During the few days Yin Yang spent reading, the Wannian Platform was in utter chaos.
Since the arrests of Wang Hu and Lu Feng, several others had been “confessed” and implicated, each with solid, undeniable evidence against them.
Without giving their backers any time to react, the cases were immediately turned into ironclad convictions.
But then came the twist.
People from the other side also began to be arrested—similarly for murder, and with concrete evidence!
If they hadn't already made the previous cases ironclad, they could have negotiated a compromise now—for example, trading prisoners and pretending nothing had happened.
But now that everything was set in stone, there was no room for negotiation. Since they couldn't trade, everyone was going down together!
And so, the Wannian Platform fell into complete disarray.
Just as the two sides were arguing relentlessly, news arrived from the front lines.
Huangyan City had fallen!
Wan Tianqing immediately went to the Wannian Platform and declared that every single one of the accused would be executed and their family assets confiscated.
Had it been peacetime, there would still be time for debate.
But in these extraordinary times, there was no time to spare on trials.
Since the evidence was sufficient, they would simply be executed.
Immediately after, the Wannian Platform issued three consecutive directives.
The entirety of Great Wei was shaken!
The common people finally grew anxious, for the gate that had never been breached since the founding of the nation had finally welcomed its first invader today.
Yin Yang became even more famous!
His previous theory that 【Great Qi had a higher chance of winning】 spread rapidly. While many cursed him, even more came to believe him.
Meanwhile, Yin Yang had disguised himself as someone else and was currently eating noodles with Xiao Zhe.
“Man, you really are something. You succeed in whatever you do.”
“A single endorsement deal you take now would make you more than everything I've earned struggling all these years.”
Yin Yang pulled out a couple of tissues, wiped his mouth, and said,
“It's not as exaggerated as you make it sound. So, do you plan to develop your business in Central City from now on?”
“Yeah.”
Xiao Zhe nodded, also wiping his mouth.
“Wangduan City is just too small. With the population decline over the years and now the war, my family's old ways of making money are no longer enough.”
“As the new head of the Xiao family, I have a duty to forge a new path for us!”
“Haha, that's great. Your cultivation is really fast—you're already Sequence 7.”
“I remember Mr. Mei and the Security Bureau Chief back then were also Sequence 7. Now, you'd be considered a prominent figure in Wangduan City.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhe couldn't help but feel a bit smug.
“Hehe, pretty impressive, right? A Sequence 7 before turning thirty. Tsk tsk tsk, if it were any other pathway, I'd definitely be considered a genius by now!”
Yin Yang nodded. Xiao Zhe wasn't really bragging; a Sequence 7 under thirty was definitely a genius in the eyes of ordinary people.
Of course, Yin Yang, Su Baadao, and Xia Yitiao were different—they were geniuses among geniuses.
“I got lucky. While negotiating a deal with a client, I learned about a place called Wanwu City.”
“I bought some promotion materials there and even ran into an old senior who was a Sequence 6.”
At this point, Xiao Zhe spoke with a face full of sighing emotion.
“That old senior was the same; he broke through to Sequence 7 before thirty, but he's been stuck at Sequence 6 his entire life.”
“Sigh, this Corpse Bearer pathway really ruins people.”
Having said that, he suddenly cheered up again.
“But I shouldn't say that. At least it's better than being an ordinary person. If I hadn't been a Corpse Bearer back then, I would've died long ago.”
“What about you? What Sequence are you now?”
He hadn't forgotten that his good brother was also a transcendent.
“Sequence 6.”
Yin Yang didn't hide it. Xiao Zhe was worthy of his trust, and besides, this wasn't some sort of trump card.
Clatter.
Xiao Zhe lost his grip on his bowl, nearly spilling the noodle soup inside.
He stared at Yin Yang in utter bewilderment, his expression as if asking if he had misheard.
Yin Yang picked up his soda, took a sip, and said,
“After leaving Wangduan City, I went through a lot.”
He didn't elaborate further, and Xiao Zhe didn't press him. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhe suddenly said,
“By the way, I met a girl named Wang Nan in Central City earlier. She has a token on her as well.”
“Yeah, her father helped me back then, but she doesn't know my real identity.”
“I see.”
Xiao Zhe felt a bit proud, thinking to himself that his relationship with Yin Yang was still the best; others didn't even know his true identity.
“You argued in that debate that Great Qi would win. Do I need to prepare to run away in advance?”
“My main business is currently in Central City. Give me an analysis.”
“No need.”
“I said Great Qi has a higher chance of winning, but it's unrealistic for them to completely annex Great Wei.”
“You can think of it as Great Qi potentially winning in terms of obtaining reparations, resources, and so on.”
“But if they want to completely wipe out Great Wei, the current Great Qi is incapable of that.”
“Why?”
“Because Great Wei has Wan Tianqing.”
Xiao Zhe nodded half-understandingly. He needed some time to analyze what Yin Yang had just said.
“War causes panic. When others are fearful, I am greedy. Now is the perfect time to swallow up more benefits!”
“What should I do?”
“That depends on you. Your business sense is far sharper than mine.”
“Hehe~”
Xiao Zhe wiped his mouth and stood up.
“Boss, check please!”
“Ninety-seven.”
Xiao Zhe casually pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and placed it on the table.
“Keep the change.”
With that, the two stood up and walked out.
“I came to Central City to do business. Why did you come?”
“To find something.”
“Find what? Do you need my help? I'm not bragging, but I actually have some connections in Central City now.”
Yin Yang smiled and shook his head.
“The thing I'm looking for is a bit too dangerous for you.”
Xiao Zhe thought about it and realized it made sense. His brother was already Sequence 6; he might not actually be able to handle the things someone of that level would deal with.
“Then how do I find you in the future?”
“Leave it to fate.”
“Damn it!”
...
Great Wei Television Station.
“Our guest today is Mr. Liu Yang!”
“I'm sure everyone has seen his debate videos. Before the war even started, Mr. Liu Yang predicted that Great Qi would have a higher chance of winning.”
“Now that Huangyan City has been breached and the Great Qi army is driving straight in, what are your thoughts, Mr. Liu Yang?”
The host looked at Yin Yang with a smile.
Since the fall of Huangyan City, Great Wei had been looking for ways to quickly stabilize public morale.
In the end, they found Yin Yang, because everything he had said before had come true, and exactly as he had analyzed!
Under these circumstances, many people treated his words as absolute truth.
A single explanation from him was more effective than ten official explanations.
Thus, they approached Yin Yang, hoping he could help calm the public.
Yin Yang naturally wouldn't refuse, because they had promised that after the interview, he would be allowed to visit the Wannian Platform.
So when the camera turned to him, Yin Yang said with absolute solemnity,
“Great Wei will surely win!”
