Chapter 108 - Formidable Ones of the Southwest (1/2)
Forces with National Guardians holding the fort and the other forces were of totally different orders of magnitude.
The Min Province was never a strong province when it came to cultivation. There were no other noteworthy cultivator forces to speak of other than the Southern Shaolin Temple.
Be it the Chen Clan or the Seven Invincible Sect, they were not even a Martial Arts Legend among them, at the moment.
Their claims of wanting to reign supreme all over the province were little more than boasts since there was no one else bothering to put them in their place.
If the Soul-snatcher Sect were to actually invade, those two forces would have crumbled right away. Until the Special Task Force mobilized formidable fighters from the headquarters, there would be no way for them to win against that sect.
If something like that were to indeed happen, then things would undoubtedly be difficult for the Special Task Forces of the Min Province from then on out.
But then again, despite Yun Sheng’s best efforts in making Lu Xuan as huge as he was able to, he still ended up underestimating what Lu Xuan was capable of.
That young man had been more than just a National Guardian.
One National Guardian alone would be enough to throw their weight all over the world of cultivators in the province, yet Lu Xuan’s powers were above even that. He was quite literally invincible in all of the region.
But then again, how powerful Lu Xuan was hardly mattered to Yun Sheng personally. Be it at the National Guardian level or above, he still would have been able to end Yun Sheng with just a single move all the same.
A being like Lu Xuan was like a stabilizer that put the entire world of cultivation in the province into order. Despite not having taken up the position of consultant of the Fu City branch for long, he had already wrecked the schemes of the Flying Dragon Sect and the Soul-snatcher Sect to invade the Min Province.
It was especially so, given how Lu Xuan was apparently on the side of the Special Task Force. They could not have asked for anything better.
“And this would be?” Yun Sheng pulled back his thoughts and took a look at Shi Danze, who stood at Ling Huang’s side.
He sensed an extremely great threat from Shi Danze.
His current cultivation level meant that there was only one possibility when that other man posed a threat to him—that man was a Martial Arts Legend as well.
He was rather puzzled since when there was yet another such figure in the province.
Such figures would have usually been found among the Special Task Force’s records.
“This is Mr. Shi Danze, a follower of Mr. Lu,” Ling Huang introduced the man.
“A follower of Mr. Lu!”
Yun Sheng then thought the situation was rather normal after hearing that the man was connected to Lu Xuan somehow.
Lu Xuan’s cultivation level was such that it was entirely within reason to have someone like that serving him.
He saw it fit not to probe any further, seeing how that man was related to Lu Xuan.
Someone who looked quite capable walked up to them and took a look at the place.
“Chief.” The staff from the Special Task Force, who were cleaning up the site, all bowed and paid their respects.
“Chief.” Yun Sheng and the Square-faced Fatso greeted her as well.
She was none other than Ming Yueyao—the Provincial Chief of the Min Province’s Special Task Force.
“President Ling, I’m the Chief of the Min Province’s Special Task Force, Ming Yueyao,” Ming Yueyao went up and greeted him.
“Chief Ming, well met. Well met indeed,” Ling Huang greeted her in return.
Ming Yueyao took the report from the fatso right away after greeting Ling Huang.
When she saw three National Guardians and several Martial Arts Legends listed among the body count, as well as a great number of Baodan Grandmasters and HuaJin Masters, her eyebrows raised in utter shock.
