The viewers in the live broadcast room were silent, their eyes fixed on the screen, eagerly awaiting news of what had happened in the荒殿 (Huang Dian).
Meanwhile, Huang Wuya's expression was extremely grim. He couldn't fathom how Jian Chen had managed to show up at the headquarters of his 荒殿, a mere online broadcast of his own domain, only to cleave off the top floor of the main hall with a single sword strike and issue threats, completely disregarding his authority.
"Jian Chen! How dare you trespass into my 荒殿 and treat my 荒殿 as if it were empty!"
Huang Wuya transmitted his voice, his heart seething with anger. His 荒殿 was, after all, one of the ancient overlord-level forces. Although their Heavenly realm powerhouses were all in slumber, it was not a place Jian Chen could simply barge into at will.
"Retire immediately! Do not force my 荒殿 to declare war on your 剑阁 (Jian Ge)!"
"Heh, declare war? Do you, Huang Wuya, have the guts?"
Jian Chen sneered, his voice directly transmitted through the livestream to everyone's ears.
"What's going on? What war? What just happened?"
Someone asked curiously, utterly bewildered.
"It must be a telepathic transmission. The Hall Master of 荒殿 was communicating with the intruder, but the intruder likely showed no respect and spoke out loud."
Someone explained, being a martial artist themselves, they understood these techniques.
"Telepathic transmission? Is there something we shouldn't hear? The intruder forcefully entered 荒殿, why didn't the Hall Master retaliate? Why is there no movement at all?"
"Perhaps the intruder is too powerful. 荒殿 might be afraid of losing face if they can't win. I think that voice sounds like the Sect Master of 剑阁."
Someone chimed in, shocking many. Jian Chen, the Sect Master of 剑阁 and an overlord-level powerhouse, was unexpectedly present during this live broadcast, alongside another overlord-level expert!
"Heh, the Sect Master of 剑阁's temper was famously upright and just in ancient times. He couldn't stand any crooked or evil practices."
Someone commented, identifying themselves as a reawakened martial artist.
"Indeed. There are things we cannot say for fear of 荒殿's retribution. Watching you ordinary folks being manipulated by 荒殿 these past few days has been truly pitiful."
At this moment, some reawakened forces also spoke out. Previously, no one had stepped forward, and they could only watch 荒殿 act outrageously, feeling indignant but too afraid to speak. This was because 荒殿's strength was formidable, and they were terrified.
But things were different now. With the Sect Master of 剑阁 making a bold move, their courage swelled, and they began to voice their long-held grievances.
"Heh, 荒殿's previous territory was south of Great Qin, but after the demonic beasts revived, 荒殿 relocated to central Great Qin. The southern region borders the sea and is teeming with demonic beasts, while central Great Qin has only a few scattered demonic beasts, or even none at all."
"Alas, you modern people are too easily fooled. But then again, you haven't experienced the ancient times, so you don't understand the dangers of this world."
Upon seeing the comments from various reawakened forces on the screen, everyone was stunned. They seemed to understand, and their hearts sank.
So, everything 荒殿 had advertised online was fake? They had been deceived?
Those who had harbored doubts about 荒殿 after watching the videos of the battle in the capital were in a better state; they merely felt a pang of self-reproach for wrongly accusing Great Qin.
But the die-hard fans of 荒殿 were utterly bewildered, unable to process it for a long time. Was 荒殿 deceiving them? Were those "young idols" all fake?
How could this be possible?
"Everyone, don't be misled. 荒殿 is a top-tier force. Would they bother deceiving us ordinary people? I think someone must be jealous of 荒殿's success."
Qiao Luobi hastily interjected, his heart in a panic. His future was tied to 荒殿; if 荒殿's image collapsed, his own future would be ruined.
However, this time, very few people responded to Qiao Luobi, and many directly unleashed profanities and curses.
Huang Wuya, witnessing this scene, grew anxious and filled with rage. The drum of exposure had been beaten, and Jian Chen's actions had given these reawakened forces the courage to expose all of 荒殿's wrongdoings.
In this way, let alone gathering the Dragon of Destiny in the future, 荒殿 might not even be able to contend for a shred of destiny, becoming even more pathetic than in ancient times.
"Sect Master Jian, don't push me. Retreat quickly, or 荒殿 will immediately initiate war!"
Huang Wuya urgently transmitted, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Pushing you? Heh, Huang Wuya, I didn't expect your 荒殿's thick skin to grow after slumbering through an ancient era. With the revival of demonic beasts, you chose not to participate, but instead incited other sects to merely observe, and you coldly ignored multiple pleas for help during the battle in the capital!"
Jian Chen's icy voice rang out, each word sending shockwaves through the hearts of everyone watching the livestream.
"Do you truly believe that with the human race's powerhouses yet to awaken, no one will deal with your 荒殿's actions? What about the grand formation of heaven and earth, or the defense of the human race? Huang Wuya, it's understandable that your 荒殿 wants to contend for destiny, but to deceive the human race with such tactics and deliberately erase the contributions of others is utterly shameless!"
"What did your 荒殿 do during the battle of the Tian family? You only sent some people to cheer and did nothing else. Do you truly believe that the matter of 荒殿's alliance with the Tian family is over now that the Tian family has been destroyed?"
With every word from Jian Chen, Huang Wuya's heart churned with unease and terror. He had initially believed that with the Heavenly realm powerhouses still in slumber, his overlord-level strength would be unmatched.
But if the Heavenly realm powerhouses were to awaken, let alone the mighty figures of the human race, even the ancestors of his 荒殿 would punish him for his actions.
The livestream continued. Seeing this, a thought flashed through Huang Wuya's mind. He ordered the livestream equipment to be destroyed, preventing further broadcasting. If it continued, there was no telling how many of 荒殿's dark secrets Jian Chen would expose.
Meanwhile, across the internet, the public was in an uproar, realizing the true nature of 荒殿.
Many were utterly stunned, especially the die-hard fans of 荒殿, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, refusing to believe it was true.
But the facts were laid bare before them, and they had no choice but to believe.
Their dreams were shattered. Those "young idols" and the ideal of "guarding the human race" were all lies.
"I, Zhao Ri Tian, have dominated the internet for over twenty years, and I never expected to be marketed by such a low-level tactic. Damn it all."
"Screw 荒殿! You almost led me astray. Damn it, I was even thinking of joining 荒殿 and becoming a disciple. I've already booked my plane ticket, damn it! 荒殿, give me back my hard-earned money!"
"We've wronged Great Qin. We were deceived by 荒殿, and we said so many harsh words to Great Qin before. I really want to cry."
"Great Qin, it turns out that it was Great Qin who has been silently dedicating itself to us all along."
A torrent of curses erupted online. 荒殿's official website was immediately hacked, and countless netizens unleashed their fury.
At the same time, those who had previously identified themselves as staunch supporters of 荒殿 were now under attack by netizens.
Especially Qiao Luobi, the leader of the 荒殿 fan club. All his communication software messages were flooding in incessantly.
At this moment, on Great Qin's official website, countless people left messages of apology. They had wronged Great Qin and those heroes who had sacrificed their lives for it.
Meanwhile, in the capital, Li Xiaotian looked on with surprise. The videos of the battle in the capital were released under his arrangement, and he had already prepared a plan to disgrace 荒殿 online.
However, he never expected that the Sect Master of 剑阁 would directly descend upon 荒殿 and accomplish everything he had intended to do.
