This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Chapter 160 - Shaking the World



Chapter 160: Shaking the World

“That is indeed what I mean,” Ming Yueyao said.

The corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth twitched. He had to admit that he found Ming Yueyao’s thoughts to be… quite childish.

From her perspective, the Deity level beings in all those organizations and sects must have made it to Invincible Vajra level, and they would surely all join forces with the Special Task Force to take out the monster kings for the greater good of humanity.

However, Lu Xuan knew better than anyone that all those organizations and sects had their own agendas.

There were actually quite a good number of people who probably saw the Special Task Force as public enemy number one. As for those monster kings, they did not care about how strong those beasts had become, for the monster kings were but supreme beings in certain regions.

That was probably what some people wanted to see: a messy era where warlords carved out their own territories. It could become a time for them to make something for themselves.

Lu Xuan knew the objectives and missions behind the existence of many such organizations, and they were doing what they did to facilitate the emergence of sects that had long hidden from the world.

Lu Xuan arrived at the Yunxuan Villa outside Fu City, and before long he saw his family members training diligently amidst the flowing waters and lush gardens.

The Lu family’s desire to train had taken a considerable leap after so much had happened.

What surprised Lu Xuan was that he was not the only one who’d achieved great progress the previous night, as everyone else had made considerable progress, too. His mother, Liu Wanrong, had been waiting for an opportunity to make a breakthrough, thus she had been able to make a breakthrough into Level Eight Deity without any problems.

Considering their current rate of progress taken into consideration, breaking through into Level Nine and becoming an Invincible Vajra was only a matter of time.

As for the others, Lu Shanshan was the one who’d made the greatest progress, as she had been able to make a breakthrough into National Guardian level right away. She was currently practicing her arts on the training ground, and she had a serious look on her face.

All the others made some progress as well, but theirs was nowhere near as significant as hers.

Everyone gathered around when they saw Lu Xuan return. They had been cultivating in isolation throughout the night as well, heeding Lu Xuan’s advice and giving it their all to make breakthroughs.

They had only realized something so huge had happened in the world, so much so that it had shaken the whole country, once they’d emerged from isolation.

“Bwudder, there’s so many big monsters out there, couldn’t we just round them up and make a zoo?” Lu Guoguo said, hanging onto Lu Xuan like a sloth.

Everyone laughed when they heard Lu Guoguo’s innocent words, thinking just how pure and innocent she was.

“Alright, I’ll catch one and make it give you a piggyback ride, okay?” Lu Xuan ruffled her hair for a moment.

“Okay. Don’t go back on your word, or I’ll keep a notebook and bully you when you get old!” Lu Guoguo looked serious when she said that, and it sounded rather logical and convincing.

Lu Xuan pinched her cheek gently and said, “Oh man, you think you’re the big boss already, don’t you? Who taught you all that?”

“Bro, those monsters sure look scary. Are they going to become demons or something?” Lu Shanshan recalled the videos she’d watched, all of which had sent chills down her spine.

“Son, I’ve seen people on the net saying that the White Ape King has been running and has killed nearly ten thousand people. I assume that’s true, right?” Lu Tianxiang said.

The thousands of deaths caused by the White Ape King had spread all over the internet while Lu Xuan was on his way home.

The death count was too horrific, and too many people had seen it happen. There was just no covering up the news.

All manner of news and videos had flooded the internet.

There had been many villages that were torn down and massacred altogether, leaving them looking like purgatory on Earth.

The world was shaken to the core.

The entire internet was raging about the news.

Kill that thing and avenge our dead!

We can’t let it run away, even if we have to raze the entire Shennongjia!

We absolutely cannot let the monkey get away!

The internet was filled with hateful words and calls to arms. Huaxia had become a superpower long ago, so it had been a very long time since something like this had happened.

Yet what really shocked people was that an ape was actually capable of killing such vast numbers of people. Regardless of the number of rumors and unconfirmed stories floating around, there were still plenty of people who were oblivious to such supernatural, mystical happenings.

Their daily lives—going to work or school—had taken a hefty toll on them and used up all of their stamina by the end of the day, leaving them with no time or energy to spend looking into such news.

It was only at that moment that they realized that there actually were such monsters as these.

They were surprised by the fact that the ape was capable of causing so many deaths single-handedly. It was worth noting that the most fearsome cases they’d seen in the past several years were just some lunatic cutting down whoever they saw. News of even a dozen deaths already made headlines capable of shocking the country.

One could just imagine how much the current news had impacted the whole of Huaxia society.

At the same time, all manner of information about cultivation had flooded the internet like a volcanic eruption.

While none of that information had anything to do with actual training methods, it nonetheless allowed the masses to learn something about the current cultivation systems.

Common people initially had no knowledge of matters regarding cultivation, and many had only been able to catch a glimpse of cultivation, but only the tip of the iceberg.

They were only developing an awareness of the actual system now: learning that they were nine levels to it and that cultivators were also classified into common cultivators, the Awakened, warriors, spellcasters, and many other branches.

That was happening not only in their country but in many overseas countries as well. Likewise, it was becoming apparent that the governments had been discussing and collaborating in matters regarding cultivation.

The attention of the masses gradually shifted away from the bloody mess that the White Ape King had caused.

I’m telling you guys, I saw someone at my company burst into flames with my own eyes, and then he was gone the very next day. I’m sure the government took the poor guy away!

From the looks of it, seems like other than the Awakened, we would stand a chance at cultivation, too?

This is just great! I’ve dreamed of a day like this for a long time!

But just when everyone was steeped in all that information that seemed to have popped out of nowhere about the world of cultivators, a frightening piece of news came in.

Military forces, consisting of tens of thousands who were garrisoned in E Province, had begun to surround Shennongjia.

It was clear to everyone that the army was about to enter the dense woods of Shennongjia for the express purpose of taking out the White Ape King.

More internal news was leaked. It was said that the White Ape King’s actions had shaken the Inner Palace, and everyone there was determined to kill that ape monster.

The world may have entered the new era of cultivators, but that clearly didn’t mean that a bunch of monsters could just do whatever they pleased.

It became apparent that things were a bit different from how Ming Yueyao had framed them. The powers of the Inner Palace far eclipsed those of the Special Task Force, and the two sides had different ideas about how to go about things on many occasions.

The tens of thousands of troops carried cutting-edge military-grade weapons as they entered Shennongjia to take out the White Ape King.

It was only when the army arrived that they realized that the Shennongjia before them differed from the Shennongjia they used to know.

Shennongjia had already been a mysterious place in Huaxia to begin with, and the restoration of spirit qi had only made the place appear more supernatural.

Ultimately, that massive military force was ambushed inside Shennongjia, and the entire force was wiped out. The news shocked the entire nation.
