Chapter 295: Keeping Things under Control
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 governnt 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 governnt fully acknowledge their stance and powers in the matter, which would have then made the governnt slow down with the cultivation propagation effort.
Even the cultivators siding with the governnt 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 governnt as well. The location of the sect was revered as a Taoist sacred ground for ages, and that was sothing made possible due to the reigning regis of the past backing them.
The current governnt was deed over 1,000 tis more terrifying than the past feudal regis that ca before it. It was a governnt that commanded powers that were over 1,0000 tis 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 sothing like what was happening at the mont, 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 governnt 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 governnt 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 imdiately.
In truth, the Heavenly Palace was hardly worth ntioning in the eyes of those from the Maoshan Sect.
If the backing of the reigning governnt 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 extrely likely that he would just go about annihilating a whole sect and clan yet again.
The governnt 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 extrely pissed deep down.
“Send n and inform the Celestial Master Taoist. He is the only person, at the mont, who is capable of saving us all.”
The sect master ordered his n to fetch a command token and leave the mountain through the rear.
Duan Shan ca 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?
The netizens were puzzled over the news, having no idea what just happened.
The impact of the news on the dark web had gotten even more severe.
So, the Huaxian governnt is finally getting their revenge, eh?
They really wasted no ti retaliating then.
The Maoshan Sect descended from the Shangqing School! How dare they do such a thing!?
They were more who were terrified. There were a huge number of people involved in all that had happened, and they initially thought they would have gotten away with it, given how massive the whole thing was.
However, given that even a prestigious, ancient renowned sect like the Maoshan Sect was taken down just like that, and their base being sealed away altogether, things would have definitely gotten worse for the other smaller sects and clans. It was utterly impossible to escape the disaster that was upon them all.
What happened with the Maoshan Sect was indeed just the beginning of it all. Not only was the Heavenly Palace mobilized, but the Special Task Force, the Dragon Fang Special Forces, and many other governnt organizations that no one had even heard of had their forces mobilized en masse as well.
Powerful sects and clans were taken down one after another.
The Corpse-driving Clan of Xiangxi.
The Tianshang Sect of the Northwest.
The shamans of the Northeast.
…
One renowned clan and sect was taken out after another.
There was even news every now and then of several clans and sects being too involved in the revolt, thus refusing to cooperate with the investigation and killed the fighters out to investigate.
Those sects and clans were quickly snuffed out by the military using heavy weapons.
That, coupled with runic bullets and shells developed by the Special Task Force, enabled those clans and sects to be easily taken out, despite their bases being protected by layers of barriers and formations.
The military bared their claws and fangs in the operations as well, driving ho the ssage to all cultivation forces that the military had ans of putting them in their place as well.
The military beca just as capable of exterminating them outright.
The entire world of cultivation was thrown into mass panic.
At the sa ti, terrifying manhunts were carried out throughout all of Huaxia.
The foreign cultivators that infiltrated Huaxia one way or another began to face the Huaxian authorities’ wrath.
The Huaxian governnt had not been able to do much against the powerful Celestial Realm cultivators over a year ago, but at present, said governnt beca fully capable of taking them on.
The runic ammunition, upgraded to 2.0 version, beca mass standard issued weapons. It was sothing terrifying enough to make even the likes of Celestial Realm beings flee.
The new runic ammunition was so potent that not even their protective Spiritual Qi was able to defend against it.
That had been sothing that the Huaxian governnt back in Lu Xuan’s past life, spent years to develop. Its effects beca even pronounced, given that they were brought out earlier than originally expected.
The new runic ammunition was potent enough to cause massive casualties among the likes of Celestial Realm beings.
One renowned overseas cultivator after another fell to the Special Task Force’s might. There were even more from the likes of local military forces, SWAT teams, and so such joining the ranks of organizations like the Heavenly Palace.
The string of operations completely stomped down any influence the revolting cultivators built on that night. The Huaxian governnt demonstrated their might through said string of operations as well.
It was a ssage to all, saying that the governnt still possessed a force powerful enough to keep things in check.
At the sa ti, Lu Xuan made himself renowned among the cultivators throughout the entire world yet again, through that battle taking place that night.
What is strength?
This is strength!
What does it an to be invincible?
This is what it ans to be invincible!
Everyone knew very well that the man who turned the tables around when the cultivation forces struck was none other than Lu Xuan.
He was the man who went about keeping things under control all on his own.
