I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

This editor-in-chief is neither the first nor the last to break the news.

More and more media outlets and netizens followed suit and published articles, and the online evaluation of Wuyin Temple instantly underwent a 180-degree reversal, falling directly from "praised by the whole internet" to "hated by everyone"!

"Holy crap! Does this Mist Hidden Temple treat ordinary people like ants? They're all demons in human skin from top to bottom!"

"These hypocritical scumbags don't care about our lives at all! Their cultivation has gone to waste!"

"Where are those sycophants from the Misty Hermitage who were all 'immortal and venerable'? Come out and take your beating! I knew something was off about them a long time ago!"

"I'm furious! Hell is empty, and the devils are on earth—that's exactly what they mean by scum!"

"I hate myself for being so incompetent! Otherwise, I really wanted to grab a knife and rush in, and slaughter all these scumbags!"

Even the scariest ghosts have their rules, but the wickedness of the human heart knows no bounds!

The internet exploded!

The trending topics praising Wuyin Temple haven't been removed yet and are still high on the list, creating a stark contrast with the current barrage of criticism. It's an eyesore no matter how you look at it!

Netizens flocked to those old trending topics, typing furiously and venting all their pent-up anger. After all, in the eyes of the Taoist priest of Wuyin Temple, the lives of ordinary people were not even worth as much as chickens and dogs. Who could tolerate that?

Just as the online flame war was raging, local netizens from Yingqin City suddenly posted a bunch of posts, including videos and pictures, instantly bringing the argument to a halt: "Stop cursing! Stop cursing! These thieving Taoists are all dead!"

In the video, the Taoist priests of Wuyin Temple were lying dead, their blood flowing like a stream. The magnificent temples on the mountaintop were also demolished to pieces, leaving only ruins. It was a truly tragic scene!

"I risked my life to climb to the top of the mountain, and this is what I saw: all the Taoist priests were dead!" The netizen who posted the message added a note.

Normally, such a bloody scene should make people uncomfortable, but at this moment, netizens all over the internet feel completely refreshed and gratified!

"Well done! A satisfying death! This is karma!"

"An eye for an eye, they deserve to go to hell!"

"Who was that guy who did it? I'm a fan now! That's true justice!"

When watching the video before, everyone was filled with anger, feeling that their lives were worthless in front of cultivators; now that Zhong Jiu has retaliated with blood and sought justice for the dead, everyone's anger has finally found an outlet, and they feel incredibly relieved.

Just as things were calming down in one area, netizens in Zhongnan City erupted again, with a flood of posts going viral: "Our Wuyin Temple is finished too! A mad monk suddenly attacked and slaughtered all the Taoist priests!"

"I saw the words that the mad monk had written on the mountainside; they were all 'Kill, kill, kill,' so menacing they could scare you to death. It gave me the creeps!"

"Here's the key point! Everyone else was running downhill, but one person rushed uphill. We compared them, and it was the guy who massacred the Wuyin Temple in Yingtan City!"

The news about Zhongnan City caused a complete uproar online!

Just a few days ago, Wuyin Temple was riding high, but in just a few hours, it completely collapsed, going from being universally admired to universally condemned. The speed of this reversal is astonishing.

But no one felt sorry for him; all they heard were cheers that he "deserved it."

This wave of popularity made two people incredibly famous—Zhong Jiu and Fu Zhu.

Fu Zhu is a new face, and his identity has not yet been revealed, but Zhong Jiu's background was quickly exposed by Wu Yuanying's netizens: a local of Guiling City, surnamed Zhong, who had previously saved the old temple keeper of the City God Temple.

"Holy crap! He's a hero from Guiling City! Brother Zhong is amazing!"

"Wait a minute, don't you guys find it strange? Brother Zhong was completely unknown before, how come he suddenly became so amazing?"

"I have a bold guess!"

"Me too! +1!"

"Didn't the Misty Hidden Temple keep smearing the City God of Guiling City? The City God definitely can't tolerate that! Young Master Zhong might have been ordered by the City God to deal with these scumbags!"

"Yes! I remember that the first person to have the old temple perform a blessing ceremony was this young man, Brother Zhong! It's terrifying to think about, could he be someone from the underworld?"

Online trends change faster than turning the pages of a book. After netizens got tired of criticizing Wuyin Temple, they focused all their attention on Zhong Jiu, and all sorts of speculations flew around.

"Stop guessing! Brother Zhong isn't from the underworld, he's my husband!"

"Have some shame, ladies upstairs! Brother Zhong is clearly mine!"

"Haha, someone's already dug it out, Brother Zhong has a younger sister!"

The discussions grew louder and louder, and Zhong Jiu, who was originally unknown, became remembered by countless people overnight.

This matter naturally could not be kept secret from the authorities; the relevant videos and pictures had already been reported up the chain of command and passed to various levels and departments.

In the office of the Guiling City Special Operations Team, a group of people were gathered around these documents, discussing them animatedly.

"This guy's surname is also Zhong! He might be related to our team leader from five hundred years ago!"

A little girl wearing glasses joked.

The words had barely left his mouth when, "Snap!"

The sound of a glass shattering suddenly rang out, and Zhong Yingmei, who was looking through documents, froze instantly. The glass in her hand fell to the ground and shattered, but she didn't react at all. Her eyes were blank, as if her soul had been taken away.

"Team leader? Are you alright?"

The Taoist priest with the long lamp beside him quickly asked.

Zhong Yingmei finally came to her senses, took several deep breaths to suppress the turmoil in her heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I don't know if we were one family five hundred years ago, but now, we are indeed one family."

"what?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is that guy a relative of the team leader?"

Everyone in the office was stunned and looked at each other blankly.

"He's my brother, my own brother."

Zhong Yingmei spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone quite complex.

Holy crap!

The entire office erupted in chaos; everyone was stunned!

"My god! Our team leader has such an awesome older brother?!"

"When can we meet? I want an autograph! I want a photo with you!"

"Team leader, you kept this a secret for too long! You had such an amazing older brother and you didn't tell me sooner!"

The group was incredibly excited, chattering amongst themselves, their words filled with complaints. They lamented how they had encountered so many unsolvable problems before, and if they had known earlier that their team leader had such an awesome older brother, they wouldn't have had to worry about them at all.

They can do it with just a few taps!

Little did they know, Zhong Yingmei was even more shocked than they were. She shook her head with a wry smile, "I just found out myself; he's really that amazing."

That unremarkable older brother who had always been so ordinary that she even had to help him open bottle caps, actually had such a ruthless and decisive side.

Did I never really understand him?

The news that Zhong Jiu was Zhong Yingmei's brother spread like wildfire within official circles.

People from all walks of life, whether they knew him before or not, had dealt with him before or had no dealings with him, came to him, either trying to build a relationship or asking indirectly if they could meet Chung Kau.

Fearing that Zhong Yingmei would be unhappy, everyone quickly added, "If Brother Zhong doesn't have time, then that's fine, we won't bother you."

Among these people were powerful officials and billionaires, but they all adopted a very humble attitude in front of Zhong Yingmei, not daring to show any airs whatsoever.

At first, Chung Ying-mei was flattered, but after answering so many calls that her hands were sore, she gradually became numb to it.

Is this what they mean by "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"?

From childhood to adulthood, she was the pride of her family, and everyone praised Chung Kau for having such a good younger sister; but now the tables have turned, and her brother has become a highly sought-after figure, which has also elevated her status as his sister.

Previously, she was the leader of the special task force in Guiling City, and these important figures thought she was insignificant. Now, however, they were all taking the initiative to chat with her. This felt very strange.

What gave her an even bigger headache was that Zhang Yunxiao eventually called her personally, with only one purpose: to find a way to bring Zhong Jiu into the Special Operations Department.

With the strength that Zhong Jiu has shown so far, he is definitely a big shot in his own right. If he could join the Special Operations Department, it would be a huge help!

"You want me to beg him?"

Zhong Yingmei sighed, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

This was the first time in her life that she had to ask her brother for help.

This matter was considered a top priority, so Chung Ying-mei had no choice but to put aside all her work and buy a bunch of vegetables, fruits, and meat to take home.
