Chapter 521: Please Watch the Regional Channel

~6 min read 1,173 words

Jin Zaiyou's whole body shivered, and incredulous terror flashed in his eyes.

Although the name of the faction he belongs to is not a secret, Cheng Shuili's ability to state his real name and his position within the faction so quickly makes the implication obvious.

Perhaps the entire Dong Da Qu is now under the surveillance of the Black Feather Intelligence System.

What each player said, did, and whom they met today was recorded in meticulous detail by Black Feather members from early on.

They immediately realized what difference there is now between Black Feather and the Ming dynasty's Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei supervised officials; now Black Feather uses this method to control factions of all sizes…

Could it be that Wu Ya intends to become emperor in the future?

Cheng Shuili's face turned serious as she named Jin Zaiyou and his position for a single purpose: intimidation.

It was not only to intimidate Jin Zaiyou, but also to intimidate other faction leaders who have taken benefits from Xi Da Qu and came to the meeting hoping to fish in troubled waters!

Cheng Shuili's gaze subtly swept over several leaders who Xinxue had mentioned as having received benefits, then landed on Jin Zaiyou.

He now lacked most of his confidence; meeting Cheng Shuili's stare, he felt only fear and could only rack his brain for something to say to save his life.

Cheng Shuili, however, gave him no further chance.

In front of everyone, Cheng Shuili gave Jin Zaiyou no face and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have another piece of information: the deputy leader Jin Zaiyou of Fushé Zhi Ya, as well as several other friends present today…"

Her gaze, like a solid ice blade, slowly swept across several specific areas of the audience.

The few people caught by her stare turned as pale as Jin Zaiyou in an instant, some even unable to stop trembling.

"Before the meeting began, and even earlier, we had already received gifts from certain factions of Xi Da Qu through various channels. Xi Da Qu's demand is simple: do everything possible to sabotage or delay the formation of the Dong Da Qu alliance."

"Empty words are no proof! Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, do you think being on top lets you say whatever you want? Spouting nonsense! Everyone, she can slander me today; she'll slander you the same way tomorrow!"

Jin Zaiyou seemed to clutch at the last straw of salvation, shouting hoarsely, yet he did not know…

Cheng Shuili was wrestling with how to produce the evidence.

Now that Jin Zaiyou shouted like that, isn't it just handing over the stepping stone?

But the system's translation is becoming increasingly cultured; Jin Zaiyou's mouth moved so fast, it was clear he wasn't speaking Chinese, yet the system managed to render so many idioms—truly impressive…

Cheng Shuili pulled her thoughts back and gave a faint smile on stage.

The aggressive lines on her face oddly softened a bit with that faint smile, adding a touch of enchantment, "Deputy Leader Jin is right; empty words are indeed improper. This evidence is better made public."

She raised her voice slightly, "Everyone, please watch the Regional Channel."

The audience's expressions changed; what does this mean, it's not enough to release it, it must be posted on the Regional Channel?! Wu Ya seems terrified that someone in Dong Da Qu might not know what Jin Zaiyou did, or what Fushé Zhi Ya did!

Moreover, once this evidence is released, no matter how Black Feather later deals with Jin Zaiyou and Fushé Zhi Ya, the latter will be deemed deserving of punishment.

They, Black Feather… have truly turned the Regional Channel into their own bulletin board, posting whatever they wish, exposing anyone's flaw at will.

That thought flashed through many minds, bringing a chill.

Many began to wonder, if they later do something, would it be handled the same way?

Not to mention losing their lives, they'd also be despised by Dong Da Qu players…

Black Feather truly employs ruthless tactics!

Cheng Shuili ignored the faint murmurs below, swiftly swiping her finger across the control panel at her side.

The next second, all participants, and even every player in Dong Da Qu who had opened the Regional Channel interface, simultaneously saw a Black Feather message pinned to the top.

The message had no title nor official document format; it consisted of… just an explosively vivid chat screenshot and a short audio clip at the bottom.

The format was rather interesting—who pins a message and attaches voice?

Out of curiosity, most people clicked the audio first; not listening was fine, but once they did, everyone's pupils began to tremble!

This… this…

Perhaps driven by a love of spectacle, or simply wanting to know the situation, they hurried to look at the picture.

The image showed only two IDs: one was Jin Zaiyou, the other the leader of Fushé Zhi Ya.

"Everyone, Xi Da Qu is upping the stakes again. The terms remain unchanged: as long as we can blow the matter wide open at the meeting and prevent Black Feather from stepping down."

Afterwards they will not only provide resources but also promise to arrange for us to join the Xi Da Qu alliance as special invitees, guaranteeing our safety in Dong Da Qu.

Although the regions are divided into east, west, south, and north, declarations of war ignore those boundaries; why should we hang ourselves on Black Feather's tree? Long Guo people have always been proud, and following them is truly humiliating."

The message's ID was followed by the leader's tag, clearly discussed in their faction channel.

Indeed… the handsome White Eagle knows how to play this shady game, and Cheng Shuili does too.

At this moment, among those seated, most faction channels had Black Feather members mixed in.

However, these people haven't even joined Black Feather; you can't trace them to Black Feather's head.

They were originally Xinxue's hired trolls; now a new batch cultivated by Ice‑American style public opinion controls them, so they have retired.

Xinxue is reluctant to let them go, and Cheng Shuili also feels it would be a pity to dissolve them like this.

Thus, an "intelligence web" spanning the major and minor factions across all four regions quietly unfolded.

These people do not partake in core affairs, and may not even be combat‑capable, but they excel at listening, recording, and are excellent messengers.

They are like invisible tentacles, gathering obscure fragmentary information to Xinxue's hands for her to consolidate.

Earlier Ailin went out to fetch the information Xinxue needed.

Cheng Shuili originally planned to bring Ailin and Xinxue onto the stage, as the two—one scholarly, one martial—are truly the pillars of Black Feather.

But Xinxue's eyes were shrouded in darkness; those unaware might think Black Feather was squeezing labor, not letting her sleep.

Cheng Shuili felt it was inappropriate, so she let the brilliance rise.

And the screenshot doesn't end here; the real excitement lies elsewhere.

Below the leader's speech is the deputy leader Jin's statement.
