The Canglan human race and the Blue Star human race had always had a good relationship, and the two races had cooperated many times. However, after the Canglan human race took advantage of the situation last time, it had provoked widespread anger.
The public held a grudge and were very displeased.
Some even formed a delegation and requested to fight in front of the cabinet. Later, this protest was suppressed.
Many people secretly cursed the cabinet as a soft persimmon without backbone.
As harshly as they had scolded back then, they were now excited.
On the internet, after a recent cleanup campaign, some online trolls had become quite civil. The internet, without random agitation, was very harmonious.
They had expected the cleanup to bring a period of calm to the internet, but this piece of news directly exploded it.
Major forums and platforms vied to report and discuss it, creating a lively scene.
"Haha, the Elder has courage! I was shortsighted before, I apologize!"
"They deserve to be dealt with for bullying our Blue Star human race."
"Elder, you are my idol from now on."
"Although the Elder is sometimes quite foolish, this matter was done perfectly, it's so satisfying."
"But without the Canglan human race, we'll have to face the undead realm alone."
"The cart will find its way when it reaches the mountain. Why worry so much?"
Some were excited and proud, while others expressed concern.
A certain influential online personality quickly wrote an article, snatching the headlines and capitalizing on the traffic. It garnered countless replies and discussions, and he gained a large number of followers.
His analysis was insightful, making netizens feel that they had benefited greatly.
"Hello everyone, I'm your friend: Xiao Fei."
"I believe you all know that our Blue Star human race has won a great victory in the war against the Canglan human race."
"The news mentioned that the Canglan human race was defeated by our side and a large amount of wealth was seized. This wealth will be transported to various cities for sale. One can imagine the sheer quantity of wealth, so much that even the cabinet couldn't handle it all."
"I believe you must be very curious about the matter of the Canglan human race, right?"
Many people perked up upon reading this.
There were too many异世界 (different worlds), and they were only familiar with a small portion of them. Even for the relatively familiar Canglan Realm, most people's knowledge was limited to its name.
As for the specific situation of the Canglan Realm, most people had only a vague understanding.
"The Canglan Realm is a relatively large martial arts world focused on cultivation. It has four great sacred lands, each governing the eastern, western, northern, and southern domains. When we speak of the Canglan Realm, we usually refer to the Sacred Land of the Northern Region of Canglan."
"Since the Sacred Land of the Northern Region of Canglan descended upon Blue Star three hundred years ago, our human race has also risen from obscurity, gradually forming a position to contend with the Sacred Land of the Northern Region of Canglan."
"Originally, because we belonged to the same race, there was a sense of kinship. Therefore, two hundred years ago, we signed a contract with the Sacred Land of the Northern Region of Canglan. This contract stipulated: five mutual aid treaties with the core principles of non-aggression, non-subordination, mutual respect, mutual understanding, and mutual assistance for development. Under the constraints of this treaty, the human races of both realms developed harmoniously and indeed gained considerable benefits."
"Initially, we were weak, and the Canglan Northern Region human race was powerful. But after more than two hundred years of development, they found that we had gradually grown to be no weaker than them."
"This made them very uncomfortable. In several negotiations, their attitude was arrogant, even showing hints of jealousy. Our side had long been vigilant about this."
"What should have been a win-win situation, but they believed that the so-called win-win meant we won twice. This left us speechless because it was the truth."
"Since we became strong, the relationship between the two sides has been fluctuating."
"Until a month ago, the sect leader of the Sacred Land of the Northern Region of Canglan died unexpectedly, and the conflict between the two sides began to escalate."
"Then came the incident where the Canglan human race forced us to cede three cities, threatening to join forces with the undead realm to attack us."
"Negotiations afterward yielded no results. The other side refused to budge, and we had no choice but to fight."
"Therefore, our side attacked the Canglan Realm's base and destroyed their spatial passage. Everything was forced upon us; the Canglan human race was too overbearing!"
"When forbearance is no longer possible, there is no need to endure! The time has come to cut the Gordian knot with a swift knife! This time, the cabinet did an excellent job!"
"Alright, this article ends here. This is the information compiled by the editor from various sources. However, I don't know the truth of it, so please take it with a grain of salt."
After reading the article, everyone had a general understanding of the Canglan Northern Region human race.
To put it simply, we were weak before, and now that we've caught up, they're uncomfortable.
Everyone discussed animatedly, but generally felt that the Canglan human race had a narrow mindset.
"The Canglan human race really has a small mindset. How can their individual strength compare to the combined strength of two races?"
"Exactly. Blue Star is currently a battlefield of myriad realms. Even if we ceded cities, by offending us, their situation will become difficult."
"I suspect their newly appointed sect leader is an idiot to have made such a bizarre decision."
"Serves them right! They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice!"
Everyone debated heatedly, creating a lively atmosphere.
Supreme Academy.
Lin Yu and his senior brother, dressed neatly, stood outside the academy gates.
"Hahaha, junior brother, Lu Li just called me. He said that part of the spoils of war from the Canglan human race has already been transported to Nanjian City. Let's go and take a look together."
The senior brother was very excited. He didn't even have time to drink, and he pulled Lin Yu along, intending to leave the academy and head to Nanjian City.
Lin Yu chuckled wryly, "Senior brother, slow down, slow down."
"If we go any slower, we won't even get leftovers. I'm telling you, the Canglan human race is best at alchemy. Once we get to Nanjian City, focus on their alchemy manuals. Buying even one is a profit."
As the senior brother spoke, he grabbed Lin Yu's arm.
A beam of light appeared beneath their feet, and then the two of them soared into the sky.
The speed was incredibly fast. Lin Yu felt as if the wind was slicing at him, making it impossible to open his eyes.
"Junior brother, just bear with it, it'll be over soon," the senior brother shouted loudly.
However, Lin Yu couldn't hear the voice clearly. Although the senior brother's voice was loud, it was all blown away by the wind.
A hundred miles away, they arrived in ten minutes.
Looking at the magnificent Nanjian City before him, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Being carried by someone flying like this was truly unbearable.
As soon as they landed, someone came to greet them.
This person was burly, with a honest face, wearing armor, and two large axes strapped to his back.
"Zhou Yang, you're finally here! Hurry and come with me. Today, the goods have arrived, and the City Lord's Mansion will be holding a sale."
Zhou Yang said, "I rushed here as soon as I received your message. By the way, let me introduce you, this is my junior brother, Lin Yu."
Lin Yu quickly bowed, "Greetings, General Lu."
Lu Li chuckled, "This kid's cultivation is not low. His talent must be excellent. You, fellow, managed to find such a prodigy, you're quite lucky."
"Enough with the pleasantries, hurry and take me to the venue," Zhou Yang urged.
"Alright, alright, follow me."
He said, leading the way. Lin Yu and Zhou Yang followed behind him.
