888: Chapter 848 Bad News Spreading Frequently 888: Chapter 848 Bad News Spreading Frequently Late at night, within the Dongfang Residence, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng dined together at the same table.

“Day by day goes by, and this is no solution, we must find Li Xunying as soon as possible.”

Dongfang Cheng looked toward Lu Chuan and said.

“Of course, he has helped me a lot; naturally, I will go and rescue him.”

“If one day I were captured, would you also rescue me just the same?”

Dongfang Cheng asked curiously.

“Isn’t that a stupid question?

Haven’t I already saved you once?”

Dongfang Cheng smiled and nodded, “Yes, that’s right, I remember now.”

“Now that woman Nangong Lingya has left the city to find someone, those she brings back will certainly be top-notch experts.

We need to prepare for a great battle.”

Dongfang Cheng stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, muttering.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Of course I know, but it makes no difference who comes; the enemy is met with resistance, and the danger is repelled.”

At this moment, a servant burst in and quickly walked toward Dongfang Cheng.

“Young Master Dongfang, there is intelligence that has just come in.

Is now a good time?”

Dongfang Cheng put down his chopsticks and looked back, saying, “Just say it, what’s the news?”

“Just now, our people at the city gate have sent word, the carriage that left during the day has returned.”

“Returned?

It seems that Nangong Lingya brought people back.”

The servant nodded slightly, then continued, “That’s not all; our people also noticed that the coachman had been switched.”

Dongfang Cheng furrowed his brows, “Changed the coachman?

That’s strange, why would they change the coachman?”

“What does the new coachman look like?”

Dongfang Cheng continued to inquire.

“The new coachman, very unusual, wearing simple black robes, with no extra adornments on his body, slender in build, but the way he handles the reins is very strong.

According to our people, there seems to be an uncontainable aura of killing intent on that person, making it very apparent to anyone nearby.”

Dongfang Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Clearly this is no coachman, I think, this new coachman is the Nangong Teng who has come out of seclusion.”

“They have returned to the residence so quickly, it won’t be long before they make their move on us, and by then, it will be a fierce and exhilarating battle.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan, “Now, you have an opponent.”

Lu Chuan smiled, unconcerned, “One more makes for a better capture; with two together, I don’t believe we can’t find Li Xunying.”

“I must drive the Nangong family to absolute despair.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan and suggested, “How about we take the initiative and strike first, not giving them too much time.

They have many forces within the city, and if they set up any traps, it would be disadvantageous for us.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and said, “No problem, we’ll act tomorrow, not giving them too many chances.”

Dongfang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, “Good, then we’ll take action tomorrow.

If there’s anything you need help with, I and the Dongfang Residence will certainly help you!”

…

When night fell, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Nangong Residence.

As soon as they entered the Nangong Residence, dreadful news reached Nangong Lingya and Nangong Teng.

“Miss, there’s terrible news, we’ve just received word today, Huang Tianming is dead!”

Nangong Lingya looked at the caretaker in front of her and hastily asked, “Huang Tianming is dead?

How did he die?”

“He was killed by that person named Lu Chuan.

At the time, he was at the registration place for the Martial Path tournament, just about to sign up, when Lu Chuan ambushed him midway and directly ended his life!”

Nangong Lingya immediately clenched her fists, grinding her teeth as she said, “This bastard!

He’s too arrogant, truly not taking our Nangong family into account!”

“It’s not only Huang Tianming; several elders from the sect also died at his hands.

Now, the Fiery Sword Sect is basically no different from a dissolved state.”

“With the Sect Master and the elders killed, the Fiery Sword Sect, I’m afraid it’s done for.

The sect force we’ve painstakingly nurtured is going to be gone just like that.

It’s truly heartbreaking.”

“Now, this man named Lu Chuan keeps attacking us, persecuting our interests, killing our people.

Everyone in the city is laughing at us.

If we don’t take action, all the major powers in the city will think that our influence has waned and that our doom is imminent!”

He exclaimed in sorrow.

At this moment, Nangong Teng stepped forward and came to Nangong Lingya’s side, patted her back, and said, “Don’t be angry.

Leave this matter to me.

I’ll be the one to end this enemy.

Our Nangong family has stood unshaken in Beihe City; it’s impossible to be completely destroyed by this person.

Rest assured, leave it to me, and I will take care of it perfectly.

You, continue to manage the business affairs.”

“What if you can’t handle it?”

Nangong Lingya asked.

“You’re still worried that he alone could annihilate the Nangong Residence?

If it really comes to that, let father handle it, and if that doesn’t work, let grandfather take over.

We have plenty of ways to deal with this fellow.”

“For now, leave him to me; I’ll take care of him.”

Nangong Teng said with utter confidence.

“We need an opportunity for you to face Lu Chuan personally and challenge him to a duel.

He’s currently in the Dongfang Residence.

If we force our way in, we might offend the Dongfang Residence,”

said Nangong Lingya with some concern.

She was still very worried about the power of the Dongfang family.

If they mobilized their forces and attacked the Dongfang Residence, although it was not impossible, it would provoke the Dongfang family, and then they might have to face the wrath of the Dongfang clan.

“No need to worry about that.

Tomorrow, I’ll take people to their doorstep and call him out.

If he has the courage to come out and fight, then he’s skilled.”

“If he doesn’t have the courage, then we’ll just surround the entrance of the Dongfang Residence.

We won’t have to fight our way in.”

“Alright, I trust you.

In that case, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Nangong Lingya trusted her brother deeply and decided to leave the matter for Nangong Teng to handle personally.

Nangong Teng raised his hand and touched Nangong Lingya’s head, smiling as he said, “Whoever dares to be an enemy of the Nangong family, I will make sure they have no place to be buried.”

…

The next morning arrived.

Lu Chuan got up and went to the courtyard, ready to have breakfast.

The servant had prepared breakfast, placed on the table.

Lu Chuan sat down and was about to eat.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks and was about to grab the scrambled eggs on the plate, he heard Dongfang Cheng’s voice.

His voice arrived before he did.

“Young Master Lu, there’s big trouble!”

He walked over quickly, approached Lu Chuan, and said, gasping for breath, “There’s been an incident!”

“Take it easy, what happened?”

After sitting down next to Lu Chuan, Dongfang Cheng said, “The gates are surrounded by a crowd.

Someone at the gate is challenging you, saying they want a one-on-one duel with you, a fair fight!”

“That person is probably Nangong Teng, the one Nangong Lingya called upon.

Without a word, he just came over to challenge you today, demanding a fight!”
