News from the previous night shook the entire world of cultivators in the southwest.
Over 90 percent of the sect's main combat forces were rallied down to Min Province, and they were all wiped out.
None believed the news when it first came out.
While the Soul-snatcher Sect had indeed been forced out to the southwest by the clans and sects of the Middle Land, the sect had long grown into a monster during its centuries in the southwest.
The sect had, no doubt, become the topmost force to be found in the southwest, being especially influential in Dian Province, making them almost the only sect worth mentioning.
With the exception of the Dian Province's Special Task Force, all other cultivation forces were under the sect's influence.
Everyone knew that cultivation forces at Min Province were not especially powerful, to begin with, with the only one worth noting being the Southern Shaolin Temple.
Yet, over 90 percent of the sect's fighting forces ended up wiped out altogether.
Everyone thought the news was some kind of prank.
They wondered just what kind of forces were in the Min Province that allowed such a feat to be achieved.
The only possibility anyone could think of was that the big boss of the Special Task Force was going all out. That was the only way something so fearsome could have happened.
However, the entire world of cultivators in Sichuan was shocked when the news was confirmed, and they actually wondered if the big boss had actually made such a move personally.
While that big boss was stationed in the Capital City, his movements would attract the attention of all cultivators in the world.
There were some who thought that he was out to clean up the world of cultivators, and the entire world of cultivators down at the southwest was shocked in a single night.
However, yet another piece of news was soon heard—the main force out to invade Min Province was wiped out by that province's Special Task Force.
It was said that the man who did so was but a consultant to the Min Province's Special Task Force.
Everyone was puzzled right away, as they had no idea since when such a formidable figure had emerged in Min Province. It had also been seemingly out of nowhere.
One who was formidable enough to wipe out over 90 percent of the elites found in the sect...
Everyone was baffled.
Just when the cultivators were busy trying to make out who that consultant of the province's Special Task Force consultant was, through all manner of channels they had access to, there emerged some more news. It was said that that consultant intended to come all the way down to Dian Province and finish off the Soul-snatcher Sect personally.
That was what caused all of those formidable to gather in the middle of the night, with quite a number of top-notch cultivators of the southwest among them.
Everyone knew that the Special Task Force was especially on guard against that sect. One could have even said that both forces were enemies. If it had not been for the Special Task Force being understaffed, they would have probably long taken out the Soul-snatcher Sect, which had been out doing sorts of evil deeds for many years.
Everyone wanted to come and see for themselves who that consultant from Min Province actually was.
They wondered if the person was some formidable fighter who had emerged not long ago from some extremely hidden clan or sect in Min Province.
All of those cultivators traveled throughout the night, arriving at the foot of the mountain where the Soul-snatcher Sect was, waiting for that legendary consultant of the Min Province's Special Task Force to show up.
If there were someone so legendarily formidable, then even the ones down at the southwest needed to rethink how to get along with their province's Special Task Force despite the consultant being from Min Province.
Everyone knew that the Special Task Force operated as one entity regardless of the branch, and it would have probably taken only a single order to mobilize someone of such caliber from Min Province down to the southwest.
Somewhere further away from the group, a group of Special Task Force members in black uniforms were setting up defensive perimeters.
One of them was a plain-looking man of medium build.
That man emanated sharp, intimidating aura, which was completely on par with those top-notch fighters in that massive group of southwest cultivators.
Any cultivator from the southwest would be able to tell with one look who that man was. He was none other than the Chief of Dian Province's Special Task Force—Yun Feiying.
"The line is all set, Chief. Absolutely no one from the Soul-snatcher Sect will be able to get away this time."
A thin man appeared behind Yun Feiying, who was casting his gaze far off into the distance.
"Yeah."
Yun Feiying nodded. His gaze looked sharp and excited at the same time. It was finally time to finish off that cancerous Soul-snatcher Sect once and for all.
They had always had the potential threats from this sect looming over their heads since he became the Chief of the Dian Province's Special Task Force.
He was at National Level and sported power on par with those of the three formidable ones from that sect. But still, he was only one person, and there were three of them from the sect.
One could have imagined just how huge the pressure had been.
If it had not been for the Special Task Force's headquarters backing them up, he had no idea what the sect would have done.
And, at the moment, it was finally time to get rid of the sect once and for all.
"Chief, we've spread the news of that man coming down to the southwest far and wide. What should we do if he is irritated? He's not really from the Special Task Force, after all, " that skinny man asked.
Yun Feiying answered snappily, "I'll deal with him if he's out to look for trouble. Unlike how things are at Min Province, it's not just a day or two that the Special Task Force doesn't maintain total influence and control over matters here. Those cultivators of the southwest were doing whatever they fancied, knowing that the big boss couldn't just leave the Capital City without a good reason. It's better now than ever to show everyone that even without the big boss, the Special Task Force is still capable of handling ourselves just fine.
"We have to do this."
Yun Feiying cast his gaze far away. It was he who spread the news that attracted the mass gathering of southwest cultivators. He intended to shock all of them by using Lu Xuan.
He had no idea what the consequences of doing so would be, but the way things were had forced his hand in the issue.
Dian Province was connected to Southeast Asia, and things were a lot messier there than in other provinces in the country. The world of cultivators there was very diverse, so much so that one could claim that the province was a hotspot for all manner of demons.
All sorts of bad people were found there.
There were even warlords and drug smugglers at the border working together, which put the Special Task Force in quite a predicament.
It was only when Lu Xuan got to the foot of the Soul-snatcher Sect's mountain that he found just how many cultivators had gathered. However, they kept their distance well enough to say that they were not out to ambush him.
But then again, Lu Xuan had nothing to fear even if that was their intention. Given the state of being he was at the moment, he simply had nothing to fear at all.
"The news was leaked."
Lu Xuan knew immediately that the news of his arrival had been leaked.
While he remained calm on the surface, he was still feeling rather irked deep down.
There was definitely only a handful of people who knew that he was going to show up, and only the Special Task Force had the ability to spread the news far and wide in just a single night.
Furthermore, Lu Xuan found that there was more than one National Guardian level fighter on site. There would not have been so many top-notch figures gathered in one place if the news had not been spread far and wide.
He was even able to figure out why the Special Task Force had done what they did—they were using him as a shock factor.
Although he realized why they did what they did, he was still somewhat irked.
But then again, he had no fear of Qiu Zhen finding out and preparing for Lu Xuan. The only thing he was concerned about was if Qiu Zhen would run after hearing the news.
He had taken a flight overnight straight to Dian Province with the expressed purpose of annihilating every last man of the Soul-snatcher, so as to completely wipe the sect off of the face of the planet.
