nYun Feiying did not bear much of a grudge, as he was also a Cultivator, so he was well aware of what kind of status people in the top tier of strength were given in the system of Cultivators.

nEspecially when it came to Divine levels, who could withstand attacks from firearms, the position they enjoyed was scarily high.

nPeople like these naturally could not be insulted!

nIf it was him, and a Baodan Grandmaster wanted to scheme against him, he would probably have killed them in a single slap. Even a martial arts legend would meet the same fate.

nAs such, he could understand why Lu Xuan did what he did. After all, he had concocted a scheme against Lu Xuan, exposing Lu Xuan to the others. If Lu Xuan was slightly weaker than he was, he might have been beaten to death by Qiu Zhen.

nUnder these circumstances, he got away with only taking a palm strike, which he could recover from in a month of rest, so he really got lucky this time.

n“It’s fine, help me go get treatment. Receiving a palm strike in exchange for cowing the Xinan region with his power is still a good deal for me!”

nYun Feiying struggled to get back on his feet, and he felt much better after spitting out another mouthful of fresh blood.

nHe felt like he needed to take time off to rest, but indeed, Lu Xuan had not been lying when he said that he had already shown mercy.

nOn the night of the same day, Lu Xuan had quickly returned to Xiamen.

nNews of the results of this battle was already spreading across all of Huaxia.

nOr to put it another way, the Agency of Special Affairs had specially announced this news, to inform the world of Cultivators throughout Huaxia that the Soul-snatcher Sect that had taken over Dian Province was no more.

nAnd, they had been eliminated by a force from the Agency of Special Affairs!

nAt this time, all the Cultivator factions within Huaxia were stunned.

nIt must be known that the Soul-snatcher Sect was no average faction, and it was a huge superpower that had tyrannized Xinan and lorded over Dian Province.

nEven in Huaxia as a whole, while they were not in the top tier, they could be listed as one of the first-rate factions.

nSuch a sect was actually eliminated by one man.

nEveryone knew that the Agency of Special Affairs was using this news to instill shock in all the Cultivators. This was not just limited to the heroes of Xinan, but also the masters in hiding throughout the world of Cultivators of Huaxia.

nAs the revival of the world grew more and more pronounced, the strength of these masters was rapidly increasing. Along with this rapid increase in strength, their resistance to firearms would also gradually grow stronger.

nNeedless to say, they would also gradually see the government as less of a threat, and these individuals could be said to be itching to make a move.

nNow, through the uprooting of the Soul-snatcher Sect, the warning to these people was clear. Even though they were growing stronger at a rapid pace, the Agency of Special Affairs would grow in strength at an even faster speed.

nIt was a veiled threat, and everyone could see it, but these kinds of threats could still be very effective.

nWith the ever-present threat posed by Lu Xuan, many people decided to suppress their own ambition for the moment, as much as they wanted to make a move.

nThe first thing Lu Xuan did upon returning to his home in Xia City was to take his family to a newly developed villa property close to the residential community they were living in up till now.

nHis father, Lu Tianxiang, and mother, Liu Wanrong, were not against him buying a villa.

nAfter all, the boom in real estate prices in recent years was still fresh in their minds, and if one could afford to buy a new house, it did not make sense not to do it.

nThis was especially true for his father, Lu Tianxiang. Even though he had started his own cultivation and become a Cultivator, his basic way of thinking was still that of a regular person, and he believed in buying houses as an investment.

nHe was also keeping to his normal schedule of going working and resting hours.

nEven though money was no issue to Lu Xuan right now, he was still unwilling to give up on his regular job.

nLu Xuan also chose to leave him to his own devices. After all, that was his father’s own life, and Lu Xuan could not possibly force Lu Tianxiang to give up what he wanted to do.

nIn any case, even in the golden age of Cultivators in his past life, many people kept their jobs even as they cultivated themselves.

nIt was only because there were a small number of Cultivators now that they were currently viewed as a rarity. When the world had gone through another stage of recovery, and spirit qi gradually became richer, regular people would also participate in cultivation to some degree.

nWhen that happened, they would still need to go to work, or the system keeping the country running would collapse. Cultivation was costly, and not everyone could live off cultivation without working.

nHe had seen many cases of this happening, so Lu Xuan did not find it strange!

nHis parents and his younger sister, Lu Shanshan, were taking his other younger sister, Guoguo, to look at all the villas.

nLu Xuan sat on one of the sofas placed to the side for people to rest, as he flipped through his handphone in boredom, reading the news.

nOut of the blue, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming towards him.

n“Mister Lu, what a coincidence, I never expected to be able to meet you here!”

nSomeone spoke to him in a pleasantly surprised voice.

nLu Xuan looked up, and saw a middle-aged man in a trim Western suit, sporting a goatee, running towards him with an expression of surprise.

n“Yang Chengsi? What are you doing here?” Lu Xuan asked, shooting Yang Chengsi a look of suspicion.

nIt had already been more than a month since he last saw Yang Chengsi.

nStill, Yang Chengsi was obviously extremely thrilled to be able to see Lu Xuan in this place.

nNot too far behind him, a group of men and women dressed in workplace attire followed behind him. One could tell at a glance that they were professional elites.

nAt this time, some of them were looking curiously at Lu Xuan, wondering who he might be, to actually make their chairman run over so excitedly to meet him.

nMoreover, from the looks of it, the chairman was actually trying to butter him up.

nThey could not imagine the background of this young man. Could he be some kind of legendary son or grandson of a top tier prominent superpower?

n“Mister Lu, this property is developed by one of the real estate companies within my organization!” Yang Chengsi hurriedly explained.

nLu Xuan looked at Yang Chengsi, somewhat surprised. Compared to the night when they met back then, when Yang Chengsi had an immoral look, he was completely different now.

nOn the surface, he was a chairman of a company, but in truth, his real identity was the Master of the Min Province Coalition of the Woods.

nYang Chengsi also personally helmed a very large financial organization, and in terms of his net worth, he could be compared to Ling Huang.

nThis was one of the main important reasons he was able to become the Master of the Min Province Coalition of the Woods.

n“Oh, so that’s how it is!”

nLu Xuan nodded in understanding.

n“Mister Lu, are you here today to buy a villa?” Yang Chengsi quickly continued, “We just released this property to the public, and in this property, there is a very nice stand-alone three-story villa at the center of the lake. Initially, I was planning to reserve it for myself, but if Mister Lu would like to have it, I’ll let you have it as a gift!”

n“You’re giving it to me? The price of these villas isn’t cheap!” Lu Xuan said with a humorless smile.

nFrom what he understood, the villas in this development cost as least 20 million, and the stand-alone villas in the center of the lake that Yang Chengsi referred to could be expected to cost over a hundred million.

n“Money is no issue. I just need to earn some more when I’m done spending it!” Yang Chengsi hurriedly declared.

n“Ever since Mister Lu saved my life from the hands of that Japanese fellow, I’ve been thinking about how to repay my debt of gratitude. Since you are looking for a house, I’ll give it to you to express my thanks!”

nYang Chengsi was certainly well aware of the value of the villa he was giving away, but if he could have Lu Xuan as an ally, it would all be worth it.

n

nThis was especially true after the news he heard the night before, which left him completely shocked and kept him awake for most of the night.
