Chapter 138 finally arrives with a lie unlike Fang Lansheng's lengthy tale...

Unlike Fang Lansheng's long and rambling lies, these men were all experts, working together seamlessly and delivering deadly moves right from the start.

Lu Qing's pupils contracted, attempting to draw spiritual energy, only to find the underground space empty, devoid of any available spiritual energy. Sensing danger, Mei Jianchi flew out of his spirit pouch, unleashing a burst of green light in front of Lu Qing, blocking the attacks of several men.

The situation immediately reversed.

Old Hei was no naive fool. Seeing the man's protectiveness towards Fang Lansheng, she deliberately dragged Fang Lansheng towards the man's sword. The man hadn't expected Old Hei to be so persistent and had no choice but to temporarily back down. Upon seeing this, Old Hei immediately dragged Fang Lansheng back, sending Fang Lansheng towards the blade of whoever attacked Lu Qing.

Even so, the other side consisted of several people, all of whom were highly skilled. Seeing this stalemate, the group became ruthless, and one of them shouted, "Even if we don't take Sixteen, we must capture her. Bring in a few more people."

So the person who initially wanted to protect Fang Lansheng immediately activated the magical artifact, causing the air to ripple. Several figures appeared and disappeared.

Lu Qing's heart tightened, somewhat regretting that she had relied too much on absorbing spiritual energy and hadn't listened to Wu Chen's advice to cultivate properly. If this were the Fang family's shameless, relentless attack, even someone as powerful as Lao Hei wouldn't be able to help her. She was lost in thought as she fought. Suddenly, she saw figures appearing and disappearing amidst the fluctuations. One of them stumbled and fell in, followed by a series of others who tumbled in like sweet potatoes.

Everyone turned around warily, and there stood another tall and slender figure.

Lu Qing's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the figure until it slowly became clear and steadily walked out. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wu Chen!"

Wu Chen's handsome and gentle demeanor remained unchanged, like a spring breeze caressing Lu Qing's face, bringing a smile to her eyes. However, today's spring breeze carried a hint of blood. His right hand held a sword, while his left hand clutched a severed arm, seemingly taken from someone else, with blood dripping and gushing down as if expressing the original owner's sorrow.

Seeing that Lu Qing was completely unharmed, not even a single hair was messed up, Wu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, tossed the severed limb aside, and then reached out to Lu Qing, "Come here."

Lu Qing happily started walking.

But the Fang family wouldn't let her get away so easily, and they attacked Lu Qing again.

Wu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flick of his sword, a sword aura struck the throat of the man who had attacked first. The man hurriedly swung his sword to block and leaped to dodge, but the sword in his hand broke in two the moment it made contact with Wu Chen's sword aura. The powerful sword aura still struck his shoulder, and the man was sent flying.

The other members of the Fang family didn't bother to check the man's injuries. Someone shouted, "We must keep them here, otherwise..." Otherwise, if they didn't have Lu Qing in their hands, what else could they use to restrain Wu Chen?

They split into two groups: one to capture Lu Qing, and the other to try to stop Wu Chen.

Now that Old Hei had no more scruples, he immediately became arrogant, baring his teeth and claws as he blocked Lu Qing's path. Lu Qing took the opportunity to enjoy watching Wu Chen fight with someone.

With the Taiyi Sword in hand, Wu Chen only attacked and never defended, and almost none of the Fang family members could withstand him even once. Lu Qing stared at his figure as he spun around, looking at his waist, his legs, and his calm and unhurried demeanor, and her smile gradually became eerie.

As he waved his black hair, Old Hei asked her absentmindedly, "What are you laughing at?"

"Has he gotten even more handsome since I last saw him?" Lu Qing whispered.

Old Hei glanced at her, and oh my, look at her—slender waist, face like a peach blossom… Old Hei suddenly pulled back a strand of black hair and whipped himself hard. He was sharply reminding himself: No, Old Hei, you need to wake up! "Face like a peach blossom, heart like a serpent"—that's exactly the kind of person Wu Chen is. She'd already been tricked into becoming Qi Rui; if she fell for it again, she'd become his wet nurse. She'd rather spend that time flirting with someone like Fang Lansheng—she'd have no qualms about it.

Old Black refused to be seduced by beautiful women and continued to engage in fighting.

In the brief moment she was distracted, Wu Chen killed one person with each step, almost clearing the area.

Lu Qing happily rushed over and jumped into his arms.

Old Hei wisely dragged those people into a corner.

Wu Chen quickly reached out and hugged her. Lu Qing smiled broadly at him, wanting to kiss him but then suddenly remembered that the Fang family members were still there, so she pouted and hugged him tightly.

Wu Chen laughed out loud. With the bright moon in his arms, what more could he ask for?

Old Hei couldn't stand their whining. "Hey, hey, hey, don't do this again outside. There are so many Fang family members here, why aren't you hurrying up? If more people come, we'll never stop fighting."

Lu Qing hugged Wu Chen tightly twice more before sliding off. "Ask away!"

Old Hei really wanted to roll his eyes and ask Lu Qing: Where did your decisiveness, quick wit, insight, and wisdom go? How come you've become a hands-off manager as soon as Wu Chen arrives?

Wu Chen pointed to one of them, "Drag him over here."

Old Hei swiftly pulled it over.

The man was bound like a dumpling by Old Hei, with only his mouth, nose, and eyes showing. Wu Chen said, "Open the passage."

The man spat fiercely, "You're dreaming! Even if we die, we won't let you out to harm the Fang family."

Wu Chen's smile faded.

Old Hei laughed, "I'm so touched that you guys are so willing to stay with me. Come on, let's go have some fun together."

The man immediately screamed in terror, terrified by his own imagination, and struggled violently, crying out, "Monster, don't insult my innocence!"

Old Hei was so angry that he picked him up and slammed him to the ground. "Are you sick in the head? What are you thinking? My playing around is just playing around, and you're trying to link it to innocence? You're a shameless bastard. Shameless!"

Wu Chen looked down at him, "This place was probably set up by your Fang family to trap the Spirit Fruit back then. But I'm not the Spirit Fruit. There are countless people of mine outside. It's only a matter of time before they want to get in. But during this waiting period, I can slowly ask you questions, such as, that..."

He glanced back at the severed hand he had thrown on the ground. "I have plenty of patience. I'll try slowly."

Fang Lansheng watched all this from the side, then suddenly sneered, "Lu Qing, look. The people of the Divine Palace are cold-blooded to the core. One day, he will use such methods against you. You will definitely regret it."

"Who is he?" Wu Chen's eyes narrowed. Among so many people here, this guy was almost naked, and judging from his appearance, he was no good.

Old Hei's heart stirred with excitement; this was going to be a good show. She quickly rushed to complain, "This guy is the most shameless of all! He keeps trying to seduce people... He confesses his love in all sorts of ways, and just now he even used drugs and tried to seduce them..."
