Chapter 452 - The Monstrous Lu Clan (1/2)

That was why he did not think much of Lu Shanshan in the first place, even though everyone knew that the latent powers of the Yunxuan Villa were formidable and backed by the Heavenly Palace.

If Lu Xuan were to still be around, it would not have been the Heavenly Palace backing the Yunxuan Villa, but the other way around with Lu Xuan at the top of the pyramid.

His personal power was so formidable that he alone could be the super backing of any organization out there.

The fact was compounded by the fact that Lu Xuan had fostered a great number of formidable fighters back in the day, and such people were found in forces all over the Region of Huaxia. Many of them were high-ranking members of their respective forces.

There were also quite a number of them taking up positions in the Congress of the Human Alliance.

All of those people were indebted to Lu Xuan. As such, the influence that all of Yunxuan Villa had on others was beyond imagination.

However, that was only in regard to direct influence. Discussions on the matter would’ve never ended if even indirect influences were taken into account. This was because there were rumors saying that the prototype of the basic cultivation methods propagated among the people came from Lu Xuan himself.

Countless civilians looked up to and even worshipped Lu Xuan.

The runic weapons that the Region of Huaxia wielded also came from Lu Xuan. That fact alone spoke volumes of his influence on the military forces.

The trade alliances that Yang Chengsi commanded under the name of the Yunxuan Villa had trillions of yuan worth of resources. With its influence on the entire world, such figures were based off of only incomplete estimations.

All of those facts served as testaments of the extremely fearsome power that the Yunxuan Villa, an organization that had been oddly laying low as of late, commanded.

The Yunxuan Villa was like some ferocious beast lurking deep in the mountains. The mere sight of part of its body was enough to make several people think twice before doing anything rash.

The foundations that Lu Xuan had been laying for many years finally flourished in the present. Even without Lu Xuan around, such power was more than enough to protect the Yunxuan Villa like nothing that had ever been seen before.

For years, nobody dared to cause trouble with the Yunxuan Villa until that man showed up.

It was obvious that he wouldn’t have come alone, given that he dared to even appear in the first place. Yunxuan Villa was like a beast lurking in the dark. Even if he was a congressman of the Congress of the Human Alliance, they would’ve had no problems dealing with him.

That man relied too heavily on the support of an extremely huge organization: the Region of America itself. They even had support from parts of the Region of Europe.

It took several years for the Region of America to unify their opinions and come to a consensus: have the Yunxuan Villa hand over Lu Xuan’s cultivation heritage.

Many formidable fighters emerged under Lu Xuan’s nurturing of cultivation, so much so that only two types of cultivators could be found in Huaxia: the ones that were fostered by Lu Xuan’s line, and then the ones who were not.

That man deemed that the truly terrifying one was the Yunxuan Villa and the monstrous power that they possessed. He thought almost nothing of the family members of Lu Xuan like Lu Shanshan.

He believed they were using Lu Xuan’s status to make them seem better than everyone else.

He believed that as long as the forces that backed him were able to amass enough power to stand against the Yunxuan Villa, the Lu Clan would no longer be worthy of anyone’s attention.

That was what he initially thought when he came to Yunxuan Villa, thinking that they would most likely submit as long as they knew who was behind him.

However, he did not expect things to go this way. He finally realized how wrong he had been the whole time.

While the Yunxuan Villa was founded with Lu Xuan at its core, that didn’t mean that Lu Xuan was the only formidable one in his family.

Lu Shanshan, the newly appointed leader of the family, was hardly seen doing anything noteworthy for the past several years before him. In reality, she was far more powerful than she actually looked. She was even more powerful than Lu Xuan, who was one of the most powerful beings in all of the Region of America.

It took only one strike to severely injure him.

The man couldn’t sense fluctuations of Spiritual Aether within her. He didn’t even sense anything suggesting that her powers were passed by her family. That one simple strike seemed to have broken his ribs.
