As for sending people to Xiangjiang to rescue Tang Wenhu, this idea just flashed through his mind and Tang Wenhu utterly abandoned it. The fact that the opponents left Tang Wenhu unharmed likely implies they’re testing whether the Tang Family would send someone to Xiangjiang for the rescue. If he sends someone now, it’s like sending sheep into the tiger’s maw—no return, truly falling for their trick.

”Phew!”

After a long time, Tang Fengxing slowly exhaled a breath of foul air as he rose from the sofa, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed at the view outside: ”Third Young Master of Lu Family, oh Third Young Master of Lu Family, I ultimately underestimated you once again. Didn’t expect to fall into your trap again. This time I’ve lost again, but don’t celebrate too soon; this is just the beginning. On the fifth of next month, I’ll want to see if you can break this situation.”

When his words fell, Tang Fengxing suddenly opened his eyes, a gaze resembling that of wolves and tigers flashed within them. He no longer cared about the losses; as long as he could kill Lu Tianxing, that would suffice.

As for the failure in Xiangjiang this time, whether Tang Wenhu would reveal Tang Family’s involvement, Tang Fengxing never considered nor cared about it.

After all, with too many debts, one doesn’t worry; with too many lice, there’s no itch. The Tang Family has already reached an irreconcilable point with the Lu Family. Even if Lu Tianxing knows that Tang Family did it, what does it matter? Could Lu Tianxing or the Lu Family, along with Jiang Liufeng, dare to stir up trouble in Shu?

...

There are no walls that do not let the wind through, and paper cannot forever cover fire.

The events of Xiangjiang spread across the land almost instantly. Even though the Huang Family was the first to suppress the news, it was still too late.

All forces received the news immediately: the Huang Family slaughtered three Mythical Peak Martial Artists, and the one who acted was called Ge Cangtian—a man who should’ve died ten years ago.

This news swept across the Huaxia Land like a storm, as if a stone had been thrown into a previously calm mirror-like lake, stirring up waves.

Knowing that Ge Cangtian killed the Yang Family members back then, hunted by the Yang Family to the ends of the earth, ultimately jumping into the sea to commit suicide—and now he hasn’t died, returning powerfully, breaking into the Late Stage of Mythical. At this moment, Ge Cangtian seems to be linked to Yama Palace, and Ge Cangtian is likely a member of it. Yama Palace just happens to be hostile to the Yang Family. With these two teamed up, do they intend to publicly declare war, aiming to utterly destroy the Yang Family?

For a moment, Ge Cangtian, Lu Tianxing, and Yama Palace became the focus of discussions among various forces. Some forces even implicitly regard Lu Tianxing as a benchmark for educating their family’s younger generations, hoping their juniors can take Lu Tianxing as a model.

After all, Lu Tianxing stirs up boundless storms at such a young age, achieving feats in Huaxia that are exceedingly rare. Besides Lu Tianzhan and Lu Tiankuang twenty years ago, few others have done so.

Furthermore, after causing boundless storms back then, Lu Tianzhan failed, died, and Lu Tiankuang now can only shrink back in Jiangnan, no longer daring to act recklessly, losing his former edge.

Lu Tianxing, however, is at the peak of his prime—young in age, yet terrifyingly powerful in both influence and strength. Now with Ge Cangtian joining Yama Palace, the destruction of the Yang Family might even be achievable without needing the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng’s power. This elicits respect and envy from countless people. If Lu Tianxing truly wipes out the Yang Family, no one in the future can block Lu Tianxing’s rise—not even the Tang Family.

Moreover, the Yang Family is a top Beijing family, surviving the winds and rains for centuries. No force could extinguish them until now, when Lu Tianxing destroys them. What does this illustrate? That Lu Tianxing can create a top power single-handedly.

Soon everyone shudders at Lu Tianxing’s rise, feeling fearful, yet helpless—they dare not act against him. If not Lu Tianxing, just Ge Cangtian alone could destroy them completely. To provoke Lu Tianxing or Yama Palace now is tantamount to seeking death.

Though these forces didn’t opt to confront Lu Tianxing, they each chose to watch from the sidelines. The Tang Family would never allow nor let Lu Tianxing rise. Once Lu Tianxing rises, it spells doom for the Tang Family. The Tang Family will certainly try every means to kill Lu Tianxing, while they merely enjoy the spectacle. If the Tang Family kills Lu Tianxing, they naturally would be relieved.

Anyhow, if the Tang Family kills Lu Tianxing, naturally, the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng will deal with the Tang Family. It’s none of their concern.

Regarding whether Lu Tianxing ultimately wins, they could always join Yama Palace. After all, joining Yama Palace provides ample benefits—they wouldn’t lose out. If Lu Tianxing fancies someone from their family, they’d soar to great heights; they wouldn’t suffer at all.

Undoubtedly, these great families are as shrewd as foxes, calculating all so pristinely. But if such thoughts fall into Lu Tianxing’s ears, who knows how he would feel?

However, Lu Tianxing currently has no desire to care about outside rumors. As the next day arrives, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing wake up early, heading to the living room.

”Honey, pack your things later; we’ll head straight to Xiangjiang,” Lu Tianxing gently says to Bai Zhiqing.

Bai Zhiqing’s face doesn’t carry the same bewildered expression as yesterday, but her complexion remains unwell, showing signs of fatigue. Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing inhales deeply, apologetically looks at Lu Tianxing, and says: ”Tianxing, maybe you should go to Xiangjiang alone this time. I’ll stay in Beijing, anyway, you won’t be in Xiangjiang for many days before returning. I’ll just wait for you in Beijing; I won’t go to Xiangjiang.”

”What’s wrong?” Lu Tianxing asks, surprised, looking at Bai Zhiqing.

Last night he told Bai Zhiqing about their trip to Xiangjiang, and she agreed. How did she suddenly change her mind after a night’s sleep?
