778: Chapter 738 Shadow Kill Army_1 778: Chapter 738 Shadow Kill Army_1 Lu Meng looked at Lu Chuan curiously, “Have you seen those resurrected soldiers?”
“Those were evil spirits generated from the grudge of the deceased, and of course, I have seen them, and have also annihilated them all.”
“However, the most crucial one, the general of that army, I failed to kill.”
“Lu Meng, I need you to tell me about this army, the general has set his sights on me, I must find a way to kill him.”
“The bastard, he just recently assassinated the City Lord Zhao Huangqian’s son, Zhao Kanglong.”
Lu Meng was shocked and asked in a hurry, “Zhao Kanglong?
Wasn’t he already dead?”
“Didn’t he die two years ago?
Why do you say this?”
“He was rumored to have died three years ago, but in reality, he didn’t; he was just turned into a puppet by those evil spirits.”
“After I rescued him, that general pursued and killed him.”
“City Lord Zhao Huangqian witnessed it himself and roared in rage.”
Lu Meng took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I will tell you everything I know.”
“The army is called the Shadow Kill Army, and they are characterized by their extremely fast marching speed and formidable combat strength.
They delivered surprise attacks on the battlefield time after time, achieving unexpected effects.”
“As such, someone set their sights on them, ambushing and encircling them at Heavenly Yin Mountain.”
“That fellow must have been unwilling to die, thinking he shouldn’t have perished.
Many among the Shadow Kill Army harbored intense malicious energy and would not easily pass on.”
“After their death, they turned into evil spirits, wandering among the mountains, absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, and gradually strengthening their forces, aiming to find an opportunity to return to the world.”
Lu Chuan looked at Lu Meng curiously, “Do you know this much?”
“Of course, I’ve read a lot of books, and I know Myriad Stars City like the back of my hand.
The general of the Shadow Kill Army is called Li Xunying, his strength is unknown, but definitely not weak.”
“If he comes after you, you’re likely in for trouble.”
Lu Chuan said disdainfully, “I’m not afraid of that guy; if he’s got the guts, let him come.”
“What I’m afraid of now is not being able to find him.
If he won’t fight me, if he dares to show his face, I definitely won’t spare him.”
“That guy has an intense killing intent.
If he can’t kill you, he will kill others.
Pay more attention to the situation in the city recently, I’m afraid it might stir up trouble and bloodshed.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I understand.”
“Now, can you let me out?”
Inside, Lu Meng was anxious and asked promptly, “What do you mean?
You just said I could leave!”
She was getting worried, Lu Chuan’s sudden change of mind made her feel uncomfortable.
“You will leave the dark room and stay within Dongfang Residence for a while.
I’ll go settle accounts at Lu Manor first; once I’m done, you can go back.”
Lu Chuan chuckled, “When I went to Heavenly Yin Mountain, I explicitly told the Lu family to keep their dogs in check and not to harbor any ideas against me.”
“Yet, that gang of bandits still had their eyes on me and even plotted to trap me; now that I have foiled their plans, of course, I’m going back to exact vengeance!”
Lu Meng sighed helplessly; she understood the specific situation as soon as she heard Lu Chuan’s words.
She was very well aware of the Lu family’s collusion with the bandits outside the city.
“Alright, I’ll wait for your news.”
She got dressed and followed Lu Chuan out.
Being locked up in the dark room for so many days, she had become haggard.
As she walked out the door, she instinctively shielded her eyes from the sunlight.
She squinted for a good while before slowly opening her eyes.
Lu Chuan brought her to the courtyard of the guest room he was staying in.
Just in time to see Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang were still there.
Lu Chuan walked towards Gu Xiaosang and said, “You sleep in your own room, right?
I’m going to find you a roommate.
You two will stay together for a couple of days; she’ll move out soon.”
Gu Xiaosang sized up Lu Meng and immediately became reluctant, “I don’t want to live with her.”
“Is there no spare room?”
Lu Meng asked curiously.
“Of course, there are, but this is the safest place in the entire Dongfang Residence.
Do you know where Zhao Kanglong died?
He died inside the Dongfang Residence!”
Upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Lu Meng immediately became obedient.
“All right, I’ll follow your arrangements.”
Gu Xiaosang panicked, quickly standing up to look at Lu Chuan, “What?
“Zhao Huangqian’s son, Zhao Kanglong died here.”
The Honorable City Lord won’t blame us, will he?”
She cried out in alarm.
“Forget it, I can’t be bothered to explain, go find Dongfang Cheng later and ask him to clarify the situation.”
“Just let her stay here for now.”
“I must be going now.”
“Where else do you have to go?
You haven’t been back for so long, my sister has been lonely.”
Gu Xiaorou looked up at her and clicked her tongue.
Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaorou and smiled softly, “Stay here for the time being.
Once I’ve dealt with the recent issues, we’ll go out and have some fun.”
“It’s okay, do what you need to do.
I don’t want to get in your way,” said Gu Xiaorou.
“Good, your words are enough for me.”
Lu Chuan turned and walked out of the courtyard.
Lu Meng watched the two of them, feeling somewhat awkward for a moment.
“Sit down, we’ll all be friends from now on,” said Gu Xiaorou with a smile.
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan had arrived at the entrance of Lu Manor.
The main gate of Lu Manor was tightly closed at the moment.
Lu Chuan walked to the entrance, looked at the guard, and said, “Open the gate!”
The guard was about to say something when he saw it was Lu Chuan, then he promptly shut his mouth.
The guard obediently opened the grand gate, and Lu Chuan passed through it, walking inside.
Next, the Lu family’s caretaker came forward, standing respectfully in front of Lu Chuan.
“Young Master Lu, what brings you here?”
“I’m looking for Lu Wansheng.”
“Our Manor Master isn’t here today, perhaps you could come back another day?”
He must know I’ve come back alive and is deliberately hiding like a turtle, afraid to come out, isn’t he!”
“That’s definitely not it, this has nothing to do with us; the Manor Master truly has gone out.”
“Then I’ll slaughter everyone in Lu Manor, and I’ll stop when he returns!”
Lu Chuan directly grabbed the caretaker by the neck and lifted him up.
“Everyone else in Lu Manor, you all have to die today!”
“I gave you a chance to live, and yet you are still so tenacious.
Since that’s the way it is, then I will send you on your way!”
With a sudden exertion of force in his right hand, there was a crack, and the caretaker’s neck was broken by Lu Chuan’s grasp.
Lu Chuan casually flung the caretaker’s body, throwing it far away.
“All of you, get out!
Don’t think about escaping.
If Lu Wansheng doesn’t show himself today, you are all doomed without a doubt!”
For a moment, the surrounding people of Lu Manor were all trembling, not daring to look Lu Chuan in the eye.
Just then, a familiar figure emerged.
Lu Wansheng hurried over, immediately apologizing to Lu Chuan with respect.
“Young Master Lu, I’m truly sorry for the delay.
I was held up by something just now.
It was definitely not intentional to avoid meeting you.”
