Chapter 119: Where’s the Resolve?
What is a rumor?
The more it was talked about, the more validity it gained. Rumors had the power to sway the public in any direction.
Immortal Alliance’s explanation lacked many crucial facts about the event to hide the existence of devils. It was obvious to any disciple that something was off.
Yang Jun attacked Wang Qi.
For real?
Could Yang Jun even attack Wang Qi? An insta-loser the other day did the impossible the next and hurt Wang Qi?
The most deviation could’ve done was make him lose his mind from the raw power and, at most, give Wang Qi a bit of a hard time, if any. That’s how most saw it.
To those with ulterior motives, the self-convinced know-it-alls, and troublemakers looking to blow things out of proportion, the harsh, cold ‘truth’ was in the open.
Young Yang Jun had a dark past, his mind ever on revenge. With a meager talent that held him back, retribution felt so far away. It was then he met Wang Qi, the bookworm. A man with a nasty personality, looking to harass people and make fun of them instead of minding his own business. As Yang Jun suffered his ridicule as well, the “Why does this petty guy have such a talent, and I don’t?” came to mind. The dark and demonic thought drove him to retaliate against Wang Qi. Wang Qi took advantage of the deserted area they were in and killed Yang Jun. The Immortal Institute valued his talent to such a degree that they explained it as a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s carelessness that killed Yang Jun. Nothing but lies…
[Well yeah, the Foundation Establishment cultivator carelessly killing Yang Jun was made up, sure, since it was an Unfettered who did him in. Besides, that clear and focused strike was by no means ‘accidental.’]
