Chapter 152 - Three Months Passed
The Dragon was seen wearing a bitter smirk. He knew very well what Lu Xuan meant. In truth, who among Qiu Zhen and Song Lingfeng was the stronger one did not matter to him at all.
Those two were leagues beneath him anyway.
That was what Lu Xuan was obviously feeling at the moment. Who the hell would have been bored enough to care about who the strongest out of a bunch was, anyway?
However, the Dragon swallowed that bitter feeling. He was one who had seen a lot, to begin with. If it had not been for the blow he suffered at the moment was so vexing, he would not have had harbored such thoughts to begin with.
With Lu Xuan added to the Special Task Force’s ranks, the agency had truly been reinforced even further, albeit in quite a peculiar way.
“Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Lu. My eyes were truly opened today.” The Dragon continued, “If it had not been for the fight with you today, I’d have probably remained like a frog in a well, only seeing the sky above him.”
Lu Xuan did little more than grin at him. He was wondering if the Dragon was being truthful, but then again, that was undoubtedly the truth in a manner of speaking.
If he were actually to construct such a place from scratch, there was no telling how long the construction would have taken.
While the villa was an expensive purchase, he had all the income he needed from the sale of protection talismans, so he was never short on money in the first place.
But then again, all the modifications and formations he put in place cost him tens of billions of yuan.
The expenditure had been so high that even world-class tycoons would have found it baffling. However, unlike the estates of the usual rich and powerful, the layout and decorations were hardly considered extravagant. The expenditure was mostly spent on some materials for laying down formations that were hard to find.
The planet had not seen the restoration of spirit qi for long, and as such, many materials lacked sentience of any kind, so any materials that possessed sentience were unusually expensive.
Only Lu Xuan would have been able to set things up as he did, as it would still have been difficult for tycoons with trillions to their name to fork out tens of billions of dollars.
He deemed all these expenses worth it, for he was doing it for the safety of his family.
That formation back at the manor was but a preliminary test, as the place was just too small, and there were too many limitations. The place was entirely inadequate for allowing Lu Xuan to put all that he knew about formations into practice.
Things, however, were different at the moment. With the villa having a mountain behind it and bodies of water around, Lu Xuan was free to do whatever he needed to lay down the formation he wanted.
The power of the formation he laid out at that time was exponentially more powerful than the ones he laid before. Even if the likes of the Song Clan were to mobilize all their forces to attack the place, it would not have been possible for them to even get past the maze.
If someone were to break the formation, they would have needed a formation master of higher training than Lu Xuan, and that was utterly impossible.
If anything were to happen, the maze could then be transformed into a killing formation. All who entered would die without a second thought.
Lu Xuan truly had everything thought out, and it was airtight unless a national level force decided to bomb the place with nuclear ordnance. But then again, it would have been the end of everything, given how even the city would have been razed. The possibility of something like that happening was so infinitesimally small that it was deemed negligible.
Conventionally-speaking, that defense he laid out was truly an impregnable one.
