Chapter 295 - Keeping Things under Control (1/2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There were just too many parties involved in all that ruckus, so much so that even the Huaxian government had to be wary of things when dealing with them.

That was hardly all the cultivators brought to bear, after all.

In truth, despite the scale at which the assault at the capital city was carried out last night, it was but the tip of the iceberg, in terms of the level of powers the world of cultivation had access to.

It was basically just their way of testing the waters, as well as a way of issuing a warning.

If everything went as planned, that would have been more than enough to make the government fully acknowledge their stance and powers in the matter, which would have then made the government slow down with the cultivation propagation effort.

Even the cultivators siding with the government dared not take on the wrath of the cultivators as a whole, after all.

However, nobody actually expected Lu Xuan to be able to crush such a resistance completely, and almost single-handedly.

The way things transpired was akin to a sun rising in the middle of the night. The force Lu Xuan brought was so overwhelming that it was felt even thousands of miles away.

The Maoshan Sect had no intention of revolting outright against the government as well. The location of the sect was revered as a Taoist sacred ground for ages, and that was something made possible due to the reigning regimes of the past backing them.

The current government was deemed over 1,000 times more terrifying than the past feudal regimes that came before it. It was a government that commanded powers that were over 1,0000 times more terrifying than those of past ages.

Despite the Maoshan Sect’s formidable strength, they could have been crushed effortlessly if they were to actually lock horns outright with such a monster of an organization.

The Maoshan Sect dared not gamble with the lifeblood of their sect despite their dissatisfaction.

That was why the sect excommunicated those two before they did what they did.

It was all so to prevent something like what was happening at the moment, from crushing the sect.

The precaution had been a wise move.

But still, all from the sect nonetheless felt very irked at the way things turned out for them.

The sect master suppressed his displeasure through sheer force of will and said, “So long as the government had no intentions of exterminating the cultivators en masse, we won’t have anything to worry about our Taoist heritage. That is the fate of those who lost.”

“What could the government do if I insist on killing that punk then?” One of the elders asked angrily.

“Killing him would be easy,” the sect master answered.

“But could you stop the man behind him—the man called Lu Xuan?”

What the sect master just said silenced that elder immediately.

In truth, the Heavenly Palace was hardly worth mentioning in the eyes of those from the Maoshan Sect.

If the backing of the reigning government was taken out of the equation, the entire Heavenly Palace was incapable of taking on the full brunt of the Maoshan Sect’s fighting forces.

However, despite being furious over Duan Shan’s brazen attitude at gatecrashing their territory, yet they were unable to do anything about it.

It was all because Lu Xuan was right behind those people gatecrashing their place.

Lu Xuan’s powers alone made it so that even if the entire Maoshan Sect were to take him on with all they got, all of them would have ended up killed. They had no chance of coming out on top whatsoever.

Judging from how Lu Xuan went about his affairs for the past several years, made them realize that it was extremely likely that he would just go about annihilating a whole sect and clan yet again.

The government might be wary of their heritage and the influence they commanded.

However, Lu Xuan was concerned with none of those, and that was what made them feel most exasperated over. They were unable to take him on in a fight, and the man had no care for the influence of the sect.

Under such circumstances, the only they could do was to keep smiling, despite being extremely pissed deep down.

“Send men and inform the Celestial Master Taoist. He is the only person, at the moment, who is capable of saving us all.”

The sect master ordered his men to fetch a command token and leave the mountain through the rear.

Duan Shan came all the way to the great hall of the sect before long. He said, “Alright, people, get moving.”

The entire sect was taken away by those from the Heavenly Palace, and the sect was sealed off. The news detonated like a grenade among the cultivators almost instantly.

The Maoshan Sect is sealed off? But why?

Did the sect do anything that got on the bad side of the authorities?

I’m just about to go up to the Maoshan Sect and train, man! And now you’re telling the place is sealed off?
