Super War God in the City

The next day, Tian Yun refuted the rumors, and both sides engaged in a heated war of words that filled the sky.

The other parties who had been vocally supporting, also gradually calmed down.

At this point, everyone realized that this was just a war of words, which, no matter how protracted, would not yield any substantive results.

In the end, the matter naturally fizzled out.

However, the waves stirred up by this incident were far from subsiding.

First, the interest group led by the former Long Tianjun began to stir.

As the First Family of the Imperial Capital of Huaxia, the Long Family had countless submissive family forces under its command, among which the interest group centered around Long Zhengye and his son, Long Tianjun, concentrated most of the power.

Owing to Ling Fan's involvement, Long Zhengye died, Long Tianjun was deposed, and power shifted to Long Tianyu. As the saying goes, "A new king brings his own court."

Those factions that had once followed Long Tianjun and his son were suppressed and marginalized by Long Tianyu, who in turn promoted the forces he trusted and was close to!

Upon receiving the news, Long Tianjun immediately contacted these people.

Despite losing power himself, he still held some prestige among those allies who had also fallen from grace.

Everyone still harbored a little fantasy—what if, one day, the sun rose in the west?

When the news that Ling Fan had been bombed to death in the Snow Country swept through Huaxia, these people were suddenly excited. Could it be that their wish for the sun to rise from the west had come true?

Additionally, because of this, the old master was implicated.

Some took this opportunity to strike, including various groups who pursued Long Tianjun and his son and were aggrieved over their impaired interests.

Thus, an invisible hand in the background pushed a very unfavorable public opinion campaign against the old master, launching a movement to condemn Ling Fan and the old master.

For a moment, the figure at Wolong Garden was suddenly the target of public criticism.

At this time, Secretary Song came to the old master with a somewhat grim look on his face.

The old master was practicing sword moves, and upon seeing Secretary Song approach, he immediately ceased his sword moves and rose to his feet.

"Speak, what's the matter now!" the old master said.

Secretary Song looked at the old master, his eyes slightly red, thinking of the disgrace the aged master had to endure, and could not help but feel choked up!

The old master glanced at Secretary Song's expression, raised his eyebrows, and joked, "What, did a relative pass away? You look like you're attending a funeral!"

With red eyes, Secretary Song struggled with his emotions and said, "Commander, there are some unkind voices against you out there, and I'm holding back my anger on your behalf!"

"Oh?" The old master sheathed his sword, looking curious.

"Go on, let this old man have a look as well!"

Taking a deep breath, Secretary Song promptly reported the rumors and hearsay from the outside world to the old master.

The old master fell silent upon hearing this.

After a moment, he couldn't help but let out a light chuckle. In a lifetime, was it not normal to face some criticism? Was there a need to be this way!

Seeing that the old master was not too affected, Secretary Song immediately controlled his emotions.

"I just feel it's terribly unfair. What right do these people have to attack you like this!" Secretary Song felt uncomfortable.

"This incident was an accident that allowed others to seize something to use against me. Last time, when Ling Kid made moves against the Long Family, I supported him from behind, taking the opportunity to challenge the vested interests of many! Now that this has happened, those jumping clowns will certainly take the chance to make a fuss. It would actually be strange if things were calm and quiet!

So, why should you feel wronged? In the future, if you go out on your own, you'll face all sorts of challenges just the same!" the old master spoke indifferently, demonstrating the casual poise of a king.

Secretary Song, upon hearing this, seemed to have an epiphany, and his mood settled considerably.

"I've done nothing wrong, and as long as he is not dead, time will prove everything!" the old master mused to himself.
