Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

"Honey, you’re right."

Lu Tianxing glanced at Bai Zhiqing appreciatively, nodded, and continued, "I indeed want to leverage the power of the Rose Society. Even though Bai’s Group is strong, it’s ultimately a public entity. This time, although I have eliminated Ye Lang, deterring those assassins and mercenaries crazy for the bounty, the truly terrifying individuals aren’t these assassins and mercenaries. Their strength is formidable, but they are merely scattered forces, barely worth mentioning, easily annihilated with a flip of the hand."

"The real threat to us comes from other forces, like the Heavenly God who posted the bounty on you. They crush these mercenaries in both power and strength. Once they make a move, it will be a full-scale assault, catching us completely off guard. Perhaps, on the street, any ordinary person we meet could be out to kill us. They won’t give us time to grow our power. Instead of wasting time, why not support a power to help us build Modu into an impregnable fortress?"

"As long as Modu is under our control, even if they want to make a move, we could be aware of their actions in advance, strike first, and annihilate them,"

Lu Tianxing spoke slowly, his face tinted with seriousness. What truly worried him weren’t the assassins or mercenaries but the families and sects in China—forces with deep roots and astonishing strength, all guarded by a group of persistent old-guard with equally incredible strength. Although some might accept death calmly, others would do everything possible to continue living. Despite the legend of the Four Symbols Ring being elusive, to prolong life, regardless of its truth, these individuals would stop at nothing to capture Bai Zhiqing and obtain the Xuanwu Ring from her.

It was these persistent old-guard that were the most terrifying. Better to err on the side of caution. Whether the Four Symbols Ring could open the Ancient Qin Qi Refiner’s Tomb or if there was indeed a cultivation technique for immortality inside, mere rumors would keep them from passing up this opportunity. Once these persistent old-guard acted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Bai’s Group was indeed strong in Modu, but in the eyes of these well-established families, Bai’s Group was just like an infant learning to walk trying to play tug-of-war with a strongman—utterly overmatched.

Although his strength was formidable, and Bai Zhiqing had the protection of Fu Tu and Tie Niu, even a tiger might doze; if a mythic-level warrior merely detained them, Bai Zhiqing would undoubtedly die.

From the time he annihilated the Sword Alliance, he had planned to assist Rose in making the Rose Society the leading force in Modu. Although he had the backing of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, they were too distant to quench immediate thirst, and they couldn’t massively enter China without first facing a backlash from the Yanhuang Group.

The Yanhuang Group would never sit idle watching the Netherworld Mercenary Corps stir up trouble within Chinese territory; otherwise, Ye Lang wouldn’t have shrank back and allied with the Wang Family, knowing well that once his whereabouts were found, the Yanhuang Group would act. The mythic realm might be strong, but the hidden strength of the Yanhuang Group’s old-guard was no weaker.

This was precisely why Lu Tianxing was determined to form the Rose Society. Since the Netherworld Mercenary Corps couldn’t enter China, he would create a power to control the Underworld of Modu, form an impeccable surveillance network, seizing control of everything. This time, he intended to use the Wang Family to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, smoothing the path for the Rose Society’s expansion.
