The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 181. The Prophet Fang Zhou
Chapter 181: 181. The Prophet Fang Zhou
The interview not only recorded the process of the battle but also noted a strange newspaper the Xuanji Sect obtained a few days ago. The contents of the newspaper all came true one by one.
Currently, the most famous person in the Xuanji Sect is Li Ruyu, but Li Ruyu went missing afterward and his whereabouts are unknown.
Fang Zhou was dumbfounded after reading it. No wonder Yu Qing was in such a hurry to apologize to him.
But in reality, the news in the first few issues of Wangyue Daily that Fang Zhou wrote were all fabricated.
Before leaving the Fang Family with Li Ruyu to head to the Xuanji Sect, Fang Zhou had asked Li Ruyu about the Xuanji Sect. He learned that the Qing Jing Wanderer’s surname is Gao, also knew about the fight between Yu Yang Wanderer and Qing Jing Wanderer, and that there were people wandering around the Xuanji Sect at night.
These were all things Li Ruyu mentioned to Fang Zhou as interesting gossip, so Fang Zhou used them as creative inspiration when fabricating the news.
As for the later news about the Xuanji Sect confining male disciples and the mysterious forces attacking the Xuanji Sect, those were completely made up by Fang Zhou.
No one could have known that it was such a coincidence that the True Mother God Sect attacked the Xuanji Sect just at that time.
Fang Zhou knew it was all a coincidence, but the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t see it that way.
None of the high-ranking members had failed to subscribe to Fang Zhou’s Wangyue Daily. Initially, they all thought he was intentionally slandering the Xuanji Sect.
Now they realized that this was undoubtedly a prophecy.
In the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Fang Zhou’s image immediately became lofty and mysterious.
The first three pieces of news were still acceptable, but the last news about a mysterious force attacking the Xuanji Sect, if Fang Zhou didn’t know the True Mother God Sect’s action plan in advance, then this is an undeniable prophecy ability.
Prophecy is a divine skill that only those in the Yin Yang Realm possess.
The high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sword Sect recalled their earlier guesses. Based on Fang Zhou’s almost demonic talents and his abnormal behaviors, he was very likely the reincarnation of a failed transcending tribulation master.
Originally, the possibility of this guess was very low, but now it was uncertain.
True Master Yu Jian suddenly smiled at Fang Zhou with a gentle voice, almost tender: "Little friend Fang, how come everything recorded in your newspaper comes true so often?"
Fang Zhou’s thoughts raced, then he suddenly revealed a cunning smile: "Just as you all have guessed."
Anyway, he couldn’t explain it clearly, so rather than telling them it was a coincidence and not being believed, he decided not to explain at all, letting them imagine whatever they wanted.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but after Fang Zhou said this, he felt the way these high-ranking members looked at him changed.
He also wondered what they were imagining.
They couldn’t possibly think he was the reincarnation of a great master, could they? Hahaha, that would be too absurd.
"If there’s nothing else, can I go back to sleep?"
Fang Zhou tentatively asked.
True Master Yu Jian subconsciously wanted to stand up but steadied himself with determination, smiling: "Go ahead, rest well, take care of yourself. If you need anything, feel free to come to Yujian Peak to get it. Yu Qing, escort our little friend Fang back."
Fang Zhou was a bit surprised by True Master Yu Jian’s attitude and left Yuncang Palace with Yu Qing.
After Fang Zhou left, the entire Yuncang Palace remained quiet.
The high-ranking members appeared to be deep in thought.
True Master Yu Jian suddenly said: "Everyone, do not spread this matter, otherwise, it could bring disaster to the Heavenly Sword Sect."
A suspected reincarnation of a great master wandering around the Heavenly Sword Sect could attract a lot of unwanted attention and trouble if word got out.
Especially the Demon Sect, who have a strange obsession with reincarnated great masters. If they found out, they would definitely come to seize him, possibly causing a disaster similar to what happened with the Xuanji Sect.
The other high-ranking members understood this reasoning and unanimously agreed.
...
The new issue of the Heavenly Sword Daily was successfully released, and thousands of disciples carried the freshly inked newspapers to various parts of the Cultivation World.
They crossed mountains and rivers, delivering the newspapers to cultivation sects across the Chu Kingdom and even throughout the Central Plains as quickly as possible.
The previous issues of the Heavenly Sword Daily only circulated within Jingnan State. This was the Heavenly Sword Sect’s first attempt to expand its market, leveraging the incident of the Xuanji Sect being attacked by a cult.
Whether it would succeed depended on this effort.
Many sects receiving the Heavenly Sword Daily were surprised but accepted it out of courtesy since the newspaper was very cheap and could even be used as toilet paper.
However, once they opened it, they were immediately attracted by the content.
The warning issued by the Xuanji Sect through Mystic Crystal Jade to the major sects of the Righteous Alliance was just one sentence known only to the high-ranking members, with the lower ranks unaware.
When the newspaper appeared, it caused a huge commotion among the major sects, with many cultivators learning from the newspaper that the Xuanji Sect was almost defeated by the cult, revealing its incompetence.
The headquarters of the Righteous Alliance originally planned to send people to investigate and offer condolences to the Xuanji Sect, but after receiving the newspaper, there was no need because the paper recorded everything in detail without any mistakes.
This news of the Xuanji Sect being attacked by a cult truly spread throughout the cultivation world, and the Heavenly Sword Daily gained considerable fame, making countless people remember this new and interesting thing.
The Xuanji Sect, which was left half-crippled by the attack, also received the Heavenly Sword Daily.
When Qing Jing Wanderer saw the newspaper, her eyes went black. The disasters their Xuanji Sect endured all seemed to be brought by this little newspaper, like an evil curse, with every appearance bringing misfortune.
Luckily, this was the Heavenly Sword Daily and not the Wangyue Daily, otherwise, Qing Jing Wanderer would have torn it up without even looking.
But after reading the Heavenly Sword Daily, Qing Jing Wanderer almost turned her minor injuries into severe ones out of anger.
You hypocrites at the Heavenly Sword Sect, coming to offer fake condolences and support earlier. I thought you were sincerely helping, but turns out you were just exploiting our misfortune.
Although the Xuanji Sect had issued a warning to the Righteous Alliance, it was just one sentence without revealing the real situation.
Qing Jing Wanderer was preparing to send a formal letter to the Righteous Alliance, emphasizing their courageous fight and how they easily defeated the True Mother God Sect, causing the cult to leave countless bodies and flee in panic, declaring this a great victory for the Righteous Camp.
Although it seemed a bit like turning a funeral into a celebration, it could also promote the strength and heritage of the Xuanji Sect, possibly attracting some talent.
But the Heavenly Sword Daily hit the Xuanji Sect like a blow to the head, detailing the Xuanji Sect’s battle with the cult and the casualties on both sides.
It was obvious that the Xuanji Sect suffered greatly, almost getting wiped out by the cult.
Other cultivators who read the newspaper probably ridiculed the Xuanji Sect’s weakness.
If the Xuanji Sect dared to declare victory now, it would only become a joke.
What was more insidious was that the Heavenly Sword Sect included the previous issue of Wangyue Daily, spreading the name of the righteous whistleblower Li Ruyu throughout the cultivation world, effectively tarnishing the Xuanji Sect’s reputation.
Qing Jing Wanderer almost exploded with anger, but she dared not turn against the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Sect smartly sent many heavenly materials and earthly treasures as compensation afterward.
Moreover, the Xuanji Sect was already crippled by the True Mother God Sect and needed to guard against their return, relying on the Heavenly Sword Sect’s aid.
Under such circumstances, Qing Jing Wanderer had no choice but to silently swallow this bitter pill.
