Outside, chaos reigned.
Zhong Shenxiu’s face was pale as he let someone help him inside, then asked Bai Yu and the others to leave so he could rest a bit on his own.
Once left alone, he counted his Heavenly Show Points, revealing a happy smile.
’This time, I’ve avenged Niu Dingtian perfectly!’
’The undisputed title of strongest Martial Artist is now in my hands, fulfilling Hua Wu’s obsession.’
’Moreover, defeating the Heavenly Demon before the whole world, that’s a huge addition to my Heavenly Show Points...’
He knew, the Tang Family was finished.
Faction leaders, figureheads plagued by the Heart Demon, internally everyone was unsafe, unable to prove their innocence, each must be scrutinized.
This was the will of the entire world!
Even deep and strong connections couldn’t save the Tang Family from this predicament.
Your intricately intertwined relationships, I will scrape even the ground, what use could they be?
What about those other research institutes, national powers, multinational corporate organizations and so forth... Those who had sought the Innane Dao before, must now be extremely anxious, right?
Because the Heavenly Demon was exposed publicly!
The information they had desperately hidden so far was fully revealed to the audience, live broadcast worldwide!
Angry masses would surely take to the streets, demanding the truth be revealed, leading to global unrest, a significant reshuffle of power.
All in all, many people would be extremely anxious, too busy to trouble Zhong Shenxiu.
"For my safety, throw out an even bigger detonator, haha... You want to mess with me, I’ll just flip the table."
Zhong Shenxiu did not regret creating a panic, this flipping the table approach.
How many Martial Artists, fooled by the great heroism, for the nation and for the people, in reality, many masters with bad characters abound.
In the end, people like Niu Dingtian and Guo Shi died in vain, while Tang Long sat in the position of honorary president, enjoying boundless glory.
Greater power, greater responsibility, was merely a shackle named responsibility that ordinary people wished to place on superhumans, effortlessly broken.
As for deeds, it was as ridiculous as placing a paper collar around a lion’s neck!
Just like Tang Long, he and Niu Dingtian were from the same era, even Niu Dingtian was more famous than him at one time.
But now? Niu Dingtian was dead, his father miserably managing.
And Tang Long was enjoying boundless glory.
When your opponent has abandoned their bottom line, you must act even more shamelessly to turn defeat into victory!
’Actually... though relying on superior mana, no one could see through it, a post-event investigation could still have unveiled many suspicions...’
Zhong Shenxiu took a deep breath, stood up, "So... the next step is to demonstrate strength and expand influence!"
Now that the portal of return had opened and with no worries about the future, Zhong Shenxiu felt he could indulge a bit.
Martial Artist Association.
Phone calls and communications were incessant, almost overwhelming.
Across the globe, people who watched the final match live broadcast spontaneously formed protests, demanding the truth.
Those precious videos and photos of Tang Long transforming were spreading like a virus on the internet, unstoppable by any bans.
The vast majority of the world’s population today found out there was such a terrifying race intending to invade our world, even lurking among us.
They were angry, they were afraid, they sought the truth! And they demanded a thorough investigation into creatures like Tang Long!
Inside a stretch limousine.
Tang Minggao slumped in his seat, almost clueless about what to do next.
He had already received several calls from Martial Artists in his faction, feeling completely drained.
Tang Long was quite fine, how could he be possessed by a Heart Demon?
Heart Demon, what was that even?
Although he did not understand what a Heart Demon was, he realized if the opponent could truly directly possess consciousness, it would be terrifying indeed.
The entire faction originated from him, and no one could prove their innocence.
Next, there were just lengthy spiritual inspections and physical examinations... In the end, even if nothing significant could be found, it might still result in lifelong imprisonment!
Because even if proven innocent eventually, they could no longer be trusted.
"No, my Tang Family... how could we end up ?"
Tang Minggao’s eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
Suddenly, another urgent call came through, "Vice President... a wormhole reaction has been detected in the Galaxy District and Comet District... What should we do? Most people in the Martial Artist Association are panicking, please arrange the teams to move out quickly."
Tang Minggao’s eyes lit up as if grasping at straws, "We can’t move out... yes, we absolutely cannot move out... You need to understand, we’re almost finished, this is our only chance! I will call each Martial Artist one by one. Our Tang Family has provided them so many benefits in the past, holding so many of their weaknesses, now at this crucial moment, they must stand by our side! We absolutely cannot move out, we must negotiate favorable terms with the Star Alliance first, don’t damn talk to me about the overall situation, right now we are the overall situation! Without hundreds of thousands of civilians dying, taking a million civilians hostage, how would the Star Alliance agree to pardon us and continue giving us privileges?! This is the last chance to maintain our faction!"
After devising the plan, his action was swift, and through coercion and inducement, he quickly set the stage.
At this time, Martial Artists from the Star Alliance were still busy patrolling each area, truly overwhelmed.
The threats of the two wormholes were thus completely ignored.
"Finally... have we taken this step?"
Zhong Shenxiu, unnoticed by others, had already left the gymnasium, and upon hearing this situation, he smiled, "Bai Yu... prepare the helicopter! We depart immediately to suppress the Heavenly Demon."
"Is it just you, sir?"
Bai Yu hesitated a bit.
"Although I could command my circle of friends, why bother? I alone am enough."
Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily, "After all... I am the strongest Martial Artist!"
With his Gang Sha Realm strength, eradicating the wormholes was a trivial task.
As for the Tang Family, their selfishness has muddled their intelligence, taking this step equates to completely severing themselves from the Star Alliance, from humanity. Their ending would inevitably be extremely tragic.
’Showing true power, today is the day!’
Zhong Shenxiu boarded the private plane and quickly arrived at the Comet District.
From a distance, he saw an Earth Realm enveloped in a dense fog, swarming with countless Heavenly Demons.
’These Heavenly Demons, my brothers, are really efficient. I barely announced my Heart Demon decree and they immediately stirred up trouble, nailing the Tang Family to the pillar of shame. What teamwork.’
Zhong Shenxiu sighed to himself secretly when he heard Bai Yu report, "The ground command center is grateful for our arrival, willing to dispatch a suicide squad to enter the Spirit Realm with Mr. Hua."
"No need, just send me above the Spirit Realm, how did the previous action go?"
"Martial Artists belonging to the Tang Family faction within the Martial Artist Association refused to fight, but other factions still mobilized a few Martial Artists, such as White Ape Liu San and Lan Wangchuan who was forcibly promoted, but the first wave of action has already failed, all Martial Artists were wiped out..." Bai Yu replied with a sigh.
Zhong Shenxiu went silent for a moment, letting the helicopter fly high above the Spirit Realm. Looking at the dense fog below, any lower and the helicopter would disappear.
He straightened his collar and then jumped off the helicopter.
The wind howled as Zhong Shenxiu plummeted into the Spirit Realm at a terrifying speed.
Down on the ground, numerous horned demons looked up and saw a towering figure clad in White Bone Armor descending from the sky like a Heavenly God.
In an instant, a gigantic white bone claw appeared and swooped down.
Several horned demons were squashed like ants, using that force, Zhong Shenxiu skillfully flipped, landing amidst the encircling Heavenly Demons, "Hey there!" he greeted.
His eyes swept across and immediately spotted the wormhole. With a thought, another white bone giant claw emerged, grabbing towards the wormhole.
Several bizarre Heavenly Demons suddenly appeared from thin air, collectively blocking the claw, their bodies showing signs of severe corrosion.
"Too bad, it’s useless."
Zhong Shenxiu chuckled lightly, as nine white bone giant claws simultaneously appeared, sweeping down across the sky.
ce clash, the wormhole vanished without a trace.
The surrounding horned demons first stalled, then let out a scream, scattering in all directions...
