909: Chapter 869: Intercept Midway 909: Chapter 869: Intercept Midway In the courtyard of Lu Manor, Lu Tianyu approached Lu Chuan closely, nervously asking, “They hurried to meet early in the morning, they must be planning something, right?”

“With a large army attacking from outside the city, and the City Lord collaborating from within, this situation is simply too disadvantageous for us!”

“What should we do?

Our current situation is extremely dangerous!”

“They’re definitely plotting a plan to completely eradicate us, not giving us any chance to escape!”

Lu Tianyu paced anxiously back and forth, his heart filled with intense tension.

Lu Chuan looked towards Dongfang Cheng and continued, “I don’t think it’s that complicated.

Nangong Tian called him out early in the morning likely as a preparation for his entry into the city, otherwise, he could have just waited to call Xu Zhi after entering the city.”

“I have two speculations, let me tell you about them.”

Lu Chuan continued, “First, Nangong Tian had him go out to lead a team to act first to weaken our forces, making it easier for them to deal with us upon their arrival, based on Nangong Tian being cautiously cautious.”

“Second, he directly had the City Lord return to surround the city with troops.

Upon their entry, they could catch us in the trap, preventing the enemy from escaping.

He intends to start a massacre within the city for the sake of avenging his children.”

“The second is based on him being arrogant enough to assume that he can definitely kill me, as long as I can’t escape.”

After listening, Dongfang Cheng’s brows furrowed tightly as he thought seriously.

“Both situations are possible, so how should we respond?”

Lu Chuan laughed, “Respond to what?

Just find Xu Zhi and kill him.”

“He should be on his way back now, right?

He doesn’t need to travel with Nangong Tian into the city.”

“And what do you mean by that?”

Lu Chuan stood up, “We go to the north of the city now, intercept Xu Zhi, and kill him directly.”

Dongfang Cheng quickly nodded, “No problem, let’s move out now!”

Lu Tianyu, watching the two, curiously asked, “This… are we going to fight them now?

The City Lord, Xu Zhi, is quite a figure, is it really okay to just kill him off casually?”

Lu Chuan patted his shoulder and said, “Continue to manage the affairs inside the manor.

Some matters, you need not worry about.”

Lu Chuan quickly turned and left the place.

Seeing the figures of Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng, Lu Tianyu became intensely anxious.

“Lu Chuan, I’ve put everything on you now, whether I should follow you depends on this crisis!”

…

At the entrance of Lu Manor, Lu Chuan mounted his horse and quickly headed toward the north of the city.

The two rode together without stopping along the way.

After nearing the main road by the city gate, they dismounted the horses and tied them in an alley before returning to the main road.

Since it was early morning and near the city gate, a remote location, there were very few pedestrians, almost none.

Lu Chuan stood in the middle of the road, his arms crossed in front of him, waiting calmly and composedly.

About a hundred meters ahead at the gate of the city, a figure slowly came into view.

After entering on horseback, the person quickened his pace.

Soon, Xu Zhi saw Lu Chuan’s figure on the road ahead.

He squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the figure of Lu Chuan ahead.

When he recognized that it was Lu Chuan, his eyes widened in shock.

He forcefully pulled on the reins, causing the horse to rear up, issuing a series of neighs.

Staring at Lu Chuan’s figure, he nervously swallowed.

He slowly rode forward, knowing that this time, he couldn’t avoid it.

He hadn’t expected Lu Chuan would be waiting for him here.

He rode his horse slowly up to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan looked at him and said, “You are quite astute.

Dismount now.”

Xu Zhi took a deep breath, then dismounted, dropped the reins, and walked slowly toward Lu Chuan.

His steps were very heavy, his head bowed slightly as if he did not want to face reality.

He arrived in front of Lu Chuan, “This counts as our first meeting, right?”

“Ever since you arrived in Beihe City, I have fallen asleep night after night listening to your great fame.

Now in Beihe City, your reputation is well-known; no one is ignorant of it.”

“Now that you’ve stopped me, what do you intend to do?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous.

I just wanted to ask, what were you doing leaving the city?”

“I didn’t do much.

I had relatives from afar coming, so I went out to meet them.”

“Where are those relatives?”

“He realized he left his belongings at the station, so he went back.”

Lu Chuan laughed disdainfully, “Such a poor lie.

Are you trying to insult me with it?”

Xu Zhi laughed awkwardly, raised his hands, and said innocently, “I was just trying it out; don’t take it to heart.”

“This Beihe City, gathering more and more big shots, here I am, a Martial Emperor Realm’s City Lord, not playing any critical role.”

Lu Chuan slightly shook his head, “You can’t say that.

As the City Lord, you still play a significant role, otherwise Nangong Tian wouldn’t have called you out.”

“Hehe, what exactly do you want from me?

You’ve provoked Nangong Tian, and your fate is already sealed.”

Xu Zhi continued, “How about I give you a chance right now?

You can leave Beihe City through the city gate behind me.”

“Then, you can escape.

The Nangong family definitely won’t catch you because, after all, they’ll have to rescue their own people first.”

“This is your last chance.

If you cherish it, there’s still a chance for you to survive.”

“Lu Chuan, you need to think this through.

This is a matter of life and death for you!”

“I’ll tell you straight, Nangong Tian called me out, and his purpose is simple: to surround this city to prevent your escape.

Now, if you escape directly, I’ll just say that you received a tip-off in advance and ran away.”

“At that time, both you and I will retreat in full piece, without any danger.”

“You can flee anywhere they absolutely won’t catch up to you.”

He looked at Lu Chuan seriously; clearly, he intended to persuade Lu Chuan to give up.

Only then would he have a path to survival.

Otherwise, he was certain to die by Lu Chuan’s hand.

Lu Chuan laughed scornfully, “You can even say such things; it seems your will to survive is strong.”

“So, the bastard did send you to surround the city.

Since you are his tool, I see no need to spare you now.”

Lu Chuan drew the Soul Terminating Sword!

Seeing the situation turn dire, Xu Zhi kept stepping back, his eyes fixed heavily on Lu Chuan.

“Lu Chuan, you better think this through; this is your final chance.

Do you really think you can do whatever you want within Beihe City, and still act as you please in front of Nangong Tian?”

“Face the reality!

Lu Chuan advanced toward him with the sword.

Seeing this, Xu Zhi clenched his teeth, gripped his fists tightly, kept retreating, and continually warned Lu Chuan.
