Chapter 1001: A Massive Storm
When news spread that the Five Poisons Sect had colluded with the Wild Wolves Organization, it quickly triggered a huge uproar in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. Countless martial artists were enraged, and various factions spontaneously united to destroy over thirty of the Five Poisons Sect’s branches in the south and north!
Disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were hunted down in the wild!
All those who had grudges against the sect joined in the attack!
This day would surely become a day of disaster and destruction for the Five Poisons Sect!
Not only were they pursued outside, but even in the Martial Temple, sinister tactics were frequently used…
Many people summoned poisonous insects in the temple, only to release them, using the Five Poisons Sect’s usual tricks to kill many of its disciples.
Amidst this overwhelming tide of collapse, thousands of Five Poisons Sect disciples fled for safety, while even more quickly distanced themselves from the sect after death…
At this moment, not only had the outside martial arts world decided to eradicate the Five Poisons Sect, but its own disciples also knew that after today, the sect would no longer exist in the Central Plains’ martial arts world!
…
Back at the hospital after leaving the game, Happy encountered the busy nurse and her boyfriend, Qiu Ming, again in the rehabilitation room.
They clearly heard the news of the Five Poisons Sect’s destruction and came over to offer their congratulations!
“…What?”
Xu Yao didn’t pay much attention at first, but when she heard that the Five Poisons Sect no longer existed, she showed a slight look of shock.
“Yao Yao, you didn’t know?” Nurse Xiao Yi blinked at her. “Your husband destroyed three of the Five Poisons Sect’s branches in just a few days and forced them to reveal their collusion with the Wild Wolves Organization. Now, over thirty branches, including the main headquarters, have been destroyed. If you go there now, you won’t find a single sign of a Five Poisons Sect disciple.”
“…”
Xu Yao turned to Happy in surprise.
It was hard to believe that despite such a huge event, Happy seemed unaffected and continued with her rehabilitation exercises as usual.
“Don’t look at me like that. I just didn’t tell you what happened because I saw you stopped playing ‘Jianghu’ too,” Happy said, shrugging and explaining as she headed back to her room.
“I haven’t played ‘Jianghu’ in a long time, but I still know the influence and power the Five Poisons Sect has in the Central Plains’ martial arts world. How did you do this in such a short time?” Xu Yao couldn’t help but marvel at Happy’s rapid progress in the world of martial arts.
“The Five Poisons Sect is just a minor faction. Once I’ve destroyed the First-Class Hall and the Blood Alliance, I’ll definitely tell you this good news first,” Happy said with a smile.
Xu Yao’s expression darkened as she said, “…Yipin Tang and the Blood Alliance are far stronger than the Five Poisons Sect. It’s too early to talk about this now.”
“Who said it’s too early?”
Nurse Xiao Yi couldn’t help but interject, her tone exaggerated, “As soon as the news spread that the Five Poisons Sect is colluding with the Wild Wolves Organization, the internet exploded with discussions. Many are wondering if Yipin Tang is actually the real mastermind behind this collusion… Once Yipin Tang is labeled as a traitor to the Central Plains, its downfall won’t be far off!”
“…”
Hearing Nurse Xiao Yi’s words, Xu Yao finally showed a look of surprise.
Kai Xin spoke calmly at that moment:
“It’s not that simple.”
He wasn’t as optimistic and naive as Nurse Xiao Yi. Meng Yun wouldn’t fall into the trap so easily. Since the Five Poisons Sect was tasked with contacting and protecting the Wild Wolves Organization, she must have prepared long ago—emergency plans in case their relationship was exposed! Even if not, Meng Yun wasn’t someone who would sit idly by!
To eliminate Yipin Tang in a short time, just this little information wasn’t enough.
Thinking this, Kai Xin picked up the computer on the side table and directly accessed the official forum…
Sure enough!
The hottest posts were all about the battle in Nanjing.
The REP section revealed the entire process of Yan Lang and others appearing outside the Five Poisons Sect’s branch and working with them to deal with the martial arts masters of the Central Plains.
The replies were filled with anger!
But the main focus wasn’t the Five Poisons Sect—it was Yipin Tang!
In the game, people might still hold back a bit, but on the internet, since they didn’t know who was on the other end of the IP, they spoke boldly and unreservedly.
Everyone pointed their fingers directly at Yipin Tang!
They bluntly declared that Yipin Tang was the culprit behind the collusion with the Wild Wolves Organization! Even destroying the Five Poisons Sect wasn’t enough—without eliminating Yipin Tang, the Central Plains would forever remain under the shadow of the Wild Wolves Organization!
There were all kinds of intense opinions on the forum, including rational analyses, and even a few defending Yipin Tang.
As he read on, Kai Xin clicked on a post titled “Meng Yun: Saying Goodbye to Those with ulterior motives.”
This post was actually posted by Meng Yun herself…
Nurse Xiao Yi and Xu Yao couldn’t help but lean in:
“When was this posted?”
“Meng Yun actually came out to defend herself. It seems she’s realized the seriousness of the situation too—she had to speak up.”
“…”
In the post, Meng Yun’s words were very concise.
The Five Poisons Sect had nothing to do with Yipin Tang!
Yipin Tang has always emphasized that there is no connection between the two. Ao Cangsheng himself is just someone who left Yipin Tang to start his own thing—a mere ordinary friend. Meng Yun stated in her post that she didn’t want everyone to treat Yipin Tang unfairly! The reason Yipin Tang hadn’t dealt with the Five Poisons Sect before was because Ao Cangsheng had left Yipin Tang, and after all, their friendship still existed. But she never imagined Ao Cangsheng would be so bold as to turn against the Wild Wolves Organization. Meng Yun even said that upon hearing this news, Yipin Tang immediately sent troops to destroy three branches of the Five Poisons Sect. In the end, Meng Yun said that if those with ulterior motives insisted on blaming Yipin Tang for the crimes of the Five Poisons Sect, Yipin Tang’s hundreds of thousands of disciples would not agree and would surely eliminate all those with malicious intent who slandered Yipin Tang to defend its reputation! “Is this considered intimidation?” Looking at those red-marked numbers of hundreds of thousands, Qiu Ming was speechless. “A blend of strength and gentleness—Meng Yun’s usual tactic. Though these words might not convince the martial arts communities in the Central Plains to believe her, they can at least reassure the people of Yipin Tang.” Kai Xin frowned slightly. When happy, Meng Yun didn’t show her strength but used various examples to demonstrate her sincerity in dealing with the Five Poisons Sect, explained her ambiguous relationship with them, and then solemnly drew a clear line, truly earning some people’s understanding and sympathy. But the most important thing was to completely reassure those within Yipin Tang who were hesitant. He knew well that once Yipin Tang’s internal unity was unshakable, it would be very difficult for outsiders to take it over. Meng Yun played this move brilliantly! At this moment, anyone who wanted to target Yipin Tang would have to think carefully—Yipin Tang’s disciples were all waiting, and basically… whoever stepped forward would die! From the replies under Meng Yun’s post, Kai Xin could also see that most of Yipin Tang’s people had come to defend it. The second-largest gang in the Central Plains now firmly stood at the forefront of the forum, dominating all others! … Kai Xin pondered for a moment. Under the surprised gazes of Nurse Xiao Yi, Xu Yao, and Qiu Ming, he tapped on the keyboard and began typing rapidly. “What are you doing…?” The three of them’s eyes lit up as they quickly realized Kai Xin intended to counterattack. Others might not dare or be qualified to retaliate, but with Kai Xin’s current fame and reputation, he was more than enough to stand out in the forum. … “ Truly worthy of Meng Yun.”
Inside the high-rise office building, Shadow and her two sisters were also browsing Meng Yun’s posts on the forum. They had left the game and come over after being informed by their gang brothers in the game. The Wudu Sect had been destroyed, and the Xifeng Tower was surely involved! Shadow was well aware that the Wudu Sect certainly didn’t rank among the Central Plains gangs that could catch the attention of the Wild Wolf Organization. If it weren’t for Meng Yun manipulating everything behind the scenes, they wouldn’t have believed it. But seeing Meng Yun’s balanced statements on the forum and the intense support from countless disciples of Yipin Hall, Shadow felt somewhat troubled. Yipin Hall was cooperating with the Wild Wolf Organization. Yet the Xifeng Tower was now closely working with Yidi and Bai Xiaosheng to combat the Wild Wolf Organization, and Yipin Hall had already been labeled as an enemy force. But they never expected Meng Yun to use such a method to boost the confidence and morale of Yipin Hall’s disciples. Even if they broke ties with Yipin Hall now, the Xifeng Tower would surely have to pay a heavy price, possibly even suffer severe losses… Which would instead give the Wild Wolf Organization another chance to invade the Central Plains! “…That’s a clever move.” “Sis Shadow, are we just going to give up like this?” The two charming fox-like women looked dissatisfied. “I’ve never had any good feelings about Meng Yun—she’s definitely full of schemes! If we don’t seize this chance to take down Yipin Hall, I won’t be satisfied!” “I wish I could take down Yipin Hall too, but unfortunately… their morale is extremely high right now. If we go to war, we won’t stand a chance.” “We have to find a way.” “How about having Bai Xiaosheng look for evidence?” “Since Meng Yun has left everything in Ao Cangsheng’s hands, she surely won’t leave any clues for us. And since Ao Cangsheng isn’t online now, we have no way in.” “Are we just going to let that evil woman Meng Yun control public opinion and gain a firm foothold?!?” “…” Just as the three women were trapped in helplessness and silence! Suddenly, a prominent post appeared at the top of the forum! “Huh?!” The woman staring intently at the screen slightly opened her mouth, and in the next moment, her smile widened rapidly: “Sis Shadow, look quickly!” “Look at this post!!” Amidst the exclamations, Shadow glanced at the computer screen. The next moment, excitedly, she snatched the laptop from her hands, her face filled with joy: “He’s taking action!!” On the forum, a newly posted thread quickly attracted a lot of attention with its striking words:
“I’m thrilled to tell you, Mengyun! I’m the one with ulterior motives!!” These confrontational words quickly garnered tens of thousands of clicks. The popularity kept rising!
