Chapter 305 - Thousands Arriving at the Heavenly Palace (2/2)

Lu Xuan felt rather puzzled, wondering what the crone had to do with the Inner Palace. Even if the crone was bold enough to come for him personally, the Inner Palace should not have been so alarmed.

The Dragon then elaborated further, “After she failed to get what she was after at the Heavenly Palace, she invaded the prison built to lock up cultivators and took a bunch of the prisoners with her.”

Lu Xuan was rendered speechless by what the crone just pulled.

What? Does she really think that a modern-day government is like those authorities back in feudal times? he wondered.

That those cultivators didn’t run because someone was watching them?

The true reason why those cultivators were willing to stay back in that jail was that the central government is just that intimidating, alright.

What that crone did at the moment had broken not only the balance but also challenged the central government.

“Those in charge in the Taichu Group all went to the capital city, intending to explain why the crone did what she did, but I don’t think any of that will do any good. The Taichu Group was established by the Taichu Path. Those people are but lackeys of the Taichu Path. There is just no way they can put a leash on the crone,” the Dragon shook his head and continued.

The Dragon knew a lot there was to know about the inner workings of the Taichu Group, which included what was truly happening within their inner circle. While it was not like he knew everything, he knew enough to tell a lot.

That was precisely why he knew that those in charge of the Taichu Group would not be able to keep the crone in check.

What the crone pulled was so tremendously frightening that everyone in modern society thought her to be insane. However, the crone hailed from several hundred years ago. None of those haughty, aloof cultivators back in that era would have thought much about the government authorities.

“I don’t care about her reasons. She did what she did, and that is all that matters. She definitely cannot be forgiven!” the Dragon shouted.

“No need to say much. Her days are numbered anyway.”

Lu Xuan saw the surveillance footage recorded by the Heavenly Palace base, and he was naturally able to recognize that crone.

He fought that crone back in his past life before, and he did so more than once.

He knew that crone all too well. She was a granny who served by the side of Yan Han, one of his archenemies back in his past life.

He deemed that her powers should have been far above that of the Airborne Realm, but he quickly speculated that she got rid of part of her powers when she appeared on the planet.

But still, he deemed that her powers should be far above that of common Airborne Realm beings nonetheless.

He speculated that her powers would not pale in comparison to that master he encountered back in Longhu Mountain.

Lu Xuan had his people sent word out right away that he would be at the Heavenly Palace holding the fort personally, waiting just for the crone to show up so that he could settle things between them once and for all.

That act sent the world into a huge commotion right away.

To everyone’s knowledge, there were currently only two Airborne Realm beings throughout the entire world, and those two were about to fight in earnest. One could imagine just how much of a commotion such news would cause.

Fighters of various forces flocked to the base at a frightening speed.

Zhang Fashan, back in Longhu Mountain, heard of that news before. He sighed before taking Zhang Ao with him to the Heavenly Palace.

Back in Maoshan Mountains, the sectmaster of the Maoshan Sect, who was spared by the government after making a deal with the authorities, rushed to the Heavenly Palace as well.

High-ranking monks dressed in simple clothing in the Shaolin Temple packed up and headed to the capital city at the same time.

Jingyunzi, the sectmaster of the WuTang Clan back in WuTang Mountain, heard of the news.

“I shall send my people to back Mr. Lu up.”

Everyone in the clan remembered very well that it was Lu Xuan who saved their clan over a year ago, and it was a favor that they had to see returned.

Those from the WuTang Clan arrived outside of the Heavenly Palace base just half a day later.

…

Representatives from one renowned cultivation force after another arrived at the base.
