Forum Counterattack

Chapter 30 - Forum Counterattack

"Li Bai's Demoness: The feudal superstitious remnants, the 'Qingliang Temple', should be beaten to the ground and stomped on again!" declared the great Demon King from the Kunlun Demon Realm in another world.

Moon Shadow Dance Scar: Awooo, the demoness is out! Quick, grab a stool and watch!

"Liberators: Demoness vs. Qingliang Temple! Fellow Daoists, come quickly to spectate!"

"Jialuo: Cigarettes, beer, instant noodles, melon seeds, peanuts, mineral water, drinks, poker, and eight-treasure porridge, anyone want some?"

"Li Bai's Demoness" had already gained some fame on the "17th Floor" forum, becoming a well-known warrior. As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of many curious netizens.

Isn't surfing the internet just for fun? This time, the fun was huge.

Perhaps the newly registered small accounts hadn't experienced the power of "Li Bai's Demoness." Without a word, they directly attacked. Over a dozen small accounts unleashed their full firepower, much to the delight of the onlookers.

Another thread bombing, another thread bombing! So happy!

The main moderator of the "17th Floor" forum's face was likely as dark as the bottom of a pot: Damn demoness is here again!

"Dragon Wolf A'ya Zi: Oh my! Could this demoness be Dr. Li Bai? Her combat power is off the charts, her posting and replying speed is simply divine!"

"Ken De Who Doesn't Like Flirting: A man using a female ID? Isn't that perverted? Why hasn't this psychiatrist cured himself?"

"Driver Returns: Dr. Li Bai is clearly a man, why would he use a name with 'demoness'? It must be his girlfriend."

"Star Luo: Dao is one foot high, demons are ten feet high. Fifteen against one, and she's not losing ground. Truly a demoness!"

"Er Gouzi: It might not be Li Bai. Battling for three days and three nights without logging off clearly means they're a shut-in. Doctors have to go to work, how can they have so much time to argue online?"

The onlookers weren't afraid of trouble, and soon there was new development.

"Li Bai's Demoness: What merit, what great freedom, all nonsense! Scum who haven't even reached the Spirit Drawing Realm dare to swindle people?"

Then came the point-by-point refutations and exposures, along with a set of unbelievable statements that were shocking enough to make people's hair stand on end. Obscure cultivation terms like "cultivation of the Way of Arts," "drawing spirit into the body," and "gathering spirit to form law" left people utterly confused and unable to grasp the essence.

The "17th Floor" forum was in an uproar. Is this person a cultivator too? Why do they sound so knowledgeable?

Moon Shadow Dance Scar: What Spirit Drawing Realm? Are you reading novels?

"Golden Crispy Chicken: Hilarious! Taoist arts meeting a novel reader, haha, let me laugh for a while first."

A crowd of alternate accounts and small IDs were collectively stunned. What the heck is the Spirit Drawing Realm?

They had only heard of cultivation realms like Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Transformation Stage, Body Integration Stage, Tribulation Crossing Stage, and Mahayana Stage. They had never heard of any Spirit Drawing Realm. Of course, these terms were also from novels. Believing them would mean there were too many fools and not enough scammers.

A small account "Hermit Mountain Dweller," registered less than 12 hours ago, replied: "Who exactly are you, you demon?"

Less than ten seconds after replying, the demoness responded.

"Li Bai's Demoness: This servant is the Green Flood Dragon King of the Kunlun Demon Realm!"

The Green Flood Dragon King of the Kunlun Demon Realm?

The netizens were even more bewildered. The rhythm was wrong!

Why couldn't they understand either side? Clearly, they weren't on the same wavelength.

The small accounts causing trouble on the "17th Floor" forum were also a bit dumbfounded. You say your piece, I say mine. This chaotic intrusion had turned them into chickens and ducks trying to talk to each other.

"Hermit Mountain Dweller" proactively posted again: "All this evil way nonsense. If you have the guts, argue with me face-to-face!"

This wasn't the first time they had challenged "Li Bai's Demoness." However, the previous few times, this shameless Green Flood Dragon had stood them up and then proceeded to spray them with insults.

"Li Bai's Demoness" was as straightforward and domineering as ever: "Who's afraid of who? Bring it on!"

"[Haruhi Suzumiya's Leader]: Support the demoness! Down with Qingliang Temple!"

"Commander Xu of the Northern Military Command: My stool and tea are ready. I'll sit and watch the great battle of magic."

The demoness causing trouble on the "17th Floor" forum had finally gained two or three little fans who cheered along with her. They were clearly individuals who weren't afraid of making trouble.

Just moments later, a newly registered ID appeared: "Li Bai's True Self," responding: "Time? Location? Name your terms!"

Li Bai didn't rush to cultivate. He held his phone, charging it while logging into the "17th Floor" forum to supervise the demoness's verbal battle with those Qingliang Temple small accounts.

His concise and powerful response, like a divine insertion, immediately set the entire "17th Floor" forum ablaze.

Many people had already been guessing that "Li Bai's Demoness" might be Li Bai himself, the psychiatrist from the Seventh People's Hospital's psychiatry department, or someone closely related to him. However, they never expected that "Li Bai's True Self" would suddenly appear at this moment.

"Li Bai's Demoness: This servant supports Young Master in beating them up!"

In less than two seconds, "Li Bai's Demoness" quickly popped up, swift and decisive.

This time, there were even more people egging them on, and many had created alternate accounts.

Everyone finally understood. "Li Bai's True Self" might truly be the person himself, while "Li Bai's Demoness" was indeed someone else, as many had speculated before.

The numerous suspicious small accounts that had been jumping around and engaging in a war of attrition with "Li Bai's Demoness" suddenly fell silent, disappearing without a trace.

Li Bai scrolled through his phone screen, a cold smile on his face.

He now fully understood Qingliang Temple's intentions.

These charlatans were not just dogs that bite without barking; they were secretly fanning the flames, using this opportunity to build momentum and gain fame for Qingliang Temple.

The simplest and most effective method was to find a sufficiently weighty opponent, someone whose background was neither too complicated nor too obscure, a soft persimmon to crush, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and establishing authority.

The Yao Family's recent troubles had tarnished Li Bai's reputation, and now, after he had driven away Daoist He and his two disciples from the Yuantian Hotel chairman Cao Lei's villa, Qingliang Temple felt they couldn't let this slight slide. Turning away business was as bad as stealing someone's livelihood, so they decided to make him their target.

The anonymous accounts that had been fanning the flames hadn't expected this psychiatrist to actually accept the challenge.

Was this some kind of joke?

If a psychiatrist knew immortal Daoist arts, wouldn't treating patients be like performing rituals, chanting incantations, and sprinkling blessed water, followed by a "Taishang Laojun, hurry as the law commands!"?

The image alone was quite something.

If that were the case, how would people in the Daoist sects make a living?

After a long pause, an old ID finally replied.

"Old Man of Southern Mountain: March 18th, Dragon Head Raising Day, Qingliang Temple. I will spar with fellow Daoist Li."

Immediately, someone recognized the true identity of "Old Man of Southern Mountain."

"Pure Cow's Milk: Holy crap, it's Daoist Priest Li Jin Dan, Qingliang Temple's second senior disciple!"

"Cat Who Doesn't Eat Much Fish: Looking forward to the Daoist magic battle! Anyone else going?"

"Tusky: Going, going!"

"Group Admin Activated: Sign me up +10086!"

Who would have thought that a heated online argument would spill over into reality? Clearly, many people were excited and joined in the commotion.

The ones who stirred up the most trouble weren't the Demoness or the rowdy netizens, but the media.

The owner of the "17th Floor" forum was the Huxi Daily, the newspaper with the largest circulation in Huxi City. Many netizens reported news to them daily, making it an important source of information.

The editors, who hunted for news like hounds, immediately sprang into action.

When Li Bai's phone showed an incoming call from an unknown number, he hung up without hesitation and enabled his whitelist filter. All incoming calls except those from saved contacts were automatically blocked.

Qingliang Temple was a bit slow to react. Just half an hour later, the phone numbers of the three Daoist priests fell into the hands of the ubiquitous reporters. A barrage of calls left them frazzled, and even the young Daoist disciples weren't spared. They wouldn't be getting a good night's sleep.

On the other hand, Li Bai, who had the foresight, replied to "Old Man of Southern Mountain" on the "17th Floor" forum with the ID "Li Bai's True Self," saying, "See you there," and then turned off his phone to cultivate, unconcerned about the chaos that would follow.

For three hundred yuan in pocket money and a Moonstone containing Moonlight Essence, the Demoness's rage was once again ignited. She grabbed a small account and began a satisfying slaughter feast.

As a lawless monster, this was the only way to live.
