Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 129 Too Much Attention
There's no pressure online, and viewers can easily joke and chat.

The scene was exceptionally horrific. Zhang Sheng and Zhou Qingyun, both well-traveled and experienced, had never encountered anything like this before, and were both somewhat bewildered.

The main problem was that the battle happened too quickly, and Zhang Feng and his group died too quickly. The two of them didn't know what to do.

The media personnel were all stunned, except for the emotionless cameras, which remained unaffected and continued filming silently, faithfully recording everything that happened on stage.

When Shang Qingjun saw that Gao Wu was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief but was also somewhat troubled. So many people had died at once, and there were all sorts of live broadcasts. She didn't know what kind of trouble this would cause in the future!

Zhou Hongying, who was holding Shang Qingjun's arm, had bright, sparkling eyes and an uncontrollable excitement on her delicate and charming face.

The scene before her was incredibly exciting; Gao Wu's swordsmanship as he slew the bandits was so dashing. His fighting spirit was completely different from his usual sunny and cheerful demeanor.

In this state, Gao Wu truly possesses the aura of a strong person, and the captivating charm that commands respect.

Zhou Hongying enjoyed chatting and joking with the cheerful and sunny Gao Wu, but this liking was more like friendship. What she truly loved was Gao Wu's powerful state, the way he truly displayed his strength—mysterious, powerful, cold, ruthless, and even a little cruel.

This aura of strength captivated and charmed Zhou Hongying!
As for the corpses of enemies, they are merely stepping stones for the strong. Only by stepping on the corpses of powerful foes can the strong continuously rise higher and higher, reaching the pinnacle!

Zhou Hongying stared at Gao Wu with infatuated eyes, her face flushed and her body limp. Shang Qingjun, preoccupied with figuring out how to clean up the mess, didn't notice her close friend's unusual behavior.

With her back to Zhou Hongying, Song Mingyue could clearly sense the various reactions in Zhou Hongying's body. She had only one thought: this woman probably has some kind of illness; she suddenly developed a fever...

Song Mingyue didn't pay much attention to Zhou Hongying; she focused most of her attention on her surroundings and observed everyone who approached her.

There may be followers of the demon god hiding among them, so we must be careful.

Zhou Qingyun and Zhang Sheng were both shocked. As warriors, they knew all too well how terrifying the power displayed by Gao Wu was!
With two high-ranking warriors and five other warriors, killing them was as easy as mowing grass.

Judging from the battle scene, Gao Wu completely overwhelmed the seven warriors on the other side! This isn't just a young king, he's practically a king of warriors!

Realizing the power of Gao Wu, Zhou Qingyun was both shocked and extremely excited. The sudden incident involving the Demon God Cultists was a godsend, as it propelled the "King of the Northern Continent" event to its peak popularity!
Two inspectors rushed onto the stage. They glanced at the crisscrossing pieces on the ground and suddenly pointed their guns at Gao Wu.

One of the inspectors shouted, "Put down your sword!"

Gao Wu calmly looked at the two inspectors: "Don't be nervous, you two."

Before he could finish speaking, both patrol officers had already fired at Gao Wu simultaneously.

Flames shot from the muzzle, and the deep, resounding gunshots pounded into everyone's ears.

The media personnel on stage were all terrified, their faces turning pale. No one expected that the two inspectors would suddenly open fire.

Zhang Sheng and Zhou Qingyun immediately realized something was wrong, but they didn't have time to react.

Gao Wu, however, was prepared. He took advantage of the gap to recite the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra again, stimulating the source power of his acupoints. Although it was far from the state of his full power just now, it was more than enough to deal with the two novice warriors.

Before the two patrol officers could even fire their guns, Gao Wu had already drawn his sword and charged forward.

The high-explosive propelled the bullet at an extremely high velocity, at least twice the speed of sound. The metal bullet struck Gao Wu even before the gunshot rang out.

The source force field generated by Gao Wu's source force, transformed from the blue light, is like a clear, light garment that fits the body, repelling all the metal bullets carrying powerful kinetic energy.

The two sides were less than ten meters apart. Within 0.3 seconds, Gao Wu had already rushed in front of the two patrol officers. The two patrol officers also drew their swords and slashed at Gao Wu.

The four-foot blade of the Destiny Sword vibrated rapidly under the stimulation of source power, transforming into a twisting and flowing brilliant sword light amidst a buzzing sound, shooting directly at the face of the inspector on the left.

The inspector hurriedly raised his sword to block, and as the two swords clashed, the rapidly vibrating Destiny Sword immediately deflected the opponent's sword by several inches. The inspector was also shaken so badly that half of his body went numb, and his protective energy field was violently fluctuating.

The Heavenly Fate Sword pierced straight through the gap of a few inches, flashing and piercing through the opponent's source energy field, leaving a deep sword mark on the opponent's brow that penetrated into the brainstem.

In an instant, the left-side inspector died from the sword.

With a twist and turn, the brilliant sword light flashed, deflecting another inspector's sword in the same way, and then piercing deep into the other's brow in the same manner.

The kinetic energy carried by a 22-kilogram blade is terrifying, not to mention the high-speed vibration as the sword penetrates.

Both inspectors had only a crimson sword mark between their eyebrows, but their brainstem was shattered by the shockwave of the sword, and they died instantly.

Gao Wuyuan's cultivation level was already far superior to that of the two patrol officers. With the blessing of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, and the Heavenly Fate Sword in his hand, he had also elevated the Wandering Dragon Sword to the Great Perfection level.

In every aspect, he completely overwhelmed the two demon god followers, and the battle ended in just one exchange.

Gao Wu walked between the two demon cultists, and sheathed his Destiny Sword once more.

As Gao Wu slowly turned around, two followers of the demon god had already fallen to the ground.

Viewers who witnessed this scene via live stream were abuzz with excitement.

"Holy crap, he really killed someone!"

"These two people opened fire for no reason; they must be followers of the demon god..."

"You just killed him like that? You should at least ask him something!"

"You idiot in front, what the hell are you asking in such a dangerous situation!"

"Whether this guy is the king of youths in the Northern Continent is hard to say, but he is definitely the king of youth killers..."

"Bullshit! Slaying the followers of the demon god is a great act of merit!"

While online viewers were still in the mood to chat and boast, the audience at the scene wasn't so calm.

It wasn't until this moment that the audience below the stage truly reacted, and everyone gasped and retreated, creating an extremely chaotic scene.

Just as a stampede was about to occur, Gao Wu drew his sword about a foot from its sheath and used his source power to unleash a deep yet extremely sharp sword cry.

A clear, ringing sound, like an invisible divine sword piercing into everyone's heart.

The chilling, ruthless killing intent shattered everyone's consciousness and panic.

The scattered, running crowd seemed to have been paused, and the chaotic scene was frozen into a picture in an unbelievable way.

Gao Wu shouted again in a low voice: "Everyone calm down, don't panic, leave the field in an orderly manner."

As the audience gradually regained consciousness, they instinctively followed Gao Wu's instructions and began to leave the venue slowly and in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Zhang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. If a stampede had really happened, he, as the organizer, would definitely have to take the blame!

Fortunately, Gao Wu not only killed the demon god's followers who suddenly broke in, but also brought the chaotic situation under control, preventing a tragedy. As for the two patrol officers who were killed, they were clearly suspicious as well. Regardless of whether they were demon god's followers or not, they deserved to be killed simply because they opened fire.

For a company as large as Longteng, this little thing is no problem at all.

The biggest problem right now is the various media outlets filming on-site. Official media are relatively easy to deal with, but the real concern is that independent media outlets might try to profit from the tragedy… distorting the truth and offering nonsensical explanations of the incident…

After a few minutes of commotion, the online media platforms realized what was happening and shut down all related live streams.

Shen Yue's live stream room was also shut down.

However, these actions were a bit too slow. When viewers watching the live stream realized something was wrong, many started recording the screen.

Public dissemination was temporarily cut off, but the related videos spread rapidly through private traffic.

These videos are often shared in group chats on platforms like Fetion and Kuaiyin.

Violence, gore, and pornography are always the hottest topics. The video content also involves cult followers, battles, and killings, making it extremely explicit.

The speed at which videos spread increases exponentially.

A few minutes later, Bai Yandu, who was in Anjing, saw the video.

Bai Yan had a wide circle of friends, which allowed him to see the video in the private group chat. For the other group members, it was just something to watch for entertainment. But he sensed something was wrong.

For decades, the Alliance has cracked down on the followers of the Demon God, turning these guys into cockroaches and rats, only able to operate secretly in dark corners.

The fact that the followers of the Demon God appeared in broad daylight, attempted to kill Gao Wu, and mobilized so many people is highly unusual.

Considering the situation in Changling City, it seems that this group of demon god followers are preparing to flee and want to pull off a big heist before leaving.

On the other hand, it also shows that the followers of the demon god are beginning to have the courage to challenge the order, which is a very bad omen!

As for Gao Wu killing a group of demon god followers, there's not much to say. After all, Wan Canglong was killed by Gao Wu, so these few warriors were nothing special.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yan contacted Shen An, who was leading an investigation in Changling. Given this unexpected situation, he needed to communicate with Shen An.

Shen An was somewhat surprised to receive the call. He held a meeting with his men, preparing to take action that evening.

To maintain secrecy, all wireless communications were shut down. He was the only one still carrying a mobile phone.

Shen An received the video via Fetion and then realized what had happened, leaving him somewhat helpless.

The two warriors who appeared in the Dragon Claw Peak secret realm had already been identified as being from Changling. After resolving the troubles in Dacang Town, Shen An stayed in Changling to oversee the investigation.

There has been a significant breakthrough recently.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Shen An abandoned his daytime pursuit of the demon god's followers and was planning to close the net in the next couple of days, but unexpectedly, this happened.

Zhang Feng and Zhang Ye were his targets, yet they caused trouble while he was in a meeting. This was no coincidence; someone must have tipped them off!

If it weren't for Gao Wu's powerful counterattack, he would have really embarrassed himself this time!
After hanging up the phone, Shen An glanced at everyone in the conference room. There must be Demon God believers in departments such as public security, supervision, the Hunter Association, and the Guard Corps, or they must have maintained close contact with Demon God believers.

To ordinary people, followers of demons are undoubtedly heinous criminals. But to some in power, they are useful tools.

They may not actually believe in anything; they just use whatever is useful without considering the destructive consequences.

Shen An did not release the video, nor did he say much, but continued to chair the meeting...

Several followers of the demon god who carried out the open attack are dead, but this is not the end, but the beginning!
Do you really think you can achieve separation through extreme measures? It's not that easy! He's determined to get to the bottom of this. The more chaos there is, the tougher the measures must be to maintain order as much as possible.

No matter what happens in the future, those guys who show their faces first must die!
That evening, Gao Wu was sparring with Song Mingyue on the rooftop balcony when Shen An arrived.

Gao Wu and Shen An were quite familiar with each other, and Gao Wu was happy to see this familiar elder.

"Uncle Shen, what brings you here?"

"I heard about your heroic deeds, so I came to see for myself."

Shen An looked Gao Wu up and down and found that Gao Wu looked relaxed and at ease, as if the events of the day had no effect on him.

He also admired the boy's thick skin; after such a big incident, he could still act as if nothing had happened!
Killing a follower of a demon god is nothing in itself; the key issue is that it was done in public, in front of thousands of people, and with various online live streams.

The video of Gao Wu killing the followers of the demon god has spread across the entire internet through private traffic, and it is currently the hottest video, which has also sparked various opinions.

Some people believe that Gao Wu went too far in killing people. He was clearly skilled in martial arts and could have shown mercy, but he killed everyone. He was obviously cruel and bloodthirsty by nature!

Some people even shouted that Gao Wu should be tried and executed for being so easy to kill!

Such extreme statements are actually just the clamor of a small group of people.

Even if most people have never encountered a follower of the Demon God, after years of education, they still have an extreme aversion to them and highly approve of Gao Wu's behavior.

However, the extreme minority often makes particularly loud noises, leading people to mistakenly believe their voice represents the mainstream. This can cause distress to ordinary people and even influence certain opinions...

Shen An knew, of course, that this argument was both stupid and malicious. There were about six or seven thousand ordinary spectators present, and if any of the demon god's followers lost control and rushed into the crowd, it would immediately cause a huge tragedy.

In this situation, Gao Wu had to ruthlessly eliminate all the demon god's followers. Even so, the panic nearly escalated into chaos. It was only thanks to Gao Wu's skillful handling of the situation that a major disaster was averted.

"You handled the situation very decisively today, very well."

Shen An highly praised Gao Wu's actions today, saying, "All departments recognize and highly approve of your actions. The Changling Administrative Office is even preparing to award you an prize."

Gao Wu was somewhat surprised; he could actually get a reward for this? He was also pleasantly surprised; any reward, however small, was always good!

"The reason why the followers of the demon god are so rampant is because the spatial anomalies are accelerating."

Shen An sighed and said, "The situation will only get worse from here on out. For your safety, let's cancel the rest of the roadshow..."

Today, Gao Wu has become the center of attention and the focus of public opinion, which may not necessarily be a good thing for Gao Wu personally.

The followers of the Demon God are likely to target Gao Wu, so from all perspectives, continuing the roadshow would be very unwise.

Gao Wu understood this perfectly. He could handle high-level warriors, and even martial arts masters, but what if a martial arts master came along?
“You’re too popular right now, it’s not safe for you to stay in Dongjiang.”

Shen An said, "I've spoken with Dean An, and she'll arrange a dormitory for you at Qinglong Academy. Within the Anjing University area, no one dares to act recklessly... It will also be convenient for your studies and cultivation..."
