Chapter 143 The Storm of Public Opinion

The unwavering statement by Elder Long, equating demons and humans, inevitably went viral online and was witnessed by numerous beasts.

Instantly!

Countless demons within the Great Xia territory began attacking humans. These were, of course, the demons who had not yet joined the Myriad Alliance.

Previously, they maintained an ambiguous relationship with the Myriad Alliance.

However, upon seeing the news online, they erupted.

Roaring in their territories, they attacked any humans within their domains.

Within just one hour.

Reports of humans injured by demons poured in from all regions.

Kyoto.

“Elder Long, demons have already begun attacking Great Xia humans in various regions.”

“Elder Long, this has already become a trending topic in real-time and is spreading on foreign media.”

“Many foreign netizens are eager to witness this as a spectacle!”

……

One after another, reports were delivered. Elder Long and Bai Feng remained remarkably calm.

This sent a wave of unease through the Secretary-General.

If the situation continued to develop this way, the Great Xia would truly be in a state of panic.

Yet, to the Secretary-General’s utter dismay, Elder Long and Minister Bai only instructed soldiers to protect the populace and maintain order.

Nothing else followed…

“Elder Long, Minister Bai!”

Just then, the Secretary-General, who had just received new intelligence, his expression changed drastically.

Then, with a resolute expression, he strode into the conference room.

He looked at Elder Long and Minister Bai, who remained as composed as ever, and took a deep breath. “Elder Long, Minister Bai!”

“This truly cannot go on.”

“According to satellite detection, the entire Taibai Mountain is swarming with demons.”

“They are preparing to deliver a devastating blow to our Great Xia!”

“We must make preparations!”

“Oh.”

Elder Long and Bai Feng heard this and, just as before, their expressions did not change. They merely uttered a faint acknowledgment.

The Secretary-General stood dumbfounded, wondering if Elder Long and Bai Feng had not heard clearly.

“There are demons gathering on Taibai Mountain!”

The Secretary-General, unwilling to believe, repeated himself.

“Mm~ Is there anything else? If not, you may leave,” Elder Long waved his hand dismissively, not taking it seriously at all.

“Elder Long, we are really reaching our limit!” the Secretary-General implored again. “If the demons on Taibai Mountain go berserk, Great Xia will be in grave danger!”

“If there’s nothing else, you may go,” Elder Long waved his hand impatiently.

“This…”

The Secretary-General lost all composure, completely unsure of what else he could say.

“Alright! I will take my leave then!”

After an era of silence, the Secretary-General took a deep breath and said.

However, as he left, his eyes sharpened.

Regardless of what Elder Long and Minister Bai thought, he knew that this situation could not continue.

He had to do something.

“Bai Feng!”

Once only the two of them remained in the conference room, Elder Long slightly raised his gaze. “What do you think of this move by the United States?”

“Excellent!”

Minister Bai nodded, then added, “I think that Secretary-General…”

“Let him be!”

Elder Long said calmly. “If we can endure this, our connection with the Guardian Beasts and the myriad of demons will become even closer and more reliable!”

Bai Feng remained silent. Both of them then cast their gazes towards the distance.

It was in the direction of Taibai Mountain.

On Taibai Mountain.

Ten thousand beasts gathered, a vast and imposing sight, blanketing the snow-white mountain in a new layer of black.

These were all the demons belonging to the Dragon Palace!

Each one had a ferocious expression, roaring at the sky.

They were like soldiers with high battle spirits, ready to march.

Looking further up past the multitude of beasts, one could see near the Heavenly Pool at the very front, several formidable and imposing demons, their auras radiating power, yet distinctly different from the rest.

Each one of them was eye-catching, like the difference between gods and mortals compared to the other demons.

And they!

Were the Demon Kings belonging to Ao Yuan.

“You all wait here.”

“We’ll be back soon!”

“This time, we’ll definitely teach humanity a lesson!”

The many Demon Kings spoke in unison, roaring with anger, and then plunged into the Heavenly Pool, preparing to seek out Ao Yuan.

They believed that under Ao Yuan’s guidance, the demons would surely be able to deliver a crushing blow to the humans who looked down on them.

They also wanted to use this opportunity to tell all humans on Blue Star.

That the status of demons on Blue Star was no weaker than that of humans!

However, when the many Demon Kings arrived at the Dragon Palace in a hurry.

They found Ao Yuan leisurely lying on the laps of Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi, engrossed in playing on his phone.

As for Ao Guang, he was diligently cultivating.

Upon seeing this scene, several Demon Kings were stunned and exchanged glances.

How to put it, they felt a pang of jealousy!

Fortunately, they remembered why they had come.

“Lord Dragon God!”

The several Demon Kings spoke in unison.

Ao Yuan shifted his gaze slightly, glanced at them, and asked, “What business do you have with me if you’re not cultivating?”

“Lord Dragon God, have you heard about what’s happening online?”

“I have,” Ao Yuan nodded, then lifted his phone. “I’m watching it now.”

Hearing this, the several Demon Kings nodded, their anger surging.

Clearly, the news online had deeply affected them.

But just as they were about to speak, Ao Yuan spoke first with a smile, “I wonder who took this video. The Global Summit was filmed so clearly.”

“And the popularity is so high, it’s becoming known worldwide. The Great Xia officials are really useless!”

“Heh, look at this comment I just posted, and countless people are arguing with me.”

As he spoke, Ao Yuan paused his phone.

Allowing everyone to see his comments.

One comment stated that Great Xia demons were partners with Great Xia.

Clicking on it revealed a torrent of insults below.

The insults were particularly vicious, almost extending to his eighteenth generation ancestors.

And looking at another comment posted by Ao Yuan.

It stated that Great Xia had always intended to domesticate demons, not to truly ally with them.

Below this comment, there were only a few replies.

Instead, there were several comments explaining things.

Comparatively, there were many similar comments.

But the previously enraged demons hadn’t noticed.

At this moment.

Looking at the information Ao Yuan displayed, the many Demon Kings, though no longer furious, still looked stunned.

They knew that Ao Yuan wouldn't show them trivial matters like comments for no reason.

But they truly didn’t understand.

What was Ao Yuan’s intention in showing them these comments?

Wasn’t this just a comment?

What did it have to do with Great Xia looking down on demons this time?

Forgive them, for they truly couldn’t comprehend it with their own minds.

“Still haven’t figured it out?” Ao Yuan asked them.

Seeing all the Demon Kings shake their heads, Ao Yuan hadn’t spoken yet when Ao Guang, who was diligently cultivating nearby, stopped and flew over. He gave each beast a rap on the head and said, “You still don’t understand this? Are you idiots?”
