Chapter 160 - Shaking the World (1/2)
“That is indeed what I mean,” Ming Yueyao said.
The corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth twitched. He had to admit that he found Ming Yueyao’s thoughts to be… quite childish.
From her perspective, the Deity level beings in all those organizations and sects must have made it to Invincible Vajra level, and they would surely all join forces with the Special Task Force to take out the monster kings for the greater good of humanity.
However, Lu Xuan knew better than anyone that all those organizations and sects had their own agendas.
There were actually quite a good number of people who probably saw the Special Task Force as public enemy number one. As for those monster kings, they did not care about how strong those beasts had become, for the monster kings were but supreme beings in certain regions.
That was probably what some people wanted to see: a messy era where warlords carved out their own territories. It could become a time for them to make something for themselves.
Lu Xuan knew the objectives and missions behind the existence of many such organizations, and they were doing what they did to facilitate the emergence of sects that had long hidden from the world.
Lu Xuan arrived at the Yunxuan Villa outside Fu City, and before long he saw his family members training diligently amidst the flowing waters and lush gardens.
The Lu family’s desire to train had taken a considerable leap after so much had happened.
What surprised Lu Xuan was that he was not the only one who’d achieved great progress the previous night, as everyone else had made considerable progress, too. His mother, Liu Wanrong, had been waiting for an opportunity to make a breakthrough, thus she had been able to make a breakthrough into Level Eight Deity without any problems.
Considering their current rate of progress taken into consideration, breaking through into Level Nine and becoming an Invincible Vajra was only a matter of time.
As for the others, Lu Shanshan was the one who’d made the greatest progress, as she had been able to make a breakthrough into National Guardian level right away. She was currently practicing her arts on the training ground, and she had a serious look on her face.
All the others made some progress as well, but theirs was nowhere near as significant as hers.
Everyone gathered around when they saw Lu Xuan return. They had been cultivating in isolation throughout the night as well, heeding Lu Xuan’s advice and giving it their all to make breakthroughs.
They had only realized something so huge had happened in the world, so much so that it had shaken the whole country, once they’d emerged from isolation.
“Bwudder, there’s so many big monsters out there, couldn’t we just round them up and make a zoo?” Lu Guoguo said, hanging onto Lu Xuan like a sloth.
Everyone laughed when they heard Lu Guoguo’s innocent words, thinking just how pure and innocent she was.
“Alright, I’ll catch one and make it give you a piggyback ride, okay?” Lu Xuan ruffled her hair for a moment.
“Okay. Don’t go back on your word, or I’ll keep a notebook and bully you when you get old!” Lu Guoguo looked serious when she said that, and it sounded rather logical and convincing.
Lu Xuan pinched her cheek gently and said, “Oh man, you think you’re the big boss already, don’t you? Who taught you all that?”
“Bro, those monsters sure look scary. Are they going to become demons or something?” Lu Shanshan recalled the videos she’d watched, all of which had sent chills down her spine.
“Son, I’ve seen people on the net saying that the White Ape King has been running and has killed nearly ten thousand people. I assume that’s true, right?” Lu Tianxiang said.
The thousands of deaths caused by the White Ape King had spread all over the internet while Lu Xuan was on his way home.
The death count was too horrific, and too many people had seen it happen. There was just no covering up the news.
All manner of news and videos had flooded the internet.
There had been many villages that were torn down and massacred altogether, leaving them looking like purgatory on Earth.
The world was shaken to the core.
The entire internet was raging about the news.
Kill that thing and avenge our dead!
