A moment later.
Xuanyangzi led Lu Chuan to an independent pavilion courtyard.
At this moment, quite a few people were already inside the pavilion.
Besides the powerful figures he had met last time, there were also many unfamiliar faces.
Lu Chuan's arrival immediately drew everyone's attention, and all eyes turned toward him.
"Lu Chuan, over here..."
When Luohua Valley Master saw Lu Chuan, she greeted him with a smile.
Some others likewise smiled in greeting or nodded to him.
These people were relatively close to Lu Chuan. They belonged to the same factions as Xuanyangzi and Luohua Valley Master and bore Lu Chuan goodwill.
But at the same time,
when some people saw Lu Chuan, their expressions immediately hardened, their gazes hostile.
The foremost among them was naturally Nine Flowers Real Person.
The sect master of the Nine Flowers Sect was no inferior to Xuanyangzi or Luohua Valley Master, whether in personal strength or status.
From the very beginning, he had harbored hostility toward Lu Chuan.
He had even looked down on him from the very root of things.
However, as Lu Chuan grew stronger and stronger, more and more people began supporting him. Even the Xuanhuang Country Lord had personally stepped forward to protect Lu Chuan.
Thus, no matter how displeased Nine Flowers Real Person was inwardly, he would not make a move against Lu Chuan.
At least, not openly.
Yet he made no attempt whatsoever to conceal his loathing.
Lu Chuan also sensed the disgust coming from Nine Flowers Real Person and the others. His brows furrowed slightly, killing intent flickering in his eyes.
He naturally knew that, within the Xuanhuang Universe Country, some people had borne a grudge against him ever since the Worship God Cult incident and wanted nothing more than to put him to death.
