705: Chapter 665: Wait for My Message Here_1 705: Chapter 665: Wait for My Message Here_1 Zhao Shengyang sprinted all the way and soon arrived at a dilapidated thatched hut.
From the outside, this decrepit thatched hut appeared completely abandoned, unlikely to be inhabited by anyone.
However, Zhao Shengyang stood in front of the door and knocked forcefully.
The rhythm of his knocking was like entering a password, tapping more than a dozen times in succession before silently waiting.
Suddenly, with a creak, the worn wooden door opened, and a figure appeared before Zhao Shengyang.
“Senior Brother Bai, thank heavens you’re here!”
“It’s terrible, the sect is in danger, you must help me with this!”
Zhao Shengyang cried out, his face marked with grief.
Standing before him was Dubhe City’s number one assassin, Bai Hao.
He stared at Zhao Shengyang, feeling like the Zhao Shengyang before him was somewhat unfamiliar.
Gone was his usual arrogance and carefreeness, now replaced by utter dishevelment, having desperately fled to this place, his face etched with a heartfelt plea for something.
“Senior Brother Bai, don’t you know?
Today is the day my master duelled with that bastard Lu Chuan!”
The result must be out by now, right?”
“Of course, the result is out…”
Zhao Shengyang lowered his head, unable to raise his eyes to meet Bai Hao’s.
“Speak up, did your master die?”
“Yes… He died at the hands of Lu Chuan, that bastard.
First, he killed Elder Huang, and then he killed my master!”
“With such deep hatred and enmity, I absolutely cannot forgive him!”
Zhao Shengyang declared, clenching his fists.
“What good does it do if you can’t forgive him?
You are no match for him.”
“And so… Senior Brother Bai, that’s why I’ve come to you.”
Bai Hao sighed deeply.
“In fact, I already knew Huang Yueqing died at the hands of Lu Chuan.
Before Lu Chuan arrived in Dubhe City, I had a confrontation with him.”
Zhao Shengyang suddenly widened his eyes, looking incredulously at Bai Hao, “If you knew, why didn’t you say anything?
Also, what was the outcome of your confrontation with him?”
Bai Hao snorted coldly, “When my master expelled me from the sect, no one of you spoke up for me, so why should I report anything to you?”
“As for the outcome of our fight, naturally, I fled in disarray.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to see either Lu Chuan or me now.”
Zhao Shengyang sighed deeply, “So, even you are not his match?”
Bai Hao immediately became angry, retorting, “Who did you say was not his match?”
“You just said yourself that you fled in disgrace.”
Zhao Shengyang looked curiously at Bai Hao.
I intercepted him midway on a vast plain, and it was terrain I was unfamiliar with.”
“If we were in Dubhe City, where I could lay my Heaven-Earth Net, he would have no choice but to await his death!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shengyang looked at Bai Hao with some curiosity, “You’re that confident?
Even my master couldn’t defeat him, how could you possibly be his match?”
Bai Hao glared at him and asked, “Then why have you come to me?
Isn’t it to ask me to take out that guy?”
Zhao Shengyang helplessly nodded slightly, “Although there is a gap in sheer strength, you are extremely familiar with Dubhe City, and your assassination methods are endless.
So, if you make a move, there is still a chance to kill that Lu Chuan.”
“I was just preparing to settle scores with that bastard.
Even if you hadn’t come to me, I would have made a move against him.”
Bai Hao said as he pushed the door fully open.
“You should come in and hide for now, to avoid that guy hunting you down.”
Zhao Shengyang let out a sigh of relief, “You don’t have to worry about that, that guy didn’t come after me.
But you’d better make your move against that bastard quickly, I don’t want to see him alive in this world!”
“The Sky Martial Sect lost two elders, you must take revenge for the sect!”
Zhao Shengyang shouted in anguish.
The loss of two elders for the sect was tantamount to the Sky Martial Sect slipping to a second-rate power.
In Dubhe City, they probably wouldn’t have much say anymore.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely heartbroken.
He was already bound to the Sky Martial Sect; if the sect thrived, he lived comfortably; if it declined, he struggled.
Bai Hao nodded slightly, “Just stay here and wait for my news, I’m leaving now.”
Having said that, Bai Hao walked out of the courtyard.
Watching Bai Hao’s retreating figure, Zhao Shengyang felt the rage in his heart subside considerably.
Within Dubhe City, explosive news spread throughout the city in an instant.
In just a few short hours, the news of the Sky Martial Sect losing two elders had spread everywhere.
Everyone in Dubhe City knew that after the loss of two elder-level figures, the Sky Martial Sect was going to decline sharply, sinking to a sect of little significance.
What people relished discussing even more was naturally Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan, relying solely on his own strength, killed two elders of the Sky Martial Sect and even withstood the pressure of the bounty placed by the Lu family, he survived to this day.
Furthermore, there were already rumors within the city speculating that Lu Chuan might be the person who annihilated the Lu Manor.
After all, there were direct conflicts between them, so Lu Chuan was the prime suspect.
This duel caused quite a stir, reshaping everyone’s perception of Lu Chuan in the city.
This previously unknown young man had impressed everyone with his actions time after time.
By then, Lu Chuan had already returned to the Zhan Residence.
The outlook of the people from the Zhan family on Lu Chuan changed once again.
Now, even though they sheltered Lu Chuan, they would be viewed with hostility by both the Lu family and the Sky Martial Sect.
But they felt it was worth it; despite the risks, there were also benefits to be had.
Lu Chuan, having returned to the Zhan Residence, was personally received by Zhan Guliu.
Facing his lifesaver, Zhan Guliu, although advanced in age, acted quite humbly.
“Young Master Lu, you’ve returned.
I heard you defeated Guu Lie and caused quite a stir within the city.
It seems like your strength has now reached the pinnacle of Dubhe City,” Zhan Guliu remarked with a sigh.
Lu Chuan looked at Zhan Guliu and responded, “A mere Sky Martial Sect doesn’t pose much of a threat to me.”
“What concerns me the most is only the Lu family, who pose the greatest threat to me.”
Zhan Guliu nodded slightly, “That’s true, the Lu family, not to mention in Dubhe City, is one of the top families in the entire Kunlun Domain.”
“However, they are also fighting against enemy clans lately, so, they can’t spare the effort right now.”
“But you still need to be vigilant.
Once they focus all their efforts on attacking another power, I’m afraid no one in the whole Kunlun Domain can stand against them.”
Zhan Guliu’s eyebrows furrowed as he said, “If they wanted to, they could completely surround the entire Dubhe City, and even exterminating all of us wouldn’t be a problem for them.”
“Young Master Lu, when you face the Lu family in the future, relying solely on your current strength will definitely not be enough.”
Lu Chuan nodded heavily, “I’m well aware of that, which is why I’m still on the path to becoming stronger.”
Just then, a servant rushed over in a panic and shouted at Zhan Guliu, “Master, something terrible has happened.
There are Extermination Decrees suddenly being posted all over the city, and they’re directly targeting Young Master Lu!”
