Twenty li to the west of the city.
Lu Chen had been lying in ambush for quite so ti.
He believed that Mo Buwen would definitely make Xu Qianqian co out.
Moreover, she would co alone.
Based on his understanding of Xu Qianqian, she would certainly not make a scene but would instead be very cautious.
As for Mo Buwen, he would surely create an elaborate ruse, keeping Xu Qianqian in the dark about his whereabouts.
But whether Mo Buwen would survive or not was now up to his own fortune.
If he survived, Lu Chen would naturally give him an opportunity!
The Heavenly Pill Pavilion was recruiting for nial positions, and he happened to have learned quite a bit about spiritual dicines from the Elder of Heavenly dicines; he just needed to impart a few tips, and he would definitely have the edge among these martial artists.
And the reason Lu Chen did not go directly to wait thirty li away was to guard against Xu Qianqian’s cunning.
As long as Xu Qianqian passed by him, he would then be able to subdue her in a snap!
Using the power of the Foundation Establishnt Stage to suppress soone in the Qi Refinent Realm was like picking sothing up from the palm of one’s hand, as long as he did not let his guard down.
Lu Chen would not make such a mistake!
After waiting for a long ti, Lu Chen indeed spotted a delicate figure dashing towards him.
It was undoubtedly Xu Qianqian!
"I didn’t expect her to co by herself!"
Lu Chen did not reveal himself imdiately, but allowed Xu Qianqian to dash past his hiding spot.
Once he confird that Xu Qianqian had no reinforcents, he cautiously erged and followed her for more than ten li.
Just as Xu Qianqian realized sothing was amiss and suddenly turned around, Lu Chen had already appeared in front of her, his hand seizing her throat!
"Lu Chen!"
Xu Qianqian did not show a hint of panic, perhaps because she had long anticipated that she was no match for Lu Chen!
"Xu Qianqian, long ti no see!"
Lu Chen said with a light chuckle, "I didn’t expect to encounter you here!"
He wasn’t going to outright say that Mo Buwen was his pawn; when tricking soone, mixing lies with the truth was the right approach.
Xu Qianqian, pulling herself together, said coldly, "Lu Chen, aren’t you afraid that I have a powerful senior from the Hehuan Sect protecting ?"
"You, a Qi Refinent Realm cultivator, have a powerful protector?"
Lu Chen looked disdainful and pretended to be unaware, counter-asking, "Are you talking about that Immortal Chen? Even he couldn’t capture , who else could you find?"
Chen Gaoshang was dead.
But Lu Chen had kept his actions under wraps and did not reveal that Chen Gaoshang had died by his hand; these words took Xu Qianqian by surprise.
Could it be that Lu Chen didn’t know Chen Gaoshang was dead?
Seeing her face reveal a flicker of shock, Lu Chen deliberately prodded further, "Why leave the safety of the imperial city and co here, if not to engage in so nefarious deed?"
"Lu Chen, if you have the guts, kill . If you don’t dare, then beat it!"
Xu Qianqian snapped, seemingly not afraid of Lu Chen at all.
But in her heart, she was very clear that pleading for rcy would be useless once in Lu Chen’s clutches!
Back in the imperial palace, if it hadn’t been for her protective jade talisman and Chen Gaoshang’s tily arrival, she would have probably been dead by now!
Lu Chen had long seen through Xu Qianqian’s facade, but to learn more accurate news about Qin Yaotiao, he had to continue the charade, pretending that he had just happened upon her.
"Do you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you? Xu Qianqian, if I killed you here, no one would ever know."
Lu Chen chuckled lightly but then retracted his hand, instead saying, "On my way here, I encountered quite a few martial artists. They were saying that the Hehuan Sect abandoned you. It seems that you must be without any support now, right?"
Xu Qianqian’s face changed abruptly, her composure shattered.
Lu Chen laughed and said, "I’m quite curious, though. You were clearly chosen, why were you then abandoned? Could it be that you had an affair with one of those Core Formation Stage elders?"
Xu Yueru was notoriously promiscuous; he had every reason to believe that Xu Qianqian could have done such a thing as well.
But his words were ant to infuriate Xu Qianqian, thus drawing out information about Qin Yaotiao!
As expected, a furious expression flashed across Xu Qianqian’s face!
