Chapter 623: 353 External Pressure (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly!)

Red Robed Taoist from Qingyun Mountain made a massive move, causing a sensation that shot up to the top of the trending searches across Dragon Country.

Even neighboring Korea, Japan, and many other overseas countries caught wind of the news.

The netizens of Dragon Country were relatively calm, after all, the Heavenly Master was within Dragon Country, and nothing ever caused too much of a stir when it happened locally.

But for Korea, Japan, and those overseas countries, the reaction was unpredictable.

After all, the Heavenly Master seldom offered them protection.

Thus, many in Korea and Japan were in a panic, especially after the previous Ghost Gate incident which had already caused them significant losses.

Now with such a big commotion, how could they not be alarmed?

Many from Korea and Japan were inquiring about the internal affairs of Dragon Country, praying that this uproar had nothing to do with them.

At the same moment, netizens within Dragon Country had their eyes fixed on Qingyun Mountain and the official media.

They were eager to find out what had actually happened.

However, after some time, the official media did not directly address the full mobilization of the Red Robed Taoist from Qingyun Mountain.

Instead, they simply released a brief statement,

"During this special period, take precautions, stockpile supplies, and minimize going out!"

The Dragon Country’s official stance didn’t clarify what had happened at Qingyun Mountain.

But the few official statements made their attitude clear.

They were telling everyone to not wander outside unnecessarily, as the coming period was going to be tumultuous and it was better to stock up and stay put at home.

Of course, there was no need to be too anxious, as the officials of Dragon Country and the masters of Qingyun Mountain were there to hold up the sky.

After the release of this message by the Dragon Country’s officials, quite a number of its citizens began stockpiling and planned to go out less.

On the other hand, the reaction overseas was even more panicky, as in their view, the response from Dragon Country’s officials was somewhat frightening.

And it was tricky, keeping things vague to make them guess, right?

Japan and Korea were particularly terrified.

One has always been an arch-enemy of Dragon Country, and the other is famously known for stealing from Dragon Country, sneaking off with various cultural legacies during peacetime.

In general, these countries already had strained relations with Dragon Country.

Now situated right next to Dragon Country, they could get away with a few antics during peaceful times without much consequence.

But the current situation was different, with different forms of Spiritual Energy Recovery and Demons rampant.

Dragon Country was inevitably at the heart of considerable turmoil, now compounded by the cryptic information released by officials.

How could Japan and Korea, completely clueless about the internal affairs, manage?

Especially after experiencing the previous Ghost Gate incident and the Light Song Clan incident.

With the total mobilization of Qingyun Mountain, and the ambiguity of Dragon Country’s stance,

The internal panic was intense in both Korea and Japan.

If Dragon Country indeed had some fun, Korea and Japan might not fare any better.

Even if nothing major happened inside Dragon Country, just the ripple effects caused by the operations of Qingyun Mountain’s Taoists could extract a severe toll on both Japan and Korea.

Therefore, at this time, the authorities of Korea and Japan were the most anxious.

Soon, the leaders of both countries began stirring up trouble.

They publicly called on the media and demanded that Dragon Country disclose information, recognizing Qingyun Mountain as presently the strongest Cultivator’s Mountain Gate on Blue Star.

It could be said that the eyes of the entire world were now focused on Qingyun Mountain.

The actions of Qingyun Mountain, to put it bluntly, could influence the entire course of Blue Star.

Even the Heavenly Master alone could dominate Blue Star.

Not just Korea and Japan, many other overseas countries were currently paying such close attention to Qingyun Mountain, partly because they feared another invasion by a powerful alien civilization like the Light Song Clan, which could impact the survival of the human race.

Secondly, they also feared that the Heavenly Master of Qingyun Mountain had ambitions because, after all, with his power, ruling over the entire Blue Star would be a matter of mere thought.

They simply couldn’t afford to ignore matters that entwined with their interests.

The intent of Korea and Japan was to have Dragon Country’s officials share information resources with them.

What exactly happened at Qingyun Mountain?

What major event had occurred within Dragon Country?

These were matters they felt they had the right to know.

Korea and Japan were genuinely fearful of a crisis and were now desperately trying to force the Dragon Country’s officials to release the information.

With Korea and Japan taking the lead, followed closely by several overseas countries who echoed their call and also expressed support for Korea and Japan’s stance.

These overseas countries also had their ulterior motives, undoubtedly also wanting firsthand information.

However, they overlooked that this tactic, if it had been employed during peacer times, might have been effective against Dragon Country.

After all, during peacer times, a significant country like Dragon Country cared about its international influence.

The pressure from many overseas powers combined would have been significant in the past, and Dragon Country would have definitely taken it seriously, possibly causing them quite a headache.

But now the circumstances had changed, the times had evolved.

The world was no longer peaceful, and besides, Dragon Country had the great god of Qingyun Mountain, the Heavenly Master, safeguarding the East.

What did Dragon Country have to fear?

Moreover, what kind of ulterior motives did these Korea, Japan, and other aligned overseas forces think they could hide from Dragon Country’s officials?

They were nothing but a nest of rats.

Furthermore, the most crucial point was that Dragon Country now was different from before.

Both in terms of strength and its position on Blue Star were not the same as a few years ago.

Before the Light Song Clan invaded Blue Star, Dragon Country was still a developing nation and overall had the power of a third-world country.

At that time, the United States was the overlord of Blue Star, dominating and benefiting from its position.

But after the invasion of the Light Song Clan, the facade of the United States was forcefully stripped away.

Being an alien puppet, after the Light Song Clan was thoroughly defeated, the United States faced isolation and abandonment by the entire world.

No one bothered with it anymore.

Now, the United States, faced with global sanctions, vanquished accurately, was significantly weakened.

Not to mention, the Heavenly Master had transferred Light Song Clan technology to the Dragon Country’s officials.

Over the past few years, with the technological resources of the Light Song people shared, Dragon Country’s technological strength had developed rapidly, to put it mildly.

It was improving by leaps and bounds.

Remember, the United States had developed its technology with just a little help from a few wandering Light Song people.

And these few wandering Light Song people never truly regarded the United States as equals, exploiting it throughout, and the technology they shared with the United States was incomplete and limited in resources.

Yet, within just a few decades, the United States developed into the world’s foremost power, its technological level far surpassing the global average, effectively outpacing other countries by a century.

Now that Dragon Country had the full technological civilization of the Light Song Clan shared, plus adequate supply resources from the Light Song motherships,

you could almost guess, using one’s rear end, to what extent Dragon Country’s technological level had developed.

So now, with Dragon Country’s technological strength far surpassing that of the United States by thousands of times,

it had ascended as the true new overlord of Blue Star.

And now Korea and Japan, these mere small fry, dared to exert pressure on Dragon Country?

The high officials of Dragon Country looking at this overseas pressure even felt like laughing.

How dared they?
