Chapter 89: Demonic Cult Rogue: Taste My Righteous Iron Fist!
（A segment of plot content was deleted; they specifically do not allow it to be written. Make do with this. The next chapter will end this plot and we will not touch it again!）
……
A farce came to an end with the Left Path “Barking Immortal Guest” suffering heavy injuries, head broken and bleeding.
Chen Han looked at You Cai, who had run to his feet, and praised him with a smile. “Well done.”
He had not expected this little earth dog’s openly lying-down move just now.
His acting still needed improvement though. At least stagger a couple of steps before you lie down.
Woof woof!
Being praised, You Cai barked twice with a toothy grin, seemingly full of pride.
That expression was really not one an ordinary dog could make.
Chen Han picked up the beast taming flute again, played the dominance notes, and completed the final step of the Lion Head Goose performance, leading them back to the Spirit Beast Hall.
Now that the dog demon tribe had submitted, there was no way to send out the Mysterious Frost Lion Head Geese, so this daily morning Lion Head Goose show also had to be paused. The sudden cut-off of cultivation resources was truly a bit troubling.
When he returned to Uncle’s Kitchen, the dog demon meat medicinal cuisine was becoming more and more rich, but unfortunately the warehouse’s supply of dog demon meat would only last for two more days of medicinal dishes.
When it was time, after adding water to the medicinal cuisine, Chen Han also took out his mobile phone and began editing the video from yesterday of the white-furred silly dog demon general calling for help, defeating the demonic cult rogues, and subduing the dog demon tribe.
While editing, he also specifically watched the footage of Uncle and Uncle Dagou taking down the dog thieves. It was really crisp and clean, especially those strikes to the faces of a few dog thieves, very much in line with the characteristics of Taiyi Long Fist.
Or rather, many martial arts have moves specialized in attacking the face, especially those tempered in bloodshed during chaotic times.
In more scientific terms, facial nerves and organs are densely packed, so it is easy to cause effective strikes, such as to the eyes, nose, mouth, and other important organs. Hitting the nose can lead to bleeding and difficulty breathing; the eyes affect vision. All of these can quickly weaken the opponent’s combat strength.
In a fight to the death, once you take a solid hit there, you basically fall completely into disadvantage; the weaker ones go straight down.
However, Uncle and Uncle Dagou were really ruthless. A punch into the dog thief’s face left half of it swollen.
These were the essence highlights of the video. After uploading, the Chen Clan would probably have one more martial arts inheritance to present to the public.
Just say that this crisp, clean Taiyi Long Fist used by the Hall Elder and clan experts to solve demonic cult rogues, is that not martial arts?
Watching the video, Chen Han itched to try it himself. He put down his phone and went through a set of Taiyi Long Fist.
His punches were very fast, his momentum strong, and his power clearly surpassed that of Uncle and Uncle Dagou in the video.
After all, he cultivated the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture basic qi cultivation method》. The nourishment and strengthening of true qi on his body meant that even though his lung disease was not fully cured, he was still stronger than the two uncles.
After testing the fist techniques, Chen Han continued editing the video. Next was the footage of the dog demons coming to challenge him one-on-one, then immediately admitting defeat, and the shot where You Cai was caught and fawningly licked his hand, which definitely needed a close-up.
Look at this so-called dog demon king. His strength was not much, but his ability to seek attention by making accusations and set things up was top tier.
After finishing the edit, Chen Han did not rush to upload it. After all, the current video’s like growth trend was still pretty good.
By noon, Xiao Mi and junior sister were called over, along with Uncle Shuisheng and Uncle Dagou, to eat medicinal cuisine together.
Thinking of serious matters, Chen Han asked junior sister, “Junior sister, you often order hanfu. Are there any that accept custom private orders?”
“Senior brother, you want to order hanfu? What kind do you want? I can help you check.” Xiao Yu immediately perked up, face full of smiles. “Senior brother, you look really handsome in hanfu. You should wear it more often.”
Hearing this, Xiao Mi also agreed. “Yes. The Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, and Lin Yueru video is almost at two million likes. Many people say Li Xiaoyao is very handsome. Among national style bloggers now, not a single man can compare.”
Seeing how excited they were, Chen Han started to suspect they were setting him up, wanting to praise him until his nose turned up.
He quickly said, “I’m planning to customize outfits for the dogs. Today I noticed those dogs wandering around in groups nearby. I was thinking, if we put them all in uniform ancient costumes, best if it’s armor-style, then match it with phrases like ‘Chen Clan guardian spirit dogs’ and ‘the patriarch sent me to patrol the mountain’. That fits their dog demon tribe identity better, and might be very eye-catching.”
Hearing this, Chen Lin said in surprise, “This morning when I confirmed the market location with the village chief, I also saw those doggies wandering in groups. I didn’t think much of it then. Now that I hear Xiao Han, it really does look like patrols. Guide the promotion a bit and it will definitely be interesting.”
If even a rough man could understand the idea, there was no way Xiao Yu and Xiao Mi, who played around online, would miss it. They immediately got excited too.
Xiao Yu said at once, “Senior brother, you’re so smart to think of this idea. In Qingmin City there is an ancient style studio that accepts this kind of business. I’ll place an order with them in a bit.”
“Mm, I’ll leave this to you,” Chen Han nodded.
After finishing the medicinal cuisine, Xiao Yu turned to ask Xiao Mi, “Sister Xiao Mi, can we post our second video now?”
Sister Xiao Mi had already agreed on a time with the National Style Awards organizers: upload a video with the National Style Awards in the title, and then the National Style Awards side would help promote the Chen Clan National Style Event.
With the National Style Awards helping promote, the Chen Clan ancient costume event would definitely attract many ancient costume enthusiasts and tourists, making the Chen Clan famous in one go.
Checking the time, Xiao Mi nodded. “It’s about time. We can upload.”
As she spoke, she picked up her phone and uploaded the Sedum, Xue Jian, and Long Kui video.
Title: Hope from now on, we will always be together!
This line was as heartbreaking as the “grow old eating and playing together” from Legend of Sword and Fairy
Because after Long Kui said this line, the torment began, and what she said could never be realized.
Having played on the internet for so long, Xiao Mi naturally knew how to pick a title. After that she also added the “National Style Awards” tag before uploading.
The earlier Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, and Lin Yueru video was close to two million likes and very hot. Now with this new video uploaded, also three people, same account, the video naturally inherited a lot of heat and immediately received push stream exposure.
Many people were surprised after seeing this video. The previous remake of Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Zhao Ling’er plus the Chen Family Head’s deeply moving 《Sword of Fate》 had left a deep impression, even making Liu Tianxian repost the video.
Now with this newly uploaded video, although the roles had changed to Sedum, Xue Jian, and Long Kui, with the Chen Family Head playing 《Love for Generations》, it was actually not inferior to the previous one at all.
When the flute sound started, it gave people goosebumps, instantly deeply moving them, as if they were inside the video.
“Is brother safe? Please tell me, Sister Xue Jian!”
“Weren’t you very arrogant before? Now when you need something, you act weak. Hypocrite!”
“Long Kui would not dare. Sister Xue Jian is brother’s close friend. Long Kui will certainly respect you…”
Listening to that flute, countless lecherous fans felt as if they had become Sedum, looking at the demon sword formed from his sister, and at the deeply affectionate Xue Jian, yet as if when he reached out, everything turned into foam.
After watching, when the flute ended, everyone felt a moment of emptiness. They could only say the video was shot too well, and the Chen Family Head played the flute even better.
Even Chen Han himself was affected by the Dream Immortal +2 attribute after watching this video. During filming, Xiao Mi and junior sister had again been influenced, immersed in the roles of Xue Jian and Long Kui.
He opened the comment section of Xiao Mi’s video and saw a top-liked comment: “After watching Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling’er, and Lin Yueru, and now Sedum, Xue Jian, and Long Kui, have you noticed that the Chen Family Head, Xiao Mi, and Xiao Yu are kind of like these two trios? One is the junior sister, and one is like the confidante, right?”
Chen Han only wanted to say that today’s netizens could link anything together.
The key thing was that the fates of those two couples were not auspicious.
In the comments, he also saw many people tagging Yang Mi, Hu Ge, and Liu Sisi. Obviously, because Liu Tianxian had reposted the previous video, these people had come to join the fun.
And since the video was hot enough, it might really attract the real stars.
Hu Ge and Liu Sisi did not have Douyin accounts and could not see it. Yang Mi used Douyin, and as a leading actress from Legend of Sword and Fairy, people were frantically tagging her. Her assistant reported immediately, “Boss, lots of people are tagging you to watch that Legend of Sword and Fairy remake video.”
Yang Mi was planning a new series at that moment. Hearing this, she said in confusion, “Didn’t Liu Tianxian repost that? I wasn’t in that one. Why tag me to watch?”
To be honest, since they had all acted in Legend of Sword and Fairy, the leading ladies had been constantly compared, which was annoying. So much time had passed, and they were in different lanes now, yet people were still bored enough to compare.
However, after Liu Tianxian reposted that video, Yang Mi had gone to watch it as well. She had to admit that although the video quality was not high, the filming was excellent and very moving.
The assistant quickly added, “Not that video. Those three internet celebrities have now shot a Sedum, Long Kui, and Xue Jian video, and it’s no worse than the first one.”
This caught Yang Mi’s interest. She picked up her phone to watch. As the video played, the familiar 《Love for Generations》 flute sound entered her ears, and for a moment she felt dazed.
Seeing the pavilion scene with Xue Jian and Long Kui speaking, she seemed to time travel back to that age. She even felt immersed in the video, as if she had become Xue Jian again, then soared away with Sedum on a sword.
When she finished watching, the video felt almost magical. She could not help giving it a like and commented, “This is really well shot, and the flute is played beautifully.”
Now she also understood why Liu Tianxian had reposted the first video. As former leads, they were deeply moved seeing this.
The key point was that this video was clearly going viral, which indirectly proved that the original series she had acted in was excellent. Now that others’ remakes still drew such heat, it also boosted her status and reputation.
With Yang Mi, the original Xue Jian, liking and commenting, the video’s popularity rose even higher, to everyone’s surprise. After all, the trio had made two videos, both of which drew in original leads; that was impressive.
Xiao Mi naturally found out first and happily told Chen Han and Xiao Yu, “Yang Mi actually liked our video and left a comment.”
“Really?” Xiao Yu rushed over to check, face full of joy.
This would undoubtedly bring them a lot of popularity.
Chen Han was not too surprised, because he knew the effect of the Dream Immortal +2 attribute. For original leads like Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian, the videos would resonate even more deeply.
Just as he was feeling emotional, he suddenly noticed many malicious comments in his Douyin backend:
“Beasts like you should die.”
“Hope you get cancer and die soon.”
“May your son be born without an anus. Dogs are so cute, and you still do this to them!”
“People like you should be drowned in a pig cage. You not only waste food but also waste air.”
“……”
“???” Chen Han was stunned and, opening the backend, was even more confused.
Was his account being mass-attacked?
And judging from it, it was clearly from a group of brainless extremist dog lovers. Real dog lovers would not curse so filthily.
At this moment, Xiao Mi frowned and said, “Chen Han, there are many abusive comments on my video too. They’re accusing you of abusing dogs and denouncing you!”
This sudden situation dampened everyone’s mood.
Chen Han instinctively guessed this had to do with that dog lover （Fang Fang）. He knew crossing paths with such a person was like eight lifetimes of bad luck.
After searching, he confirmed it. She had posted a video, still in the hospital, head wrapped in bandages.
“Family, I am so furious. This is the first time I’ve seen such an inhuman dog abuser…”
“I received reports from fans saying that the Chen Clan’s Chen Family Head abuses dogs and has long been filming dog abuse videos. So I went to check, and what I saw was shocking. Every dog there had been abused by that Chen Family Head, many were injured.”
“Also, these dogs all show stress reactions now. When people get close, they become violent and bite. I was injured from this too, but I do not blame the dogs. It is because they were abused. I call on everyone to expose this scum. He relies on dog abuse to attract tourists. Everyone must not travel to the Chen Clan…”
In the video, she also showed photos she took of those dogs, and tagged several people.
Chen Han had thought that after the lesson in the morning, she would keep her head down. He did not expect her to come out and disgust people again.
But thinking about it, a lunatic who stopped a dog transport truck on the highway was indeed unreasonable. The real question was why she had not been locked up.
“Senior brother, a dog lover here is posting a video denouncing you,” Xiao Yu said angrily. “Isn’t she just talking nonsense?”
“I have one here too,” Chen Lin said, also very upset.
Chen Han took their phones and checked. Indeed, the original video was by that dog lover （Fang Fang）, and judging by the blogger name, the ones they saw were the people she had tagged.
At this point Xiao Yu grew even angrier. “Senior brother, quite a few people refunded their tickets, saying our Chen Clan has no conscience and cursing us to die…”
“Do they really think they can slander people without paying a price?” Chen Han’s face darkened. He was about to call Li Rui, the criminal police captain, since that man knew the truth best.
Online slander, spread this widely, was enough for up to three years.
Almost at the same time, a task prompt suddenly appeared:
【The Left Path “Barking Immortal Guest,” whose power had been taken by the demonic cult rogues, was unwilling to accept defeat. After escaping, they actually began gathering other “Barking Immortal Guests,” slandering you for colluding with demonic cult rogues and misleading many uninformed righteous people, preparing to besiege and kill your Chen Clan family!
Please quickly expose the true face of this “Barking Immortal Guest” and resolve them with humanity!】
Seeing that the system had issued a task, Chen Han felt reassured.
Sending her in should count as resolving it, right?
Before he could dial Captain Li’s number, Chen Kai called.
He answered, but before he could speak, the other side said first, “Chen Family Head, I’ve seen what’s happening online. I’ve already learned the details. I will notify Captain Li’s side to handle this and issue an official notice as soon as possible to clear your name.”
Chen Han had not expected such a quick call.
Clearly, the other party really cared about and valued the Chen Clan’s development.
So he said, “Director Chen, for this kind of slander and defamation, if I sue from my side, I can have her put in prison for up to three years, right?”
Since it had triggered a system task, he could not waste the opportunity. He needed to secure the reward.
“Three years is not enough. She won’t escape five to ten years,” Chen Kai said directly. “She not only slandered you, the Chen Family Head, but also maliciously fabricated and spread rumors online about our Linhe County tourism development project. That is a serious disruption of social order.”
Chen Han had not expected it could reach that level.
But thinking about it, the county wanted to use the Chen Clan as a pivot to leverage tourism development for the whole county. They had already seen some initial results. It might have become the next Litang.
Now someone came to sabotage that. She was not just offending him.
If what she said were true, they would have to grit their teeth and bear it, just like when local authorities promoted an area for three years only for villagers to block roads and charge tolls, ruining the promotion.
If it is true, then tough luck; you stand at attention when being hit.
But if it is slander, then sorry, you will get to fully and deeply taste the iron fist of justice.
At this moment, the online buzz about the “Chen Clan and Chen Family Head abusing dogs to attract tourists” kept growing, even affecting Linhe County itself.
Most of these people did not know the situation. They saw a video, did not know the facts, felt their sense of justice boiling, and refused to let it go unvented, becoming knives in someone else’s hand.
At Linhe County Hospital, Liu Fangfang stared at the traffic numbers, grinning from ear to ear.
Especially the store’s product promotion sales. Many people came to support her dog-loving cause. In a short time, she had sold over 200,000 in dog food, leashes, and dog props.
Sure enough, only by daring to risk injury could she gain sympathy and resonance.
Previously, stopping the dog transport truck on the highway by risking her life for the dogs had brought huge traffic. Now being injured did the same. It seemed that in the future she should occasionally put on fake injury makeup.
While she was gleefully thinking, she suddenly noticed many people tagging her, along with lots of questions, doubts, and even curses.
“Fang Fang, can you tell me what’s this about you abusing dogs?”
“Holy crap, abusing dogs yourself and twisting truth into lies?”
“……”
“???” Liu Fangfang was confused. At this time, people should be following her to attack that Chen Family Head. Why were these voices suddenly off?
She immediately checked and saw a video posted by someone called Ming Di （Demonic Cult Rogue）.
The moment the man appeared in the video, she recognized him as that sickly dog lover she had met at the Chen Clan, who could not tell enemy from ally.
《I, this demonic cult rogue, originally planned to lurk around the Chen Clan again to find a way to break them, but I discovered that someone is attacking my brother, the dog demon king!》
“???” Liu Fangfang was dumbfounded when she saw this title.
What the hell?
But when she opened the video and watched its contents, her expression instantly changed.
