Chapter 2213 - 2186: The Storm Approaches
Upon hearing Tang Qingyun’s words, Tang Fengyun immediately spoke, his tone filled with a chilling murderous intent: "Qingyun, rest assured. This time, Lu Tianxing will surely die without a trace. Just wait for my good news."
After finishing his sentence, Tang Fengyun didn’t give Tang Qingyun a chance to respond and chose to hang up the phone directly.
Tang Qingyun, upon hearing the busy signal from the phone, didn’t find it strange. Instead of putting the phone down, he promptly dialed Yang Anlong’s number.
Instantly, the call was connected, and even before Tang Qingyun could speak, Yang Anlong’s voice came through the phone to Tang Qingyun’s ear: "Young Master Tang, what brings you to call me so early in the morning?"
Hearing Yang Anlong’s voice, Tang Qingyun didn’t bother with idle chatter and directly said: "Yang Family Master, as the saying goes, ’One doesn’t visit a temple without reason.’ You should clearly know why I’m calling. I want to invite you for a cup of tea and discuss strategies for dealing with the Third Young Master of the Lu Family. Do you have time, and will you grace me with your presence?"
"Haha, Young Master Tang, you’re joking. How could I dare refuse?"
Yang Anlong’s voice, filled with a faint chuckle, came through the phone: "Young Master Tang, just name a place, and I will be there shortly."
"Let’s meet at the usual place. I await your esteemed presence, Yang Family Master."
After hanging up on Yang Anlong, Tang Qingyun slowly stood up from the sofa, took a deep breath, and called out, "Tang Da."
"Young Master Tang, what are your orders?"
With Tang Qingyun’s voice, a figure emerged from outside.
"Tang Da, accompany me on a trip to meet Yang Anlong."
"Yes, Young Master Tang."
Tang Qingyun glanced at Tang Da but said nothing, striding quickly toward the outside.
The Yang Family wants to reap the benefits as an opportunist, but it will depend on whether Tang Qingyun agrees or not. This time, he intends to drag the Yang Family into the mess; they will have no choice but to get involved.

Meanwhile, far away in Jiangnan, Lu Haoyue and Old Master Lu were already aware of the events transpiring in Xiangjiang. While Lu Haoyue was extremely surprised, Old Master Lu’s expression showed little change. To him, as long as his grandson was safe, nothing else mattered. As for those greedy for his grandson’s cultivation technique, there was no need to be polite. Just kill them outright. He wouldn’t mind going against the entire Huaxia Martial Artists Circle; it wasn’t something he hadn’t done before.
Currently, Old Master Lu and Lu Haoyue were sitting in a pavilion, with two steaming cups of tea on the stone table. They chatted as they drank tea, enjoying the late autumn scenery.
"Grandfather, what should we do next? Now that cousin’s cultivation technique has been leaked, this god-defying technique has caught the attention of all of China. I’m worried some might succumb to greed and target him."
Lu Haoyue looked at Old Master Lu and said gravely, "Although cousin is very strong and can challenge across levels, and his cultivation technique allows him to break into new limits during life-or-death crises, there’s a saying that many ants can kill an elephant. Besides, breaking limits amidst life-or-death danger is a bottomless abyss if slightly careless."
Lu Haoyue wore a somber expression. Despite speaking lightly of breaking limits during life-or-death crises, the act was akin to walking a tightrope on a cliffside, surrounded by fierce gales shaking the wire. A single misstep could lead to a fatal fall, ending in pulverized bones.
After hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Old Master Lu slowly picked up the cup of tea before him, took a gentle sip, and said calmly, "Haoyue, you should know your cousin better. When he acted in Xiangjiang, he must have already anticipated this outcome. Given that he acted so recklessly, it shows he was prepared to face this. Moreover, so what if all of China’s families have their eyes on Tianxing? Have you seen an elephant feeling intimidated by ants watching it?"
"As for a strong person, their duty is to forge ahead without fear. As for those ants blocking the way, just crush them all. If these families don’t know their limits, let them vanish into thin air. Two decades ago, the rivers of blood were no concern to me, and I won’t mind letting history repeat two decades later."
At the end of his speech, an acute knife aura and a bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed across Old Master Lu’s being.
Though the bloodthirsty intent vanished quickly, the aura it contained made Lu Haoyue’s heart shudder involuntarily. He had no doubt his grandfather meant what he said. If those families dared to act against Lu Tianxing, his grandfather wouldn’t hesitate to flood them with blood, leaving none alive, using their blood as a warning of the cost of angering a strong person.
"Grandfather, what should we do next?" Lu Haoyue raised his head and asked Old Master Lu.
Old Master Lu didn’t provide an answer but instead asked Lu Haoyue a question: "Do you have any plans?"
"Grandfather, since cousin is confident and doesn’t need our help, we shouldn’t intervene."
Lu Haoyue pondered briefly before he spoke: "However, while we won’t intervene, we can’t just stand by idly. I guess what cousin needs most now is information. My idea is to scatter the Lu Family’s intelligence resources to monitor surrounding activities constantly, ensuring any news reaches us promptly for preparation. This way, we can provide timely intelligence support to cousin."
Old Master Lu remained silent until Lu Haoyue finished speaking before slowly saying, "Since you already know what to do, why ask me?"
Hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Lu Haoyue’s expression changed abruptly, and he quickly explained, "Grandfather, I..."
He was interrupted by Old Master Lu, who said, "Haoyue, you don’t need to explain, and I’m not angry. I just want to remind you that you are the family head now. Decisions are yours to make. I can provide guidance, but not definitive answers. Do you understand?"
