Chapter 824: They Are Nobodies
After subduing the three Legendary Monster Kings, Lu Xuan swept the bodies of the monster kings that died by his hands away with a simple wave. The man smirked as he was expecting a huge feast from these bodies.
The man decided to leave the cleaning up to the Earth Federation.
The effect that the battle had brought was starting to show.
“All hail God Lu! All he had to do was show a bit of his strength, and all three monster kings are now his slaves! Incredible!”
“I want to see who dares to look down on us now!”
“Who cares about the Tempest Ocean Realm? They don’t have the right to humiliate us!”
The humans became energetic after witnessing the rise of Lu Xuan. They were finally free from the oppression of the Tempest Ocean Realm.
From that day onwards, the Tempest Ocean Realm would no longer look down on cultivators of Earth.
Lu Xuan had made an example out of the monster kings who had invaded his home to prove that they weren’t weaklings.
Meanwhile, the cultivators and monster kings from the Tempest Ocean Realm reacted completely differently.
With Lu Xuan showcasing his overwhelming power during the fight, he’d proved to everyone that he was the strongest among all Two Flower Realm cultivators, which also meant that he had become one of the strongest in existence that took up only 1% of the world’s population.
Three Flower Realm cultivators from the Tempest Ocean Realm had yet to show themselves. They claimed their rights as ruler of the world as they were busy spending all their resources trying to advance into the Consolidation Realm.
As that was the case, nobody from the Tempest Ocean Realm had the power to defeat Lu Xuan any longer.
That was why the citizens of Tempest Ocean Realm were rendered speechless.
Before the battle, they were in a balanced state where every Two Flower Realm cultivator and the monster king tried to stop each other from getting stronger.
Lu Xuan’s triumphant return broke that balance.
Not a single soul could stop the man.
One of the cultivators from the Tempest Ocean Realm hissed, “Gongsun Wuji! How dare you try and mess with us again!”
The cultivator had admired Lin Ziyi for a long time. Naturally, he held grudges towards Xiaoyao Hou and Gongsun Wuji for the former’s attempt to assassinate the master of the Holy Nun Gate.
News of the assassination attempt spread throughout the globe as soon as it failed, which had forced Xiaoyao Hou into hiding.
Lin Ziyi had many admirers, and all of them had vowed to take revenge for her.
The only problem was that Xiaoyao Hou was too powerful for them to handle and that he was nowhere to be found. They shifted their attention towards his disciple, Gongsun Wuji, instead.
“Are you guys dumb? If we let that man continue to grow, Earth would be free of our control one day. Do you guys still not know what kind of person Lu Xuan is? He’s the type that ignores other people and does whatever he wants. He sees us as nothing more than enemies that are here for Earth’s resources. Do you think we can befriend him?”
Just like some saw Gongsun Wuji as a thorn in their eyes, there were also those who were friends with Xiaoyao Hou.
“He is just a piece of trash from a lower-class world! What makes you think that he has the power to face the whole Tempest Ocean Realm?”
“He is right! We have a dozen cultivators in the Three Flower Realm with us! Any one of them is enough to take Lu Xuan down without breaking a sweat!”
“I don’t care what beef you have with Xiaoyao Hou and his disciple, but Lu Xuan is our common enemy! He’s the enemy of Tempest Ocean Realm! Unless we take him out of the picture, we can never conquer Earth! As long as he still lives, the humans on Earth will never bow to us!”
Based on the conversation between members of the Independent Faction, it was clear that they saw Lu Xuan as their biggest threat.
That was the expected reaction as Lu Xuan was so strong that he could easily change Earth’s citizens’ minds.
Even though the cultivators and monster kings of Tempest Ocean Realm had come to an agreement, they were secretly planning their revenge.
The situation could’ve been described as calm before the storm.
Lu Xuan brought the bodies of powerful monster kings back to Yunxuan Villa, with the three remaining monster kings following closely behind him. Even though the monster kings were dead, their corpses still gave out powerful auras that normal people wouldn’t even think of eating.
If a normal human were to eat the monster’s flesh, the abnormal amount of energy would cause their insides to explode.
Dragon, who’d caught word of Lu Xuan’s return, was already waiting for him.
“Congratulations on your victory, Mr. Lu.”
Hints of relief could be seen on Dragon’s face. The most important thing to him was Lu Xuan’s safe return.
As the pillar of Earth Federation, if Lu Xuan were to fall, then the organization would soon follow.
Perhaps it was because Dragon was a kind person who always thought of the well-being of every life on Earth. He was glad to witness Lu Xuan’s overwhelming power and safe return.
“Did I not tell you that these people are no threat to me?” Lu Xuan smiled as he waved his arm.
“The President wanted me to tell you that he’s thankful for your support.” Dragon was referring to Lu Xuan’s act of giving Purple Rat King to the Earth Federation.
With the monster now serving the Earth Federation, the organization finally possessed a Flower Realm monster in their arsenal. Even if the monster was only in the One Flower Realm, it was still stronger than most.
The extra power made a huge difference, and the Earth Federation felt deeply grateful towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded. The Earth Federation was a reflection of himself. As the organization grew, he would grow along with it as well. This would’ve given him many chances to do many things. He could even prevent what had happened to humans in his past life.
Lu Xuan replied, “I’m a member of the Earth federation. He doesn’t have to thank me for contributing.”
Dragon smiled, but his expression turned serious immediately as he said, “Indeed. You need to be careful as well. From what we have gathered, Tempest Ocean Realm’s cultivators and monster kings are preparing for something. We believe they are forming an alliance to avenge their fallen comrades.”
“An alliance? That’s to be expected.” Lu Xuan nodded, seemingly unfazed by this news.
Lu Xuan wasn’t worried about any retribution because he knew that not a single soul on Earth could rival his power. The Three Flower Realm cultivators in Tempest Ocean Realm might threaten him, but they were all busy with their training and would not descend onto Earth anytime soon.
As for the alliance formed by a vast number of cultivators and monster kings, Lu Xuan wasn’t even fazed by their number.
It was just as Lu Xuan had said in the past; if an advantage in numbers could win a war, he would’ve given up cultivation a long time ago. He smirked and said, “They are nobodies. I won’t even bother worrying about their plan.”
