Chapter 599 Discredit
Bai Zhizhou withdrew his gaze. He knew the composition of Jiang He's spiritual roots. To put it another way, even if Jiang He didn't have a fire spiritual root, he felt that she could conjure one out of thin air.
Hua Xi's thoughts were completely opposite to Bai Zhizhou's. Just because she stopped her fellow cultivators from arguing with them didn't mean she would stop others from smearing the Lingyun Sect.
Lingyun Sect smeared their Xiaoyao Sect, so let's just retaliate in kind. They can smear back in kind.
As far as Hua Xi knew, before the sect competition, the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect had already fallen to its lowest point, so it wouldn't matter if it got any worse.
The Lingyun Sect is different; it has a good reputation in the outside world.
As she pondered this, Hua Xi logged onto the StarNet on her personal computer.
She might not be as good as the cultivators from Lingyun Sect at spreading rumors, but when it came to uncovering the truth, she knew that two people in their sect were veterans.
Shangguan Linghu also has Huang Mingshi.
The Lingyun Sect has done a fair number of bad things, but after the Pan Xiu incident was exposed, Hua Xi added fuel to the fire. That's what she wanted to do.
When Shangguan Linghu was added to the group chat, she was still a little confused until Hua Xi told her about it.
Shangguan Linghu met Hua Xi at the Academy Competition. When the teams were divided, Jiang He would often let Hua Xi lead a complete team. On a few occasions, Shangguan Linghu did not lead a team but joined Hua Xi's team.
Hua Xi is a bit arrogant and sometimes has a sharp tongue, but she never does anything stupid, and she has done an excellent job leading the team in several missions.
So after discussing it with Hua Xi, Shangguan Linghu decisively added Huang Mingshi to the group chat as well.
With her power and influence, it would be incredibly easy for Hua Xi to dig up some dirt on the Lingyun Sect.
Shangguan Linghu is adept at dissecting the truth from the smallest clues. Sometimes, she can connect the whole story from beginning to end in many posts.
As for Huang Mingshi, his analysis posts under the ID "Conan" are undoubtedly outstanding, excelling in both logical reasoning and posting.
The three-person team began collecting a lot of dirt on the Lingyun Sect, which was then sent out by Huang Mingshi through the Hua family's secret contacts.
In less than a day, the Lingyun Sect had accumulated even more negative information. Ye Qingqian had become a hands-off manager, while the Seventh Elder of the Lingyun Sect was scouting for trending topics on the Star Network. Every time he hired online trolls to post in the comments section, another piece of negative information about the Lingyun Sect would appear. It was impossible to suppress it all!
The Seventh Elder was depressed all day.
——Imperial Capital Central Plains——
"Your Majesty, the Lingyun Sect..."
“Lingyun Sect cannot be touched for the time being. It is deeply intertwined with the Heavenly Rank Family and other family forces. If Lingyun Sect is attacked, people’s hearts will be unsettled.”
"The Lingyun Sect is secretly condoning its cultivators to oppress the people. As a result, most citizens of the empire will definitely feel disgusted with the Lingyun Sect."
"This is exactly what worries me."
Wanqi Jingyan has been having a lot of headaches lately. The trouble caused by the Divine Sect was already troublesome enough, and now the Lingyun Sect has also encountered problems. None of these sects and clans are at peace.
Over the past five years, many corrupt officials have been eliminated through various means, resulting in a surplus in the national treasury. However, suppressing or eliminating the Lingyun Sect is not part of Wanqi Jingyan's plan.
Removing them won't eradicate the roots; it will only nourish new termites.
Even if Lingyun Sect is gone, another Lingyun Sect will emerge. The worst-case scenario is that these three sects will become dominant. Originally, there were four sects vying for power. The weakness of Hehuan Sect led Wanqi Jingyan to pay close attention to these sects every year, fearing that any sect might become too weak and collapse. In this way, only three sects remain, making it even more difficult to balance the relationships between them.
Wanqi Jingyan thought that if Lingyun Sect fell and no sect rose up quickly to replace it, then the Blood Alliance, Hehuan Sect, and Divine Sect would be left.
Given the immense power of the Blood Alliance and the Divine Cult, the Joyful Union Sect has even less room to survive, and the situation will inevitably escalate into a conflict between the Blood Alliance and the Divine Cult.
If he intervenes at that point, he will have no say whatsoever.
These days have been too complicated. Wanqi Jingyan rubbed his temples, wishing Qi Xun were still here.
A bitter smile crept onto his lips; what a mess.
"Lingyun Sect, you should take some people and give them a warning. Control those comments online. The wronged should be held accountable. Find the Lingyun Sect members who committed the crimes. Arrest all those who violated interstellar law and give everyone a reasonable explanation."
"Yes."
The officials who had been in the meeting room dispersed, and one of the officials in charge of the matter complained quite a bit:
"Tell me, the Lingyun Sect is really something. They haven't learned to restrain themselves after all these years. It's difficult for His Majesty to deal with them, but it's even more difficult for me. I'm asking what exactly constitutes a reasonable explanation."
"You've really had a tough time lately. The Divine Sect had just gotten into trouble, and the Lingyun Sect immediately followed suit. Speaking of which, the Lingyun Sect has offended quite a few people. I don't know what these cultivators are thinking. Do they think that entering a sect will make them superior to others?"
"That's probably what they think. Right now, the online opinion is one-sided. There's too much dirt on Lingyun Sect. Everyone is jumping in to smear them. The Divine Sect is doing a particularly hard job. It seems they want to make Lingyun Sect's affairs a big deal to protect their own reputation."
"His Majesty has spoken, so the Divine Sect will not do this again. The Lingyun Sect will not collapse now, but its reputation will be in serious trouble."
"No, no, no, that's because you don't understand our Empire's netizens enough. There are a lot of brainless fans in the Lingyun Sect. If you do this kind of thing according to the fan circle, it's just a matter of black and red, and then you can clear the Lingyun Sect's reputation. They are good at turning black into white."
"What brainless fans, what whitewashing."
"Haha, you don't understand, do you? These are all new words I've learned recently. You're so old, you need to keep up with the times."
"Qi Liangde".

In the alchemy room, Jiang He did not refine any difficult pills, but instead refined her most skilled Rejuvenation Pill. Sometimes, regardless of the function of the pill, one can live on the same pill formula until old age.
Since it's a ranking of alchemists, Jiang He, having studied alchemy for several years, naturally wants to test her learning results. She won't make any spiritual food, but if you're talking about cheating, she can do it.
Jiang He selected a suitable alchemy furnace and took out all the spiritual plants, including tomatoes.
There were also 10,000 servings of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that he had saved up over the years in the mustard seed bag. The Xiaoyao Sect and the space had also harvested many batches of tomatoes. If they were not sold soon, it would not be good to keep them in his hands.
Jiang He thought for a while, then picked up the alchemy furnace and wiped it clean before starting to refine the pills.
The process of alchemy should not be rushed; often, the best approach is to proceed slowly and let things take their natural course.
The three alchemists assigned to Jiang He's alchemy room perspective are not limited to just this one alchemy room.
Jiang He was the last alchemist to enter. The alchemy room was empty before her arrival, so there was no need for anyone to observe her. However, after Jiang He arrived at the alchemy room, the eyes of several alchemists all turned to the top of the screen.
