Chapter 771 - 766 Basen
Upon hearing Xiao Liu’s words, Lu Tianxing suddenly remembered that some time ago, he healed Xue Man’s mother and incidentally killed a Golden Cicada. If his guess was correct, the person dressed in the attire from the Miao Border that Xiao Liu mentioned was likely the very Golden Cicada Gu Master who had planned to use Xue Man’s mother as a host to cultivate the Golden Cicada.
It was known that there was a unique way of connection between a Gu Master and their Gu Worms. Perhaps because he had killed the Golden Cicada, he had acquired a kind of aura that ordinary people could not detect, which had now drawn the attention of this Golden Cicada Gu Master. However, what he hadn’t expected was that the Golden Cicada Gu Master would take so long to come after him.
"Brother Lu? What Golden Cicada Gu Master, should the Unrivaled Guards take action?" Xiao Liu’s voice came through the phone with a hint of confusion.
"No need, I will handle this matter personally. Call off everyone who is watching him. Don’t make pointless sacrifices."
Lu Tianxing declined Xiao Liu’s suggestion. Since the Golden Cicada Gu Master had taken this long to seek him out, he evidently succeeded in cultivating the Gu Worm and was confident enough to confront him. The Unrivaled Guards were strong, but against a Golden Cicada Gu Master, they would likely be no match—after all, if a Gu Master is not taken down, they would pose an endless threat. Therefore, he would either not act at all or completely eliminate the Golden Cicada Gu Master in one fell swoop.
"Got it, Brother Lu. Just be careful on your own."
After hanging up with Xiao Liu, Lu Tianxing glanced at Bai Zhiqing beside him, fell silent for a moment, and then decided to make a call to Xue Man.
In the security department of Bai’s Group, Xue Man stared blankly at the caller ID on her phone, a complex expression crossing her face. She placed her finger on the end call button several times, but ultimately couldn’t bring herself to disconnect the call.
After a long while, Xue Man took a deep breath and finally answered the call, her voice calm, "Assistant Lu, what’s the matter? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
