"...The Taiyi Kingdom has suffered at the hands of the cultivation world for far too long.
Cultivators occupy our magnificent mountains and rivers, cultivating themselves alone without a thought for serving their country. Instead, they recklessly plunder resources to sustain themselves;
Are they immortals, or rats?
Demonic cultivators sometimes go mad, treating human lives as worthless weeds and forcing the nation to expend vast amounts of manpower and resources to deal with them;
Are they demons, or bandits?
Now Lin Bai of the Righteousness Sect has stepped forward, joining forces with the Heaven-Sent Ones to slay the demonic cultivators and restore peace to the people and stability to the nation. I, Guo, wholeheartedly approve..."
"Wretch! Wretch! You've ruined my grand plans!" Guo Yuan slammed Justice Weekly onto his desk, his lips trembling with rage. He had governed Qian City for years and had always maintained an even temper. But since Lin Bai and the Heaven-Sent Ones arrived, he had lost count of how many times his composure had shattered. These people always managed to stab him from some completely unexpected direction.
"Please calm yourself, City Lord."
The Scholar sighed, at a loss as to how to console him.
A single interview with the City Lord had portrayed him as a passionate, righteous man unafraid of cultivators. It also meant that Qian City had been pushed into opposition to the Five Evil Sects.
If things went badly, it could even spark a conflict between the Taiyi Kingdom and the Five Demon Sects.
Most infuriating of all, the Beggar Gang's Heaven-Sent Ones had never interviewed the City Lord at all. They had simply dumped this basin of filthy water over his head...
These people really were too much!
They truly had no qualms about making trouble as big as possible...
The Scholar
