Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 565 - 525 Lu Family Martial General_1

Lu Chuan stepped out of Chen Family Martial Arts Hall, and Gu Qing hurriedly approached him.

"Big Brother Lu Chuan, you... you came out alive?"

He scratched his head, looking at Lu Chuan with a blank expression.

"Are you cursing me to die?"

Lu Chuan retorted.

"No, no, that’s not what I meant. Did you see Lu Jue? His strength is formidable."

In Gu Qing’s eyes, Lu Jue was an invincible presence.

Throughout Carefree City, he couldn’t think of anyone who could contend with Lu Jue.

"Lu Jue is already dead, died a terrible death, so stop being afraid of these so-called three big clans. If they dare to fight back, hit them hard."

Gu Qing immediately exclaimed, "Lu Jue is dead? Is he really dead?"

"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"No, that’s fine. Well... Big Brother Lu Chuan, you really killed that guy. It’s like something out of a dream."

For him, it was a very fantastical event.

"Let’s go back for now. It’s up to your Gu family to decide what to do next. I’ve removed the biggest threat for you."

"No problem, we’ll go back and report this right away!"

Gu Qing was extremely excited and quickly led the way to the Gu Family Manor.

Meanwhile...

In the territory of the Lu family, Lu Fusheng was in his study, dealing with family affairs.

Suddenly, someone ran in panicked, stumbling, as if they had been scared.

Irritated by the interruption, Lu Fusheng’s face turned angry, "What’s going on? Can’t you see I’m busy?"

"Family Head, something terrible has happened!"

"What is it? Speak properly. Don’t get flustered—it’s embarrassing in front of others."

"It’s... It’s Young Master Lu Jue. He... he’s dead..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fusheng was shaken, and the brush in his hand dropped with a clatter.

"Lu Jue... he’s dead?"

"Yes...yes, that’s right, this is the scene before his death."

Lu Fusheng took the copper mirror, which reflected the scene of Lu Jue’s last moments.

Engulfed in flames, screaming non-stop, Lu Jue struggled painfully in the fire.

Every scream made Lu Fusheng’s heart ache.

"Jue’er, who... who killed you?"

"In that distant Carefree City, who else could be your match?"

Lu Fusheng put down the copper mirror with a trace of sadness on his face, and heaved a long sigh.

In the image, only a silhouette was visible.

However, that silhouette looked so familiar.

He frowned slightly, sensing that something was off.

"Could it be, that man’s son has come to the Kunlun Domain?"

"No, it cannot be. Jue’er was a warrior of the Martial King Realm; how could he lose to a mortal from the secular world, no matter what?"

"Go, send a martial general from the Lu Family Army to Carefree City. Thoroughly investigate this matter; I must have results."

"No matter who killed him, bring them before me. I want them to live a fate worse than death!"

The caretaker quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Master, I will see to it."

"Everyone leave, I wish to be alone for a while."

After that, the servants and caretaker left the study together.

As a tyrant-type family in the Kunlun Domain, the Lu family’s financial resources were vast, and they even maintained an army known as the Lu Family Army.

The army had many brave and skilled martial generals, any one of whom could flatten countless cities.

This time, Lu Fusheng was truly serious.

He didn’t have a deep affection for Lu Jue, but Lu Jue’s talent was exceptional, and his future was promising. In Lu Fusheng’s heart, he held significant weight.

This time, when the martial generals of the Lu family made their move, they were bound to stir up a storm of blood and violence throughout Carefree City.

...

Far away, within Carefree City.

Lu Chuan and Gu Qing returned to the Gu Family Manor.

Passing through the front courtyard, Lu Chuan and Gu Qing arrived at the Council Hall.

At this moment, the Council Hall was bustling with noise and clamor.

"For Lu Chuan to seek out Lu Jue for a one-on-one duel was like courting death. We should do as I say and relocate our entire family to another city to start afresh. I refuse to believe that we can’t find a place for the Gu family in the vast Kunlun Domain."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think the three tyrant-type families are fools? They would probably blockade us the moment we started packing!"

"So what? We’re already at the end of our rope, might as well go all out and fight them. We’re all going to die anyway!"

"Perhaps we could cede another three percent of our profits. Maybe seeing our weakened state, they’ll back off."

"You coward, what kind of suggestion is that? Why don’t you sell your wife and daughter while you’re at it?"

Gu Xiaosang covered her ears, looking utterly exhausted.

"Sister, when will Big Brother Lu Chuan come back? I can’t wait any longer."

Although Gu Xiaosang would often bicker with Lu Chuan over minor matters, she had considerable trust in his abilities.

"Are you missing him?" Gu Xiaorou asked with a slight smile.

"Sister, what are you talking about? How could I possibly miss him? I just don’t want to listen to these people arguing anymore, it’s giving me a headache."

"Don’t worry, Lu Chuan won’t be gone long. He now has two Origin Divine Fires, and with his own strength, he should have no problem dealing with Lu Jue."

Just then, Lu Chuan’s figure walked in, instantly silencing everyone.

For a time, the previously noisy Council Hall fell deathly silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Seeing Lu Chuan return unharmed caught everyone off guard.

The four elders all frowned as they looked at his figure.

"Did you... not actually enter Chen Family Martial Arts Hall?"

"Did you just circle around the outside and come back?"

"I don’t see a single trace of blood on you. Does this look like you’ve just fought a duel?"

The crowd was filled with questions, curious.

Lu Chuan strode over the threshold and into the room.

He cast a glance over everyone and finally fixed his gaze upon Gu Changye. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Gu Changye, anxious, asked Lu Chuan, "What happened, Lu Chuan? Just tell us straight. If you didn’t win, we can accept it."

"Changye, you shouldn’t have let him go in the first place. He’s no help to us here," the Fourth Elder said.

"Regardless, Lu Chuan is a young man with great potential. I wasn’t wrong about him," Gu Changye confidently stated.

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Changye and calmly said, "Lu Jue is already dead. Now you can seek your revenge against the three major families. If they dare to join forces and resist again, call on me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was taken aback, unsure of what to say.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changye hurriedly asked, "Is that true, Lu Chuan? Is Lu Jue really dead?"

The Great Elder also quickly said, "A gentleman doesn’t joke lightly. Don’t play with our feelings!"

"Lu Jue’s prowess was unmatched in the entire city. You killed him on your own? How is that possible?"

All eyes were focused on Lu Chuan.

"Lu Jue is dead. I am not joking. If you don’t believe me, go to Chen Family Martial Arts Hall and see for yourselves."

Among the crowd, only Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang remained calm. They were not surprised by the outcome but felt joy instead.

Gu Changye looked at Lu Chuan with suspicion, and while everyone was still in doubt,

A servant hurriedly ran into the Council Hall from outside, rushing in with urgency.

"Family Head! There has been... a major incident! That man named Lu Jue, he has just been killed!"
