Chapter 111 - Rats Leaving a Sinking Ship
At this time, halfway up the mountain on the mountainside, a group of people was already waiting seriously.
These people were all wearing the ancient clothes identifying them as disciples of the Soul-snatcher Sect, and they looked towards Lu Xuan with anger in their eyes.
On the previous night, they had already confirmed that the elites on the eastern campaign had all been defeated. For the Soul-snatcher Sect, this was not just a vital injury, as it had brought them to the brink of extinction.
If not for the remaining Sectmaster, most of the people here would likely have deserted the sect in the night.
Moreover, the elites and masters of the Soul-snatcher Sect that Lu Xuan had slain were all related to them in some way or another.
“Beat him to death, substitute Vice Sectmaster, and take revenge for the elders!”
The master leading the group yelled out loudly, as his spirit qi became turbulent. This was actually a Level Six martial arts legend master.
If they were in a small country in Nanyang, they could overthrow kings and governments, and crown themselves as the king.
Yet now, they had all gradually come to terms with the news. The combat ability Lu Xuan was currently displaying was indeed enough to defeat a National Guardian level master, and might even be above that level of power.
“No wonder he dared to come and fight them all by himself. He’s really been prepared from the start!”
“As the saying goes, ‘only a fierce dragon dares to cross the river’!”
“He’s still so young, and even if I’m being generous with my estimate, he’s no older than 30, and he already has such strong cultivation. Could he have started cultivating himself while he was still in his mother’s womb?”
1The heroes of Xinan were all thinking about different things, but they shared one thing in common, which was that they were all overwhelmed with shock at Lu Xuan’s frightening combat strength.
In a few moments, the elites of the Soul-snatcher Sect, who had been putting up an intense resistance, had all been slain by Lu Xuan.
Even though they had spent many consecutive nights preparing their firepower, they were still helpless before Lu Xuan.
The remaining regular disciples were scared out of their minds. The feeling Lu Xuan gave them was as though he was a demon who had crawled out of hell itself, and was an unstoppable enemy.
The Soul-snatcher Sect had never been big on connecting hearts and unity, and many had clung on to the Soul-snatcher Sect to take advantage of its clout.
Now, it was a clear example of rats leaving a sinking ship. In a brief span of time, many of the Soul-snatcher Sect’s disciples were too afraid to join in the fighting and fled to the four winds.
In the distance, Yun Feiying was observing the happenings through a pair of binoculars, and gave the order, “All troops move out, search in all directions. We must not allow a single one of the Soul-snatcher Sect disciples to escape!”
Yun Feiying did not want any trouble. They could not afford to let any of the Soul-snatcher Sect’s disciples get away from them now, or there would be trouble for the Agency of Special Affairs in the future.
They went to the extent of having the troops spread out on a large scale operation to surround and search the mountain.
A single night was enough time for Yun Feiying to go around and borrow some elite troops from military camps around the area. The purpose of doing so was to ensure that the Soul-snatcher Sect would be thoroughly slain, without a single survivor.
Lu Xuan did not give chase to the fleeing disciples, as he had sensed from the start that the surrounding forests on the mountains were hiding many soldiers. This was obviously a set-up to completely uproot the Soul-snatcher Sect.
The rest of the work would naturally be left to them.
As for Lu Xuan, he stepped over the human corpses in his way and made a beeline for the largest and most prominent palace on the mountaintop.
“Qiu Zhen, you still aren’t coming out to meet your maker?”
