Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 649 Trust

The return of the Avengers and their tough stance against Hong Tao caused a huge sensation across the country.

Meanwhile, news that Hong Tao had sent his clansmen to deliver the mediums into the Chaotic Land, planning to bury all the volunteers and superhumans after failing to win the key, was being widely circulated and discussed online.

Prior to this, there had been some rumors circulating online. However, the posts about them were deleted immediately after they appeared.

The poster would also be given a serious warning by the relevant authorities, and given Hong Tao's special status, not many netizens dared to talk about it.

Few people believed that Hong Tao would dare to do such a thing, or would actually do it.

Furthermore, since the Chaotic Lands were successfully shut down, no one pursued the matter further.

This time, because of Lin Feng's public challenge, at least tens of thousands of people heard his questioning firsthand, and the matter could no longer be concealed.

As the post quickly went viral, it caused a great uproar online.

There are too many related posts, tens of thousands, to delete them all.

After the initial shock, netizens became increasingly angry.

Two years ago, in addition to soldiers and guardians, there were also many volunteers who entered the Chaotic Lands. They were of different ages and professions, including civilians and guardians.

In fact, everyone was prepared to sacrifice themselves before entering the chaotic land.

Even so, no one wanted to become cannon fodder.

Even if someone is willing to become a sacrifice for the country, they don't want to be deceived.

Like a fool.

Going to something actively and accepting something passively are two completely different concepts.

Some netizens believe that this was all a setup from the very beginning.

And Hong Tao might just be a pawn.

Naturally, people began to question the government.

Since Hong Tao can sacrifice volunteers, geniuses, and kings, will ordinary people like them also become victims when the aliens invade and war breaks out in the future?
The closure of space portals across the world has resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of millions and the displacement of billions of people; this may well be the beginning of the sacrifices.

In the future, it is very likely that it will be their turn.

Panic and anger are spreading rapidly.
In the dimly lit conference room, the participants displayed a variety of expressions as they watched the video feed on the screen.

"This Lin Feng is far too arrogant! He even dares to threaten Emperor Hong!"

"Even though they are exceptionally talented and have become kings, they lack respect for the emperor."

"Respect what? They just killed a transcendent not long ago."

"Young people are bound to be impulsive and arrogant, which is understandable."

“I said long ago that Hong Tao’s approach to mediums is inhumane. What’s the point of developing a few more spatial gates? What impact will it have on the situation? It’s just for his own selfish interests. Now he’s been proven wrong. Tell him not to go back to his old ways.”

"Fortunately, they were all still quite rational; otherwise, things would have been difficult to handle if they had really started fighting."

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their expressions a mixture of amazement and感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

Lin Feng's dominance surprised everyone.

He even dared to threaten Hong Tao.

Judging from the recorded video, Lin Feng and his group were not afraid at all and were ready for battle.

They had no doubt that if Hong Tao made the first move, the Avengers would have the courage to kill him on the spot.

Whether it will succeed is one thing, but Lin Feng and the others definitely have this idea and are prepared for it.

If it were in a different location, a battle might actually break out.

This is the reason that shocked and angered everyone the most.

To their surprise, the Avengers, who had seemed so obedient and compliant, appeared to have slipped out of their control. They had no way of controlling the Avengers' movements.

This alliance not only acts with impunity towards Inhumans, but also seems to do so towards them.

It seemed there was nothing they wouldn't dare to do.

Why do you think they will be obedient? Or rather, what makes them think they should be obedient?

Amidst the commotion, a voice tinged with sarcasm rang out.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Chengfeng, with his graying hair, glasses, and scholarly demeanor, chuckled softly:
"In my opinion, in terms of strength, the Avengers have killed superhumans. In terms of achievements, they closed the Chaos Lands, terrified Inhuman geniuses, and sealed off so many spatial portals that no other force can compare, not even ten Hong Taos. Why do you subconsciously think they should obey? Is it because they are young? Or because they lack status and position?"

The scene fell silent. Faced with Zhou Chengfeng's questioning, everyone looked at each other, speechless.

Because what Zhou Chengfeng said was true.

Although Lin Feng and his group had become kings and even had the record of killing extraordinary beings, they did not subconsciously regard Lin Feng and the others as equals.

A suitable location.

"Yes!"

After a moment of silence, someone chimed in, laughing, "Would an honest and obedient person dare to openly declare war on the Divine Martial Continent? Could an honest and obedient person kill so many extraordinary people that they would tremble in fear? They are lawless by nature, which is why they have grown so rapidly to where they are today."

Hong Tao was equally arrogant and domineering, even unreasonable.

There aren't many bottom lines either.

He was even better than Lin Feng.

Many people present disliked Hong Tao, but they didn't say anything because he was an emperor with a high status. Now that Lin Feng had humiliated Hong Tao, many people were gloating.

"Let's talk about the posts about Hong Tao on the internet. Because of Lin Feng's public questioning, this matter can no longer be kept secret."

An old man said in a solemn tone.

Compared to the conflict between Hong Tao and the Avengers, the public's doubts and distrust of the authorities are even more troublesome.

At this point, it was no longer just Hong Tao's business.

If this is not resolved properly, it will have very serious consequences.

Leaving aside whether the public's trust in the government will decline, how many people would be willing to become volunteers if another chaotic situation were to occur in the future?
Once such a crisis of trust arises, it is very difficult to repair.

This is indeed a very tricky matter.

Hong Tao's decision seemed to be made on his own initiative, but he had some supporters behind him. Otherwise, he alone would not have had the authority to take this step.

"Lin Feng did it on purpose."

One of the guardians said with dissatisfaction, "He wants to ruin Hong Tao's reputation so that he can no longer openly target spiritual mediums. But Lin Feng doesn't realize how negative the impact this will have on the government's image!"

Lin Feng's purpose was clear, and his plan was very successful.

Lin Feng has hundreds of millions of fans, and any news about him will make headlines.

Few in China can match his appeal and influence.

He openly questioned the emperor, saying that this news could not be kept secret.

After being informed by science, netizens now know what a spiritual medium is.

I understand why a weak girl could seal away the demon beast Shami from the Heavenly Ranking.

Netizens also expressed their sympathy for Hong Yi's tragic fate.

After pity, there was more anger.

By this time, many netizens had posted online, publicly questioning Hong Tao whether the facts were as Lin Feng had stated.
