Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 871 - 871 831 The Only Antidote

871: Chapter 831 The Only Antidote 871: Chapter 831 The Only Antidote Lu Chuan’s words completely terrified Nangong Heng, who quickly pleaded for mercy, “Big brother, there are some things I truly cannot reveal.

Please spare me; even if I talked, the family clan wouldn’t let me off the hook.”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly, “Since either way you’re going to die, you might as well die at my hands then.

However, I’ll make sure your death is slow and much more painful, how about that?”

“Would you prefer to die at my hands or at the hands of your Nangong family?

Name one and let me hear it.”

At Lu Chuan’s words, Nangong Heng was clearly troubled, unsure of which option to choose.

“Dongfang Cheng, let’s go back.

When the time comes, we’ll call over the most ruthless person from your family clan and I’ll call someone from Lu Manor as well.

We’ll torture this guy together; I refuse to believe he can keep being stubborn!”

Hearing this, Dongfang Cheng promptly nodded, “No problem, let’s go back now.

I’ll immediately find someone to take care of this guy!”

Dongfang Cheng agreed readily with a nod of his head.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Heng trembled all over, nearly bursting into tears.

He was terrified at the thought of the torture he would have to endure in the future.

After an internal struggle, he completely gave in.

He nodded helplessly and said, “Both of you, I’ll talk.

Ask whatever you want to ask, I’ll tell you everything!”

He said helplessly, at that moment, he was completely despondent.

He knew death was inevitable, but instead of being tortured to death, he’d rather die swiftly.

“You know what’s good for you.

Now, spill everything you know.”

“First off, why did you stop here for a while?”

Lu Chuan asked.

At this question, Nangong Heng trembled, having not expected Lu Chuan to be so attentive to detail and notice this particular one.

“I stopped at the inn just to rest for a bit…”

“Bullshit, rest?

You’ve only been out for a short while and you need to rest?

It looks to me like you were meeting someone.”

“Still not being honest, huh?

If that’s the case, there’s no point in talking nonsense with you!”

Frightened, Nangong Heng started begging for mercy.

“Please, I’m telling the truth.

Spare me, I’ll definitely tell the truth, no more nonsense.”

After taking a deep breath, he said helplessly, “The person I met here was Nangong Lingya.

I’ve heard you’ve met her already.”

“She dared not face you and hastily fled, instructing me to stop you.”

Lu Chuan grabbed him, pressing on, “Keep talking, why did she come to meet you?

What did you discuss at the meeting?

Was this scheme orchestrated by her?”

“I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything.”

“This plan was indeed devised by her, which is why she was here waiting for me to come out and report the outcome.”

“But in reality, the one who really carried out the order was Nangong Qianying.

I’m telling you everything now, can you spare me?

Nangong Qianying, he’s still alive.

Even though he’s over a hundred years old, he’s still very vigorous.”

“The one he’s targeting is that person called Li Xunying by your side.

They have had conflicts, deep grievances, resulting in an irreconcilable state.”

“As soon as Nangong Qianying found out that Li Xunying was still alive, he immediately decided to root him out without leaving any chances, so he sent Nangong Lingya to deal with this matter.”

Lu Chuan continued to interrogate, “The poison, it was given by Nangong Qianying, right?

Does he have the antidote as well?”

“Exactly, the antidote is in Nangong Qianying’s hands.

We only received the poison, so if you want to save him, you’ll need to find Nangong Qianying.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and let go of his neck.

He clutched at his neck, gasping for air, which made him feel much better.

Raising his head, he looked at Lu Chuan, “I’ve said everything I need to say, can you spare me now?”

“Spare you?

Not yet, I need to know, what exactly is the effect of this poison?”

“The poison will last for half a month.

During this time, the Divine Soul will continuously suffer erosion until it finally perishes, leading to complete death.”

“And for those whose Divine Souls are already unstable, that time is estimated to be halved.”

Lu Chuan said solemnly, “So that means in one week’s time, Li Xunying will die?”

“Correct, he will die after a week.

If the antidote can be found within this time frame, there’s still hope for him.

If not, then we’re in trouble.”

“Take him back, and then we’ll set out to find that Nangong Qianying.”

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng as he spoke.

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “Since that’s the case, let’s mount up and head back to the city first.

We can discuss this matter slowly; there’s still enough time.”

Dongfang Cheng turned around to mount his horse, and Lu Chuan also got up on his.

As for Nangong Heng, he mounted his own horse.

“Lead the way back, and if you dare change direction on the way, I will kill you.”

“No problem, I absolutely won’t try to escape; even if you lent me the courage, I wouldn’t dare.”

After he got on his horse, he led the way forward.

The three of them began their return journey.

On the way, Lu Chuan asked him, “Do you know the exact location of Nangong Qianying?”

“I don’t know.

He’s always been secretive, and most people don’t know where he is.”

“Does Nangong Lingya know?”

“The young miss, she definitely knows, I guess.”

Lu Chuan nodded, “In that case, lead us to find Nangong Lingya.

After we find her, I will then look for Nangong Qianying.”

“No matter what, the Nangong family has provoked me, and I will not let you go.”

Nangong Heng nodded helplessly, “I know…

the Nangong family really has hit a tough spot this time.”

“So, tell me, where is Nangong Lingya?”

Nangong Heng nodded slightly and continued, “If nothing unexpected happens, she should have returned to Beihe City.”

“Beihe City?

Is it far from here?”

“Not very far.

That place is rather ordinary, not a big city, but it’s rich in Spiritual Energy.

Many on the Martial Path gather there to devote themselves to cultivation.”

“Let’s go back to prepare, and then we’ll head to Beihe City.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded, “No problem, our Dongfang family has influence there too.

Once we’re there, we won’t have to worry about a place to stay.”

“Good, now let’s go back and prepare immediately, then set out without any further delays!”

After the three returned to the city, they rode all the way to Lu Manor.

At the entrance of Lu Manor, Gu Xiaorou had been waiting all this while.

Gu Xiaosang stood by her side, constantly persuading her to go back and rest.

When Gu Xiaorou saw Lu Chuan’s figure returning, a smile instantly appeared on her face.

“Lu Chuan, you’re finally back.”

“I said I’d be back before dark, why bother waiting for me at the door?”

Lu Chuan dismounted and walked inside.

“How are things?

Do we have the antidote?”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “No antidote.

I need to make a trip to Beihe City to find it.”
