129: Things are getting worse

Ye Liuyun was in a coma for a week.

During that week, the outside world was in an uproar; everyone in Great Xia and even the entire world was discussing him.

As the saying goes, 'men fear fame, pigs fear getting fat.'

All of Ye Liuyun's previous information showed him to be incredibly arrogant, and many people already disliked him, so once this matter fermented, it immediately topped the trending list in Great Xia.

Currently, public opinion is roughly divided into two factions: one believes that Ye Liuyun is not a proper human, but a genetically mutated monster.

They believe Ye Liuyun should not live in Great Xia and should be expelled, and this sentiment is growing stronger.

The other faction believes that Ye Liuyun's ability to transform into his Vicious Beast true form is a mutation of his special ability, and moreover, he is killing Vicious Beasts and protecting Great Xia.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's just one aspect of his special ability.

The two sides have stirred up a huge storm online, with their arguments escalating to the point where some unrest has even occurred.

Under these circumstances, the Eastern Front was the first to publicly support Ye Liuyun, pinning his previous reports on their official account!

The Western Front did the same, with Chang Tianpao even personally engaging in online arguments with those people.

The Northern Front was even more enraged because Wang Mang had left directly, and everyone on the Northern Front personally went online to argue with the opposing side.

Some of those who criticized Ye Liuyun were incited by various countries, while others simply envied Ye Liuyun's talent and abilities.

Don't let their fervent criticism fool you; if they had his abilities, they would wake up laughing from their dreams.

Ye Liuyun was too dazzling; ever since the college entrance exam, he appeared on the front page every few days, always for major events and accolades.

Too many people couldn't stand him.

However, an announcement from Headquarters pushed public opinion further into the spotlight.

"General Ye Liuyun, Chief of Staff of the Western Front and Captain of the Supervisory Brigade, has had his position temporarily revoked due to certain reasons; his military rank and benefits remain unchanged.

The current public opinion situation is purely an attack and insult. We strongly protest Hong Country's slanderous information against General Ye Liuyun.

General Ye's special ability is a secondary evolution, and all records are officially documented. Please do not spread misleading rumors!"

This announcement instantly exploded.

All parties found it unbelievable.

Especially the removal of Ye Liuyun's position.

Western Front.

Chang Tianpao threw the item in his hand onto the table upon seeing the announcement.

"What do you mean, Captain Ye's position has been revoked? I'm going to the Imperial Capital; I'm going to see Old Tang!"

Although he feared Ye Liuyun, he still greatly admired him; at such a young age, he had already achieved distinguished service.

Besides, whether he can transform into a Vicious Beast is his ability; others wish they had it but can't, so to treat him like this just because of a few words from others!

It's simply outrageous!

The situation on the Eastern Front was similar; Liu Sanshui was fuming, pacing back and forth.

"Commander, this is simply a malicious personal attack!" Zhao Donglai's face turned red and his neck thickened with anger; it was too infuriating.

It was blatant bullying; the things outside were one thing, but even people internally were speaking so harshly.

"I'm going to the Imperial Capital to ask what's going on. He's our combat hero, after all, and I must get justice for him!" Liu Sanshui took a deep breath.

This was not just about Ye Liuyun; it concerned all of them.

If they could say such things now because of this matter, would they do the same to others in the future?

The reason this matter made them so angry was that Ye Liuyun had done nothing wrong; was he being treated this way simply because his special ability had a unique power?

...Quancheng.

Ning Nanguo smashed everything he could that morning. "Prepare a plane for me! I'm going to the Imperial Capital! I'm going to ask Tang Guosheng what happened to my son!

What mistake did he make? Just because of a few rumors outside, they revoked my son's position!"

Secretary Liu stood beside him, head bowed, not daring to speak.

"Leader, it is said that the young Master has already been taken away by General Wang. Please don't be angry; General Wang will surely handle this matter."

"He handles it, but Ye Liuyun is my son. Now I'm going to demand justice!"

Ning Nanguo's body trembled with anger. Back then, those bastards were timid and dared not speak against Great Xia.

Now they've actually stood up, and from their posture, they even seem to be threatening.

How dare they point fingers at Great Xia!

"Leader, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is handling it. Do you think it's appropriate for you to go now? What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs'! Are you not listening to me? I said prepare a plane for me! I'm going to the Imperial Capital!"

Ning Nanguo's roaring voice echoed through the villa.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right now!"

Secretary Liu, startled, quickly left.

Ning Nanguo felt that phone calls were no longer enough; he had to go and demand justice!

Secretary Liu quickly prepared the plane. Upon returning, he saw Ning Nanguo on the phone, his emotions having calmed down.

Secretary Liu quietly retreated.

At this moment, the only ones who could calm Ning Nanguo like this were Wang Mang or Ye Liuyun; besides these two, even Old Tang probably couldn't achieve this.

"Understood. Then please take good care of my son!"

"Alright, then I can rest assured!"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Nanguo waved his hand, "Tell them to cancel it!"

Wang Mang had just called, telling Ning Nanguo to continue living peacefully and not go to the Imperial Capital because of this matter.

They would handle Ye Liuyun's matter... Demon Capital.

Tianshan Villa.

Wang Mang sat in the living room.

His eldest disciple, Zhen Bukuai, second disciple, Shao Jieguang, and third disciple, Yang Zhenxiong, stood before Wang Mang with their heads bowed, not daring to speak.

Wang Mang had just called the leaders of the Western, Northern, and Eastern Fronts, explicitly forbidding them from causing any trouble over Ye Liuyun's matter.

Those who should be at their posts should be at their posts.

Everyone should do what they're supposed to do.

This was his, Wang Mang's, business, and there was no need for any kind of 'forced abdication' tactics; he disdained such methods.

"Zhen Bukuai, what's wrong with you three? Did you resign with my permission?"

Wang Mang scrutinized the three with cold eyes.

He hadn't even known about this, and then the three of them just popped up. Facing Wang Mang's words, Zhen Bukuai looked up, his gaze stern.

"Master, Tang Guosheng treats Junior Brother like this; I can't stand it. We are not tools in his hands.

Does he really think we care about his little job? Ridiculous, absurd!

Since he wants to prioritize the big picture, then let him play by himself. From now on, who cares what happens!

At worst, the three of us will go out and establish another Great Xia..."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Zhen Bukuai was directly embedded into the wall by a kick from Wang Mang.

"You bastard, dare to say one more word to me!"
