Chapter 134 Li Jun: The Divine War in the South Seas? It Has Nothing to Do with Me
The aftershocks of the Southeast Asian "war of gods" are sweeping across the globe with unprecedented speed and force.
The internet has completely exploded!
Countless blurry images, shaky videos, and incoherent eyewitness accounts spread like wildfire across major social media platforms.
Keywords such as "Southeast Asian God War", "Golden Armored General", and "Three-Headed Demon God" instantly topped the trending search lists of various countries with overwhelming force, completely overshadowing the "International Extraordinary Event" related topics that Japan had spent a huge amount of money promoting.
This has garnered worldwide attention and sparked global discussion!
In particular, the image of the golden-armored general in the video, though blurry, still conveyed his extraordinary bravery and awe-inspiring presence, sparking countless speculations and associations.
Its armor style and weapon design clearly bear strong characteristics of the ancient Xia army!
Almost everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to that ancient and mysterious country in the East.
Within the Great Xia Dynasty, the internet was equally abuzz.
The public, who were previously indignant and confused by Japan's high-profile hosting of the event and the "lack of response" from the Great Xia government, are now completely excited!
"I knew it! The authorities were definitely preparing a big surprise! This golden-armored general looks exactly like an ancient general from our Great Xia Dynasty!"
"What a slap in the face! A blatant slap in the face! Sakura's still playing house with her shikigami, while all the gods here are fighting it out!"
"So cool! Who is this golden-armored general? Huo Qubing? Yue Fei? Or some great deity from Heaven?"
"It's definitely related to the authorities! The Night Watch is awesome! (voice cracks)"
"Where are those people who were pessimistic and envious of Sakura before? Come out and show yourselves!"
"That's what you call impressive!"
Public opinion on the internet instantly reversed, and there was jubilation.
Various posts speculating about the identity of the Golden Armored General have emerged one after another, and comedians have been quick to share their jokes.
The Night Watch headquarters was almost overwhelmed with calls from the media and various sectors.
But the Night's Watch was prepared, and responded to all media outlets with "we are verifying and understanding the situation," without giving a clear explanation.
This "tacit" attitude only made the public more convinced that this was the work of the authorities!
……
The Night Watch headquarters, the underground command center.
President Qin sat alone in his office, having finished reading the detailed report on the affairs of Southeast Asia submitted by the "enthusiastic masses".
The report was extremely detailed, from the group discovering the truth about the blood sacrifice, to Master Qingxu summoning the gods in a desperate situation, the arrival of the golden-armored general who annihilated the Blood Rakshasa and Sagu, and finally the golden-armored general's departure...
Every detail is crystal clear.
In particular, the report clearly states that the incomparably powerful golden-armored general was summoned by Master Qingxu using a peace talisman bestowed by Master Li as a guide through a divine summoning ritual.
Moreover, based on the armor and weapon styles of the Golden Armored General and the few words he revealed, he is very likely one of the 828 heroic souls of the Anxi warriors in the Kunlun Secret Realm!
After reading the report, President Qin was completely stunned.
It felt as if an electric current shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, making the hairs on his body stand on end and his scalp tingle!
Divine Realm!
That golden-armored general definitely possessed the strength of the Refining Void and Harmonizing Dao realm. In other countries, he would undoubtedly be a god-level expert! He was only one step away from becoming a legendary immortal or god in the Great Xia Dynasty!
And there could very well be 828 such beings?!
What terrifying power this is!
However, President Qin quickly calmed down and realized the crux of the problem.
The heroic souls of the Anxi warriors in the Kunlun Secret Realm, while possessing considerable strength upon leaving the secret realm and merging with the fish talisman, had definitely not reached the level of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao!
Otherwise, Wei Zhixing and his group would never have been able to get close to them, let alone collect the fish token.
Now these heroic souls have not only been "awakened," but they can also manifest such powerful divine general avatars...
There's only one possibility!
Master Li!
It's because of Master Li!
President Qin clearly remembers that he personally delivered the fish-shaped tally, which carried the heroic spirits of the Anxi warriors, to Qingfeng Temple on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Today is only the seventh day of the Lunar New Year!
All in all, it's no more than five days!
In just five days, Master Li caused such a dramatic change in the spirit within the fish talisman?
What an incredibly bizarre method!
President Qin sat in his chair, unable to recover for a long time.
He felt that his understanding of Master Li had once again reached new heights.
He now even has a strong urge to abandon his position as the deputy commander of the Night Watch and go to Qingfeng Temple to serve Master Li, even if it's just to serve tea and water and listen to his teachings. That would be an incredible stroke of luck!
"Knock knock knock".
Just then, a knock on the door pulled President Qin back from his stunned thoughts.
"Enter."
The secretary pushed open the door and entered, a hint of joy on her face: "President Qin, the online public opinion department reports that domestic public opinion regarding the Southeast Asian issue is currently very positive, with the public's patriotism and pride soaring. International public opinion, on the other hand, is generally shocked and is speculating about our country's extraordinary strength."
President Qin composed himself, his mind racing.
He suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity.
It can not only boost morale, but also put some restless neighbors at a low level, and even... appropriately guide the domestic trend of spiritual practice.
With the nationwide promotion of the "Basic Qi Refining Technique" imminent, some people are unable to resist the temptation, or are attracted by the "quick success" crooked methods of the Sakura Kingdom, and secretly try some dangerous methods, causing headaches for the Night Watch branches in various places.
Perfect timing! Let's use this incident in Southeast Asia to let the public see the consequences of evil ways that harm both themselves and others.
"Hmm, let's take this opportunity to do some publicity." President Qin pondered, "Highlight Master Qingxu's compassionate and fearless spirit, as well as his noble act of going to Southeast Asia to unite local patriots and thwart the Voodoo Church's blood sacrifice plot."
President Qin paused for a moment, then added, "As for the Golden Armored General... let's downplay it and leave it to the outside world to speculate."
There are countless eyes in the world watching the Great Xia now, speculating about the origins of the Golden Armored General.
Let them guess; the more outrageous their guesses, the greater the deterrent effect.
"Yes!" The secretary understood the intention and immediately went to make the arrangements.
Soon, guided by the official channels of the Night Watch and major media outlets, the glorious deeds of Master Qingxu began to spread widely.
A Taoist master from Daxia, deeply concerned for the common people and possessing profound Taoist skills, could not bear to see the people of Southeast Asia suffer a catastrophe. He resolutely went there, joined forces with local righteous forces, and fought wits and courage against the evil Voodoo cult. In the end, under the protection of the patriarch, he successfully averted a catastrophe that could have affected millions of people and saved countless lives from suffering...
.
The story is deeply moving, with a plot full of twists and turns.
Master Qingxu became an instant sensation!
He is revered by countless netizens as a moral exemplar and a contemporary saint!
Maoshan's reputation soared, and it enjoyed unparalleled fame for a time.
……
Lu County, Qingfeng Temple.
After finishing lunch, Li Jun habitually scrolled through his phone for a while and saw a deluge of news and videos about Southeast Asia.
Clicking on the clearest video, Li Jun couldn't help but gasp at the stunning scene of gold and blood intertwined, resembling a special effects blockbuster.
"This Master Qingxu... is too powerful!"
He never expected that Jin Hao's savior would cause such a big commotion in Southeast Asia.
Look at them, they traveled all the way to Southeast Asia to subdue demons and save people from suffering, and they even managed to invite such a powerful golden-armored general to help them.
This is the demeanor a spiritual practitioner should have!
My own meager skills are nothing compared to theirs; they're worlds apart.
"Maoshan truly lives up to its reputation as a millennium-old sect; its cultural heritage is profound!"
While reflecting on the situation, Li Jun suddenly recalled his experience of being caught up in the drama of the Longhushan incident, and a chill ran down his spine.
He thought about it carefully.
Although I have some connection with Maoshan, I have never actually met this Master Qingxu.
This incident in Southeast Asia seems to be something that Master Qingxu himself possesses extraordinary abilities and deep roots in Maoshan, and has nothing to do with me, right?
After thinking about it, Li Jun decided that he should just be a bystander and an observer this time.
"Hmm, this time it definitely has nothing to do with me." He felt relieved and turned off his phone.
I'm leaving for Kunlun tomorrow, so I need to prepare properly.
Meanwhile.
Far away in Southeast Asia, Master Qingxu, who was being treated like a hero by the local people and various forces, suddenly received a cell phone handed to him by his disciple.
The above is a news push from within the Great Xia Dynasty.
"A High Priest of Our Time! Daoist Master Qingxu Manifests His Miraculous Power in Southeast Asia, Preventing Blood Sacrifice and Saving the People!"
"The Spirit of Maoshan! Daoist Qingxu, with unwavering righteousness, single-handedly destroys the Witchcraft Cult!"
A Model of Taoism! Master Qingxu…
Master Qingxu looked at the exaggerated headlines, then at the countless praises and adoration from netizens, and the stories that portrayed him as a celestial being...
His hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
His face gradually turned pale.
Became famous?
He... he actually became famous in this way?!
To become a nationally and even globally renowned moral exemplar, a highly accomplished and enlightened being with profound magical powers?!
Are you kidding me!
Master Qingxu knew better than anyone what he had relied on to survive his trip to the rainforest!
It was all thanks to the peace talisman bestowed by Master Li! It was the peace talisman that summoned the golden-armored divine general!
My meager skills are nothing compared to the Blood Rakshasa, a demon god!
Now, all the credit and all the praise have been piled on his head?
How...how can this be allowed?!
Isn't this stealing credit from Heaven?!
Just as Master Qingxu was feeling extremely confused and anxious, his cell phone rang.
Upon closer inspection, it was a call from my senior brother, Qingwei.
Master Qingxu's hand trembled, and he almost threw the phone away.
He steadied himself, took several deep breaths, and then answered the phone.
"Feed... Senior Brother."
From the other end of the phone came the hearty laughter of Sect Leader Qingwei: "Junior Brother, congratulations!"
"Your trip to Southeast Asia has enhanced the prestige of Maoshan and greatly boosted the righteous spirit of our Taoist sect! Your reputation has now spread throughout the entire Great Xia! Even the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain can no longer match the influence of Maoshan! Haha!"
Master Qingxu felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said, "Senior brother! Please don't make fun of your junior brother!"
"Junior brother, there's no need to be modest. This is what you deserve."
"By the way, has everything settled on your end? When are you returning to the mountain? Everyone in the sect is eagerly awaiting your return, our great hero, to celebrate your victory!"
Master Qingxu remained silent.
He looked at the people in the distance with reverence in their eyes, and then touched the ashes of the peace talisman in his arms, which had turned to ashes but still seemed to retain a trace of Daoist charm.
In my heart, I made a decision.
"Senior brother..."
"I...I'm not going back."
"Hmm?" Sect Leader Qingwei was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Is there still some trivial matter to attend to? No problem, you can take care of it first, and come back later..."
"No," Master Qingxu said firmly, "Senior brother, what I mean is... I'm not going back to Maoshan."
On the other end of the phone, Master Qingwei remained silent.
Master Qingxu continued, "If it weren't for the divine intervention of Master Li's generals during this trip to Southeast Asia, I, your junior brother, would have already perished and my soul would have been scattered, let alone stopping the conspiracy and averting the disaster."
"Now, I, your junior brother, bear such a great reputation and receive countless praises. I feel truly apprehensive, ashamed, and have nowhere to hide!"
"All this merit comes from Master Li; I, your junior brother, am unworthy of such a great reputation!"
He paused, as if making a decision:
"I am all alone, with no attachments. For the rest of my life... I will stay in Southeast Asia to worship Master Li and pass on his kindness."
"In order to repay even a fraction of Master Li's life-saving grace."
As Master Qingxu finished speaking, a hint of shame crept into his voice:
"I would also like to trouble you, senior brother... to convey my apologies to my junior disciple Mingxin."
"The peace talisman that Master Li gave him... I never had the chance to return it."
On the other end of the phone, Master Qingwei remained silent.
After a long silence, he sighed softly and said in a complicated tone:
"That's fine then."
"Nanyang... your presence there is more meaningful than your return."
"Remember, Maoshan will always be your support. If you need any assistance, just ask."
The phone hangs up.
Master Qingxu held the phone, remaining silent for a long time.
The heavy weight in my heart seems to have been lifted a little.
He knew that this path might be lonely.
Only in this way could he feel a little at ease.
He turned and looked eastward.
That's the direction of Luxian County.
He bowed deeply.
