Chapter 792 - 792 752 Target Forest City_1

792: Chapter 752 Target Forest City_1 792: Chapter 752 Target Forest City_1 Li Xunying nodded repeatedly to Lu Chuan, earnestly saying, “Rest assured, I will certainly do my utmost to assist you in your affairs.”

Lu Chuan continued to inquire, “Where is the significant influence of the Nangong family located?”

“The murderer who killed us, if nothing unexpected happens, should be in the northern Forest City.”

Lu Chuan looked towards Dongfang Cheng and asked, “What place is Forest City?”

“Head north and you’ll find a vast, dense jungle.

In the midst of that jungle, you can see a magnificent, large city, that is Forest City.”

“The natural resources there are abundant, and living there is relatively more comfortable.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Are you going there?

Indeed, it would be closer to the Lu family, but surely not as fast as going straight there.”

“That’s a place abundant with nature’s spiritual energy, where cultivation speed is very fast.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment before saying, “Then, my next stop shall be there.”

“Does your Dongfang family have its own influence established there?”

Lu Chuan asked curiously.

“Of course, how could we not get a share of such an important place?”

“Not to mention the abundance of spiritual energy, there are countless resources, spiritual herbs, and strange beasts of all kinds in the mountains.”

“Many major families have established influence there, and anyone with a piece of the mountain can make a fortune.”

“With such an important place, anyone with a little bit of strength would want to compete for a share.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and said, “In that case, let us choose a date and depart for there.”

Dongfang Cheng continued, “Definitely, there must also be the Lu family’s influence there, but now, it should be the weakest period of their power there.

If I’m not mistaken, that Lu Wu was originally one of the martial generals stationed at Forest City’s Lu Residence.”

“He must have received an urgent command, which is why he rushed to Myriad Stars City to support the Lu Manor there.”

“Now, both he and the Lu Manor have perished, and at least Myriad Stars City is thoroughly under Dongfang Residence’s control.”

At this moment, the carriage stopped, and they arrived at the gate of Dongfang Residence.

After disembarking from the carriage, the three of them entered Dongfang Residence one after another.

“Dongfang Cheng, you take him to rest.

Tomorrow or the day after, we’ll depart,” said a voice.

“No problem.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Li Xunying and said, “Follow me.”

He led Li Xunying away to find a place for him to stay.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan returned to his own small courtyard.

Not seeing Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang in the courtyard, Lu Chuan proceeded inside the house.

Upon pushing the door open, Lu Chuan saw the candles burning brightly, and Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang were deeply engrossed in conversation at the dining table.

The table was laden with food.

At that moment, Gu Xiaorou stood up quickly upon seeing Lu Chuan, “Lu Chuan, you’re finally back.

Let’s eat, but the food has gotten cold, let me warm it up for you.”

Lu Chuan walked over and sat down, “No need.”

Gu Xiaorou asked about the situation outside, “How are things out there?

I heard rumors that someone is planning to attack the city, and even the City Guards are no match for the enemy, suffering a complete defeat.”

Lu Chuan remarked, “The news sure travels fast.”

“Is it really true?”

Gu Xiaorou asked with surprise.

“Of course, it’s true.

The City Guards have perished, all of them are dead.

Of course, that enemy force has also been completely wiped out.

Now the crisis has passed, and Myriad Stars City is very safe.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang both sighed in relief.

“We’ll prepare to leave in the next two days and head to the next city, Forest City.”

Gu Xiaorou blinked curiously, “Forest City?

Are we going there?”

“Exactly, I’ll explain the details to you slowly.”

Gu Xiaorou glanced at Gu Xiaosang, then both of them looked at Lu Chuan together.

“Lu Chuan, otherwise, you go to Forest City first.

Xiaosang and I want to stay at the Dongfang residence for a while until we cultivate our strength to the Martial Emperor Realm, and then we’ll come to find you.”

Lu Chuan looked at the two of them and asked, “There’s no need, I can protect you.”

“I know you have the strength, but if we weren’t there, you could perform even better.

We are now at the Martial King Realm—we can handle an opponent of average strength, but if we were to encounter an enemy like Lu Wu, our only fate would be a merciless death.”

“If you’re always worried about us, it will also be inconvenient for you to act, so…”

Lu Chuan’s brow furrowed slightly, the words of Gu Xiaorou plunging him into deep thought.

If he let Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang stay at the Dongfang residence, it wasn’t out of the question, as the Dongfang family could also ensure their safety.

But this would indirectly be handing leverage to the Dongfang Residence.

If one day he fell out with the Dongfang Residence, that would be a handle for them.

Although they were currently allies with the Dongfang family, no one could say for sure about the future.

After careful consideration, Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly.

“No, you two must come with me, must stay by my side, and cannot remain within the Dongfang Residence.”

Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan, puzzled, and asked, “Are you worried about something?”

“The Dongfang family shouldn’t make a move against us, right?”

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaorou and said, “What if?

What if the Dongfang family’s people use you two to control me, could I disobey them?”

Lu Chuan continued, “We’ll head to Forest City first.

If there’s a chance, I’ll arrange a place for you two to focus on cultivation.

Once you come out of seclusion later, you can then find me.”

“Well…

that works, let’s do that.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded, agreeing to Lu Chuan’s decision.

After a simple dinner, Lu Chuan prepared to go to sleep.

…

The next day, Lu Chuan got up early, got dressed, and went to the courtyard.

Sitting on the stone chair in the courtyard, Lu Chuan took out the Soul Terminating Sword.

Then, he immersed a part of his Divine Soul into the Soul Terminating Sword.

After an exploration, Lu Chuan found that there were roughly five or six hundred soul fragments floating around in that gloomy space.

If he released so many soul fragments at once during battle, he didn’t know what effect it would have.

Being able to accumulate so many soul fragments, the Carefree Taoist Priest had played an indispensable role.

Lu Chuan stroked the blade, remembering the day he first visited the Carefree Taoist Priest.

After putting away the longsword, Lu Chuan stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

He went to the study and found Dongfang Cheng.

After breakfast, he would always come to the study to read seriously.

Browsing through various ancient texts allowed him to deepen his understanding of the Kunlun Domain.

After Lu Chuan entered, Dongfang Cheng hurriedly put down the ancient text, stood up, and looked at Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, coming to find me so early in the morning.”

“To discuss when we should set off for Forest City.”

“No problem, we can leave today.

I’m already prepared.

There are still many things in Myriad Stars City that haven’t been dealt with, such as the remaining properties of the Lu Manor.”

“But with my uncle here, he should be able to handle it, so if we leave now, that’s also possible.”
