We came here this time specifically to deal with the Nangong family—They have crossed us!”

It was only then that Dongfang Ming shifted his gaze onto Lu Chuan.

He curiously sized him up and then asked, “And this is…

your friend?”

“Exactly, his name is Lu Chuan.”

“Surname Lu?”

He furrowed his brows in confusion.

Dongfang Cheng hurriedly explained, “Even though his surname is Lu, he is actually an enemy of the Lu family.

The enemy of our enemy is our friend, which is why I joined forces with him.”

“My current target not only includes dealing with the Lu family but also the Nangong family.”

Dongfang Ming was still uneasy.

He took Dongfang Cheng’s hand and led him aside.

“Do you really know his background?

Is he the one who asked you to deal with the Nangong family?

I’m worried you’re being used by him.”

Dongfang Cheng quickly explained, “Brother Ming, you really misunderstand.

I have collaborated with Lu Chuan for a long time now; we trust each other.”

“Do you still remember Myriad Stars City?

That’s also under our Dongfang Family’s domain.

There, he annihilated the entire Lu Manor, not leaving a single person alive, and then our family took over all the Lu Manor’s assets!”

“Just for this great favor alone, we shouldn’t doubt him!”

Dongfang Ming furrowed his brows and shook his head, sighing, “He actually annihilated Lu Manor?

Are you kidding me?

Do you know the strength of Lu Manor?

Could it be that he did it with the help of the Dongfang family?”

“No, he wiped out Lu Manor by himself, without needing any help from the Dongfang family!”

These words made Dongfang Ming inhale sharply.

“Although this is incredible and hard to believe, since it’s you saying this, I still believe you.”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll trust you!”

Dongfang Cheng brought Dongfang Ming back to Lu Chuan.

“This is my Brother Ming, very good to me.

We are close friends, and even though he’s a distant relative, he’s much closer to me than even my sister and I are.”

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, extending his hand to shake hands with Dongfang Ming.

“Nice to meet you, Dongfang Ming.

I am Lu Chuan, pardon my boldness in asking, but where exactly is the Nangong family located?”

Dongfang Ming was somewhat surprised by Lu Chuan’s urgency and then asked, “You aren’t planning to confront them now, are you?”

Lu Chuan just smiled lightly, “Not necessarily, but I am just collecting some information about them for now.”

“They are located right in the center of the city.

I can take you there tomorrow to see.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then continued asking, “Also, can you arrange a meeting with Nangong Lingya?”

Dongfang Ming shook his head slightly and laughed awkwardly, “Nangong Lingya is the Nangong family’s eldest daughter.

I definitely can’t arrange that.

Maybe Dongfang Cheng could try, but there’s hardly any connection between Nangong Lingya and Young Master Dongfang Cheng, so it would probably be difficult.”

Lu Chuan nodded again, then continued, “Do you know about the Fiery Sword Sect?

Is this sect located here?”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ming furrowed his brows again, “Fiery Sword Sect?

What do you want with them?”

“I’m not in a hurry to move against the Nangong family just yet.

I hope to have them fall into chaos first, so before that, I plan to annihilate the Fiery Sword Sect.

I heard they were supported by the Nangong family, right?”

Dongfang Ming nodded repeatedly, “Indeed, the Fiery Sword Sect was supported by the Nangong family, with the sole purpose of sending their most talented swordsmen to serve as enforcers for the family after graduation.”

“Where exactly is the Fiery Sword Sect located?”

“They have locations both inside and outside of the Inner City…

what are you planning?”

Dongfang Ming looked at Lu Chuan with a nervous expression, truly fearing that Lu Chuan might immediately move to annihilate the Fiery Sword Sect.

“The Fiery Sword Sect is formidable, and it might be difficult for you alone.”

“Since the Nangong family has strong influence in Beihe City, it’s better to avoid them if it’s not necessary.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Let’s rest tonight then discuss it tomorrow morning.”

Dongfang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, “Come on, I’ll show you to a guest room where you can stay.”

He brought Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng to a quadrangle, arranged the east and west wing rooms, and had them settle in.

Lu Chuan had just arrived in Beihe City today, and since he didn’t understand the city yet, he could only go to bed early, planning to continue discussion tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Lu Chuan got up early and came to the courtyard.

He just happened to see Dongfang Cheng sitting in the courtyard eating breakfast.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan, Dongfang Cheng quickly got up and waved to him.

“Come over and eat some breakfast first,” he said, “after eating, we can go take action.”

Lu Chuan sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began eating breakfast.

“Have you thought of a plan for today?

Who are we dealing with first?”

Dongfang Cheng asked.

“We’re going to the Fiery Sword Sect, destroy them, and send a warning to the Nangong family.

I want them to know the cost of provoking me.”

“No problem,” Dongfang Cheng responded.

“After breakfast, I’ll take you there.”

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng hurriedly finished their breakfast.

Lu Chuan slung his Soul Terminating Sword onto his back and prepared to leave.

Leaving the Dongfang Residence, the two walked along the streets.

They headed towards the center of the city.

“What’s the Fiery Sword Sect like in Beihe City?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“Here, they’re just a small agency, responsible for selecting young men and women in the city who are suitable for sword cultivation and sending them to the main location of the Fiery Sword Sect outside the city.”

“You know, sects generally are built in places with few people and abundant Spiritual Energy, and the Fiery Sword Sect is no exception.”

“Alright, then let’s go there,” Lu Chuan said.

The two quickly made their way through the streets, which became busier as they approached the city center.

In the bustling flow of people, laughter, noise, and discussion were non-stop.

Soon, Lu Chuan arrived in front of a shop.

In front of the shop, there was a wooden notice board displaying information about the recruitment of disciples by the Fiery Sword Sect.

Looking up, he could see the plaques of the Fiery Sword Sect.

At the entrance, a person walked towards Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng.

“Are you two interested in our Fiery Sword Sect?” he asked.

Seeing the Soul Terminating Sword on Lu Chuan’s back, he immediately assumed Lu Chuan was a swordsman who had come to join their sect.

“Interested, certainly interested,” Lu Chuan replied.

At this, the person at the door smiled.

“Is that so?

Then come in first, let me introduce you to our Fiery Sword Sect,” he said.

Lu Chuan continued, “I’m only interested in how to annihilate the Fiery Sword Sect, everything else doesn’t concern me!”

At these words, the other’s smile froze, and his expression became stiff.

He turned back to look at Lu Chuan.

“Young man, what are you talking about?

You want to annihilate the Fiery Sword Sect?

Did I hear you wrong?

Or are you insane?” he asked.

He walked towards Lu Chuan, “If that’s the case, then I must extinguish you here to prevent any potential threats to our sect.”
