783: Chapter 743: Going Up the Mountain Again_1 783: Chapter 743: Going Up the Mountain Again_1 The two attendants at his side were full of nothing but praise, as if the City Guards descended like Divine Troops from the heavens, capable of crushing all enemies.

But in reality, without witnessing the City Guards in action, the outcome was still uncertain.

“Listening to you two, it sounds like the City Guards are invincible.”

“At least within Myriad Stars City, they truly are invincible.

Even the Lu Manor, without Lu Wu’s arrival, is no match for the City Guards.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I see now, it seems I have sought the right assistance.

This Zhao Huangqian should be able to offer quite a bit of help.”

What Lu Chuan was most worried about was the Lu family taking the people of the Lu family up the mountain, willingly becoming puppets for the evil spirit, using this as a tradeoff to take revenge on him.

Had this been during the heyday of the Lu Manor, they absolutely would not have resorted to such measures.

However, on the eve of their impending destruction, they could only make this desperate gamble, at least not dying in vain.

Lu Chuan scoffed disdainfully, the Lu Manor’s final death throes were truly insane, practically demonic.

However, if this was the case, confronting them would still prove to be quite troublesome.

Thus, the upcoming battle would likely not be an easy one.

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, the key issue was that Li Xunying, whose current strength was still unknown to him, leaving him feeling very uncertain.

Soon, Lu Chuan gradually approached the surrounding area of Heavenly Yin Mountain.

In the distance, Lu Chuan saw a resting stop right by the small road.

The resting stop was brightly lit, as it was dusk, the lanterns at the entrance had already been lit.

Lu Chuan rode over on his horse.

After a long and bumpy journey, it was time to take a break before continuing up the mountain.

Otherwise, after the jolting ride, starting the ascent and battle immediately would be too exhausting.

After dismounting, Lu Chuan entered the resting stop.

Pushing aside the doorway curtain, Lu Chuan walked in.

“Sir, would you like something to eat?”

The enthusiastic innkeeper came over.

Inside the hall, the arranged tables were mostly occupied by guests, showing that business was quite good.

“I want to ask you something, have you seen people from the Lu Manor pass by here?”

The innkeeper rubbed his palms together and awkwardly smiled, “Sir, I’m not in a good position to talk about this, that’s the Lu Manor after all.”

His response practically confirmed that he had seen people from the Lu Manor passing by here.

But he needed a tip before he could continue talking.

Lu Chuan looked at his attendant, “Give him something.”

The attendant stepped forward, took out a few silver pieces from his bosom, and handed them over to the innkeeper.

“Alright, Sir.

This afternoon, a large group of people passed by this road and went up the mountain.”

“I recognize the person leading them, that was Lu Wansheng, the Manor Master of Myriad Stars City’s Lu Manor.”

“How many people in total?”

Lu Chuan continued to inquire.

“As for the number of people…

well, there were quite a few, about three or four hundred I’d say.

It took a while for the procession to pass by the entrance.”

Lu Chuan kept asking, “Was there a man dressed in black with a hood among the crowd?”

“Yes, yes, exactly, how did you know that?

Did you just see him?”

The curious innkeeper asked.

“Don’t ask so many questions, go on, bring up a pound of beef and a few of your signature dishes.”

“We’ll fill up before going up the mountain to find people.”

Lu Chuan sat down at a table to the side.

The two attendants followed and did not sit down right away, seemingly waiting for Lu Chuan’s command.

“Sit down.

Order whatever you want while you’re with me.”

Only then did the two relax and take their seats.

Both of them were very young, not exceeding twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but their strength was not bad.

In the Dongfang Residence, they would be considered talented youngsters.

However, there were too many talents, and thus their strength and talent were not worth mentioning.

“Young Master Lu, once we go up the mountain, will there be danger?”

The follower in white clothes asked nervously.

“Of course, there’s danger, if you’re scared, you can stay here.”

“Of course, we’re not scared.

We’ll go up the mountain together, no problem at all.

We’re from the Dongfang family, we can’t just cower!”

The follower in grey clothes said seriously.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Then follow me up the mountain, I will try my best to ensure your safety.”

“Hurry up and eat.

While there’s still the last bit of light from the sunset, we’ll head up the mountain to search for that person.”

“No problem!”

Soon, a plate of braised beef was brought up.

Then, a few of the inn’s signature dishes were also brought up.

With a table full of meat and fish, they would have plenty of energy to fight after eating.

The three of them stopped chit-chatting, efficiently finished the table full of dishes, and after leaving the meal money on the table, stood up and left the inn.

Back outside the inn, Lu Chuan took the reins of his horse and began to prepare for the mountain ascent.

Before climbing the mountain, they needed to find a place to tie up the horses.

After hiding their horses at the foot of the mountain, the three of them started to walk up the mountain.

“Young Master Lu, the guy we’re looking for, since he had the guts to kill the City Lord’s son, his strength must be really strong, right?”

The follower in white clothes asked.

“What are you afraid of?

Isn’t Young Master Lu’s strength even stronger?

With Young Master Lu by our side, are you still worried about safety?”

The follower in grey clothes acted fearlessly.

“That guy’s strength is not known yet, we’ll find out when we encounter him.”

“Young Master Lu, how are we going to search for him?

With mountains and wilds everywhere, it won’t be easy to find someone.”

The follower in white clothes continued to ask.

Lu Chuan turned back to look at him and said, “Just follow me closely, I know where to search.”

Soon, Lu Chuan arrived at the location of the Shadow Cult.

This dilapidated sect courtyard was now completely deserted.

The gates were wide open, and when Lu Chuan called out inside, there was no response.

“No one’s here…

let’s go to the mass burial mound.”

The follower in white clothes trembled slightly, nervous, “The mass burial mound…

That place is dangerous to go to, isn’t it?”

Lu Chuan said unconcernedly, “I just came back from there yesterday, what’s so dangerous about it?

I’ve slain all the evil spirits there.”

“Alright, with Young Master Lu’s word, I’m reassured!”

The three continued to ascend the mountain, and soon, they reached the depths within the mountain.

The surrounding environment gradually became eerie, and a desolate wind kept blowing, sending chills down one’s spine.

Lu Chuan found it strange; he had clearly slain all the evil spirits, so why was this place still so dark and ominous?

The yin energy here was also too heavy; it seemed that it would be difficult to change for a while.

Lu Chuan drew the Soul Terminating Sword and continued forward; it was going to be full of dangers.

That Li Xunying was most likely waiting for him here.

This was where his subordinates were buried; if he wanted to summon evil spirits and possess the bodies of the Lu family members, he would probably have to come here.

Lu Chuan slowly advanced through the withered forest, the sky had grown dim, and the surroundings were dark and lightless, with very low visibility.

The followers behind Lu Chuan held only a very short torch, not daring to carry a larger one.

Not long after Lu Chuan walked forward, he seemed to see a figure in the distance.

Under the shadows, a figure stood in the woods, seemingly gazing indifferently at him.

“You’re doomed today, Li Xunying, you should have died long ago, why can’t you just accept it!”
