Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 850 - 850 810 The Final Battle

850: Chapter 810: The Final Battle 850: Chapter 810: The Final Battle Dongfang Changzhi shook his head helplessly, “I don’t know who would dare to lay a hand on him.

He is the son of the Dongfang Family Patriarch, after all.

Anyone plotting against him should have weighed the risks.”

“I didn’t dare let anyone else know about this.

Inside the manor, there are only a few people aware of the situation.”

“What we fear is that if this news gets out, if it gets to the Family Head, I’m afraid we will lose our heads.”

“Young Master Lu, I came here to beg for your help.

You must assist us in finding the whereabouts of Dongfang Cheng!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “He has helped me quite a bit.

I will try to find him and bring him back.

You shouldn’t worry too much; fretting is pointless.

Go look for him everywhere.”

“All right, I’ll send people out to search right away.

By the way, who do you think the murderer could be?”

He looked at Lu Chuan expectantly, hoping to get some answers from him.

“The suspect, I’m afraid there’s only one.”

“Who?” Dongfang Changzhi asked hastily.

“Wan Changdong.”

“The City Lord?

Impossible.

There are no conflicts of interest between them.

It couldn’t have been him.

If it were him, what would be his motive?

Why would he do such a thing?”

Lu Chuan shrugged his shoulders, “You better go back and look for people.

Once I have news, I’ll bring him to see you.”

“If you can find him, be sure to bring him back as soon as possible.

I’m really anxious about this.”

“Anxiety is useless.

Just try your best to find him.”

Dongfang Changzhi sighed helplessly and turned to walk out of Lu Manor with a lost soul’s demeanor, as if he had lost his spirit.

It was evident, the impact of this incident on him was considerable.

Lu Chuan took a deep breath.

He hadn’t expected Wan Changdong to be so audacious, daring to target Dongfang Cheng.

It seemed that Wan Changdong had resolved to force him into action.

Lu Chuan turned and walked towards the Manor Master’s residence.

Once back in the house, Lu Chuan picked up his Soul Terminating Sword and also took the Divine Tree branch with him, then prepared to leave.

Gu Xiaorou, who had prepared dinner, saw this and quickly stood up to walk over to Lu Chuan.

“What has happened?”

She sensed something was off as she saw Lu Chuan hurrying out the door.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Yes, something has happened.

Dongfang Cheng has been kidnapped.”

“Ah?” Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan in surprise, “Who would dare to kidnap him?”

“The City Lord, I guess.

There shouldn’t be anyone else.”

“The City Lord certainly wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.

If he did, there must be someone else emboldening him, giving him confidence!”

Gu Xiaorou speculated.

Lu Chuan nodded again, “That’s what I think too.

I’m about to go out now and demand an explanation from the City Lord.”

“It’s not about demanding an explanation anymore.

That guy deserves to die; he should have died a long time ago.

Even acting now might be too late.”

“With the City Lord’s death, Forest City will descend into chaos.”

Gu Xiaorou expressed her concern.

“No choice, now he’s brought it upon himself.

Even if I wanted to spare his life, he wouldn’t have that chance anymore.”

He slung the sword sheath over his shoulder and then walked out the main door.

Gu Xiaorou watched Lu Chuan’s retreating figure and reminded him, “Be careful, and watch out for their traps.”

“Don’t worry, I understand.”

Lu Chuan strode away from Lu Manor.

When she returned to her room, Gu Xiaorou sat at the dining table and continued her dinner.

She had just picked up a chopstick full of food when she listlessly set it back down.

“I hope he can come back safely.”

Gu Xiaosang, however, had a calm mindset and ate her meal indifferently, “Sister, you’re overthinking it.

Lu Chuan will definitely be able to kill that guy.”

“What Lu Chuan has to face now is an unknown enemy.

If he only had to deal with the City Lord, I wouldn’t worry.

I know his strength can surpass the City Lord.”

“But he has to face an unknown enemy.

We don’t know what that enemy looks like or how strong they are, so I’m worried.”

Gu Xiaosang furrowed her brows curiously, “A new enemy?

No wonder Wan Changdong suddenly got so confident.

It turns out he has the support of an expert.”

“Should we take the people from the manor to help?”

“No, we can’t be of help, and we might even cause more trouble.

Just eat well.”

Gu Xiaorou sighed helplessly and picked up her bowl to continue her dinner.

…

Meanwhile, as Lu Chuan stepped out of Lu Manor, Li Xunying followed by his side.

“Big brother, is it time to take action now?”

“Wan Changdong actually made a move on Dongfang Cheng.

Since that’s the case, I won’t indulge him anymore.”

Li Xunying warned, “He did it on purpose to lure us over.

If we rush over, it could be dangerous.”

Lu Chuan placed his hand on Li Xunying’s shoulder, “Dongfang Cheng has helped me a lot, how could I stand by and watch him die?”

“But you’ve also helped him a lot, according to logic, you’re squared away.”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “If I stand by and watch him die, who would want to cooperate with me in the future?

If Dongfang Cheng survives, how would he see me?

Let’s take action.

Even if we really encounter an insurmountable foe, I still have one last move.”

“Anyway, the two of us will not meet our end here!”

Lu Chuan walked toward the Inner City with Li Xunying following behind.

“Big brother, we’re both at the Martial Saint Realm.

Normally, we wouldn’t fear them, so why be so cautious?

Even if he finds an assistant, their strength wouldn’t be too great.

After all, if they were truly strong, they wouldn’t need to resort to such roundabout tactics.”

Lu Chuan continued forward, “No matter who is helping them, I have the capability to put them to death.

Rest assured, we won’t stop moving forward.”

“With those words from big brother, I’m reassured!”

Li Xunying closely followed Lu Chuan, and as dusk fell, the two arrived at the gates of the Inner City.

The City Guards, seeing Lu Chuan’s arrival, opened the way and opened the gates directly.

“I didn’t even ask, yet you’re very aware to open the gates.

It seems you all know what I’ve come here to do, right?”

Lu Chuan glanced at the guards with a look of disdain and continued through the gate.

The guards exchanged glances and laughed as if it meant nothing.

In their eyes, Lu Chuan entering this gate was akin to entering the Gates of Hell, never to return!

After Lu Chuan entered the Inner City, he noticed it had become much quieter.

Where one could usually see soldiers training, there wasn’t a single figure in sight today.

Lu Chuan walked onto the training grounds, an expansive open space, and from a distance, he spotted the figure of Wan Changdong.

He stood in place with arms wide open, laughing heartily towards Lu Chuan.

“Welcome, Young Master Lu.

I have waited so long and finally, you have arrived!”

He shouted excitedly.
