Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 804 - 804 764 The Temptation of the Martial Saint Realm

804: Chapter 764: The Temptation of the Martial Saint Realm 804: Chapter 764: The Temptation of the Martial Saint Realm Inside the Council Hall, Lu Chuan hovered above the high platform, looking down at the conversation between the two men below.

Wan Changdong seemed very conflicted, while Lu Baixuan wore an indifferent expression.

“As the City Lord, you actually care about your reputation?

What’s the use of reputation?

If you have enough strength, which of the people below would dare to defy you?”

“Cooperate well with me, and I promise you’ll break through to the Martial Saint Realm!”

Wan Changdong’s eyes lit up, “I’m just a hair’s breadth away from the Martial Saint Realm.

If you can help me cross that gap, I will be eternally grateful!”

He looked at Lu Baixuan with a very grateful expression.

The temptation of the Martial Saint Realm’s power was too great for Wan Changdong; he just couldn’t resist it.

If someone could help him break through to the Martial Saint Realm, that person would be like his parents reborn, holding a tremendous debt of gratitude.

Lu Baixuan smiled faintly, “No problem.

Lu Wu was trained by me.

He managed to enter the ranks of Martial Emperor powerful experts, so naturally, you can too.”

“We, the people of Forest City’s Lu Residence, had only Lu Wu who reached the Martial Saint Realm, and that bastard was slain; I absolutely must avenge this!”

Wan Changdong quickly patted his chest, “Let me avenge this wrong for you.

As long as you help me enter the ranks of the Martial Saint Realm, I can avenge you!”

“You?

By yourself, it’s probably not enough, but if you bring your City Guards, among them there are more than a dozen Martial Emperor powerful experts.

Lead them in a collective move, and you’ll be able to kill Lu Chuan securely.”

Wan Changdong nodded repeatedly, “Big Brother Lu is right.

As soon as I break through to the Martial Saint Realm, I’ll immediately lead my brothers to avenge you!”

“Good, I trust you.

Since that’s the case, you must fulfill all my demands, not one less.”

“One hundred boys and girls—that’s very hard to find,” Wan Changdong started to frown.

“Aren’t there plenty in the city?

Send a few sharp subordinates; they can get it done in a day.”

Wan Changdong immediately panicked, “How is that possible in one day?

If so many people go missing in a day, there will be chaos in the city!”

“I don’t care.

You need to fulfill my demands quickly, otherwise, you can keep waiting for your breakthrough opportunity.”

“Elder brother, rest assured, I definitely won’t disappoint you.

I’ll be very grateful for your help with my reaching the Martial Saint Realm.”

“Stop thanking me.

From now on, just work well with our Lu family—no more stabbing us in the back halfway through.”

Wan Changdong quickly replied earnestly, “That’s absolutely impossible, rest assured.

From now on, we are long-term partners!”

“Okay, let’s stop here for now.

I’m going to leave.

Be cautious—walls have ears.

It would be bad if someone overheard us.”

“Impossible, my place is under strict guard.

It’s not possible for anyone to overhear our conversation.”

“There are always people beyond people, heavens beyond skies.

Some methods, you would never think of.”

Having said this, Lu Baixuan lifted his head and looked in the direction of Lu Chuan.

Then, his face revealed a wickedly charming smile.

Lu Chuan watched his eyes and laughed disdainfully, his Divine Soul then leaving the Council Hall.

Wan Changdong, observing Lu Baixuan’s eeriness, quickly asked, “Is there something above?

That’s the beam, it’s impossible for anyone to be there.”

“I could feel it.

Just now, during our conversation, someone was hanging overhead, surveilling and eavesdropping on us, but now, he seems to have left.”

“Ah?

Impossible, I didn’t see anything!”

Wan Changdong looked incredulous.

“If you didn’t see anything, that’s about right because I didn’t see anything either.”

“Then…

”

“I could feel it.”

Wan Changdong scratched his head, his face showing confusion, not understanding what Lu Baixuan meant.

“Nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.

Come to find me when you’ve gathered everything.”

“Okay, let me see you out.”

“There’s no need, go about your own business.”

…

Meanwhile, outside the city gates, Lu Chuan opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.

“Young Master Lu, what good does meditating serve you now?”

He looked at Lu Chuan, puzzled.

“I just saw Wan Changdong speaking with people from the Lu Manor.”

“What?

How did you see that?”

Dongfang Cheng asked in surprise.

“This…

this can’t be possible!”

“I ask you, do you know Lu Baixuan?”

“Of course I do, he is the Manor Master of the Forest City’s Lu Residence.” Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan with surprise, “When did you find out?”

“Just now, Wan Changdong met with Lu Baixuan.”

“They met…

and what did they talk about?

Also, how did you know?”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan with curiosity.

In his heart, he couldn’t understand; Lu Chuan had some moves he had never seen before, capable of spying on people in the Council Hall.

Lu Chuan continued, “They talked about Zhao Heihu.

Zhao Heihu is confirmed to be Wan Changdong’s man; he just lied to us.”

“Lu Baixuan promised to help Wan Changdong break through to the Martial Saint Realm, but the condition is that right after the breakthrough, Wan Changdong must immediately lead the City Guards to encircle the Dongfang family and myself.”

“To help Wan Changdong break through to the Martial Saint Realm, they need to round up a hundred children.

As for how it will be done, that is still unknown.”

“The situation is quite clear now, the Lu family has indeed combined forces with the City Lord, but they can’t make their move yet.

They have to wait until all conditions are met and Wan Changdong is powerful enough before they act against us.”

Dongfang Cheng, feeling utterly bewildered and scratching his head, asked, “Then what should we do?”

“We need to prevent them from achieving their goal and also figure out by what means Lu Baixuan is going to help Wan Changdong break through to the Martial Saint Realm.”

“Alright, but what should we do specifically?”

“Let’s discuss it when we get back; it’s late today.”

The two walked back to the Dongfang Residence along the street.

This visit to the City Lord’s Mansion, Dongfang Cheng initially thought it would be a wasted effort, but unexpectedly, Lu Chuan was able to gather so much intelligence.

It seemed that the trip was not in vain after all; at least they had clarified Wan Changdong’s thoughts.

It appears that the power of the City Lord is not on the side of the Dongfang family.

Under the current circumstances, the Dongfang family can be said to be in the midst of crisis.

Soon, the two returned to the Dongfang Residence.

The caretaker approached them, looking at the two with a beaming smile.

“Young Master, the honored guest has been arranged in the guest room with the lotus pond; the environment there is beautiful, and the decor is exquisite.”

“Lead us there.”

“Certainly, Young Master.”

The caretaker led the way with Dongfang Cheng and Lu Chuan following close behind.

Soon, they passed through a circular stone gate and entered a courtyard.

At the entrance of the mansion, there was a lotus pond, with a small bridge crossing over it.

Over the bridge, one could see the facade of the mansion, where Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang were chatting at the door.

Following the caretaker’s lead, Lu Chuan arrived at the doorstep of the mansion and sat down at a stone table.

“Young Master Lu, what do you plan to do next?” Dongfang Cheng, sitting beside, asked.
