<h4>Chapter 1615: Chapter 1608: Hidden Agendas</h4>


    After listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, Starving Ghost, Tan Lang, Po Jun, and others immediately fell silent. Lu Tianxing was right; once they tear apart their rtionship with these three major forces, the Netherworld Mercenary Corps will have no ce in the Western Underground World, or even in the entire world. The only ce they can have a foothold is China, and this ce is arguably the best destination for a mercenary’s lifetime. They can live without fear, marry and have children just like ordinary people, which is something any mercenary would yearn for all their life.


    "Boss, if that’s the case, I’ll call Little Bee now and ask him to arrange for all the brothers of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps toe to China, lest too many changes make it difficult to avoid unexpected urrences." Po Jun said.


    "Hmm."


    Lu Tianxing nodded, sternly saying, "Make sure Little Bee hurries, we don’t have much time left. The sooner the better for this matter. If someone is unwilling toe, just give them some money and let them leave. Whether they live or die in the future depends on their own fate."


    Saying this, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath. This is all he can do. After all, every person has their own aspirations. Even though he is the leader of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps and manages it, he cannot control a person’s heart. Each person has their own aspirations, whether to stay or leave, and this is all he can do.


    "Boss, you’ve already done enough. The road ahead is theirs to choose; whether they live or die, it’s not your fault."


    Starving Ghost sighed lightly; the Netherworld Mercenary Corps joining the Yanhuang Group is equivalent to disbanding. Returning to China and joining the Yanhuang Group guarantees they won’t die, but once they remain in the Western World, they will definitely face the pursuit of the three major forces, and the ultimate fate will be a dead end.


    Lu Tianxing sighed silently in his heart and didn’t speak further. He just picked up a bottle of wine next to him, poured a full bowl for himself, and drank it all at once.


    At the same time, the Yang Family!


    Yang Anlong sat as usual on the sofa in the living room, holding a cigarette, gently smoking. Amidst the swirling smoke, a hint of unconcealed excitement shed across his face, along with a trace of extreme murderous intent.


    Because just now, he received a message that Lu Haoyue is intending to bring people into Beijing.


    This news made Yang Anlong, whose mood was originally grim, suddenly excited. If he could kill Lu Haoyue and Lu Tianxing in Beijing, it would definitely be revenge for Yang Family from theirst feud.


    "Timed so perfectly, you’re alling to Beijing, couldn’t be better. Lu Tiankuang, I never expected you to have the guts to bring both of your grandsons into Beijing. Good, good, then don’t me me for being ruthless. Since you’vee, there’s no need to return this time; I’ll kill both brothers so your Lu Family will be cut off from descendants forever."


    Yang Anlong’s eyes shone with a deep-seated murderous intent, and the entire person seemed like a hidden poisonous snake, giving others a sense of chill.


    Taking a fierce drag from his cigarette, a light shed in Yang Anlong’s eyes. He picked up the phone next to him and dialed Avril’s number.


    To kill Lu Haoyue, the Yang Family definitely cannot take action. The only one who can make a move is Avril.


    As soon as the call was answered, Avril’s voice, like a sound from heaven, reached Yang Anlong’s ears: "Yang Family Master, I don’t know why you’re calling me at this time?"


    "Holy Daughter, I think you’ve heard the news, right? Lu Family’s current head, Lu Haoyue, is about to arrive in Beijing."


    "Lu Haoyue ising too?"


    Avril frowned slightly, then said, "Then Yang Family Master, what do you want me to do? You can’t be telling me you’re calling me just to inform me of this news."


    "Holy Daughter truly is smart. I need you to help me kill Lu Haoyue, kill both him and Lu Tianxing. Can you do it?" Yang Anlong said with a hint of murderous intent in his voice.


    "Yang Family Master, killing for the Church is a very easy task, but you must know, Lu Haoyue is the head of the Lu Family. Killing Lu Tianxing alone wouldn’t end the Lu Family, but killing Lu Haoyue would mean exterminating the Lu Family, and such a feud is no different than a blood feud. I think..."


    Before Avril could finish her sentence, Yang Anlong directly and frankly said, "Holy Daughter, if you help me kill Lu Haoyue, in the future when you seize the position of Pope, I can have the Yang Family Ancestor suppress all dissenters for you. I think a peak martial artist of the Late Stage of Mythical is enough to let you sit securely on the Pope’s throne, right!"


    Upon hearing Yang Anlong’s words, a sh crossed Avril’s eyes, but she didn’t speak immediately. Instead, she pondered the intricacies within.


    Yang Anlong’s face carried a hint of sinister murderous intent, yet he didn’t speak further. He believed that Avril would definitely agree to him this time.


    After a long while, Avril’s voice came over the phone: "Alright, I agree to this matter, but I will only strike once. I can’t guarantee sess."


    "Good, I’ll leave this matter to the Holy Daughter."


    "We are partners; there’s no need to be so polite."


    With that, Avril directly hung up the call with Yang Anlong.


    "Holy Daughter, do you really intend to make a move against Lu Haoyue?" Seeing Avril hang up the phone, Charles, who had been standing by her side, hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    "Hmph, Yang Anlong is ying a good hand, but he thinks that when I kill Lu Haoyue, it will be my time to die. Does he really take me, Avril, for a fool? Even if I gain the position of Pope after killing Lu Haoyue, I probably won’t find peace in this lifetime. Besides, my target this time is Lu Tianxing, not Lu Haoyue."


    A mocking smile shed across Avril’s face as she looked at Charles and said, "Elder Charles, send my order: once we act, we must spare no expense to eliminate Lu Tianxing. The moment Lu Tianxing is dead, we retreat immediately. We must not linger in battle."


    "Understood, Holy Daughter, I’ll go make the arrangements now."


    Charles nodded, turned around, and walked out without any hesitation.


    Avril stood up and slowly walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside. A deeplyplex expression flitted across her eyes. Since her contact with Lu Tianxingst night, she noticed she seemed to have developed a strange feeling towards him. Even she couldn’t exin what it was.


    "Lu Tianxing..."


    Avril took a deep breath, muttering the name with a deeplyplex expression in her eyes. One couldn’t tell if it was killing intent or something else, leaving a feeling that was indescribable.


    Meanwhile, in the northern part of China, in Qin Ind City, a stand-alone private vi stood in the most expensive Eight Great Passes Vi District. The vi’s antique architecture was quite eye-catching.


    At this moment, in the independent private vi, an elderly man of great age was seated on a stone stool in a pavilion, holding a purple teapot in his hand, asionally taking a sip from it.


    If there were any knowledgeable antique experts present, and they saw the purple teapot in the old man’s hand, they would undoubtedly be speechless with shock because this teapot, if auctioned, would be enough to buy a valuable vi.


    Ordinary people, upon obtaining this teapot, would cherish it like a treasure, afraid of it getting chipped or damaged, unlike the old man who casually used it to brew tea.


    "Knock knock!"


    At this moment, steady footsteps approached from outside. A tall figure, looking like a spear standing between heaven and earth, walked in. The visage hidden behind an iron mask made it impossible to see any changes in expression.


    "Master."


    Upon seeing the old man, Cangwu immediately greeted respectfully, "Master, I wonder what you need from me."


    "Cangwu, you’re here."


    The old man slowly turned around upon hearing the voice and said, "Cangwu, I’ve already taught you the Four Styles of Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest. Just practice them diligently. Today, I’m calling you to ask if you’d be willing to go to Beijing to protect Tianxing. Are you willing to go?"


    "Master, I’m willing," Cangwu said without any hesitation.


    "Good, Cangwu, prepare yourself to head to Beijing tonight. Hmph, this time, I want to see how many unafraid of death dare to make a move against my grandson-inw. In the past, Lu Tiankuang could make Beijing run with rivers of blood that didn’t fade for twenty-some years. I, Jiang Liufeng, can do the same. Cangwu, you don’t need to act against Middle-stage Mythical level people, but if anyone from the Late Stage of Mythical acts, then kill him for me."


    The old man’s voice carried a strong intent of massacre, with a hint of bloodthirstiness.


    "Master, leave it to me. I don’t mind letting them be spirits under my spear. Those Western barbarians are easy to kill,"


    Cangwu’s face showed a wild arrogance, his eyes glinting with cold killing intent.


    "Cangwu, I know your strength well, so I won’t say more. Be careful on your way."


    "I understand, Master. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go prepare to head to Beijing tonight."


    "You go on! Be careful."


    The old man casually waved his hand, saying nothing more. He simply stood up from the pavilion, raised his head, and gazed at the somewhat gray sky, lost in thought, pondering who knows what.


    PS: Speechless, I recently assembled aputer, and it turned out the monitor’s cable was connected wrong. I was wondering why other buyers’ benchmarks were eighty or ny thousand, but mine was only ten thousand. It turns out the CPU had an integrated graphics core, and I plugged the monitor plug into the motherboard, using the integrated graphics of the CPU. I even thought my dedicated graphics card was fake. It wasn’t even used, but I argued with customer service for a long time, thinking it was the system’s fault, reinstalling it again and again. How embarrassing!!
