Chapter 160 - Shaking the World
“That is indeed what I mean,” Ming Yueyao said.
The corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth twitched. He had to admit that he found Ming Yueyao’s thoughts to be… quite childish.
From her perspective, the Deity level beings in all those organizations and sects must have made it to Invincible Vajra level, and they would surely all join forces with the Special Task Force to take out the monster kings for the greater good of humanity.
However, Lu Xuan knew better than anyone that all those organizations and sects had their own agendas.
There were actually quite a good number of people who probably saw the Special Task Force as public enemy number one. As for those monster kings, they did not care about how strong those beasts had become, for the monster kings were but supreme beings in certain regions.
That was probably what some people wanted to see: a messy era where warlords carved out their own territories. It could become a time for them to make something for themselves.
Lu Xuan knew the objectives and missions behind the existence of many such organizations, and they were doing what they did to facilitate the emergence of sects that had long hidden from the world.
Lu Xuan arrived at the Yunxuan Villa outside Fu City, and before long he saw his family members training diligently amidst the flowing waters and lush gardens.
The attention of the masses gradually shifted away from the bloody mess that the White Ape King had caused.
I’m telling you guys, I saw someone at my company burst into flames with my own eyes, and then he was gone the very next day. I’m sure the government took the poor guy away!
From the looks of it, seems like other than the Awakened, we would stand a chance at cultivation, too?
This is just great! I’ve dreamed of a day like this for a long time!
But just when everyone was steeped in all that information that seemed to have popped out of nowhere about the world of cultivators, a frightening piece of news came in.
Military forces, consisting of tens of thousands who were garrisoned in E Province, had begun to surround Shennongjia.
It was clear to everyone that the army was about to enter the dense woods of Shennongjia for the express purpose of taking out the White Ape King.
More internal news was leaked. It was said that the White Ape King’s actions had shaken the Inner Palace, and everyone there was determined to kill that ape monster.
The world may have entered the new era of cultivators, but that clearly didn’t mean that a bunch of monsters could just do whatever they pleased.
It became apparent that things were a bit different from how Ming Yueyao had framed them. The powers of the Inner Palace far eclipsed those of the Special Task Force, and the two sides had different ideas about how to go about things on many occasions.
The tens of thousands of troops carried cutting-edge military-grade weapons as they entered Shennongjia to take out the White Ape King.
It was only when the army arrived that they realized that the Shennongjia before them differed from the Shennongjia they used to know.
Shennongjia had already been a mysterious place in Huaxia to begin with, and the restoration of spirit qi had only made the place appear more supernatural.
Ultimately, that massive military force was ambushed inside Shennongjia, and the entire force was wiped out. The news shocked the entire nation.
