Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 523 - 467: The Power of Public Opinion

At this moment, the only survivor of the Yin Clan is Yin Haiping.

His hair and beard flew wildly, his eyes were full of madness, and he kept muttering, "No, how could I lose? Haha, I will kill you, kill you all."

Yin Haiping was already mad, at least it seemed that way on the surface.

However, Chu Chen had no intention of letting him go. Yin Haiping was as cunning as a fox; if he pretended to be mad and foolish, leaving him alive would definitely be a great calamity.

Such a person, even alive, is just wasting the Alliance’s grain.

Thinking of this, an astonishing killing intent burst forth in Chu Chen’s eyes as he looked at Yin Haiping.

He raised his hand and grabbed at Yin Haiping from a distance, using his Soul Power to form a giant hand that directly captured him.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Yin Haiping flipped his hand and took out dozens of specially made Starburst Bombs from the Spatial Ring, throwing them at Chu Chen.

Seeing this, Chu Chen’s expression changed dramatically. Just as he was about to dodge, Lei Yao directly raised his right fist and punched through the air.

"Boom boom boom"

The Starburst Bombs all exploded, shattering the Soul Power-formed giant hand.

Yin Haiping quickly fled madly in the direction of the Alliance.

Seeing this, Chu Chen snorted coldly, "Old dog, your acting is quite good, but today you will surely die."

Chu Chen raised his hand again to grab him. Yin Haiping, having exhausted his cards, was unable to resist and was caught by Chu Chen.

"No, you can’t kill me. I am an Elder of the Alliance. If you kill me, the Grand Elder won’t let you go."

"Hmph, I dared to come and kill you today, I was already prepared. You can go in peace."

At this moment, a loud shout came from afar.

"Chu Chen, stop."

Hearing this, Chu Chen’s eyebrows tightened instantly. The voice was too familiar to him; the person coming was Sun Wenshan.

Chu Chen clenched his right hand fiercely, directly crushing Yin Haiping into a pulp.

As Sun Wenshan’s furious voice came again.

"Chu Chen, you seek death."

A moment later, Sun Wenshan arrived above the Yin Mansion, coldly glaring at Chu Chen and said in a deep voice, "Chu Chen, you have great courage, daring to slaughter innocent civilians and kill both the Divine Son and an Elder of the Alliance. Do you plead guilty?"

Sun Wenshan’s anger was not an act. He initially thought that Chu Chen’s slaying of Yin Junzhe was already the limit, but he never expected that Chu Chen would even kill Yin Haiping.

After all, the latter was a formidable Emperor Level Fourth Rank expert, and part of his faction.

With Yin Haiping’s strength ranking in the top five of the entire Alliance, Chu Chen was cutting his flesh.

Now that Yin Haiping is dead, the status of his faction in the Alliance would significantly diminish.

Before Chu Chen could explain, Sun Wenshan couldn’t wait to make a move, grabbing at him from a distance.

Chu Chen had just gone through a fierce battle, and all the Guardian Beasts were in a weakened state, his Soul Power nearly depleted. He had no power to resist Sun Wenshan’s attack.

"Roar"

Lei Yao let out a furious roar, positioning himself in front of Chu Chen, raising his right fist and smashing it towards the giant hand formed by Soul Power.

Sun Wenshan was an absolute powerhouse of the Emperor Level Sixth Rank, and the Meditation Technique he cultivated was a Celestial Tier Upper Grade, making his Soul Power incredibly abundant.

The Soul Power giant hand slapped Lei Yao away effortlessly.

As the Soul Power giant hand was about to grab Chu Chen, a fist suddenly appeared behind him, formed entirely by condensed Soul Power.

One palm, one fist collided fiercely, the terrifying Soul Power fluctuations reverberating in mid-air.

"Boom boom boom"

Amidst a series of explosions, both the fist and palm formed by Soul Power shattered.

Sun Wenshan was instantly enraged when he saw this. He looked up to see who made the move, and his face darkened instantly upon recognizing the person.

Chu Chen quickly turned to look and found that it was Zhao Wudi who had arrived.

Seeing this, Chu Chen’s face filled with joy, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Lord Alliance Leader."

At these words, Zhao Wudi gave Chu Chen a glare, then quickly pulled him behind him.

Sun Wenshan’s tone turned icy as he questioned, "Zhao Wudi, what do you mean by this? Are you intending to shelter a criminal?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wudi snorted coldly, "Grand Elder, with all due respect, the people Chu Chen killed were all scum. I have all the evidence of their crimes here, would you like to take a look?"

"Hmph! Don’t try to argue. Even if you have evidence of the Yin Clan’s crimes, the fact that he killed Yin Junzhe and Yin Haiping stands. How do you explain that?"

Zhao Wudi’s expression didn’t change at all and he instead smiled, saying, "Chu Chen was live streaming the entire incident. Yin Junzhe was poisoning his own father, and the matter was admitted by himself. As for Elder Yin taking revenge for his son, Chu Chen had to defend himself and accidentally killed him. If you think about it, he did do wrong, how could he lose control and make such a mistake?"

When Sun Wenshan heard this, his face turned crimson, and he pointed at Chu Chen, coldly saying, "Hand him over, or don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Sun Wenshan furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, grabbing Li Wei from a distance and snatching the live streaming device from his hands, saying, "Hello everyone, I am Zhao Wudi, the Alliance Hierarch."

The livestream audience instantly erupted in excitement; this was the true leader of the Alliance, the real big boss.

The bullet comments quickly flooded in.

"Hello, big boss"

"Greetings, Lord Alliance Leader"

...

The bullet comments uniformly scrolled with similar greetings.

Seeing this, Sun Wenshan’s expression turned extremely ugly, as the opponent was using public opinion to pressure him.

Zhao Wudi waved at the live streaming device and said, "Everyone can bear witness to the actions just performed by Chu Chen. This was a trial task assigned to him by the Alliance, but his actions were indeed excessive. The Alliance will certainly punish him. I will livestream the Elder Council’s punishment meeting, so please be sure to watch."

The livestream erupted once more.

"Wow, can we actually watch such a meeting? I’m really looking forward to it now."

"Exactly, seeing all the top brass of the Alliance in action will truly be unprecedented."

"Lord Alliance Leader, when will the livestream begin?"

...

"The livestream will begin tomorrow at nine o’clock. I hope everyone tunes in on time. The Alliance will provide a satisfactory explanation to everyone, and I believe the Elder Council will acknowledge this matter." With that, Zhao Wudi turned the livestream device toward Sun Wenshan.

Sun Wenshan’s previously dark face instantly showed a faint smile, then he stood with his hands behind his back, putting on a mysterious demeanor.

"Rest assured, everyone. Our Alliance is united, and we will definitely deliver a fair and just verdict tomorrow."

Chu Chen almost burst out laughing watching their performance.

Both of them were smart individuals, knowing that they needed to establish a positive image in front of the public.

Their current positions weren’t solely granted by personal strength; they were largely sustained by public power.

If they lost public trust, then the Alliance would lose its reason to exist.

The consequences of that would not be something either of them could bear.

Sun Wenshan’s move was extremely clever. In terms of strength, he was slightly weaker than Zhao Wudi, and if it came to a fight, he’d struggle to protect Chu Chen. But by leveraging public opinion, Zhao could only be led by the nose by him.
