Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 820 - 820 780

820: 780 820: 780 At the northern gate of Forest City.

No sooner had Wan Changdong left than Lu Chuan followed.

Li Xunying was close behind Lu Chuan at the city gate.

Both riding fine horses, they passed through the gate, preparing to leave the city.

As they were about to exit through the city gate, suddenly, Lu Chuan was stopped.

“You!

You are not allowed to leave the city!”

Lu Chuan looked at the person who came to meet him, a captain of the City Defense Squad.

Clad in silver armor, he stood in front of Lu Chuan, tightly gripping his weapon, his posture suggesting a readiness to defend the gate alone against a multitude of foes.

Lu Chuan looked at him and asked with a smile, “And why am I not allowed to leave the city?”

“It is the City Lord’s command, would you dare to defy it?”

“Can’t you speak in a nicer tone?”

“No, I can’t.

No matter what, you have no right to leave the city, now go back!”

He shouted aloud.

Lu Chuan’s gaze turned icy, for when it came down to it, he absolutely could not turn back.

If he didn’t stop Wan Changdong at this moment, everything would become difficult.

If he allowed him to lead the City Guards in an assault on the Dongfang family, the Dongfang Residence would likely be utterly destroyed!

Lu Manor would never let the Dongfang Residence go.

Lu Chuan spoke with a focused voice, “I’ll ask you one more time, are you sure you won’t let me leave the city?”

“Why waste words?

I’ve said you can’t leave, so don’t even think about it!”

“Go back!”

“Go back quickly!”

He yelled loudly.

Lu Chuan dismounted and walked towards him.

And he, the captain, took up his long spear and pointed it directly at Lu Chuan.

“What?

You think you can just barge through?

Daring to provoke the City Lord’s power within Forest City, you’re seeking death!”

The rest of the City Defense Squad all gathered around, each drawing their weapons.

Many bystanders in the vicinity stopped to watch the excitement.

Seeing the standoff between the two parties, they couldn’t help but look forward with anticipation.

Lu Chuan drew his Soul Terminating Sword, ready to force his way through.

Upon seeing this, the captain of the squad roared in anger, “You bastard, looking for a fight, are you?

You’re asking for death!”

Immediately, he led his squad of twenty or thirty men, charging towards Lu Chuan.

Li Xunying quickly called out, “Young Master Lu, let me help you!”

“No need, let me handle this.”

Lu Chuan swung his Soul Terminating Sword, its sharp blade instantly severing the spearhead of the captain’s weapon.

Whoosh!

Amidst the flashing sword light, Lu Chuan delivered several consecutive slashes, chopping the long spear into pieces.

Lu Chuan charged forward swiftly, thrusting his sword towards the opponent.

The captain couldn’t react to Lu Chuan’s speed, nor did he have the chance to dodge.

After closing the distance, Lu Chuan pierced through his chest with a single thrust.

Splurch!

Blood spurted out as Lu Chuan withdrew his longsword, and the squad captain fell to the ground.

Lu Chuan scanned the crowd and asked indifferently, “Who else will continue to obstruct me?”

He asked loudly.

Subsequently, everyone fell silent, not daring to speak any further or step forward to obstruct him in the slightest.

Lu Chuan turned and remounted his horse, preparing to ride out of the city gate.

“These city guards, what courage do they have?

Their leader dies, and they immediately cower.”

Lu Chuan said disdainfully.

As he passed other guards, someone shouted, “You’ve killed the City Lord’s man, you won’t be able to mix in Forest City anymore!”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan burst into laughter, “Haha, the one who can’t mix in here any longer, I’m afraid, is your City Lord of Forest City!”

Lu Chuan laughed dismissively and then rode his horse out of the city gate.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned in place.

They had not expected Lu Chuan to say such words.

“What…

did he just say?

That the City Lord is the one who can’t survive here?

But this is Forest City!”

They all looked at each other in shock at Lu Chuan’s words.

By this time, Lu Chuan had already ridden out of the city, heading in the direction of City North.

“Their caravan always appears at City South, so why do they end up gathering in City North?”

Lu Chuan asked.

Li Xunying, following by his side, replied, “That’s right, I followed the caravan for a long time.

They wound their way around the mountains, eventually veering off towards the direction of City North.”

“One could say they made great efforts to keep their secret safe.”

“But even so, they still couldn’t shake me off, and I continued to track them.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I see, how far are we from our target now?”

“A two-hour journey, we’ll have plenty of time to get there.”

Lu Chuan looked at the gradually darkening sky, night was approaching.

Fighting at night is always much more dangerous.

The two rode their horses up the mountain.

Upon reaching a steep slope, they found a concealed spot to hide their horses and proceeded to climb the mountain on foot.

They continued upward and soon came upon a small path through the woods.

“If we follow this path upwards, we’ll arrive at the sect’s entrance.”

The two continued to ascend, and before long, Lu Chuan could make out the shadow of that sect.

“What sect is that?”

“The plaque has been weathered away; it’s no longer possible to discern what it once said.”

“Young Master Lu, I can affirm that our target is definitely hiding inside there.”

Lu Chuan looked down and suddenly noticed a very shallow footprint beside him.

Seeing the footprint, Lu Chuan began to contemplate.

“Such shallow footprints…

I fear they would be covered up by the wind during the day.”

“They must be recent footprints.

Someone has gotten here before us.

If I guess correctly, it is the City Lord, Wan Changdong.”

Li Xunying gave a slight nod, “It seems they have a head start, should we still go in?”

Lu Chuan continued forward, “Of course we should continue, this is our best opportunity yet.

If we allow the City Lord to return to Forest City unscathed, we may never get another chance.”

“Although it’s just hearsay, the strength of his City Guards must not be underestimated.”

Lu Chuan went on ahead and arrived in front of the sect.

It looked just like a temple, the plaque hanging crookedly at the entrance, its large characters no longer legible.

Lu Chuan leaned against the wall for a moment, then turned to Li Xunying and said, “Keep watch here while I go in to check the situation.”

Immediately after, Lu Chuan sat down cross-legged.

Li Xunying stood beside him, anxiously surveying the surroundings.

Suddenly, Lu Chuan’s Divine Soul left his body and floated in mid-air.

Following that, it entered the courtyard.

There he saw the figure of Wan Changdong standing there, and in front of him stood Lu Baixuan.

“Wan Changdong, are you ready?”

“Big Brother Lu, I am ready!”

“Good, what comes next is the most important event of your life.

You are about to break through to the Martial Saint Realm!”

Wan Changdong took a deep breath, his heart filled with excitement, and his body tense with anticipation.

“Martial Saint Realm, oh Martial Saint Realm, I am about to make the breakthrough.

Big Brother Lu, I can’t wait any longer, let’s do this!”

He shouted excitedly.

“All right, please come with me.

Everything has been prepared, we are only waiting for you.”

“But remember, once I’ve helped you, you must also aid me!”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother Lu; I will definitely be of help to you!”

“It’s just the Dongfang Residence, I shall surely crush it.”
