Chapter 128 - Who Agrees and Who Objects
Things looked like two elephants fighting; any stomp from either one of them was like squashing an ant.
That was how brutal reality was.
All the power and money they held was worth nothing in the face of real combat prowess.
It was only then that they came to truly realize why even governments were wary of the cultivators.
That was because common people still had a certain measure of control over cultivators when cultivators were willing to comply with the rules of common people. Yet, when things got ugly, the rules were quickly cast aside.
Or rather, they would simply resort to doing it in the way of the world of cultivators—the rules stating that might made right, and that true prowess reigned over all.
“You dare to kill someone right here?” Song Shijie was stunned right away.
Their powers were immeasurable.
Yet, such figures ended up dead by a single swing of the blade before Lu Xuan all the same.
The shock to Song Shijie was profound. Lu Xuan was not known as the number one in Min Province for no reason, after all.
“I’d have held nothing against you and the Holy Dragon Corporation for wanting to make a foothold here in Min Province, but you made a grave mistake on stepping on my head to do so.” Lu Xuan grinned and continued, “Who the f*ck do you think you are? Know your place, damn it. You are what you are because of that old fart Song Lingfeng, and even that old fart Song Lingfeng means nothing to me. Yet, you think you’re somebody, huh?”
A hint of indifference was seen in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
“You… you know of the Great Ancestor?” A hint of shock was seen in Song Shijie’s eyes.
The man named Song Lingfeng that Lu Xuan just mentioned was the true backing and trump card that the lineage of the Song Clan in the Holy Dragon Corporation relied on.
That Great Ancestor was one of the founders of the Holy Dragon Corporation, who enjoyed a very esteemed status in the conglomerate.
It was just that said Great Ancestor had been shutting himself in, training in isolation for many years as of late, and he would not be venturing outside without good reason. No one outside would have known of that old man, and Song Shijie was puzzled as to how Lu Xuan learned about this matter.
Lu Xuan snorted indifferently. He definitely knew Song Lingfeng. He had been on Song Shijie’s hit list back in his past life, and his successful kill of Song Shijie lured one such old monster of the Song Clan out.
Although Lu Xuan had not been able to fight toe-to-toe against Song Lingfeng back then and had to lay low for a time, he had, nonetheless, finally been able to get rid of Song Lingfeng after making a frightening progress in his cultivation.
“You really think you can throw your weight around just because you have Song Lingfeng behind you?” Lu Xuan continued coldly, “I’ll tell you this much, Song Lingfeng will end up dead all the same, even if he were to show up here himself.
“I heard that someone said something about forming a coalition or an alliance or something in the province earlier. I think that is quite a good idea. I’d like to see who agrees and who objects.”
Lu Xuan scanned the crowd with his very pointed gaze.
