Chu Xinghe Held the Fort at Haotian Tower and Went on a Rampage!

Today, my Senior Brother Ma Liang came, and he brought his little cousin with him...

When Lu Chengqing heard that his Senior Brother Ma Liang planned to have his little cousin participate in Vast Heaven's Good Voice, he said he could make the arrangements.

When Senior Brother Ma Liang suggested that his cousin should be chosen as the runner-up, Lu Chengqing said he could arrange it too.

At the same time, Lu Chengqing also expressed his appreciation for Senior Brother Ma Liang's thoughtful consideration.

After all, if Senior Brother Ma Liang really wants the championship... then even Lu Chengqing wouldn't have a good idea. He'd at least have to ask Senior Brother Xinghe's opinion...

After all, she's your cousin, Ma Liang... Even someone with no brains, let alone a person with a brain full of rice porridge, would understand that your cousin was already chosen.

So, a runner-up finish is pretty much our limit... We can't afford to mess around with the champion.

But now, Senior Brother Xinghe has decided to pre-select the annual champion without any prior agreement?

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

You should know... Vast Heaven's Good Voice selects a monthly champion every month, and then all the monthly champions compete for the annual championship!

The runner-up Ma Liang referred to was the runner-up for a particular month...

Lu Chengqing pondered that finding a month with players who weren't too strong and making arrangements wouldn't seem too abrupt.

But isn't it a bit too outrageous to pre-determine the annual champion now?

If this news gets out now, it'll cause an uproar... and our Vast Heaven's Good Voice will probably be in an uproar too...

Lu Chengqing ordered his men to write a notice immediately.

But Chu Xinghe was so angry after just one glance at the notice that he tore it up!

Look at what's written on this! What does it say about a mystery player or someone who's already secured the annual championship?

Why are you being so mysterious with me? Just write it Bai Jingyan!

In addition to Bai Jingyan's background, it's also necessary to briefly introduce her origins, specifically mentioning that she is Ma Liang's cousin. We also need to include the fact that Ma Liang specifically helped his cousin cut in line through back channels.

Our Vast Heaven Sect acts with integrity and honesty; we are not the kind of people who engage in shady dealings or backroom deals... If this weren't made clear, people might think we were doing something underhanded or shady...

Lu Chengqing: "..."

Soon... the new notice was finished.

This time, I followed Senior Brother Xinghe's instructions exactly...

The notice first announced that Bai Jingyan was this year's overall champion... and stated that she was the pre-selected champion. It then went on to describe Bai Jingyan's situation in detail, especially the matter of her being Ma Liang's cousin, which Chu Xinghe ordered to be highlighted in red, bold, and with fire!

Even Ma Liang was stunned by this incredibly absurd notice.

"Um... Senior Brother Xinghe... isn't this a bit too harsh... should we change our rhetoric a little?"

Ma Liang was also sweating profusely... Although I, Ma Liang, am shameless... shouldn't we at least try to keep this underhanded operation out of the open?

Senior Brother Xinghe, that was a bit too rough...

Ma Liang could even imagine the reaction once the notice was posted... He figured Vast Heaven's Good Voice would be bombarded with criticism...

The entire Southern Branch will probably be utterly disgraced, won't they?

Um... Senior Brother Xinghe, maybe we should skip my cousin... She's still young, this honor is a bit too much for her. Perhaps we should reconsider in a couple of years...

Seeing Ma Liang cower at the slightest provocation, Chu Xinghe kicked him directly...

What do you mean "just let it go"? Post this notice right now!

Seeing the trembling figure of the steward of Haotian Tower who was in charge of posting notices, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears of emotion...

This time... tell me the hell how I lost!

Ah! How! Did! We! Lose!

The word "lose" doesn't exist in my dictionary! The Southern Branch is totally screwed over this round!

But Lu Chengqing, don't worry. No matter what the sect says, I, Senior Brother Xinghe, will take the blame. I will never let you be implicated because of Senior Brother Xinghe actions!

Soon, the notice for Haotian Tower was posted.

You have to understand, every notice posted by Haotian Tower now could affect the fate of countless people.

Therefore, whenever Haotian Tower posts a notice, it instantly attracts the attention of countless people.

But today, when everyone gathered at Haotian Tower see what kind of announcement it had made that might bring opportunities...

The scene was... somewhat too quiet...

In the past, whenever Haotian Tower posted notices, there were always people who considered themselves to be highly literate and would offer their interpretations, some even providing in-depth analysis and predicting Haotian Tower's next development goals.

Several of the most famous, self-proclaimed "know-it-alls" from Haotian Tower, have made a fortune by selling speculative information...

But this time, everyone was stunned when they saw the notice posted by Haotian Tower...

Centered around Haotian Tower, everyone who saw the notice had only a few thoughts in their minds.

Who am I? Where am I? This must be a dream!

No... such outrageous things shouldn't appear in dreams...

This is ridiculous! The Haotian Tower just randomly announced the winner of the annual championship on their notice board?!

Have we all time-traveled together? Have we traveled straight to the end of the year?

The monthly champion hasn't even been chosen yet, how can the annual champion be decided?

What's even more outrageous is that this annual champion Bai Jingyan— who the hell has ever heard of her?

What the heck? She's Ma Liang's cousin...

Doesn't that sound even more outrageous?!

If you said Bai Jingyan was some kind of world-renowned super musician, we could accept that to some extent...

But who the hell is this "Ma Liang's cousin"?

Has Haotian Tower gone mad?

We know Ma Liang came today, and it seems Chu Xinghe came too... but even if they did come... it doesn't have to be this outrageous...

You want to promote Ma Liang's cousin, and it's not that we can't accept it... but at least do it in a more discreet way...

Did you post the notice in the wrong place...?

Is this level of notice something we ordinary people should be able to see?

Shouldn't this be something you keep internally?

We've all seen plenty of pre-arranged results; in every competition around the world, who dares to say they haven't made pre-arranged decisions?

Although Vast Heaven's Good Voice claims to be free of shady dealings and behind-the-scenes manipulation, many people privately believe that Vast Heaven's Good Voice is only superficially clean... and who knows what dirty things are going on behind the scenes...

"What happened to the promise that Vast Heaven's Good Voice was free of shady dealings... no behind-the-scenes manipulation... they've rigged it right in front of us, okay...?"

"Yes... I've never seen such a blatant cover-up..."

"I've never seen such a shameless person!"

"You can't say that... There was definitely no foul play or manipulation by the Vast Heaven Sect in this match. Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang directly manipulated the outcome right in front of us..."

The entire audience. "..."

Not only were those who came to see the notice bewildered... but as the news spread, the whole world was stunned...

Upon hearing the message from his subordinate in Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu's first reaction was, "Am Zheng Yu still asleep?"

My second thought was... is this subordinate a spy for the Demonic Sect? Otherwise, how could he deliver such outrageous information?

But Zheng Yu quickly realized... this wasn't a dream, nor was there a problem with his subordinates' information... it was real, because everyone was stunned by the Vast Heaven Sect's blatant, head-on attack and the pre-arranged decision!

Zheng Yu listened to her subordinate's report with teary eyes...

Senior Brother Xinghe, it has to be you... Your ideas are so far-fetched, I, Zheng Yu, simply can't understand them...

Are you trying to ruin the entire reputation of the Southern Branch?

Well... Senior Brother Xinghe... I, Zheng Yu, have some experience with underhanded dealings... but even with all my experience, I've never seen anything like this before...

Senior Brother Xinghe, you're really going to make a big splash! People do things behind the scenes, sneaking around like they're afraid of being seen, and who knows, they might even have to kill someone to cover it up...

Senior Brother Xinghe, what's the meaning of you directly attacking me head-on?

Not only Zheng Yu, but all the Ten Great Sects and forces across the land were stunned when they heard the news...

Chu Xinghe has done a lot of outlandish things... we know that... but this time, Chu Xinghe, your outlandish ideas aren't just outlandish, they've actually crossed our faces...

Lu Chengqing went to great lengths to maintain the reputation of Vast Heaven's Good Voice...

Your move is going to blow things up... Vast Heaven's Good Voice will probably be driven crazy by all the criticism!

As it turns out, "Vast Heaven's Good Voice" has indeed been met with a barrage of criticism... Various parties are saying that "Vast Heaven's Good Voice" is insulting us, do you even realize that?"

You can decide the champion beforehand, but you can't do it in front of us!

The Vast Heaven Sect really doesn't treat us like outsiders...

Everyone thought the Vast Heaven Sect would at least offer some explanation... but guess what...

The moment the news reached the Vast Heaven Sect, even the Grand Elder was stunned... Lu Chengqing gone mad? Or had Ma Liang gone mad?

What is this? Did Xinghe order it posted? Were the specific details also requested by Xinghe?

The Grand Elder looked puzzled... Well... Xinghe, I can't figure you out either...

To the bewildered Elder, the Sect Master gave a cold smile and said, "Elder, and all the other head elders... you're all getting on in years... why haven't you yet adopted the Dao of Watching and Waiting?"

Listen to me... let's Watch Quietly as Things Change and see...

Although the elders were speechless, they ultimately chose to Watch Quietly as Things Change...

Just when everyone was waiting for the Vast Heaven Sect to post a notice and explain, Haotian Tower actually did post a notice.

As soon as the notice was posted... people flocked to it...

Want to see how the Vast Heaven Sect explains such an outrageous thing?

But when they saw the contents of the notice, everyone was stunned...

Explanation? The Vast Heaven Sect's notice didn't contain a single word of explanation...

The above directly emphasizes... everything said in the previous notice is true... this time... we're serious about going all out!

Our Vast Heaven Sect never engages in shady dealings or backroom deals... We believe in treating everyone as family and speaking our minds!

Furthermore, we not only offer direct compensation, but we also provide refunds. Those who previously advertised with Vast Heaven's Good Voice and now want a refund because of our negative reputation, please come quickly! This time, Vast Heaven Sect will not only refund, but double the amount!

The whole world was baffled by this notice...

Chu Xinghe, stationed at Haotian Tower, went on a killing spree...
