This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome Chapter 278 - A Huge Commotion

Chapter 278: A Huge Commotion

There were quite a number of formidable fighters who were of the Huashan Sect, but all of them were members of the previous generations who had been training painstakingly; there was only one top notch member among the younger generations in their midst, and that was none other than Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter.

Having Zhu Wuzhi killed was seen to be a loss like no other to the Huashan Sect.

However, before the Huashan Sect had gotten furious enough to look for trouble with Lu Xuan, yet another piece of news was heard.

The goliath that had been reigning supreme in the western regions—the Guimen Sect—had been annihilated in a single night.

That event caused quite a commotion throughout the nation.

That style of annihilating an entire sect without question nor hesitation, was something that all cultivators had been very familiar with.

All of them had been subjected to the fear of Lu Xuan reigning supreme and throwing his weight around over a year ago.

Lu Xuan’s power was such that he was considered one of a kind after all.

His powers were so formidable that he could almost be considered a genius of no equal throughout the whole wide world.

Back then, there was simply nothing even the best among them—all of them Invincible Vajras—would be able to do against a Celestial like him.

Back then, Lu Xuan was seen as the manifestation of despair.

Many clans and sects chose to lay low and bid their time, in order to avoid crossing Lu Xuan and clashing with him head on.

They finally got that piece of news they all wanted, that Lu Xuan had perished, and they all thought that the devil looming above their heads was no more.

Yet, that devil returned at the moment when n.o.body antic.i.p.ated it.

Furthermore, he declared his return through absolutely overpowering means.

The Guimen Sect was indeed very notorious among the many clans and sects, where everyone knew that they went about killing innocent common folks to further their cultivation.

However, the world they lived in was not like that found in wuxia novels—there were no pa.s.sionate young heroes with hearts of gold out to rid the world of evil and some such.

It was also deemed nigh-impossible to bring down a monster like the Guimen Sect single-handedly as well.

None of the other cultivators was able to figure out, just how was that even possible.

There were then news saying that the feat was made possible, because he collaborated with the Dragon Fang Special Forces.

Everyone nonetheless knew that it was Lu Xuan who was probably doing the bulk of the work. If it were to be so easy to rid the Guimen Sect to begin with, the government would have done so a long time ago.

While there were quite a number of cultivation forces that dabbled in illegal affairs of one kind or another, yet a force that practiced such evil so blatantly and openly was nonetheless among the extreme few.

Everyone knew that the Guimen Sect had long been a thorn at the government’s side for a very long time, and the authorities would definitely uproot them at the first opportunity they get.

The Huaxian government of present time was no longer the kind of useless central government back in feudal times after all, and said government had command of terrifying powers that could strike fear in all that crossed them.

The opportunity for doing so presented itself when Lu Xuan reemerged.

Everyone knew why Lu Xuan would go all the way to hunt Young Master Gui—he was doing so with the expressed purpose of tying up loose ends.

What led to all of that happening quickly became widespread knowledge as well, and if there was one thought that all cultivators shared at that time, it was to absolutely never touch anyone that had anything to do with Lu Xuan, no matter what happens. Even very remote connections and relations in that case, could have brought about their ruin after all.

The thought of just how many people and forces were no more throughout the years, due to the very fact that those people and forces went out to make trouble for those related to Lu Xuan in one way or another, sent shivers down the spines of all those cultivators.

After learning that the Guimen Sect was annihilated and even the Feng Shui of the sect’s base was altered by the Dragon Fang Special Forces, those of the Huashan Sect quieted down right away.

It was no joke after all. The power of the Guimen Sect was every bit on par with their own. While that sect had a notorious reputation, all had to admit that they were powerful nonetheless.

With even one such powerful sect getting snuffed out so easily, things would not have been different for the Huashan Sect, if they were to choose to act against him.

Lu Xuan’s notoriety became known throughout the world before long.

Huaxia was not alone reeling in shock, as the commotion caused by his return spread all over the world.

He had been a monster who killed two of the three elders of the bloodkin over a year ago after all.

Having been declared dead by the Vampiric Empire prior, it became apparent that it was quite a blow to the empire at the moment, after his return became public knowledge.

It was indeed a very, very heavy blow to the empire.

The empire of vampires felt embarra.s.sed and insulted like they had never been before.

Worse still, Lu Xuan’s survival presented a very real and very serious threat to them all.

He, who had been trapped in the vampire’s ancestral land, had truly returned, and that undoubtedly posed a very urgent threat to the empire.

His return became a major variable to the world of cultivators, which had always been unpredictable and turbulent.

On the other side, Lu Xuan finally returned to the Yunxuan Villa.

“It’s good to see you home.”

Liu Wanrong took a look at Lu Xuan with a very calm expression, before going back to her facial treatment yet again.

The entire place did not get very riled up over his disappearance over the past year, and his eventual return.

Everyone did not know of his whereabouts to begin with, so they all thought that he had perished.

Those of the Yunxuan Villa, however, knew very well that he was far from dead.

Lu Xuan left a mark signifying the master-slave relationship between them on the rabbit. The animal was not alone, as Yang Chengsi, Zhang Hongyang and the others bore such a mark from Lu Xuan as well.

He was able to have full knowledge of their conditions regardless of what was happening, through such a mark alone.

The effect worked the other way around as well, as they were able to tell if Lu Xuan was dead from that mark alone.

That was because they would all die instantly if Lu Xuan were to be dead after all, which was make that contract between them and Lu Xuan so unfairly skewed.

That was the fundamental reason that prevented them from turning their backs or scheming against Lu Xuan’s will.

His parents and sisters knew without a doubt that he was alive through such contracts those people had with him. He was even able to send messages on and off to his parents through special attributes inherent in those contracts, which he did through the rabbit.

All was done so to put them at ease.

If Lu Xuan’s powers were to be further deepened in the future, he could have even connected with the rabbit through a single thought alone, even if they were separated literally by oceans.

The use of such a connection for transmitting messages was very, very effective.

“So, kicking up something big right after you got home eh, bro? Man, that Guimen Sect is just disgusting,” Lu Shanshan said.

As the Guimen Sect was annihilated, n.o.body bothered hiding anything for the dead sect anymore. All manner of harrowing news regarding their inhumane deeds spread like wildfire before long.

No one needed to go out of their way to search for such happenings, as it was all recorded in the sect’s archives. All those information and records naturally fell to the Dragon Fang Special Forces’ hands, after the organization cleaned up the place.

Even though only a handful of such happenings made it to the internet, all those harrowing news was nonetheless more than enough to rile the netizens up.

It was especially so when it became known that the sect relied on slaughter of common folks to further their cultivation, extracting souls of their victims, which were then subjected to all sorts of torture to turn them into vengeful spirits, which were in turn be used as the sect’s tools and weapons.

Such practices would have been deemed off-putting even in ancient times, let alone modern times.

The internet was thrown into quite a huge commotion soon enough.

Lu Shanshan read quite a few pieces of what she found on the net about the Guimen Sect, which disgusted her immensely.

All that disgust was clearly written on her pretty face.
