“The incident with the White Ape King has already alarmed the Inner Palace, and the head of the Inner Palace is extremely angry, demanding its head in memory of our fallen compatriots!” Ming Yueyao said. “The influence of the White Ape King is really too terrible!”

Lu Xuan understood that if this precedent was set, things would spiral out of control. If that happened, and all the kings of monsters had such requests, there was not enough land in Huaxia that could be divided up and given away.

“If the Dragon wasn’t currently shut away recuperating from his injuries, then the Dragon should be at the frontlines!” Ming Yueyao said.

Over many years, the Dragon was able to lead the Agency of Special Affairs because of the fact that he was always rushing to the frontlines to fight in the most dangerous battles.

In the Agency of Special Affairs, the most difficult and most impossible missions—if they were ever completed—would always be the work of the Dragon.

At the same time, she also knew that the Dragon was striving to break through to become an Invincible Vajra in the shortest time possible. When he did so, he would enter Shennongjia to kill the White Ape King.

By all rights, the time they took to break through to the Invincible Vajra level should be around the same, and the difference would at most be less than a month.

Originally, there should have been no rush, but nobody expected the White Ape King to act so irrationally. It wanted to kill ten thousand people a day, which would lead to 300 thousand casualties in a month.

Due to this, it was obvious that they were suddenly in a race against time.

“Please, Mister Lu. Go and save the people near to Shennongjia!” Ming Yueyao pleaded.

“I understand, I’ll go there at once!”

Lu Xuan nodded in acknowledgment.

At the end of the day, this incident was connected to his rebirth. In his past life, the Agency of Special Affairs did not have the runic ammunition he provided, so they were not strong enough to pose a threat to the kings of monsters.

As the kings of monsters did not feel threatened, they were content to stay dormant and hidden, waiting for the moment of their final metamorphosis.

Yet now, very apparently, the White Ape King had come out to take the lead, becoming like a blade that many were using to gauge the response of Huaxia’s officials. It was likely that behind the White Ape King, not only other kings of monsters but also some human factions were waiting in the shadows.

Still, the White Ape King’s development could only get to this level. In this time, on the eve of the advent of the new world, all the kings of monsters were laying low and cultivating. Only it dared to come out and even claimed that its wisdom was not inferior to humans’.

Perhaps it had developed a similar level of intelligence, but it was still greatly lacking in wisdom.

The tall tree that sticks out of the forest is the first to be blown over, and now Lu Xuan was going to be the wind that breaks the White Ape King.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Lu!” Ming Yueyao said, pleasantly surprised. She had not expected Lu Xuan to accept her request, because she did not have a handle on Lu Xuan’s current level of cultivation, and only asked because she had no other choice.

The only person stronger than the Dragon—the unfathomable Lu Xuan—might have a chance of defeating or even killing the White Ape King.

However, following this, a troubled expression surfaced on her face as she continued, “Mister Lu, the Inner Palace has an additional request!”

“Tell me, what’s the request?” Lu Xuan asked.

“They want the battle to be a live broadcast!” Ming Yueyao answered with some awkwardness.

She did not know if Lu Xuan could agree to this request.

Lu Xuan immediately understood what Ming Yueyao was thinking. These monsters could only run rampant like this because, during this period of time, mankind had yet to produce a human who had broken through to the Invincible Vajra level, and nobody could control them.

Even if they used nuclear weapons and razed the entire area, it might be able to kill the White Ape King, but it would be a huge loss for humanity, like trading a million lives to kill several hundred enemies.

The entire Shennongjia region would become a restricted zone for humans.

It was only by defeating or killing this White Ape King in view of the watchful eyes of the public that the root of the anxiety people felt could be relieved.

It would prove that mankind could conquer the planet not only with scientific advancements in weaponry but also by reaching the pinnacle of cultivation.

The purpose of the broadcast was to calm the public, and to a certain extent, it represented the war between monsters and humans.

This was especially important, as while many people in the world of Cultivators knew of the Dragon’s overwhelming and unparalleled power, regular people did not. They only saw how the White Ape King was going unchecked, with humanity not having a candidate strong enough to resist it.

This was the biggest problem now!

All of this definitely would not be solved just by killing the White Ape King!

“Not a problem, but I won’t show my face!” Lu Xuan thought for a moment before answering.

“That’s okay!”

Ming Yueyao said, “I’ll personally film it for you!”

Lu Xuan thought about it, then agreed. If they were going to broadcast the fight live, then they did need someone to film it. An average person would be too weak and frail, and bringing them to Shennongjia was extremely risky.

“Let’s head out without further ado!”

When Lu Xuan and Ming Yueyao boarded a plane and flew close to an airport in a city close to Shennongjia, they realized that another huge incident was happening outside.

While the Huaxia government was still sorting out their plans to deal with the White Ape King, someone else had already made a move.

On the Dark Web, the bounty for the White Ape King had already reached one billion US dollars. Various mercenary groups and bounty hunters had secretly infiltrated Huaxia, entering Shennongjia.

In this short span of time, there had already been attempts to hunt the White Ape King.

Many of them were well-known killers on the Dark Web, and master mercenary corps that stirred up the political situation of certain countries.

A one billion US dollar reward was enough to drive these factions crazy.

Moreover, many of these factions had their own research institutes, and they all wanted to get their hands on these kings of monsters to research and study the secrets to their power.

Even small samples, like a strand of fur or some of its blood, was enough for researchers to uncover many of its secrets. After all, modern science was beyond what people in the past could imagine, and it was even possible to analyze samples at the genetic level.

They heard that there was a bloody battle, and some people even captured footage of mercenaries beating a shameful retreat from Shennongjia, with great losses in their heavy armaments.

After getting ambushed, the White Ape King was naturally not going to let it slide. Claiming that it was enraged by humanity’s shamelessness, it raised the number of people it would kill every day to fifty thousand.

At that moment, the internet was in a complete panic.

People staying in the vicinity of the entire Shennongjia region grew even more worried.

“Damn those bounty hunters and mercenary corps!”

Ming Yueyao cursed through clenched teeth.

In the Agency of Special Affairs, they naturally had to deal with these organizations, so they were not foreign to them, and were, in fact, quite familiar with them.

For money, these organizations would do practically anything. They had crossed swords with the Agency of Special Affairs more than once or twice and had made it onto the Agency’s blacklist long ago.

“Who knows how many innocent people are going to be slaughtered tomorrow because of them!” Ming Yueyao exclaimed.

Lu Xuan shook his head and said, “Relax, it won’t live past tonight.

“That’s my guarantee!”

At this moment, just as the netizens were in an uproar, a live broadcast channel appeared without warning on many different websites.

The name of the live broadcast channel was: Live Broadcast of Killing the White Ape King!

It was simple and crude!

Initially, when people saw the name of the broadcast channel, nobody believed it was real. The most hotly discussed topic right now was the White Ape King.

Right now, any news that even slightly referenced the White Ape King would attract an extremely high amount of views.

It seemed like this live broadcast channel was also trying to ride the hype.

However, when this live broadcast channel was recommended by various websites and pinned to the top of their homepages, everyone boiled with excitement.
