Chapter 988 - 988 948 The Old Trade

988: Chapter 948: The Old Trade 988: Chapter 948: The Old Trade Lu Chuan arrived at the gate and looked in the direction Jyang Ran pointed.

Jyang Ran raised her hand and pointed toward a strange silhouette appearing between the trunks of the trees in the forest.

The shadowy figure, dizzy and swaying, supported itself on the surrounding trees, slowly moving forward.

As Lu Chuan watched, he immediately felt something was amiss.

“There is indeed the smell of blood.

That guy seems to be injured all over.

Who is he, can you tell?

It’s not Zhao Mingguang, is it?”

Lu Chuan’s words made Jyang Ran become serious.

She stared intently at the figure ahead, and after observing for a moment, she quickly stepped forward.

“Although there’s nothing I can discern from his gait or actions, looking at his build, he does resemble Zhao Mingguang!”

“Quick!

He seems to have been attacked!”

Jyang Ran ran over and reached the man.

He lifted his head, looked at Jyang Ran, and murmured, “Quick…

flee.”

Then, he was about to collapse into Jyang Ran’s arms.

At this moment, Lu Chuan quickly rushed over.

In the palm of his right hand, a brilliant fireball instantly gathered.

Lu Chuan spread his fingers and pushed the fireball outward with his palm.

The fireball continued to expand until it could envelop the entire body of the man before him.

The Nine Heavens Profound Fire covered his entire body, burning incessantly.

Immediately after, Jyang Ran saw Zhao Mingguang’s wounds healing before her eyes at a visible speed!

Zhao Mingguang’s blurred eyes also gradually opened.

He looked up at Jyang Ran in surprise, “What’s this…

what happened?

How are all my injuries healed?”

He was astonished as he inspected his entire body.

Although his back was hunched, his frame remained robust.

Fully healed, he could now stand steadily on his own.

Lu Chuan stepped forward, looked at Zhao Mingguang, and asked, “You’re Zhao Mingguang, right?”

His eyebrows and beard had already turned white, and as he looked at Lu Chuan, he revealed a smile.

“Yes, I am Zhao Mingguang, an old acquaintance of this young lady.

You must be her friend, too.

Thank you very much for healing my body.

It’s miraculous.

In barely a few breaths, I was fully healed.

It’s hard to believe.”

He spoke with a face full of amazement.

“Let’s go, quick, back to the temple!

Someone is trying to kill me, we can’t stay here any longer!”

He pushed the two of them and walked back toward the temple.

Back inside the temple, Lu Chuan asked him, “Who is trying to kill you?”

“I don’t know, who knows who it might be.

I haven’t been down the mountain for a long time and haven’t greeted anyone in ages!”

Then, he turned to Jyang Ran and asked urgently, “Jyang Ran, tell me the truth, did you bring them here?”

Jyang Ran became uncomfortable, not knowing what to say.

“The person you encountered, how did he injure you?”

Zhao Mingguang pondered for a moment, then said through gritted teeth, “That bastard, with a casual wave of his hand, a gust of wind struck, and it was like Sword Qi, tearing my clothes and cutting into my flesh.”

“It must be him.”

Jyang Ran turned to look at Lu Chuan, “Do you remember what I just told you?

That guy has come, and indeed, the events in Tiannan City have disturbed that bastard.”

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows knitted together, “He’s come after you so quickly?

Who exactly is he, and how did you provoke him?”

Jyang Ran looked at Lu Chuan and shrugged helplessly, “Didn’t I tell you, I used to survive by stealing to assist in my cultivation?”

“One time, I stole from someone important, and he accidentally saw my face and learned my name.

So, until now, that guy has been relentlessly pursuing me, wanting to kill me for revenge!”

After saying this, she sighed resignedly.

Lu Chuan looked at Zhao Mingguang, “Do you know about this matter too?”

“Of course I know.

The mess from that time, I helped her with it.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to open that thing.”

“Where is that guy now?”

Lu Chuan asked.

Zhao Mingguang rubbed his forehead, then shook his head, “I don’t know.

That guy might have left already.

His last words were that he wanted Jyang Ran to die in growing despair.”

“He also said, ‘I am just an appetizer.'”

Jyang Ran placed her hands on her forehead and sighed, “As expected, what was bound to come has come.

I have to atone for the mistakes I made in the past.”

“Lu Chuan, you must help me.

If you help me, I will have the confidence!”

Zhao Mingguang turned to Lu Chuan and eagerly asked, “Are you stronger than this Jyang Ran?”

Lu Chuan didn’t say anything but just nodded slightly.

“That’s great, Jyang Ran.

You’ve made the acquaintance of a big figure.”

“I can help you, but you’ll have to do me a favor as well.”

Lu Chuan brought the small box he was carrying on his back to the front.

“You have to help me open this box.

Otherwise, we can forget about this whole thing.”

Zhao Mingguang looked at the box in Lu Chuan’s hands and quickly asked, “This…

this isn’t also from some aristocratic family, is it?

Don’t make me open it; I’ve already quit.

If I keep going, my little life won’t be spared.

I just want to retire on the mountain, not get involved in conflicts.”

He pleaded with Lu Chuan, the desperation evident on his face.

He truly did not want to return to his old trade.

Lu Chuan spoke impatiently, “You only have one choice; open it, and I’ll help you with your enemy.

Otherwise, just wait to die.”

Jyang Ran looked at Zhao Mingguang and urged, “Just open it for him, it’s definitely your last job.

After this, you’ll have no worries.”

Zhao Mingguang looked at the box before him, wavering slightly.

“The last time, you sure?”

“Yes, of course, this is your last time.

Do it well, and you’re truly retired.”

He took a deep breath, “Then…

I’ll have a look.”

He took the box.

After examining it, he asked, “By the way, whose box is this?

Where did you get it from, tell me so it’s easier to unlock.”

“Mmm, it’s from the Nangong family.”

As soon as this was said, Zhao Mingguang was stunned.

He pushed the box away and looked at Lu Chuan with tense eyes.

“What did you say?

The Nangong family?

Are you trying to get me killed?

You actually brought me a box from the Nangong family to open, it’s as if you want me dead!”

“If I open it and the Nangong family finds out, they won’t just level this mountain, they will want my life!”

“Both of you, please find another place.

I truly can’t get involved anymore.”

He clasped his hands together, begging Lu Chuan and Jyang Ran.

“What are you panicking for?

How could the Nangong family possibly trouble you?

You’re overthinking it.”

He looked up at Jyang Ran, curious, “What do you mean?

Don’t you know the power of the Nangong family?”

“You haven’t been off the mountain enough.

The Nangong family is no more, utterly gone, without a single survivor.”
