The mainstream media around the world remains silent.

However, Dragon Country’s self-media suddenly started releasing related news extensively, outwardly advocating for peace and humanity, but covertly alluding to Zhou Leng as a relentless killer with his hands stained with the blood of human Martial Saints.

Some even hinted that Zhou Leng was the new generation of bearded Martial Saint.

Even some mainstream media forwarded this news and published it in newspapers.

Zhou Leng seemed unconcerned, simply returning to Ancient River Research Bureau to rest.

The next day, Zhou Leng called the current Martial Guard institute’s director, Zhang Tiankuo.

"Director Zhang, I’d like to ask how it’s going regarding the media attack by the Demon Worship Sect against me?"

On the other end, silence ensued for a long time before slowly responding, "The people I sent were called back."

"Who called them back?"

"I can’t say."

"Hmm, I understand now."

"Saint Zhou, please remain calm..."

"I’ve said before that this demon-slaying operation will cost us everything. I gave you all a day, but unfortunately, you didn’t appreciate it."

Zhou Leng hung up the phone, opened the news, and recorded every mainstream media spreading cynical news.

Afterward, Zhou Leng flew to Xiongjing, set up a wireless camera connected to Demon Brain, placed it on the ground facing a Demon Worship Sect media building, walked to face the camera with his back to the building, and started a live broadcast and recording.

"I am Martial Saint Zhou Leng. By the collective authorization of the Supreme Court and Martial Saints, I will purge the Demon Worship Sect. The old dynasty’s failure to fully account for sins has allowed many Demon Worshipers to hide across various sectors in Dragon Country. Now, the demon-slaying operation enters its hardest phase of assault..."

"I, Zhou Leng, have decided to follow through with the overall will, to execute the demon-slaying operation thoroughly. Let the Demon Worship Sect suffer, I’ll bear the infamy."

After speaking, Zhou Leng turned, and threw a straight punch.

White Qi Force exploded, striking the building.

With a loud bang, a massive void appeared in the middle of the building.

Countless cracks spread throughout the building, then it collapsed with a crash.

Zhou Leng uploaded the recording online, then continued flying to the next Demon Worship Sect media office.

No matter who called, he refused to answer.

One call directly reached the CEO of a short video company.

"According to department decision, please interrupt the live stream and block all short videos related to Martial Saint Zhou."

"Okay, I’ll immediately consult Martial Saint Zhou, saying your company asked me to interrupt the live stream and block the short videos."

"You..." That person was speechless for a moment.

"You dare not block Saint Zhou’s account, nor do we."

"You should understand the gravity of the situation."

"Of course I understand. If not blocked, the company is gone; if blocked, my life is gone. You could have directly blocked his account, why bypass the telecom company to find me?"

There was no answer from the other end because the telecom company also dared not block.

One, two, three companies...

Quickly, all relevant companies fled their office locations.

But Zhou Leng didn’t care, blasting each media office to fragments.

Under one video, a comment garnered the most appreciation, becoming a popular comment.

"Every punch of Martial Saint Zhou Leng contains the anger of being bedridden back in the day."

The number of people watching the live broadcast was too high, causing many viewers to be disconnected after watching for some time.

Finally, the company had to repeatedly send system messages in the live room.

"Please don’t misunderstand, it’s not us interfering with the broadcast. It’s that too many people are watching the broadcast at this moment, exceeding the company’s carrying capacity..."

Zhou Leng saw the live platform’s desperation for survival but said nothing, summoned Demon Spirit Masters and Tree-man Demigods, and surrounded a solemn office location.

Demigods positioned at all corners, released demigod power, enveloping everyone inside.

Zhou Leng ascended the steps, halfway, stopped, looking down at the ground.

Lv Yuanhao surrendered himself here and ended his life here.

Zhou Leng lifted his head and looked at the solemn building, speaking out.

"Everyone undergoes dual bloodline and spiritual tests of the Demon Worship Sect. Pass, and live."

Zhou Leng’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it spread across the whole area.

The Demigod Demon Spirit Master gently waved his magic staff and the dense crowd was bound by invisible force, flew out of the building, appeared in the open area. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Some people were puzzled, some were furious, some had terrified gazes, some were calm, while others showed relieved smiles.

Then, demigod Demon Spirit Masters successively released half-divine artifacts, cast spells, and beams of divine light enveloped everyone.

Slowly, on top of some people’s heads, black apertures appeared.

Three minutes later, the spellcasting was complete.

Zhou Leng gazed at everyone on the open ground, his icy eyes flickering with ominous light.

A tiny flame danced in his eyes.

"Reporting, sir, approximately 32.5% are Demon Worship Sect members, and 26.8% work for the Demon Worship Sect. Please instruct."

The dignified demigod Demon Spirit Master appeared as a subordinate before Zhou Leng.

"Kill."

That Demigod Demon Spirit Master slightly moved his finger, detonating the heads of all related personnel with black apertures.

The whole process was broadcasted live on the internet.

Even the live platform and telecom company deployed all personnel, using every means to ensure uninterrupted broadcasting.

Zhou Leng turned, facing the live camera.

"Only by thoroughly cleansing the remnants of the Demon Worship Sect can humanity overcome future Ten Realms war and all subsequent disasters. Otherwise, humans will remain slaves generation after generation, endlessly falling, never finding peace."

"For humanity to survive, continue."

Countless Demon Worship Sect members in front of phone screens cursed violently.

Worldwide, Demon Worship Sect members could no longer suppress their inner fear and all took action.

Martial Saints and demigods were prepared long ago, scattered in major human cities, instantly killing any Demon Worship Sect member found.

Demon City Army and Martial Guard had been rigorously defending.

An unprecedented global war began, affecting Blue Star.

The Ten Realms war officially rehearsed.

When Blue Star’s Upper-Rank New Emperor battle concluded, Dragon Country was the first to quell the Demon Worship Sect chaos.

The Upper-Rank Martial Saints returned to Blue Star, silently witnessing and listening to everything that had transpired.

The blood-covered Huang Xuan Pavilion, Chen Shaohuang, and Li Tianyuan convened a Martial Saint meeting.

The Martial Saints gathered in a solemn hall in Xiongjing.

Zhou Leng entered, everyone looked towards him.

Some faces turned pale, some showed astonishment, some remained unchanged, and some nodded with a smile.

"Well done," Chen Shaohuang praised.

Li Tianyuan tossed the Star-slaying Sword to Zhou Leng.

"Four Upper-Rank Martial Saints slain beneath this sword. We completed what we needed to do."

Only then the Martial Saints understood that before the Upper-Rank New Emperor battle, Zhou Leng had lent Li Tianyuan the Star-slaying Sword.

Zhou Leng took the sword, scanning the three Upper-Rank Martial Saints.

The trio bore serious injuries, many parts of their bodies ruined like mashed meat, yet their spirit was stronger than usual.

"Did other Upper-Rank Martial Saints participate?"

"Yes, two of them, killed together," Huang Xuan Pavilion replied.

Currently, only six Upper-Rank Martial Saints remained for humanity.

"Alright, explain your actions on Blue Star," Huang Xuan Pavilion asked.

"Is an explanation needed for killing Demon Worship members?"
