Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

Old Master Ye's face immediately darkened: "The plot?"

Wang Jun was taken aback and quickly corrected himself: "It's video footage; more than seven thousand video clips have been blocked."

Old Master Ye didn't mind the slip of the tongue, but said coldly, "Do these people really think the spiritual disaster is just a spectacle?"

Wang Jun said in a deep voice, "The platform is cooperating, but we can't stop people from forwarding it privately, especially some so-called paranormal enthusiast groups, which are spreading it very quickly."

After a moment of silence, Elder Ye said, "Issue the third announcement."

Wang Jun looked at him.

Old Master Ye's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable chill: "Any dissemination of abnormal audio recordings from Kutuo Temple, malicious editing, or attempts to incite others to imitate explorers will be dealt with as endangering public safety."

"As for that streamer."

Wang Jun asked in a low voice, "Old Ye, what should we do?"

Old Ye glanced at the internet celebrity being taken away by the special operations team on the screen, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Treat him first and determine the level of contamination. Once he wakes up, open a case for investigation. He's not the first person to court death, but he must be among the last."

Wang Jun nodded: "Understood."

Elder Ye added, "Publicly announce, permanently ban the account, and hold those responsible for endangering public safety accountable. Let everyone know that spiritual disasters are not a code for gaining internet traffic, and that there will be consequences for trying to profit from this kind of traffic."

Wang Jun immediately replied, "Yes!"

……

Ninth Bureau Branch of Linjiang City.

The local internet celebrity was quickly brought back.

He lay in the isolation room, his face pale and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

The testing instrument continuously emitted soft beeping sounds.

A researcher looked at the screen and frowned, saying, "The mental fluctuations are abnormal, but the level of contamination isn't too high."

"It must have been interrupted before I was fully admitted to the temple."

Su Wan stood aside, coldly watching the internet celebrity in the isolation room.

She showed absolutely no sympathy for the other person.

Officials have repeatedly warned that the area around Kuta Monastery is under lockdown.

In the end, this person still secretly sneaked into the live stream in order to get more views.

That's not bravery, that's stupidity.

What's even more terrifying is that he not only threw his own life into danger, but also almost dragged the viewers in the live stream down with him.

I don't know how much time passed.

The internet celebrity has finally woken up.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was completely bewildered, then suddenly sat up.

"Where am I? I'm live streaming, where's my phone?"

Su Wan's face turned even colder upon hearing this.

She stepped outside the glass partition and said calmly, "You almost died."

The internet celebrity froze, then slowly recalled what had happened. His face turned pale instantly, and he said with a bitter expression, "I didn't mean to."

Su Wan looked at him coldly: "Not intentionally? Does that mean our blockade was fake, the official announcement was fake, and the disaster report from Kuto Temple was fake?"

The internet celebrity opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Su Wan continued, "Because of your live stream, 37 people have shown mild symptoms of mental pollution, 6 people have had nightmares, and gray incense ash has appeared at the door of 3 households."

Upon hearing this, the internet celebrity's face drained of all color.

"I really didn't know it would turn out like this."

Su Wan said in a deep voice, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean you have no responsibility."

The internet celebrity slumped on the hospital bed, her whole body trembling.

Just then, as if remembering something, his eyes turned frightened, and he said, "Officer, I really didn't mean to. This time, I not only dreamed of the ancient temple, but I also saw other strange things."

He tried everything he could to atone for his crime, so he told everyone he had seen.

Su Wan frowned: "What else did you see?"

The internet celebrity swallowed hard, her voice trembling: "I also saw snow-capped mountains, the sea, and a mountain range that was blood red."

"It seems like something in those places is about to break the seal."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan's expression instantly turned serious.

……

The headquarters of the Ninth Bureau in Beijing.

Soon, this statement was delivered to Elder Ye.

After reading it, Old Ye remained silent for a long time.

Wang Jun whispered, "Old Ye, could this just be a hallucination caused by the pollution?"

Old Master Ye said in a deep voice, "It may be an illusion, but Changbai Mountain, the East China Sea, and Chixia Ridge have indeed all shown abnormalities recently."

Three images were quickly displayed on the large screen in the conference room.

The first picture is of the border of Changbai Mountain.

A small village was covered in ice fog, with houses, trees, and livestock all frozen in place. This extreme degree of freezing suggested that an extraordinary event had occurred here.

The second picture is of the East China Sea port.

A large number of mutated fish rushed ashore, trying to escape the sea. In the distance, beneath the surface of the sea, a black tide was moving, and deep within the black tide, a huge shadow could be vaguely seen passing by.

The third image shows a giant red-scaled python coiled beside blood-soaked mud deep within another mountain, its eyes cold and its body radiating malevolent energy.

Looking at the three images, Elder Ye sighed and said, "After the second spiritual energy tide, many forbidden zones appeared all over the world. Behind these forbidden zones, there seems to be some kind of mysterious portal. We don't know which world they lead to. We don't have much time left."

Wang Jun's expression was grave: "What's our next step? What's our stance on the Qinglian Forbidden Zone?"

Elder Ye remained silent for a moment: "We don't need to worry about the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone for now. As long as it doesn't attack humans on its own initiative, we'll maintain the original agreement."

"Now, we must first defend humanity's own lines of defense."

……

Heilong Mountain.

The Flying Feather Team's base.

After Little Sparrow finished reporting on the internet celebrity incident, she was about to leave when Little Golden Treasure called her back.

"You noticed the anomaly and reported it promptly; that deserves a small commendation."

The little sparrow's eyes lit up immediately.

"real?"

Little Jinbao glanced at it: "If it keeps making noise, I'll cancel it."

The little sparrow immediately shut its beak, but its tail still couldn't help but twitch.

Not far away, the little wild boar heard these words and its eyes turned red.

"Can discovering stupid humans really be considered a meritorious act?"

The little fox said quietly, "The prerequisite is that you have to be able to fly."

The little wild boar looked down at its four legs and fell into deep thought: "Can I report the person who stole the spirit fruit?"

The little fox narrowed its eyes: "Who do you want to report?"

The little wild boar quietly pointed to a rabbit demon: "I saw it take two spirit fruits."

The next moment, the old tortoise slowly crawled over from the side and said, "That's what I had it deliver to the Young Demon Academy."

The little wild boar's body stiffened.

The Black Tiger King glanced at it from afar and said coldly, "Little wild boar, guard the spirit field for three days."

The little wild boar almost cried: "I just wanted to do something good!"

The little fox was trying so hard not to laugh that its tail was trembling.

In the center of Heilong Lake.

Chu Zhou sensed the commotion in Black Dragon Mountain but didn't pay it any mind.

Today, Black Dragon Mountain is increasingly resembling a true demon territory.

There are patrols, schools, a merit system, and also the little demons' own little schemes.

Just as Chu Zhou was pondering how to develop the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone next...

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he let out a surprised exclamation.

In his mind, he noticed that the area around the ape valley was visible.

This caused an anomaly.
