<strong>Chapter 1636: Chapter 1629: Crisis Resolved</strong>


    “What a cunning n, who would have thought I’d spend my life hunting geese, only to have my eyes pecked out by one.” The man said through clenched teeth.


    “I also think it’s a clever calction.”


    Mand looked at the face that was identical to Lu Tianxing’s, her tone as cold as ice, “Fu Tu, I really dislike him imitating my brother’s face, tear off this sham mask for me.”


    “Whizz!”


    Just as Mand finished speaking, a small knife condensed from True Qi suddenly appeared in Fu Tu’s hand. With a flick of his arm, a beam of light shed by, and the small knife flew directly past the man’s cheek.


    “Ah!”


    After the sh of the knife, the man couldn’t help but let out a shrill scream, and the human skin mask on his face instantly shattered, revealing a scarred face that looked terrifying.


    “Tsk tsk, you’re really ugly.”


    “You…”


    The man red at Mand with eyes zing with fury, he hated more than anything being called ugly, and everyone who had said that to him was dead. If he weren’tpletely powerless, he would ensure Mand’s death without a trace.


    “Boom!”


    At this moment, a red sports car suddenly drove up from a distance, smoothly stopping at the entrance of Bai’s Group with a skillful tailspin.


    Simultaneously, the car door opened, and a woman with a voluptuous figure and seductive appearance stepped out.


    “Greetings, Great Hall Master.”


    Upon seeing the woman, Wu Tao respectfully bowed.


    This enchanting woman was none other than Rose.


    “Sister Mei Gui, you’re here.” Mand greeted.


    “Rose.”


    Bai Zhiqing and her twopanions also nodded to Rose with faint smiles on their faces.


    “How’s it going, Zhiqing, are you all alright!” Rose asked worriedly, scanning the surroundings as she stepped out of the car.


    “Thanks to Elder Wu’s timely intervention, we’re unharmed.” Bai Zhiqing shook her head and replied.


    Rose nodded, her gaze falling on the man, and she slowly spoke, “Manman, have you found out who sent this guy?”


    “Not yet.”


    Mand shook her head.


    “Why not let me take him? I’d like to ask him who dares to cause trouble in Modu.”


    Before she finished speaking, Rose’s lips slightly curved upward, revealing a cold smile.


    “No problem, Sister Mei Gui, just take him away directly. Oh, and should we poison him again to prevent his strength from suddenly returning?”


    “No need, he’s not worth wasting any poison, he doesn’t deserve it.”


    Rose coldly nced at the man, disliking anyone imitating her man’s face. This man had already touched her reverse scale and had only one way out – death.


    “Elder Wu, cripple his Dantian for me.”


    Wu Tao nodded, saying nothing, but casually flicked his hand, and a wave of True Qi directly struck the man’s Dantian, violently shattering it.


    “Ah!”


    The man couldn’t help but let out another shrill scream, copsing like a deted balloon, blood streaming from his seven orifices, his face full of deep-seated hatred towards Rose.


    Rose, ignoring the man’s hateful gaze, turned to Bai Zhiqing and said, “Zhiqing, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take this fellow back and find out who’s targeting you all.”


    “En, Rose, be careful on your way.” Bai Zhiqing nodded and said.


    Rose nodded, said nothing more, got into the sports car, and left.


    Wu Tao, after greeting Bai Zhiqing and the others, quietly vanished with Tie Niu and Fu Tu.


    After experiencing the recent events, Bai Zhiqing and the others no longer felt like going out for ate-night snack and headed directly to Ziyuan District.


    The night was pitch ck with rolling clouds blocking the moonlight, and the evening breeze brought a hint of autumn chill.


    At the entrance of Maria Catholic Church.


    Avril had been escorted back to Maria Catholic Church by Charles, but at this moment, Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun also arrived at Maria Catholic Church.


    Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun got out of the car almost simultaneously. Upon seeing Avril, whose face was not looking good, clearly injured but at least not in mortal danger, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Avril was fine; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    “Group Leader Sima, Judge, what are you doing here? Are you here tough at me, Avril?”


    Avril red at Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun with a face as cold as ice, her expression looking terrible to the extreme, radiating a chilling murderous intent. This was undoubtedly the most humiliating moment of her life, being chased without any chance to fight back and nearly dying. If Charles hadn’t arrived in time, she would have been dead. Naturally, she could not maintain a good tone.


    The dignified Holy Daughter of the Holy See, with an iparable status, being chased with no escape, was a disgrace that could never be erased.


    “Laugh at you? Avril, do you think I’m that idle? I only came to see if you were dead. It seems your life is tougher than I imagined, like a cockroach.” Lu Tianxing said evenly, though a trace of solemnity shed deep in his eyes, pondering who could be targeting Avril this time.


    Upon hearing these words, Avril said coldly, “Hmph, are you particrly disappointed now that I haven’t died?”


    “Disappointed? No, no, I’m quite pleased that you’re alive. If you were dead, I wouldn’t want to take the me for your death. You can die when you return to Vatican, there’s no rush.” Lu Tianxing said leisurely.


    “You…”


    Avril’s face turned extremely ugly when she heard Lu Tianxing’s words, giving a heavy cold snort, “Bishop Charles, let’s go.”


    Without any hesitation, Avril turned and headed inside Maria Catholic Church.


    “Group Leader Sima, sorry, the Holy Daughter was just chased and is in a bad mood, so I apologize.”


    Charles nced at Sima Lingyun, offered a moment of insincere apology, and followed behind Avril into Maria Catholic Church, without acknowledging Lu Tianxing.


    Their purpose ining to China was to eliminate Lu Tianxing and boost Avril’s influence in the church. Now they hadpletely broken ties with Lu Tianxing, there was no need to be courteous anymore.


    Lu Tianxing watched Avril’s back with a solemn expression, saying, “Sima Lingyun, what do you think about what’s happened tonight?”


    “The ones who took action must have been watching Avril for a while; otherwise, they couldn’t have timed it so perfectly. Avril has been in China for a while now, always apanied by Charles, only tonight he wasn’t with her, giving others the opportunity. This must have been nned for some time or they’ve been watching Avril closely.” Sima Lingyun said solemnly.


    This was definitely a premeditated act, or rather, the target from the beginning was Avril, with the clear intention to kill her. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have seized such a fleeting opportunity.


    “Do you have any suspects?” Lu Tianxing asked seriously.


    “No.”


    Sima Lingyun shook his head, saying, “There are a lot of people who want Avril dead, including all the families you have enmity with. For them, killing Avril would mean your demise, dragging the entire Lu Family into it, leading to their destruction. If they’re this eager to act, it must be one of your enemies, and one who holds a deep hatred, otherwise they wouldn’t be so desperate to kill Avril at any cost.”


    Sima Lingyun calmly analyzed the situation, which is also why he never suspected Lu Tianxing. Killing Avril now would gain him nothing, only bringing harm. It wouldn’t benefit Lu Tianxing in any way.


    Moreover, if Lu Tianxing truly wanted Avril dead, he wouldn’t have needed toe to Beijing and risk himself, there are plenty of other ways to kill her, leaving her no chance to survive.


    Hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but furrow his brows; Sima was right, he had too many enemies, many eager to have someone else do the dirty work for them. Without specific clues, it was impossible to tell who was targeting Avril, despite the use of an Array-breaking Crossbow, which offered no real clues, as Yanhuang Group had lost too many of them over the years to track.


    “Judge, what’s your n next?” Sima Lingyun asked, watching Lu Tianxing with a solemn expression, indirectly revealing there was another hidden third party in Beijing, whose power is definitely not weak, otherwise they couldn’t have fought Avril to such a helpless escape.


    “What is there to fear? When soldierse, guard the gates; with floods, cover with earth. If they’re willing to get involved, I won’t show any mercy, sending them all down the etherworld.”


    As he spoke, Lu Tianxing’s eyes glinted with fierce murderous intent.


    Sima Lingyun looked at Lu Tianxing’s expression, sighed deeply, said nothing more, and waved at Lu Tianxing before leaving Maria Catholic Church. He came to see if Avril was injured, and since she’s fine, there’s no reason for him to linger here.
