Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 519 - 480 Pursuit in the Penglai Immortal Domain_1

Lu Chuan’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the three figures in mid-air, sensing that all three of them possessed the power of a Grade 7 Nascent Soul. His heart sank, and a bad premonition rose within him. He then asked, "Esteemed seniors, may I know why you have come here?"

Voracious Wolf, Army Destroyer, and Seven Kills all looked down coldly at Lu Chuan. The leader, Voracious Wolf, spoke icily, "We three are from the Penglai Immortal Domain. We have come here under orders to capture you and bring you back."

"Lu Chuan, you have killed three cultivators from our Penglai Immortal Domain in succession. Your crimes are unforgivable. You’d better surrender willingly and return with us. Otherwise, we three have the authority to execute you on the spot, without any mercy," they continued.

Lu Chuan furrowed his brow, never expecting that these three would be from the Penglai Immortal Domain. But after some thought, it seemed that on Earth today, only the Penglai Immortal Domain could send out three such powerful cultivators at once.

The most important point was that the Lu family from the Kunlun Domain and the Penglai Immortal Domain were Lu Chuan’s only known enemies, with perhaps the addition of the Medicine Sect. It was unlikely that any other forces would seek trouble with him.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Seniors, I must ask that you refrain from slandering me. When have I killed three of your Penglai Immortal Domain’s cultivators?"

Voracious Wolf responded coldly, "Tu Youming, the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest, and Taoist Priest Danyang—these three all died by your hand. What else is there for you to quibble over!"

Lu Chuan was taken aback and asked, "Tu Youming was also from your Penglai Immortal Domain?"

His question was born of confusion, as he couldn’t recall when he had killed three people from the Penglai Immortal Domain. By his count, there had only been the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest and Taoist Priest Danyang.

Only now did he realize that Tu Youming had also been one of their members.

"In this world today, all cultivators fall under the jurisdiction of our Penglai Immortal Domain, and Tu Youming is no exception," Voracious Wolf stated placidly.

Lu Chuan immediately pursed his lips and retorted, "In that case, it seems your Penglai Immortal Domain really doesn’t have much to boast about."

"What did you just say!" Army Destroyer, standing beside Voracious Wolf, glared at Lu Chuan, his aura intensifying.

Lu Chuan chuckled and said, "Please calm down, esteemed seniors. I was merely making a comment."

"Indeed, I did kill those three, but I was left with no other choice. Each of them wanted me dead, and for the sake of my own survival, I had to kill them to ensure my safety," he continued. "You are all cultivators and should understand the law of the jungle that governs the Cultivation World. They came to kill me, and I have no complaints. But if they were killed by me in retaliation, it’s simply their own fault. I had no intention of opposing your Penglai Immortal Domain. If anyone is to blame, it’s their own excessive greed which cost them their lives."

Seven Kills, who had a fiery temper, snorted coldly and barked, "Boy, stop spouting nonsense! The cultivators of our Penglai Immortal Domain are the most elite in this world. For whatever reason, you have no right to kill them!"

Lu Chuan’s brows immediately knitted together as he looked at Seven Kills and countered, "So, if I encounter someone from your Penglai Immortal Domain, am I just supposed to wait to be killed? Is this a rule set by your Penglai Immortal Domain?"

Seeing Lu Chuan speak with such an attitude, Seven Kills’s aura grew even more intimidating as if ready to strike at any moment.

"You little brat, who gave you the courage to speak to me like this? It seems you want to die by my hand right now!"

Voracious Wolf, seeing the situation escalate, quickly intervened and gestured Seven Kills to calm down, then turned to Lu Chuan and said, "Your point about the law of the jungle is not wrong, but now is the End of Sects and Magic Era, when the loss of every cultivator is a great one. Our Penglai Immortal Domain cannot easily condone the killing of our members by outsiders."

"Moreover, since all three of them harbored intentions to kill you, there must be something extraordinary about you. It could be that you possess valuable treasures, or you have unusual talents hiding some secret beneficial to cultivators. Regardless of the reason, you must return with us to atone for your sins."

"If you can offer enough value to our Penglai Immortal Domain, we may spare your life. Otherwise, we’ll have no choice but to exact the ultimate penalty, claim your life, and comfort the spirits of those three in heaven," Voracious Wolf added.

After hearing Voracious Wolf’s words, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter, "Your Penglai Immortal Domain truly has no shame. With the likes of you, how do you even bear the name ’Immortal Domain’?"

"And let me be clear: I have done nothing wrong, I don’t believe myself to be guilty, and I definitely won’t go back with you!"

Voracious Wolf narrowed his eyes, "Do you really think you can withstand the combined strength of the three of us?"

The corners of Lu Chuan’s mouth curled as he replied, "Indeed, I cannot defeat the three of you, but just because I can’t beat you, doesn’t mean I can’t run, does it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he dashed over to Zhong Ling’er, scooped her up, and soared into the sky, fleeing into the distance.

Upon seeing this, Seven Kills and Army Destroyer could not help but snort coldly, murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

"We should never have spoken to this kid so reasonably. We should have just struck him down immediately!"

"I must tear this brat to shreds!"

Voracious Wolf paid no attention to them and merely gave a cold command, "Chase!"

He then took to the sky, rapidly pursuing Lu Chuan in the direction he had fled.

Army Destroyer and Seven Kills did not hesitate and followed suit.

Carrying Zhong Ling’er, Lu Chuan flew swiftly, occasionally glancing behind him. Although he had been defiant in his speech, deep down, he was somewhat panicked.

After all, the three of them were Grade 7 Nascent Soul skillful experts, any one of whom could easily defeat him, let alone working together. If it came down to a fight, he stood no chance at all; therefore, he could only choose to flee with Zhong Ling’er.

Yet, with the three of them in hot pursuit, the chances of successful escape seemed as challenging as scaling the heavens.

Zhong Ling’er was still overtaken by shock at this point.

She had no idea that Lu Chuan could fly; seeing those three inexplicably appear and hover in mid-air was surprising enough, but what shocked her even more was that Lu Chuan could also fly!

It took her quite a while to recover her senses, and then she asked with some worry, "Will we... be okay? Those three guys looked very formidable."

Lu Chuan smiled and said, "I don’t know either. Do you think we can escape this calamity?"

Zhong Ling’er’s eyes suddenly filled with determination, "We can! I believe in you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan sighed.

You believe in me, but even I do not believe I can defeat the joint efforts of three Grade 7 Nascent Soul experts!

Nevertheless, he said to Zhong Ling’er, "With your words, I promise to keep you safe and sound!"

The two fled deep into the mountains for quite a distance, with Voracious Wolf and his two companions in hot pursuit.

"Why is this damned kid, a mere Grade 4 Nascent Soul, flying so fast? We three actually can’t catch up to him!" Seven Kills cursed.

Voracious Wolf, with a calm face, said, "He can’t escape. It’s hard for us to catch up with him, but it’s also difficult for him to shake us off."

Lu Chuan, glancing back at the three constantly on his tail, also frowned tightly. The reason he was not caught was due to his life-bound Nascent Soul, which was far superior to that of ordinary cultivators, but that was only enough to close part of the gap between him and Grade 7 Nascent Soul experts.

If the three from Penglai Immortal Domain persisted in their relentless pursuit, he would eventually be caught.

Facing the fact that fleeing this way was not a solution, Lu Chuan released his Divine Sense to scout the terrain ahead, then quickly dived into the dense forest. After weaving through it for a while, he came to a boulder and set Zhong Ling’er down.

He looked at her seriously and said, "You wait here for me. I’m going to deal with those three guys."

Zhong Ling’er watched Lu Chuan with a worried expression and asked, "Are you really confident that you can defeat all three of them?"

Lu Chuan patted her head with a smile and said, "Trust me."

"Remember, no matter what happens outside, do not come out. They are only after me, and even if they are shameless, they shouldn’t harm an innocent girl like you."

Zhong Ling’er could only nod her head and chose to trust Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan left from behind the boulder and headed towards the three from Penglai Immortal Domain.

If relying solely on his own strength, Lu Chuan stood no chance of defeating the three powerhouses from Penglai Immortal Domain at the moment, but if he played all his cards, there might be a chance to gamble.

Although the chance of success was low, to avoid being taken back to Penglai Immortal Domain by these three people, he had to take the risk and give it a try.

Voracious Wolf and the others did not expect Lu Chuan to give up running and instead charge towards them. They were immediately put on alert.

"Kid, why aren’t you running now? Or are you planning to pull some trick on us? Let me tell you, all your little tricks are worthless in front of us three!" Seven Kills yelled at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan stopped in front of the three, clasped his hands together, and said, "Sirs, I won’t run anymore. I surrender, and I agree to go back to Penglai Immortal Domain with you."

Upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Voracious Wolf immediately frowned and asked doubtfully, "Weren’t you quite defiant earlier? Why have you suddenly decided to surrender now? You wouldn’t be playing some trick on us, would you?"

Lu Chuan quickly explained, "I just realized there’s no way for me to shake you off. If I keep running, I’ll still end up being captured and brought back by you, so I gave up the idea of further running."

"As long as you spare the girl with me, I’ll agree to go back with you. That’s my only request."

Listening to Lu Chuan’s condition, all three from Voracious Wolf felt it didn’t sound inauthentic; after all, from any perspective, Lu Chuan truly had no chance of escaping.

Army Destroyer snorted coldly and said, "At least you’re sensible, kid. We in the Penglai Immortal Domain are all gentlemen and never act against innocent people. As long as you go back with us, we can guarantee the girl’s safety!"

Lu Chuan nodded, "That’s good."

Voracious Wolf stared at Lu Chuan and said, "We’re not sure if you are deceiving us, so before we take you back, we must seal your Dantian. Just stand there and don’t resist. I will release a power to seal your Dantian."

"Okay," Lu Chuan agreed, but instead of standing still, he took advantage of the moment when Voracious Wolf and his companions let down their guard, and threw an object with all his might towards them.

A streak of light shot across and instantly arrived in front of Voracious Wolf and his two companions.

The three reacted quickly and realized what Lu Chuan had thrown at them was an ordinary-looking Jade Pendant.

It was precisely the one left by Lu Chuan’s mother!

Without any hesitation, as the Jade Pendant reached the three people, Lu Chuan swiftly formed hand seals, triggering the Formation contained within it.
