Chapter 1304 The Target of Public Criticism

Generally speaking, the path of information dissemination always follows a top-down trajectory - from prosperous places, quietly seeping into poor and remote places.

But this time is different.

When Changtianmen heard the news, the news had already spread like wildfire, almost sweeping across every inhabited corner of the Bolun world.

After being passed down by word of mouth by countless people, there was clearly no solid evidence, but because of human greed, it quietly fermented into a terrifying monster in a short period of time.

Chang Tianmen traced the route back from the town and found dozens of remote villages along the way, but was unable to continue because he lost the clues.

Of course they knew that someone was harboring evil intentions behind the scenes.

But no matter what means they used, they were unable to trace the source of the spread and find the identity of the enemy.

On the surface, this move was directed at Lin Fan.

But who is Lin Fan? Changtianmen must protect her for whatever reason.

In this way, the target of the attack naturally became Changtianmen.

The waves of public opinion are growing increasingly turbulent. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, undercurrents are already stirring.

The hidden evil waves seemed to be about to suddenly burst forth at any time and severely strike the foundation of Changtianmen.

Changtian Sect has been sitting firmly on the throne of the leader of the immortal sects for too long, so long that no one knows how many pairs of eyes have been watching in the dark, just waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, tear off a piece of flesh and blood, and drag the sect on the clouds into the quagmire, where it will never be reborn.

But if they wanted to preserve the sect's safety, they would use Lin Fan as a shield...

Not to mention that Changtianmen would never do such a self-destructive thing.

Even if they really had to sacrifice their dignity and make this bad move, the person waiting in the dark must have another vicious scheme waiting for them to fall into, which was just another way to be killed.

Not to mention that this move will cause Changtianmen to completely lose the support of the people accumulated over thousands of years.

Internally, the disciples were in a state of panic. If the master could easily abandon such a talented person, who knew when they would be kicked out?

To the outside world, the good reputation accumulated over thousands of years would probably collapse in an instant.

It seems like the loss is minimal, but it only involves the loss of one person.

But in fact, it is like a cancer buried under the foundation of Changtianmen, and the subsequent festering and harm will only continue endlessly.

Therefore, Changtianmen has only one way to protect Lin Fan, and they can only protect him to the end.

The consequences that follow are what the people behind the scenes really want to see.

I want to force you, Changtianmen, into a dilemma. Even if you don't die, I will cut a piece of flesh from your heart, severely damaging your vitality.

With Yifeng's hot temper, how could he tolerate such a vicious trick on the face?

He was so angry that he wanted to catch the sneaky guy hiding in the dark and causing trouble, so he set out immediately to investigate in person.

After Lin Fan heard Antonio's words, his mood did not fluctuate greatly.

She was more worried about the impact that Changtianmen would suffer than her own safety.

If she thought about this matter from the perspective of sect struggle, the first person she thought of was Ling Yichen, who had already left but whose previous words and actions revealed strangeness.

"Could it be the Taixu Palace?" Lin Fan asked, frowning slightly. "Ling Yichen has hesitated to speak at my door several times. In the past, he had always spared no effort to show me favor, repeatedly hinting that I should switch to the Taixu Palace. But this time, he was clearly the first to regain his mobility, but he said nothing. He even left quietly without waiting for you to come and check."

"He must have been abandoned by the sect," Antonio said, recounting in detail how Le Zheng Yuanqing had frightened the people of Taixu Palace. "But if they've already given up on that Ling, they should have given up on you too. After all, your cultivation is only at the Qi Refining stage. No one in the Bolun world can go from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment in just one year. Not even one of your number one practitioners could do it back then."

The people from Taixu Palace have never shown up since that time.

From then on, whether it was Ling Yichen or Lin Fan, he acted as if he had never known them before and acted as if he didn't care at all.

Since in their eyes, Lin Fan has "lost" his value, why would they still waste so much energy on such a useless person?

"There are some things you must not misunderstand." Le Zhengyuanqing half-closed his eyes and said to Lin Fan, "You are just one of the means to attack Changtianmen. My previous words may indeed deceive mediocre people, but they may not be able to deceive those with cunning minds."

"Even if they believe it, without being able to confirm your true condition, they will completely eliminate any hidden dangers for the sake of safety. Regardless of whether you are disabled or not, only by killing you can they be completely at ease. Otherwise, with the special spiritual roots they believe you have, who can guarantee that you won't recover as before?"

The years he mentioned at the beginning seemed a bit too long, but in the world of cultivating immortals, time flies like a white horse and is never a problem.

Le Zhengyuanqing guessed that it was his match with Lin Yuan that made some people feel threatened.

After personally confirming Ling Yichen's recovery, he no longer had any hope for Lin Fan's long recovery, and finally became desperate and could no longer hold back.

It just so happened that "Waste" took advantage of Lin Fan's opportunity to make a tentative move.

"Do you think Changtian Sect doesn't have any suspicions? We just don't have the evidence. Besides, if Taixu Palace is suspected, does that mean Youye Sect is innocent? The population of those villages in the northwest isn't as widespread as in the southeast, so aren't they still buzzing?"

"As long as Changtian Sect remains firmly on the throne of the number one immortal sect, all the sects below it will have their own motivations. However, there are only a handful of those who can stir up the situation and have the ability to take over the subsequent chess game."

Le Zhengyuanqing turned to look at Lin Fan, his tone calm but with unquestionable certainty.

"You are merely an opportunity, a ready-made excuse, a convenient time to act. To Changtianmen, who the true culprit is is not that important. What matters is how they respond to this fierce attack."

Changtian Sect responded to all changes with the same attitude, and did not show any sign of weakness in front of Lin Fan's disciples who were recovering from their injuries.

But outside, in the taverns, teahouses, markets... no matter whether they are immortals or mortals, you can hear words about Lin Fan and Changtianmen everywhere.

Noisy discussions spread like the whispers of demons.

"The Changtian Sect is clinging to Lin Fan so tightly, clearly wanting to monopolize this prodigy. I'm afraid they've long harbored ambitions of world domination!"

"Then Lin Fan must possess a rare and precious treasure. How could he allow the Changtian Sect to keep it privately? He should make it public so that all sects in the world can share this opportunity!"

"In my opinion, the reason Lin Fan is as capable as she is today is all because Master Chengkong got some benefits in the secret realm and gave them all to her! This is clearly to build momentum for her so that she can take over the position of headmaster in the future!"

Some even went so far as to spread rumors with spit flying: "Lin Fan must have used some unorthodox methods. I wonder how many inner disciples' cultivation she had wasted and then transferred to herself to make such rapid progress! Changtian Sect is still protecting her. Isn't this favoritism and abuse of power?"

"In the final analysis, Changtian Sect has been able to sit firmly in first place for so many years. I'm afraid they've long been accustomed to this insidious method of using others to support others!"

Each heartbreaking remark was like a thorn in the flesh, placing a series of inexplicable moral shackles firmly upon the Changtian Sect. Countless people clamored for them to hand over Lin Fan, forcing her to verify her so-called "innocence" before the entire world.

Rumors snowballed, intensifying, engulfing the entire Bolun world in this surging wave of public opinion. The simmering anxiety in the air seemed to have built an invisible wall, trapping Changtianmen firmly in the center.

Faced with this massive condemnation, Changtianmen remained silent.

Those stakeholders are sitting on the sidelines watching and waiting to see how this drama will end; while the people, incited by rumors, have already been enraged and are about to break through the dam of rationality.

At this critical moment, a piece of news suddenly broke out, like pouring a bucket of ice water into a boiling pot of oil.

"The apocalypse that destroyed the ancient world was a disaster caused by the cultivators themselves! Now that the various sects are besieging Changtianmen, I'm afraid they're going to repeat the same mistakes and bring disaster back!"

These words struck people's hearts like a bolt of thunder, instantly drawing everyone's attention and forcing the excited monks to stop their actions.

The shadow of the ancient catastrophe is like a cold sore attached to the bones, and it is a fear engraved in the bones and blood of all the people in the Alun world.

At this moment, they were suddenly struck by this sudden rebuke, and those who knew about it or not could not help but have many concerns, and even the anger they had in criticizing Changtianmen was mostly released.

The sky of the Alum world is finally in chaos.

Guess, does Changtianmen know Lin Fan’s identity?
