Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 143: You’re involved every time there’s trouble.
Chapter 143: You’re involved every time there’s trouble.
Hearing these chaotic yet overwhelmingly powerful shouts, Yan Gulan was both shocked and enraged.
She couldn’t understand what forced eviction from Moon Viewing Peak had to do with these disciples, and why they would stand up for that yellow-haired boy.
Could it be simply out of sympathy?
Fang Zhou looked at Yan Gulan’s bewildered face from below and couldn’t help but reveal a bullying smile.
Of course Yan Gulan didn’t understand, because this is the power of public opinion.
Public opinion is something intangible yet truly existent. In chaotic or disorderly societies, it’s almost useless, but in orderly societies, public opinion is a frightening force.
Whoever controls public opinion, controls the power of speech, and public opinion can achieve many unimaginable things.
You can do good deeds or bad deeds, depending on the user’s stance.
Doing good can guide society towards kindness, improve social morality, supervise governmental corruption, and regulate ethical standards.
If you do bad, you can invert right and wrong, provoke confrontation and hatred, or even force the authorities to compromise.
Heavenly Sword Sect internally is an orderly society, and public opinion is a powerful weapon here.
However, the Heavenly Sword Sect from top to bottom does not realize the importance of public opinion, so Fang Zhou secretly seized this powerful weapon through the newspaper.
Yan Gulan always thought Fang Zhou was using the newspaper to insert private goods about the forced eviction incident secretly, thinking he was actually scolding her.
Even Yu Qing thought so, but they were gravely mistaken.
Fang Zhou’s articles around forced evictions were actually using public opinion to brainwash the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.
He linked the forced eviction to negative images like seeking fame and bullying the weak. If you carefully look at the dozen issues of the newspaper, you’ll find that those who did forced evictions were either hypocritical sects or the vile Demon Sect, and their fates were quite bad.
The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect are very pure. Once Fang Zhou controls the channels through which they receive information, they will believe the Cultivation World is as described in Fang Zhou’s newspaper, where the evil like forced evictions, and the good oppose them.
Once this view is fostered, it will be difficult to eradicate.
Heavenly Sword Sect’s disciples pride themselves on being renowned for righteousness. Once they realize their sect’s Law Enforcement Department is doing forced evictions, their worldview will easily collapse—so our sect is just like the Demon Sect?
Especially since Fang Zhou, through personal biographies, portrayed himself and Ling Xiaoyue as a vulnerable group, indirectly reinforcing the negative image of the Law Enforcement Department bullying the weak.
Heavenly Sword Sect’s disciples poured out to Moon Viewing Peak to see for themselves if the sect was really doing disappointing things. Supporting Fang Zhou and Wangyue Daily was just incidental.
Thus, when Lu Qiuling shouted against the forced eviction from Moon Viewing Peak, few responded, but when Chu Yunfei shouted against the forced eviction, many disciples responded.
This is the power of public opinion. After realizing he couldn’t use force to fight against the Heavenly Sword Sect, Fang Zhou chose to use the weapon of public opinion.
Yan Gulan simply couldn’t understand. This was not a matter of sympathy for Fang Zhou, but rather a matter of the Heavenly Sword Sect ignoring the power of speech.
Now, Fang Zhou has seized public opinion, morality is on his side, while Yan Gulan controls some of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s force but has lost moral ground.
In the eyes of the disciples, the Law Enforcement Department is just an unjust department, and Yan Gulan is a parasite.
The shouting around grew louder, making Yan Gulan agitated, wishing she could drag all these troublemaking disciples down and beat them.
At this moment, another person arrived at Moon Viewing Peak, it was Yu Qing.
Yu Qing originally rushed to Sword Lake, intending to ask her master to come out and stop the Law Enforcement Department.
True Master Yu Jian’s attitude was strange, neither agreeing nor refusing, merely instructing Yu Qing to go to Moon Viewing Peak and act as the situation demands.

Yu Qing was quite puzzled but didn’t dare ask more. After leaving Sword Lake, she then knew most of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples had gone to Moon Viewing Peak together.
She feared that so many disciples gathering together might cause big trouble, so she hurriedly came over.
As soon as she arrived, she saw thousands of disciples surrounding the fifty Law Enforcement members and Elder Yan, almost mistaking the disciples were attacking the Law Enforcement Department and Elder Yan, nearly falling from her Spirit Sword in fright.
Although she was relieved after seeing clearly, she was still scared enough.
So many disciples going to Moon Viewing Peak was definitely not spontaneous, one hundred percent related to Fang Zhou.
Yu Qing didn’t know how Fang Zhou did it, feeling helplessly amused and bewildered internally. She suddenly realized, as long as it’s related to Fang Zhou, unusual scenes always show up unexpectedly, he’s always involved in the trouble.
However, this matter could be big or small, if not handled properly, it could lead to serious issues. Yu Qing began to consider how to minimize the impact; otherwise, Fang Zhou would have big trouble.
Seeing Yu Qing appear, Yan Gulan seemed to find a target to vent and immediately scolded her sternly: “Yu Qing, did you call these disciples here? This is absurd!”
She couldn’t understand how Fang Zhou managed to gather so many disciples, nor believed that a mere outsider in Qi Refining Realm could do it.
So when Yu Qing appeared, Yan Gulan immediately suspected her, believing only this True Disciple could use her status to achieve this.
Besides, the motive was there—you’d do foolish things for a beauty.
Facing Yan Gulan’s baseless accusations, Yu Qing replied gently: “Elder Yan misunderstood, this is the disciples’ spontaneous behavior, it has nothing to do with me.”
Yu Qing respected Elder Yan but wasn’t afraid of her.
Yu Qing’s elusive attitude instead calmed down Elder Yan.
She took a deep look at Yu Qing, then suddenly turned to shout at the Law Enforcement disciples: “Why aren’t you acting? Are you defying orders?”
The Law Enforcement disciples were torn, almost crying.
They dared not defy orders but with so many fellow disciples watching, if they forcefully conducted the eviction, they’d become public enemies unless they hid in the Law Enforcement Department forever.
Yan Gulan saw many disciples around still shouting against forced evictions, she couldn’t help but shout: “This is Law Enforcement Department’s internal matter, are you disciples going to betray the sect?”
No one dared to take this big hat, and the shouting temporarily quieted.
Fang Zhou, who had been silent below, suddenly laughed: “Ridiculous, since when does the Law Enforcement Department represent the entire Heavenly Sword Sect?”
Fang Zhou looked around and loudly said: “From my purely objective standpoint as a passerby, you disciples represent the Heavenly Sword Sect. This world is yours, ours, but fundamentally it’s yours. You are vigorous, youthful, like the rising sun. You may not be so dazzling, but you will ultimately illuminate the entire world. You represent the future of Heavenly Sword Sect!”
The thousands of disciples present felt their spirits shaken. After entering Heavenly Sword Sect, they realized their proud talents were insignificant here, reduced to nameless ordinary disciples, and the Dharma Transmission elders paid no attention to them.
Never had anyone said they were the rising sun, the future of Heavenly Sword Sect.
Yu Qing stared fixedly at Fang Zhou, eyes sparkling.
Only Yan Gulan’s face turned extremely dark. Not just because Fang Zhou openly contradicted her, but because his words seemed deeply provocative and divisive.
Yan Gulan gave a secret signal, a figure suddenly leaped from the shuttle, rushing towards Fang Zhou.
