Chapter 139 - The Song Clan Has a Death Wish (2/2)

Yun Sheng felt himself a very lucky man for having chosen to rally Lu Xuan to the side of the Special Task Force as soon as the opportunity to do so presented itself. Otherwise, they would have just earned themselves a terrifying target to put on their watchlist.

“What are you guys sitting here for? Get our men to cordon off the area and clean the place up. We can’t let any of this get out.” Yun Sheng made his decision after pausing in awe for just a moment.

Lu Xuan returned home in the evening. However, things were different than he expected, as his place turned out to be a huge mess.

Someone had evidently attacked the manor as well.

“The Song Clan really does have a death wish, then.”

Lu Xuan gritted his teeth. His eyes burst with a terrifying glow.

He knew with complete certainty that someone from the Song Clan had attacked the manor when he was out fighting against Song Lingfeng.

Two National Guardian level fighters had brought a group of fighters to assault his place.

A great battle had taken place in his manor.

It was a battle that no one had expected to break out. The clan’s two fighters never expected that Lu Xuan had set up barriers at the manor, and the barriers prevented them from being able to infiltrate the place for quite a while.

What exceeded their expectations even more was the fact that the place was guarded by a National Guardian, one who was just as powerful as they were.

The two sides clashed, and a great battle broke out. The battle raged on until the Special Task Force caught wind of it, deploying someone to the scene and eventually scaring off the attackers from the Song Clan.

The Song Clan never expected Lu Xuan to have set up such defensive measures back home, and they certainly had not expected that there would actually be a National Guardian tasked with his family’s protection.

They were unable to achieve their goal in that battle.

Zhang Hongyang ended up grievously injured, too. Despite the fact that he was a National Guardian as well, he was nonetheless caught in a pincer attack between two fighters at his level. The disadvantage was severe enough that he ended up getting seriously hurt in the fight.

If it hadn’t been for the representatives from the Special Task Force showing up just in time, Zhang Hongyang would have probably died in that battle.

The two disciples of Zhang Hongyang suffered injuries all over as well.

Lu Xuan’s family was even caught up in the battle. Lu Shanshan’s arm was injured, and she was being treated in the hospital.

It was a good thing that his family members had all became sufficiently trained by this point, so much so that they were able to fight back despite being ambushed by the elite fighters of the Song Clan.

Although they were able to repel the invaders from the Song Clan eventually, Lu Xuan was still left severely shaken.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. Our security measures have been lacking.” Ming Yueyao, the provincial chief of the Min Province Special Task Force, apologized as soon as she got to the manor.

She had acquired firsthand information about that fight on the mountain while she was on her way. She even managed to acquire video footage.

The frightening combat prowess demonstrated by Lu Xuan was so unimaginable that it was something rarely seen even among Deity-level cultivators.

Although she was a National Guardian level cultivator, Ming Yueyao had to admit that she was beneath them.

In truth, if it weren’t for the behemoth that was the Special Task Force backing her up, she would not even have the right to stand before Lu Xuan.

Level difference among cultivators was a clear-cut thing. The power difference between beings just a single level apart was like the difference between heaven and earth, and that extended to their social status as well.

“It’s fine. Can’t say that you guys are the ones at fault in the first place,” Lu Xuan answered plainly. At the end of the day, he had more faith in the intimidation factor posed by the Special Task Force than the agency’s actual capabilities.

The Special Task Force had only one National Guardian level officer stationed in the entirety of Min Province, so it was absurd to have both Ming Yueyao and Zhang Hongyang stay at the manor to serve him at all times.

“One way or another, this is indeed our fault.” She shook her head and continued, “I didn’t expect your subordinate to be a National Guardian, by the way.”
