Chapter 195 - Stuff of Legends (1/2)

What did it mean to become a legend?

The answer was right before their eyes.

He was a legend through and through.

No one expected Lu Xuan to be capable of going that far.

Be it annihilating the entire Soul-snatcher Sect or eliminating the Qiu Clan, those feats were known only to a handful, and those incidents had been far less serious and far less known than what just happened.

There were simply too many guests at the Luo Clan, so much so that one could even say that every single respect-worthy cultivation force had a representative at the event.

Even if there were to be individual guests who were not all that much of a big deal on their own, they were, nonetheless, representatives of something a lot bigger.

As such, Lu Xuan had truly risen to fame from fighting just one battle.

Everyone saw just how easily he had disposed of those Invincible Vajras he fought, making him truly undefeatable.

All those other Invincible Vajras did not stand a chance against him, to begin with.

So long as Lu Xuan was willing to get serious, none of them would ever be able to fight him.

The difference in fighting prowess was just too glaringly apparent.

If that were called less than legendary, one would have to wonder what the word “legendary” was supposed to mean.

“He truly is the number one in the world as it stands.”

Many wanted to rally Lu Xuan to their side as the news spread further and further away, especially when it became clear that Lu Xuan had no intention of establishing his own force. He had done little more than build his own villa, which, in the eyes of all the other cultivation forces, was hardly even worth mentioning.

His influence was still limited to that of a very capable lone cultivator, even though he was the de-facto person in charge of all the underworld forces found throughout Min Province.

The importance of and threats posed by those gangsters were dismissed by many. While they might look powerful, even the police would be able to take them all out if the authorities saw it fit to do so.

The forces serving Lu Xuan was hardly seen to be of any importance. There were many lone cultivators who were actually in charge of many criminal organizations, after all.

The only being that all the other forces were wary of was none other than Lu Xuan himself.

He alone would be able to take on an army in the thousands.

The Luo Clan was a cultivation force that gave even the government authorities headache. While it was not to say that the government was not able to take them down, doing so would mean taking on all the other affiliated cultivation forces. This would practically spiral out of control, making it look like the government was against the cultivators as a whole.

Taking on the Luo Clan would have evoked retaliation from the other cultivation forces if it was the government doing it.

However, things were different in the case of Lu Xuan. Regardless of who he took on, it would all be regarded as affairs taking place between cultivators. Anybody who was around to witness what he did would only be astonished by his level of powers, without fear for any serious retaliation thrown against him.

There were also, without doubt, rumors circulating on the dark web.

All those rumors talked about how Lu Xuan’s presence served as a huge threat to all the other forces. All the other Invincible Vajras would have kept each other in check. Even if there were to be skirmishes breaking out between them, it would not have been serious enough to cause fatal incidents.

Lu Xuan was a different story altogether. Due to him being too overly powerful, he was someone deemed capable of posing a lethal threat to all the other forces.

It was a line of thought shared by a good number of people without doubt. However, those remained rumors circulating in the dark, and no one dared to say anything out loud in the open.

The Soul-snatcher Sect, the Qiu Clan, and the Luo Clan were made examples of, after all.

All that precedence was a testament saying that Lu Xuan was anything but merciful.

Lu Xuan did not stay behind as things seemingly had gotten increasingly out of hand. He returned to the Yunxuan Villa right away. His gain from that battle was limited, but at the very least, he was able to get rid of a serious threat.

The Luo Clan would not have posed much of a threat to himself, but the threat they posed to his family was undeniable.
