Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 819 - 819 719 Fugitive

819: Chapter 719: Fugitive 819: Chapter 719: Fugitive Lu Chuan looked at Li Xunying and quickly asked, “Did you follow the convoy to their destination point?

Where was it?”

“They assembled at the top of a mountain to the north of the city.

It seems the mountain is called Earth Spirit Mountain, where it’s said that the Spiritual Energy is very abundant.

Many Martial Path cultivators go there to practice their martial arts.”

“The place where they finally stopped was a decrepit sect building—rundown and small in scale, much like a courtyard with few buildings.”

“After the carriages entered one by one, the security was very tight.

I couldn’t see inside, but even so, their secretive behavior was indeed unusual.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Earth Spirit Mountain…”

“I need to ask Dongfang Cheng about this place.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

“Seeing as you’re back, you stay here and stop anyone from entering!”

Li Xunying paused, somewhat confused.

“Young Master Lu, why is this?

Am I supposed to be a mere yard keeper?

That wouldn’t utilize my abilities at all!”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, somewhat helplessly, “Just now, someone poisoned Gu Xiaorou with a lethal drug.

Thankfully, it was discovered in time, and I saved her.”

Li Xunying’s eyes widened as he quickly asked, “Inside the Dongfang Residence, who could have sneaked in and poisoned her?!”

“Someone from the Dongfang Residence itself.”

“Ah?

Have these people gone mad?

Aren’t we helping them?”

He asked, surprised.

Lu Chuan shrugged, “No choice.

That Dongfang Lian isn’t on the same page as Dongfang Cheng.

She chose to help the City Lord and poisoned Gu Xiaorou to prevent me from leaving the city.”

“Then what do we do?

What if Wan Changdong really breaks through to the Martial Saint Realm?

He will surely act, and when that happens, we’ll be facing a big battle!”

Li Xunying asked anxiously.

He was facing a major crisis when his quest for vengeance had not even begun.

Lu Chuan looked at Li Xunying and asked, “Just go to the mountain you mentioned, see if we can stop that bastard!”

“If we’re lucky enough, we might be able to kill him on the spot!”

“If we kill him outside the city, as long as the aftermath is handled well, it shouldn’t be exposed too quickly.”

Li Xunying nodded, “No problem, shall we get ready to set off?

Should we call Dongfang Cheng?”

“Not for now, just the two of us will go.”

With that, the two of them left the Dongfang Residence.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Lian, after escaping from the Dongfang Residence, was running towards the Inner City.

Only when she reached the city gate did she slowly stop her frantic pace.

With her heart still racing, she looked back twice.

After seeing that no one was following her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m Dongfang Lian, let me in!”

She stood in front of the guards, demanding with an imposing tone.

“I’m sorry, but the City Lord isn’t seeing anyone right now; he’s preparing to leave.”

“That won’t do!

I have nowhere else to go; I need to stay here for a while!”

The two guards exchanged a smile, finding Dongfang Lian’s words a joke.

“Hahaha, Miss Dongfang, do you still need to stay in the City Lord’s Mansion?

Isn’t your Dongfang Residence posh enough?

Are you out of spare houses there?”

Dongfang Lian gritted her teeth and said, “Open the gate for me, I need to get in!”

She shouted loudly.

However, her identity didn’t carry much weight in the eyes of the City Lord’s guards.

“Sorry, the Honorable City Lord has ordered us not to let anyone in.”

“So, please leave.

Besides, the Honorable City Lord is about to leave, he won’t have time to see you.”

Dongfang Lian was so angry she gnashed her teeth and stamped her foot on the ground.

“Fine, if you won’t let me in, then I’ll wait here until he comes out!”

“He’s about to leave, isn’t he?

Then I’ll just wait here.

I refuse to believe that I won’t see him!”

The two guards exchanged glances, both helplessly shrugging their shoulders.

“Seriously, just let her wait here…”

Both guards sighed helplessly.

Just at that moment, the city gates slowly opened, and the City Lord, Wan Changdong, rode out on a jujube-red steed, followed by two teams of cavalry.

After leaving the city gate, the two guards knelt down respectfully.

“We welcome the City Lord’s departure from the city!”

Wan Changdong rode his horse out of the Inner City, and onto the street.

Dongfang Lian ran over to him, stood in front of him with her arms spread wide, and blocked his way.

“Wan Changdong, you’re actually ignoring me?”

Wan Changdong looked at her and smiled, “Dongfang Lian, it seems you have successfully completed the task.

Otherwise, my caravan wouldn’t have been able to leave Forest City so smoothly.”

“Besides, you’ve even run out here.

What, have you been exposed?”

“Nonsense, those two didn’t die at all!

You told me the poison was fatal, and that there was no antidote in this world!”

“But those two collapsed only momentarily.

After Lu Chuan returned, they came back to life!”

Wan Changdong furrowed his brows slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

“Impossible, I gave you the Severing Thousands Vein Crushing Pill.

There’s no antidote for it, and anyone who takes it dies within ten minutes.”

“How could they be saved?

It’s simply impossible!”

He exclaimed in surprise.

“What are you shouting for?

I’m the one who should be yelling!”

“Now, Lu Chuan must hate me to death.

If I go back to the Dongfang Residence now, I’m as good as dead!”

“See what you can do about it!”

She shouted loudly.

Wan Changdong shook his head helplessly, “How can this be…

They didn’t die…

How is that possible!”

He still found it unbelievable, “What kind of method does Lu Chuan have to actually bring them back?

It’s simply incredible.”

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Since my plan is about to succeed, I need not consider these things anymore.”

“Since you have no place to return to now, stay in the Inner City.

Go to my City Lord’s Mansion.

You are the daughter of the Dongfang Family Patriarch, I will certainly not harm you.”

Dongfang Lian sighed helplessly, “Fine then, once my father brings people over, I won’t be afraid of that guy.”

“And remember your promise to me, after success, stop targeting the Dongfang Residence and stop colluding with the Lu family.

Let’s all live in peace, everything settled.”

“No problem, I assure you with the honor of the City Lord, I will definitely do it.”

“Now, I need to leave the city.

We’ll talk more when I return.”

Dongfang Lian nodded slightly and then stepped aside to clear the path.

“Rest assured.

When I return, I will personally visit the Dongfang Residence and have a good talk with Lu Chuan, convincing him to let go of his grudges.”

He smiled triumphantly and then rode away.

Dongfang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, as if a burden had been lifted.

“Finally, the crisis has been averted…

The Dongfang Residence should be safe now.”

She sighed with relief and spoke with lingering fear.

Then, she walked toward the main gate.

When she passed by the guards, she glared at them.

“Continue to stop me?

Why aren’t you stopping me now?”
