"What’s the point in asking?"
Lu Tianxing gently shook his head and said, "I originally intended to find out who the mastermind behind this was, but in the end, I gave up on the idea. Being able to dispatch so many experts, it’s likely the Tang Family, the Yang Family, or the forces of Heavenly God. Even if I knew it was them, what could I do? With my current strength, I don’t have the extra power to deal with them."
At this point, Lu Tianxing sighed again. Apart from Tang Wenhu touching his Achilles’ heel, there was another more important reason he didn’t want to listen to Tang Wenhu. Even if he knew who the mastermind was this time, it would be of no use. Even if this force had nothing to do with the Yang Family, Tang Family, or Heavenly God, he didn’t have the time or energy to fight them.
The most urgent task at hand is the affairs in Beijing. There’s less than a week left until the fifth of next month. During this period, he must remain vigilant, and the matters in Beijing cannot afford any mistakes. If there are any mistakes, not only will he die without a place to be buried, but Lin Yafei, Bai Zhiqing, and everyone related to him will also face the same fate.
Xue Bing listened to Lu Tianxing’s words. Just as she was about to say something, a melodious phone ringtone suddenly echoed in the car.
After hearing the ringtone, Xue Bing reached out to pick up the phone placed beside her. She was momentarily stunned after seeing the caller ID.
"What’s wrong, whose call is it?" Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but ask upon seeing Xue Bing’s expression.
"It’s Huang Feiyu’s call."
Xue Bing glanced at Lu Tianxing, then answered the phone, "Hello..."
Before Xue Bing could speak, Huang Feiyu’s urgent and anxious voice came through the phone, "Sister Xue, how are you? You and Mr. Lu didn’t encounter any danger, did you?"
Xue Bing was slightly taken aback upon hearing Huang Feiyu’s words, puzzled and asked, "What’s wrong, what happened?"
"Senior Ge was attacked. My grandfather is worried you and Mr. Lu might be in trouble and asked me to call and check on you. If necessary, my grandfather hopes you and Mr. Lu can come to the Huang Family to prevent any ill-intentioned individuals from targeting you."
"We’re fine, nothing happened to us, don’t worry about us."
After exchanging a few words with Huang Feiyu, Xue Bing hung up the phone without saying anything more.
"What happened?" Lu Tianxing asked after seeing Xue Bing hang up the phone.
"Huang Feiyu said Senior Ge was attacked and asked if we encountered any issues." Xue Bing said to Lu Tianxing without hiding anything.
"Ge Cangtian was attacked?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s eyebrows slightly knitted together. Ge Cangtian is a late-stage Mythical expert, incredibly powerful. Now someone is intercepting Ge Cangtian. Could it be that the person intercepting Ge Cangtian is in cahoots with the Black Shadow? Are they worried that Ge Cangtian might appear by my side, so they decided to intercept him to prevent him from coming over?
"Do you know who was fighting Ge Cangtian?" Lu Tianxing asked, looking at Xue Bing.
"I don’t know."
Xue Bing shook her head, "All I know is that the opponent is an old lady with a snake-headed cane in her hand. She’s skilled in controlling poisonous snakes and has very bizarre and terrifying attack methods. Senior Ge suffered several hidden losses at her hands. If it weren’t for Senior Ge’s strength being far superior to ordinary people, he might have suffered a loss at this old woman’s hands too."
"It’s her."
Just then, while sitting in the passenger seat and listening to Xue Bing, Lu Tianxing instinctively spoke up.
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a hint of confusion flashed across Xue Bing’s face, and she curiously asked, "Tianxing, do you know who this old lady is?"
"Yes! I saw her in my grandfather’s study."
Lu Tianxing nodded and said to Xue Bing, "If I’m not mistaken, this old lady should be the Snake Lady who was famous back in the day."
"Snake Lady?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Xue Bing’s face.
"Indeed, Snake Lady."
Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "The Snake Lady is said to have come from the Miao Border, and in each generation, there is only one successor. Once each successor appears in the world, regardless of age, they are all titled the Snake Lady externally. This title is only passed on once they grow old and take on disciples."
Speaking slowly, Lu Tianxing had a hint of solemnity in his tone. In Jiang Liufeng’s study, he had seen many secrets, including extreme danger words in the Snake Lady’s data, showing how terrifying her power was.
Moreover, ever since Snake Lady battled Ji Xingyun, Sima Lingyun’s mentor, fifteen years ago, she vanished without a trace. But fifteen years later, she reappeared and intercepted Ge Cangtian.
The force behind this Snake Lady must be formidable since they sent out two late-stage Mythical experts. This is not something an average force could do. Even a top family in Beijing like the Yang Family wouldn’t dare to be so generous. Should an unexpected death occur, it would be an enormous loss for any power.
This is why even though Tang Fengxing is troubled by the losses of these Xiangjiang experts, he hasn’t lost his temper. If a middle-stage Mythical dies, it’s no big deal. As long as there is no loss of top experts, these losses are manageable.
"Seems like quite a few people want me dead. No matter who you are, once I reach the late stage of Mythical, your death will be imminent."
A fierce gleam flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes. The appearance of Black Shadow and Snake Lady didn’t frighten him. Instead, it ignited an endless fighting spirit within him, without fear.
"Lu Tianxing, what should we do now? Since this Snake Lady intercepted Senior Ge, she’s certainly our enemy. What if they decide to target us?"
Xue Bing looked at Lu Tianxing with concern.
"Don’t worry, it’s alright."
Lu Tianxing gave Xue Bing a gentle smile and said, "Don’t worry. You’ve seen how terrifying Ge Cangtian’s strength is, and Huang Feiyu mentioned that the Snake Lady got injured, probably seriously. They won’t appear for a while, so there’s no need to worry. By the time they’re recovered, we’ll already be back in Beijing. Besides, I feel my strength has reached a critical point. Just give me an opportunity, and I can break through to the late stage of Mythical. By then, even if a late-stage Mythical comes against me, I can easily handle them."
