My Arms Can Turn into Blades

At the end of the discussion.

Let’s not talk about whether others believe it or not.

Almost all the involved parties believed it.

Moreover, the related comments became more frequent.

In the end, this thread was pushed to the first page, appearing right under the pinned post.

This led to more and more people joining the discussion.

"I thought the new Celestial Strategy leader of the Third Battalion was formidable... Turns out it’s just some dirty tactics."

"Celestial Strategy Mansion won, but was it worth it?"

"Haha, it’s just a path to self-destruction! Celestial Strategy Mansion is doomed!"

"You guys... just stop daydreaming."

As the situation worsened.

Suddenly, a new reply popped up.

This directly halted the flurry of replies.

Instantly, everything stopped.

Because the reply wasn’t from an ordinary person... but from that information broker who had previously revealed the news of Xia Yue’s death in battle.

Regardless of whether people on the black market forum respect these brokers, they have to admit that the information they acquire is indeed more accurate.

And for an info broker to suddenly say something like this...

"What... does this mean?"

After a long while.

Finally, someone replied with a question.

"I’m saying, stop daydreaming, bunch of idiots."

The black market broker replied unreservedly: "I know what you’re thinking, but don’t forget, after the news of Celestial Strategy Mansion’s prosecution of the Holy Coffin Knight broke out, all info brokers focused on Celestial Strategy Mansion. Now that the outcome is clear, have you not noticed that not a single broker has stepped forward?

Even ’Obvious’—who loves the limelight—chose to remain silent. Do you think that’s a coincidence? Do you think that’s possible?

It’s just that everyone is unwilling to speak, afraid to speak!

I’m not hiding anything from you; I’m a citizen, but I don’t belong to Celestial Strategy Mansion, nor to the Old Era. I’m just a businessman, an ordinary person making money off superpowers.

I didn’t want to get involved, but from a personal perspective... I highly admire Chen Tiance, so seeing you act like clowns here, guessing endlessly, really irritates me, so I had to say a few words."

Everyone: "..."

"Stop with your ridiculous speculations. Outside the prosecution court, hundreds of ordinary members of Celestial Strategy Mansion witnessed Wu Bin and the other Old Era High-level Empowerers provoke Celestial Strategy Mansion.

They were standing with the Roman Catholic Church, the one making big promises wasn’t Celestial Strategy Mansion, but Hecate, the head of Roman Catholic Church’s Eastern Affairs!

There were a total of eight Old Era High-level Empowerers, plus a Holy Coffin Knight, all opposing Celestial Strategy Mansion.

At the court, there were actually only three Celestial Strategy, Xiang Yi, and Tangyu Celestial Strategy, to ensure the prosecution went smoothly, stayed inside the court, barely showing up, while Ji Xin and the others were handling Karen Otting and Schneider crossing the border.

Yes.

The truth is simple... There were no cunning schemes, no dirty tricks, and no powerful Holy Relics.

Moreover, Chen Lusi Celestial Strategy alone... one against nine!

Yes.

The new Celestial Strategy leader of the Third Battalion, who someone thought was so formidable, stood alone at the courthouse, facing nine High-level Empowerers.

And almost all were defeated in seconds.

... One person! Defeated in seconds!

As for Hecate, Chen Tiance pinned her right in front of the courtroom door!

Do you think this is a disgraceful victory?

Ha, it’s truly laughable.

Oh.

You might not believe it, might question it, but it doesn’t matter, I won’t reply to you anymore, I just wanted to prove you wrong.

I think you’re a lot like that Hecate Knight who was pinned at the courtroom door.

She probably never believed she’d end up pinned at the courtroom door, even in death.

But whether she believes it or not, the fact remains— even if Xia Yue Celestial Strategy is gone, Celestial Strategy Mansion isn’t lacking in heroes who can turn the tide.

Those who think that without Xia Yue, Celestial Strategy Mansion is defenseless, stop deluding yourselves."

After posting this long reply, the broker indeed didn’t reply again, and vanished directly.

But his previous reply didn’t disappear, still hanging there.

Because of his reply.

The once fervently discussed thread, with replies surging, suddenly fell into silence, with no new responses appearing for a long time.

Utter silence.

Soon enough... new information emerged, but it wasn’t about Chen Lusi, it was about the Roman Catholic Church.

The Roman Catholic Church directly declared Chen Lusi heretical, and stated that Holy Coffin Knight Igri Saba wasn’t dead, but had gone to the Celestial Kingdom. Soon, he will represent the Celestial Kingdom to deliver judgment upon Chen Lusi!

Simultaneously, the Roman Catholic Church announced that their Pope would visit North America.

These two pieces of news, combined with what happened at Celestial Strategy Mansion, look very much like the Roman Church trying to save face and... clean up their mess.

Silence.

The black market forum fell silent once again.

Then.

The thread that once had a surge of replies, quite suddenly, saw the number of replies plummet, with recent replies disappearing fast.

Statements about paths to destruction, dirty tactics, and such, began to disappear rapidly.

In just a few minutes, the thread that originally had over a thousand replies was reduced to just a few dozen replies.

And then.

The entire thread vanished.

Not just this thread vanished, but the posts saying it’s impossible and expressing disbelief began disappearing quickly, too.

In the end.

Even the pinned post disappeared.

In an instant, the entire black market forum was like it was reset, with all Celestial Strategy Mansion related threads wiped clean.

Then.

Once the forum was cleaned, in less than half an hour.

A new thread popped up—[Celestial Strategy Mansion’s New Third Battalion Leader! Truly Remarkable!]

Just like that... as if nothing had happened.

It can only be said that fear is the source of reverence.
