"Zhang Xuezhou, you haven't taken me out these past few days, that's really unfair of you!"

You don't look well and need to rest more!

"I'm in good spirits, so don't do anything behind my back. This is no laughing matter!"

"What are you doing going over there? Look at Committee Member Zhu's face, even he can't handle it, do you want to join in the fun?!"

Zhu Liangping was an important member of the committee investigating Luo'an Province, but Zhu Liangping was the first to return to Western Capital City and did not participate in the subsequent visits to various Lineage in Luo'an Province over the next few weeks.

At this time, Zhang Xuezhou and others were on the same Airbus as Zhu Liangping, hitching a ride on a flight reserved for committee members on their return journey.

"You just look down on me," Zuo Teng said sullenly.

"Committee Member Zhu's experience is exactly the same as yours. If you have the guts, you can go and have a chat with Committee Member Zhu!"

Zhang Xuezhou ultimately passed the buck to Zuo Teng, this troublesome person.

Zhu Liangping, who was sitting in first class, turned around.

"Has Xiao Zuo also seen that bead?" Zhu Liangping asked.

"Yes," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"Come here, Xiao Zuo, let's have a chat!"

Zhu Liangping beckoned, Zuo Teng immediately stood up and happily went over.

Zhang Xuezhou's world is finally at peace.

"Son?"

When Zhang Xuezhou saw Song Fengying, who was sitting in first class, sending a message, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"I don't want to be on camera or do live broadcasts lately!"

Don't you want to be famous and become a top streamer?

"In no mood!"

"You should become famous as early as possible. With fame, you can do many things. Don't underestimate live streaming. Once you're famous, what you say becomes law and order. Even if others don't believe you, the official channels will!"

"If it really comes to the point where it's considered an inviolable rule, our company won't be far from closing down!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Song Fengying exchanged a few words via communicator.

He also offered a brief reminder.

Dominating public opinion is a double-edged sword; without sufficient power to control it, it will ultimately backfire.

For example, Song Fengying's reading of the Sequence Committee's information during the live broadcast was an overstepping of her authority. If it weren't for their strong connections within the committee, Flying Entertainment Livestream might have already been forcibly acquired at a low price through government orders.

Even so, as long as Song Fengying continues to participate in related events and expands her influence, this live streaming platform will gradually be nationalized, and even Zhang Xuezhou and others cannot stop it.

"How could we possibly close down? We haven't done anything illegal. You need a legitimate reason to cause trouble, right?"

"They can't escape the charge of inducing tipping, let alone guiding and distorting the values of teenagers. If they want to mess with us, they can find plenty of legitimate reasons!"

"Is it possible to switch careers for stability?"

"We can't switch. Only when we truly join the Sequence Committee and possess our own core can we settle down!"

Zhang Xuezhou tapped the communicator screen. He had intended to send other instructions, but then erased them.

No matter what Zhang Xuezhou says or does, he can hardly keep up with the changes in the Scarlet Alliance State.

Whether the situation in Western Capital City can stabilize, and whether Wang Haoran and others who have been pushed to the forefront can withstand Huang Daoxian's attack, are all unknowns Zhang Xuezhou thought.

The opponent was the first Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Zhang Xuezhou and his group had truly faced, and the conflict between the two was almost irreconcilable.

Huang Daoxian is not Presenel of the Thousand Islands Alliance. The other party can hide for a hundred years and is difficult to track down. It is not possible to trace him successfully just because Zhang Xuezhou intervened in a short period of time.

However, as long as there are any major changes in the Western Capital City Committee, everything for Zhang Xuezhou and others will be uncertain, and no matter what they say or do, it will be useless.

"This committee is recruiting people. What are their recruitment rules? Can Mom get in?" Song Fengying asked.

"Recruiting people for the committee is a difficult matter," Zhang Xuezhou replied briefly. "According to the hierarchy, the Fifth Sequence requires meeting many requirements and cannot be entered without special circumstances. The Sixth Sequence requires the endorsement and recommendation of a committee member, while the Seventh Sequence can be entered without a recommendation. These things are a bit far removed from our lives!"

"Why does high society like to use sequence standards? Aren't they deliberately bullying those of us who only recently learned about gene technology?"

"This is the ironclad rule of the Alliance States; we have no choice but to abide by it!"

"I'll work harder for another three to five years!"

Song Fengying replied with one sentence, and then did not ask Zhang Xuezhou any further questions.

The hierarchy is the rule by which the Scarlet Alliance State operates. Whether it's a scion of the Aristocratic Clan like Zuo Teng or someone with connections like Zhang Xuezhou, without a sufficiently high hierarchy, they can only skirt around the edges and cannot enter the core of the committee, even if the committee has allies.

Wang Haoran and others can currently use the relevant rules to allocate resources, but these rules can also be exploited by others.

Especially with the expansion of the Sequence Committee, it will become increasingly difficult to manipulate the system, and it would not be surprising if situations of targeting or compromise arose.

Only by truly becoming part of the Sequence Committee can they form a genuine alliance of interests and avoid a situation where the big fish eat the small fish.

Huang Daoxian's existence further increased the instability of the Sequence Committee, and Zhang Xuezhou's allies were also uncontrollable.

For example, Zhu Liangping was in a state of confusion at the moment and could only leave Luo'an Province in a panic to return to Western Capital City to seek a solution. If he could not resolve the issue of Huang Daoxian, the probability of Zhu Liangping suffering disaster was very high, and it might even affect Li Yingbo, Wang Haoran, and others.

Just like Zhu Liangping, Zhang Xuezhou was also facing a major headache.

"My cultivation has stalled. Sequence advancement requires resource accumulation, and even if I reach the Third Sequence, I'll still need the R33 catalyst. For now, I can only go to Dongshan to check the situation and try to improve my luck after my cultivation!"

On the one hand, Zhang Xuezhou pinned his hopes on the Immortal Court, wanting to see how the Immortal Court handled cases like Huang Daoxian's Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, and then follow suit.

On the other hand, he was trying to use divination techniques to see if he could have a stroke of good luck.

The Immortal Court is quite far away, and magic spells aren't very reliable.

Zhang Xuezhou's heart was also in turmoil, feeling that it would be very difficult to achieve the best of both worlds.

Of course, the journey still needs to be taken, and Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have any particular plans at the moment.

Like Zhu Liangping and the others, he was also quite confused at the moment. He didn't know anything about Huang Daoxian, nor did he know who the other party was. He could only rely on several clues to slowly investigate.

Whether they find Huang Daoxian first, or Huang Daoxian launches the first attack, is something no one can predict.

In terms of individual strength, if Huang Daoxian launched a surprise attack first, the committee members of Western Capital City would most likely be powerless to retaliate, and even Ren Yisheng would find it difficult to fight back.

Conversely, if they find clues to ambush Huang Daoxian, Huang Daoxian may also find it difficult to withstand the attack.

The group's current advantage is that Huang Daoxian is likely trapped in the area surrounding Luo'an Province, making it difficult for him to directly reach Western Capital City, which provides them with considerable buffer time.

"Committee members Li and Zhu should be the first to be concerned. One is the head of the Sequence Committee, and the other has been remembered by Huang Daoxian. They should be more anxious. It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. I can't be the one..."

"Xiao Zuo, I either need to change my appearance or go to Qin Meng to escape this disaster. Do you have any other suggestions?"

"The Eighth Sequence Eighth Sequence, I think. Their strength is more reliable; they should be able to protect us!"

Zhang Xuezhou kept thinking about it, while Zhu Liangping and Zuo Teng discussed it in a dull way, feeling that the solutions were either to hide, to evade, or to reach a higher, unattainable level.

Having personally experienced Huang Daoxian's bizarre abilities, both of them are still in poor mental condition and have lost all belief in winning.
