Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 424 Responding to Scorn
The whole world is laughing at Yinggao.

Unlike the limited video calls with Berkeley and the lack of in-person meetings, the Kabia incident which didn't spread widely, and the rainstorm crisis which mainly occurred domestically, this time Master Shenhao clearly crossed the border, removed the stone tower, and then returned openly.

Their arrogance and overbearing attitude were simply taking advantage of the other side's kindness and pushing their luck.

Can you bear this?

As a result, not only the United States, but also South Korea, Luzon, India, and even further afield, the United States, Canada, and Australia, have all been openly and secretly urging the company to produce the product.

Don't embarrass yourself! Cheer up!
Don't be a coward! Go and fight!
But Yinggao remained rational, not only ignoring the insults but also finding a reason that was logically consistent.

“The Hakko Ichiyu Tower, strictly speaking, is a religious building, and this incident is also an extension of the feud between the religious communities of the two countries.”

"The Celestial Master Shenhao of the Shangqing School of Tianxia Sanmao Mountain is nearly a hundred years old. It is understandable that he does not understand certain rules in the modern sense. Moreover, he did not cause any injury or death to the Cherry Blossom People, which shows that he is compassionate."

“We have always emphasized that Yinggao Taoism originates from the Book of Changes and shares the same origin as Tianxia Taoism. We are willing to act as a mediator and ask both sides to sit down and talk to resolve their grievances. We also hope that Tianxia Taoism will come to Yinggao to spread its teachings.”

"We have never conducted any education that instills hatred towards Tianxia, ​​and we hope that Tianxia will not carry out any education that instills hatred towards Yingbao,"

……

“Yes, we can define the Hakko Ichiu Tower as a religious building, extricate ourselves from this vortex, and become a third party, thus absolving ourselves of responsibility and obligation.”

"The other side is quite clever."

Inside the Taoist office, everyone was chatting happily.

"When Master Shenhao brought that tower back, our people were already prepared at Mochou Lake, but the other side didn't react?"

"No, they even extended invitations to the three ancestral temples of the Quanzhen School and the three famous mountains of the Zhengyi School through their system endorsement."

Everyone, "..."

"When it comes to shamelessness, we are still inferior to them."

"The spirit of craftsmanship!"

"What about those Onmyoji players who received massive amounts of attention? Have they responded?"

"Two did not respond, two responded that they were preparing altars and magical artifacts, and several others admitted that they were no match for Shenhao Zhenren and called on the Yinggao cultivators to unite."

Chen Yao was shocked. "Two more are preparing to retaliate?"

The host said, "Based on the analysis, these two people who responded are probably scammers. They don't know the intricacies of the cultivation world and may really think that the Yinggao cultivation world is similar to the Tianxia cultivation world. They are planning to take advantage of Yinggao's popularity after it regains its reputation."

"What about other countries?" Chen Yao continued to ask.

"There was no reaction, not even from Citibank." The host smiled. "Because everyone is waiting for Sakura Cream to take the lead."

"To be honest, I also hope that Yinggao will take the lead." The middle-aged man, who sat upright and had a serious expression, rarely smiled.

“Even if Yinggao leads the way, it won’t be your turn. You’re already in the Taoist office,” said a middle-aged man of average appearance.

Then the first person immediately stopped laughing.

But the others laughed even harder.

……

Although the news of Master Shenhao bringing the Bahong Yiyu Pagoda back to Jinling caused a great stir, there are simply too many events worldwide that generate such a strong public reaction. These days, there are several world-shaking events almost every month. People are already overwhelmed with shock.

With the existence of superhumans already known worldwide, and self-proclaimed superhumans existing in various parts of the world, including the United States with its own superhuman organizations, Master Shenhao neither killed nor caused any damage. Aside from making a bit of a fuss, his actions were less consistent than those of superhumans who post updates every day.

Unless a special event brings it up again, people will not bring it up again.

Therefore, apart from Tianxia and Yinggao, which had the greatest impact, or more precisely, Jinling and Miyazaki, attention in other places was quickly diverted to other major events.

For example, wildfires broke out again on the west coast of Citibank, strikes broke out in various industries in Gaul, the rivalry between the two major powers continued, and the US tried hard to make its presence felt in the news...

Gu Zhao accompanied the two women on a tour of Jinling before returning to Yangcheng and traversing to another world.

……

Upon returning to the Daluo Palace, Gu Zhao scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that all the old Taoist priests he had previously summoned were gone.

"Uncle Qingye, have Uncle Fangde and the others all gone down the mountain?" Gu Zhao asked Qingyuan Daoist, who had just returned to the mountain.

Master Qingyuan nodded and said with a simple smile, "Everyone has learned the Golden Light Mantra and their magical power has been restored to its full strength. Unable to bear the loneliness, they have all gone down the mountain."

Gu Zhao's expression shifted, and he looked at Daoist Qingyuan with surprise, "Uncle-Master has made another breakthrough?"

Master Qingyuan scratched his head and laughed, "Just lucky, just lucky!"

Gu Zhao chuckled, "Uncle-Master is single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, with a pure heart, and his cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds. It is truly a cause for celebration."

Back then, when Gu Zhao went to Zhenwu Mountain to recruit people, he searched all over the mountain but couldn't find the Qingwei Daoist he was looking for. Instead, he met the Qingyuan Daoist, who looked like an old farmer, on the way down the mountain.

This is the destiny of Master Qingyuan, and also the destiny of Gu Zhao.

Master Qingyuan spent his life practicing martial arts and farming. He was exceptionally talented and simple-minded. After arriving in another world, whether he was exorcising demons or focusing on cultivation, his progress was incredibly fast.

Ultimately, at a relatively young age, he joined the first tier of the Daluo Palace, surpassing his senior brother, Daoist Qingwei, and being on par with Daoist Shenhao.

Even though Master Qingyuan has reached his current level of cultivation, he is still exceptionally low-key and unassuming. Apart from setting up the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation a few times, he rarely makes a move.

But true skill doesn't lie. Master Qingyuan's aura flowed with yin and yang, merging with Tai Chi. Standing there, he seemed to blend into nature. Looking directly into someone's eyes, it was as if one was about to fall into a vortex of black and white.

"Is everything alright in Pingjiang Prefecture?" Gu Zhao asked.

"It's alright. The Ink Dragon is dead, and the demons of Ink Lake were wiped out in one battle. The remaining few can be handled by the disciples of the Great Luo Palace who were dispatched. My senior brother and I often have nothing to do, so we go for a stroll along the upper and lower reaches of the Wanling River," Master Qingyuan said with a smile.

Pingjiang Prefecture is located in the middle of the five southern prefectures of Jiangzhou, surrounded by Lianshan Prefecture, Qianshan Prefecture, Baishi Prefecture, and Changping Prefecture. Once the internal situation is cleared, the only external enemies can come from the Wanling River in the north.

However, there are also many monsters coming from Wanling River. Jiangbei is still under the rule of the imperial court, with the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Lingfa Court maintaining basic order. Some of them have committed many evils and can no longer survive in Jiangbei, so they will go south.

To the north of Changping Prefecture lies the Wanling River. The Daluo Palace frequently encounters demons heading south, which they then transform into malevolent energy to enhance their cultivation.

"Everyone here has a fierce aura, and they are all making rapid progress."

As soon as the Taoist priest Qingyuan finished speaking, Gu Zhao sensed something and looked up to see three streams of light coming from the southeast and two streams of light coming from the southwest.

"After all that arguing, it ended in a draw," Gu Zhao said with a smile.
