Chapter 102 - Waiting in isolation (1/2)

Lu Xuan killed without any hesitation or remorse.

He knew very well what the members of the Soul-snatcher Sect were like, and nobody with a conscience would be able to survive being in that sect for long.

The hands of those people were soaked with the blood of countless innocent people.

That man with sharp features was shaken to the core, seeing how Lu Xuan killed without showing any mercy, fearing that he would be next.

However, he was unable to run at that moment, even if he wanted to, as he was completely pinned down by Lu Xuan’s might.

But then again, he was overjoyed to hear what Lu Xuan said next: “Get lost.”

That man scrambled out of the place at once after Lu Xuan granted permission for him to leave.

He disappeared without a trace before long.

“Mr. Lu, sparing him is like sparing a tiger. He’ll definitely let those of the sect know what happened here!” Ling Huang rushed from the second floor and said frantically.

He was very, very concerned, as what Lu Xuan did simply allowed trouble to come back at a later date.

“No need to fret, President Ling. Do you think no one in the sect knows that they were here in the first place?” Lu Xuan said nonchalantly.

Ling Huang only recalled that all three who had been there had not come in secret. If the sect were to look into it, it would only be a matter of time before they linked all that happened to Ling Huang and Lu Xuan.

“As such, it’s only a matter of time before they come knocking on our doors. You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t be on guard for a thousand days. I don’t mind at all if they decide not to show up, but your family will have to live with their threat looming over their head at all times by then,” Lu Xuan said plainly.

“There is someone in the sect who is a Level Seven National Guardian. If someone like that were to come after you, you could run to heaven or hell, and you bet they’d be on your tail still.”

Ling Huang was dumbfounded after hearing Lu Xuan say that there were such figures in the sect. He was no longer someone who knew nothing of the cultivators like he had been before, after all.

He went through his own channels to find out more about the cultivators and the systems on his own, learning that Level Six Martial Arts Legends were more than capable of reigning supreme over a region.

It was just like how it was with Qiu Qianying, who would have been able to kill every single person in the Ling Clan if he so fancied.

That fact was even more pronounced with the case of the National Guardians. Those were people that even nations had to woo over. If such people intended to kill every single person in the Ling Clan, there would be little else for them to do but to surrender before their eventual doom.

That was how overbearing the cultivators were.

In some third world countries, National Guardians could easily overthrow regimes single-handedly, so much so that they could make themselves kings if they wanted to.

If people of such caliber were to be after him, then it would have been just like how Lu Xuan put it—he could run to heaven or hell, but he’d be a piece of meat on a chopping board all the same.

“So, the best way to deal with this is to get to the source of things,” Lu Xuan added.

“I deliberately showed them what I was capable of and let that guy report back. The sect will then know that I’m at Level Seven, and if they try to take me on, they will have had to rally the elites in all of the sect. I will then have them surrounded and dealt with in one go.”

There was a cold glint seen in his eyes as he spoke.

Shi Danze, who had been recuperating at the sides, almost fell out of his chair when he heard Lu Xuan say something about one person surrounding a whole group of people. That sounded really off.

But then again, it seemed to make sense, nonetheless, since that one in question was Lu Xuan.

Although Ling Huang was reassured by Lu Xuan and knew that the young man was making sense, he still was concerned. “Will you be able to take them on alone, given now that you know they have a National Guardian among them? How about I hire someone from the dark web? I’m certainly don’t believe that I won’t be able to hire someone if I’m to be willing to pay 100 million yuan. Hell, maybe one billion or ten billion! I’m sure we could definitely get a National Guardian on our side!”

Ling Huang was very pissed as well. He was still a somebody in Southern Min after all, yet, at the moment, someone just kicked down his door and treated him as if he was little more than an ant.
