Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1045 - 735 Lu Chen Can’t Possibly Die Like This!

Ji Qiuyu had just finished psyching herself up when she left the room.

However, as soon as she stepped out, she heard some noise outside.

Suddenly, a person clad in black thrust a sword towards her. Ji Qiuyu quickly dodged and raised her hand, causing the Spirit Sword from her room to fly into her grasp.

"Who’s there!"

Ji Qiuyu swung her sword, sending a Sword Qi directly at the person in black, who did not tremble before her but instead immediately turned and fled from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Ji Qiuyu frowned. A assassin appearing in the City Lord’s Mansion was not something she could let go easily. She immediately followed up, wanting to find out who the assassin was, and most importantly, who had sent him and for what purpose.

At this moment, Ji Qiuyu had no idea that the other party might be using a diversion tactic.

As soon as Ji Qiuyu followed the assailant, another man dressed in black reached the City Lord’s Mansion and appeared at the Puppet Lu Chen’s door.

Lu Chen’s real body was still immersed in communication with Su Hanyan and had not realized that his puppet was about to face trouble. Seeing as it was just a puppet, Lu Chen hadn’t focused much on it.

The man in black sensed the situation inside the room, found someone who seemed to be meditating.

Without hesitation, the man in black burst in and thrust his sword at Lu Chen’s puppet, which did not dodge at all and was directly pierced in the chest by the assassin.

Seeing this, the man in black was stunned; he knew that with his strength at the Yin-Yang Realm First Layer, it should be easy to kill a Creation Realm Cultivator, but he had not expected it to be this easy.

Could something be amiss?

Meanwhile.

The real Lu Chen shuddered all over and his face turned grim.

His puppet had been tampered with?

Who was it?

Regrettably, he had focused all his attention on his real body and had not noticed the puppet’s condition.

It seemed he would have to ask Yun Xianxian to make another puppet for him.

Although the puppet was now damaged, Lu Chen still had a final bit of connection with it. He immediately used this connection to raise the puppet’s head and saw the black-clad man in front of him.

As Lu Chen raised his head and opened his eyes, the man in black came to his senses—it seemed he had been overthinking; it was not anything unusual, perhaps just that this Lu Chen lacked vigilance, or might have been too absorbed in cultivation, which made the assassination so easy.

The puppet controlled by Lu Chen queried, "Who… who are you?"

The man in black sneered and replied, "You do not need to know. All you need to know is that you have offended someone you shouldn’t have."

With that, the black-clad man struck again, ready to decapitate Lu Chen’s head and take it back to settle his mission. However, just then, Lu Chen’s puppet revealed a peculiar smile.

Seeing this smile, the man in black instantly sensed the danger, but before he could dodge, Lu Chen’s puppet exploded right there. The explosive force of a Creation Realm Cultivator’s blast was immense, but Lu Chen had controlled the explosion’s force.

The man in black was blown away. At this moment, Ji Qiuyu, who was pursuing another black-clad man within Black Moon City, suddenly felt the explosion from the City Lord’s Mansion and realized that something had happened there.

Ji Qiuyu then realized she had fallen for a diversionary tactic.

Her expression slightly changed, knowing that the assassin had lured her away but had not attacked her, indicating that his target could only have been Lu Chen.

Ji Qiuyu hurried back.

When she reached the City Lord’s Mansion, the courtyard where Lu Chen resided had been blown into a crater, and Lu Chen was nowhere to be seen.

Ji Qiuyu immediately checked for auras and discovered that the explosion had indeed been caused by a Creation Realm Cultivator. She was struck dumb at that moment.

The presence of a Creation Realm Cultivator could only mean Lu Chen.

Ji Qiuyu suddenly felt all strength leave her body; she slumped to the ground, her eyes hollow as she stared at the large pit.

For a moment, Ji Qiuyu’s mind went blank, even forgetting her sorrow.

"How... How could this happen..."

"No... it’s impossible, Lu Chen couldn’t just die like that."

Ji Qiuyu then stood up and began searching for any evidence that Lu Chen was still alive. After her search, she found no bloodstains or human remains, which likely meant that Lu Chen was still alive.

However, this self-explosion was hard to explain...

Ji Qiuyu thought again, perhaps an assassin had tried to kill Lu Chen, but was instead defeated by him. Being a dead man walking, the assassin chose to self-explode.

But...

Ji Qiuyu also knew that this explanation was a bit far-fetched.

If it really was the enemy’s self-explosion, a Creation Realm’s self-explosion could potentially destroy the entire City Lord’s Mansion, even with protective arrays within Black Moon City.

If it truly was an assassin’s self-explosion, he wouldn’t have controlled the power of the blast. It must have been Lu Chen, fearing collateral damage to others in the City Lord’s Mansion, who could have controlled the explosive force, creating only a small crater.

Even though Ji Qiuyu knew the likelihood that Lu Chen was gone was high, she still couldn’t accept the reality. Although she and Lu Chen were not yet Daoist couples, they had confirmed their relationship, and her feelings for him had grown incredibly deep. How could she accept his death?

Ji Qiuyu scanned the surroundings again, confirming the absence of flesh and blood, she continued to deceive herself internally. Lu Chen must have gone after other assassins, which is why he hadn’t returned; she just needed to wait a little longer, and he may come back.

Then, Ji Qiuyu continued to wait in front of the large crater.

Meanwhile,

In the Tianchen World, at the Imperial Palace of Great Sum in Black Dragon City.

After Lu Chen had destroyed the puppet, he pulled back his Divine Sense completely.

Su Hanyan could tell that Lu Chen was somewhat preoccupied, but she didn’t ask further, merely laying quietly.

However, it wasn’t long before Lu Chen perked up again and began to address serious matters.

While moving, Lu Chen said, "I’ve approved your Cultivation Academy, but there is one more requirement." Explore new worlds at novelbuddy

Su Hanyan, sounding weary, said, "You... you want to go back on your word?"

Just a moment ago, he had clearly stated that as long as she served him, he would agree to establish the quota for the Cultivation Academy, but now he was making additional demands.

Lu Chen indifferently said, "If you don’t agree, let it be. I’ve already taken advantage, so it’s no loss to me."

Hearing Lu Chen’s rogue words, Su Hanyan found herself completely unable to do anything about him and could only ask, "What... what... requirement?"

Lu Chen replied, "Very... well... quite simple, I’ve got other matters soon, so I can’t continue now. However, I really like it here, so just stay in the Imperial Palace for a couple of months."

Su Hanyan instantly understood Lu Chen’s meaning. This scoundrel probably hadn’t had enough fun, but was currently busy and afraid she’d run off, thus wanting to keep her and continue playing with her for these two months.

Su Hanyan bit her lip, "You... you’re really a foolish... ah... lord!"

Su Hanyan didn’t even know how to curse Lu Chen appropriately; she felt that the world’s vilest words would be a compliment to him.

And this guy had such thick skin; even if she cursed him, he would take it as a compliment.

Su Hanyan had no other choice, knowing she couldn’t escape for the next two months, so she said, "Fine... I... agree."
