They only targeted normal women first, but then began to shift their targets to female cultivators, and that angered all the other clans and sects, resulting in their purge.

Almost every single member of the sect was killed, and extinction was imminent when Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Bowen to sever the dragon’s vein, which caused all the clans and sects to be sealed. The Soul-snatcher Sect evaded utter annihilation only because of that.

The sect then settled down in the southwest since then, bidding their time. The sect grew in secret when Spiritual Qi began to be restored to the world.

Unlike the Chen Clan and the Seven Invincible Sect that were exclusively warrior organizations, the Soul-snatcher Sect had a proper lineage. While most of it had been lost when they were running away, what remained of their lineage was nonetheless far stronger than the likes of the Chen Clan, whose cultivation methods were half-baked, to begin with.

The sect practically became the supreme sect among the cultivators in the southwest when Lu Xuan got to know them in his past life.

At present, however, the Soul-snatcher Sect was probably just beginning to revive, and their prowess was, no doubt, far behind than what it had been in his past life.

Despite having a well-laid and profound lineage, it would amount to nothing without an environment with restored Spiritual Qi. All that lineage was hardly even considered useful when compared to the likes of the Chen Clan and the Seven Invincible Sect, which specialized only in martial arts.

It was just like how firearms, when devoid of bullets and propellants, were hardly different from torches, and an unloaded gun would have probably even been less useful than torches.

It was just like how the monster that was the Luo Clan, which had the stunning lineage in the form of the Taichu Path, had to yield to reality all the same and train slowly, just like everyone else.

Even someone as powerful as Lu Xuan paled in terms of rate of progress in the early stages of cultivation in his current life, despite being apart to start anew and carve his way to greatness. He relied on his shocking cultivation level in his past life, which enabled him to bend fate and even formulate ways to gather Spiritual Qi.

Lu Xuan resented those people even more, due to having known about the Soul-snatcher Sect. Everyone from the sect reeked of the stench of decay and death to him.

Making women into host vessels meant that those people did not see the women as people, to begin with.

Lu Xuan had even seen many harrowing things about the sect when he went on to annihilate the entire sect personally in his past life. Many women were kept in cages like livestock, who served as sex toys to the disciples of the sect. The women would then be made into vessels for breeding bugs for curses when they were no longer useful.

The expression of the two became glum when they heard what Lu Xuan said.

“Who the hell do you think you are!?” That man with sharp features got angry immediately and burst at Lu Xuan like an arrow at the very next second. He held a dagger in his hand, which he thrust straight at Lu Xuan.

The smirk on his face was a ferocious one. It was as if he had already seen Lu Xuan being gutted by the dagger.

However, that man grunted at the very next moment. He was sent flying and spitting blood. The dagger dropped at his side before he knew what was happening.

“Who’s doing this?” That nimble crone scanned around with her eyes.

“You dare to act against the young master! I’ll end you right here!”

The crone then only saw that the one who acted was someone who looked like a middle-aged man. He looked lithe and plain-looking.

“A Mental Awakened!”

The crone immediately knew what was happening. She had seen enough battles to know that there was an Awakened one in the southwest capable of making a move undetected.

Many had fallen to such mental attacks before they were aware of what was happening.

However, despite their prowess, such Mental Awakened were not able to take down those from the sect so easily. Despite not having trained explicitly in such mental powers, the mental strength of cultivators was far above that of common folk to begin with, which meant that such attacks would not have so easily hit them.
