Chapter 311 - Making Enemies with the World, So What? (2/2)

A fighter from the Heavenly Palace commented.

“I’d say so myself. There’s just no one able to fight someone like him. Not just in the country, I don’t think anyone even overseas would be able to fight against him.”

Compared to those from Huaxia, the stress and pressure the foreign cultivators felt were even more severe.

Lu Xuan won, but more importantly, he, who was a representative of the government, won.

There was no doubt that the Huaxian government would be even more powerful than before, given that they then had one such unmatched fighter taking charge of things.

It was the scene of Huaxian cultivators dominating everyone back several hundred years ago, coming to life before their eyes yet again.

There had been a time when Huaxian cultivators had been dominating the far east for millennia. One could even say that the cultivation methods originating from the far east, could have their origins traced back to Huaxia one way or another.

However, after Liu Bowen severed the Dragon’s Vein hundreds of years ago, the Huaxian cultivator withered at breakneck speeds as well, which caused all the others outside of Huaxia forget what it had been like when they were dominated.

As Lu Xuan rose to prominence, all of them recalled the terror from the time when they had once been dominated.

Lu Xuan killed both the crone and one of his most troublesome loose ends—Luo Ying, and he felt that he was finally able to rest easy.

But then again, he knew that said respite would be short-lived.

He knew well that as time passed, the time where those from the sects and clans that isolated themselves from the world, grew close.

Everyone went their separate ways before long, with only Celestial Master Zhang Fashan remaining behind.

“Congratulations, Mr. Lu, for yet again putting your might in full display before the world.”

Zhang Fashan cupped his hands and said.

“Put my might in full display before the world?” Lu Xuan wore a faint smile and continued, “I bet someone would just see me as a thorn at their sides, after what I’ve just pulled.”

Zhang Fashan grinned and said, “Hehe, well, that’s how it is, but I assume that none of that would matter to you, no?”

Lu Xuan nodded and added, “Who cares if they don’t like what they see, eh?”

He knew that what he did would definitely make many list him as enemy number one. Most people would definitely think of ways to just lay low, if they were in his shoes, feeling like they were glaring nails sticking out ready to be hammered.

However, he cared for none of that. While it was true that nails that stuck out would be hammered, there was still the question of the strength of said nails and hammers.

“Other than to congratulate you on your achievement, I’m staying behind for yet another matter, Mr. Lu. I’d like that failure of a grandson of mine, Zhang Ao, to join the Heavenly Palace.”

Zhang Fashan said as he looked at Lu Xuan seriously.

“Grandpa…” Zhang Ao never expected Zhang Fashan to make such a request, and the old man had never said anything to him about it before.

What puzzled Zhang Ao even more was that he hailed from the Celestial Master Taoist Sect of the Longhu Mountain, which was a renowned sect on its own. There was utterly no need for him to the Heavenly Palace at all.

It was especially so given that he was first in the line of succession among the disciples, despite how unsightly he looked and behaved when he got intimidated by Lu Xuan back then.

However, that had nothing to do with him being weak; it was just that Lu Xuan was too powerful. In truth, he was the number one among all his peers in the sect, which naturally made him one of the most formidable among the younger generation of cultivators.

The Celestial Master Taoist Sect naturally had their ways of nurturing their disciples, and there was just no need for any to study under someone else.

What Zhang Fashan was doing at that moment—getting Zhang Ao to join the ranks of the Heavenly Palace—was tantamount to siding with the government, which in turn meant making enemies with the world.

“Grandpa, you’re making yourself the enemy of the cultivators from all of the world here!” Zhang Ao added frantically.

Zhang Fashan shot a look at Zhang Ao and wore a rather disappointed look on his face, saying, “Making myself the enemy of the world, so what? Would any of them dare to invade Longhu Mountain then? If you couldn’t amount to even this much, how could I possibly pass the sect down to you in the future?”
