The clan is done for.
That was the only thought everyone had in their minds at the moment.
With Luo Zihong dead, everyone else from the Luo Clan was little more than breathing corpses by then. However, it was not Lu Xuan who went on to finish the job; it was a bunch of fighters of the underworld led by Yang Chengsi.
Yang Chengsi was, nonetheless, an Invincible Vajra himself, so he had little problem cleaning up all the others from the Luo Clan at the moment.
The guests of the clan watched the commotion taking place at the side. All of them were trembling in fear, concerned if Yang Chengsi and his people would be so hyped that those people would kill them as well.
It was fortunate that Yang Chengsi apparently knew his bounds. To them, it was but another clean-up job.
Lu Xuan watched from the sidelines, not bothering to do anything to stop his underlings. It was precisely his intent to use the guests to spread a message: any who dared to mess with him should be prepared to end up dead.
No one would be spared.
Lu Xuan never bothered having mercy on the losing party, because he believed that if he were to be the one losing on that day, his ending would have been just as grim and gruesome.
None of his family members and followers would be able to survive.
The guests of the Luo Clan were gradually able to see what Lu Xuan was up to. If they were to still remain oblivious to the message Lu Xuan was trying to send, they might as well have been blind.
“Is he trying to warn us?”
“Yet another clan taken out altogether. This is already the third clan with long histories and influence being eradicated altogether by Lu Xuan.”
“I never thought someone of his age would be this brutal. He’s asking for trouble, and someday, he’s gonna get it.”
Some were murmuring among themselves, not daring to discuss their thoughts out loud in front of Lu Xuan.
“Just how did he manage to get this powerful?”
Luo Ying, who was watching everything that transpired in her clan digitally from somewhere far away, looked incredibly grim.
She was supposed to be waiting for Lu Xuan’s arrival at her clan’s base, and she was supposed to humiliate Lu Xuan for all that he had put her through all those times.
Yet, she had a hitch that something would go south the day before, which prompted her to leave the clan.
If they were to succeed, she would have still been able to reap the rewards nonetheless.
But if they were to fail…
Even if her clan members were to fail, she thought it would have simply ended up with Lu Xuan being able to escape the trap laid out by her clansmen, with a whole group of Invincible Vajras being unable to prevent his escape.
However, that scenario would be sufficiently terrifying nonetheless, as it would have served to say that Lu Xuan’s powers far eclipsed that of common Invincible Vajras. In turn, this would have meant that the Luo Clan would still be in grave danger.
But then again, she would still be able to contact the other clans and come up with plans to take on Lu Xuan again.
Things at the moment, however, were nothing like what she had expected. Lu Xuan’s combat prowess was far more terrifying than what she had initially anticipated.
Not only was Lu Xuan able to easily break through the trap she laid, but he was also able to beat every single person who took him on. All of that showed just how unnervingly terrifying Lu Xuan’s combat prowess, which clearly surpassed that of common cultivators, truly was.
It looked as if Lu Xuan was no longer an Invincible Vajra. The combat prowess he demonstrated meant that dozens of Invincible Vajras needed to be hired before they stood a chance of killing Lu Xuan for sure.
However, those few that the clan hired had practically exhausted all connections that the clan had.
No one else knew better than Invincible Vajras themselves. They knew all too well just how difficult it would be to trap and kill one of their kind.
While it was entirely possible to gang up on and defeat an Invincible Vajra, killing them would still be unbelievably difficult.
Letting one such being escape would mean having to face severe retaliation.
As such, few would agree to take on such a job.
But then again, that was how things should have worked. Lu Xuan showed everyone through his actions that everyone had been wrong when it came to him.
Anyone who thought that killing Invincible Vajras would be difficult was simply coming from people who weren’t strong enough to do so.
What Lu Xuan demonstrated made it seem like killing Invincible Vajras was a feat as easy as killing chickens.
Every single Invincible Vajra around was a cunning, scheming mastermind of sorts. Being able to endure all that time to eventually become Invincible Vajras meant that almost all of them were considered the best of the best, and none would be easily trapped or set up.
Setting up yet another trap just to kill Lu Xuan would be near impossible.
Luo Ying gritted her teeth at that thought, a fiery glow of hate and frustration seen in her eyes.
Luo Ying, who previously had her way with things, was never able to have anything go according to plans ever since she met Lu Xuan.
She suffered a huge loss right there and then, so much so that even her most powerful backing—the Luo Clan—ended up eradicated on the spot.
The Luo Clan was no more, and every single clansman was marked for death. Anybody who managed to survive the slaughter would have needed to change their names and lay low. All their past glories would be out of the window for good.
No one was able to afford to get on Lu Xuan’s bad side, which meant that no one would have dared to take those survivors in.
What happened to the Qiu Clan before was an example unlike anything else. All the other large cultivation forces behaved like sharks who smelled blood, pouncing onto their prey and picking everything that belonged to the dead clan clean.
Even the other clans that belonged to the Taichu Group would probably not show any mercy to the Luo Clan.
Luo Ying then realized all of a sudden that Lu Xuan actually looked at the camera. His eyes felt like blades sharp enough to pierce through time and space.
“Sh*t!”
Goosebumps spread across her almost instantly, making her shudder.
This was despite being very far away from the Luo Clan.
But then again, if an Invincible Vajra were to be determined to get to her, she could try and hide in some obscure corners and still end up dead.
“No, I can’t die here. I can’t die here!” Luo Ying muttered in a panic and fled right away.
The safety of her current place was already compromised. The sixth sense of an Invincible Vajra was frighteningly accurate, after all.
She knew just how impeccable Lu Xuan’s senses were, so she dared not linger any longer.
She ran away the very second she realized what was happening.
Lu Xuan came to the place she previously was before long and saw what was on the monitors.
“You really know how to run.”
Lu Xuan narrowed his gaze, which harbored extreme ill will.
He was able to tell that the trap was Luo Ying’s handiwork.
He knew Luo Ying for quite a long time back in his past life, and they were very familiar with each other. He knew all too well how she operated, so he had no problem analyzing her handiwork in the setup.
However, Luo Ying was cowardly enough to be able to sense what Lu Xuan was able to pull next, enabling her to run every single time.
Her perception was so keen that it baffled even Lu Xuan. Her senses were far more accurate than even his.
“No matter. It’s just one less body on the pile, after all,” Lu Xuan muttered coldly.
He was determined to kill her, but he also knew that Luo Ying was not high on his priority list at the moment.
While he wanted to kill Luo Ying very much and to tie up those loose ends once and for all, Luo Ying was, nonetheless, not that much of a threat to him. She was but a nuisance who kept bothering him every now and then, getting on his nerves whenever she did.
Lu Xuan saw no need to be hung up with locating her, as doing so would be time-consuming.
The news that Luo Zihong and three other Invincible Vajras had been killed spread like wildfire before long.
The entire nation was shaken by the news. It had not been long since the Luo Clan celebrated Luo Zihong’s breakthrough into Invincible Vajra Level when the news of his death came.
There was no way the news would be less than shocking.
Every single clansman died alongside their Great Ancestor. With the exception of some who serve them being able to escape the slaughter, everyone from the clan was killed.
The world of cultivators was thoroughly shaken for quite a while.
