Chapter 2239 - 2212: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

Yang Anlong squinted slightly upon hearing Tang Qingyun’s words: "Young Master Tang, you want to use others to kill."

"Of course."

Tang Qingyun smiled faintly and said: "Now everyone knows that Lu Tianxing possesses an astonishing cultivation technique. Whoever acquires it can become a top family in China. If we kill Lu Tianxing, the technique will be lost, but we can then secretly spread a rumor saying that Lu Tianxing, knowing he would die, left his cultivation technique for his son to learn and avenge him. Yang Family Master, what do you think those greedy forces would do then?"

A strange gleam sparkled in Tang Qingyun’s eyes; this is his real move, using others to kill.

As for obtaining Lu Tianxing’s cultivation technique, Tang Qingyun never even considered doing so. Capturing Lu Tianxing alive is far more difficult than killing him. If they can’t capture him, Lu Tianxing might get a chance to recover, and their fate would be obvious. Therefore, neither Tang Qingyun nor Yang Anlong ever thought about getting the cultivation technique from Lu Tianxing.

After hearing Tang Qingyun’s words, Yang Anlong’s eyes also flashed with insight. This is definitely the best way to eliminate threats completely. Later, they can secretly send experts to eliminate Bai Zhiqing and others, and the Yanhuang Group probably wouldn’t suspect them.

Moreover, there is a crucial aspect: diverting the trouble. If they kill Lu Tianxing, the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng will surely retaliate. If someone then targets Bai Zhiqing, it would naturally shift the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng’s focus, allowing them ample time to prepare how to deal with the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng.

Regarding whether these forces will act as they hope, neither Tang Qingyun nor Yang Anlong considered this. There’s a saying that "profit makes people mad." In the capitalist’s eyes, if the profit can be fifty percent, they don’t mind taking risks. If it can be a hundred percent, they dare to tread all laws. If it can be three hundred percent, they could commit any crime imaginable, even if it means leaving nothing behind, unable to stop them.

An astonishing cultivation technique can inexplicably create countless experts for one’s family, making them a top force in China, if not the world. No family can resist this temptation. Trying your luck is an irresistible allure for many forces.

"Young Master Tang, truly a master at calculations."

Yang Anlong took a deep breath and looked at Tang Qingyun admiringly: "If the Tang Family is handed over to you, Young Master Tang, in the future, you will surely surpass your predecessors. If Young Master Tang doesn’t mind, our Yang Family is willing to form an eternal alliance with the Tang Family, advancing and retreating together. What do you think, Young Master Tang?"

"Haha, Yang Family Master, forming an alliance with the Yang Family, Qingyun is naturally very willing. However, Yang Family Master, you should know that I am merely the Young Master of the Tang Family now, not the Family Head, and I’m not qualified to discuss this matter with you. How about we deal with Lu Tianxing first, then I return to the Tang Family and report it to my father, and let him personally discuss it with you?"

Tang Qingyun smiled lightly, without any vanity from Yang Anlong’s flattery. In dealing with such an old fox, one must be extremely cautious, or else you might end up being devoured with nothing left.

Yang Anlong heard this and showed no sign of displeasure, but instead smiled faintly and said: "Then I shall await the Tang Family Head in Beijing."

...

Beijing is starting to experience surges beneath its surface, and a storm is slowly unfolding, as is the case on Qin Island. At the Qiu Family Mansion on Qin Island.

Qiu Tianrui stood respectfully in the study, quietly watching Qiu Zhengfeng sit in a Taishi Chair reading, without uttering a word, simply sitting silently.

Time ticked by slowly.

After about half an hour, Qiu Zhengfeng slowly put aside the "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" he was holding, picked up the cold tea beside him, took a gentle sip, and then slowly exhaled a breath of foul air from his mouth.

Seeing Qiu Zhengfeng put down the book, Qiu Tianrui immediately spoke: "Grandfather, the tea is a bit cold. How about I brew a fresh pot for you?"

"No need; cold tea also has its flavor, not necessarily worse than freshly brewed tea."

Upon hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng casually waved his hand and said: "Tianrui, it’s so late, why aren’t you at home sleeping, but coming here? Haven’t I told you to take charge of the Qiu Family in the future? Why run over here, are you facing some troubles?"

Upon hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words, Qiu Tianrui took a deep breath and said: "Grandfather, it seems anything can’t be hidden from you, indeed I’ve encountered a thing, and I want to discuss how we should handle this with you."

Having heard Qiu Tianrui’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng said: "Don’t keep standing, sit and tell me what exactly happened."

"Yes."

Qiu Tianrui nodded slightly, sat down in the nearby chair, and slowly began to speak: "Grandfather, you probably have heard about the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, and know he possesses a terrifying cultivation technique. I came today for this matter."

"What has happened?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhengfeng’s expression gradually grew solemn. He naturally knew the news that Lu Tianxing possesses an astonishing cultivation technique, and whoever acquires it could quickly cultivate top experts. He also knows that because of this, Lu Tianxing has become a coveted target by all forces in China.

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Tianrui said: "Just now I received news from Beijing, saying that after leaving Xiangjiang, the Third Young Master of the Lu Family did not return to Modu or Jiangnan but went straight to Beijing. Moreover, we’ve discovered spies from other forces seemingly active around our Qiu Family, secretly investigating us."

At this point, Qiu Tianrui took a deep breath and heavily said: "Grandfather, I suspect these forces have targeted our Qiu Family, and might be planning to eradicate us completely. After all, my sister has a good relationship with the Third Young Master of the Lu Family. Each generation of the Lu Family produces a monstrous talent, and these forces want to seize the cultivation technique from the Third Young Master of the Lu Family without fear of the Lu Family producing another monstrous talent. The best method is to eliminate the roots, killing without hesitation, and I worry they will harm my sister."
