Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 555 - 515 Sky Martial Sect Disciple_1

Xu Lingyun clasped her dagger in a backhanded grip, readying herself for another attack on Lu Chuan.

She dashed forward at a breakneck speed, her figure turning into a blur, leaving behind a black streak.

Just as she was about to close in on Lu Chuan, his entire body suddenly erupted with a formidable pressure.

Immediately after, Lu Chuan’s pupils turned into a dark golden color.

The object of his gaze, Xu Lingyun, instantly felt a mental shock, her mind in disarray, her sprinting steps halted, and she stood in place, feeling dizzy and weak.

"What... what is this?"

Lu Chuan, who had ascended all the way to Grade 8 Nascent Soul Realm, had also substantially strengthened his Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil.

Merely with a glance, he imposed an intense pressure on Xu Lingyun, hindering her movements.

She held her forehead, her body bent at the waist, and looked up at Lu Chuan, her heart filled with immense shock.

"What technique did you use, why am I... like this?"

Lu Chuan walked toward her and stood before her, looking down at her.

"It’s evident that you’re a Martial Path prodigy, young and already at the Martial King Realm, but you’ve secluded yourself in cultivation for too long, untested, and thus your spirit is too fragile."

"I merely looked at you, and your spirit collapsed. You are no match for me."

Even without using his Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil and merely fighting physically, Lu Chuan could easily defeat her.

"You have lost!!"

Lu Chuan lifted his hand and struck her shoulder with a palm, the massive brute force sending her flying and crashing into the ground, where she struggled painfully.

"It’s utterly impossible for you to reclaim the Divine Tree branch from me. If the Xu family continues to covet this item, then perhaps I should consider making this clan disappear from Cathay."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Lingyun’s spirit trembled, and she suddenly became fearful.

If this had been said earlier, she would have scoffed at Lu Chuan’s overconfidence.

But after their recent clash, she vaguely felt that Lu Chuan truly had the ability to make it happen.

"Don’t underestimate the Xu family. You might be able to defeat the Xu family of the secular world, but in the distant Kunlun Domain, if you face our Xu family, you would be nothing but a bug to be crushed!"

She was still defiant with her words, but as Lu Chuan approached, clenching his fist, "Well then, I’ll start with you."

Lu Chuan posed to punch, causing Xu Lingyun’s face to go pale with fright, her panic in chaos.

"Stop!"

A sudden shout halted Lu Chuan’s movements.

Looking up, he saw a hunched old man being helped over by Yang Gui.

The elder quickly approached Lu Chuan, pressing his hands together in a gesture of pleading, bowing repeatedly.

"Please spare Lingyun, the Xu family cannot lose her, we promise never to trouble you again!"

Yang Gui gazed at Xu Lingyun lying on the ground, his eyes widening in astonishment.

He hadn’t expected that Xu Lingyun, the prodigious Martial Path young woman, could be defeated so miserably; Lu Chuan hadn’t even dirtied his clothes.

"Do you hold that much influence? Why should I listen to you?"

Lu Chuan still harbored anger and wasn’t ready to let it go just yet.

"Quick! Both of you apologize to him, and assure it won’t happen again!"

Old Xu turned to Yang Gui beside him, commanding, "Get down on your knees and apologize to him!"

Yang Gui was instantly dumbstruck, "Me? Kneel to him? Impossible!"

He decisively refused!

Old Xu was so angry he wanted to curse, "If it wasn’t for you coming to ask for our help, would Xu Lingyun be in such a state?"

"Kneel down and apologize to him!"

Yang Gui felt incredibly aggrieved; wasn’t he also once a prodigious young talent? His innate pride was significant.

But when faced with such a formidable opponent, he had no choice but to abandon his dignity and, with difficulty, knelt down before Lu Chuan.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan walked over to Yang Gui.

"Tell me, where do you come from?"

"I... I am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sky Martial Sect from the Kunlun Domain. My master received a secret order, informing us that the World Origin Divine Tree branch had been stolen, and countless Martial Path sects big and small throughout the entire Kunlun Domain received the news."

"As long as the branch can be found and returned, one would receive an incredibly astonishing reward."

"Therefore, I was dispatched by the Sky Martial Sect to the secular world to search for the branch."

"Unexpectedly, I actually found a clue here."

"Following the clue, I tracked it to Chen Zhengqian in America."

"But just as I arrived in America and before I could begin the investigation, I learned that Chen Zhengqian had already died. On the plane back, I met you and sensed the Spiritual Energy of the branch."

He swallowed nervously and spilled everything without holding back.

Lu Chuan with his Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil gazed directly at him, his imposing eyes exerting a tremendous pressure that made Yang Gui not dare to lie.

Even more so, if he dared lie, it would be particularly obvious and would be seen through at a glance.

Lu Chuan turned around and looked toward Xu Lingyun, "You too, apologize to me!"

Xu Lingyun struggled to her feet, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Her eyes were cold as she looked at Lu Chuan, seemingly still resistant inside.

"I’m sorry..."

Her prideful self ultimately bowed her head.

Old Xu was right beside Lu Chuan; she didn’t dare make a single misstep.

"Do you have any objections to me keeping the branch?"

Lu Chuan asked the three people before him.

"No objections. Such a treasure should indeed stay with you; we shouldn’t have come to fight over it..."

Old Xu said with a fawning smile.

At his advanced age, having to lower himself to butter up a young person was very uncomfortable for him.

"The Xu family, I will remember you. If you dare to covet this branch again, your family can wait for its extinction."

After saying this, Lu Chuan turned and left, unwilling to waste too much time with these people.

Old Xu watched Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, his brows tightly knitted, his face showing worry.

"Who exactly is this young man? He’s so formidable that Xu Lingyun is no match for him at all!"

Yang Gui came over and asked, "Old Xu, he must also be from the Kunlun Domain. We will surely meet him again in the Kunlun Domain!"

"Hm, no matter what, I must pass this message on."

"Lingyun, make a record of that man’s appearance."

Since they didn’t dare to take a photo directly, Xu Lingyun pulled out a notebook and sketched Lu Chuan’s general likeness from memory.

This was a unique skill she had learned from childhood.

She had shown astonishing martial talents from a young age and, by nature, was indifferent and aloof, so her family arranged for her to do some shady deeds.

Like assassination.

Thus, drawing became a skill she had to learn.

"Will this drawing be able to bring the branch back to the Xu family in the Kunlun Domain?"

Xu Lingyun looked at Old Xu and asked.

"Of course, once they take action, there’s nothing they can’t do in this world."

"Back then, the Xu family of the Kunlun Domain merely exiled a wayward younger relative for an offense, and he managed to take root and flourish in the secular world, establishing this vast Xu family!"

"If that young man meets the Kunlun Xu family, I’m afraid he will meet a bitter end."

At this time, Yang Gui spoke up, "Could I get a copy of this drawing to take back to the Kunlun Domain and submit to the Sky Martial Sect? At least I won’t be returning empty-handed and will avoid punishment."

Old Xu pondered for a moment and said, "For a favor from your Sky Martial Sect, I’ll help you this one time."

Thus, Xu Lingyun and Yang Gui both obtained a drawing of Lu Chuan and planned to head to the Kunlun Domain tomorrow to deliver it into the hands of the two major powers there.

"The branch of the World Divine Tree has finally been found!"

All three of them were tremendously excited.
