Chapter 328 - Chaos in the Heavenly Palace (1/2)

Some on the dark web felt rather impressed.

Times have changed indeed. There has been a time where the Earth was a battlefield that the likes of us could do whatever we please, but now that secular governments have weapons of mass destruction of such a scale, it feels like the Sword of Damocles is hanging right above our heads.

I never thought that the American government would actually be this decisive. They actually just went and pushed the button!

Lu Xuan’s powers and status would have made him a god among mortals in ancient times, so much so that even emperors would have had to bow to him. Hell, he could have changed the regime all over if he wanted to. Yet in modern times, all of that was nullified by just a single nuclear missile.

Many cultivators felt rather dejected at such a bleak reality.

The world of cultivation at the moment had yet to reach anywhere near its pinnacle. As such, combat capacities that secular governments had access to were still more than enough to pose a great threat to all of them.

A threat so great that it could be lethal.

Whatever one’s opinion of Lu Xuan might be, whether one liked him or otherwise, one had to admit that he was currently one of those at the very top among all cultivators throughout the world, yet a single nuclear missile could have taken him out all the same.

That was quite a wake-up call to many cultivators. While it seemed as though they were able to do as they please and no secular authorities could restrain them, there was nonetheless no doubt that nuclear arms would be sent their way, if they were to really get on the bad side of the big five.

Everyone had to admit before such overwhelming power, that whatever their thoughts about it may be, the world has yet to become one where cultivators would be the ones calling the shots. Secular governments still held enough power to terrorize or even destroy the entire world after all.

The news of Lu Xuan fighting against the Covenant of Darkness began to spread all over the dark web as time passed.

Everyone saw just how easily Lu Xuan was able to make short work of four very notorious, top-notch cultivators of old, whom all practically had their own kingdoms.

Now I finally understand why the Americans are so wary of Lu Xuan. If I were to be in their shoes, I’d find it impossible to sleep knowing someone like that is out there.

He’s the Sword of Damocles itself! The very sword hanging above the heads of every single government on the planet! It’s just that the US government was the first to make a move.

Just how far has Lu Xuan’s level got to, eh? Has there ever been any Airborne Realm beings who were as powerful in the past?

It’s quite a pity to have someone like him born in the current era. If it had been in the past, he would have been counted to be among the likes of Zhang Sanfeng, the Bodhidharma, and Lu Dongbin.

Hahahaha, serves him right! That ba**ard is nothing but a menace to the world! Killing him would be doing the world a god**mn favor!

Some felt that it was a pity to see him suffer such a fate, while some others thought that it was best for him to end up dead. The latter were practically celebrating his supposed death.

Lu Xuan was so unbelievably powerful that all those who had scores to settle with him found it impossible to even begin to take revenge. However, they all saw how he was quickly taken care of when the American government took action, and what happened was the best news there was without a doubt to those people.

The dark web was all raving about his fate for quite some time.

Those of the Heavenly Palace quickly received the news as soon as it spread, and all of them were dumbfounded.

It had not been long when Lu Xuan pulled a recruitment drive for the Heavenly Palace, when the news of him being wiped out by a nuclear missile came. The entire place was in a huge commotion.

It was especially so given that the Heavenly Palace was still a newly established organization. It was quite a wonder if the place could still run, since Lu Xuan—the core figure—was taken care of by the US government.

Everyone from the Heavenly Palace was unsettled.

Many were waiting for those from the Heavenly Palace to make their stance clear, and there were even those waiting for a civil war to break out among themselves, so as to gain something from all that chaos.

However, someone appeared in the base on that day; someone that none had expected to make an appearance.
