Upon learning of this, Xuankong Temple was greatly enraged, and the Great Master Wu Jing of the temple declared that he would not be a monk if he did not avenge this grudge.
Our reporter specifically interviewed the party involved, Long Aotian, who responded as follows:
“Wu Jing, you bald donkey! Seven hundred years ago, during the Tiandao Alliance Sect Competition, I beat the shit out of you, then beat you back into your own shit, and later even used your shit to beat you again. Have you forgotten?!”
Our reporter asked Mr. Zhao, an eyewitness from that year, who confirmed the incident and stated that he was the one who mopped the floor afterward.
Given the hostile relationship between the two parties, the current Chu Emperor, Chu Yunfei, is currently mediating and arbitrating. The latest developments will be closely followed by the Da Chu Newspaper.
Wu Yong looked at Mr. Zhao’s old face, finding it increasingly familiar. Wasn’t this his Junior Martial Uncle, Zhao Da, the Peak Master of Budao Sect’s Tongtian Peak? His mouth was practically split to his ears.
Thinking of this, Wu Yong sighed, lamenting the decline of public morals. He recalled that in the past, the Da Chu Newspaper, at the Great Chu Dynasty’s request, published everything based on the standard of seeking truth and being pragmatic. However, three hundred years ago, the first news article with a “shocking” headline was published:
“Shocking: Shu Mountain Sect Sect Leader Li Yifeng and a Mysterious Woman Had a Romantic Night with Nothing Happening, Suspected of Impotence!” This article appeared out of nowhere and instantly achieved the highest sales in the Da Chu Newspaper’s history.
The actual situation was that Elder Zhao Ling of the Kongling Sect visited Shu Mountain Sect as a guest. Shu Mountain Sect Sect Leader Li Yifeng had a past acquaintance with Zhao Ling and, to fulfill his duties as a host, arranged her accommodation and meals. Unexpectedly, they encountered the paparazzi of the Da Chu Newspaper.
Upon seeing the newspaper, Li Yifeng was furious. Without a word, he crossed the entire Central Continent, traveling from the southernmost Shu Territory all the way to the Da Chu Newspaper’s office in the capital.
After finding the paparazzi who had already been promoted to editor, Li Yifeng used his Dragon Roar Sword to shave off every single hair on the editor’s body. After that, Li Yifeng left gracefully, leaving only the bald editor to be publicly humiliated.
As soon as this incident spread, Li Yifeng immediately gained countless fans, becoming immensely popular for a time. Even the enrollment for Shu Mountain Sect became exceptionally smooth. However, this also set a bad precedent.
After all, the Da Chu Newspaper, to some extent, represented the face of the Great Chu Dynasty. Killing them would have too great an impact. Thereafter, whenever a powerful cultivator in the Soul Transformation Realm or above saw a newspaper article that displeased them, they would immediately draw their sword and head north, kindly providing a shaving service to the paparazzi. Thus, bald and eyebrowless people were often seen walking around inside the Da Chu Newspaper’s premises.
It was thought that after this incident, the Da Chu Newspaper would exercise some restraint. Who would have thought that this issue of the newspaper sold exceptionally well instead? Even the Chu Emperor, upon seeing the tax revenue, happily declared that the Da Chu Newspaper could write whatever it pleased from then on and even publicly bestowed a thousand taels of gold as “Long Hair Gold” upon the editor in the imperial court.
And so, the Da Chu Newspaper From now on embarked further and further down the path of gossip news.
Wu Yong walked and read the newspaper, passing through the peach forest, then crossing a wooden bridge, and finally arriving at the pavilion by the waterfall, where he casually found a stone stool and sat down.
At this moment, the sun was just right, casting fragmented light and shadow through the dappled leaves. A gentle breeze swept by, bringing wafts of peach blossom fragrance.
Each time the Da Chu Newspaper was sold, it would be specifically categorized and supplemented according to the specific circumstances of various Sects. Wu Yong turned to the “Budao Sect Special Edition” and began to read.
“Tianjian Peak Disciple Zhao Erhe Suspected of Seeking a Child with Heavy Gold; Can Men Get Pregnant?”
When Tianjian Peak Disciple Zhao Erhe went to Danxia Peak to steal aphrodisiacs, he accidentally stole prenatal medicine. After taking it with no effect, he secretly took it to Qingyun City to ask a doctor why the medicine had no reaction on him. Unexpectedly, this doctor was his Senior Brother from Dongting Peak, who recognized it as Budao Sect’s Danxia Peak’s prenatal medicine at a glance.
“Zixia Peak Peak Master Hu Bugui Plays the Zither Under the Moonlight; Sect Master Ren Pingsheng Declares a Strict Investigation of Paparazzi.”
Hu Bugui’s true form is a Ten-tailed Heavenly Fox, originally an Elder of the Qingqiu Clan. For unknown reasons, he traveled south to join the Budao Sect and cultivate the Dao of the Zither. After cultivating the Dao of the Zither, his playing often evoked resonance between heaven and earth. Most of the Disciples who joined Zixia Peak were fans of Hu Bugui.
“Nine Disciples of Tongtian Peak Undergo Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation Together to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm; Peak Master Zhao Da Bravely Acts as Protector and Dispels the Heavenly Tribulation.”
This time, nine Senior Brothers underwent Tribulation together on Tongtian Peak. Six of them successfully Broke Through to the Nascent Soul Realm, while the other three Senior Brothers unfortunately failed.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Junior Martial Uncle Zhao Da made a powerful move, forcefully dispelling the Heavenly Tribulation with a single “Great Luo Buddha Hand,” thereby protecting the safety of the three Senior Brothers. Unfortunately, these three Senior Brothers could only dissolve their bodies to survive, their cultivation reduced to less than one-tenth of its original state for this lifetime. Unless they encounter a miraculous opportunity, their cultivation will never advance further.
Looking at the sky, the sun cast golden light through the clouds, illuminating the distant, undulating mountains, dotted with lush green trees. Wu Yong rubbed his shoulders, thinking it was time to go back and rest early.
“Three Flowers, back to the nest.”
“Meow~” The Three-Flower Cat, who was chasing butterflies in the grass nearby, leaped up and landed on Wu Yong’s head. Wu Yong drew the long sword from his back and soared into the air on his Flying Sword, the Sword Qi causing the surrounding peach blossoms to scatter.
In the air, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters occasionally passed by, either on their Flying Swords or riding exotic beasts, roaring past. The Three-Flower Cat curiously waved its small paws in greeting, eliciting smiles from the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.
At this moment, Yunhai Peak was surrounded by dense clouds and mist. Wu Yong, stepping on his Flying Sword, shuttled through the clouds. The mist brushed against Wu Yong’s face, and his eyes gazed at the distant Yunhai Peak, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
