Chapter 102: Waiting in isolation

Lu Xuan killed without any hesitation or remorse.

He knew very well what the members of the Soul-s.n.a.t.c.her Sect were like, and n.o.body with a conscience would be able to survive being in that sect for long.

The hands of those people were soaked with the blood of countless innocent people.

That man with sharp features was shaken to the core, seeing how Lu Xuan killed without showing any mercy, fearing that he would be next.

However, he was unable to run at that moment, even if he wanted to, as he was completely pinned down by Lu Xuan’s might.

But then again, he was overjoyed to hear what Lu Xuan said next: “Get lost.”

That man scrambled out of the place at once after Lu Xuan granted permission for him to leave.

He disappeared without a trace before long.

“Mr. Lu, sparing him is like sparing a tiger. He’ll definitely let those of the sect know what happened here!” Ling Huang rushed from the second floor and said frantically.

He was very, very concerned, as what Lu Xuan did simply allowed trouble to come back at a later date.

“No need to fret, President Ling. Do you think no one in the sect knows that they were here in the first place?” Lu Xuan said nonchalantly.

Ling Huang only recalled that all three who had been there had not come in secret. If the sect were to look into it, it would only be a matter of time before they linked all that happened to Ling Huang and Lu Xuan.

“As such, it’s only a matter of time before they come knocking on our doors. You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t be on guard for a thousand days. I don’t mind at all if they decide not to show up, but your family will have to live with their threat looming over their head at all times by then,” Lu Xuan said plainly.

“There is someone in the sect who is a Level Seven National Guardian. If someone like that were to come after you, you could run to heaven or h.e.l.l, and you bet they’d be on your tail still.”

Ling Huang was dumbfounded after hearing Lu Xuan say that there were such figures in the sect. He was no longer someone who knew nothing of the cultivators like he had been before, after all.

He went through his own channels to find out more about the cultivators and the systems on his own, learning that Level Six Martial Arts Legends were more than capable of reigning supreme over a region.

It was just like how it was with Qiu Qianying, who would have been able to kill every single person in the Ling Clan if he so fancied.

That fact was even more p.r.o.nounced with the case of the National Guardians. Those were people that even nations had to woo over. If such people intended to kill every single person in the Ling Clan, there would be little else for them to do but to surrender before their eventual doom.

That was how overbearing the cultivators were.

In some third world countries, National Guardians could easily overthrow regimes single-handedly, so much so that they could make themselves kings if they wanted to.

If people of such caliber were to be after him, then it would have been just like how Lu Xuan put it—he could run to heaven or h.e.l.l, but he’d be a piece of meat on a chopping board all the same.

“So, the best way to deal with this is to get to the source of things,” Lu Xuan added.

“I deliberately showed them what I was capable of and let that guy report back. The sect will then know that I’m at Level Seven, and if they try to take me on, they will have had to rally the elites in all of the sect. I will then have them surrounded and dealt with in one go.”

There was a cold glint seen in his eyes as he spoke.

s.h.i.+ Danze, who had been recuperating at the sides, almost fell out of his chair when he heard Lu Xuan say something about one person surrounding a whole group of people. That sounded really off.

But then again, it seemed to make sense, nonetheless, since that one in question was Lu Xuan.

Although Ling Huang was rea.s.sured by Lu Xuan and knew that the young man was making sense, he still was concerned. “Will you be able to take them on alone, given now that you know they have a National Guardian among them? How about I hire someone from the dark web? I’m certainly don’t believe that I won’t be able to hire someone if I’m to be willing to pay 100 million yuan. h.e.l.l, maybe one billion or ten billion! I’m sure we could definitely get a National Guardian on our side!”

Ling Huang was very p.i.s.sed as well. He was still a somebody in Southern Min after all, yet, at the moment, someone just kicked down his door and treated him as if he was little more than an ant.

He wanted to prove that money was still power to a certain extent. At the same time, he wanted to show everyone else that the Ling Clan was not a pushover.

Ling Huang did not think for a second that such cultivators were G.o.ds or immortals who did not bother themselves with mortals.

Cultivators needed resources to train, and given how even the likes of Lu Xuan had to sell protection talismans to make a living, others definitely had to as well.

There was no doubt that one needed resources astronomically expensive to further one’s training.

That was where the power of money came in.

Lu Xuan nodded. If Ling Huang was really willing to offer ten billion yuan, hiring a National Guardian definitely would not be a problem. Even if the opponent they faced were to be a National Guardian as well, they would still make a move since the prize was ten billion yuan, after all.

Cultivators needed to eat, and they had a huge amount of followers as well, which meant they needed to spend a lot of money.

As such, rich people still had a part to play in the new era. Money was still an effective way to talk to cultivators.

“There’s no need for that.”

But then, Lu Xuan declined the proposal right away.

“The Soul-s.n.a.t.c.her Sect is but a collection of sc.u.m. Even if there is a National Guardian among them, I’m still gonna obliterate the entire sect, including that National Guardian.”

Lu Xuan declared this confidently. It was just like how it was with a National Guardian wanting to kill a common person. Said person could have run all they wanted, and he would still be there to finish the job.

He had made a decision to obliterate the entire Soul-s.n.a.t.c.her Sect, and so it was only a matter of time before the entire sect was eliminated.

“I’ll stay here for a few days then, just to wait for those *ssholes from the sect to show up.”

“That’s great!” Ling Huang said right away. He couldn’t have heard any better news at the moment.

Lu Xuan decided to stay at Ling Huang’s place for several days. He would use this time to push his cultivation to Level Eight.

He had been polis.h.i.+ng his foundation at Level Seven National Guardian Level for quite some time. His foundation was already very stable, and he deemed that it was time to move to Level Eight.

When he reached Level Eight, it would be the time he saw to the extinction of the entire Soul-s.n.a.t.c.her Sect.

Ling Huang went to prepare a room for Lu Xuan right away after he said that.

s.h.i.+ Danze was on guard duty right outside Lu Xuan’s room, although there was no actual need for that. Lu Xuan’s range of perception was such that if there were an intruder in the house, he would probably know about it sooner than s.h.i.+ Danze anyway.

However, he did not say anything about the arrangement.

He shut himself in the room and sat cross-legged, activating the Taixu Origin Power as he took out a single consolidation pill, gulping it down.

The pill, which was crafted using precious herbs, was capable of stabilizing his foundation and consolidating his basis, therefore enabling his powers to grow.

Lu Xuan sensed a powerful rush from the pill spreading all over his body the very moment he gulped it down, sending a gush of warmth to his internal organs and boosting his cultivation level.

On the other side, that man with sharp features was shaken to the core. He quickly bought a flight ticket home as soon as he escaped.

He relayed news back to his sect.

The entire sect was p.i.s.sed right away. It had always been them throwing their weight around Southern Yunnan, and no one had dared to cross them so far.

The ones at the top of the sect quickly returned and converged at their lair in the mountains.
