Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 140: Issue : The Final Issue of Wangyue Daily
Chapter 140: Issue 140: The Final Issue of Wangyue Daily
Although Yan Gulan scoffed at Fang Zhou’s actions, she still ordered Wang Xiuzhu to keep an eye on him, to prevent any sneaky moves.
Wang Xiuzhu eagerly accepted the task, seemingly intent on personally catching Fang Zhou’s mistakes and kicking him out of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But Yan Gulan and Wang Xiuzhu were bound to be disappointed. Aside from publishing a paper every other day, Fang Zhou made no other moves. Unless necessary, he wouldn’t even step foot on Yujian Peak, spending all his time on Moon Viewing Peak.
The content of the newspaper remained as sensational as always. Though it had stopped focusing on the Xuanzong Sect, it turned to reporting other news in the Cultivation World.
Of course, subtle, indirect criticisms were still present, almost every issue using some event to satirize forced demolitions. Although the characters involved were different in each issue, they were always portrayed negatively.
Every time Yan Gulan saw this, she would get inexplicably angry, but after seeing it for a while, she got used to it, mocking Fang Zhou for whining like a resentful husband.
Besides the news, Fang Zhou also began serializing his personal biography, describing the local customs and the story of his acquaintance and mutual support with Ling Xiaoyue.
Fang Zhou wrote this story with care, utilizing tear-jerking plots from Korean dramas, only stopping short of depicting car accidents, leukemia, and heart disease.
The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect had never experienced such emotional stories. Despite the world’s male-dominated atmosphere, women were naturally more emotional and had no resistance to such tear-jerking tales, quickly getting addicted.
Every time Fang Zhou went to Yujian Peak to sell newspapers, he would see a group of fans looking at him with tear-filled, loving eyes, with some even wanting to donate to him.
After a few issues, Fang Zhou’s personal biography had earned a loyal following, with people promoting it everywhere they went.
Of course, Fang Zhou’s work was only a small, self-indulgent circle. The real star author of the Wangyue Daily, providing joy to countless lonely gentlemen, was the revered Lao Shiji.
On many nights, as the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect secretly read Lao Shiji’s novels under their blankets, their admiration and love for him deepened.
Lao Shiji didn’t stop at serializing “Young Mistress Bai Jie” after “Janitor Aunt Qin,” quickly following up with masterpieces like “Young Girl A Bing” and “Silver Alchemist,” capturing readers across the entire sect, dominating the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Lao Shiji had undoubtedly become the disciples’ favorite author, without exception.
Fang Zhou had Lu Qiuling conduct a popularity poll, resulting in Lao Shiji winning first place with 98% of votes, leaving Fang Zhou in second place far behind, despite his fans’ efforts to garner votes.
After a dozen issues of the newspaper, Wangyue Daily had successfully integrated into the Heavenly Sword Sect in every aspect, becoming a part of each disciple’s daily life.
Now, their daily routine was to read the newspaper in the morning, then cultivate, read jokes at noon, then cultivate, and read novels at night, making use of their love.
Wangyue Daily had taken control of the disciples’ information channels, daily entertainment, and nighttime activities.
Yet, the entire Heavenly Sword Sect remained ignorant of this. To the upper echelons, it was nothing more than a trivial pastime.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and finally came the final day set by the Law Enforcement Department for Fang Zhou.
This day, the Law Enforcement Department would come to forcibly demolish Moon Viewing Peak and drive Fang Zhou away.
On this day, Fang Zhou got up early, bringing the latest issue of the newspaper he had prepared, and flew to Yujian Peak, where thousands of eagerly awaiting loyal readers were.
At the same time, in the Law Enforcement Department, Yan Gulan had already gathered a group of people.
This time, it wasn’t just about driving Fang Zhou away; they needed to demolish the entire Moon Viewing Peak. So, the Law Enforcement Department deployed a third of their personnel, bringing along Magic Treasures capable of breaking mountains.
Yan Gulan personally led the team, not telling them what they were about to do. These subordinates only needed to follow orders.
Before setting off, Yan Gulan called for Wang Xiuzhu to ask what Fang Zhou was currently up to.
“Reporting to the elder, that kid is selling newspapers at Yujian Peak.”
Wang Xiuzhu honestly reported, feeling somewhat depressed after having kept a close eye on Fang Zhou for the entire month, hoping to find any wrongdoing.
As it turned out, the kid was very cautious, doing nothing but staying on Moon Viewing Peak every day, selling newspapers every other day, and withdrawing again after selling.
However, thinking that Fang Zhou would be driven out of the Heavenly Sword Sect today, Wang Xiuzhu quickly cheered up again.
He had already set up some contingencies, just waiting for the kid to leave the mountain, which would be the time for his revenge.
“Still selling newspapers?”
Yan Gulan couldn’t believe it, thinking that at this point, Fang Zhou was still in the mood to sell newspapers.
It seemed this brat had given up resisting.
Yan Gulan sneered, now more curious about what the person surnamed Ling’s expression would be after seeing Moon Viewing Peak demolished and her disciple driven away.
But now, caution was necessary to avoid any unforeseen incidents.
“Ke Yanhan!”
Yan Gulan called, and a stern-looking woman stepped out from the corner, bowing and greeting, “Elder, what are your orders?”
As soon as she appeared, the surroundings people involuntarily made way.
Yan Gulan coldly said, “You are to come along.”
Ke Yanhan nodded and agreed, unbothered by others’ gazes.
…
Yujian Peak.
After arriving here, Fang Zhou was once again surrounded by readers, countless fiery eyes focused on the newspapers he carried.
However, after a month of training, these disciples had already formed the habit of lining up to buy, making the whole scene calm yet noisy.
Fang Zhou, upon arrival, didn’t immediately start selling newspapers but instead looked around at this group of eagerly awaiting readers.
“Everyone, please listen to me.”
Fang Zhou shouted loudly, attracting everyone’s attention: “I have bad news for you. Today might be the last issue of Wangyue Daily.”
The whole scene fell silent, with everyone thinking they had misheard, and many at the back couldn’t hear at all.
Fang Zhou repeated loudly: “You did not mishear. Today might be the last issue of Wangyue Daily.”
This time they heard clearly, and immediately, the scene broke into a deafening uproar.
Countless disciples showed disbelief, loudly questioning the reason, many squeezing forward, making the scene chaotic, almost collapsing Fang Zhou’s counter.
Fang Zhou jumped onto the counter and shouted: “Everyone quiet down and listen to me!
“Order!”
“Order!”
The people assigned to maintain order at Yujian Peak also quickly intervened, striving to control the imminent riot.
From his elevated position, Fang Zhou looked down at this group of disciples with expressions of shock, confusion, and disbelief, and slowly said: “You should all know, I am not a person of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Currently, I reside on Moon Viewing Peak…”

Those who had read Fang Zhou’s personal biography knew that he and his master Ling Xiaoyue had supported each other through hardships, parting, and reuniting, finally finding respite on Moon Viewing Peak.
And now, the heart and soul of the master and disciple were about to be taken away.
