Chapter 2264 - 2237: Bai Qiao Mountain Is Taken Away

"Lu Chuan, do you think I can’t handle you now? I advise you to stand there obediently and not move. Otherwise, I won’t mind bringing back three corpses."

Tang Fengyun sneered coldly at Lu Chuan. This was his true intention. He never really thought this man could defeat Lu Chuan, he just hoped the man could stall Lu Chuan, even for just one second, which was enough. Clearly, the man understood his meaning, stalled Lu Chuan for one second, allowing Tang Fengyun to naturally capture Bai Qiao Mountain, Bai Weiwei, and He Cailan.

This was Tang Fengyun’s real plan. With his strength, he could perhaps kill Lu Chuan, but Lu Chuan, after all, belonged to the Lu Family. His power, although at the middle-stage Mythical level, could still entangle with the late stage of Mythical. Tang Fengyun didn’t want to waste extra time, so the best way was to capture Bai Qiao Mountain and force Lu Chuan to surrender.

"You’re really despicable."

Upon hearing Tang Fengyun’s words, Lu Chuan’s face turned extremely ugly. He hadn’t expected Tang Fengyun to do this, wishing to take action but, seeing Tang Fengyun’s movements, could only stand there helplessly, not daring to make any motion. A late-stage Mythical could kill three ordinary people in a single thought.

"Despicable?"

After hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Tang Fengyun revealed a victorious smile: "Thank you for the compliment, I am indeed this despicable. Besides, haven’t you heard the saying? ’The winner is king.’ As long as I win this time, it’s fine. Once I win, nobody will know whether my actions were despicable or not. But Lu Chuan, I think you’re destined to fail to escape death today."

As he finished speaking, Tang Fengyun’s aura suddenly became immensely sharp: "Lu Chuan, I’ll give you a chance now. If you commit suicide before me, I might be merciful enough to only take Bai Qiao Mountain away. But if you don’t do as I say, then don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Bai Qiao Mountain, hearing Tang Fengyun’s words, looked at Lu Chuan and shouted loudly: "Brother Lu, don’t listen to him, he’s just a scoundrel who won’t keep his word."

"You’re right, I indeed don’t keep my word."

Tang Fengyun nodded with indifference and said, "Lu Chuan, but if you don’t do as I say, I’ll kill this old man right now, you can try and see if I do it or not."

As he spoke, Tang Fengyun moved his mind, and the True Qi trapping He Cailan suddenly transformed into a big hand, directly pinching He Cailan’s neck. With just a little force, he could twist He Cailan’s neck.

"You dare!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Qiao Mountain’s eyes widened in fury and he struggled desperately, but it was to no avail. An ordinary person was nowhere near strong enough to affect a martial artist.

"Do I not dare?"

Tang Fengyun smiled faintly, his tone suddenly murderous: "Lu Chuan, do you dare to gamble and see if I dare to kill her?"

As he spoke, Tang Fengyun moved his mind, the True Qi hand slightly exerted force, and He Cailan’s face became pained.

"You...."

Seeing this, Lu Chuan’s face turned ugly. Gamble? He dared not gamble, because it was certain to be a lost cause. Killing someone for Tang Fengyun was as simple as eating and drinking, it wouldn’t cause him any mental disturbance.

"I’ll count to three, Lu Chuan. If you haven’t made up your mind, then don’t blame me for being vicious."

Tang Fengyun’s voice was full of coldness: "Three...."

"I agree."

Before Tang Fengyun could count to two, Lu Chuan spoke: "I agree, I choose to commit suicide, but I hope you don’t harm them."

"Lu Chuan, you aren’t in a position to negotiate terms with me now." Tang Fengyun said indifferently.

"Housekeeper Lu, you mustn’t listen to him! You must leave, leave quickly!" Bai Qiao Mountain suddenly said at this moment.

Upon hearing Bai Qiao Mountain’s words, Lu Chuan took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Bai, this matter is entirely my fault. If I hadn’t been careless, things wouldn’t have reached this point. The Master sent me to protect you, but I failed my duty, which is a grave sin. Now, if my death can exchange for your safety, I, Lu Chuan, will have no regrets."

"Moreover, if it weren’t for the Lu Family, I should have died decades ago. I’ve already earned decades of life, so it’s no big deal if I die now. Mr. Bai, I only hope that one day, if the Third Master can crush the Tang Family, to use the blood of Tang Family members to commemorate me, that would let me rest in peace."

With that, Lu Chuan slowly raised his palm, True Qi swirling in his palm with terrifying energy fluctuations, ready to strike towards his own head.

"Ding-a-ling-ling...."

Just then, a piercing phone ringtone suddenly rang in the room.

Hearing the phone ringtone, Tang Fengyun’s face suddenly changed. He swiftly took out his phone from his pocket, and upon seeing the caller ID, his expression grew increasingly cold. He didn’t hesitate and immediately answered the call.

When the call connected, before Tang Fengyun could speak, a terrified voice came through the phone: "Master Yun, quickly leave, leave the Bai Family Ancestral House. We can’t hold on anymore. The Rose Society has sent many experts to the Bai Family Ancestral House, including Jiang Liufeng’s Divine Gun Guards. They’ve come to kill, we can’t stop them, Master Yun, quickly leave the Bai Family Ancestral House, ah...."

This extremely urgent voice ultimately ceased amidst a miserably piercing scream, leaving only the chaotic noises from the phone.

As he listened to the chaotic noises from the phone, Tang Fengyun’s face turned ashen. He glanced at Lu Chuan, who had halted his actions, then looked at He Cailan and Bai Weiwei. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes. With True Qi, he blasted a large hole in the wall, grabbed Bai Qiao Mountain’s shoulder, and like lightning, rushed outside, completely disregarding Lu Chuan.

Whether Lu Chuan lived or died no longer mattered to him. From the phone call, he had felt that if he stayed any longer, he might truly not be able to leave.

Besides, he was here to capture Bai Qiao Mountain. As long as Bai Qiao Mountain was in his hands, his plan was considered successful. As for Bai Weiwei and He Cailan, taking them would be a burden, and killing them wasn’t an option. If he were to kill He Cailan and Bai Weiwei, then Lu Tianxing would undoubtedly go berserk, and when that happens, an enraged Lu Tianxing would surely storm the Tang Family, resulting in mutual destruction.

This was something the Tang Family absolutely didn’t want to see. They aimed to annihilate the Lu Family with minimal losses, not to risk mutual destruction with Lu Tianxing and the Lu Family. This didn’t fit the Tang Family’s interests. More importantly, He Cailan and Bai Weiwei were ordinary people incapable of posing any threat to the Tang Family.
