Chapter 2189 - 2162: The Heavenly God’s Analysis
"Lu Tianxing won’t die."
The Heavenly God said slowly, "Do you really think Lu Tianxing is a fool? He managed to thrive in the Western Underground World, yet not a single old-timer came to trouble him. Why?"
"Because they’re afraid of the Third Young Master of the Lu Family."
Zhihua hesitated for a moment before giving an answer.
The Heavenly God chuckled, "Afraid? At that time, Lu Tianxing was only at the Heavenly Peak Realm, and although he could reverse-slay an early-stage Mythical opponent, it wasn’t enough to instill fear. Moreover, at the time, Lu Tianxing wasn’t yet part of the Lu Family. Losing him wouldn’t prompt anyone to speak out, and as for his brothers, they were ridiculously weak, easily obliterated. Who would care?"
After pausing, the Heavenly God continued, "Lu Tianxing’s success was due to his understanding of limits; he managed to grasp them well. As long as you don’t cross this line, no one will deal with you. The old generation has its dignity and won’t attack a junior without reason."
"What’s more, Lu Tianxing never fights battles he’s uncertain about. He always prepares thoroughly before taking action. This time, though he appeared in Beijing knowing Tang Qingyun was there and that the marriage with Mu Qingxue was merely a facade to target him, he still came to Beijing. With both the Tang Family and the Yang Family wanting him dead, Lu Tianxing unexpectedly appears in Beijing. Do you really think he’s unprepared?"
"Maybe he truly loves Mu Qingxue, knowingly facing danger willingly coming to Beijing."
"Ha ha, love Mu Qingxue?"
With a slight smile, the Heavenly God said, "Zhihua, you’re not wrong. Lu Tianxing loves Mu Qingxue. If he heard Mu Qingxue was marrying Tang Qingyun, he’d storm into Beijing in a rage, turning the city upside down. But did you forget Lu Tiankuang and Jiang Liufeng? These two have become quite cunning; Lu Tianxing is their grandson. Do you think they’d stand idly by while he’s sent off to die in Beijing?"
"If he was truly unprepared, they would have stopped him long before he got to Beijing. But now that Lu Tianxing is in Beijing, it indicates they’ve readied themselves to face the coming challenges."
Zhihua nodded at the Heavenly God’s words but still asked somewhat puzzled, "Young Master, since you know all this, wouldn’t the Yang Family and Tang Family know too? Why do they still choose to act against Lu Tianxing? Aren’t they afraid of falling into a trap?"
"They have no choice but to act."
The Heavenly God said slowly, "Lu Tianxing’s evolving power is evident to all. If he advances to the late stage of Mythical, everyone knows how terrifying his strength will be. Moreover, they already hold an unbreakable enmity with Lu Tianxing. If they don’t seek to eliminate him before he breaks through, uprooting them completely, they have no other option but to act first and kill Lu Tianxing."
"They only have two paths before them now: either allow Lu Tianxing to continue growing, leading to their total annihilation, or take a risky move to kill Lu Tianxing before he fully develops, thus preventing future disasters. There’s no third path."
"So, despite knowing Lu Tianxing has cards to play, with Lu Tiankuang and Jiang Liufeng arranging everything, they are forced to act. Missing this opportunity means waiting for another one like it is like reaching for the stars. They must act."
"Only by acting can they gamble everything, completely resolve the threat of Lu Tianxing, ensuring they won’t have to worry about him retaliating after he grows stronger."
The Heavenly God spoke confidently, eyes gleaming with strong self-assurance.
Listening, Zhihua’s face shone with a thoughtful light; the Heavenly God’s words were completely true. As long as the Tang Family and Yang Family don’t want Lu Tianxing to continue growing, they must act to eliminate him. Otherwise, Lu Tianxing won’t spare them, because the feud is eternal. If Lu Tianxing can destroy the Yang and Tang Families, why would he let them go?
Thoughtfully, Zhihua suddenly furrowed his brow and said, "Young Master, there’s something I still don’t understand. Since they want Lu Tianxing dead, fearing his growth might lead to their downfall, wouldn’t they consider the Lu Family’s potential retaliation after eliminating Lu Tianxing?"
"They know but have no choice."
The Heavenly God stated calmly, "Killing Lu Tianxing would only bring desperate attacks from Lu Tiankuang and Jiang Liufeng—perhaps just Jiang Liufeng, since Lu Tiankuang dares not risk it. Without a master guarding the Lu Family, it becomes a dish on the table for many families, ready to be consumed at any time."
"It’s by this weakness the Yang and Tang Families dare target Lu Tianxing. Lu Tiankuang won’t dare risk it, leaving only Jiang Liufeng to fight desperately, unable to withstand the combined forces of both families. If Jiang Liufeng risks it, the only path left is self-destruction, bringing no harm to the Yang and Tang Families."
"Young Master, what if Lu Tiankuang does go all out?"
Zhihua asked curiously, "With his son dead and a grandson possibly lost, Lu Tiankuang might just go berserk. Rumor has it his power is close to the Earthly Immortal realm. Such consequences are truly fearsome, even if victorious, the Yang and Tang Families would be left in ruin. Then, even after destroying the Lu Family, they would be close to extinction."
In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. In the past, the noble families in China feared the power of the Yang and Tang Families, refraining from rash actions. However, once the Yang and Tang Families are crippled by the Lu Family, those previously fearing them will transform into wolves, eliminating the Yang and Tang Families without leaving a single survivor, giving them no chance of ever rising again.
