Xun spoke a few words of goodwill, the people finally began to disperse.

Before they left, they all took a glance at Lu Chuan’s figure.

Since the battle just now, none of them dared to look down on Lu Chuan anymore.

Someone who could kill Lu Wu was definitely the number one powerhouse in Myriad Stars City.

And yet such a powerful figure was actually a cooperative friend of the Dongfang Residence, it seemed that they had all misjudged the situation in Myriad Stars City.

The truly powerful party was the Dongfang family, not the Lu family at all.

Lu Chuan turned and walked towards the Dongfang Residence.

Dongfang Xun hurried to Lu Chuan’s side with an embarrassed smile and said, “Young Master Lu, your skills just now were truly astonishing, they left me amazed.”

“I didn’t expect that Lu Wu would be no match for you at all.

When he came earlier, he gave me quite a sense of pressure.”

“Fortunately, the trouble has been resolved, and everything is back to normal.”

Dongfang Xun continued to lament, “The Lu Manor surely won’t let things rest, the struggle is not over yet.”

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Xun and asked, “Those people were planning to devour you, aren’t you angry?

I saw Dongfang Cheng was extremely upset.”

“What can be done about it?

Wipe them all out?

That’s not easy to handle.

We can only continue to cooperate with them and try to reap more benefits from them.”

“Thanks to you, the Dongfang Residence is now unquestionably the number one family in Myriad Stars City.

When we cooperate with other families in the future, we will definitely be the ones to benefit more.”

Dongfang Xun said cheerfully.

After the two returned to the courtyard, Dongfang Cheng approached Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, thank you very much for your help, for saving our Dongfang family from a desperate situation!”

“We were almost wiped off the map in Myriad Stars City, all thanks to you.”

“No wonder you had the confidence to choose to confront them, it seems you have sufficient confidence to back it up.”

Dongfang Cheng smiled as he approached, his face full of adoring smiles.

“It seems that my initial decision to win you over as a friend of the Dongfang family was indeed a wise one!”

He had heard of Lu Chuan’s reputation early on and wanted to win over a powerful figure, but he had never imagined that the strength Lu Chuan displayed would exceed his expectations.

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng and asked, “Where are Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang, are they safe?”

Dongfang Cheng hurriedly nodded, “Of course they’re safe.

We can certainly guarantee that, and no one will be able to harm them!”

Dongfang Cheng hurriedly assured Lu Chuan, knowing that if they couldn’t even ensure this much, they would have no right to be allies with Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I need to visit the Yang Family Residence later.”

Lu Chuan said, as he walked towards the guest house courtyard.

Dongfang Cheng curiously asked while following alongside, “What are you going to the Yang Family Residence for?”

“They have a material I need, the Myriad Spirits Herb.”

“Once I get this last material, I will be able to unseal my precious sword and unleash its true strength!”

Dongfang Cheng hurriedly nodded, “I see, it seems this is indeed a pressing matter.”

As they approached the door, ready to move forward, something tripped Lu Chuan’s feet.

Looking down, it turned out to be a thread as transparent as silk.

Lu Chuan crouched down, snapped the silk wire, and then quickly stepped inside.

In the courtyard, Gu Xiaorou stood up and walked towards Lu Chuan when she saw him coming in.

“Lu Chuan, how is the situation?

Has the enemy attacked?”

Gu Xiaorou quickly asked, then looked over Lu Chuan, “You seem to be injured on your lower abdomen.”

Lu Chuan smiled indifferently, “It’s just a minor injury.

I’ve already killed Lu Wu.

From now on, there’s no longer any power in Myriad Stars City that can threaten us.”
