Chapter 779 - 779 739 Questioning _1

779: Chapter 739: Questioning _1 779: Chapter 739: Questioning _1 Lu Wansheng hurried towards Lu Chuan, fearful of showing the slightest delay.

He arrived in front of Lu Chuan, bent down with utmost respect, and looked up at him.

“Young Master Lu, what brings you to us this time?”

Lu Chuan stared at him, his voice cold as he spoke, “You should know why I’m looking for you, what I came for last time, don’t you have a clear idea in your heart?”

“Now that I have come here alive, you should know exactly what has happened, right?”

Lu Wansheng lowered his head, so nervous he didn’t know what to say.

He sighed helplessly, “It seems there’s no need for any other idle talk.”

“Young Master Lu, I can tell you the truth, after you left, we did send someone to inform the mountain bandits on the mountain to watch for your whereabouts.”

“They pledged to me, swearing that they could eliminate you without stirring any notice.”

“Young Master Lu, I’ve said this now, there’s no need to cover anything else up, we both clearly understand that in our hearts.”

“But, I must beg you, there are so many people under the Lu Manor, all innocent, not involved in decision-making, just living in the manor handling sundries.”

He looked at Lu Chuan with a pleading gaze, hoping Lu Chuan would show mercy.

After he said this, everyone from the Lu family around them was extremely nervous.

With these words out in the open, it was almost confirmed that the Lu family might be doomed.

They were absolutely no match for Lu Chuan right now, the branch of Lu Residence in Myriad Stars City might be destroyed here.

They would have difficulty waiting for support from the Lu Family Main Residence, only able to beg Lu Chuan to show mercy.

Now, Lu Chuan faced the Lu Manor of Myriad Stars City with an absolute overwhelming advantage.

The Lu Manor was like a lamb to the slaughter, Lu Chuan could annihilate them all whenever he wished.

The only advantage the Lu Manor had over Lu Chuan was in numbers, but with the support and help of the Dongfang family, this advantage was completely nullified.

Lu Chuan looked at everyone before him and said, “I have already annihilated the mountain bandits, all of their leaders are dead, the rest scattered like monkeys without a tree.”

“I came to find you today mainly to ask you some things.”

Lu Wansheng’s eyes lit up, he hurriedly said, “No problem, ask whatever you want, but I must make clear, about our Lu family’s situation, I cannot tell you.”

“How about this, let’s find a place to talk alone, how does that sound?”

Lu Chuan shook his head in refusal.

“There’s no need, let’s talk here.”

“A long time ago at Heavenly Yin Mountain, a troop known as the Shadow Kill Army perished there.”

“Some of them, with intense lingering thoughts, turned into evil spirits and remained in this world.”

“Now, they want to make use of possession by evil spirits to create puppets, and they even wish to revive themselves.”

“I want to know, how much do you know about this matter?”

The rest of the Lu family members all looked on curiously, as they knew little and felt curious about the matters concerning Heavenly Yin Mountain.

Lu Wansheng rubbed his forehead helplessly, “Sorry, I don’t know much.”

“Then I’ll ask, why do many in your Lu Residence have evil spirits dwelling within them, and whenever they are at their last straw, they draw on the power of the evil spirits to power through?”

Lu Chuan’s pressing questions immediately made Lu Wansheng panic.

His eyes darted around, and he unconsciously stepped back, nervously swallowing his saliva.

“This…

I don’t know, don’t ask me!”

He said hastily.

Lu Chuan saw through him immediately, grabbed his arm urgently, and continued to interrogate, “You surely know something, if you do not speak, I will bring you back to the Dongfang Residence and assign someone to torture you until you talk!”

“What about it?

Do you want to try?”

Lu Wansheng fell to his knees with a thud, “Young Master Lu, although I don’t know much, the situation here is absolutely not something I can disclose!”

“Is the Lu family colluding with an evil entity?”

Lu Chuan asked in a cold voice.

He fell silent for a moment then nodded his head.

“Some people in the Lu family have evil spirits within them, and some do not, does this mean that not everyone in the Lu Manor supports collaborating with the evil entities?”

“That’s also true, but beyond that, I don’t know anymore.”

“Young Master Lu, you should not ask me about these matters.

If you wish to know, you should go to the Lu Family Main Residence.

There, you will naturally find what you wish to know.”

“Then let me ask you this, my father was wrongfully accused and exiled from the Lu family, does it have anything to do with this matter?”

“Your father, Lu Cangsheng…

he…

might have some connection, I suppose.

I’m not from the main residence, so I don’t know much about many things.

You’ll need to go there yourself to investigate.”

“Lu Chuan, I believe you have the capability, you can do it.”

Lu Wansheng stood up, grabbed Lu Chuan’s arms with both hands, and pleaded, “At least for now, can you let us off?

We absolutely won’t trouble you anymore or create any obstacles; if you need anything, you can just come to us, we will help you.”

Lu Chuan sighed, “Forget it, I can’t be bothered to deal with you all, I’m leaving.”

Then, Lu Chuan walked out of the courtyard, heading towards the main gate, intending to leave the Lu Manor.

Lu Wansheng watched Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, sighed in relief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Thank goodness, this guy isn’t too violent; otherwise, we would have been dead today.”

“Such a hard-won opportunity, it would be too much of a loss to die now!”

Lu Wansheng turned to the rest, saying, “Disperse, keep to yourselves, and don’t talk carelessly.”

“As the Family Head commands…”

…

When Lu Chuan arrived outside the Lu Manor, several servants from the Dongfang family quickly gathered around him.

“Young Master Lu, how is the situation?

Is there anything else we need to do for you?”

Lu Chuan looked at the few people before him and said, “You all just stay here, monitor everyone coming in and out, and report immediately if anything unusual happens.”

“No problem, we will do our utmost to carry out the tasks you assign to us!”

Several servants bowed with their fists clasped towards Lu Chuan.

“You, come with me.”

Lu Chuan called one of them over to follow him.

The servant was puzzled but still followed Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan walked towards a nearby alley.

Once deep inside the alley, he said to the servant, “Chase away all the children playing around here.”

“Yes!”

Although he didn’t understand what Lu Chuan intended to do, he did as told.

He approached several children playing hide and seek and sternly chased them all away.

Once the space was cleared, Lu Chuan walked in, found a clean piece of ground, and sat down cross-legged.

“Guard the surroundings; I need to meditate for a while.”

The attendant, scratching his head in confusion, chose nonetheless to comply.

After Lu Chuan sat down cross-legged, he began to close his eyes and nurture his spirit.

Suddenly, his Divine Soul separated from his body, slowly drifting away and floating in the air.

The Divine Soul passed through the wall and drifted towards the interior of the Lu Manor.
