Chapter 294 - Shocking the World of Cultivators (1/2)

It was a restless night.

All forces in the world of cultivation paid all of their attention to the three battlefields within the capital city.

“We lost. There’s no more hope to turn things around.”

Some sighed in distress deep down.

“It’s the Huaxian government’s turn to retaliate now.”

“It’s hard to imagine how we still failed after amassing that much power into the operation.”

“The biggest variable at play is none other than Lu Xuan. He seems to be the one who turns everything around almost entirely on his own.”

The respective forces got firsthand information on the state of affairs as soon as possible.

They thought they stood a huge chance at succeeding in that operation they pulled.

The only thing they did not expect was that Lu Xuan was in it.

He did more than just killing every single one of the cultivators who attacked the Heavenly Palace.

He even went on to turn things around for the Special Task Force, cutting down the undead king that the Maoshan Taoist Sect that been sealing for ages.

That undead king, who boasted power comparable to that of Airborne Realm beings, had been unable to bring its supposed might to bear in that battle.

In the current era, having command of an undead king whose powers were at Airborne Realm was equivalent to having access to nuclear weapons.

Yet, that nuclear weapon was unable to be truly put to use before it was destroyed altogether.

“He is already at Airborne Realm. There’s no doubt about it.”

The cultivation forces all became silent when they heard the news.

Lu Xuan had already been a Celestial Realm being about a year ago, enabling him to overwhelm all of his peers back then.

What he had achieved at the moment practically left all of them in the dust without a doubt.

Just how did he manage to reach the Airborne Realm at an era like this? That was a question that popped up in everyone’s mind, and nobody was able to come up with an answer.

Things would have been easy to explain if Lu Xuan was actually some ancient monster, as that simply meant that he was recovering his original supposed level of powers. However, Lu Xuan was breaking through the limits through sheer brute force.

Having one such nigh-invincible being looming above everyone’s heads was probably something that any would find puzzling.

The fighters from cultivation forces that served the Huaxian government went to work after settling the mess in the capital city, to arrest those responsible.

There were still many such people who fled, and it was time for a nationwide manhunt.

The Twelve Military Governors of the Heavenly Palace made themselves known to the public under such circumstances.

12 very formidable Celestial Realm fighters were out to hunt down the fugitives throughout the country.

Any case that required the 12 of them to mobilize personally would involve any but the ordinary. There was no doubt that their targets were Celestial Realm beings as well.

That time around, however, no one would come to think that their base at the Heavenly Palace was an empty nest without the 12 of them holding down the fort.

That place would remain a divine mountain without a disastrous monster in it, so long as Lu Xuan remained in charge of things from there.

At the foot of the mountain where the Maoshan Sect was, a group of people dressed for combat descended from jeeps and surrounded the sec’s gates.

The receptionist disciples put up an act of being calm and collected, looking at those people before them and asked, “Who are you people? This is Maoshan Mountain. Are you people going to act like you own this place?”

The leading young man of the opposing group, who was tall and imposing, smirked and replied, “I’m Duan Shan, a military governor of the Heavenly Palace. I’m here today at Maoshan Sect to take those who are responsible.”

“How insolent!” the receptionist disciple shouted in fury.
