Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 922 - 922 882 Cultivating on the Mountain

922: Chapter 882: Cultivating on the Mountain 922: Chapter 882: Cultivating on the Mountain By the next morning, Lu Chuan got out of bed and prepared to set out with his belongings.

He mounted a swift horse within the Dongfang Residence and was ready to leave the place.

Riding along the streets toward the north of the city, many people took notice of Lu Chuan.

Their attitudes toward Lu Chuan were complex, some admired him greatly, others were extremely afraid, and some felt deep gratitude toward him, simply because he was the enemy of the Nangong family.

When Lu Chuan arrived at the northern gate of the city, the guards stationed there, seeing it was Lu Chuan coming, opened the gates without any hesitation, not daring to slack off.

Lu Chuan passed through the city gate and left Beihe City.

Tiger Head Mountain was more than twenty miles away from Beihe City, and it wouldn’t take long to reach with a fast horse and a whip.

By nearly noon, Lu Chuan saw a range of continuous mountains.

At the foot of the mountains, Lu Chuan found a teahouse.

The teahouse was situated by the roadside, with people moving around at the entrance, and in such a desolate place, it was not easy to find a teahouse.

After dismounting, Lu Chuan entered the teahouse, intending to have a cup of strong tea to quench his thirst.

Sitting in the hall, the Shop Assistant came over with a beaming smile.

“What would you like to drink, sir?”

“Bring me your best tea.

I’ll leave after I drink it.”

“Right away!”

He turned and left.

Lu Chuan scanned the hall and suddenly, in the corner, he saw a figure sitting cross-legged, meditating with eyes closed.

Lu Chuan was curious; in such a noisy environment, he was actually meditating with concentration.

Even if he could keep his mind undisturbed, it would still be affected.

It would be better to find a quiet place to practice.

Not just Lu Chuan thought this way, but people nearby also shared this view.

“That guy is really putting on a show, sitting down to cultivate in this place.

I don’t know what he’s trying to prove.”

“Exactly, if he went up the mountain, he could find a nice spot to start cultivating.

What’s he pretending for here?

Probably a Martial Path newbie.”

“Hahaha, don’t expose the poor chap.

If he wants to cultivate here, let him be.”

The comments from those around never ceased.

It disturbed the man enough to open his eyes.

He was quite handsome, with sharp eyes, wearing a green robe.

Upon opening his eyes, his gaze evidently carried a bit of annoyance and anger.

“Who is talking about me?

Looking for death, are you?”

He asked coldly.

The people who were just talking about him stood up, a group of four, and approached him with full of aggression.

“What’s the problem with saying a few words?

Who are you trying to scare?”

“Looking for death?

I think the person looking for death is you.

What are you pretending for here with us?”

The man in green stood up and faced the four of them calmly and confidently.

“I am about to ascend the mountain to achieve a breakthrough in my realm.

Cultivating here for a moment is merely to maintain my condition, to prevent any mistakes during my realm breakthrough.

What do you understand?”

“Your realms are probably not even in the Martial King Realm; yet you dare to lecture me.”

On hearing this, all four of them looked quite embarrassed, as indeed, not one of them was in the Martial King Realm.

“Heh, don’t speak too soon.

What if you fail in your breakthrough on the mountain?”

“That’s right, all the places where Spiritual Energy is abundant on the mountain have been occupied.

You might as well find a forest to practice in outside.”

The man in green continued, “The place I am heading to is the hot spring in the middle of Tiger Head Mountain, which is the most abundant in Spiritual Energy among all places around Beihe City, and it is the most suitable for overcoming bottlenecks and achieving realm breakthroughs!”

“You bunch of scoundrels, you are not worthy of lecturing me.

The money I spent to secure that spot for three days is enough to buy your lives!”

He spoke with an air of conviction.

The four of them instantly deflated, returning to their places wordlessly, not daring to engage in any more discussion.

The man in the green robes then sat back down, satisfied.

At this moment, someone in the crowd said with a laugh, “Do we still need to pay to train at the Tiger Head Mountain location now?

To whom?

The Nangong family?”

“The Nangong family is on the brink of extinction; still giving them money is like casting pearls before swine, isn’t it?”

“Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.”

Hearing this, the man in the green robes immediately slammed the table and shouted, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

“The Nangong family is going extinct?

Do you even know what kind of rubbish you’re talking?

Unless you’re an outsider, you wouldn’t possibly say such a thing!”

“Anyone from Beihe City knows exactly what kind of power the Nangong family holds!”

He shouted loudly, berating the man for his ignorance.

However, the man just smiled smugly, “You, young fellow, still don’t believe my words?

Go to Beihe City and ask around, who doesn’t know that Nangong Tian is dead?

The Nangong family’s demise is at hand, and you’re clueless about it—what are you even doing hanging around here?”

The man in the green robes immediately stood up and walked over to him, “Say that again, I dare you!”

“What’s the matter with you!

I’m telling the truth, what are you going to do?

Come at me with such ferocity; do you want to hit me?

Even if you’re unwilling to accept it, you can’t change the fact that the Nangong family is bound for ruin!”

He said with utmost confidence.

The man in the green robes was suddenly rooted to the spot, feeling bewildered.

The person before him didn’t seem to be joking at all.

Could this really be true?

“How could the Nangong family, with its formidable strength, be facing extinction?”

The others were also curious, “Really?

When I left Beihe City a few days ago, the Nangong family was still fine.”

“It’s only been a few days since I’ve been back; has Beihe City truly undergone such drastic changes?”

“Impossible, are you having a laugh at our expense?”

“If you’re lying to us, we’ll skin you alive!”

Lu Chuan, seated nearby, watched the crowd with a smile.

Part of this group had been training up in the mountain, oblivious to the events in Beihe City, while others had just come from the city, planning to go up the mountain to train.

He hadn’t expected that the news of Nangong Tian’s death would spread so quickly—in just one day’s time, it had reached so far outside the city.

The man in the green robes stood there, dazed for a moment, then grabbed his bag and quickly left the teahouse.

Lu Chuan’s gaze followed him.

This fellow seemed to care a great deal about the Nangong family, and moreover, the training location he was headed to was the very same one Lu Chuan was planning to visit next.

Lu Chuan was naturally not about to let the hot springs be taken from him; he quickly finished the cup of tea the Shop Assistant had brought him and briskly walked out of the teahouse.

Outside the teahouse, the man in green robes was climbing the mountain on foot, swiftly making his way up the mountain trail.

Lu Chuan followed closely behind.

“Hey!

Wait up!”

After following him for a while, Lu Chuan eventually called out to him.

The man in the green robes turned to look at Lu Chuan and asked, “What do you want from me?”

Lu Chuan caught up to him, “Is the place you’re heading to here?”

Lu Chuan directly opened the map to show him.

After giving it a careful look, the man in green robes nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right.

Why do you ask?”
