Seeing the unanimous sentiment online, Guo Linlu sneered inwardly, wondering how Jiang Yixing would manage to make a comeback this time.
Guo Linlu occasionally encounters Foundation Establishment cultivators due to his work. The Foundation Establishment stage is very rare in the B City Alliance, and there has been no growth for a long time. Most of the existing Foundation Establishment cultivators are also middle-aged.
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang, as two Foundation Establishment cultivators who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Guo Linlu recalled the huge sum of money he received before he received the mission.
Now that Jiang Yixing's reputation has been damaged, the beneficiaries are those veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators. Guo Linlu's lips curled slightly. Let these Foundation Establishment cultivators fight like dogs; none of them are good people anyway.
Guo Linlu looked at his increased balance and nodded in satisfaction.
Then a call came into his cell phone, and Guo Linlu hurriedly answered, "Hello, Old Huang."
"Look what you've done! What's going on online?!"
"What? I uploaded the video, and the comments all seem normal."
"Normal my foot!" Old Huang was furious. It turned out that all his actions had benefited Jiang Yixing!
Guo Linlu reopened the forum, utterly bewildered. His pupils dilated in shock. What was going on?
In just half an hour, the sentiment on the forum completely reversed.
Guo Linlu clicked on a post on the homepage—
"I knew Jiang Yixing wasn't that kind of person!"
"My goodness, the cultivators here are truly blessed to receive guidance from Jiang Yixing."
"Jiang Yixing is too amazing! How can he know everything?"
Guo Linlu immediately sensed something was wrong. After checking carefully, he discovered that shortly after he posted the message, the alliance had released a new message.
As if they were fighting against themselves, they also released a video. The video title still quoted Guo Linlu's own words, but with an added question mark: "Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang disregard human life and are passively shirking their duties?"
The video content provides a good explanation for this question mark.
Guo Linlu clicked on the video, and after watching it, his mind went blank. How...how could they have recorded something?
Could it be that they were prepared all along? Or did they see through my trickery?
Both of these points made Guo Linlu feel embarrassed.
The discussion in the comments section was heated:
"Who is this cultivator spouting nonsense? How dare he speak to a Foundation Establishment cultivator like that?"
"He is so disrespectful."
"It's crystal clear in this video! The person who posted this earlier, come out here!"
"Jiang Yixing is such a nice person! He teaches people with such dedication!"
"Yes, it's not like what was said in the original post at all!"
"I've saved this video. I'm going to watch it carefully. Did anyone notice the talisman Jiang Yixing drew? Is this the current level of talisman masters?"
"As a legitimate talisman master, I can say that I have never seen anyone create talismans out of thin air."
"And her swordsmanship is crisp and clean, a true skill honed over many years."
"Who remembers that Jiang Yixing is only 22 years old!"
"I admire Jiang Yixing even more! Is Jiang Yixing a god?!"
Guo Linlu trembled inwardly; public opinion was completely out of control.
Old Huang had already hung up the phone in a fit of rage. The Huang family had been cultivators for three generations, and their foundation was immeasurable. He was in for a bad time.
Guo Linlu cursed inwardly, when his phone vibrated again.
He quickly answered the call, but it was from the Alliance: "Guo Linlu, we need to investigate you now..."
The phone slipped from Guo Linlu's hand, his hand trembling uncontrollably.
Zhou Xinghe called Jiang Yixing again to report on the current situation online.
"Sister Yixing, you're amazing! How did you know he was recording? Oh right, you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you must have noticed."
Zhou Xinghe explained himself with a chuckle.
Jiang Yixing recalled something that had been bothering him: "How many cultivators in the alliance are there at the level of Ye Dong and Guo Linlu?"
Zhou Xinghe recalled for a moment, "I heard they were one of the stronger teams. Guo Linlu is 30 this year, so his skill level should be better than most people."
"How many people do you usually send in a team to capture a demon in the mid-stage of Qi Refining?"
"Normally there are 4-5 people, with melee fighters and mages as the standard configuration."
Zhou Xinghe didn't ask Jiang Yixing why he was asking these questions, but instead told him everything he knew.
After hanging up with Zhou Xinghe, Jiang Yixing called Gu Chun.
In the end, we still have to ask Gu Chun about this matter.
"You mean, you think it's strange that the cultivators' level is so low?" Gu Chun understood Jiang Yixing's question.
"That's right, humans are far weaker than demonic beasts in combat. Moreover, the art of talismans seems to have been interrupted in its transmission."
Gu Chun paused for a moment, organizing his words, "Nowadays, a large number of inheritances and cultivation techniques are completely in the hands of aristocratic families, especially the four major families. Their level may be closer to that of the Immortal Realm."
Jiang Yixing roughly understood where the problem lay: it wasn't that the inheritance had been broken, but that ordinary people couldn't access real talisman techniques.
Similarly, other inheritances are also difficult for ordinary people to access. If the four major families control the resources and keep them to themselves, it is not hard to explain why the level of monsters is so much higher than that of humans.
Demon cultivators rely entirely on their own strength to cultivate. The stronger their physical body, the more spiritual energy they can absorb, and the stronger they become.
Humans are animals that cultivate themselves through wisdom. The experience of their predecessors has been refined through generations. It may not be so important in the realm of immortals, but in this era of scarce spiritual energy, they cannot move forward without the inheritance.
"The alliance hasn't made a move?"
“They have many trump cards and a complex network of connections, making it difficult to shake their foundation.” Gu Chun dropped a bombshell, “I suspect that Ji Fu’s true identity is in the Xie family.”
