Those people all sided with the Human Alliance. Many of them had also submitted to the Heavenly Palace.
The war of orthodoxy was something that occurred between factions in a sect or clan. Extremists were often more despicable than infidels.
Dragon had been training in isolation the whole time to be able to keep up with the mainstream. In the face of such an unprecedented turn of events, however, he had to emerge out of isolation and seek out Lu Xuan.
“Mr. Lu, I’m sure you already know what is happening right now. I wonder how would you propose to take care of the situation,” Dragon said.
The cultivation organizations in the Human Alliance, official or otherwise, all deferred to the Special Task Force.
The Special Task Force, on the other hand, deferred to the Heavenly Palace. Lu Xuan was the supreme leader.
As such, saying that Lu Xuan was capable of deciding the fate of Earth with just a single line was more truthful than one would’ve expected.
Just about nobody from the cultivation circle needed to curry Lu Xuan’s favor.
It was especially so in Dragon’s case. He knew what Lu Xuan planned on doing, as well as the fact that the Human Alliance was practically the Blessed Enclave’s greatest enemy.
The development of events throughout the years meant that Earth had always been dominated by secular governments. Even so, those from the Blessed Enclave intended to return to the old ways. They became something that supersedes said secular governments.
That point alone was deemed intolerable by the Human Alliance. It was also something that did not sit well with Lu Xuan.
War was inevitable, but the ones who were currently involved were nothing more than scouts and vanguards.
Throughout the years, the Human Alliance and the Region of Huaxia gained access to all kinds of methods under Lu Xuan’s guidance, to take on those advent ones that were about to come.
In the event they were at a disadvantage in terms of either numbers or quality, other means of resistance were established.
Over the years, no expense was spared in getting the preparations done.
“What do you think? Are those people doing the right thing by taking over the mountains through sheer force alone?” Lu Xuan then continued, “They had been out of touch with the world for so long that they no longer understood the rule of law. Naturally, we need to deal with them.”
Lu Xuan knew that those from the Blessed Enclave had gotten used to being overlords. Thus, the only way to talk sense into them was to completely subjugate them using sheer force alone.
“Have the Heavenly Palace and the Special Task Force mobilized their forces? Take in anyone who had taken over the mountains, and kill those in charge. No one shall be allowed to escape.”
Lu Xuan then continued plainly, “They genuinely think that they could do whatever they please here, huh?”
Dragon took a look at Lu Xuan and asked, “So, you would be declaring war on them then, Mr. Lu?”
Lu Xuan said, “Declaring war? You sure thought too highly of them.” Relax. Regardless of what happens, they won’t be able to amount to much while I’m still around.”
Dragon nodded and left. It did not take him much time to gather his forces and commenced the operation.
The forces from both the Heavenly Palace and the Special Task Force worked in a joint operation, and the cultivation lineages found throughout the planet were thrown into chaos.
Whether one was from the Heavenly Palace or the Special Task Force, they were all regarded as monsters with powers known well throughout the world. It had been a long time since the two organizations worked in tandem with each other.
However, many people were well aware of what was going on. Many people escaped from the sects and clans where violent power struggles broke out. Many news stories were heard as well.
Those from the Blessed Enclave had a very simple directive: kill all who refused to submit.
Unlike the Celestial Master Path, not every force saw smooth and peaceful transitions of power.
Everyone knew that something big was about to happen.
It was not like how it had been in ancient times, where the sovereign was unable to rein in the powerful cultivation sects and clans.
The strength commanded by the Human Alliance of the current era was never seen before, so much so that one could see it as a godlike regime.
The regime itself did not just command extremely massive legions of cultivators. A supreme god of war was also backing them.
Under such circumstances, cultivators from any cultivation lineages that had been on Earth long enough knew that they needed to submit. Everyone had to defer to the regime and register obediently, regardless of how renowned they were. Furthermore, they had to shoulder the duty of fostering people for the Human Alliance.
Nobody dared to play tricks before that one supreme being.
It would’ve been strange if Lu Xuan sat out on that matter instead.
As such, many saw the joint operation carried out by the Heavenly Palace and the Special Task Force to be perfectly normal. It made sense considering the way Lu Xuan went about things the whole time.
The world of cultivation in the Region of Huaxia was in chaos for quite some time. All 12 military governors from the Heavenly Palace were mobilized. Chiefs of the Special Task Force from all branches also took action, leading countless fighters to the mountains.
Even the military forces were mobilized to serve as a deterrent from afar.
Those from the Blessed Enclave had been too used to seeing themselves as supreme beings. They were unable to sit well with the turn of events.
Conflicts erupted at once.
Naturally, the forces of the Human Alliance grew exponentially thanks to the developments that occurred throughout the years.
While these forces were no match for the Blessed Enclave in terms of the total number of top-notch fighters, they still had a frighteningly large amount of them who were second only to those deemed the best.
It had gotten to a point that over a dozen could be tasked to take out just one. Fighters from all over the world could’ve even been mobilized to teach those from the Blessed Enclave a lesson.
Even if some from the Blessed Enclave who were more powerful than the others were able to escape, they were quickly met with the firepower from the military forces.
The military forces in question were not regular armies as well, as they consisted entirely of cultivators. So many kinds of runic weapons were deployed that even powerful cultivators at the Divine Treasure Realm were quickly overwhelmed and taken care of.
It took only about three days for those from the Blessed Enclave, who threw their weight about like they owned the place, to be rendered totally silent after being completely overwhelmed. They were either killed or taken in for questioning.
There had been powerful fighters in their midst who attempted to resist, but doing so meant that they had to contend with Lu Xuan’s sister, Lu Shanshan, and Lu Xuan’s disciple, Yun Ling’er, who were above those 12 military governors from the Heavenly Palace. Currently, their powers were both second only to Lu Xuan himself.
Even those at the Seventh or Eighth Tier of the Divine Treasure Realm were unable to get past those two. Anyone who tried was overwhelmed.
Once again, the world was shocked for quite some time.
It had been some time since official cultivation forces serving the Human Alliance. Military forces consisting entirely of cultivators were established. Many thought such exercises to be redundant, as there was simply no way for them to resist those top-notch fighters.
Many objected to the exercise, yet it only took a single operation to establish the might of the Human Alliance.
It didn’t take long for the amassed Human Alliance forces to overwhelm those from the Blessed Enclave, so much so that it was hardly worth mentioning.
After all, everyone in the Human Alliance felt safe because they were being protected by such powerful organizations.
Prisons of both the Heavenly Palace and the Special Task Force were filled to the brim by all kinds of powerful cultivators.
It had gotten to the point of requiring the Human Alliance to mobilize two corps worth of units to guard the headquarters of said organizations. This was to prevent anything bad from happening in the event those powerful cultivators were to be able to break free and wreak havoc.
Many fighters from the Blessed Enclave shivered upon hearing the news.
“How dare they…!”
