Chapter 108 - Formidable Ones of the Southwest
Forces with National Guardians holding the fort and the other forces were of totally different orders of magnitude.
The Min Province was never a strong province when it came to cultivation. There were no other noteworthy cultivator forces to speak of other than the Southern Shaolin Temple.
Be it the Chen Clan or the Seven Invincible Sect, they were not even a Martial Arts Legend among them, at the moment.
Their claims of wanting to reign supreme all over the province were little more than boasts since there was no one else bothering to put them in their place.
If the Soul-snatcher Sect were to actually invade, those two forces would have crumbled right away. Until the Special Task Force mobilized formidable fighters from the headquarters, there would be no way for them to win against that sect.
If something like that were to indeed happen, then things would undoubtedly be difficult for the Special Task Forces of the Min Province from then on out.
But then again, despite Yun Sheng’s best efforts in making Lu Xuan as huge as he was able to, he still ended up underestimating what Lu Xuan was capable of.
“Notify our guys over there. Tell them to help Mr. Lu clean up the place.”
Ming Yueyao made her decision right there and then.
Hundreds gathered at the foot of a mountain caught in the clouds in Dian Province at the very next morning. All of them looked rather dusty, and it was obvious that they had been traveling to the foot of that mountain throughout the night.
All of those people were either dressed for combat or wearing some weird attire of old. Every single one of them appeared intimidating.
Despite having traveled for one whole night, none of them showed any signs of weariness.
They all looked rather excited instead.
All of those people were cultivators from all walks of life from the southwest, who got there as soon as they caught wind of the news. Some were pure warriors, some were Tame Head Sorcerers, and there were also Taoist Priests dressed in Taoist robes.
Anyone from the outside world would have thought a cosplay event was being held if they saw such a gathering.
However, any cultivator from the southwest would have been shaken to the core if they saw such a massive gathering. Even the weakest among the bunch were renowned cultivators in the region, after all.
They would have, at the very least, HuaJin Masters who had their own martial arts centers.
“It’s quite a shock to see that so many have heard the news and traveled through the night to get here. I thought I just saw someone earlier. That guy clad in black is probably the Tame Head Sorcerer known as the Viper King. I’ve heard things about him before. It’s said that he studied under the Crimson Dragon King in Southeast Asia and was quite renowned among the countries down there. He had only returned to Huaxia after getting on the bad side of some Southeast Asian big shots.”
“That’s not all. See that limp monk over there? He’s no joke as well. I heard that he practiced Hinayana Buddhism, which is different from the ones here as they do not forbid killing. His Vajra Demon-slayer Hand skill is something to be wary of.”
Someone pointed in the monk who walked with a limp and was dressed in a tattered kasaya.
“And that skinny Taoist Priest over there, if I’m not mistaken, is probably Priest Qing Yunzi from the Qingyang Temple.”
More and more people showed up, and many were getting increasingly shocked. Many in the group were recognized, and it was easy to tell that all of them were top-notch fighters known throughout the southwest.
Every single one of them was a National Guardian level being, and all had been renowned for years. They were hardly seen in one place due to being practitioners from different locations, although they all maintained an esteemed status among local cultivators.
Yet, all of them gathered in one place since they had all heard the news.
