[Supreme Immortal Sect - Outer Section - Grand Hall: Supreme Elder Jian's POV]
Just a couple of hours ago, Supreme Elder Jian had figured everything out.
He saw a path forward that, in a few hours, would secure him another run at carrying out his corruption ring that he had been running for the past 17 thousand years.

However, that all came crashing down when a sudden rumor, seemingly out of nowhere, started spreading.

Within an hour, almost everyone had heard and seen the circulating video. The name Kent Madson has reached every ear and every tongue that has said it.
