Chapter 648 633: Fanning the Flames and Speaking Out_2

You all aren't afraid because, no matter how much nonsense you speak, the Immortal Martial Taoist won't care.

After all, how would a giant standing tall and upright care about the dust at his feet?

But they are afraid.

Compared to ordinary people, they are much "taller." If they really start speaking nonsense, their words would sound like barking dogs to a giant. If the giant gets annoyed, he might stomp them to death with a single step.

The longer one cultivates, the deeper their cultivation level, the more they understand the weight of the Immortal Martial Taoist.

Regardless of the facts or societal rules, the mere massive disparity in strength prevents them from speaking carelessly.

The cause and effect of such matters are too heavy. It's only some insignificant sensational gossip. How could they bear it?

The silence of the immortals was deafening, and all the audience present fell silent.

At this moment, they realized that perhaps they really overestimated themselves and underestimated the Immortal Martial Taoist.

The Immortal Martial Taoist they casually gossiped about, in the hearts of the immortals, is so high that they dare not even speak.

A long time passed before a faint voice came through: "What kind of status is the Immortal Martial Taoist, how dare we criticize."

The words were slightly pointed, exciting the ordinary people, while the cultivators were astonished.

Who is this reckless fool daring to provoke the Immortal Martial Taoist?

For ordinary people, such matters are entertaining gossip, whereas for cultivators, this kind of sensationalism is not worth mentioning.

To make a big fuss like this, there must be some agenda.

Someone reprimanded aloud: "Since you know you shouldn't criticize, then shut up."

"Ha, someone is really trying to cover for the Immortal Martial Taoist, flattery so excessive that the main subject might not even know it."

That faint voice opened again.

"Stop hiding, show yourself to me!"

A grand figure appeared, and when his face was clearly seen, everyone was shocked.

"This is Saint Ali of Tianfang City, a renowned True Immortal who has been famous for sixty years and is the descendant of the Immortal."

Upon seeing his figure, not only the ordinary people were surprised, but even the immortals among the crowd widened their eyes.

Who could have thought that this young talent from Tianfang City would stand up for the Immortal Martial Taoist?

Saint Ali swung his sword, striking at a corner of the crowd, forcing a shadow out instantly.

"Come, repeat what you just said, and I will consider you a man." Saint Ali said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the shadow remained silent.

He never expected such a big figure to stand up for the Immortal Martial Taoist.

Saint Ali didn't extinguish the black mist shrouding the shadow with his sword, merely exclaimed and then struck again.

After dozens of hits, causing the virtual space to tremble multiple times, he still couldn't force out the opponent's true form.

Saint Ali frowned and said: "Who exactly are you, Star Lord? Why are you slandering the Immortal Martial Taoist?"

"So what, the Immortal Martial Taoist can do it, but we can't talk about it?" the person sneered.

Saint Ali replied coldly: "Then tell me, what exactly has the Immortal Martial Taoist done? Did he betray the Human Race, trample on the law, or indulge in corruption?"

Upon hearing this, the person in the black mist was speechless, unsure of what to say.

In the Cultivation Realm, a person's evaluation is multifaceted, including cultivation level, potential, contribution, and character.

Character must live up to heaven, civilization, race, sect, and family.

As for having several romantic companions, such fringe issues of private morality are often just amusing anecdotes.

Anyone with a bit of perspective doesn't measure a person by such matters.

Seeing the other party not answering, Saint Ali reprimanded: "Indeed, you're not presentable."

Then he said loudly: "To Earth Civilization, the Immortal Martial Taoist has made an indelible contribution. Discussing minor sensational gossip is fine, but please do it with due respect!"

The coldness on his face slightly faded, and he continued: "Earth Civilization's cultivators rose from the flames, determined and with their own code of conduct."

"If faced with injustice, they remain silent out of fear of someone's power, then Earth Civilization wouldn't be where it is today."

"The cultivators present remain silent on matters concerning the Immortal Martial Taoist, choosing not to speak, not merely out of awe for the Taoist's cultivation background, but more importantly, out of respect for his virtue and contribution."

The cultivators present, those who have reached this point, each has their own understanding, don't they?

The Immortal Martial Taoist's morality, contributions, cultivation level, and background, they regard with reverence, falling short in every aspect, so what right do they have to criticize the Taoist?

Especially when it's such baseless sensational gossip?

Anyone with a bit of awareness, no Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, or True Immortal present would dare to speak.

At this moment, a tall figure emerged in the void, adorned with brilliant effects from the Divine Land's virtual network, making him appear as if a celestial god descending.

Only a voice was heard saying: "I am Li Xingde, a Federation Government councilor, entrusted by Super Intelligent Gaia to come and investigate and clarify the facts."

Li Xingde?

Anyone with a bit of insight, upon hearing this name, couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

Because this is one of the Federation's top ten councilors, a grand figure on the official stage of Divine Land.

Not to mention the power he holds, merely his Void Realm cultivation level is revered by countless cultivators.

Moreover, he hails from the Li Family of Celestial, a family with the newly promoted Immortal—Cyan Emperor.

For the matter concerning the Immortal Martial Taoist, the Federation Government actually sent such a grand figure to handle it!

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Li Xingde turned his attention to the shadow and the gossiping fellow being publicly punished.

He spoke loudly: "According to the investigation, the responsible person for this live broadcast, Liu, violated protocol for profit by initiating the broadcast, misguiding the audience, and allowing Tianyi36548321564 to spread rumors, damaging the reputation of the Immortal Martial Taoist Wang Xuan."

With this statement, the broadcast planner and gossiping fellow turned pale, trembling with fear, realizing disaster had struck.

They knew that once a grand figure like Li Xingde had spoken, there was no turning back.

They were finished.

Li Xingde continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, regarding heroes like the Immortal Martial Taoist, who have risked their lives for Earth Civilization and made unimaginable contributions as sacred beings, as the public, we hope you maintain due reverence."

Saint Ali stepped forward, his gaze sweeping in all directions, and spoke loudly: "I know some people are unconvinced, but I can tell you, today's matter is indeed a rumor."

"Why?" someone asked, still skeptical of the official cover-up and curiously about the interviewee Bai Yuzhen and Su Qiubai being Wang Xuan's romantic companions.

Saint Ali replied indifferently: "Because you underestimate the Immortal Martial Taoist, given his status and position, his romantic companions would undoubtedly be extraordinary individuals, even if they weren't before, they would certainly be later!"

With the Immortal Martial Taoist's abilities, any woman with a romantic connection to him could become a legend with just a slight intervention.

Even if he doesn't intervene, with the world's origin favoring him, his romantic companions would be blessed with overwhelming fortune, achieving the extraordinary.

Li Xingde coughed slightly, then spoke: "There is a news announcement coming, the Immortal Martial Taoist led a team and, within three months, completely conquered the Canglan Realm, bringing another Star Domain under Earth Civilization."

"This cross-realm battle was conquered with the fastest record and minimal casualties."

"Reportedly, during this campaign, the Immortal Martial Taoist captured billions of intelligent creatures and personally slew numerous Void Creatures."

With that, Li Xingde gracefully departed.

He knew very well that his words, the feat of the Immortal Martial Taoist, would bring unprecedented shock to the world.

Such trivial gossip would not attract anyone's attention.
