158: Chapter 136: Various Strategies in Response to World-Shaking Changes_2 158: Chapter 136: Various Strategies in Response to World-Shaking Changes_2 Lin Xing casually browsed through several posts about food, newly released gas, and criticized movies, reflecting on the tragic state of Qingtian City and couldn’t help but sigh at the peace of the modern world.
Yet, with this peace ca a sense of ease that also brought a hint of worry in his heart.
“There might be a lot of deaths coming up, I wonder what the official plans are.”
In the following days, Lin Xing spent his days chatting online, watching videos, resetting forgotten passwords, and reacclimating to modern society.
Jing Shiyu, on the other hand, was busy every day, seemingly with a lot of work to complete.
After Bai Yiyi had consud that consciousness, she found that her own consciousness had significantly strengthened, extending her control over puppets using the God Attachnt Skill to five minutes.
She tirelessly went in and out of operating puppets every day, either training them or going through newly acquired mories.
That day, while Lin Xing was online, a video suddenly caught his attention.
In the video, a shadowy figure was sprinting quickly down a road, outpacing several cars in the blink of an eye, then lightly leaped to the rooftop of a roadside building, disappearing into the dark night.
The person who recorded the video ntioned that they had captured it on the street yesterday, claiming to have seen a superpower user with their own eyes.
However, the viewers of the video evidently didn’t believe it, instead leaving comnts about the impressive special effects.
Yet upon seeing the video, Lin Xing imdiately recognized that the figure might be a martial artist from Mirror World.
He thought to himself, “Have the people from Mirror World started coming over on a larger scale?”
…
During this seemingly calm period in the present world,
In the Mirror World, an explosive piece of news spread like a storm sweeping through the lands, centered in Lingxi Province and expanding globally.
One of the nine major sects, the Taiqing Sect, had been razed to the ground overnight.
Upon first hearing this, people found it hard to believe, considering it a rumor.
Most people couldn’t believe that a powerful entity like the Taiqing Sect could be annihilated overnight.
But as increasingly detailed information through various channels traveled, more and more people in the martial community began to believe its authenticity.
Fear, anxiety, tensions, curiosity, and excitent spread, and all kinds of rumors started to circulate.
So rumors ntioned that on the day the Taiqing Sect was flattened to the ground, a rain of fire fell from the sky as divine punishnt for the sect.
Others said that it was a giant dragon that had rained fire from the sky, completely burning down the Taiqing Sect.
There were also whispers that the Taiqing Sect had offended a suprely powerful individual, resulting in the annihilation of their entire sect.
As news of the Taiqing Sect’s destruction spread across the martial community, various rumors flew unchecked, causing widespread fear.
Amidst this climate, so particularly specific rumors began to circulate.
The initial source of these rumors seed to be from among the remaining eight of the nine major sects.
But later on, more related intelligence continuously leaked from these eight sects and even other slightly weaker clans, spreading further in the martial community.
These rumors were about the reactivation of the Secret Technique and the mystical realm.
The Secret Technique had been known in many sects, but most did not take it seriously.
This was because many years ago, the Secret Technique had been used by nurous people and proven entirely ineffective.
However, nurous new rumors about the reactivation of the Secret Technique were now spreading rapidly within the martial community.
Even the detailed content of the Secret Technique seed to be promoted quietly by several different forces behind the scenes.
And the rumors about a mystical realm filled with gold, abundant food, and exotic treasures also increased.
Simultaneously, as these rumors spread, various major forces around the world began to make their moves.
…
In a mountain range in the Northwest, within a temple of the Heavenly Will Sect.
After returning from Dongya Prefecture, Xuanzhenzi engaged in daily sword refinent rituals, determined not to let anyone take his sword the next ti.
Soon, he also received various ssages from the martial community and from within the sect, sparking much curiosity.
“Oh?
The Secret Technique is working now?”
Xuanzhenzi thought for a mont and then coldly snorted, “This news has spread wildly in a short ti everywhere, and to say there’s no manipulation behind the scenes is implausible.”
“Could it be that there’s sothing dangerous within the sect?
That they need to coax so many fodder into it?”
However, Xuanzhenzi soon discovered that even the Hierarch of the Heavenly Will Sect was covertly spreading these ssages, seemingly luring various ragamuffins, bandits, and independent martial artists toward the mystical realm.
The more Xuanzhenzi thought about it, the more suspicious he beca, “If there were real benefits, these old foxes would have sneaked in on their own.
Now they all want others to explore ahead; then I certainly can’t be in a hurry.”

Zhao Tianlong lay in bed, his cheeks appearing increasingly gaunt.
His health had worsened day by day since Lin Xing had exorcised him, turning his muscular body into what now resembled a thin bamboo pole.
The worsening illness made him lose interest in the various news from outside, even the destruction of the Taiqing Sect only mildly surprised him before he lost attention.
Until one day, news ca from within the Divine Dragon Gang, demanding that he gather a
