196: Human race conflicts
Xiao Lu's explanation to Ye Kong immediately resonated with almost all Human Race viewers.
In the camera, Ye Kong was fighting the Alien God.
Meanwhile, their Human Race compatriots had, not long ago, been proclaiming their intent to hunt down Ye Kong.
Of course, Xiao Lu didn't need to explicitly state it; everyone knew it was the Kyoto God Clans' Ye Family that was hunting Ye Kong.
With tears in her eyes, Xiao Lu finally said, "Even if Ye Kong has committed faults, he has contributed to resisting the Alien Race and is the future and hope of our Human Race. His crime does not warrant death!"
These words once again pushed the Human Race's emotions to a climax.
In their daily lives, people were already dissatisfied with the various major forces within the Human Race. The various Families were arrogant and overbearing, controlling almost all of the Human Race's resources.
Now, with Xiao Lu's words, people's dissatisfaction with the Families and their sympathy for Ye Kong surged even higher.
People began to clamor and shout.
"Ye Kong cannot die!"
"Last time, in the Ten Thousand Clans Tournament, it was Ye Kong who led our Human Race to win the Tournament. Ye Kong absolutely cannot be killed by our own Human Race!"
"That's right, I heard that in the battle of Wuji City, it was also Ye Kong who arrived in time and held on for a long time, preventing Wuji City from being captured by the Alien Race."
"Ye Kong, even as a Martial Saint, once severed an Alien God's arm. He is the future and hope of the Human Race and absolutely cannot be harmed by the Ye Family for nothing!"
The crowd was furious!
Kyoto TV headquarters had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation at this moment. Many just felt that Xiao Lu's words were inappropriate.
The Ye Family was their major shareholder; wouldn't Xiao Lu's hosting be a slap in the face to the Ye Family?
The staff responsible for the news channel at headquarters all turned their gaze to a middle-aged man with his hands on his hips, watching the screen.
This was a seemingly very experienced director, watching the live broadcast.
Then he picked up the intercom and said, "Connect to the scene, ask her if she's finished."
"If she hasn't, let her continue speaking. I'll give her a chance!"
Everyone was startled, not expecting the program director to actually allow Xiao Lu to continue broadcasting live in front of the camera!
If this continued, it might lead to a major disaster!
Several employees quickly reminded, "Director, our station's reporter publicly expressing remarks with a personal stance, this might be very dangerous!"
"Yes, this might compromise our objectivity and neutrality as a news media, losing credibility and a portion of our audience!"
The director's mouth curved into a smile as he said, "Is that so? I, on the other hand, think this is the best opportunity to increase the visibility of our Kyoto TV!"
"In this world, there are as many stances as there are factions. Does news media not have its own affiliated faction?"
"We are the Human Race faction, and if we break it down, most of you are ordinary people, not powerhouses of the Human Race, not scions of powerful Families."
"The person who can protect us ordinary people against Alien Race invasion is the person we need most, and that person is Ye Kong, isn't he?"
For a time, everyone fell silent.
They were all ordinary people, without cultivation. Even if they had it, their talent was very poor. It was precisely because of people like Ye Kong, who led the Human Race against the Alien Race, that they could live here in peace and contentment.
Otherwise, if the Alien Race invaded, it would be the ordinary people who suffered.
"However..."
The director's tone shifted.
"Our Kyoto TV has never instructed the on-site host, Xiao Lu, to express remarks related to Kyoto TV's stance. These are all her own statements."
"Our Kyoto TV merely committed a management oversight by not immediately cutting the live broadcast."
Everyone was stunned again, and when they looked at the director again, their expressions had changed.
Didn't this imply that if something went wrong, Xiao Lu would take the blame herself? As expected of an old director, he was too ruthless.
The director looked around, saw everyone staring at him in shock, and then explained, "Since Xiao Lu is doing this, she must have made up her mind."
"I didn't immediately cut the live broadcast; I was already helping her. I hope you don't underestimate others' resolve."
As he spoke, a group of people suddenly rushed into the control room.
The badge of the leader clearly stated his position: Director.
These were personnel dispatched by the Ye Family to Kyoto TV headquarters.
This person, gesticulating wildly, angrily pointed at the director's chest and asked, "Didn't you see the live broadcast? Why haven't you cut the broadcast yet!"
The director gave a look to a nearby staff member.
Then he slowly said, "Oh, I just saw it. What did Xiao Lu say? I didn't hear anything before, I just opened the screen to hear what she said."
The Director dispatched by the Ye Family frowned tightly, staring intently at the program director.
"I don't believe it. You've been following this program all along. The broadcast started, and you didn't watch it immediately?"
"Quickly shut down the communication!"
The director smiled slightly, raising both hands near his ears.
"Don't be angry. I really don't know what happened. If we're going to shut it down, we should at least understand the situation first."
The Director adjusted his leather jacket, put his hands on his hips, and was very angry.
He turned around, looked around, then turned back and pointed his finger at the director, shaking it a few times.
Gritting his teeth, the Director slammed his hand on the table.
"You're not going to shut it down, are you? I'll shut it down!"
Then the Director turned his head and gave a look to several Ye Family staff members nearby.
Several people immediately walked over, took over the positions of the Kyoto TV staff, and tried to cut off the signal source.
The director didn't stop them, just smiled as he watched the Director.
The Director also looked at the director, a triumphant look in his eyes.
But after a while, the Ye Family staff said to the Director, "It's not working, cutting off the signal source requires a permission password!"
The Director narrowed his eyes and took a step closer to the director.
"You better think carefully. Our Ye Family is a shareholder of Kyoto TV. Is it you, or Kyoto TV, that wants to turn against us?"
The director chuckled and said, "How could that be? Oh, Xiao Chen, you should know the password, right?"
"Shut down the live broadcast as he requested."
The director tilted his head to look at another Kyoto TV staff member. He nodded and immediately went to operate, interrupting the live broadcast.
The Director pouted and said, "Consider yourself sensible."
Then the Director pointed at the director again and said to the other Ye Family staff, "Let's go!"
The whole group rushed out in a flurry.
The program director looked at the three words "No Signal" displayed on the screen and smiled.
Xiao Lu had already said everything she wanted to say. When the cameraman told her the program was interrupted, she wasn't surprised at all.
Rather, she was quite surprised that headquarters had given her so much time to speak.
Ye Kong, I've done everything I can. The rest is up to you.
Xiao Lu's speech only lasted about five minutes, but the effect it triggered was immense.
The Human Race was shaken, and the Families were shaken, especially the Ye Family.
Ye Kong was still fighting the Alien God in the firmament at this time.
He swung his blood blade Demon-Sealing Soul-Devouring Slash again and again, attacking the Alien God.
Although each strike possessed deadly killing power, it was defused by the Alien God every time.
Ye Kong continuously released Extreme Killing Intent, summoned Great Path Divine Lightning, and at the same time, wielded his blood blade to strike the Alien God.
For a time, the Alien God also had no good means to counter Ye Kong.
After all, these three were the strongest offensive methods, and even an Alien God had to prioritize defense.
"Ye Kong, you are, after all, just a Venerable, merely an ant. Let's see how long you can last!"
The strongest attacks were not unlimited; each use consumed True Qi and physical strength.
Although Ye Kong had not yet shown signs of fatigue at this moment, he himself knew very well that the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
What to do? Relying solely on his own methods, contending with the Alien God was already stretching him thin; escaping would be even more difficult.
Ye Kong quickly searched through the items he possessed.
A pile of miscellaneous skill books, magic crystals... and countless Spirit Medicines of various grades.
Spirit Medicine!
Now he had heaven-ranked top-grade ginseng velvet in his hand, which was extremely effective. As long as he focused on strengthening this one Spirit Medicine, supplemented by a few other Spirit Medicines, the effect would be there!
Why not absorb the other Spirit Medicines himself and convert them into True Qi!
As long as he had a continuous supply of True Qi, fighting this Alien God for three days and three nights would not be a problem!
"Heretic, let me show you the might of the blood blade!"
The Alien God snorted coldly and cursed, "Ye Kong, maintaining such a high-intensity offensive, your True Qi must be running low, right?"
Ye Kong raised his sword to the sky and laughed, "Let's see who gives out first!" Ye Kong's fingertip storage ring flashed, and a Spirit Medicine was quickly consumed, replenishing his True Qi.
The blood blade longsword was thrown high by Ye Kong, instantly bursting with a blood-red glow. Extreme Killing Intent attached to it, erupting with monstrous Killing Intent.
Great Path Divine Lightning descended from the sky onto the blood blade. The blood blade received the Great Path Divine Lightning, and the Thunder Light shone brightly, exuding a captivating aura.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Carrying Divine Lightning and Killing Intent, Ye Kong swung the blood blade. The blood-light Sword Qi immediately whistled, transforming into Thunder Light, and rushed towards the Alien God.
Just as it was about to approach the Alien God, the Sword Qi instantly transformed into Great Path Divine Lightning again, roaring towards the Alien God.
For a time, Thunder Light streaked across the sky, and Killing Intent and Divine Lightning fused into Sword Qi, crashing into the Alien God.
After a roar, the Alien God was unharmed. A divine pearl reappeared in front of the Alien God, hanging strands of Chaos Qi, protecting the Alien God and blocking the Divine Lightning and Killing Intent.
"Hmph, petty tricks!" The Alien God revealed a disdainful smile.
Ye Kong continued to swing the blood blade, Sword Qi striking at the Alien God one after another.
"Let's see how long you can last!"
Ye Kong shouted while swinging the blood blade.
"That's what I should be asking you!"
The Alien God retorted, then rotated the divine pearl to protect himself.
Just as both sides were locked in an inextricable battle, Ye Qingge finally arrived at the scene.
She leaned against a tree with one hand and clutched her chest with the other, drenched in sweat and slightly panting.
Looking up, she saw that familiar figure, it was Ye Kong. Only then did Ye Qingge smile.
She finally found Ye Kong!
Ye Qingge took out the jade pendant granted by the Ye Family God Ancestor from her waist and glanced at Ye Kong.
After a slight pause, she seemed to have made up her mind.
"God Ancestor, I have found Ye Kong's location. Please cross the Void Realm and come!" The jade pendant immediately vibrated, and a beam of divine light rose!
A spatial crack immediately appeared in the firmament! A terrifying aura instantly emanated from the Void Realm crack.
"Ye Kong, I've finally found you! Wait for me to execute you!"
Ye Kong was greatly alarmed, looking at the Void Realm crack; it was actually the Ye Family God Ancestor!
