791: Chapter 751: Nangong Family of the Kunlun Domain_1 791: Chapter 751: Nangong Family of the Kunlun Domain_1 The Shadow Kill Army before Lu Chuan’s eyes fell one after another, all becoming corpses, stripped of life.

Seeing this scene, Li Xunying let out a relieved sigh, as if the pressure he had been carrying was completely released.

He stood up again, turned back to Lu Chuan, and asked, “Young Master Lu, everything has ended.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then turned to look at Zhao Huangqian, and asked, “Are you satisfied with this outcome?”

Zhao Huangqian was silent for a moment, glanced at Li Xunying, then sighed helplessly, “Let it be, I will take this Lu Wansheng back and slowly torture him to death.”

“As for other matters, I won’t interfere; you deal with them yourself.”

“Next, I need to find time to hold a memorial service to mourn for all the members of the City Guards.”

Lu Chuan walked up to Zhao Huangqian and reminded him, “There are a few survivors in the City Guards, send someone to search for them.”

“Really?

I’ll set out right now!”

Zhao Huangqian turned hastily and left, heading towards the city gate.

Lu Chuan looked at Li Xunying and said, “Follow me, don’t wander off.”

Then, Lu Chuan led Li Xunying into the city walls.

After passing through the city gate and entering the city, Lu Chuan spotted Dongfang Cheng’s figure among the crowd at a glance.

Quite a few onlookers gathered at the city gate.

Such incidents as a city being attacked had not occurred for decades, naturally arousing curiosity.

Lu Chuan walked toward Dongfang Cheng.

“Young Master Lu, are you unharmed?

What exactly happened outside just now?”

Dongfang Cheng stepped forward and scrutinized Lu Chuan seriously.

Lu Chuan spread his hands and said with a smile, “How could I possibly be hurt?

Those who attacked us are all dead, Myriad Stars City is absolutely safe, you can rest assured.”

“That’s good to hear.

If you say it’s safe, then it certainly is.”

“Young Master Lu, who is this?”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Li Xunying standing behind Lu Chuan; dressed in black clothes, wearing a hood and a veil, he looked very mysterious.

“This is Li Xunying.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Cheng immediately stepped back in fright, “Young Master Lu…

what is going on?

Why is he following behind you?

Isn’t he our enemy?”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “I defeated him at the mass burial mound; he’s no match for me, which is why he has willingly conceded and agreed to be my assistant.”

Li Xunying coughed lightly, “Young Master Lu, it’s not exactly true that I’m not a match for you.

Our fight was quite even-handed.”

Lu Chuan glanced back at him, “Did I ask for your input?”

Li Xunying quickly took a step back and lowered his head saying, “I spoke out of turn.”

“Young Master Dongfang, go and rest.

The night is deep; it’s time to go back and rest.”

“Hurry back, Gu Xiaorou is very worried about you.”

“What’s there to worry about?

I haven’t encountered any life-threatening dangers on my way here.”

The three of them got into a carriage and headed toward Dongfang Residence.

“General Li, tell me, who killed your men, where do they reside, what forces are they from?”

Lu Chuan turned to Li Xunying and asked.

He nodded quickly and said, “Young Master Lu, our Shadow Kill Army is an independent force that exists in the form of mercenaries.

That is to say, if someone pays us enough money, we will do their bidding.”

“Our past missions have all gone well; we helped people take revenge and assassinate their enemies.”

“That was until we encountered a backer who was extremely treacherous.

They told us the target was just a small city’s merchant caravan and intercepting it would have no consequences.”

“It was only when we actually made our move that we discovered the target caravan was actually an escort group from the Nangong family!”

“So…”

Dongfang Cheng interrupted him and quickly asked, “What did you say?

The Nangong family?

You’ve offended them?”

“Yes, because of this, we have offended the Nangong family.”

“In their family, there is a monstrous existence, terribly powerful and skilled at setting up Formations.”

“As we passed by Heavenly Yin Mountain, we planned to find a flat area to camp and rest, but we were trapped in a Formation set by that old fiend and were subsequently slaughtered one by one.”

“That old fiend was arrogant by nature, slaughtering us while wantonly insulting us.

My brothers died filled with anger and humiliation, very unwilling in their death.”

He looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “The Nangong family, do you know of them?”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “The Nangong family, I encountered them in the secular world, but their connection with the Nangong family in the Kunlun Domain should not be significant.”

“That’s right, families of nobility in the Kunlun Domain have little to do with the secular world.”

“Often, when someone from these families commits an offense, they give him something and send him down to the secular world.”

“Those who are sent down to the secular world, with even a small treasure from the Kunlun Domain, can quickly rise to power and establish a dominant family or clan.”

Dongfang Cheng added seriously.

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng and continued to ask, “Then, do you know much about this Nangong family?”

“Of course, they are one of the largest families in the Kunlun Domain, how could I not know them.

However, they maintain neutrality year-round and don’t like to get involved in disputes.

Trying to pull them into the fray is as hard as reaching the heavens.”

Lu Chuan asked with some concern, “If that’s the case, then won’t they just reap the benefits if the two of you fight and both become weakened?”

Dongfang Cheng smiled helplessly, “Exactly, which is why our fight with the Lu family has not officially started and has been just minor skirmishes.”

Lu Chuan rubbed his forehead, lost in thought.

“According to what you said, the one who killed your men is a very strong elder from the Nangong family.

If I decide to take revenge for you, that means I will offend the Nangong family.”

“Now that I’m also involved with the Dongfang family, if I do this, won’t I be forcing the Nangong family to turn against me and join forces with the Lu family?”

Upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Dongfang Cheng immediately looked grave.

“That development won’t do.

We are already at a slight disadvantage compared to the Lu family.

If we add the Nangong family, the two of them could join forces and directly flatten Dongfang Residence’s power!”

Dongfang Cheng said anxiously, afraid that Lu Chuan would truly offend the Nangong family.

Lu Chuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

“I will find an opportunity to silently kill that bastard, covering up the news as much as possible.”

“That’s going to be too difficult.

You fought him to a standstill; facing that old man will likely be even harder.”

Lu Chuan glanced at Dongfang Cheng, “Do you believe whatever he says?

What ‘fought to a standstill’?

He’s not my match at all.

As for that old man, we can’t come to a conclusion without fighting.”

“If it’s not feasible, I’ll just break through one or two more realms, and naturally, I’ll have the power to defeat that person.”

Lu Chuan looked at Li Xunying and said, “Don’t worry, I will surely take revenge for you.

However, you also need to make full use of your abilities and help me with my affairs.”
