Chapter 776 - 776 736 The Death of Zhao Kanglong_1

776: Chapter 736: The Death of Zhao Kanglong_1 776: Chapter 736: The Death of Zhao Kanglong_1 Lu Chuan and his companions rode back to Myriad Stars City on horseback, and on the way, City Lord Zhao Huangqian revealed an expression full of anticipation.

“I haven’t seen my son for three years, and I don’t know what he’s like now.

I really want to hurry back and see him.”

He sighed.

Lu Chuan looked at him and said, “When I found him, he was possessed by an evil spirit and could no longer control his own body.”

“I first exterminated the evil spirit within him, and fortunately, he survived.

His fate lingers, so maybe his life was not meant to end yet.”

Zhao Huangqian nodded slightly, “My son’s life was not meant to end, but I really have to thank you for your help.

Otherwise, my son might not have survived.”

“Those sly and treacherous evil spirits, in order to resurrect, will stop at nothing and use any possible means.

We must be more vigilant against them from now on,” Dongfang Cheng added.

Zhao Huangqian scanned his surroundings, looking to see if he could find the Shadow Cult Leader’s figure.

“If that guy isn’t here, where else could he go?”

“With the vast expanse of the Kunlun Domain, trying to find one person is like searching for a needle in a haystack, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to find this guy.”

Zhao Huangqian sighed.

Lu Chuan shook his head, “No, that guy isn’t a coward.

I’ve killed so many of his evil spirits, all of whom were his subordinates.

If he were a normal person, he would be consumed with rage by now, and he would definitely seek revenge.

So as long as I stay in Myriad Stars City, he will definitely remain nearby.”

Zhao Huangqian looked at Lu Chuan and nodded, “That makes sense, no wonder you’re determined to eradicate them all.

This guy has always been looking for opportunities in the dark, and it’s quite a headache.”

He sized up Lu Chuan and said, “I’m really surprised that Lu Wu would die at your hands.”

“What’s so surprising about that?

Do you think I shouldn’t have this strength?”

Lu Chuan asked with a smile.

“The main reason is that Lu Wu’s strength was too formidable, and he was battle-hardened on the battlefield, equipped with top-tier gear provided by Lu Manor.”

“Not to mention the realm of Martial Saint that he attained, just his own abilities alone were enough to stand out among his peers.”

“When I heard the news of Lu Wu’s death, I thought he had offended some old general or alerted a recluse expert.”

“But to my utter surprise, the one who killed Lu Wu turned out to be so young and handsome.

It’s really surprising.”

His gaze towards Lu Chuan was full of respect, not daring to show any disrespect.

Lu Chuan chuckled nonchalantly and said, “Lu Wu indeed had great strength and was the toughest opponent I’ve faced.”

“It’s a pity, who let him be from the Lu family?

As he was from the Lu family, naturally, I wouldn’t hold back at all.”

Zhao Huangqian looked at Lu Chuan curiously and furrowed his brows, “Young Master Lu, you also share the Lu surname, why do you have such deep-seated hatred for the Lu family?

Such intense enmity is really rare.”

Lu Chuan offered a faint smile, “You’d be better off not asking about that.

Knowing it won’t do you any good.

Just know that my enmity with the Lu family is a fight to the death.”

“Unless one day I overthrow the Lu family and become the Family Head!”

Zhao Huangqian nodded slightly, prudently closing his mouth.

“I look forward to seeing that day.”

Soon, the three men arrived at the city gate.

As they passed through, the guards on both sides bent over and called out to Zhao Huangqian with respect, “Welcome back to the city, Honorable City Lord!”

The eyes of the surrounding people immediately turned towards them, all gazing at Zhao Huangqian with envy.

Being the center of attention was something he had encountered often, so he didn’t make much of it.

The three rode their horses into the city, heading towards Dongfang Residence along the streets.

“With so many people around, our actions today might cause quite a stir,” Zhao Huangqian said with a smile.

As the ruler of Myriad Stars City, wherever Zhao Huangqian went, countless eyes would be watching him closely.

His every action affected the hearts of numerous families.

Now, his intimacy with the Dongfang family sent a signal to all who saw it: within Myriad Stars City, the Lu Manor was completely down and out!

Quickly, they arrived at the entrance of Dongfang Residence.

At the entrance, they tethered their horses and the three of them entered the manor.

After entering, the caretaker hurriedly came to greet them, “Young Master Dongfang, you’ve returned.”

Dongfang Cheng stepped inside, looked at the caretaker, and said, “Take us to Zhao Kanglong’s residence.”

“No problem, please follow me.”

Only after passing through several courtyards did they arrive in front of a large house.

“This living environment is quite decent; it can hardly be considered a ‘tiny dark room’.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Zhao Huangqian with a smile and said.

“I know you wouldn’t mistreat my son, now let us go inside and have a look.”

Dongfang Cheng walked towards the main door.

Lu Chuan followed closely behind him, also heading over.

However, after walking a few steps, Lu Chuan’s brows suddenly furrowed, sensing something amiss.

From the sheath on his back, a subtle vibration transmitted, which Lu Chuan could clearly perceive.

Lu Chuan stopped in his tracks and drew the Soul Terminating Sword with his hand.

Indeed, the blade was slightly vibrating, and the mysterious runes swirling within emitted a faint glow.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan’s heart sank as he stared at the ancient manor before him.

“Hold on, there’s something off!”

Dongfang Cheng’s stride halted, and he turned to look at Lu Chuan, his expression instantly became serious, “Young Master Lu, what is wrong?”

“An evil spirit is nearby; I don’t know the exact location, but it’s definitely here!”

Dongfang Cheng frantically swept his gaze around, “Young Master Lu, please don’t scare me, there’s nothing around here.”

“If I could see that fellow’s figure, my sword would already be shaking violently.”

Lu Chuan gripped the sword hilt tightly, stopping the vibration of the Soul Terminating Sword.

Then, he looked at Zhao Huangqian, “Perhaps, it’s that one.”

“Dongfang Cheng, open the door.”

Zhao Huangqian’s heart sank, as he seemed to realize something was not right.

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly and pushed the door open as the three walked in.

Whoosh!!

The moment the door was opened, a pungent, foul smell assaulted their faces.

Dongfang Cheng couldn’t help but step back a few paces due to the stench, while Zhao Huangqian stood rooted to the spot, completely stunned.

The three of them saw at the center of the hall, Zhao Kanglong was sitting cross-legged, only his head had been chopped off and placed between his crossed legs.

Facing Zhao Huangqian, Zhao Kanglong’s severed head showed an expression of horror and despair, as if he had suffered brutal torment before his death.

Zhao Huangqian couldn’t help but step back a few paces, leaning against the door frame.

He stared at his son’s corpse, his eyes becoming hollow.

“Ahhhh!!!”

He roared in fury, the loud bellow echoing throughout the entire Dongfang Residence.

“Bastards!

Who is it!

Come out, I will tear you to pieces!”

He yelled angrily, shouting loudly at the surroundings.

Immediately, he rushed towards Zhao Kanglong’s corpse and tightly embraced the body.

Lu Chuan walked forward and noticed a piece of yellow paper on the ground.

He opened the yellow paper, which had a line of large characters written on it with glaring blood.
