Chapter 129 - Crippling Song Shijie (1/2)

Everyone was stunned right away. Song Shijie proposed that he, as a representative from the Holy Dragon Corporation, was to form an alliance uniting all the forces of Min Province. While the alliance was said to be formed for the sake of uniting all the forces within the province, there was no doubt it was actually meant to put all forces under the rule of the Holy Dragon Corporation.

Lu Xuan mentioned that right there and then, and it was obvious that he intended to reign over the powers found throughout the entire Min Province as well.

Two parties intended to do so, with one being a foreign behemoth and the other being the local giant.

The fundamental nature of such an alliance remained unchanged.

The cultivators of the province remained a scattered bunch when a representative from the Holy Dragon Corporation crashed the gate, making them all easy to put down due to not having a leader that could have ruled them all.

Over half of those present were compelled to kneel before the corporation as soon as Song Shijie made his proposal. With the exception of a handful of people, the ones who had yet to yield were already thinking of yielding, and it was only a matter of time before they yielded anyway.

That was because not only did the corporation being of great influence in all walks of life, but that the corporation also packed the level of firepower that all of them sorely lack. Therefore, the corporation had all they needed to make all who were present yield.

All who remained adamant in their resistance would be finished off on the spot.

There was then, finally, someone from the province who was capable of standing up against such a giant. In comparison to the Holy Dragon Corporation, Lu Xuan did undoubtedly felt to be the better choice.

Lu Xuan, despite his formidable, overwhelming powers, was but one man, which meant that he would not have been able to actually meddle in their affairs. The alliance would have been a loose one.

If the corporation were to be the boss of them instead, it would have been akin to having a noose around their neck at all times, making it difficult to go about their respective businesses.

The only thing that the crowd was unsure of was if Lu Xuan was capable of holding his own against the Holy Dragon Corporation’s retaliation.

“I’m all for it!”

Ling Huang took Ling Fei along and stood by Lu Xuan’s side, not long after Lu Xuan made the proposal.

Many who had been unable to pick their sides in time went to Lu Xuan’s side.

There were even many who had initially chosen to side with Song Shijie switching sides, backing Lu Xuan instead.

The way Lu Xuan killed Wen Ziteng had driven quite a shock into their minds, after all.

That one attack made them realize thoroughly just how powerful he truly was.

“You all… so that’s how you want to play it!”

Song Shijie was extremely frustrated. He had organized the event to declare his intentions and have a bunch of rich people back him up, yet all of his efforts ended up working in Lu Xuan’s favor instead.

Song Shijie’s expression was quite complex. He truly felt betrayed at the moment, even though those people around him had only yielded due to his overwhelming show of power. Still, seeing them flooding to Lu Xuan’s side made him feel extremely defeated nonetheless.

“Just you wait, all of you! You all shall pay for the humiliation I have suffered today! None of you will get away with this!”

Song Shijie turned around and walked away in frustration and anger. There was no point in him staying around, and he would have only been insulted further.

“Hold on for a minute!” Lu Xuan said all of a sudden.

“What more do you want?”

Lu Xuan stood up and said, “I did say I’m a fair person earlier. You crippled one of my men, and now I shall cripple you. That will make us even.”

Song Shijie froze as soon as he heard that. He shouted with a croaked voice, “You dare!”

It was the first time fear was truly seen in his eyes. He dared to step on Lu Xuan because he was confident of the powers behind him—the Holy Dragon Corporation. He had no fear whatsoever, even if the one he had to face off with was the newly crowned number one in the province.

The name of the corporation that he wore so proudly on his sleeve enabled him to do anything he pleased, and that boosted his ego too much.

It was only right there and then that he truly felt fear.

Lin Miaoyi, who was by Lu Xuan’s side, felt that Song Shijie was simply too much of a fool for thinking that the repute and renown of the corporation were still of any use to him now.
