Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 554 - 514: The Hidden Xu Family_1

In the carriage, Yang Gui looked at the old man behind him, his nervousness causing cold sweat to slide down his forehead.

"Don’t worry, the men I’ve sent all have the power of the Saint Realm," Old Xu said slowly.

"I’m afraid that’s still not enough... I am a Martial Prince Realm Grade 1, and I was powerless in that lad’s hands," he admitted.

"It seems this fellow didn’t just accidentally pick up the Divine Tree branch, he’s a tough character to deal with."

Old Xu turned his head toward the girl and said, "Lingyun, you take care of it. Kill him, and you’ll have made a great achievement. The Xu family won’t let you down."

"You might even have the chance to go to the Xu family in the Kunlun Domain to continue your training for a few years. When you return to the secular world, the Xu family will truly be unmatched."

Excitement bloomed on the girl’s delicate and aloof face.

"Grandfather, what exactly is the Kunlun Domain?" she asked.

"That’s a land of immortals, a place where the Spiritual Energy of the world converges. It’s teeming with cultivators. If you can go there, with your talents, you could break through to the Martial Emperor Realm in two or three years."

At the mention of the Martial Emperor Realm, Xu Lingyun’s aloof expression finally changed.

"Martial Emperor Realm... If I cultivate in the secular world, I fear I’ll never break through to the Martial Emperor Realm in this lifetime, but in the Kunlun Domain, is such a significant change really possible?"

Xu Lingyun’s heart began to throb with excitement; she had always dreamt of breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm and achieving a tremendous leap in her strength!

"Of course, so you must grasp this opportunity. Go, kill that lad, and you’ll get the chance to go to the Kunlun Domain!"

Xu Lingyun nodded firmly and then stepped out of the carriage, heading toward Lu Chuan’s location.

She was tall and statuesque, standing at one meter seventy-five, with long black hair that was smooth and beautiful. Her tall stature coupled with a curvaceous figure was incredibly alluring to men.

However, her aloof expression and powerful aura were enough to deter a host of suitors.

As she approached Lu Chuan, she saw from afar that he stood beside a taxi, and the dozen or so men in black around the vehicle had all been taken down.

Xu Lingyun’s gaze turned icy, and she clenched her fists tightly.

On Lu Chuan’s side, he had just dealt with the group of men when he turned his head and saw Xu Lingyun’s figure.

Seeing her fierce demeanor, he knew this woman meant trouble.

"Another one courting death!" Lu Chuan tightened his grip, walking toward Xu Lingyun.

"Who exactly are you? Speak clearly, or killing you won’t even be satisfying!" Lu Chuan shouted.

Xu Lingyun’s sharp eyes surveyed Lu Chuan; she couldn’t help but take a second glance at his handsome face.

But quickly, her eyes filled with a ruthless light.

So what if he was handsome? No one could stop her from going to the Kunlun Domain!

"Today is the day you die. Dying by my hand, Xu Lingyun, you won’t be at a loss," she said indifferently, continuing to walk toward Lu Chuan.

"Xu Lingyun? The Xu family? Is there such a family in the Capital City? Why haven’t I heard of it?" Lu Chuan wondered. He knew most of the eminent aristocratic families in the Capital City, and he found it strange that he had never heard of this family.

A family that could muster so many Saint Realm powerhouses should not, in principle, be an ordinary clan force.

"You don’t need to have heard of us. The world we live in exists on another plane. Today, you are extremely fortunate to see me," she said proudly.

Hearing Xu Lingyun’s arrogant words, Lu Chuan suddenly understood.

Her meaning was not that they were from another world, but rather, they were a hidden aristocratic family—not known or seen by anyone, yet in the shadows, they wielded control over everything.

Whether in Cathay or America, there were similar family powers, hidden in the deepest layers but with unimaginable strength.

The last time Lu Chuan encountered a hidden aristocratic family was the Nangong family.

This Xu family was new to him.

"I shouldn’t have offended your Xu family—certainly not enough to make you reveal yourselves in such a grand manner against me."

"I wonder, is that fellow Yang Gui one of your people?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lingyun scoffed with disdain. "You’re quite perceptive to know it’s Yang Gui’s doing. But regardless, you’re a dead man today. As long as I kill you, I will qualify to go to the Kunlun Domain!"

Having said that, she immediately took out a pair of daggers and charged toward Lu Chuan.

Clad in black, she moved with extreme speed, darting over like a fleeting shadow.

Lu Chuan’s heart jolted; this girl’s strength was at least at the level of the Martial King Realm!

Another formidable opponent.

Lu Chuan hastily retreated two steps, dodging Xu Lingyun’s slashing attack.

Immediately afterward, Xu Lingyun shot a dagger from her hand, stabbing it towards Lu Chuan.

Whoosh!

The dagger struck Lu Chuan’s arm, the blade slicing through flesh and blood.

"Is that all you’ve got!"

With a flick of her wrist, the thrown dagger shot back and landed in her hand.

"Your speed and defense are both inferior to mine; your death today is certain!"

"Hand over the Divine Tree branch!"

Lu Chuan quickly circulated the Nine Heavens Profound Fire within his body, flames gathering at the wound, which healed in the blink of an eye.

"Courting death!"

Lu Chuan didn’t want to waste any more time; he needed to get to the Kunlun Domain as soon as possible.

Whoosh!

Lu Chuan charged at Xu Lingyun, pushing his speed to the limit, almost teleporting, arriving right in front of her.

Xu Lingyun’s pretty face showed shock as she quickly raised her dagger to fend off Lu Chuan’s assault.

Lu Chuan slammed his fist onto the dagger she was holding.

The punch sent Xu Lingyun flying, and even though his fist struck the blade, Lu Chuan gave it no heed.

In just an instant, his injured fist healed as if brand-new.

Xu Lingyun, who had fallen to the ground, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her face filled with disbelief.

She lifted her head, looking at Lu Chuan’s figure, feeling terrified.

The wounds on that arm and the ones on the fist had all mended as if they had never existed!

What kind of heaven-defying self-healing ability was this, almost like an indestructible, invincible body.

"You’ve offended the Xu family; we will not let you off!" freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Is that so? Since that’s the case, before I leave, I might as well wipe out your insignificant Xu family."

Lu Chuan said dismissively.

Xu Lingyun’s eyes widened in anger as she spoke sharply, "Presumptuous! The Xu family is not something you can destroy; fighting against a formidable force, you’re no more than an ant waiting to be crushed!"

"Then I’ll start with you. I’ll kill you first and then talk."

Xu Lingyun quickly stood up, her slender and well-proportioned legs trembling slightly.

The power of that punch had left her frightened.

She seemed to realize that Lu Chuan was not of ordinary strength.

"Hand over the Divine Tree branch and the Xu family may choose to spare you; otherwise, you’re undoubtedly doomed!"

"What do you want the branch for? Tell me."

Lu Chuan continued, "Also, do you really want to go to the Kunlun Domain that much? With your strength, once you get there, you better keep a low profile."

"Enough talk, the branch doesn’t belong to you; it should return to our hands!" Xu Lingyun retorted.

Her words filled Lu Chuan with rage.

How many people had died and how much effort had been put in to obtain this branch?

Why should this woman brazenly think she could take it back for nothing?

This damned hidden aristocratic family was nothing but a bunch of robbers.

"The Xu family... today I will discipline your clan and teach you what rules mean."
