Third Young Master Shi had completely given up on Sword Immortal Ling Xu to avenge his father. Under his instructions, dozens of public literati who were proficient in word games, as well as twenty to thirty large media outlets, and two to three thousand personal media accounts simultaneously exposed the fact that Gu Xuan Yuan had murdered an amiable, kind, and benevolent old man.
In the descriptions of these articles, Gu Xuan Yuan was uniformly described as a crazy and sick murderer, while Shi Jueyuan was described as a kind, kind, and broad-minded old man who did everything possible to protect Yuzhang City for the sake of the people.
These articles could quickly bring the reader's emotions to Shi Jueyuan's head, thus causing them to explode with endless anger towards the murderer, Gu Xuan Yuan … This was also the usual routine of the media. For a media person, stirring up the reader's emotions and guiding the reader's standpoint was the most basic skill. If they couldn't even master this skill, then they weren't qualified to be a media person.
For a moment, the public on the Internet was indignant. They all expressed their anger towards Gu Xuan Yuan and urged the Sword Commission to act quickly and bring this murderer to justice.
However, these emotions only appeared on the Internet in the other seven cities.
But in Yuzhang City, there was no market for such emotions. On the contrary, almost all the people of Yuzhang City stood on Gu Xuan Yuan's side. This was because all the people of Yuzhang City had seen Gu Xuan Yuan fight to the death for Yuzhang City. Without Gu Xuan Yuan, they would have been dead long ago. Even if Gu Xuan Yuan was really a heinous bastard, they would definitely stand on Gu Xuan Yuan's side.
Moreover, for the people of Yuzhang City, everyone had a scale in their hearts. Everyone knew very well what kind of person Shi Jueyuan was.
Therefore, very quickly, the people of Yuzhang City spontaneously defended Gu Xuan Yuan on the Internet.
The way the people of Yuzhang City refuted was not like the media people that Third Young Master Shi had created. Most of them used simple words and videos. The people of Yuzhang City had a variety of ways to refute.
In addition to the most basic verbal refutation and live video refutation, there were also animations, ridicule, music, and the like … The most famous of these was probably a video made by an author.
At the beginning of the video, it fully showed the situation that Yuzhang City was facing at that time to the audience outside of Yuzhang City. It showed how Yuzhang City was on the verge of collapse, and the lives of 40 million people could be killed by Yuan Kou in the blink of an eye. It made the audience's hearts tighten to the extreme.
In the middle of the video, the style of the scene changed. Gu Xuan Yuan appeared out of nowhere. Under the editing of this author, he used all kinds of tight, flashing, high-speed changing scenes, and all kinds of divine songs such as drawing swords, drawing guns, and nuclear explosions to make Gu Xuan Yuan's battle look impassioned. Everyone who saw this battle couldn't help but feel their blood boiling. Especially the last part where Gu Xuan Yuan rode on the giant dragon Kangna to fight with Adam. It directly made everyone's blood boil to the extreme, and their heads started to emit smoke.
Of course, the author didn't edit the part where Kang Na turned into a loli. Otherwise, the whole scene would be too strange.
And at the end of the video, the author even appeared in person and revealed his true face. He didn't hesitate to tell the audience about the real Shi Jueyuan.
Under the author's oral narration, the netizens learned that Shi Jueyuan wasn't an ordinary old man, but the head of the Jiandi family. At the same time, the author also talked about Shi Jueyuan's craziness, selfishness, power struggle, harm to the people, bullying men and women, and so on. He completely overturned the image of Shi Jueyuan that the media had created.
This made the netizens in other cities a little confused. They didn't know who to believe, and who was telling the truth.
Later, a video of 300,000 people in Yuzhang City writing a blood letter was uploaded to the Internet. These people volunteered to testify for Gu Xuan Yuan, proving that Shi Jueyuan was indeed a bastard. Only then did the trend on the Internet gradually turn to the side of Gu Xuan Yuan.
Faced with this situation, Third Young Master Shi was naturally terrified. He could only continue to invest more resources and bribe more Internet Water Armies to smear Gu Xuan Yuan's name and protect his father's image.
But no matter how many Internet Water Armies there were, how could they compare to the number of Yuzhang City netizens? The two sides fought each other on the Internet and launched a huge debate and debate. In half a month, the attention of the people in the eight major base cities was focused on Gu Xuan Yuan and Shi Jueyuan. In the end, even Third Young Master Shi couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
Finally, the debate was ended by a video released by the official account of Yuzhang City. This video didn't have any third-party narration. It was just a simple edit of some of what happened before Shi Jueyuan's death.
This included how Shi Jueyuan persuaded Sword Immortal Ling Xu to retreat, how he brazenly stated that it didn't matter if the forty million people stayed in the sanctuary, as long as they could protect the swordsman, and how Shi Jueyuan coveted the treasures of the Sword Pavilion in Yuzhang City. After using despicable means to send Yuzhang City's Sword Pavilion Lord Lu Xihua away, how he wanted to devour the Sword Maiden in the Sword Pavilion.
Finally, it was the scene before Shi Jueyuan's death. It was the conversation between Gu Xuan Yuan, Shi Jueyuan, and Sword Immortal Ling Xu in the Sword Pavilion, as well as the scene of Gu Xuan Yuan killing Shi Jueyuan in the end.
This video was shot from Sword Immortal Ling Xu's point of view. Clearly, it was automatically recorded by Sword Immortal Ling Xu with his personal terminal. The person who released this video was undoubtedly Sword Immortal Ling Xu himself. Therefore, there was no reason to doubt the authenticity of this video.
In this video, all the netizens thoroughly recognized Shi Jueyuan's true colors and knew what kind of a bastard Shi Jueyuan was. The debate on the internet ended in an instant, and the Third Young Master Shi's Internet Water Army was defeated in an instant. Even many of the Internet Water Army themselves jumped on the bandwagon and pretended to be innocent and deceived, condemning Shi Jueyuan along with others.
At this point, Shi Jueyuan and the Shi family's reputation became a pile of garbage. It became unbearably stinky. Even the Shi family's former friends couldn't wait to cut ties with the Shi family. The Shi family, one of the largest Emperor Sword Families in Yuzhang City, was instantly weakened. If it wasn't for the fact that the Shi family still had some foundation, they might not even be able to compare to the Yi family.
Third Young Master Shi reaped what he sowed. If he didn't want to start a war on the Internet to clear his father's name, all the netizens in Yuzhang City wouldn't have fought with him. In the end, even Sword Immortal Ling Xu couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to stand on Gu Xuan Yuan's side, posting crucial evidence.
However, the debate didn't end with the complete defeat of the Shi family's Internet Water Army. The sharp-eyed netizens extracted two pieces of information that interested them.
Firstly, this Gu Xuanyuan was the former Pavilion Master of Yuzhang City, the guardian of the Sun Moon Star in Shanhai Pass, and one of the three great heroes. She had stripped off the clothes of the Dragon Lion Sword Emperor's son, and was now the elder sister of the Famous Sword Rank Sword Wielder Gu Han, a wanted criminal … Oh right, now that Gu Xuanyuan had also become a wanted criminal, these two siblings were in the same boat.
Second, Gu Xuan Yuan's beauty. Thanks to the wonderful things that the video creator had done, Gu Xuan Yuan's peerless beauty instantly attracted a large number of fans all over the world. All kinds of Gu Xuan Yuan's fan clubs, QQ groups, and fan alliances sprang up overnight. It was said that someone in Yuzhang City even created a Goddess Xuan Yuan Sect, connecting Gu Xuan Yuan with the sun. They called Gu Xuan Yuan the Sun Goddess and worshipped Gu Xuan Yuan's portrait every day.
As a result, a few months later, Gu Xuan Yuan suddenly emerged as a new force in the world's largest selection of the world's most beautiful goddess on the Internet. With her well-deserved crushing strength, she completely crushed all the popular celebrities and was elected as the world's most beautiful woman.
Of course, there were also some things that might make Guhan unhappy. Many manufacturers began to privately produce and sell Gu Xuan Yuan's albums, Gu Xuan Yuan's drawings, Gu Xuan Yuan's beautiful pictures, shirts with Gu Xuan Yuan's pictures printed on them, Gu Xuan Yuan's special figurines, the artist's upper body, with its own Oupai mouse pad, Gu Xuan Yuan's full-color book, and finally, Gu Xuan Yuan's inflatable dolls.
That's right, in some romantic action movies, some women who looked similar to Gu Xuan Yuan were specially invited to dress up like Gu Xuan Yuan. Then, they got a legal loli to play the role of Kang Na, and sent out an indescribable short movie.
In any case, a wave of Gu Xuan Yuan's economy instantly flourished on the Internet, lasting for a long time. It was not until after Guhan ascended to the throne that he specially launched an anti-pornography campaign, sweeping away all the illegal products related to Gu Xuan Yuan, that this damned Gu Xuan Yuan's economy was barely curbed.
…
Of course, this was all in the future. Right now, Gu Xuan Yuan was completely unaware of this. She was currently chasing after Mu Xue and Lu Xihua, trying to save her disciple.
At this time, it had already been five days since Mu Xue and Lu Xihua set out. If they maintained their top speed, Mu Xue and Lu Xihua should have already left the borders of Hua Xia and arrived at the Middle East region, which was near Lengthen City.
However, before leaving Yuzhang City, Gu Xuan Yuan had asked Sword Immortal Ling Xu to contact Mu Xue's sword spirit, and discovered that she was still in a region where the signal could not reach. This meant that Mu Xue's sword spirit had not yet passed through the signal isolation zone. At this time, she should be in the Xinjiang region of Ancient Yan Huang, the ancient Pakistan region, the ancient Afghanistan region, and the ancient Iran region.
Even though he had already ascertained the location of Mu Xue and the Sword Spirit, this region was simply too big. It was so big that even Gu Xuan Yuan could not make heads or tails of it. He could only follow the path that they would most likely take.
"I hope nothing happens to Xihua!" Gu Xuan Yuan prayed in her heart.
