Chapter 897 - 897 857 Intercepting the Caravan

897: Chapter 857: Intercepting the Caravan 897: Chapter 857: Intercepting the Caravan Lu Chuan looked at the five horse-drawn carriages in front of him, scratched his head, and felt somewhat puzzled.

“When did these people get the information?

Could it be that they saw us leaving the city and that the Nangong family tipped them off in advance so they could escape?”

Lu Chuan turned to Dongfang Cheng and said, “Never mind that, let’s see if the goods are still in the carriages.

We’ll take everything on the list.”

“Okay, I see a few boxes on top, which might contain some valuable items.”

He hastily boarded the carriage and opened the wooden crates.

Inside the simple wooden crates were some basic Spirit Stones, containing Spiritual Energy, which could help cultivators replenish their internal Spiritual Energy.

Dongfang Cheng, holding a notebook in one hand, opened the wooden crates with the other, and began to inventory the items inside.

It took him almost half an hour before he came down from the carriage and walked towards Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, I’ve finished the count.

There are a total of 5,000 Spirit Stones, 3,000 taels of Gold, and some precious items.”

“Including some spirit grade healing elixirs, detoxification pills, and the like.”

“Any valuable items?” asked Lu Chuan.

“Yes, one of the elixir pills is a Heavenly Spirit Pill, much stronger than the Heavenly Essence Pill and of good quality; it can be used to help Martial Emperor Realm warriors break through their own Realms.”

Lu Chuan dismounted and walked toward Dongfang Cheng.

In Dongfang Cheng’s hand was an exquisitely made small jade vial.

Three large characters were carved on the vial: Heavenly Spirit Pill.

“This elixir pill is used for breaking through Realms.

I think it was probably intended to assist Nangong Teng.”

“In that case, I’ll take it first.”

Lu Chuan took the small jade vial.

Dongfang Cheng was still in the Martial King Realm; for now, he could only use a Heavenly Essence Pill at best.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill was not yet within his reach.

“Take the rest of the items back to the Dongfang Residence,” Lu Chuan instructed.

“With so many items, this is a considerable fortune.

The Nangong family is really going to feel the pain this time.”

Dongfang Cheng said with a smile, then headed towards the front of the convoy.

After taking the driver’s seat, he started driving the first carriage forward.

The carriages behind, though unmanned, closely followed the first, maintaining a consistent speed.

As Lu Chuan watched the convoy proceed along the road towards Beihe City, he was about to mount his horse when he suddenly saw a piece of paper on the roadside.

Lu Chuan stopped the action of mounting and walked to the roadside to pick up the paper.

Upon closer inspection, the sender of the message was Nangong Tian.

Nangong Tian’s letter had somehow been delivered here at this time.

Clearly, he had used a Myriad Realms Bird to transmit the message, just in time before Lu Chuan arrived, passing the intel on.

After receiving the message, these people hastily fled, leaving the carriages behind.

Lu Chuan silently read the contents of the letter.

“To the leader of the caravan, from the moment you receive this letter, immediately turn back.

Keep away from Beihe City.

Approaching Beihe City will put your life at risk.

The Nangong family’s assets and influence in Beihe City are now under enemy control.”

“I have made preparations to deal with the enemy.

Once you receive this letter, return immediately.

I will personally lead a team to eradicate the reckless foe!”

After reading, Lu Chuan crumpled the letter into a small ball and tossed it into the nearby grass.

“Made preparations, have you?

Then bring it on.”

Lu Chuan said disdainfully and walked toward the black horse.

After mounting, he quickly returned to Beihe City.

Many passers-by in the city, upon seeing the Nangong family’s carriages, started to talk among themselves.

“Isn’t that the Nangong family’s caravan?”

“Yeah, why are they delivering goods at this time?

Doesn’t the Nangong family know what happened here?”

“Perhaps the message wasn’t passed quickly enough, the caravan was still caught.”

“Look, there’s no one on the carriage, just a single person, and it’s someone from the Dongfang family.”

“Oh man, the Dongfang family is going to make a fortune now, there must be plenty of good stuff on this carriage!”

“The Nangong family’s merchant caravan, how could it lack valuable goods?

However, I think everyone else from the caravan has escaped, probably only the less precious items are left on the carriage.”

“Heh, maybe not a few things, but they’ll definitely get their hands on the Spirit Stones and gold, those are the hardest to move.”

“Indeed, even if the precious goods were taken, the remaining wealth is still enough for a huge profit.”

“The once glorious Nangong family has come to such a pass, it truly is lamentable.”

“Don’t rush to conclusions, the outcome has yet to be determined.”

“True, the real strength of the Nangong family hasn’t been displayed yet, who wins and who loses is still unclear.”

Lu Chuan rode his horse through the streets, completely disregarding the discussions of these people.

After returning to the Dongfang Residence, Dongfang Ming quickly came out to welcome Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, you’ve returned so soon, how did it go?

Where is Young Master Dongfang Cheng?”

He asked anxiously.

Lu Chuan dismounted and quickly walked into the residence.

“We’ve brought back the merchant caravan, all the people from the Nangong family who were escorting the carriages have fled, they received the message in advance and escaped, abandoning the carriages.”

“Quick, send a few people to help Young Master Dongfang Cheng bring the carriages in.”

Dongfang Ming nodded repeatedly, “Okay, no problem.”

He waved at the caretaker again to entrust this task to him.

Lu Chuan sat at the table and drank a cup of tea.

Then he stood up and walked straight towards the small black room.

Pushing open the door and walking in, he saw Nangong Lingya tied up tightly and lying on the bed, her eyes staring at the ceiling, always with tears in them.

“How does it feel?”

Lu Chuan walked over, but Nangong Lingya said nothing.

“A branch of your Nangong family’s merchant caravan was supposed to arrive at Beihe City today, coming from Tiannan City.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Lingya suddenly widened her eyes, then turned her head to look at Lu Chuan.

“What have you done to them?”

Only now did she suddenly remember about receiving a delivery of goods from a merchant caravan.

“They’ve all run away, and we took down the carriages; Young Master Dongfang Cheng is currently on his way back with several carriages.”

“They received the message sent by your father in advance, delivered by a Myriad Realms Bird.”

“By the time they got the message, they were already not far from Beihe City, so they immediately abandoned the carriages and fled.”

“That’s good, I’m glad no one died,” Nangong Lingya said with a relieved sigh.

Lu Chuan drew out the Soul Terminating Sword and placed it on Nangong Lingya’s body.

“Your father, Nangong Tian, what is his strength?

Tell me.”

Lu Chuan asked.

“You don’t need to know my father’s strength, you just need to know that he can kill you.”

“Are you so confident in your father’s strength?

Then what exactly is his strength?

What grade is he in the Martial Saint Realm?”

“Definitely not Grade 1, if it was Grade 1, the fight would be too easy.”

“Grade 2, Grade 3?

If it’s Grade 3, I might still be able to take on the challenge, but anything higher would probably be out of reach.”

Nangong Lingya suddenly burst into laughter, “Hahahaha, are you dreaming?

A Grade 1 Martial Saint like you going against a Grade 3?

You’re simply asking for death, a Grade 3 Martial Saint could easily cripple you!”
