Chapter 2313 - 2286: No Need

After Xiao Liu left, Rose turned around again, her gaze drifting quietly out the window with a trace of sadness appearing on her exquisite, pretty face.

After a long time, Rose murmured quietly to herself, "Mom, did you see? The person who killed you is dead, Tang Fengyun is dead, I’ve avenged you. But Mom, I’m telling you, this is only the beginning. I’ll take down the entire Tang Family to be buried with you."

As her voice fell, a strong bloodthirsty aura emitted from Rose, making her look like a female Shura.

...

Completely unaware Rose had found Tang Fengyun’s corpse and planned to carve his bones into the most exquisite piece of art for the Tang Family, Lu Tianxing was already taking the car back to Lin Yafei’s villa.

After getting off the car and asking Jiao Long to leave, Lu Tianxing directly walked into the villa.

Just as he stepped into the villa, Lu Tianxing was taken aback. It wasn’t because he saw something inappropriate but rather because the whole living room was cold and quiet, with only one person sitting on the sofa.

This person was none other than Third Young Master Han, Han Zifeng.

"Third Young Master Han, what are you doing here?"

Lu Tianxing looked at Han Zifeng with a strange expression; didn’t this guy get forced into seclusion to train by Old Sir Han? How did he end up here? Did he sneak out? Isn’t he afraid his grandfather would find out and break his legs?

"Hehe, Boss, I came out because I heard about your glorious feats last night."

Upon seeing Lu Tianxing return, Han Zifeng immediately stood up from the sofa.

"I see."

After hearing Han Zifeng’s words, Lu Tianxing nodded slightly. What happened last night could be said to have shocked all of Beijing; Han Zifeng knowing this was quite expected.

"By the way, Third Young Master Han, where did your sister-in-law and Lin Demon go?" Lu Tianxing asked Han Zifeng again.

"Boss, sister-in-law and Sister Yafei said they were bored at home and went out together, mentioning they went to check on the development of the Yama Palace, telling me to wait here for boss’ return."

Han Zifeng looked at Lu Tianxing and said, "By the way, boss, you weren’t injured last night, were you!"

"I’m fine." Lu Tianxing waved his hand and said.

Although he sustained a minor injury while fighting Tang Da last night, it might require a day or two of recuperation for ordinary martial artists, but for Lu Tianxing, who possesses the Creation Source Technique, this minor injury is insignificant; a slight operation of Creation True Qi could heal it.

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Han Zifeng didn’t dwell on the topic and changed the subject, saying, "Boss, I heard you killed Tang Qingyun last night?"

"Nope."

Lu Tianxing shook his head and straightforwardly said, "It was merely a stand-in who died, not the real Tang Qingyun."

"Not the real Tang Qingyun, huh."

Han Zifeng sighed regretfully and then seemed to remember something, saying to Lu Tianxing; "Boss, even though it wasn’t the real Tang Qingyun who died, we can totally capitalize on the momentum now; Beijing is abuzz with the talk that the Young Master Tang was killed by you, while those who truly know that it was merely a stand-in who died are few indeed. Given this situation, boss, we can totally strike while the iron is hot and utterly crush the Qingtian Alliance, consigning them to history."

The news of Tang Qingyun’s death spread through China last night, perhaps some insiders knew the deceased wasn’t Tang Qingyun but a stand-in, yet how many truly knew this? Moreover, even if Tang Qingyun reappears, morale in the Qingtian Alliance would plummet; if we act against them now, it would be akin to slicing through butter; easily smashing them, rendering the Qingtian Alliance a mere footnote in Beijing’s history.

Upon hearing Han Zifeng’s words, Lu Tianxing revealed a contemplative expression.

Han Zifeng’s suggestion was indeed commendable; after he killed Chen Changwu, the Qingtian Alliance was already in turmoil with rumors outside claiming Tang Qingyun was dead. At this moment, the Qingtian Alliance was akin to a paper tiger, as long as the Yama Palace’s army pressed forward, the entire Qingtian Alliance would collapse without resistance.

However, should we truly act this way, the Yama Palace might become a target for many powers, a thorn in their side; they might not act now, but the moment Yama Palace slips up, they would emerge to put them to death. More importantly, toppling the Qingtian Alliance now isn’t necessary; only killing Tang Qingyun would entirely dismantle them.

After a moment of silence, Lu Tianxing said to Han Zifeng, "Third Young Master Han, eradicating the Qingtian Alliance isn’t urgent."

"Boss, this is the best chance?"

Han Zifeng grew anxious upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, "Boss, you’ve taught me before, unless you eliminate the roots, they will revive at spring; if we don’t wipe out the Qingtian Alliance now, what if they make a comeback?"

"If we don’t act now, we’re leaving breathing space for Tang Qingyun; if he unites these forces again, it’ll be quite disadvantageous for us."

"Third Young Master Han, I know what you mean, but just like you said, if we don’t eliminate the Qingtian Alliance, we’re affording Tang Qingyun a breathing space; however, even if we topple the Qingtian Alliance, how will that help!"

Lu Tianxing looked at Han Zifeng and said, "A snake must be struck at its vital point to beat it, Qingtian Alliance’s vital point is Tang Qingyun; if we can’t kill Tang Qingyun, even if we crush the Qingtian Alliance, it’s pointless. As long as Tang Qingyun lives, the Qingtian Alliance won’t truly be eradicated."

"Moreover, this time killing Tang Qingyun serves as a prime example to others; the news of Tang Qingyun’s death has spread across Beijing, those powers are already uneasy, terrified that we might assault them; so even if we don’t act now, many factions might beg for our mercy. Why should we expend extra efforts to destroy them?"

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Han Zifeng fell silent, without speaking. Lu Tianxing’s reasoning was spot on, everyone in China is aware of Lu Tianxing’s way of doing things; the battle last night shook Beijing, those factions joining the Qingtian Alliance would be already restless with fear.

The path before them is clear: either stand firm against Lu Tianxing or beg for forgiveness and between these options, it’s evident those forces would choose to beg for forgiveness. As long as Tang Qingyun doesn’t emerge, these forces would inevitably choose the latter, seeking Lu Tianxing’s forgiveness; in this way, it’s far better than crushing the Qingtian Alliance.
