946: Chapter 906: Destroying the City Guards 946: Chapter 906: Destroying the City Guards In the dining room, the caretaker stood still, raising his hand to wipe away a teardrop from the corner of his eye.

“Master, Xu Tao is dead, brutally murdered by the Nangong family.

His death was too tragic.

We can’t just sit by and do nothing!”

Yuan Tiancheng took a deep breath, feeling a heavy, suffocating knot form in his chest, which caused him great distress.

“Nangong Qianying, you old beast!

You’re really asking for death, for death I say!”

“Today, if I, Yuan Tiancheng, don’t kill you, I don’t deserve to hold the position of City Lord!”

“Caretaker, go and assemble all the elite troops of the City Guards.

We’ll set out immediately to besiege the Nangong Residence!”

“Master, now?

Why don’t you have your dinner first?”

Yuan Tiancheng picked up his bowl and threw it aside.

“Eat?

Nonsense!

If I don’t avenge this, I won’t be able to sleep, let alone eat!”

Yuan Tiancheng looked down at Lu Chuan, “You continue eating.

I’ll handle this matter.

That bastard has infuriated me!”

“Let’s go!”

Yuan Tiancheng approached the caretaker, hurriedly leading him out.

Lu Chuan set down his chopsticks and quickly got up to follow.

“Brother Yuan, don’t be hasty.

We can take our time.”

“How can I not be anxious?

We need to cut the Gordian knot, I don’t want to see those bastards living in Tiannan City any longer, or my losses will be even greater!”

At the doorway, Yuan Tiancheng turned back to look at Lu Chuan, “You keep eating.

If my City Guards, fully mobilized, can’t deal with that guy, then it’s fate, and I’m destined to fall to that bastard.”

“Now, my feud with Nangong Qianying is even deeper than yours with him!”

“I’m heading out first!”

Just as Yuan Tiancheng stepped out the door, he paused in his stride and looked up at the sky.

In mid-air, a Myriad Realms Bird flapped its wings, slowly descending.

Yuan Tiancheng extended his arm, allowing the Myriad Realms Bird to land on his palm.

“This…

is Xu Tao’s Myriad Realms Bird, used to send me messages.”

He removed a small bamboo tube from the bird’s leg, opened the lid, and poured out a slip of paper.

“This is…

something Xu Tao wrote just before he died!”

Yuan Tiancheng could tell that the handwriting on it was very sloppy, but he could still make out that it was indeed Xu Tao’s writing.

“Big Brother, I’m afraid I’m done for.

I’ve been hit by a poisoned arrow; there’s no chance I’ll survive.”

“Nangong Qianying has arrived at the Nangong Residence, accompanied by various cultivator companions from his training sessions, each of them powerful and full of murderous intent.”

“I only overheard half of their plan before I was discovered.”

“They have devised a plot called ‘Dismantling the City Guards,’ which involves striking at the forces stationed in each city district, defeating them one by one until they attack the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“As for Lu Chuan, they’ve decided to prioritize his assassination, to kill him immediately should the opportunity arise.”

“Honorable City Lord, be prepared, they are coming for everything, whether it’s control over Tiannan City or their murderous hatred for Lu Chuan, it’s all part of their scheme.”

The note ended there.

But it still provided Yuan Tiancheng with a wealth of information.

“Xu Tao!

I will definitely avenge you!”

He clenched the note so tightly that his fingernails were nearly piercing into his flesh.

He turned and went back into the room to share the contents of the note with Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng exchanged glances, both finding it very strange.

Lu Chuan looked at Yuan Tiancheng, “So his plan is to wipe out the City Guards and take control of Tiannan City, with killing me as only a secondary goal?”

“I’m not sure, but their current plan is to target our City Guards, and if they come across you, you are definitely their priority to kill.”

“After all, Tiannan City is so vast, searching for someone here isn’t much easier than finding a needle in a haystack.”

“Lu Chuan, the enemy is already gearing up to launch their offensive, we must make our preparations.”

After finishing dinner, Lu Chuan stood up and looked at Yuan Tiancheng.

“Well then, let the battle begin!

I’m not afraid of them!

Aren’t they planning to start their killings from the garrisons stationed in various districts?”

“Starting tomorrow, I’ll head to the Northwest Garrison Army and wait for them there.

If they have the guts to show up, I’ll show them a lesson.”

Yuan Tiancheng nodded firmly, “No problem, I believe in your strength, you can certainly do it!”

After dinner, Lu Chuan got up to leave.

“The guest rooms have been prepared, you two go and rest first.”

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng left the dining hall, and under the caretaker’s guidance, they went to their guest rooms to sleep.

The next morning, Lu Chuan awoke and came out to the courtyard.

Dongfang Cheng too had risen early and was practicing his swordsmanship in the yard.

When Dongfang Cheng saw Lu Chuan get up, he quickly walked over.

“Lu Chuan, are you planning to set off now?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Yes, better to go earlier, stationed in that military camp, waiting for Nangong Qianying and the others to make their move.”

“Alright, then I’ll go with you.”

“Forget it, it’s too dangerous there, just stay here.”

“What’s there to be afraid of in the face of danger, I am the Crown Prince of the Dongfang family.”

Dongfang Cheng said confidently.

“That Nangong Qianying has gone mad, he won’t care who you are.

If he comes across you, he certainly won’t show mercy.”

“I urge you to just stay put here.”

“Nangong Qianying is already over a hundred years old, all his descendants died by my hand, I’ve effectively ended his line for him.

He’s now risking it all, determined to fight to the bitter end against me.”

“At this point, he won’t have any scruples.”

“I’m leaving first, you’d better stay here.”

Lu Chuan patted Dongfang Cheng on the shoulder and then left.

Watching Lu Chuan’s departing figure, Dongfang Cheng sighed helplessly, looking down at the Peijian in his hand, he said despairingly, “Lu Chuan, if only I could be as powerful as you.”

…

Lu Chuan mounted his horse at the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, and Yuan Tiancheng came out in person to see Lu Chuan off.

“Young Master Lu, please be careful after you get to the Northwest Garrison Army.

Those bastards might attack you at any moment.”

“Don’t worry, I assure you, they’ll come but won’t return!”

“I believe in you, set off now, and if anything unexpected happens, send for me immediately, I’ll come to support you.”

Lu Chuan nodded, then rode his horse towards the Northwest Garrison Army camp.

Now, Tiannan City had become much quieter.

The death of Liu Qiming yesterday had caused quite a shock to the entire city.

On the streets, the corpse of Xu Tao horrified everyone even more.

So early this morning, the streets were void of people, as everyone was hiding at home, not daring to step outside, afraid of running into someone from the Nangong family.

Lu Chuan reached the camp on horseback.

The camp was like a manor, large and filled with soldiers.

Outside, the streets remained eerily quiet, devoid of any figures, clearly intimidated by the ferocious advance of Nangong Qianying.
