Chapter 2348 - 2321: Approaching

"Grandpa, that’s not what I meant."

Upon hearing Jiang Liufeng’s words, Rose hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, it’s not the Yang Family and Tang Family that I’m worried about, I’m concerned about those foreign forces."

"You’re worried they might try to exploit the chaos this time?" Jiang Liufeng seemed to understand Rose’s thoughts, squinting his eyes as he spoke.

"Exactly, Grandpa, that’s what I’m worried about."

Rose nodded and said, "During the trip to Eagle Country last time, Tianxing offended quite a few forces. On this trip to Beijing, they are certain to appear. Amidst the ensuing chaos, they could exploit the situation, putting Tianxing in real danger."

There was an undeniable worry in Rose’s eyes. Tomorrow was the fifth day of the lunar month; she was genuinely anxious that Lu Tianxing might encounter trouble.

"Rose, don’t worry. Trust me; it will be fine."

Jiang Liufeng looked at Rose and said sternly, "No matter if it’s the foreign forces or Heavenly God who act this time, there’s no need to worry. If they dare to make a move, they will surely face no return and die without a grave."

As he finished speaking, a hint of bloodthirsty murderous intent appeared on Jiang Liufeng’s face.

"Grandpa, I understand."

Seeing Jiang Liufeng’s expression, Rose felt slightly calmer and slowly said, "Grandpa, what do I need to do?"

"Rose, on the fifth day of the month tomorrow, have your people keep a close watch on Modu’s every move, preventing any malicious individuals from appearing in Modu. If any malicious individuals approach the Bai Family Ancestral House, kill them without mercy."

Jiang Liufeng’s tone was filled with chilling murderous intent.

Tomorrow is the fifth day, the most chaotic moment in China, it’s hard to guarantee that malicious people won’t enter Modu intending harm against Bai Qiao Mountain. After all, compared to dealing with Lu Tianxing or causing trouble in Jiangnan, capturing Bai Qiao Mountain is relatively easier. Even though Modu is Lu Tianxing’s stronghold, it’s safer than trying to kill Lu Tianxing or entering Jiangnan.

"I understand, Grandpa."

Rose nodded, stood up from the sofa, and said, "Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go make arrangements."

"Okay."

Jiang Liufeng nodded.

Rose said nothing further and turned to walk outside.

Watching Rose’s departing figure, Jiang Liufeng’s face, which had shown a slight smile earlier, suddenly became grave as he muttered in a low voice, "Tianxing, Grandpa believes in you, believes that this time you can emerge from the hidden depths like a dragon, illuminating all of China. This time is your chance to soar through the skies, to make the world tremble at your feet once more. If you win this time, you’ll gain the ability to formulate your own set of rules."

Jiang Liufeng clearly knew in his heart that Lu Tianxing’s trip to Beijing this time was a life-and-death situation filled with many dangers; his earlier words were merely to comfort Rose. If Lu Tianxing makes even one wrong move, he might face a bottomless abyss.

The reason why he said those words to Rose was simply to keep her from worrying.

Moreover, a more important reason is that if Lu Tianxing wants to truly grow, this trip to Beijing is absolutely necessary. Regardless of anything, Lu Tianxing must remain in Beijing and face off with Tang Qingyun head-on.

It’s not that Jiang Liufeng is cruel, but there’s no other option.

Currently, Lu Tianxing is surrounded by imminent dangers, Heavenly God, Holy Mountain, Church—these forces; regardless of where they’re placed, they are top-tier mighty forces. If Lu Tianxing can’t muster enough strength to handle them, his only path is one leading to death.

Although the few old immortals are holding things down, not many major forces dare to act openly, but they can protect Lu Tianxing for a while, not for a lifetime.

If Lu Tianxing wants to go further, wants to protect those he wishes to protect, he must make himself stronger.

And the path to strength has never had shortcuts; to become stronger than others, one has to pay unimaginably huge prices.

However, compared to others, the path Lu Tianxing has chosen is even harder because he has to step over countless corpses to reach the pinnacle.

Of course, although this method is extremely cruel and bloody, every strong person in history ascended the pinnacle over a field of corpses, and which strong person didn’t have their hands drenched in blood?

The roads leading to the pyramid have always been paved with blood and corpses.

Jiang Liufeng’s intentions, Lu Tianxing understands naturally, he must stand atop the pyramid, where perhaps it’s lonely and isolated, but once you stand at that position, looking down, everyone looks up at you with faces of fear and reverence.

None could harm you, but you certainly could harm them!

This is the best way to protect oneself and the loved ones around you from harm.

Therefore, this trip to Beijing is absolutely necessary for Lu Tianxing; the circumstances won’t wait. If Lu Tianxing doesn’t become stronger now, when the enemy troops surround him, it will be his end. And not to mention that Lu Tianxing has one incontestable reason to go to Beijing this time, a reason that no one can dissuade him from.

Meanwhile, at the Jiangnan Lu Family Mansion.

Lu Haoyue and Old Master Lu were sitting in the study. In front of them was a chess set as the grandfather and grandson played chess.

"Haoyue, after tonight’s twelve o’clock, tomorrow is the fifth day of the month, right?"

"That’s right, Grandpa, tomorrow is the fifth day; it’s the day Tang Qingyun marries Mu Qingxue."

Upon hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Lu Haoyue put down the chess piece in his hand and slowly said, "Grandpa, tomorrow is the fifth day; Beijing is sure to be fraught with peril. Cousin is currently in Beijing, practically besieged on all sides. What should we do next?"

Old Master Lu, hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, gently shook his head and said, "Haoyue, do not concern yourself with matters in Beijing. Since Tianxing hasn’t asked us for anything, it means he has enough confidence to deal with it. Let’s not interfere in Beijing’s affairs, as doing too much might endanger Tianxing, which would only be counterproductive."

Having said that, Old Master Lu paused and continued, "However, while we can put off Beijing affairs for now, we can’t ignore Modu’s matters. Tomorrow is the fifth day, China’s most chaotic day. It’s unpredictable that someone might exploit the chaos to deal with Bai Qiao Mountain and the others. We must be thoroughly prepared no matter what, to provide Tianxing with a secure rear.
