Chapter 1478: Chapter 1476: Setting the Trap! Learning the Truth!

Zhu Qilue didn’t resist.

It’s unclear whether it was because he couldn’t react in time or for some other reason.

In any case.

He was now being choked by Tian Lu, held by the throat by a servant from the Water Clan.

It was utterly humiliating!

His face instantly flushed red, and he gripped Tian Lu’s wrist, seemingly trying to pry it open.

But to no avail.

Tian Lu’s hand was like an iron clamp, unmoved no matter how much force Zhu Qilue applied.

Meanwhile.

Tian Lu wore a domineering, sinister smile, not considering Zhu Qilue, the young master of the Fire Clan, to be of any importance.

"Master Zhu, don’t shout at me. I’m in a bad mood right now, don’t provoke me. Otherwise, I have a reason to kill you, remember, you’re near Wenyu City."

His features twisted, staring fiercely at Zhu Qilue, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Zhu Qilue’s face grew paler, devoid of color, barely able to breathe.

Seeing Zhu Qilue on the brink of suffocation, Tian Lu finally threw him to the ground, as if he were trash.

Sigh—— 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Sigh——

Sigh——

Zhu Qilue gasped heavily, his eyes bulging out.

He almost lost his life here.

Tian Lu looked down disdainfully at Zhu Qilue, ready to leave.

Suddenly!

Zhu Qilue suddenly reached out and grabbed Tian Lu’s ankle.

"Wait a minute."

Tian Lu paused, his face contorted fiercely, his eyes suddenly erupting with savage rage.

"Let go."

He spoke in a calm, yet firm voice.

"Where did you take Lin Fan?"

Zhu Qilue seemed unhearing, persistently asking, as if possessed.

"I told you to let go, did you hear me? I’m in a bad mood, if you don’t let go, I can’t guarantee you’ll be alive in the next second."

"Where is Lin Fan?"

"Zhu Qilue! Have you lost your mind?! What does it matter to you if Lin Fan is dead or alive? Asking so many questions won’t benefit you, I suggest you leave immediately, don’t get in the way."

Tian Lu’s body began to tremble violently, a wild aura suddenly surged out of him.

Terrifying beyond measure!

It made one’s hair stand on end.

However.

Zhu Qilue showed no panic at all; he held onto Tian Lu’s ankle firmly, not letting him take a step forward.

"You’re asking for death, you damn fool, you deserve to die! Just like Lin Fan!"

"If you don’t tell, I definitely won’t... won’t let you leave." Zhu Qilue’s eyes were filled with determination, his expression serious.

Tian Lu took a deep breath, suddenly smiled coldly.

"Hehe... Hahaha!"

"Fine, it doesn’t matter if I tell you, since you’re about to die. Later don’t blame me for being heartless, because this is what you asked for."

"Lin Fan is in the hands of the Young Master, do you think he can survive? You’re wasting your effort, at this moment, Lin Fan has probably turned into a cloud of blood mist, as dead as can be, and you still want to know where he is, it’s laughable! Ridiculously laughable! Hahaha!"

Tian Lu laughed wildly, speaking with arrogance.

"The young master you speak of... is it... Lan Zhengqing?" Zhu Qilue’s cheek twitched fiercely, suddenly let go of Tian Lu’s ankle, and slowly stood up from the ground.

Tian Lu was taken aback, confused.

Just now Zhu Qilue seemed half-dead, how did he suddenly stand up? And wasn’t it obvious that the young master referred to Lan Zhengqing; were there other young masters in the Water Clan? Why ask such an idiotic question, is he brain-damaged?

Despite these doubts, he quickly dismissed them.

He cocked his eyebrow, gaze arrogant and reckless, coldly sneering at Zhu Qilue, "Who else could it be? Who in the Water Clan apart from Lan Zhengqing dares call themselves young master?"

Sigh——

Zhu Qilue sighed deeply, a strange curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he laughed sinisterly.

His eyes instantly turned extremely sharp, like a hawk, shining with a cold light.

Tian Lu hesitated, inexplicably trembling inside, a layer of cold sweat directly emerged on his forehead, his voice began to tremble involuntarily.

"You... What are you..."

"You heard it, right, Miss?"

Zhu Qilue smiled, eyes blazing as he glared at Tian Lu, speaking without turning around.

"Miss... what Miss?"

Tian Lu’s face went pale, fear-stricken.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Lan Yunwei’s figure appeared out of nowhere behind Zhu Qilue, with a stern, solemn, and cold expression, devoid of any emotion.

"Ah——"

Tian Lu was terrified at Lan Yunwei’s sudden appearance, his scalp tingling, he retreated several steps, falling to the ground.

"M... M... M... Miss... You... You... You haven’t... haven’t walked away... how... how..."

Lan Yunwei’s eyes burned with flaming anger.

"If I had walked away, how would I hear such explosive news. It seems Master Zhu was right, it really involves my brother."

"No... Sh... No..." Tian Lu frantically waved his hands, trying to deny.

This was the secret mission given by Lan Zhengqing, it mustn’t be revealed to anyone.

But just now he foolishly spilled everything.

It’s over.

Utterly over!

Not only finished in front of Lan Yunwei but also finished in front of Lan Zhengqing!

If Lan Zhengqing finds out, he’d surely kill him immediately.

His whole body shook violently, he paused for several seconds, nervously kneeling in front of Lan Yunwei and Zhu Qilue, shivering uncontrollably.

"Miss... misunderstanding... it’s all a misunderstanding... I... I was just talking nonsense... really! I was just talking nonsense... my mind is not right... my mind is ill... please don’t take it seriously..."

"Initially, I didn’t believe Master Zhu’s words. But as I was about to leave, you appeared, so I stayed and hid in the Void to hear what’s really going on. Unexpectedly, hehe."

Thud thud thud!

Tian Lu flusteredly banged his head on the ground, instantly cracking openings on his forehead, blood flowing incessantly.

"Miss, you mustn’t go to find the Young Master... you mustn’t go... or... or I’ll be dead..."

"Then Lin Fan won’t die?!" Lan Yunwei roared furiously.

Tian Lu gasped, his expression stiffened.

Eyes vacant and hollow.

"I thought you’d just cripple Lin Fan, throw him out of Wenyu City. But I didn’t think you’d take Lin Fan to Lan Zhengqing... what does he want Lin Fan for? What connection does he have with Lin Fan?"

Tian Lu remained motionless, as if immobilized, neither speaking nor showing any expression.

Zhu Qilue watched interestedly nearby, originally about to taunt them.

Suddenly!

He sensed Tian Lu’s expression was off.

His eyes seemed to gleam with a hysterical cold light.

A desperate fight to the death.

Could it be... he...

Before Zhu Qilue could think it through.

Suddenly!

Boom!

Tian Lu, like a rocket, shot up from the ground, directly towards Lan Yunwei.

"You want to kill me, then I’ll kill you! If I die, you all die!"
