Chapter 104 - Breakthrough into Level Eight
Wang Yang did not say anything more. In truth, it was not just them. Any sect or clan with even a bit of history or lineage was laying low—all of them were hidden dragons waiting to strike.
That was because all of them knew that they sorely lacked the ability to resist the Huaxia government as they were at the moment, but things might change in the future.
As the restoration of spirit qi became more pronounced, their abilities would only grow, so much so it would have been normal for them to achieve progress by leaps and bounds in a very short period of them.
It was more than spirit qi that was being restored; there was also the case with the shackles on their abilities.
Cultivation was difficult not only because of the problem with the abundance of spirit qi, but there was also the limitation put on them by the world itself. The Soul-snatcher Sect had only been biding their time so far. The frightening progress achieved over the past several years was a sign of the world gradually removing such limitations on them.
Their more profound their cultivation had been, the more pronounced they felt about such effects.
It was due to such happenings that Tian Han had been so boastful, claiming that he would not even have to be wary of the Special Task Force if they were to just hang on for few more years. If they were to be able to get to the level of their founder, they would not have even needed to care about firearms at all.
Every single person behind them ebbed with ferocious aura.
Ling Huang and Shi Danze, who were both standing beside Lu Xuan, looked severe.
All other people of the Ling Clan had moved elsewhere beforehand, and there was hardly anyone left in the estate.
None of them would have been of any use back in the estate after all.
“Three National Guardians, eh?”
Shi Danze felt a chill run down his spine, and his mouth dried up.
He sensed that all three leading figures were at the National Guardian level, and there were also several Martial Arts Legends behind them. All the others were Baodan Grandmasters and HuaJin Masters.
The worst scenario that he had anticipated was nowhere that bad. Lu Xuan said that he intended to round them all up and deal with them all at once, but it seemed, at the moment, that there was no telling who would actually be the one to be dealt with.
The scene was so terrifying that he even had the urge to run, but he knew that running was not an option; otherwise, Lu Xuan would kill him on the spot with a single thought.
Ling Huang sensed an overwhelming terror washing all over them like a tidal wave.
He was only a common folk, and there was no way he was able to handle the pressure from so many formidable fighters.
However, he quickly sensed the overwhelming pressure dispelled. Lu Xuan made a move, dispersing all that pressure that filled the air around them.
He had actually dispersed all that pressure single-handedly.
“Familiar faces, and it seems like the Soul-snatcher Sect is going all out on this one, indeed.”
Lu Xuan took one look at the lineup. Given the sect’s current level of restoration and Lu Xuan’s estimation, the lineup would have probably been the strongest the sect was able to gather.
That was the very reason why he chose to let that man with sharp features escape. He did so for the very purpose of rounding up the strongest people of the sect scattered all over the world so that he was able to deal with them all in one go.
He was familiar with both Wang Yang and Tian Han, but they appeared a lot younger than he remembered them to be.
Tian Han and the other two set their sights on Lu Xuan as well, knowing full well that he was the target of the current operation.
He was the man who killed their young Sectmaster.
“I see that you’ve brought many here, but why is your Sectmaster—Qiu Zhen—around? Is he just gonna let his son die in vain?” Lu Xuan asked calmly.
