I took a deep look at this piece of land. I wanted to help Witch Ye Ji build a tombstone, but I thought it would be too desolate, so I gave up on the idea.
Due to the fierce battle, my phone was destroyed, and I didn't know where I was.
However, I soon found a road. After waiting for a while, I saw a big truck. I waved my hand, and the driver asked me to get in. Seeing that I didn't have enough clothes to cover my body, he gave me some rations and mineral water.
"Little brother, you must be a refugee from nearby, right?" he asked me casually.
"Oh." I was surprised, but I didn't deny it.
Then, I got to know what had happened recently from him. I regretted it. To be honest, I didn't expect that my decision would have such a big impact.
During the time I 'disappeared,' the villages near the border of Hua Xia had been looted to varying degrees. Most of the young people had gone out to work to earn money, so they didn't have the power to resist. Thus, there were many refugees who didn't have a place to stay. The driver saw that I was in a difficult situation, so he thought that I was one of them. It wasn't strange.
Without a doubt, not only was Shangguan Guoqiang humiliated, but the people of Nan Yun also couldn't raise their heads. Although the officials didn't announce my crime, the news spread like wildfire, and the more I tried to explain, the worse it became.
Some people said that I couldn't resist the temptation, and that the three small countries had offered me generous conditions, so I surrendered willingly.
That was a good comment. Some people slandered me, saying that I was a chess piece that the three small countries had placed in Nan Yun a long time ago. I had overcome many obstacles and made a name for myself in the capital, winning glory for Nan Yun's martial arts. I had won many cheers and admirers.
Speaking of which, the time was ripe. When the people trusted me the most, they received such news. Of course, they felt that their hearts had fallen to the bottom.
What's more, there were even people who 'searched' me and posted it on the internet. They even investigated which village I came from, hoping that someone nearby would send their regards to my parents. Fortunately, it was quickly deleted by the platform.
I was anxious, so I borrowed the driver's phone and searched the Internet. I found that many related words had been blocked. It seemed that someone wanted to protect me, but due to their limited power, they couldn't stop the rumors from spreading.
Ah, I thought about it for a while and guessed it.
I could only hope that the news wouldn't spread to that remote mountain village. I hadn't told them about the great honor I had obtained. On one hand, I was afraid that they would be overjoyed. More importantly, their ordinary lives would change.
This was not necessarily a good thing. For example, the elderly might have lived in the countryside for a long time. Even if their children brought them to live in the city, they would easily feel uncomfortable.
There were all kinds of conveniences in the city, but for them, it was not as comfortable as in the village.
It was because of this that I didn't tell them about my real situation. Although the information on my ID card wasn't very accurate, it wouldn't be difficult for someone to find them if they followed the clues. At that time, my peaceful life would be broken.
I could only pray that no one would harm them. Otherwise, I might turn into a beast that would bite anyone I saw!
I hope that my return this time can prove my innocence. As for what others say about me, that is their freedom.
Speaking of which, the source of the problem was that the Grand Wizard had captured me. However, the Grand Wizard's body was now missing. It was just that the people of the three small countries wanted to control the situation, so they definitely didn't report it.
Thus, ordinary people like the truck driver didn't know the inside story. The easiest way was to make the three small countries admit the Grand Wizard's death and publicly apologize to me.
It just so happened that I was still at the border. I created a social media account and recorded a video. I used this method to communicate with the Prime Ministers of the three small countries. I didn't beat around the bush and directly stated my intentions. I even emphasized that I had already sent the Grand Wizard to the next world. I hoped that the administrative personnel of the three small countries would take this issue seriously and sincerely apologize to me. Otherwise, I would definitely find time to have a long talk with their leaders.
When this video was posted on social media, it instantly went viral. Not only did the netizens of the three small countries know about it, it basically spread all over the world in less than half an hour!
One had to know that this was the information age. What happened a moment ago, as long as it was spread, it wouldn't take long for everyone to know about it.
This kind of extremely explosive news would definitely surpass all topics. When the higher-ups of the three small countries found out about it, they instantly became restless. The higher the position and power of the big shots, the more terrified they were, afraid that they would be killed at any time. Most importantly, no matter what they did, it was useless. After all, the other party was a peerless expert that even the Grand Wizard couldn't resist!
No matter how many bodyguards they hired, they wouldn't be enough …
Soon, the various big shots had an online meeting. Due to differences in opinion, they scolded each other during the video and the situation was a little out of control.
However, in the end, after a deep discussion, they still decided to lower their heads. Paper can't cover fire. They could deny it now, but if they angered that kid, not only would their personal safety be in danger, the three small countries would also be in big trouble.
Once the matter was exposed, it would be equivalent to slapping their faces. It was better to take advantage of the situation and at least leave some face.
Just like that, the highest leaders of the three small countries all publicly apologised and expressed their deep apologies. They made it very clear that it was not because they had pledged allegiance, but because of a temporary expedient, after a period of suffering, not only had they completed their counterattack, they had also killed the guardian deities of their three small countries, the Great Shamans!
