"You know?" Liu Zhiyi snorted. "Hmph, are you going to spread lies and mislead everyone again?" He barked, "Everyone, this is all Yuanshi Tianzun's doing. Let's work together and restrain him. Once we have him under control, every problem will naturally be resolved. I even suspect he has already defected to an evil organization.
"My grandfather once said that Yuanshi Tianzun had an extremely rebellious nature. After clearing Sea of Yamen, he even used an item to bargain with headquarters and make an example of them.

Without anyone noticing, Liu Zhiyi's expression shifted from righteous indignation to vicious hatred, as though Yuanshi Tianzun were the murderer of his father.
His emotions had shifted from jealousy to hatred. An invisible force was slowly, silently guiding everyone's emotions.

"Don't ruin your own future."

In the blink of an eye, Ling Jun transformed into an upright giant tiger. He turned to glare at the crowd, threw back his head, and roared.
"Awoo~"
The deep, piercing tiger's roar
