Chapter 180: 180. Eat the human blood steamed buns of the Xuanji Sect

What is the most valuable news?

Of course, it’s exclusive news, something you have that others don’t.

If it also reports the most important current affairs, then the sales and attention would soar straight up, taking off immediately.

Now, the news of Xuanji Sect being attacked has spread throughout the Cultivation World thanks to the convenience of Mystic Crystal Jade, but there’s only a brief sentence, leaving countless people in the dark.

This gives Heavenly Sword Daily a huge news space, allowing for a special issue on the Xuanji Sect, to hype up the matter and boost the fame of Heavenly Sword Daily.

Fang Zhou quickly organized his thoughts and said to the Heavenly Sword Sect high-level members who were still waiting: “I have a plan. Please listen carefully.”

His suggestion was to immediately dispatch dozens of disciples at the fastest speed, led personally by an elder, to aid and support the Xuanji Sect in the name of righteousness, and to conduct on-site interviews to uncover the full story. If the battlefield’s brutality is not investigated on-site, it would be too late by tomorrow.

After the interviews, the disciples should rush back to Heavenly Sword Sect day and night using flying swords, and then produce the latest issue of the Heavenly Sword Daily – focusing on Xuanji Sect.

All the news headlines should revolve around the attack on Xuanji Sect by the cult, the faster and more detailed the better, conducting all-around, in-depth reporting.

After hearing Fang Zhou’s suggestion, the scene was somewhat quiet.

Some members of the Heavenly Sword Sect high-level were surprised by Fang Zhou’s bold suggestion.

It was like opening the wounds of the Xuanji Sect for the entire Cultivation World to see, just like if the Xuanji Sect fell into a cesspit, and you stood beside it with a megaphone shouting – “Someone fell into the cesspit, come and see.”

True Master Yu Jian had a gentle smile on her face; she had the same idea, but didn’t know exactly how to execute it until Fang Zhou came up with a detailed and effective plan.

Qin Yunzhu was very interested and wanted to talk to Fang Zhou, but to avoid exposing her acquaintance with Ling Xiaoyue, she kept quiet.

True Master Xuan Jian, smiling, asked: “Little Fang, what if this angers the Xuanji Sect?”

Fang Zhou didn’t expect True Master Xuan Jian to call him so affectionately; “Little Fang” sounded quite odd.

He explained to True Master Xuan Jian: “Although this might seem a bit inconsiderate, great achievements are not bound by small matters. This is mainly to expose the cruelty and horror of the cult, and to rally the entire righteous path to strike back against the cult. I believe the Xuanji Sect will understand our good intentions. Besides, they themselves have already notified the Righteous Alliance, so they probably wouldn’t mind others knowing more.”

The high-level members listened thoughtfully to Fang Zhou’s words.

You kid are not only bold, but also rather shameless, much like your master.

Not content with previously slandering Xuanji Sect in Wangyue Daily, now you also want to exploit their plight.

After a pause, Fang Zhou added: “If every sect is as secretive as the Xuanji Sect, not disclosing details of battles with the cult to alert others, then it won’t be just them suffering when the disaster comes. All cultivators have the right to know the truth. Our newspaper should not only disseminate news, but also uphold and spread a culture of justice and transparency, so that everyone in the Cultivation World can benefit. This is a righteous cause, and all obstacles must be overcome.”

“Well said!”

Qin Yunzhu subconsciously applauded, not caring about the other high-level members’ surprised looks, loving this righteous cause.

Seeing the high-level members still seemed hesitant, Fang Zhou added: “As long as we make the Heavenly Sword Daily famous with this incident, we won’t have to worry about sales in the future.”

This time, all the high-level members applauded enthusiastically, finally hearing something they all liked.

This is the righteous cause of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it must be supported.

Yu Qing was somewhat dumbfounded; she thought Fang Zhou made sense, but why were these elders so excited?

This time Qin Yunzhu didn’t need to use her Sect Master status to make a decision; the Heavenly Sword Sect high-level collectively adopted Fang Zhou’s suggestion.

After adopting the suggestion, that night Heavenly Sword Sect acted swiftly, with True Master Xuan Jian, adept at external affairs, leading a team of dozens of disciples, rushing to Xuanji Sect to provide humanitarian aid and conduct on-site interviews.

Wei Yuanling, in charge of the Heavenly Sword Daily, also took action, scrapping the predetermined content of the new issue and waiting to get to work as soon as the interviews returned.

The sales teams preparing to be sent out assembled, numbering over a thousand people. This time, the Heavenly Sword Sect was determined to sell their newspaper across the entire Cultivation World.

After giving his suggestion, Fang Zhou had nothing else to do and strolled back to Moon Viewing Peak to sleep.

But before dawn, he was dragged up by Yu Qing, as the disciples who went to investigate and interview at Xuanji Sect had returned with detailed information.

The Heavenly Sword Sect and Xuanji Sect are located at the north and south ends of Jingnan State. Traveling by horse would take more than two months, yet the Heavenly Sword Sect members made the round trip in less than a night, including the time for interviews and investigations, likely exhausting many Spirit Swords along the way.

“So what if they came back, why call me?”

Fang Zhou wasn’t very concerned about the details of the Xuanji Sect being attacked; reading the newspaper tomorrow would be enough.

Yu Qing suddenly bowed deeply to Fang Zhou, her delicate and picturesque face full of apology: “Taoist Fang, I apologize, I previously misunderstood you and thought your news was all fake.”

Fang Zhou: ???

Otherwise, could it actually be true?

He reached out to touch Yu Qing’s forehead, puzzled: “Yu Qing, are you having a fever and confused? Go and isolate yourself quickly.”

Yu Qing’s face blushed slightly, her eyes shimmering with shyness, but she didn’t avoid Fang Zhou’s hand.

She whispered: “Taoist Fang, you don’t need to worry about my feelings anymore, I was wrong.”

Fang Zhou finally realized something was off: “What on earth are you talking about?”

Yu Qing didn’t respond. She gathered her courage, grabbed Fang Zhou’s hand, turned her hairpin into a Spirit Sword, and dragged him away from Moon Viewing Peak.

Being led by Yu Qing, Fang Zhou arrived at Yuncang Palace again, where he met the high-level members of the Heavenly Sword Sect. This time Qin Yunzhu wasn’t present.

This group of high-level members clearly hadn’t slept all night, but for cultivators, staying up was as normal as eating and drinking.

However, at this moment, their eyes towards Fang Zhou were like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, staring wide-eyed in silence.

Fang Zhou stared back until Yu Qing handed him the manuscript of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples’ investigation and interview at Xuanji Sect, then he understood the situation.

The investigation was detailed, documenting the entire process from the beginning to the end of the attack on Xuanji Sect. Xuanji Sect suffered greatly, with several elders dying, the Sect Master Qing Jing Wanderer injured, and the entire Xuanji Sect almost reduced to ruins.

The True Mother God Sect was clearly well-prepared. When they realized they couldn’t completely destroy Xuanji Sect, they quickly withdrew, leaving hardly any bodies behind.
