Lu family, meeting hall.
"Oh? The Lord Mother went to the dungeon by herself? And told you to take good care of the boy?" A deep and powerful voice came slowly.
"Yes, Patriarch!"
The captain of the guards knelt down and answered with his head down.
"What other reactions did she have? Tell me in detail."
Upon hearing this, the guard captain nervously recounted, "When the mistress saw the young man, she was initially disgusted. Then he asked, 'Who are you?' Her expression completely changed. She was distraught for a long time before finally ordering her subordinates to take good care of the young man."
After these words were spoken, the meeting hall fell into an eerie silence.
After a long time, the low and majestic voice sounded again.
"Then do as the mistress says."
"Yes, Master!" The captain of the guards responded respectfully.
After the chief guard left the meeting hall, a moment later, there was a loud bang, and the tables and chairs in the meeting hall were shattered into dust.
I saw a man in black sitting on a high seat. He exuded a powerful and terrifying aura, which made people feel afraid.
The man looked to be in his thirties, with a sense of maturity and stability that came with years of experience. His face was sharply defined, with deep features. His lips were slightly pursed beneath his high nose, revealing a subtle coldness.
At this moment, the man's eyes were as dark as the night, filled with chilling anger.
This person is none other than the head of the Lu family—Lu Jingcheng.
Lu Jingcheng slowly uttered three words, with a hint of gnashing of teeth.
"Chen, Tian, Hao!"
Then he began to summon.
"Someone come."
"Go to Guiyuan Continent and bring Shen Tianhao's head back to this family master!"
"I obey your command!"
…
The next day.
The three spirit boats quickly headed towards the east.
On the spirit boat in the middle.
"It's over. Master has sent us a message again. Should we reply? But if we reply, won't Master chase us back?" Zhuge Youlin said dejectedly.
Wen Yuchu chuckled and said, "Then I won't reply."
Zhuge Youlin grinned, "I'll do as you say! If Master asks, I'll say it was your idea!"
Yu Changying leaned against the boat pole, raised an eyebrow and said, "Hey, brother Youlin, when did you become so smart?"
"I'm very smart!" Zhuge Youlin snorted.
Pei Su suddenly said, "We should be able to enter Hengzhou before noon today."
Xiao Zechuan looked at the map of Changming Realm and said expressionlessly, "Hengzhou is a large territory. The Lu family is located in the capital of Hengzhou. We are still far away from the capital of Hengzhou."
Chen Yan stepped closer and asked, "When do you expect to arrive in Hengzhou capital?"
Xiao Zechuan looked up.
"The day after tomorrow morning."
Yu Changying also stepped forward, his expression becoming more serious. "Then we must be prepared. First, we must consider the route to evacuate the Hengzhou capital."
Xiao Zechuan spread out the map.
Several people gathered around.
Chen Yan squatted down and pointed at several directions on the map.
"Preliminary analysis indicates that there are three possible evacuation routes from Hengzhou's capital. However, according to the Hu family's intelligence, most of the Lu family's troops are stationed along this route."
Zhuge Youlin sat directly on the deck, crossed his arms, and said, "Let's go to where the Lu family is. That would be more exciting!"
Several people glared at him unhappily.
Zhuge Youlin: "..." Is there anything wrong with what he said?
"That's right, the mistake is that you are too weak." Xiao Zechuan said slowly.
Zhuge Youlin was stunned and asked in horror, "How do you know what I'm thinking? Can you eavesdrop on my thoughts?"
Pei Su laughed and said, "Everything is written on your face. It's not difficult to find out."
Xiao Zechuan: "Yeah."
Zhuge Youlin: “?”
Wen Yuchu curled his lips and smiled, "This dangerous evacuation route is not something we can't consider. As the saying goes, the safest place is the most dangerous place."
Chen Yan raised her eyes to look at Wen Yuchu and understood what he meant.
Chen Yan nodded, but said: "But we can't just consider one way out."
Several people were discussing.
Zhuge Youlin occasionally interjected a few words, but he didn't understand anything.
Chi Yue fell asleep directly.
No need to listen.
After they finished their discussion, they called the team leader sent by the Hu family to discuss it together.
The leader sent by the Hu family was the eldest elder of the Hu family. After hearing their thrilling yet seemingly perfect plan, the eldest elder was extremely shocked. He could not imagine that this plan was discussed by these young men.
It’s...perfect!
But the only worry now is that Miss Shen and the others’ strength cannot support them to reach the second step of the plan.
In other words, he was afraid that they would die in the Lu family's encirclement and suppression in the first step of their plan.
"Miss Chen, it is too dangerous to only let you carry out the first step of the plan. Why not let me go with you?" The eldest elder of the Hu family said with a worried look on his face.
"No need." Chen Yan shook his head and said seriously: "We have the ability to protect ourselves."
The Hu family's elder was shocked and confused when he heard Chen Yan's firm words.
To this day, he has not seen Chen Yan's true strength.
As for Miss Shen's companions, he had seen them before.
But he always felt that they didn't seem to be trying their best.
The Hu family's eldest elder sighed softly: "In that case, then I will listen to Miss Shen."
…
Time passes by little by little.
At noon, the spiritual boat sailed into the territory of Hengzhou.
The Shura team and the Hu family team began to separate on the second day after entering Hengzhou.
After many twists and turns, the Shura team finally arrived at the capital of Hengzhou.
At this time, the capital of Hengzhou was still calm.
The eight members of the Shura team simply disguised themselves and then dispersed to find out about Shen Huai.
But no information about Shen Huai was found.
Therefore, Chen Yan and others set their sights on the people from the Lu family.
However, the Lu family’s security was tight and even stronger than they had imagined.
In a restaurant in the capital, Chen Yan and his eight companions, who had disguised themselves, sat down in the lobby on the first floor. There were many people coming and going, and it was quite lively.
The waiter came over with a wine jug and respectfully poured wine for them. "Dear guests, the wine you ordered is here. Please enjoy it."
The waiter asked with a smile, "Dear guests, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time in our Hengzhou capital?"
Chen Yan said calmly, "I came here once three years ago, but it was a hasty trip and I didn't stay in the Hengzhou capital for long."
"I see." The waiter said with a smile. He was also a gossipy person and often chatted with the guests in the restaurant.
"This flower wine is the signature of our restaurant, you must try it! I haven't asked you yet, distinguished guests, where are you from?" As he said this, the waiter asked another question as if casually.
Wen Yuchu smiled and whispered to his friends, "This person should be the Lu family's intelligence spy, specializing in gathering information."
