They’re pretty fast.

Where are they now?”

“It’s an advance team, here to scope out the situation and report back.

The real main force is still behind,” he said.

Lu Chuan laughed and asked again, “The main force?

Are they bringing a lot of people this time?”

Dongfang Cheng sighed and nodded his head, saying, “Yes, indeed, a considerable number of people are coming.

After all, this is a big deal.

It’s only right for them to pay full attention to it!”

“You’ve captured their children, which is to seize the lifeline of the Nangong family.

It’s undoubtedly a fatal blow to them, a huge strike at the very lifeline of their family!”

“So, they first settled their affairs within the city and then did everything they could to gather all their available manpower to deal with this matter.”

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, as the situation seemed to have become dangerous.

“So, has the advance team already arrived?”

Dongfang Cheng nodded, looking very seriously at Lu Chuan, “They’ve arrived.

We need to prepare ourselves.

This time, our Dongfang family is also under considerable pressure.

If they successfully settle scores, they definitely won’t spare our Dongfang Residence.”

“Perhaps, with the support of our family’s influence, we might cope a bit better, but for you, it will probably be difficult.”

After deep consideration, Lu Chuan nodded firmly.

“I understand.

This matter must be handled cautiously.

The adversaries are not only numerous but also include many powerful individuals.

If not handled properly, one might fall right here.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes fixed on Dongfang Cheng, “Your task is simple, help me control Nangong Teng and Nangong Lingya.

That shouldn’t be too difficult, should it?”

Puffing out his chest proudly, Dongfang Cheng boasted, “Such a trivial matter is not a problem for us.

Rest assured.”

“Good, I trust you!”

…

Meanwhile, an advance team from the Nangong family had arrived in the city.

A small squad moved down the main thoroughfare, riding towards the Nangong Residence.

At the very front of the team, one rider held high the Nangong family’s banner, making a grand entrance into the city and drawing the attention and gaze of those around.

This team comprised over a hundred people, with a robust man in black and gold armor leading them at the front.

With two heavy swords hanging at his side, his imposing and stalwart demeanor, along with a killing aura emanating through the cold armor, enveloped the surroundings.

The residents of Beihe City all respectfully looked up, watching this martial general.

The military forces of the Nangong family had been mobilized.

Their purpose for coming to this place was clear to everyone in the city—to confront Lu Chuan.

The team moved impressively down the avenue.

Where they passed, no one dared to linger; all made way to avoid them.

Soon, the advance team arrived at the gates of the Nangong Residence.

Upon hearing the news of the arrival of the Nangong family’s forces, the caretaker of the residence hurriedly rushed out.

Seeing the martial general and the Nangong family’s banner, he immediately knelt down with a thump, weeping profusely.

“Honorable sirs, you’ve finally come to Beihe City.

Villains have wronged our Nangong family, leaving us unable to fight back, already suffering heavy losses!” he wailed.

The martial general dismounted and took off his helmet, revealing a fierce face underneath.

This was a standard square-jawed face with three horizontal scars that looked as if they were clawed by a giant bear.

He stared at the kneeling caretaker and asked in a cold voice, “The current situation of the Nangong family, tell me everything, leave nothing out!”

“It’s like this, my lord, please listen to me slowly.

That bastard named Lu Chuan, he first captured Nangong Teng, then Nangong Lingya, and now he has even led people to loot our storerooms empty.

We have not only lost our two pillars, but now our very foundations have been hollowed out!”

“Moreover, he killed our Chief Caretaker and a group of core figures from the Fiery Sword Sect.

Now our Nangong family in Beihe City is utterly powerless to fight back!”

“If you had not come, that guy would really have taken over our nest and taken everything from our family!”

He cried out, suddenly remembering something, and hastily asked, “By the way, has the Family Head arrived?”

The martial general said in a deep voice, “He’ll arrive later!”

“The guy you’re talking about named Lu Chuan, is he from the Lu family?”

“If he’s from the Lu family, that might be a bit tricky.”

The caretaker hurriedly shook his head and said, “Miss Lingya has already gathered his information.

He’s not from the Lu family; on the contrary, he’s the enemy of the Lu family.

In the Kunlun Domain, only the Dongfang family is supporting him; they are his backers.”

“I see.

This guy must be no ordinary individual, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it this far.

This kid actually being an enemy of the Lu family alone proves that he is quite extraordinary.”

“But what of it?

He hasn’t experienced my strength, Nangong Hu.

If he encounters me, he’ll have no choice but to be killed.”

“Where is he now?”

The caretaker panicked and asked nervously, “You…

You’re not thinking of fighting him, are you?”

“Of course, he’s causing trouble here, and as a warrior of the Nangong family, it’s my duty to execute him.

Otherwise, I’d be unworthy of my title.”

“Where is he now?”

The caretaker furrowed his brows, pondering for a moment before speaking helplessly, “Dongfang Residence and Lu Manor, both are possibilities.

In the afternoon, he just led the people from Lu Manor to plunder our storerooms empty.

Now, he should be at Lu Manor, counting the spoils.”

Nangong Hu sneered, “He’s quite audacious.

Since that’s the case, let me go meet him!”

The caretaker hastily asked, “Lord Nangong Hu, do you know that Nangong Teng has recently broken through to the Martial Saint Realm?”

“Is that so?

That’s excellent news.

He is the future successor of our Nangong family.

If he can break through to the Martial Saint Realm sooner, our Nangong family’s further advancement won’t be impossible.”

“What I mean to say is, he has broken through to the Martial Saint Realm but is still no match for Lu Chuan.

He was defeated thoroughly.”

“So, if you’re going to fight Lu Chuan, you’ll need at least the strength of the Martial Saint Realm!”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Hu’s brow furrowed tightly, and he stroked his chin, lost in thought for a long time.

“Have you…

broken through to the Martial Saint Realm?”

The caretaker looked up at him, asking cautiously.

Nangong Hu pursed his lips and said helplessly, “I am currently at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, still a far cry from the Martial Saint Realm.”

“If that’s the case, then this Lu Chuan, I’m afraid, can only be dealt with after the Family Head arrives.”

He touched his forehead, looking somewhat embarrassed and helpless.

He had just uttered harsh words, and now he had to back down, which was truly embarrassing.

But there was no helping it.

A Martial Emperor going up against someone of Martial Saint strength was practically tantamount to courting death.
