Chapter 178: Chapter 140 Sword Control Technique and Overseas Operations_4

In the hospital room, Bai Yiyi was fiddling with a large object that looked like a set of armor.

Zhao Wanxi was helping her browse on her phone when she suddenly sighed, "It’s really tough times, this side of the world is becoming more chaotic."

Bai Yiyi asked casually, "What happened?"

Zhao Wanxi said, "The bloggers I usually follow and support have all run into trouble recently; they were attacked by powerful beings from another realm but fortunately, none of them died."

Bai Yiyi said, "Hmm, more and more people are coming from the Mirror World... wait, it couldn’t be the effect of your calamitous star, could it?"

But she reconsidered and thought it unlikely: "That can’t be possible, can it? Can it still take effect from such a distance?"

Zhao Wanxi said, "If it really were because of me, based on past examples, they should all be dead."

Bai Yiyi thought for a moment and then said, "What if it really works?"

She leaned closer to Zhao Wanxi and chuckled mischievously, "Let’s try it, use your alt account and give it a go."

"Just keep sharing the posts about that nasty nun Hui Ling from the Da Guangming Temple and keep liking and commenting."

Bai Yiyi said excitedly, "Her fans keep trolling me, curse her good and proper for me."

While Zhao Wanxi was operating her phone, she suddenly noticed a piece of breaking news trending heavily.

She looked at it briefly and hurriedly said, "Elder, something’s happened!"

Bai Yiyi asked expectantly, "Is Hui Ling dead?"

Zhao Wanxi shook her head, "No, it’s about the Zhou Tian Sect. The Fifth Elder from the Zhou Tian Sect has gone to Hailan Country and announced that Zhou Tian Sect will join Hailan Country..."

The Zhou Tian Sect was one of the nine major sects, and Bai Yiyi immediately leaned in to hear more.

Meanwhile, the news of Zhou Tian Sect joining Hailan Country swept across the globe like a storm, stirring countless ripples in both worlds.

In the Mirror World, after Jing Shiyu told Lin Xing the news, she noticed that he seemed to fall into deep thought.

Jing Shiyu curiously asked, "What’s the matter?"

Lin Xing said, "I have been thinking recently; ever since I inherited the Sword Hero legacy, I have been using my acts of chivalry to absorb the secrets of the Heavenly Dao during breakthroughs."

"The great sects like Da Guangming Temple and Zhou Tian Sect definitely also have their own unique methods to absorb the secrets of the Heavenly Dao during their second inheritance."

"So oftentimes, their actions might not be solely based on surface-level interests."

"For example, Da Guangming Temple, I suspect their second inheritance is probably connected with recruiting followers or spreading Buddhist teachings, which is why their higher-ups are so actively integrating into this world given the population and media channels here."

Lin Xing recalled his experiences over the past days and puzzledly said, "What then might the top echelons of Zhou Tian Sect want to do to absorb the secrets of the Heavenly Dao from their second inheritance?"

Having fought multiple times with forces sent by Zhou Tian Sect, he had an extremely poor impression of this Mirror World’s dark giant.

If Da Guangming Temple could still possibly turn out good in Lin Xing’s mind, Zhou Tian Sect in his view was completely a power that gathered countless scums.

Jing Shiyu pondered and said, "In the Mirror World, Zhou Tian Sect has always been involved in human and pill trafficking, maybe related to that?"

Lin Xing said, "Whatever it is, it’s nothing good; Zhou Tian Sect definitely doesn’t have any good intentions."

Although Lin Xing felt this way, he could not change many people’s views in this world.

In the following days, Lin Xing felt the societal conflicts growing increasingly intense. On the streets, he saw more people opposing official plans.

Even during his process of slaying strong beings from the Mirror World, he encountered negative emotions from the residents of this world.

Jing Shiyu also seemed to be under growing pressure, as Lin Xing saw her being summoned to meetings and questioning almost daily.

It seemed even some officials were starting to buckle under the pressure, showing inclinations toward full cooperation with the Mirror World.

In this shifting atmosphere, Lin Xing found the speed at which he absorbed the secrets of the Heavenly Dao during his acts of chivalry starting to slow down.

The glow representing the meditation skill’s progress began to fade more slowly.

One day, Lin Xing chased a group of invaders from the Mirror World deep into a portal.

When he emerged, due to the intense fight, his face and body were smeared with lots of blood.

As he left the scene, he noticed the reverence and admiration in the eyes of the passersby replaced by fear.

Suddenly, a young man fiddling with his phone shouted, "Lin Xing! How many people did you kill in the Mirror World this time?"

His phone was broadcasting accusations from the Taiqing Sect against Xia Country and Lin Xing.

Hovering midair, Lin Xing paused for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.

The young man seemed startled by the attention they drew, but then emboldened, he asked, "What? Are you going to kill me too?"

Lin Xing glanced at him and said coolly, "The only reason you’re still alive is that I just cleared all the invaders from this place."

Just a sweep of Lin Xing’s icy gaze made the young man feel as though mountains of corpses and seas of blood were crashing down on him, causing him to collapse to the ground in terror.

Lin Xing shook his head, saying disappointedly, "You’re all too weak."
