Chapter 278 - A Huge Commotion
There were quite a number of formidable fighters who were of the Huashan Sect, but all of them were members of the previous generations who had been training painstakingly; there was only one top notch member among the younger generations in their midst, and that was none other than Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter.
Having Zhu Wuzhi killed was seen to be a loss like no other to the Huashan Sect.
However, before the Huashan Sect had gotten furious enough to look for trouble with Lu Xuan, yet another piece of news was heard.
The goliath that had been reigning supreme in the western regions—the Guimen Sect—had been annihilated in a single night.
That event caused quite a commotion throughout the nation.
That style of annihilating an entire sect without question nor hesitation, was something that all cultivators had been very familiar with.
All of them had been subjected to the fear of Lu Xuan reigning supreme and throwing his weight around over a year ago.
Lu Xuan’s power was such that he was considered one of a kind after all.
The entire place did not get very riled up over his disappearance over the past year, and his eventual return.
Everyone did not know of his whereabouts to begin with, so they all thought that he had perished.
Those of the Yunxuan Villa, however, knew very well that he was far from dead.
Lu Xuan left a mark signifying the master-slave relationship between them on the rabbit. The animal was not alone, as Yang Chengsi, Zhang Hongyang and the others bore such a mark from Lu Xuan as well.
He was able to have full knowledge of their conditions regardless of what was happening, through such a mark alone.
The effect worked the other way around as well, as they were able to tell if Lu Xuan was dead from that mark alone.
That was because they would all die instantly if Lu Xuan were to be dead after all, which was make that contract between them and Lu Xuan so unfairly skewed.
That was the fundamental reason that prevented them from turning their backs or scheming against Lu Xuan’s will.
His parents and sisters knew without a doubt that he was alive through such contracts those people had with him. He was even able to send messages on and off to his parents through special attributes inherent in those contracts, which he did through the rabbit.
All was done so to put them at ease.
If Lu Xuan’s powers were to be further deepened in the future, he could have even connected with the rabbit through a single thought alone, even if they were separated literally by oceans.
The use of such a connection for transmitting messages was very, very effective.
“So, kicking up something big right after you got home eh, bro? Man, that Guimen Sect is just disgusting,” Lu Shanshan said.
As the Guimen Sect was annihilated, nobody bothered hiding anything for the dead sect anymore. All manner of harrowing news regarding their inhumane deeds spread like wildfire before long.
No one needed to go out of their way to search for such happenings, as it was all recorded in the sect’s archives. All those information and records naturally fell to the Dragon Fang Special Forces’ hands, after the organization cleaned up the place.
Even though only a handful of such happenings made it to the internet, all those harrowing news was nonetheless more than enough to rile the netizens up.
It was especially so when it became known that the sect relied on slaughter of common folks to further their cultivation, extracting souls of their victims, which were then subjected to all sorts of torture to turn them into vengeful spirits, which were in turn be used as the sect’s tools and weapons.
Such practices would have been deemed off-putting even in ancient times, let alone modern times.
The internet was thrown into quite a huge commotion soon enough.
Lu Shanshan read quite a few pieces of what she found on the net about the Guimen Sect, which disgusted her immensely.
All that disgust was clearly written on her pretty face.
