Chapter 159 - A Party Consisting of Invincible Vajra Level Cultivators
In that day and age, the slaughter of up to 10,000 people would immediately shake the entire country if the incident became widely known.
“The authorities are putting a lockdown on the news now, but something this big is going to leak sooner or later.” Ming Yueyao sounded worried on the other side of the phone.
There was just no way something that big could be kept quiet, after all, especially in the current situation, as officials had already made the decision to no longer place any lockdown on information regarding the world of cultivators.
In truth, after the world had seen such an unprecedented scale of restoration of spirit qi, locking down information and news at such a scale would have been impossible anyway.
There was also no doubt just how shocked the country would be when they heard the news that such a ferocious monster had killed so many people.
“Where’s the Dragon?” Lu Xuan asked.
He felt it was a bit unusual that it was not the Dragon who’d contacted him, given the gravity of the situation at hand.
“The experts from the headquarters suggested that we bear with it for the time being, just lay low and buy time, then wait for the opportunity to strike, but that simply doesn’t sit well with me.” Ming Yueyao’s voice sounded rather vexed by this.
The losses they’d suffered were just too great, and the monster kings were running rampant, yet the best the Special Task Force was capable of was simply to sitting around and waiting.
The Special Task Force had never suffered like that before.
That was why Ming Yueyao had gone to look for Lu Xuan at once.
“You’re hoping to have me take the animal out, then?” Lu Xuan’s brow twitched. The smirk on his face looked rather sheepish.
On the other side of the phone, Ming Yueyao smirked with excitement as she replied, “Well, I wouldn’t dare to ask that of you. Those animals are all Invincible Vajra level beings, after all, and it would be very, very difficult to take them on, but it’s not like we have no chance against them. The Spiritual Tide that happened last night definitely benefitted more than just those monsters, and there are surely some humans who have become Invincible Vajras, too. I know of some clans and sects who had members that were already at Deity level to begin with. This was a very rare opportunity, one that probably enabled them to make further breakthroughs. I think that making such a breakthrough wouldn’t be so difficult for someone of your capabilities, so I’d like to invite you to join the operation to take out these monster kings.”
“A party consisting of Invincible Vajra level cultivators, eh?” Lu Xuan grinned and continued, “That does sound interesting.”
