782: Chapter 742: City Guards Deployed_1 782: Chapter 742: City Guards Deployed_1 Lu Chuan walked into the study and sat down at the invitation of Zhao Huangqian.

They sat opposite each other, Lu Chuan staring at Zhao Huangqian with a solemn expression.

“Young Master Lu, what brings you to me?”

He picked up the teapot and poured Lu Chuan a cup of tea.

Lu Chuan took a sip from the teacup and said, “I’ve found the murderer who killed your son.”

Zhao Huangqian’s eyes widened slightly in surprise as he looked at Lu Chuan, “You’ve found him?”

“Who is it?

Where is he now?

I’ll take my men to find him!”

Zhao Huangqian said somewhat anxiously.

Lu Chuan sighed and then slowly began to explain.

“The annihilated army is called the Shadow Kill Army, and the leading general is Li Xunying.”

“He has now colluded with the Lu Manor and escaped from Myriad Stars City with them.

They are probably prepared to begin retaliating against us.”

Zhao Huangqian slammed his hand on the table, the immense force almost cracking it.

He shouted in anger, “This bastard dares to seek revenge against me, I haven’t even thought about sparing him yet!”

“Where is he now?

I’ll take the City Guards right now, to take care of that bastard!”

Zhao Huangqian clenched his fists, the anger within him unable to be vented, making his face turn red.

Lu Chuan continued, “They should have headed to Heavenly Yin Mountain by now.

I heard someone say that Lu Wansheng is supposed to lead the Lu family’s people up to Heavenly Yin Mountain.”

“Once prepared, they will come down from the mountain to launch their revenge on us.

As for what they will do on the mountain, that remains unknown for the time being.”

“Good!

I will summon the City Guards now, I am going to lead the troops into Heavenly Yin Mountain, even if it means turning the world upside down, I will have them all killed!”

“Lu Wansheng!

I don’t care if you’re from the Lu family or not, daring to ally with the enemy who killed my son, I will absolutely not spare him!”

Zhao Huangqian stood up swiftly, impatient to lead his troops out of the city.

Lu Chuan quickly asked, “As for the people of the Lu Manor, I’ve pretty much wiped them out.

I want to know if the Lu family has any forces outside the city?”

Zhao Huangqian took a deep breath and began to think.

Moments later, it seemed he thought of something and quickly said, “On the plains to the south of the city, the Lu family has a mining business.

There are quite a few of the Lu family’s people there.”

“If that guy escapes there and needs manpower, he will definitely go there.”

“But it’s probably too late for us to go there now; that guy will have taken people and left.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, feeling that what Zhao Huangqian said made sense.

“As such, their plans should be able to proceed normally.

Get ready, we’ll prepare to head up the mountain soon to find this Li Xunying!”

“Good, I’ll gather my men and set off immediately.”

He trusted what Lu Chuan said, and learning from Lu Chuan about the whereabouts of the murderer, he did not hesitate to take immediate action.

After hurrying out of the study, Lu Chuan also quickly followed him out.

In the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, Zhao Huangqian summoned the officials within and gathered the troops to head for Heavenly Yin Mountain.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan left the City Lord’s Mansion before anyone else.

Now, the Dongfang Residence was busy, and the only one who could help Lu Chuan was probably only Zhao Huangqian.

Although the relationship between Lu Chuan and Zhao Huangqian was not deep, both had common enemies, which easily brought them together.

After leaving the city, Lu Chuan returned to the Dongfang Residence, mounted a fine horse, and prepared to leave the city.

The entire residence was now bustling with activity.

The Lu Manor was one of the top three massive families in Myriad Stars City, with various industries spread throughout the city.

Assimilating them completely was not something that could be done in a day or two.

Therefore, at most, Lu Chuan could bring along a couple of servants from the Dongfang Residence to accompany him out of the city.

If not, he could only call on Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang.

But that Li Xunying was far from an ordinary person, not even human, and extremely dangerous.

So, when Lu Chuan returned to the Dongfang Residence, he just called two servants to accompany him out of the city.

Lu Chuan rode his horse toward the city gate.

Just as he reached the gates, he saw the City Guards closing the grand doors.

Lu Chuan stepped forward briskly and inquired, “Why are the gates being closed when it’s still early?”

“The whole city is under martial law.

No one is allowed to leave at will.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then asked, “Is it the City Lord’s order?”

“That’s correct.”

“I need to leave the city.

Has the City Lord informed you of this?”

The guards at the gate exchanged puzzled looks, all appearing clueless.

At that moment, a man clad in fine armor stepped forward, clearly of higher military rank.

“Young Master, please leave the city!”

He hastily signaled to his subordinates to open the gate, and only then did Lu Chuan remount his horse and head toward the gate.

Lu Chuan looked at the guards with a smile, “It seems the City Lord is quite efficient, not giving me any trouble.”

Lu Chuan rode out of the city, leaving Myriad Stars City behind.

The others who were stuck at the gate, unable to leave, couldn’t help but feel envious of Lu Chuan’s privilege…

…

After leaving the city, Lu Chuan followed the route he remembered, heading toward Heavenly Yin Mountain.

The Heavenly Yin Mountain was easy to recognize; one just had to look toward the darkened sky in the distance to find it.

Lu Chuan gazed out toward the Heavenly Yin Mountain, flicked the reins, and urged his horse in that direction.

The servants flanking Lu Chuan looked at him curiously.

“Young Master Lu, where are we going?”

“To Heavenly Yin Mountain.”

“I’ve heard that place is very dangerous.

The City Lord’s son went missing there.”

“Yes, we are going there to deal with that matter.”

The two servants were somewhat bewildered but still obediently followed beside Lu Chuan.

“Heavenly Yin Mountain is not close, even if we ride hard, it will be afternoon by the time we get there.”

Lu Chuan looked toward one of the servants beside him, a robustly built man.

“We’re not going into battle alone.

Soon, Zhao Huangqian will lead the City Guards up the mountain to join us in the fight.”

“City Guards…

What kind of enemy requires the City Guards to be mobilized?”

The servant asked in astonishment.

“The murderer who killed the City Lord’s son.”

“That…

that guy has some guts, daring to kill the City Lord’s son.

He must be a lunatic.

No wonder the City Lord is sending out the City Guards.”

“It seems that the culprit is in for it, the strength of the City Guards is too fierce.”

Listening to their conversation, it seemed the City Guards were indeed formidable.

“Are the City Guards really that powerful?”

The servant on his left hurriedly replied, “Of course they are powerful.

The most elite group among them, totaling one hundred and fifty people, are all at the Peak Martial Prince Realm, with several at the Martial Emperor Realm.”

“What’s most formidable is not just their personal strength but also the battle formations they’ve mastered.

Once they maintain formation and begin their assault, they become unstoppable and invincible, truly the most powerful force in the entire Myriad Stars City!”

“If it weren’t for this strength, the City Lord Zhao Huangqian wouldn’t be able to suppress so many prominent families.”

“So, the power of the City Guards is indeed very strong.”
