Xu Shu couldn’t ask.
Sigh, swagger is always a double-edged sword; it has its pros and cons.
To maintain one’s own pose, sotis you have to give up sothing.
Well, today’s pretty much enough; insatiable greed only leads to downfall.
Staying silent is the best way to pretend to be an expert.
Anyway, the goal is nearly achieved; a few Fifth-order characters have already joined .
It seems that other than Mu Xifeng, who’s relatively down to earth, most Fifth-orders don’t want to interact with in the comnts.
Those who were roaring in the post, claiming they’d band together to challenge higher tiers, not one of them added as a friend. I don’t know if they lack the information about Althias, or if they chickened out.
Xu Shu was about to exit the post to start a series of "trades" with those who had added him, based on the information they provided.
As for what kind of information was considered adequate and what wasn’t, Xu Shu had his own flexible criteria.
Basically, if your strength was adequate, your information would qualify, and he would provide you with a likely location for Efeilus.
Xu Shu’s real objective this ti was not to show off, but to orchestrate a murder through another’s hand!
As long as the Alien Species King died, that was enough.
He didn’t care who would do it.
Before closing the comnts section, Xu Shu saw the last few short comnts.
"@Tai Chu, added you, approve it; check the PM." — Anonymous.
"I added you too." — Anonymous.
"Damn! I knew it! The news must have spread! Who the hell are you guys? Have the guts to show your main accounts when you talk!" — Mu Xifeng.
Lord of Calamity always seed like a rash brute, speaking with the tenor of an impotent rage-filled youth.
His response was "Just joining the fun, lol, @Tai Chu, approve ." — Anonymous.
"Damn! Yet another one... damn it, Tai Chu, who the hell are you? Not many know how to see through Efeilus’s camouflage; are you the Spirit Venerable from the Taoist sect, who’s claid to have already transcended?
"Or the missing Green Emperor from the Salvation Army?
"Lord Bai Yujing hasn’t responded for a long ti; I’ve always thought he was dead... could it be you?
"Or are you actually the Star Lord from the Star Group, just back from the black prison, trying to trick into an ambush?
"Who the hell are you, just tell us! Tell! Why won’t you speak?!" — Mu Xifeng.
The three consecutive anonymous comnts seed to have really agitated Mu Xifeng; he was on the verge of hopping mad.
He rattled off several paragraphs breathlessly.
You can’t bla him for being extrely agitated. If you put yourself in his shoes, you might feel the sa.
Who wouldn’t be irritated if, after months of painstaking planning and finally injuring your target, you were about to succeed when suddenly soone exposes your plan and inexplicably calls in a crowd to share your spoils, or even poach your prize?
That would surely be infuriating enough to make anyone jump.
It could be embarrassing, sure, but at least venting sowhat, while not being able to be directly rebutted, might offer so consolation.
However, as Xu Shu read what Mu Xifeng was saying, it was all starting to sound suspicious.
Who is he talking about?
A transcended Taoist Spirit Venerable?
The missing Green Emperor?
Lord Bai Yujing hasn’t responded?
Star Lord from the Star Group? Returned from the black prison? As if the head of the Star Group was previously imprisoned?
Xu Shu was utterly clueless.
He didn’t recognize any of those figures.
And he didn’t dare continue the pretense along these lines.
He worried that one wrong question could give him away.
Besides, it seed like this information involved the big players in the transcendent world; likely not sothing small, maybe these were secrets?
The Female Void Palace, just because a female disciple got pregnant, which wasn’t a big deal, was about to shut its gates and didn’t want outsiders to know.
And if Lord Bai Yujing hadn’t responded for a long ti, maybe he was dead; wouldn’t they want to keep that under wraps too?
If these secrets, well kept until now, were exposed because of his comnt, wouldn’t that cause a huge uproar?
And spilling several big secrets at once like that, is that really wise?
This Fifth-order seems easy to approach, but maybe isn’t all there in the head?
But was he doing it on purpose or was it an accident?
Xu Shu pondered.
Just as this thought crossed his mind,
he saw a familiar face, lanie, with several hundred replies, flooding his comnt section:
"This post is restricted from replies! Discussion is forbidden! Violators will be considered enemies of the Astronomy Association." — lanie, Fourth-order Dongxuan True Monarch.
Copy-pasted *299
Big red letters with an exclamation mark, that’s the assertiveness of a "Level II Authority Organization," straightforwardly applying blunt force to lock the post.
"Hey, it looks like I guessed right; Mu Xifeng, that big mouth, spilling a lot of classified information, prompting the Astronomy Association to directly intervene and shut him up...
"Tsk tsk, this lanie is still too young, don’t you know the more you try to cover things up, the more attention you attract? If you had just pretended not to notice, others would have just laughed it off, but making such a big fuss, aren’t you just validating the authenticity of the news?"
Xu Shu clapped his hands, as a keyboard warrior dictating terms wasn’t beyond him.
Since replying to the post had been disabled, he simply closed it.
Then he took a look at the outside world channel.
Sure enough.
Posts starting with "Shocking" had increased by over thirty,
all with high reply counts, so in the hundreds, others 999 .
Xu Shu took a quick glance.
Like, [Shocking! Lord Bai Yujing suspected perished, without a Fifth-order safeguarding, can Bai Yujing still maintain its status as a superpower?] etc.
