167: Chapter 164 Annulnt_1 167: Chapter 164 Annulnt_1 Lu Chuan fell into a state of weakness.
Although the power of the Sword Nourishing Gourd was strong, the current state of his Divine Sense was such that he would exhaust its power just by manipulating a single flying sword, leaving him unable to fight again.
It could be said to be a double-edged sword.
However, he forced himself not to collapse to the ground; instead, he clasped his hands towards the Great Elder and said, “I concede.”
Everyone present was utterly baffled.
They had been full of expectation when they heard that Lu Chuan actually dared to wager with Profound Sect’s Great Elder.
But they hadn’t seen Lu Chuan take any action, and it seed the wager had ended before it even started.
They didn’t even know what had happened.
“Wasn’t it said that Lu Chuan was going to kill Long Tianya right under the Great Elder’s nose?
He didn’t do anything, so why is he conceding now?”
“I have no idea.
Is this kid joking around?”
“Look quickly at Long Tianya; there’s a lot of blood flowing from his chest and back.
It looks like he’s been pierced by sothing, and he no longer has a heartbeat!”
“Damn, Long Tianya is dead?
How did Lu Chuan do it?”
…
Everyone was confused.
Only Shen Ruhai alone understood what had actually happened.
He looked at Lu Chuan with so surprise and muttered to himself, “Was that a Magic Artifact just now?
Its power is so formidable that even I would be caught off guard and unable to defend in ti.
This youngster, Lu Chuan, is no simple character.”
Of course, the Great Elder and Shen Ruhai were only too late to prevent the flying sword from piercing Long Tianya.
If the flying sword were aid at them, they could have blocked it, but most likely they would have suffered considerably.
Seizing the opportunity, Shen Ruhai burst into laughter and mocked, “Old dog of the Profound Sect, to think I actually thought you were quite capable.
Unexpectedly, you can’t even block the tactics of a junior and allowed soone to be killed under your watch.
You might as well stop being the Great Elder of the Profound Sect and go back to farming instead!”
The Great Elder was grinding his teeth in anger; he had not anticipated Lu Chuan had such a trick up his sleeve.
However, as the Great Elder of the leading sect in the world, it would not look good to renege in front of so many people.
He could only admit defeat according to the bet and said, “You are formidable.
I will write off the matter of killing Long Hao.
But rember, I have marked you.
You better not let see you again, or I will not let you off so easily next ti!”
After speaking, he tossed Long Tianya’s body on the ground like garbage, and left the spot with his subordinates, furious.
Only then did Lu Chuan breathe a sigh of relief and slumped down to the ground.
A smile appeared on his face.
The wager just now not only gave him the chance to kill Long Tianya but also made the Great Elder promise not to pursue the matter any further.
It was indeed killing two birds with one stone.
Who knows if the Great Elder would regret agreeing to this bet after finding out in the future that Lu Chuan is Luo Yunshang’s son.
He took out a few elixir pills, ate them, and barely recovered so strength.
Then he stood up, walked to Shen Ruhai, and clasped his hands while bowing, “Thank you for your assistance, senior.
I, Lu Chuan, will surely repay this kindness tenfold in the future!”
Shen Ruhai laughed heartily and said, “What’s there to thank for?
You are my future son-in-law, it’s only right for to help you.”
A hint of helplessness appeared on Lu Chuan’s face as he said, “Senior, although Miss Yourong and I do indeed have a marriage arrangent, but…”
Shen Ruhai interrupted with a smile, “Yourong has told everything.
You did not state it clearly at the ti, but chose a more fashionable way by agreeing on a ti to et.
If the person shows up, it ans refusal; if not, it signifies agreent.
And since you didn’t show up that day, doesn’t that an you agreed?”
Lu Chuan smacked his forehead suddenly, rembering the agreent he had made with Shen Yourong.
He had intended to go, but coincidentally had been forced by Long Tianya and Long Hao to leap into River Ling, nearly losing his life and completely forgetting about the matter.
However, fate works in mysterious ways.
If he hadn’t failed to keep the appointnt back then, the Shen family would not have co today, and he might well have died at the hands of the Great Elder.
Suddenly, Shen Ruhai’s face revealed a trace of embarrassnt before he continued, “However, Lu Chuan, my Shen family has one request, which you must agree to before I can consent to you being with Yourong.”
Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked, “What request?”
Shen Ruhai explained, “The thing is, your marriage arrangent with Yourong was set early on, and it was my father who decided it without our agreent.
We didn’t say much, respecting the elder’s decision, but as Yourong grew older and her body matured, we discovered that she has a special physique with a martial talent comparable to a demon, progressing very rapidly.
However, this special physique also cos with certain side effects.”
“At the ti my father ntioned that you could suppress the side effects within Yourong’s body, and we wanted to find you as soon as possible to resolve her issues.
Fortunately, you two t by chance, and Yourong told us about how you helped her manage her side effects.”
“Actually, things would have been fine up to this point, but not long ago, I t a master who, upon examining Yourong’s physique, told us that Yourong has a rarely seen Profound Yang Sacred Body once in a thousand years.
The only way to relieve her internal side effects is to find soone with a Profound Yin Sacred Body.
Only by complenting Yin and Yang can the side effects be eliminated.”
“Let ask you first, have you ever experienced a very cold energy within your body, making you feel icy and in unbearable pain?”
Lu Chuan shook his head, “No.”
Shen Ruhai said, “Then you are not the possessor of the Profound Yin Sacred Body.”
“And the requirent I just ntioned is, you can still be the son-in-law of our Shen family, but you must agree to let Yourong find another man with the Profound Yin Sacred Body.
After all, this concerns her life’s safety.
If you agree, my Shen family can provide you with the top-level resources to make your progress skyrocket.
But if you disagree, then the marriage arrangent between you and Yourong will have to be called off.
Don’t worry, the Shen family will give you ample compensation.”
At this mont, Shen Yourong walked over.
Although she wasn’t wearing her tight leather outfit today, the clothes she wore still couldn’t fully conceal her profound curves, unavoidably drawing sideways glances.
She said sowhat awkwardly, “This is all my father’s requirent; it has nothing to do with .”
Lu Chuan couldn’t help but ruefully smile, thinking to himself what man in the world could accept his wife looking for another man.
This was clearly forcing him to call off the engagent.
Fortunately, he had been planning to cancel the engagent anyway, which now saved him a lot of trouble.
He took the opportunity to say, “Elder, I’m afraid I cannot accept this condition.
Since that’s the case, let’s call off the marriage arrangent.”
Shen Ruhai sighed, “Actually, you don’t have to stick to traditional concepts.
The tis are rapidly changing, and it’s not impossible that there may appear a phenonon of one wife with multiple husbands in the future.
There’s truly nothing shaful about it.”
“Dad!” Shen Yourong’s face flushed red with embarrassnt, finding Shen Ruhai’s words simply unreasonable.
Lu Chuan, with a look of annoyed helplessness, said, “Elder, let’s just forget it.”
Shen Ruhai looked regretful, “Actually, when I saw you were able to kill soone right under the nose of that old dog from the Profound Sect, I knew you had extraordinary potential.
I really had high hopes for you, but since you are unwilling, I won’t force you.”
“But rest assured, I will give you ample compensation.
And if the people from the Profound Sect co to trouble you, you can co to , and I will definitely support you!”
Lu Chuan smiled, “Compensation is not necessary, since both parties agree to the arrangent, and I haven’t suffered any loss.”
Shen Ruhai heard this and, relieved, said, “Lu Chuan, I swear to heaven, I didn’t an to do this on purpose.
It’s truly for the sake of Yourong’s life.
I must find a man with the Profound Yin Sacred Body for her.”
“That expert also gave this Jade Pendant, telling that whenever it encounters soone with the Profound Yin Sacred Body, it will react.
Let show you.”
As he spoke, Shen Ruhai took out a Jade Pendant exuding bursts of cold air and handed it to Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan took one look at the Jade Pendant and realized that it was extraordinary, an excellent material for crafting Formations.
“You see, as soon as it encounters soone with the Profound Yin Sacred Body, this Jade Pendant will emit a bright light.”
Lu Chuan looked at the Jade Pendant and noticed that it was emitting a faint glow.
He said, “Isn’t it shining right now?
Could it be that there’s soone with the Profound Yin Sacred Body present in this courtyard?”
Shen Ruhai was startled for a mont, then took a closer look at the Jade Pendant, indeed finding a faint glow that had not appeared before.
His face full of surprise, he said, “Could it be there truly is soone here with the Profound Yin Sacred Body?”
Standing to the side, Shen Yourong also widened her eyes, then her gaze fell on Lu Chuan, saying, “It can’t be that Lu Chuan is the bearer of the Profound Yin Sacred Body!”
She was actually quite satisfied with Lu Chuan, especially after witnessing how rapidly he had grown in such a short ti, it was nothing short of breathtaking.
In fact, she was not too fond of the Profound Yin Sacred Body that Shen Ruhai insisted on finding for him.
For one, this contradicted her grandfather’s wishes, and for another, the Profound Yin Sacred Body sounded like sothing a weakling would have.
She liked strong and brave n, not wishing to marry a weakling in the future.
But if Lu Chuan were the bearer of the Profound Yin Sacred Body, then everything would be perfect.
Shen Ruhai turned towards Lu Chuan, saying, “But that expert ntioned that the bearer of the Profound Yin Sacred Body would exude an extre cold energy within their body, but Lu Chuan just said he didn’t have it.”
At this mont, Chu ngyao walked over with a look of grievance.
She had seen Lu Chuan talking with the Shen family father and daughter for a while, assuming they were discussing marriage matters, which made her feel incredibly upset.
Although she had never formally agreed to be Lu Chuan’s girlfriend, even if Lu Chuan had other marriage engagents, she had no right to interfere, but her heart just felt uncomfortable.
She wanted to ask Lu Chuan why, if he was planning to beco soone else’s son-in-law, he still ca to rescue her.
“Lu Chuan, I want to talk to you.”
Lu Chuan, Shen Ruhai, and Shen Yourong all turned their heads to look.
Just then, the Jade Pendant in Shen Ruhai’s hand suddenly flared with light and flew straight towards Chu ngyao, turning into a streak of light that entered her body.
Shen Ruhai’s complexion changed dramatically as he exclaid, “Profound Yin Sacred Body!
She is the Profound Yin Sacred Body!”
“But…but how can it be a girl?
Could it be my daughter must marry another girl???”
