My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 210 Deceit and Fame, God's Position Clear in War

The scene where Li Wei verbally abused someone to the point of shattering their Dao heart under the spotlight was truly shocking!
However, no one has time to care about other people's Daoist aspirations now!
The amount of information in what Li Wei just said was truly explosive.

The upper echelons of Sirius City have been taken over by the Demon Heaven Cult. Sirius's Thunder Department and Immortal Abode systems have also been invaded by demons, while New Sea City has already completed its war mobilization preparations?
So many major events have happened, yet there wasn't a single word of it beforehand?

So everyone went crazy asking for details.

"Has the Demon Lord of the Demon Heaven Sect already taken control of Sirius City?"

Where is Special Envoy Huang Xiang now?

"Is the recent surge in pharmaceutical stocks related to Tianlang City?"

Li Wei suddenly raised his hand.

The noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

This is the majesty of power!

With forty-six mayors standing behind him, even if Li Wei were just an ordinary person, no one would dare to disregard his will.

"Everyone, I will now give a formal briefing on the situation in Sirius City."

"At 1 a.m. on August 15, I received a phone call and learned about the appearance of a demon in Sirius City. In order to find out the truth, I went to Sirius City alone to investigate."

"In battle, Chen Lin, the Thunder Department Inspector of Tianlang City, was surrounded by demons. He fought desperately to defeat the enemy and captured Chen Lin."

"Later, I reported this matter to Special Envoy Huang Xiang. The Special Envoy has ordered a special investigation into Tianlang City. I will be leading the team to investigate the major case of the demon invasion in Tianlang City!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Inspector Li! The Demon Heaven Sect's inner demons are best at parasitizing people's hearts. Once they have successfully possessed someone, they cannot be detected by ordinary means. Isn't sending people into Tianlang City to investigate the case like lambs to the slaughter?"

Some Victoria's Secret fans are so worried they're almost crying: "Li Wei! You absolutely can't go!"

The mayors of the Immortal Palace exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.

Investigate a case?

Only a madman would investigate a case like that!
Li Wei had said long ago that no matter what, the Immortal Mansion could not openly abandon the million cultivators in Tianlang City, otherwise it would look too bad.

Therefore, they must show an attitude of "saving lives" and take action to save lives, regardless of how many they can save next.

Anyway, all they need to do is make a show of it, send a few subordinates in to their deaths, they won't personally go into battle.

As a result,
Simply by waving flags and shouting slogans, they can silence all the gossip in the world, and no one can say that these leaders of the immortal palace are inactive.

This is also the fundamental reason why they were willing to cooperate with Li Wei in this play!
The so-called investigation and rescue was just an excuse. Their real purpose was to force the Demon Heaven Sect to self-destruct, and ideally, to turn the entire Tianlang City into a demonic realm. That way, when everyone went in to massacre the city, there would be no obstacles.

In this way, one can gain the reputation of saving lives, and also have a pretext for killing, which perfectly matches His Majesty's instruction to "investigate without taking action, and lure the snake out of its hole!"

"Inspector Li! We simply cannot understand why you would choose to investigate a case at this time. Don't you know how dangerous inner demons are?"

"Does the danger justify doing nothing?!"

Li Wei roared, then sneered, "I'm not afraid to tell you all! Someone has already suggested a plan to massacre the city. All I need to do is kill all the people of Tianlang City, and the calamity of my inner demons will be resolved!"

"I can understand why they are so scared!"

"Because ever since the birth of the Great Sage of Demon Heaven, Mara, he transformed the inner demon into a loophole in the Heavenly Dao, the inner demon has become almost unsolvable!"

except me!
"So to be honest, I'm scared too!"

"But should I abandon all one million cultivators in Sirius City just because I'm afraid?!"

Li Wei slammed his fist on the table and roared like a lion:
"This is Zhongzhou, the human realm, a place under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court!"

"All the cultivators in the cities are subjects of the Heavenly Court, subjects of His Majesty Shanghao, and subjects of my Immortal Abode. Even if we die, we will never abandon the cultivators under our command and send them to the demon as food!!"

Although the mayors behind him knew perfectly well that Li Wei was putting on a show, they were still stirred by his impassioned words:

"That's right! Zhongzhou belongs to our human race. When did it become the domain of a bunch of demons?"

"Our Immortal Abode will never abandon any cultivator!"

Logically, the statements made by the mayors should have convinced everyone.

But this is a fairy ball.

The Heavenly Court and Immortal Abode have a terrible reputation!
So these high-ranking cultivators and families with divine bloodlines risked their lives to save people?

Do not make jokes!
Then something outrageous happened.

The mayors, who were supposed to represent authority, had the opposite effect after making their statements.

Many of the monks who participated in the demonstration looked suspicious.

"Inspector Li! How many people are you planning to send into Tianlang City this time to investigate the case and rescue people? Are you going to send in just some interns or low-ranking officials again?"

With this remark,
The reporters couldn't help but give the marching crowd a thumbs up, because they asked the questions that the reporters dared not ask. These questions were too pointed, and could easily expose the shady dealings of the Immortal Abode.

While the reporters dared not ask, they still had the audacity to broadcast it!
So the reporters not only broadcast the questioner's question live, but also pointed the camera at Li Wei, giving him a super close-up, showing every micro-expression on his face.

Dear viewers, this is all the help we can offer.

Whether Tianfu is truly saving lives or just putting on a show, you can judge for yourselves.

At this moment, across the entire Celestial Sphere, across the Three Realms and Five Continents, the number of people watching this press conference has exceeded ten billion.

After witnessing this scene, some questioned it, some were disdainful, and some sneered. In any case, the vast majority of people actually thought it was a show.

Over time, the immortal abode has long become synonymous with decay.

People simply couldn't believe that a group of high-ranking people would risk their lives to save a group of lower-ranking cultivators.

But, in the end, there's still a sliver of hope!
Is there still light in this world?
The wishes of all living beings.

Li Wei felt it! Under the live broadcast of countless cameras and the gaze of countless people, Li Wei's "deceitful and fraudulent" entry became active in an unprecedented way, silently condensing a massive amount of wish power crystals for him.

[Current probability of achieving immortality bonus: 0.1% - 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%]

The original bonus to immortality from the fraudulent and deceptive entry was only 0.1%, but now it has started to rise wildly, increasing to 3.4 in a short period of time!

A Golden Core cultivator, by deceiving the world and stealing fame, directly possessed a 3.4% chance of becoming an immortal?
This is the real purpose behind Li Wei's press conference!
He attracted countless viewers to Tianlang City, and then used his acting skills to deceive the world and lay the foundation for becoming an immortal!
If he loses this opportunity, will he ever find such a great stage to showcase his talent again?

Now... only one last step remains!

Li Wei silently closed his eyes and placed his hand on his chest.

To outsiders, it seemed like he was touching his own conscience, but in reality, Li Wei was touching the two trump cards within him: the ancestral divine edict and the snow lotus sealed by the God of Deification.

After drawing the bottom card,

Li Wei was bolder, more confident, and more determined!
Then he suddenly opened his eyes!
The reporters, the audience, and the onlookers, looking into his eyes filled with youthful spirit, seeing the arrogance and madness burning within them, suddenly realized something.

"Inspector Li, could it be that you..."

"That's right!"

Li Wei raised his arm and shouted, suddenly raising Huang Xiang's jade talisman as a special envoy of the Heavenly Emperor. Then, addressing the countless beings, he said, "Since everyone questions my determination to save people, then I will tell you right here and now!"

"I have been appointed by Special Envoy Huang Xiang as the head of the investigation team for the major case of inner demons in Tianlang City. Therefore, this time I will represent Special Envoy Huang Xiang and His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor to personally enter Tianlang City to eliminate the demons and rescue the Tianlang cultivators!"

Upon hearing this, not only the surrounding audience, cultivators, and reporters, but even the mayors of various cities standing beside Li Wei couldn't help but gasp, shocked by Li Wei's resolute will.

Seriously, bro!

Everyone's just acting, but you're taking it for real?!

Unlike visible enemies, inner demons are formless and intangible, extremely adept at lurking, and immune to all physical and magical damage. Most importantly, they can invade a cultivator's mind at any time through any vulnerability, making them the natural enemy of all intelligent life.

So even with the guarantee from Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, you might not be able to escape unscathed!
As a result, many people became anxious. After all, if Li Wei, the acting special envoy, died, who would organize the war against Sirius City?

Everyone wanted to persuade Li Wei, but since they were still live-streaming, they had no choice but to keep quiet.

Meanwhile, the surrounding cultivators, reporters, and those watching the press conference were completely stunned!
Li Wei holds the Jade Talisman of the Heavenly Emperor, which represents the Heavenly Emperor's presence on Earth. His status is arguably higher than that of the heads of ordinary divine families, and he holds a higher position and greater power than the mayors of various cities.

The key point is that he has just graduated from the Celestial Examination and is not even twenty years old.

As long as such a person doesn't die, he is destined for a bright future and will surely become a rising star in the Heavenly Court.

But now he's actually willing to go to Tianlang City in person to investigate the demon and save the cultivators. What kind of conviction is that?

And so at this moment,
People have no doubt about his sincerity.

Those who had previously questioned Li Wei were now weeping bitterly, kneeling on the ground in remorse.
"Waaah! Inspector Li, I'm so sorry, so sorry! We actually doubted your courage before, and we even suspected that you had been corrupted by the Heavenly Court and had forgotten your humble origins!"

"But now it seems that you are the only savior for us ordinary cultivators!"

"Waaaaah! I actually cursed at you just now, I'm not even human!"

Li Wei successfully gained the recognition of countless cultivators through his actions and personal charisma.

The result is that the probability of becoming an immortal, which had already increased to 3.4%, has skyrocketed again—[Current probability of becoming an immortal: 9.82%!!]

This is the terrifying effect of deceptive and misleading entries!

This is the result of Li Wei's deception and fraud!

Many Nascent Soul cultivators struggle to master a single law and may not even gain a 10% bonus to immortality, but Li Wei, relying on his reputation, directly possessed 9.82%.

This is absolutely outrageous!
He wouldn't have this title if it weren't for his Heavenly Dao 1.0 system.

If it weren't for the fact that Sirius City was invaded by demons, the blessing of the Jade Talisman of the Heavenly Emperor's Special Envoy, and the impact of the war and the recovery of the stock market...
If it weren't for these coincidences, he would never have been able to create such a miracle.

But all of this comes at a price.

In order to maintain this aspiration.

He would then have to enter Sirius City, risking his life under the nose of the Demon Heaven Sect and even the Demon Heaven Great Sage Bo Xun. One wrong move and he could face utter destruction.

To achieve extraordinary results, one must inevitably make huge sacrifices and pay a heavy price. That's fair, isn't it?

That's why he made so many preparations!

Li Wei waved his hand and said in front of the reporters, "Now, I hereby issue this order in the seal of the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy: all cities and districts, obey my command!"

"We obey your command!!"

"You are hereby ordered to mobilize the resources of all the immortal abodes in the cities and forcibly conscript all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage to surround Tianlang City! During this period, any cultivator who dares to charge into the enemy lines will be killed without exception!"

"Yes!"

"At the same time, I am issuing a mandatory acquisition order to the following 21 corporate groups. The items to be acquired include, but are not limited to, items that target inner demons, such as demon-blocking potions, heart-piercing needles, heart-fire pills, and demon-repelling shields. The transfer must be completed within one day. Those who fail to do so will have their business licenses revoked!"

"Yes!"

"Ministers of mines in all cities, listen to my command!"

"The Thunder Department is here!"

"I hereby order all Thunder Officials of the Foundation Establishment stage and above to gather at Xinhai and await my command!"

With a cruel expression, Li Wei sneered, "Among the people and companies recruited this time, anyone who dares to shrink back or desert in the face of battle will be treated as a traitor, branded as a heretic, and condemned by the whole world!"

"Gentlemen... our war against the demon has begun!!"

The methods of killing gods, stock assets, and deception have been set up for a while, so in the next chapter, the killing begins!
