Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 558 - 518: Entering the Kunlun Domain_1

Yang Gui shouted furiously, trying to use the power of his sect to intimidate Lu Chuan into not daring to kill him.

"Sky Martial Sect is one of the top martial arts sects in the Kunlun Domain. If you dare to lay a hand on me, our Sect Master will surely kill you in retribution!"

Yang Gui looked nervously at Lu Chuan.

What he said was not false. As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sky Martial Sect, he was given special attention by the sect.

If he was killed by an outsider, the sect would definitely investigate the cause of death and look for the killer.

However, Lu Chuan simply didn’t care!

The Lu family, one of the overlord-level big aristocratic families of the Kunlun Domain, did not intimidate him at all. How could he be afraid of a martial arts sect with an even lesser reputation?

"Do you think that would scare me off? Ridiculous."

"Heh, I don’t believe that you dare to confront the entire Sky Martial Sect alone. That would be nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Yang Gui still spoke with utter confidence.

Even though his own strength was not equal to Lu Chuan’s, the backing of the Sky Martial Sect still gave him considerable courage.

"Do you know who I went to the Kunlun Domain to settle accounts with?"

Yang Gui immediately asked out of curiosity, "Who? Are they famous?"

"Lu Fusheng of the Lu family. You should know this name."

Yang Gui’s mouth twitched, and his complexion turned ugly; he even retreated two steps in fear.

"Who did you say? Lu Fusheng? The Family Head of the Lu family, a top-level family in the Kunlun Domain? You want to trouble him? Are you insane?"

Lu Yu spoke calmly, "I am not afraid of the Lu family. Do you think I would be afraid of the Sky Martial Sect? Truly laughable."

"If I let you go, that would only bring unnecessary trouble upon me."

Hearing this, Yang Gui immediately tensed up. If not even the Sky Martial Sect could intimidate him, was he truly going to die here?

Lu Chuan raised his right hand, and a ball of flames appeared in the palm of his hand.

He intended to use the Divine Fire of the Sun to incinerate this person in front of him completely, leaving not even dust behind.

Suddenly, Yang Gui knelt down, held his fists together in front of him, and begged with a sobbing tone, "Big brother, please spare me. If you spare me, I’ll tell you a secret. How about that?"

He looked down at Yang Gui and asked, "What secret? Speak!"

"The Xu family of the Kunlun Domain, they already know that you have the Divine Tree branch with you. They will definitely find a way to assassinate you, and, this Xu family is a vassal of the Lu family, their claw!"

"That Xu Lingyun has drawn a likeness of you and is taking it back to the Xu family right now!"

"The threat they pose to you may not be smaller than that of the Sky Martial Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s expression immediately turned cold. This Xu family really can’t mind their own business; they’re simply courting death!

With that, Yang Gui took out the likeness from his bosom and handed it to Lu Chuan.

"Look, is this not a drawing of you?"

Lu Chuan took it and glanced at it; sure enough, it was his own likeness.

Gu Xiaosang and Gu Xiaorou also came over and were somewhat surprised to see the likeness.

"This guy has drawn your appearance; could it be that he wants to turn you into a wanted criminal?"

Gu Xiaosang said in surprise, her mind also filled with curiosity about how precious this branch was that these people were so desperately trying to snatch it.

"Just kill him. Letting him go would lead to endless troubles."

Gu Xiaorou suggested.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, "Of course, I won’t let him go."

"Please spare me, I really won’t dare again!"

Yang Gui was still pleading for mercy, but Lu Chuan simply unleashed the Divine Fire of the Sun from his hand. The flames landed on Yang Gui’s body and instantly engulfed him.

The Divine Fire of the Sun possessed the ability to burn everything. As soon as Yang Gui was enveloped by the Divine Fire, in less than three seconds, he was reduced to a pile of char, scattered by the wind.

"How strange, is this branch of yours really such a treasure? The Sky Martial Sect and the Xu family are fighting over it; are there others who want to snatch it too?"

Gu Xiaosang felt it was absurd that these people were so interested in a branch.

"I’ve said it before, this is a branch of the World Divine Tree, not something picked up from the street. Besides, there are more than these two families vying for this branch."

Gu Xiaosang’s mouth fell open in shock, uttering an "ah."

"Doesn’t that mean it’s very dangerous for us to possess this thing?"

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "The spiritual power contained in this thing is astonishing. If there’s a way for me to safely absorb its spiritual power, I could certainly make consecutive breakthroughs!"

"Even if there’s danger, we must hold onto such a treasure."

Lu Chuan’s words were not without reason. Good things were always coveted, and that couldn’t be changed.

If that is the case, then let’s counter the soldiers with arms and the water with earth and let nature take its course.

"Come on, let’s head to the Kunlun Domain. We’ll stop by your Gu family first."

Leading the way, Gu Xiaorou continued walking forward and said, "Once we get to the Gu family, can you help us with something first?"

"No problem, after all, you’ve helped me quite a bit too."

Gu Xiaorou smiled and nodded slightly, "Alright, when we get to the Gu family, I’ll tell you the details."

The three of them entered the dark cave together; it was dim and cool inside, and walking there made their backs feel chilly.

However, as soon as he entered, Lu Chuan could sense that the place was rich with spiritual energy. If one could cultivate here continuously, the pace would certainly be much faster.

After traveling some distance, they reached a fork in the path.

If one didn’t know the way, they could only grope along blindly.

Gu Xiaorou, familiar with the path, chose one and continued forward.

No sooner had Lu Chuan and the others stepped into the cave, Xu Lingyun arrived.

Standing at the entrance, she noticed a pile of black slag on the ground, and her expression immediately grew solemn.

She stepped forward, touched the slag, and felt its warmth.

Instantly, her eyes widened in utter surprise.

This searing warmth had definitely been created recently!

She seemed to guess who the person turned to ash may have been.

Looking up at the cave, she swallowed nervously.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to enter the cave.

She had to deliver the news back to her family. If she could provide such a valuable clue to her family, she would be credited with a great achievement and might even stay in the Kunlun Domain in the future, progressing further along her Martial Path.

...

The Spirit Vein Cave was complex and winding; after several turns and an unknown distance, they still had not reached the exit.

The deeper they went into the cave, the denser the surrounding spiritual aura became.

"How much longer until we reach the Kunlun Domain?"

Lu Chuan looked to Gu Xiaorou and asked.

She continued to lead the way, looked back at Lu Chuan, and replied, "We’re almost there. Keep going forward, and when we see the light, we’ll have reached the exit!"

Lu Chuan looked ahead to the narrow end of the cave passage, barely discerning a glimmer of light.

As the three of them advanced, the hint of brightness slowly became more luminous. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Soon, they approached the mouth of the cave.

Looking out from the entrance, they beheld a breathtaking view of natural scenery.

They were halfway up the mountain, looking out at a vast expanse of nature, and Lu Chuan had never felt such abundant natural spiritual energy before, not even the rarest Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands in the secular world could compare to this place.

"Is this... the Kunlun Domain? A world secluded from the secular world?"

Lu Chuan marveled.

Gu Xiaorou gazed at the scenery ahead and said, "This is where I grew up. Follow me."
