Chapter 2175: Trending Searches

Hearing Fu Wangchan’s words, Jin Cenglv also turned his head to glance at Jin Cengran, hoping he could clear up some of the confusion.

But Jin Cengran didn’t know either. He shook his head at the two of them. "No idea. He just suddenly showed up, I don’t know why."

After saying that, Jin Cengran’s brows knit slightly.

They’d interrogated Angel people before. From the questioning, it was clear Angel’s main base was in Nine Stars City.

Now, a Ninth-order Cultivator suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He was definitely from Nine Stars City.

Could it be that something’s gone wrong over there in Nine Stars City?

Thinking of this, a few more shades of worry surfaced between Jin Cengran’s brows.

Hopefully, Old Third and Xiao Qi are okay.

The fighting was still going on, and the news that war had broken out in Ning City had already spread across the internet.

The top trending search was about Angel attacking Ning City, and all the trending searches behind it were about the Battle of Ning City as well.

The hottest post was made by a survivor who had personally lived through the massacre, a survivor named Rabbit Mingming.

[Rabbit Mingming: I used to only hear about the Ever Winning Army in rumors. Today I finally saw them in real life, but I really wish I had never seen them.

This morning, the small town where I live was massacred. So many people died. I’m one of the survivors.

But my life was bought with the lives of five people from the Ever Winning Army. The five of them held me under their bodies, shielding me to the very end. Seriously, this is the first time I’ve truly understood what it means for someone to carry the weight in our place.

But I really wish I had never had to understand it. I wish I had been the one who died back then, and that those five could have lived on, kept protecting our homeland.]

As soon as this post went up, thousands of replies piled up underneath.

[Floor 1: Seriously, I never thought war would come this close to me. I’m in Ning City, I’ve already freaked out. No idea when it’s going to be my turn to evacuate.

Reply 1: I’m in Ning City too, don’t panic.

Reply 2: I’m in the neighboring city. Don’t know if it’s going to spill over here.

Reply 3: Fuck, I kind of want to rush up there and fight to the death.

Reply 4: Don’t panic. The Ever Winning Army is still over there fighting tooth and nail. What are you panicking for? Worst case, we go down with them.

[Floor 2: Seriously, Angel deserves to die! How are they still not dead yet!

Reply 1: I’ll trade ten years of my life for every Angel bastard to drop dead.

Reply 2: I’ll trade all the remaining years of my life for Angel to be wiped out.

Reply 3: Everyone in Ning City, you better live! Live to a hundred!

[Floor 3: Normally something like this isn’t allowed to be posted online. Now that it can be posted, does that mean the people in charge don’t even have time to manage it anymore?

Reply 1: Holy shit, that actually makes sense.

Reply 2: Look at the timing and you’re still here spreading rumors?

Reply 3: What are you panicking for? Worst case, twenty years from now we’re back to normal. Facing stuff like this, when has Xia Country ever been scared?

[Floor 4: Anyone volunteering to support the front line? I’m already on the move.

Reply 1: Bro, badass. Count me in.

Reply 2: Count me in, count me in.

Reply 3: And me.

Actually, as soon as the Ning City incident got uploaded, the heat kept climbing. Even if the Ever Winning Army was too busy fighting for their lives, someone on their side still saw it.

Fu Hong hugged his laptop, darting rapidly through the crowd.

When he found Fu Xiyan, he saw him sitting in meditation doing Breathing Regulation, so he had no choice but to turn away and go look for Jin Cengran. "Master Jin, the Ning City situation has been posted online. It’s on the trending list. Do we need to control it?"

After listening, Jin Cengran sank into thought.

This really was a problem.

If it spreads online, it will definitely cause panic. But if Ning City falls, the war will definitely spread to many places, and getting people to prepare in advance is also a good thing.
