In Wu Youming's heart, he was a high and mighty figure. To the common people, he was like an immortal. In order to suppress Yang Dingtian, he had bent down and shared his secrets with the common people. Not only was he not admired, but he was also insulted by a martial artist. It was ridiculous.
Wu Youming felt that his chest was about to explode.
Vulture's face was completely pale. He almost couldn't help but pull out his sword and kill all the ants in front of him.
Wu Youming held Vulture's hand and said softly, "These common people and martial artists are ignorant. Don't lower yourself to their level."
Vulture thought for a while and nodded, "That's right. It's not our newspaper that has a problem. It's these people who are too lowly and vulgar. They don't know how to appreciate it."
Then, Wu Youming and Vulture left.
The two of them walked into a restaurant.
The distribution points of 'Chaos Times' and 'Tiandō League Times' were basically teahouses, restaurants, and even brothels.
Wu Youming walked to the front of the luxurious counter and asked, "Excuse me, sir. Do you still have 'Tiandō League Times'?"
The counter owner looked up and smiled, "I'm sorry, sir. It was sold out early in the morning."
Wu Youming was happy and said, "Oh, then it seems that 'Tiandō League Times' is very popular."
"It's just taking advantage of the limelight!"
The counter owner poked Wu Youming's heart and said, "It's because 'Chaos Times' opened everyone's eyes. That's why 'Tiandō League Times' is so popular."
Wu Youming's heart felt stifled as he said with a smile, "In my opinion, the Heavenly Dao Union Times is of a much higher standard. It's not impossible for it to overtake the Primal Chaos Times!"
"Haha …" The owner said, "These words are too childish. I have already read the < Heavenly Dao Union Times >. The content is exaggerated and hypocritical. They like to talk big and point at the world. They are high and mighty.
From the inside out, he exuded a vulgar narcissism.
On the other hand, the Chaos Times is serious, profound, and authoritative. The two are completely different. "
Wu Youming didn't say anything, but Vulture couldn't help but say, "I don't think so. It's just that some people don't understand the articles in the Tiandō League Times.
When I read 'The Secret of Wu Youming and the Vulture', it was very touching and beautiful. "
"Hahaha …" The owner said, "Maybe only an ignorant woman would think that way!
The relationship between Mr. Wu Youming and Miss Vulture may be very touching, but what does it have to do with others?
This kind of sweet talk in the house was published in the newspapers and printed in the eyes of others. It was no longer exaggerated, but laughable!
The peddlers can't find any excitement in this newspaper.
Mid-level fighters can't find the excitement of participating in the current affairs.
High-level fighters can't find the world's network.
No matter if it's the upper, middle, or lower class people, there's no redeeming feature!
In my opinion, the next issue can only be sent to the latrine. "
At this moment, Wu Youming wanted to pull out his sword and kill someone.
This owner was the most typical upper-middle class person in society. Although he didn't swear, his mouth was even more vicious.
Wu Youming was filled with anger. He directly left with Vulture.
While walking on the street, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Buy the < Tiandō League Times > at a high price. Buy the < Tiandō League Times > at a high price."
Wu Youming's heart changed again. He found the person and said, "You want to buy the < Tiandō League Times >?"
"Yes, do you have it?" The young man in silk clothes looked at him warmly.
Wu Youming said, "I don't have it now, but there will be a lot in the future!"
"Give it to me, I want it all!" The young man in silk clothes said, "Remember, give me as many copies as you have!
Sell it at the original price of two silver coins. I will add one silver coin. "
Wu Youming was overjoyed and said, "Of course, of course!
Only this brother has a discerning eye. May I ask if you want so many copies of the < Tiandō League Times > for your family and the people to read? "
The enthusiastic young man was stunned and then said awkwardly, "That, that's not it. Although the content of the < Tiandō League Times > is nonsense, it is printed on the best parchment. I want to buy it to make clothes, or to cover the windows. I even want to wash it clean and sell it to the nobles. It is also excellent."
Suddenly, Wu Youming's chest tightened and he almost vomited blood!
Then his hand tightened. He really couldn't help but pull out his sword and cut the person in front of him into pieces!
*****
Just like that, Wu Youming's < Tiandō League Times > was only published for one issue and then completely ended.
Moreover, no one in the Seven Refined Lane dared to mention the < Tiandō League Times > again.
Following that, a few people in Zhongjing suddenly died mysteriously.
A foot soldier was cut into eight pieces.
A restaurant owner had his eyes gouged out and his throat slit.
There was also a vagabond who had his tongue cut out, eyes gouged out, and four limbs broken.
In this battle of public opinion, the reason why Wu Youming lost so badly was because he was too ungrounded, too arrogant, too proud, and too protective of his own reputation.
Yang Dingtian, on the other hand, was baptized by countless gossip and news back on Earth. He could almost grasp the pulse of the situation in an instant.
Moreover, how ruthlessly had he slandered her? How could he bear to lay a hand on her?
Therefore, the power of the two newspapers was incomparable!
…
Of course, the failure of Wu Youming's newspaper was more than ten days ago!
And three days ago, < Chaos Times > revealed their true intentions. They used an entire page to report on the extreme evil of the Seven Refined Lane. Almost instantly, the Seven Refined Lane was trampled into hell!
No one knew if someone instigated it or if it was spontaneous.
Suddenly, more and more people gathered outside the Seven Refined Lane. There were also more and more people throwing things and stones into the Seven Refined Lane.
In an instant, the originally fragrant Seven Refined Lane was suddenly filled with a foul stench.
The Seven Refined Lane's doors were tightly shut as they tried to wait for the storm to pass.
However, more and more people were gathering outside the Seven Refined Lane's entrance.
Moreover, they had already started smashing and robbing!
…
First Madam Gongsun knelt in front of Wu Youming.
"Yang Dingtian is using his position to avenge a private grudge. He is trying to exterminate the Seven Refined Lane. Sect Leader, please help us."
Wu Youming sat on the chair with a gloomy expression.
He didn't know much about whether the Seven Refined Lane was clean or not.
However, after reading < Chaos Times >, he knew that the contents were true. Therefore, he really didn't want to get involved with the Seven Refined Lane. He didn't want to tarnish his reputation. After all, his reputation was very precious.
However, the Seven Refined Lane was his biggest and most loyal supporter in Zhongzhou. If he didn't help them, the remaining fence-sitters would undoubtedly abandon Wu Youming and join Yang Dingtian.
In the Tiandō League, Wu Youming didn't have many supporters to begin with.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Youming said, "Don't worry, I won't sit by and watch!
Lingxi will help you get justice! "
In the end, Wu Youming chose to compromise.
He wouldn't get involved personally, but he wouldn't leave them in the lurch either!
Lingxi's expression turned cold. "Don't worry, leave this to me."
Then, Lingxi walked into the inner chamber and said to First Madam Gongsun, "Pavilion Leader, let's discuss this!"
…
That night, Wu Youming brought Vulture to the Vulture Palace to pay a visit to Wulingzi. On one hand, he wanted to report the unfavorable situation in Zhongzhou. On the other hand, he wanted to avoid the impending trouble!
Very soon, Lingxi and First Madam Gongsun retaliated!
Yang Dingtian had just returned to Zhongzhou with Yun Junnu. Before he gave the order to encircle the Seven Refined Lane, he received the Seven Refined Lane's provocation and retaliation!
First Madam Gongsun and Sixth Madam Gongsun carried thirteen corpses and knelt in front of Zhongzhou's main hall.
Sixth Madam Gongsun (Ling Wu) held up a sign that read: Blood for blood, clear my name!
Using public office to avenge private grudges, heaven and earth turned upside down!
Meanwhile, Young Master Lingxi from the Vulture Palace led several hundred leaders from the Netherworld Sea who were close to the Vulture Palace and tens of thousands of people to surround Zhongzhou's main hall. He wanted Yang Dingtian to give justice to the Seven Refined Lane!
The Seven Refined Lane's methods were vicious enough. They sacrificed thirteen corpses.
Second Madam Gongsun had deep bloodstains on her neck. She had hanged herself to death.
On her corpse was written: I used my death to prove my innocence!
Fifth Madam Gongsun's face was pale. She was covered in white gauze and there was a sword pierced through her chest!
On her snow-white clothes were written with fresh blood: Yang Dingtian, clear my Seven Refined Lane's name!
Seventh Madam Gongsun's head burst open and she died!
On her back was also written with fresh blood: Yang Dingtian, clear my name.
Second Madam Gongsun, Fifth Madam and Seventh Madam all died a violent death.
Following that, the ten golden flowers of the Seven Refined Lane all drowned themselves in the water. Their bodies were completely naked. They used their deaths to prove their innocence!
Lingxi was indeed vicious. He was extremely vicious and merciless.
He used thirteen fresh lives to steal away the hearts of the people in an instant. He stole away all their sympathy.
The most difficult thing in all of history was death.
The people of the Seven Refined Lane were not even afraid of death. How could they commit such evil deeds?
When Yang Dingtian arrived, the crowd was already furious. They wanted to find the culprits who tarnished the Seven Refined Lane. They wanted to shut down the 'Chaos Times' and punish all of them!
When Yang Dingtian walked to the Zhong Capital Grand Hall, First Madam Gongsun immediately blocked his path. "City Lord Yang, please clear my Seven Refined Lane's name!
Execute Slave Yun Junnu, Song Lihua and the other culprits! "
Yang Dingtian looked at the thirteen pale corpses and said coldly, "What do the deaths of these thirteen people have to do with Slave Yun Junnu and Song Lihua?"
"They were the ones who set up the 'Chaos Times' under Sir Yang Dingtian's instructions. They spread rumors and slandered my Seven Refined Lane.
My Seven Refined Lane values our innocence as much as our lives. Many of our sisters couldn't bear the humiliation and killed themselves. "
First Madam Gongsun looked at Yang Dingtian and said coldly, "Sir Yang Dingtian, if you don't give me justice, I will immediately go to the Spirit Vulture Palace and kneel down. I will immediately call for justice in the world and take back the dignity and innocence of my Seven Refined Lane at all costs!"
"But the 'Chaos Times' didn't spread rumors and slander you. Instead, it was your Seven Refined Lane who spread rumors and slandered me." Yang Dingtian said.
"Evidence!" First Madam Gongsun said sternly, "Sir Yang Dingtian, please show us your evidence.
Otherwise, you will be executed without any sincerity. You don't deserve to be the leader of the Tiandō League! "
Rhinoceros said coldly, "Sir Yang Dingtian, if you don't show us your evidence today, we won't let this go.
Unless you mobilize an army to suppress us!
Otherwise, you will have to punish the 'Chaos Times' people and clear the Seven Refined Lane's name! "
Yang Dingtian looked at the tens of thousands of people present. They were here to force him to abdicate.
Almost all the forces close to the Sea of Hades and the Vulture Palace were here.
When Yang Dingtian looked at these people, some of them held their heads high, but most of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Without a doubt, these people didn't want to come to Yang Dingtian either, but they were forced to come.
The Vulture Palace had gathered many major forces and told them that if they didn't say anything when Yang Dingtian attacked the Seven Refined Lane, then when Yang Dingtian attacked them, no one would say anything.
Even so, most of the major forces in the Central Continent chose to wait and see. They didn't come to force him to abdicate.
Yang Dingtian looked at First Madam Gongsun, whose eyes were filled with viciousness. This person had already cut off all means of retreat.
He had to admit that this method was ruthless.
They knew that they were no match for Yang Dingtian when it came to public opinion. Therefore, they decided to fight him face to face.
They wanted to force Yang Dingtian to produce evidence of the Seven Refined Lane's crimes, or else they would clear the Seven Refined Lane's name, abolish the 'Chaos Times', and convict everyone who ran the newspaper!
This was completely a form of sophistry, a form of covert substitution of concepts.
Evidence? Where could they find the most direct evidence?
When the Seven Refined Lane killed the children, abducted the children, and killed the orphans, they didn't leave behind an Echo Jade.
Yang Dingtian's gaze inadvertently glanced at Fifth Madam Gongsun (Qin Zhi). She had an evil spirit in her body, so she couldn't die.
Yang Dingtian smiled coldly and said to First Madam Gongsun, "You want to die now?
Then I'll grant you your wish! "
