"You’re right, Lu Tiankuang might indeed risk his life. But, Zhihua, have you ever considered why the Tang Family has been able to dominate Shu for so long without anyone daring to challenge them? Do you really think it’s just because they have the advantage of timing, geography, and human harmony?"

The Heavenly God said calmly, "The Tang Family possesses a great weapon. If they use this weapon, anyone who hasn’t reached the Earthly Immortal realm is doomed to die. Even Earthly Immortals who encounter it will suffer minor or severe injuries. If the Tang Family uses this thing, even if Lu Tiankuang and Jiang Liufeng join forces to enter Shu, they would not escape death. That’s why the Tang Family is fearless and not afraid of Lu Tiankuang and Jiang Liufeng’s desperate attempts."

"As for the Yang Family, although I’m not sure what trump card they hold, it’s evident that they possess something that many fear, or else they couldn’t have stood firm in Beijing for centuries. Without such a trump card, the Yang Family wouldn’t dare act as they do, and they would be the first to face Lu Tiankuang and Jiang Liufeng’s revenge."

Upon hearing the Heavenly God’s words, Zhihua’s eyes flashed with understanding, and she spoke, "Young Master, so you’re sending the Black Shadow and the Snake Lady to Beijing not to prevent the Yang and Tang Families from killing Lu Tianxing? In that case, why did you previously send the Snake Lady and Black Shadow to Xiangjiang to assassinate Lu Tianxing?"

After hearing Zhihua’s words, the Heavenly God replied indifferently, "It’s no big deal. I merely wanted to confirm if Lu Tianxing was indeed practicing the cultivation technique once used by Nie Renwang. I’ve gotten my answer now, so Lu Tianxing must not die—at least until he breaks through to the Late Stage of Mythical. Before that, anyone who wants to kill Lu Tianxing will be sent on their way by me. Understand?"

After hearing this, Zhihua nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master, I understand. I’ll relay your words to the Black Shadow and Snake Lady shortly."

"Zhihua, is there any progress in finding the Qi Refiner’s Grave?" the Heavenly God suddenly asked.

"Not yet."

After hearing the Heavenly God’s words, Zhihua shook her head gently and said, "Although we now possess two Four Symbols Rings and can use special secret techniques to find the general location of the Qi Refiner’s Grave, we still can’t pinpoint its exact place. We’ve been unable to locate the precise position."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly God’s brow furrowed slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his face.

Noticing the brief expression of dissatisfaction on the Heavenly God’s face, Zhihua immediately spoke, "However, you can rest assured, Young Master. We are already doing our best to find the Qi Refiner’s Grave, and I believe there will be news soon..."

"I don’t need to hear these empty words."

The Heavenly God interrupted Zhihua before she could finish and said coldly, "I don’t need to know the process; I just need the result. No matter what, find the Qi Refiner’s Grave for me—even if we can’t enter it, we must find it, understand?"

As the words fell, a cold, fierce light flashed in the Heavenly God’s otherwise calm eyes.

"Yes, Young Master, I’ll make arrangements now."

With these words, Zhihua bowed elegantly to the Heavenly God and, showing no hesitation, turned and walked outside.

The Heavenly God remained motionless, indifferent to Zhihua’s departure as if he hadn’t noticed at all.

After a long pause, the Heavenly God slowly turned his gaze, murmuring quietly, "Lu Tianxing, Third Young Master of the Lu Family, our game has just begun. Don’t disappoint me; you’d better not die. Only I can claim your life."

...

Meanwhile, in Beijing, shortly after Lu Tianxing left the city, Tang Qingyun began instructing the Qingtian Alliance to deal with the Yama Palace.

This time, the action was thunderous, carrying a force capable of destruction, allowing Lin Yafei no chance to breathe. The danger was ever-present; if Lin Yafei showed the slightest flaw, she might face devastating consequences.

Lin Yafei immediately received the news but felt helpless. The current advance by the Qingtian Alliance was overwhelming, and if unprepared, confronting them rashly would lead to Yama Palace’s defeat.

In the past, Lin Yafei might not fear losing, but now she has many considerations. This battle can’t be lost; she can’t afford to.

At this moment, in a villa in Beijing, Lin Yafei sat on the sofa with a face that could not hide her coldness. Lu Tianxing had just left Beijing, and the Qingtian Alliance wasted no time taking action. Lin Yafei would never believe there’s no ulterior motive behind it.

Moreover, Lin Yafei vaguely felt that Tang Qingyun’s sudden action against Yama Palace wasn’t just because Lu Tianxing left Beijing; there must be another, more important reason. But she wasn’t yet clear about Tang Qingyun’s intentions.

Although unsure of Tang Qingyun’s motives, Lin Yafei understood that he’s playing a big game of chess and if he succeeds, the consequences could be unimaginable.

"Lin Demon, what’s wrong? Why do you look so upset? Did something happen?"

Just then, Bai Zhiqing descended from upstairs, seeing Lin Yafei’s icy demeanor and the chill radiating from her, a look of confusion flashed across Bai Zhiqing’s face. She had seen Lin Yafei fine earlier, so what had changed?

"Nothing much. I just received a call; Qingtian Alliance has suddenly moved against Yama Palace with overwhelming momentum, wiping out several of its smaller bases," Lin Yafei slowly lifted her head and said softly as she looked at Bai Zhiqing coming downstairs.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing’s face changed slightly, looking at Lin Yafei, she said, "Lin Demon, what should we do next? Should I call Tianxing and have him return to Beijing as soon as possible?"

"No need."

Lin Yafei shook her head slightly, her face showing clear killing intent, sneering as she said, "Tang Qingyun thinks just because Tianxing isn’t in Beijing, he can treat me, Lin Yafei, with disdain? He’s underestimating me. Dare to act against me, I’ll make sure he regrets it, let him know what happens when he goes against me."

As her words fell, the killing intent on Lin Yafei’s face grew even stronger, turning her formerly charming features cold and fierce.
