Chapter 115 - If There is a Next Time, End Your Own Life (1/2)

As Qiu Zhen had been at a clear disadvantage since the start of their big fight, many of the onlookers already anticipated he would lose, and it was not something too unbelievable.

However, when the Soul-snatcher Sect was really pronounced to be eliminated, everyone was stunned!

To put it more precisely, they were scared stiff!

One man had destroyed an entire sect!

It was not something unheard of for them, as they themselves were capable of doing so. However, the sects that were eliminated were all small-scale sects, maybe with a total of around a dozen people, or more in extreme cases, but that was the gist of it.

The Soul-snatcher Sect was a whole different story. They were one of the superpowers that tyrannized the Xinan region, and even though they could not claim to be the overlords of Xinan, they could be considered the dominant force in the Dian Province.

The number of factions in the entire Xinan that were comparable in strength could be counted on the fingers of one’s hands.

And now, it had been eliminated by a single individual!

To the heroes of Xinan, this was unquestionably, definitely. It was like a fantasy to them. It was a story completely fit to be a legend.

However, at this moment, the legend was presented in front of them, and the fantasy had been realized.

There was nothing more ridiculous than this.

For one man to eliminate their entire sect was not an impossible task but within the realm of possibility!

Any kind of public outrage to a master of his level was inconsequential unless they could bring the power of the government to bear against Lu Xuan.

Though they had connections in the political and financial sectors, and even some influence in the military, they had to face a cruel reality.

That Lu Xuan was a part of the Agency of Special Affairs and was one of their closest allies.

It was apparent who was more favored between them and Lu Xuan.

Without a doubt, if the Huaxia government was forced to take sides, compared to them, the government would choose to back Lu Xuan.

Moreover, they knew that even if they did not personally have a hand in it, there were more than a few disciples in their sects who were doing things that were improper.

The officials were too busy dealing with the big picture to handle these small cases, but no matter how you cut it, they had long been displeased by these happenings!

In the past, the government needed their help to fight off foreign Cultivators, so they were willing to turn a blind eye to their offenses. Since the institution of the Agency of Special Affairs, the government had a private force under their direct command and naturally grew more dissatisfied with these factions who were frequently causing trouble.

Although they thought the Soul-snatcher Sect’s day-to-day tyranny was disagreeable, at this moment, the onlookers felt mournful, like they had lost a compatriot.

They did not like the Soul-snatcher Sect throwing their weight around, but they were more unwilling to face the even more powerful Agency of Special Affairs.

Still, after a long round of thinking, they realized that there was actually nothing they could do against Lu Xuan.

Their own martial arts prowess would be useless against Lu Xuan, and even if they used firearms, it probably would not even inconvenience him. It was clear from the way he had cut through a rocket from a rocket launcher with his sword.

Compared to a National Guardian level, there was a huge increase in strength when one became a Divine level master. It was so big they could not be compared on the same scales.

Their personal martial arts ability had progressed to a stage that was difficult to even imagine!

Even so, this was something the onlookers were glad to accept. Based on the speed at which the world was reviving, they would eventually advance to the Divine level, and it would probably not take a long time for them. When that happened, they would have all the abilities that Lu Xuan had displayed today.

Lu Xuan was just one step ahead of them in this.

It was a golden age for Cultivators, and thousands were in competition to be the greatest. Lu Xuan’s power made them slightly fearful, but at the same time, it also gave them a glimpse of the future.
