Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 765 - 765 725

765: 725 765: 725 Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan with amazement, “That mass burial mound is no good place.

It’s said to be haunted.”

“Those aren’t ghosts, but evil entities.”

“Is there much of a difference?

Either way, they’re harmful creatures.

I advise you best not go there.”

Dongfang Cheng tried to persuade him.

Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, “I’ve traveled so far just to go to that mass burial mound.

If you tell me it’s best not to go, then what’s the point of my coming here?”

“You…

you’re not here to exterminate the mountain bandits?”

“Why would I bother with them if I’ve got nothing else to do?

It’s just that if I have to delve into Heavenly Yin Mountain, I can hardly avoid running into them.”

“That’s why I went to inform Lu Manor, but who would’ve thought, those bastards all acted like fools, not a single one would admit it.”

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly.

“Are you determined to go inside?

Better not…”

Dongfang Cheng advised him again.

“If I don’t go, wouldn’t that be a wasted trip?”

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng and asked, “You’re not scared, are you?”

Dongfang Cheng quickly shook his head, “How could that be?

I’m not scared.

It’s mainly for safety’s sake.

We’re helpless against those evil entities, without a single countermeasure.

If we follow you in, I’m afraid we won’t be able to ensure our own safety.”

Lu Chuan patted Dongfang Cheng on the shoulder and said, “In that case, you all should stay here.

I’ll go in alone.”

“I came here with only one goal, and that is to eradicate the evil entities, the evil spirits.”

“These evil spirits harm the world, and by getting rid of them, I’m also doing a good deed.

Moreover, by slaying evil spirits, I can enhance my own strength.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan with curiosity, “How do you plan to deal with the evil spirits?

Using the wonderful flame in your body?”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “Of course not, but with this precious sword.”

Lu Chuan drew the Soul Terminating Sword from behind.

Dongfang Cheng hastily examined the precious sword in Lu Chuan’s hand, and upon seeing the string of mysterious runes difficult to comprehend on the blade, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “This sword is quite extraordinary.”

“This is the Soul Terminating Sword, capable of attacking the Divine Soul of the enemy, and it’s especially effective against evil spirits.”

“Not only that, the blade can also absorb soul fragments and store them for future battles.”

Lu Chuan sheathed the Soul Terminating Sword back into its scabbard.

“Since it’s inconvenient for you to go in, I’ll just head into the mountain alone.”

“If you’re alone, could there be accidents?”

Lu Chuan smiled, “Lu Wu couldn’t even create an accident, are you still worried about those mountain bandits?”

“That’s true, but it’s a pity we can’t accompany you in.

We have no means against the evil spirits; encountering them would be disastrous.

It’s truly regrettable.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand nonchalantly, “It’s fine.

Just take good care of yourselves here; I’ll be back before long.”

Having said that, Lu Chuan followed the mountain path and began to delve deeper into the mountains.

After entering Heavenly Yin Mountain, the light around became much dimmer, and a cool, bleak sensation swept over him, putting Lu Chuan on alert.

He hadn’t walked along the mountain path for long before he saw an old man descending the mountain with freshly chopped firewood on his back.

“Grandpa, I’d like to ask about something.”

The old man stopped in his tracks and sized up Lu Chuan.

Seeing that Lu Chuan was gentle in demeanor and polite in attitude, he knew he wasn’t a bad person.

“Young man, what do you want to ask?”

“I want to know, to get to the mass burial mound inside Heavenly Yin Mountain, should I just keep going in this direction?”

Lu Chuan pointed ahead in the direction.

The old man nodded repeatedly, “Yes, just keep going in this direction.

However, I must warn you to be careful not to venture too deeply; beware of the mountain bandits.”

“Last year, my granddaughter carelessly ran up the mountain to play and unfortunately ran into those beasts; she was taken away…”

With that, he sighed, “Anyway, take care of yourself.

If you encounter those beasts, turn around and run immediately!”

Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, “If I don’t venture deeper, how can I reach the mass burial mound?”

The old man looked at Lu Chuan with a puzzled face, then helplessly shook his head and continued down the mountain.

It seemed like he thought that Lu Chuan was talking nonsense.

Why would a normal person go to the mass burial mound?

Lu Chuan pressed on, but with the old man’s warning, he became much more cautious while walking the mountain paths.

As he advanced further along the mountain road, suddenly, Lu Chuan heard a moaning sound.

“Ouch…

ouch…”

Following the sound, Lu Chuan was startled to see a man in grey cloth sitting on the ground with a thick tree trunk smashed onto his leg in the forest.

“Is anyone there?

Help me!”

He continued to groan…

Lu Chuan walked over and asked, “What happened?”

The man looked up at Lu Chuan as if he had seen a lifesaver and wanted to grab onto him immediately.

“Young brother, do me a favor and lift this log off me!”

“I came up the mountain to chop wood, and by accident, a tree trunk fell on me.

My leg is broken, and I can’t move.

If you don’t save me, I’m doomed!”

He said with panic, seemingly very afraid.

Lu Chuan slightly frowned, finding it strange.

How dumb could one be to get smashed by a tree while chopping it?

Even though he found it strange, Lu Chuan still approached.

If he were to go deep into Heavenly Yin Mountain, sooner or later he would encounter bandits.

If he was going to have a fight with them eventually, then meeting them sooner rather than later wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Dealing with trouble now would make the road ahead easier.

Lu Chuan stepped forward and effortlessly lifted the log, placing it aside.

“All right, can you stand up now?”

The man eagerly stood up, grabbed Lu Chuan’s wrists with both hands, and excitedly thanked him, “Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help, you are such a good person!”

He said excitedly.

“Stay still, don’t move, I’ll go get all the silver in my bag and give it to you!”

With that, he turned his head and walked away.

“Don’t move, I’ll bring the money right now; I must repay you for saving my life!”

Tss~

Suddenly, Lu Chuan’s eyebrows twitched; he heard the sound of a rope being cut.

Whoosh!!

The next moment, he felt a tremor under his feet as a large iron net swooped up from below, intending to envelop him.

In that instant, Lu Chuan clenched his teeth and hurriedly activated the Supreme Phantom Dodge skill, trying to escape the trap’s clutches!

However, the next moment, the iron net wrapped around Lu Chuan, hanging him up on a tree trunk.

The woodsman who was just hit looked back at Lu Chuan and let out an insolent laugh.

“Hahaha!

You fell for it.

You’re unlucky to fall into our hands today!”

“Boys, come all out.

The prey has been caught; now we can report back to Lu Manor!”

Whoosh!

Instantly, thirty or forty people sprang out, filling the once empty forest.

Lu Chuan was trapped in the net, and looking down at the woodsman, he said with a cold smile, “You might think I lack vigilance…”

“Nonsense, you obviously lack vigilance.

Do I even need to think that?

Compared to us in terms of brains, you have a long way to go!”

Lu Chuan continued to speak with a smile: “A true strong person does not need to be vigilant of the actions of the weak.”

“Just as you, as a person, would you be vigilant of a trap set up by an ant?”
