Chapter 865 - 865 820000 Uninvited Guest

865: Chapter 820000 Uninvited Guest 865: Chapter 820000 Uninvited Guest Zeng Tianqi’s corpse had turned into charred black coal, and the soldiers wearing silver armors hurried forward to collect it.

The onlookers were unavoidably shocked by the sight.

A Martial Emperor powerful expert was taken down by a casual punch—such a terrifying gap in strength.

This was the prowess of the Martial Saint Realm that everyone looked up to.

Among the attendees at the banquet, some of the City Guards were previously unconvinced by Su Qianming, the new City Lord, but after witnessing Lu Chuan’s brutal punch, they had no choice but to accept his authority.

The banquet proceeded quickly, followed by several performances, and after some lively conversations, it concluded in a hurry.

For everyone present, their purpose was merely to bear witness—to witness the change of rulership in Forest City.

The new ruler would be Su Qianming, but the true power would lie with Lu Chuan and, ultimately, the Lu family behind him.

As the crowd dispersed, Lu Chuan walked toward the city gates.

Su Qianming followed closely behind, his face adorned with a flattering smile.

“Young Master Lu, I really can’t thank you enough for today.

Without you, my authority might have been challenged.”

Standing at the city gate, Lu Chuan turned back to look at Su Qianming.

“Remember what you need to do.

Managing Forest City is one thing, but more importantly, you must be loyal to the Lu Manor.

Do not harbor any other crooked thoughts, otherwise, the consequences will be very grave.”

Su Qianming nodded repeatedly, “I will take this to heart and will definitely not have the slightest hint of disloyalty.”

“If I ever commit an act of betrayal, with your strength, you can easily annihilate the Su family.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Do you know what I’m afraid of?

It’s the day when my enemies find you, start to coerce and entice you, convincing you to join their camp and assuring you that they can definitely kill me.”

“At that time, you might waver.”

Su Qianming’s expression turned solemn, and he shook his head vigorously, “I won’t, absolutely not.

The lesson from Wan Changdong is before me, and I will definitely not make that mistake!”

“Good to know.

No matter what, if you betray, it means death.

Go back and rest, and tomorrow, you can enter the City Lord’s Mansion to begin your diligent work.”

Su Qianming breathed a sigh of relief, his smile returning, “Yes, I will work hard.”

Late at night, Lu Chuan and Li Xunying returned to the Lu Manor.

Lu Chuan went back to his room, washed up, and then went straight to sleep.

The next morning, as soon as Lu Chuan got up, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate and cultivate in tranquility.

Sitting cross-legged, the Divine Tree branch was placed in front of him, as a continuous stream of flawless Spiritual Energy surged out and was fully absorbed by Lu Chuan.

After absorbing the Spiritual Energy, Lu Chuan felt much more relaxed throughout his body.

At this moment, a knocking sound came from the door.

“Come in.”

Gu Xiaosang pushed the door and entered, swaying in, and then pulled up a chair to sit down.

“Is something wrong?”

“Can’t I come to see you if there’s nothing wrong?”

Gu Xiaosang spoke very casually.

“If it’s nothing, then get out.

I am cultivating.”

“Alright alright.

Someone is looking for you, actually.

My sister asked me to come and tell you.”

“Who is looking for me?”

Lu Chuan continued to ask.

“Who else could it be?

Dongfang Cheng, of course.

He’s here to see you.

He says he has something to discuss.”

Lu Chuan got up from the bed and walked out the door.

“I saw he was holding a letter in his hand.

Who do you think sent it?

Could it be from the main residence of the Dongfang family?

They must be enraged by the death of Dongfang Lian.

What if they send someone to investigate thoroughly?

Aren’t you worried?

If it’s found out, could our cooperation with the Dongfang family continue?”

“But you didn’t personally kill Dongfang Lian, so there’s no way to investigate, is there?”

“Hey, are you going to speak or what?”

Gu Xiaosang went on chattering incessantly by his side, which annoyed Lu Chuan.

“Enough, why are you so concerned?

Just go and cultivate properly, and stop bothering me.”

With a turn of her body, Gu Xiaosang left, scoffing disdainfully, “Who’d want to bother with you anyway.”

Lu Chuan arrived at the entrance of Lu Manor, where he saw Dongfang Cheng, who had been waiting there for some time.

“Young Master Dongfang, coming to see me so early in the morning, what’s the matter?”

“Lu Chuan, don’t you know?

Today people from the Nangong family are coming to Forest City.

The caravan is already on its way; we don’t know exactly when they’ll arrive.”

Lu Chuan quickly walked toward Dongfang Cheng, “People from the Nangong family?

What are they here for?”

“I’m not sure, maybe…

they are here to do business?

The Nangong family’s influence in the Kunlun Domain is quite significant as well.

If we can form a deep partnership with them, that would be very beneficial.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Do you know who is leading them?

Is it Nangong Lingya?”

“Nangong Lingya?

The eldest daughter of the Nangong family, you know her?”

Dongfang Cheng asked curiously.

“I’ve met her before, but we’re not close.

Is she the one coming?”

Dongfang Cheng shrugged helplessly, “I don’t know who exactly is coming, but this is a good opportunity.

Let’s get in touch with people from the Nangong family.”

“If we’re lucky, we might even be able to strike a deal with them.

That way, our power to confront the Lu family will be even stronger.”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “We’ll talk when they arrive.”

“Okay, then I’ll go back first.

I’ll keep an eye out for them and come find you as soon as they arrive.”

“No problem, thank you for your trouble.”

“It’s no trouble.

For the sake of our goal, this is nothing!”

He turned and left, and Lu Chuan also returned to the manor.

At that moment, Li Xunying came over.

“Big brother, are people from the Nangong family coming?”

“Yes, that’s what Dongfang Cheng said.

The exact time of their arrival is not yet clear.”

“He also said we should cooperate with the Nangong family?

We absolutely cannot do that!”

Li Xunying said anxiously.

If Lu Chuan were to cooperate with the Nangong family, would he continue to help him take revenge?

Probably not.

Lu Chuan understood his concerns and patted him on the shoulder, “When I, Lu Chuan, give my word, I mean it.

I promised to help you kill Nangong Qianying, and I will see it done.”

“This is an opportunity to learn more about the Nangong family.

Rest assured, I will indeed help you kill your enemy.

So for now, you should also help me.”

Relieved, Li Xunying nodded, “I believe you.

I will continue to work for you.”

Lu Chuan returned to the manor and continued his cultivation, until around three or four in the afternoon.

The caravan of the Nangong family gradually made its way into the city.

There were a total of seven horse-drawn carriages, moving slowly and attracting a crowd of onlookers.

The curtains on the carriages were light purple with some gold trim, oozing with luxury — clearly noble carriages, not something ordinary civilians could afford.

After the carriages entered, people from far away at the Dongfang Residence saw what was happening and turned to report back to the Dongfang Residence.

Upon learning the news, Dongfang Cheng immediately set out to find Lu Chuan.

What the Nangong family was coming to Forest City to do, Dongfang Cheng did not know, but he did know that he had to inform Lu Chuan of the news as soon as possible.

Now, the real controller of Forest City was Lu Chuan, so how to deal with the Nangong family’s visit was a decision that only Lu Chuan’s judgment could make the most important.
