King of Assassins-Chapter 669 - 506 Wildness_2

Such matters are inherently simple. The media handles it with ease.
Thus, in just a few days, the infamous reputation of the First Demon Gao Xuan grew even louder.
This time, the impact was actually greater.
Because it involved the Domain of the Gods and the Augustus Clan.
Just the billions of citizens in the Domain of the Gods sparked heated discussions.
Robin stood up publicly and said that all conspiracy theories about Gao Xuan were baseless rumors, all part of the Evil God's plot.
Robin couldn't control other star realms, but in his own, he had absolute authority.
The public's discussions, in the end, cannot change anything.
The powerful organizational system of Augustus also quickly took effect, swiftly achieving consensus from top to bottom.
As for the noise from the Outer Star Realm, it was simple; just add a screening mechanism at the entrance of the Celestial Net.
Once the chaotic public opinion was filtered out, the citizens of the Domain of the Gods quickly calmed down.
For ordinary citizens, life was almost unaffected. With the removal of many Evil God's believers, employment opportunities actually increased. Furthermore, some public welfare benefits were enhanced.
For the public, the actual improvement in living standards was the real benefit.
What Evil God, what Gao Xuan, what Elder Council infighting, what Supreme Leader, how much does it really have to do with them?
Meanwhile, in other major star realms, the campaign against Gao Xuan intensified. His name and stories of his evil deeds were everywhere on media platforms.
The organizing committee of the Sword Dao League Finals announced they had revoked the honorific title of Sword King from Gao Xuan.
In the past three thousand years, this was the first time the Sword King honorific title was revoked.
The name Gao Xuan occupied the Celestial Net with the most intense heat, dominating major platforms.
Even in his hometown, the Twelve Star Domain, an unavoidable wave of opposition against Gao Xuan surged. Several women closely associated with Gao Xuan were terrified by the powerful media attacks.
Even Xiao Wan, someone as skilled as she is, found it hard to endure the overwhelming insults about Gao Xuan online.
The last time, when Gao Xuan was labeled as the First Demon in history, there was no real evidence.
Though the online abuse was lively, it did not have much substantial impact.
This time, the Augustus coup, with a complete reshuffle of the higher echelons, actually crossed the line for the major noble families.
The Black Banner Alliance was just a Pirate Alliance. If it was wiped out, so be it. No one would care too much.
But the Augustus lineage was the Golden Bloodline, a top noble family of the Central Star Realm. Could such a family be so easily overturned by Gao Xuan?
The Qin Family, Yuan Family, Jin Family, these Golden Families all felt intense unease and perceived a huge threat.
This time, all the noble families united together. They must first thoroughly crush Gao Xuan in terms of public opinion.
When all the Golden Families join hands, the energy is terrifying.
Even independent star realms like the Twelve Star Domain could not avoid being greatly affected.
Xiao Wan noticed that the public opinion in the Twelve Star Domain was turning upside down, so she immediately sought out her grandfather Xiao Jun.
"Grandfather, we can't let public opinion ferment anymore. If this continues, Gao Xuan will lose even his basic reputation. We will all be affected," she said urgently.
Xiao Jun hesitated, "All the noble families have sent me harsh warnings. If we continue to side with Gao Xuan, they'll unite to destroy the Xiao Family."
The Xiao Family is the overlord of the Twelve Star Domain and can certainly control public opinion. But Xiao Jun was unwilling to exert control.
The fierce reactions of the noble families worried him greatly.
Although Gao Xuan fears nothing, the Xiao Family is settled on Taurus. If even one Golden Powerhouse comes, the Xiao Family could be wiped out entirely.
In such a situation, even if Gao Xuan had infinite avatars, it would be hard to care for the Xiao Family.
Moreover, Xiao Jun knew Gao Xuan well. Gao Xuan was profoundly deep, and the Xiao Family probably didn't have much weight in Gao Xuan's heart, he feared.
If they staunchly supported Gao Xuan now, the Xiao Family would have no retreat.
Seeing her grandfather's hesitance, Xiao Wan became anxious too. "Grandfather, at this point, we have no other way."
She spoke loudly, "The other side hasn't destroyed us because they fear Gao Xuan's retaliation. Now that the Augustus lineage has been wiped out by Gao Xuan, they should be the fearful ones. As long as Gao Xuan is here, who dares to touch us?"
Xiao Jun asked in return, "What if something happens to Gao Xuan?"
Xiao Wan shook her head, "Grandfather, we are insignificant; we are in no position to be opportunists. Only by relying on Gao Xuan can we survive..."
These words shocked Xiao Jun profoundly.
He had lived so long and yet hadn't seen things as clearly as his granddaughter. Indeed, with the strength of the Xiao Family, they have no right to choose sides.
As soon as Gao Xuan falls, how could the noble families care about the Xiao Family? Not relying on Gao Xuan and thinking of being opportunistic would be too foolish.
Xiao Jun nodded, "I know what to do now."
An hour later, all the voices opposing Gao Xuan in the Twelve Star Domain disappeared. Several of the most vocal agitators suddenly vanished without a trace.
Sometimes, the costs of publicity are not so easily earned!
Gao Xuan, far away on the Eternal Star, also noticed the change in the public opinion trend of the Twelve Star Domain.
In fact, Gao Xuan rather enjoyed being criticized by others. It's impossible for one person to be liked and respected by everyone. It's actually easier to have the vast majority dislike and hate you.
For anyone else, it would be impossible to have so many Golden Families expend so much powerful energy to criticize you.
The energy required for this kind of public opinion promotion is astonishingly immense.
It was only the Alliance of many Golden Families that could achieve this.
In just over a dozen days, Gao Xuan had received a sea of spiritual energy. Compared to fame, these tangible rewards were far more important.
The only slight trouble was the revocation of the Sword King's title.
Luckily, he was prepared. With the Book of All-Knowing, everything proceeded smoothly as planned.
Gao Xuan had almost finished plundering the Domain of the Gods and had no interest in actually staying to manage the star realm.
Yet before leaving, he still had one thing to do.
The empty underground altar appeared extremely vast and dark due to the destruction of the Red Gold God Statue.
In front of Gao Xuan, there was only a fist-sized sphere of golden light, softly radiant.
For an underground altar of this size, this sphere of golden light was like the glow of a match. It only illuminated a three-foot area around Gao Xuan.
Beyond three feet, the golden light was swallowed entirely by the darkness.
Imperia followed Robin to Gao Xuan's side, naturally drawn by Gao Xuan's appearance.
Indeed, in this darkness, the light source would typically attract the most attention.
But under the golden light, Gao Xuan appeared perfect, like a deity. Especially with those deep, starry-sky-like eyes, full of mysterious charm.
Robin consciously exited the underground altar, leaving Imperia alone with Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan extended his hand to Imperia, "You are very beautiful."
Imperia extended her hand and shook hands with Gao Xuan, her bright eyes gazing at him, "In what way am I beautiful?"
"Like a blooming flower, exuding the beauty of life's force, brimming with a unique self-charm regardless of the wind, rain, or scorching sun. Just seeing you makes it worthwhile... "
"Your praise is very pleasing."
Imperia's lips broke into a radiant smile, "Then, was my father Marco, killed by you?"
"Yes."
Gao Xuan paused briefly and asked, "Will that affect our intimacy?"
"I want to bite you to death."
With a bit of savageness, Imperia charged forward and bit Gao Xuan's lip...
