I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 246 Unfollowed (36)

That night, Zhang Zhenyue was thrown out, and then Li En rescued him.

All the bones in his body had been crushed, and now he was as soft as a leather water bag.

Upon seeing Zhang Zhenyue like this, the former chairman crushed a phone in his hand and roared at Li En, "What happened! Why has Zhang Zhenyue become like this?"

“How should I know!” Li En replied unhappily.

"Weren't you going to protect him?"

"I need to protect myself first. Why would I risk my life for 60,000 a month?"

"you!"

The former chairman glared at Li En and temporarily stopped pursuing the matter, instead sending someone to treat Zhang Zhenyue.

Although he was dissatisfied with Li En, he also knew that he couldn't afford to offend a Foundation Establishment expert, and that the other party's willingness to come was already out of consideration for their past friendship.

After listening to Li En's explanation, the former chairman gradually calmed down.

I had intended to win over Director Luo, but I unexpectedly ran into Chen Yu there.

As a result, Li En was scared away by Chen Yu driving the Hercules, leaving Zhang Zhenyue alone to be tortured like this.

You, a Foundation Establishment expert, were scared away by a Qi Refining junior? Are you really a Foundation Establishment expert?
Despite his anger, the former chairman knew that Tianyuan now had Zhao Ziri backing it up and Zhong Zheng providing legal support, making Li En a formidable opponent.

Now, with geniuses like Chen Yu emerging among the younger generation, these old-timers really can't wait any longer.

The former committee and the current committee are mortal enemies. Once the new generation of cultivators in Tianyuan grows up, these people will definitely be purged again, and they may really be condemned to eternal reincarnation.

In order to have any chance of survival, they must plunge the current Tianyuan into a quagmire so that they can regain power, even if it means selling Tianyuan again.

Letting out a long breath, the former president said fiercely, "Since that's the case, let's begin. Prepare the ritual, and we'll invite the Thunder God!"

A large number of pure spirit stones were purchased, then drawn into an array and placed in the room.

Subsequently, the highly paid temple priest began to pray here, and soon a phantom image of a Thunder God slowly appeared.

The other party looked at them arrogantly, lightning flashing in their eyes, and smiled when they saw the large number of spirit stones.

With a sniff, a large amount of spirit stones were drawn into his nasal cavity, followed by a thunderous voice: "You've been kind enough to invite me here. What brings you here?"

The former president immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "I want to report this! The Tianyuan Cultivator Management Committee used illegal means to record videos of the former committee members, incited riots, interfered with the company's normal law enforcement, damaged hospital and prison facilities, and colluded with demonic cultivators."

"The matter of demonic cultivators is not under my jurisdiction; you should go to the Changsheng Prefecture's supervisory office for that. However, I can help you submit an application for other matters, but whether it will be approved is up to you."

"Understood!"

Having said that, the illusory image of the righteous god closed its eyes. Inside the image, it was as if a thunderstorm was raging, with endless lightning flashing, which was the righteous god making a request and communicating.

A moment later, the illusory image reopened its eyes: "It's done. The relevant application process has begun. However, you were not in the right about what happened back then, so don't hold out any hope."

"That's alright. But I hope that the truth will be judged statewide, how about that?"

"A judgment of consciousness? Sure. But let me warn you beforehand, the backlash from such a thing is extremely strong. The slightest mistake could lead to utter destruction. Are you prepared?"

Looking at the solemn phantom image of the righteous god, the former president felt guilty for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "No problem."

"Alright, then the trial shall begin. You may proceed."

After saying that, the Thunder God disappeared, leaving only the former president, who was panting heavily.

After a while, Li En was the first to recover and looked at the chairman, saying, "You're really willing to go to such lengths, daring to use consciousness judgment." A ruthless glint appeared on the former chairman's face: "Now that Tianyuan is locked down by trade restrictions, the outside media will hardly report any news that is favorable to them. As long as we join forces with the Xu Group, what can they do to us?"

"Consciousness Trial" is the title used by the Star Lord, while other cultivators prefer to call it "Public Opinion War."

This is a tactic used by conglomerates to attack a small company or city. They continuously spread propaganda through the media, claiming that the company is an evil entity. Once this reaches a certain level, they can distort people's perceptions and ultimately convict the target.

Through this method, previous crimes can be cleared, innocent people can become guilty, and morally upright people can be slandered as prisoners. The reversal of right and wrong is just a matter of public opinion.

In the end, the truth will be covered up, the past will be altered, and the former committee will return to Tianyuan with the support of the Star Lords to continue the good old days.

However, this method also has a strong backlash. If it fails, one will be subjected to a hundred years of torture, and may even be directly condemned to eternal reincarnation, constantly falling into the animal realm, eventually having all one's mind and spirit worn away, becoming a speck of dust.

However, the former president is confident of victory.

Now is the best time to gather Tianyuan. The existence of the trade lock makes it almost impossible for various platforms to accept Tianyuan's submissions. The only one, Ah Station, is now half dead and has no influence.

If it's not possible now, then there's no other time.

They now have the environmental card, the historical card, the labor card, the demonic cultivation card, and the public opinion card, while Tianyuan has nothing.

No matter how you look at it, they're destined to win!

Moreover, the former president is preparing to personally demonstrate the outstanding abilities of Hehuan University graduates!
"Li En, please help me set up the environment and enhance my Daoist aura. I'm about to start the live stream!"

"You're really meticulous, kid."

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Moreover, this is a judgment of consciousness; the slightest lapse in concentration will lead to utter ruin. How could I possibly not use my full strength?"

"Then come on."

With the money swept away by Tianyuan and the support of his backer, the former president finally obtained the seed of Daoist cultivation and broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago.

Although it was just a foundation-building method from the Hehuan Sect, it still made him decades younger in one go.

His vibrant and youthful body revitalized him and reinforced his belief that his choice back then was correct.

A cultivator should think of himself!
Upon entering ThunderNet and starting a live stream, the former president faced the camera with a bitter expression and said, "Hello everyone, I am Cheng Jin."

As soon as he appeared, his million fans flocked to him, commenting on Cheng Jin's appearance on camera: "No matter when you look at him, my Cheng Jin is always so handsome!"

[He's clearly a Foundation Establishment expert, yet he's willing to stream for us. He's so incredibly kind to his fans.]

[It's been so long since I've seen Cheng Jin. What have you been up to?]

However, the streamer wasn't in good spirits today. What could be the reason?

Seeing that his fan base was growing, Cheng Jin continued, "I haven't been online for the past few days because I've been dealing with other things. Actually, there's something I haven't mentioned yet. That is, I am actually the grandson of the former chairman of the Tianyuan Committee."

Li En couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "He's acting like his own grandson."

Ignoring Li En, Cheng Jin said, "My grandfather was the former president. He recently passed away because he was unwilling to let the people of Tianyuan be deceived, so he risked his life to expose some internal matters. But those mobs actually humiliated my grandfather severely. However, my grandfather did not..."

Wait, who did you say you were?

"The grandson of the former chairman of the Tianyuan Committee."

[…I've unfollowed you. Goodbye.]
