Chapter 1887 - 1880: Ashida Ikeda’s Whereabouts
"I don’t have that much time to snatch the Four Symbols Ring, besides, having these two Four Symbols Rings is enough."
Listening to the old man’s words, Heavenly God calmly said, "The Four Symbols Ring is a map to the Ancient Qin Qi Refiner’s Tomb, and also the key to open the tomb. Although we can’t gather all four rings, with just two, we can sense the existence of the Qi Refiner’s Grave. Finding it may not be a difficult task. Once we find it, even without the key, we will find a way to open it."
"But, the strength of the Third Young Master of Lu Family..."
Before the old man could finish his sentence, Heavenly God interrupted him: "The Third Young Master of Lu Family is insignificant. Once I step into the Ancient Qin Qi Refiner’s Tomb and obtain its contents, the trivial Third Young Master of Lu Family poses no threat. Moreover, Elder Huang, do you really think that the Ancient Qin Qi Refiner’s Tomb is that simple?"
"Is it not simple?" The old man looked puzzled.
"Simple?"
Heavenly God sneered, "If the Ancient Qin Qi Refiner’s Tomb were that simple, do you think the four major families would have failed when they attacked the Qi Refiner’s Grave with all their might? Would they have been annihilated?"
At this point, a glint flashed in Heavenly God’s long eyes, but he did not continue speaking. Instead, he looked at the old man and said, "Elder Huang, quickly assign people to search Shennongjia. No matter what, the Qi Refiner’s Grave must be found in the shortest time possible. During this period, there must be no unnecessary issues. Anyone disobeying will be killed."
"Yes."
The old man nodded solemnly.

In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight pierced the sky and spread across the east-west horizon, Tokyo greeted a new day once again. The streets, previously in chaos, had regained their bustling and lively atmosphere, as if last night’s events never happened.
But for some of the influential people in Tokyo, the incident last night was perhaps the most unforgettable and terrifying night of their lives.
Even now, basking in the warm sunlight, they felt cold inside—a chill that emanated from their bones, because they knew that overnight, Tokyo’s first family had changed hands. The Shankou Family, once dominating Tokyo, was completely obliterated and became history, replaced by the Dechuan Family.
And Lu Tianxing, who orchestrated all these events, was sitting leisurely on the Dechuan Family’s sofa, holding a glass of red wine, tasting it with utmost relaxation.
He gently swirled the wine glass, taking a sip, smacking his lips as if savoring the wine’s exquisite taste.
Beside Lu Tianxing, Dechuan Asaka was sitting on the sofa, massaging his legs.
If some of Dechuan Asaka’s suitors saw this, they likely wouldn’t hesitate to tear Lu Tianxing to pieces.
"How’s it going? Did your father agree to give up the position of Family Head?" Lu Tianxing slowly asked Asaka.
Last night, after keeping Dechuan Zhenye and Dechuan Asaka, he didn’t linger at the Dechuan Family and left immediately.
After all, compared to the Dechuan Family’s matters, his brothers were the priority. It wasn’t until this morning, after arranging everything, that he returned to the Dechuan Family.
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Asaka nodded lightly: "It’s settled. My father plans to give up the position of Family Head to me in three days, making me the Clan Leader of the Dechuan Family."
"Good, in that case, make sure to develop the Dechuan Family well!"
Lu Tianxing glanced at Dechuan Asaka, not saying anything intimidating, knowing that if she wasn’t foolish, she wouldn’t dare play tricks behind his back.
"By the way, I told you to urgently investigate Ashida Ikeda’s whereabouts. Have you found anything?" Lu Tianxing asked softly.
Dechuan Asaka spoke up: "We’ve discovered some information. Ashida Ikeda is indeed in seclusion atop Mount Fuji, and according to our investigation, ever since he returned to Japan, someone has been secretly delivering food to the mountain top."
"Do you know where Ashida Ikeda is hiding?" Lu Tianxing asked without hesitation.
"Can’t find him."
Dechuan Asaka shook her head: "Ashida Ikeda is exceedingly cautious. Although we’ve controlled the person delivering food to him, according to the description, he merely delivers the food to the mountaintop, leaves it in a specified area, and then leaves."
At this point, Dechuan Asaka deliberately paused before continuing, "However, based on our investigation, the food disappears quickly, indicating that someone is indeed active on the mountain top, likely Ashida Ikeda. But, Ashida Ikeda is very powerful and, given his caution, if we act rashly, he might disappear without a trace."
"These details are sufficient. Control the person delivering food secretly. Continue supplying Ashida Ikeda, but don’t leave any traces. We’ll take action tonight to avoid complications." Lu Tianxing’s tone was calm, as though Ashida Ikeda was merely a dog to be dealt with at his whim.
"Okay, no problem."
Dechuan Asaka nodded firmly but soon furrowed her eyebrows slightly, as if remembering something: "Ashida Ikeda is a late-stage mythical old powerhouse, terrifyingly strong. Moreover, Godslayer One Strike is extremely formidable. His strength cannot be compared with Kawakami Renichi. If we act recklessly, we might suffer losses."
"You think I can’t handle him?" Lu Tianxing glanced at Dechuan Asaka and asked.
"No!"
Dechuan Asaka quickly shook her head: "I just don’t want Lord Tianxing to make an unnecessary sacrifice. Besides, isn’t there someone called Poison Master under your command?"
Lu Tianxing didn’t speak, instead looking at Dechuan Asaka with meaningful intent.
"I’ve heard she’s unparalleled in using poison, particularly skilled in concocting various potions, colorless and tasteless, and without her antidote, survival is impossible."
"Are you planning to poison Ashida Ikeda?"
"That’s right."
Dechuan Asaka’s smile gradually faded, replaced by an unmistakable killing intent: "We can secretly poison Ashida Ikeda’s meals to kill him, saving a lot of trouble for you, Lord Tianxing, without taking risks."
