Chapter 12554
All attention instantly shifted from Lin Yi back to Emperor Saint himself!
After all, seeing is believing.
No matter how many conspiracy theories are presented, to the vast majority of ordinary people, none are as convincing as this on-site photograph.
Shen Mo immediately panicked.
He never expected that the other party would have such solid evidence in their hands.
The greater the public opinion he stirred up before, the more ferocious the backlash will be now.
The most critical issue is that if he doesn't handle this matter properly, it will leave an absolute stain on Emperor Sheng's reputation.
As an illegitimate child, his situation within the Imperial Saint lineage was already awkward.
Although Emperor Sheng gave him some resources and put him in control of these media outlets, in essence, just like Emperor Qingfan and his core members, he did not really take him seriously.
"This child is not a good person."
This is the evaluation given by Emperor Sheng himself.
Shen Mo has always held a grudge about this.
He can try every possible way to comfort himself from various angles.
But no matter how much he deceives himself, there is one thing he can never get around.
He is not a sex emperor; his surname is Shen.
If Emperor Sheng truly acknowledged him, he should be called Emperor Mo today, not Shen Mo.
This public opinion crisis was the opportunity he had longed for to prove himself.
As long as he can keep a close eye on the old monster and clear Emperor Saint's name, his father, Emperor Saint, who has always been high and mighty, will definitely look at him with more respect.
Everything was originally under his control.
Who could have imagined that things would suddenly take such a sharp turn for the worse!
As Lin Yi had expected, Shen Mo's strategy was exactly what he had come up with: to mobilize all the media outlets under his command to constantly confuse the public and try to shift the focus back to ending the old monster.
Unfortunately, the effect was very limited.
The power of this photo taken at Yunding Mountain Resort far exceeded his expectations.
"Useless! Every single one of them is useless!"
Shen Mo was so angry that he started cursing.
Before him stood a group of voices belonging to the Emperor Saint lineage.
Everyone lay prostrate on the ground, utterly silent.
In the eyes of the people of Tianjun, these people were all passionate and outspoken, opinion leaders with clear stances and independent judgment.
But in front of Shen Mo, they were nothing but dogs.
Not only do they eat the dog food provided by Shen Mo, but Shen Mo can also stew them into soup whenever they are no longer needed.
Then again, if they are dogs, isn't Shen Mo himself just as much?
If this incident is not handled properly, Shen Mo's fate will likely be a hundred times more miserable than theirs!
"A day! No, half a day!"
"I'm giving you half a day; you must come up with a solution!"
"I don't want anyone to talk about that bullshit photo from the scene anymore, do you all understand?"
Shen Mo's voice was hoarse as he stared at the crowd like a lone wolf.
The leader of the group said, forcing himself to speak, "Young master, why don't we just send someone to destroy the photos of the scene? That way, there will be no way to prove anything, and we can just say that it was all a rumor fabricated by Old Monster Termination."
Shen Mo looked at him coldly: "Since they dared to bring it out, they must be confident that you can't destroy it!"
"Do you really think everyone else is as stupid as you?"
"Do you believe it or not, they've already set a trap, just waiting for you to walk right into it?"
"And another thing, didn't you bunch of idiots ever consider that photos taken on-site can be copied?"
"How could someone possibly only have one copy of something so important?"
"I'm asking you guys to pull your brains out of between your toes and use them for a moment, okay?"
Shen Mo's tone was playful, but his voice grew increasingly calm.
Everyone quickly buried their heads in the ground. Based on their understanding of this illegitimate son of the Emperor Saint, this was a sign that an explosion was about to occur.
If things go wrong, one of them might die on the spot.
Just then, a gentle voice suddenly cut in.
"Brother Shen, you must be in trouble with such a temper."
Everyone looked at the sound.
Upon seeing the person's appearance clearly, their pupils constricted in unison.
"Mei Zhixue?"
Shen Mo's expression also changed: "What brings Brother Mei here?"
The other party was a core disciple of the Supreme Emperor, while he was the illegitimate son of the Emperor Saint. Given the relationship between their respective powers, private contact was a major taboo.
Especially for someone with such an awkward position, if someone were to pin a label on him, accusing him of secretly colluding with the Supreme Emperor.
If this gets back to Emperor Sheng himself, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Currently, Emperor Jiyi and the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Clan are keeping to themselves, but let's not forget that they actually fought a bloody battle back then.
Both sides have paid a heavy price.
The current situation is not a genuine reconciliation, but rather each side licking their wounds.
Once the opportunity arises, they might start fighting again.
Shen Mo appeared amiable, but was inwardly extremely wary.
Mei Zhixue said with a smile, "Brother Shen, there's no need to be nervous. I came here today specifically to help you calm down."
Shen Mo feigned confusion: "Brother Mei, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
Mei Zhixue smiled and then got straight to the point.
“I can prove that the photo taken at the scene is fake.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
A hint of joy immediately flashed in Shen Mo's eyes: "Fake? A photo taken on site can be faked?"
The ability to fake the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting is already commonplace.
However, the on-site photos were taken using a special array to capture the images of the scene. How could such a thing be faked?
Mei Zhixue smiled and said, "It's like being in a completely different field. Brother Shen, you're not an expert in this area, so it's normal that you don't understand these things."
"I can tell you very clearly that it is indeed possible to fake a photo taken at the scene."
"And I will."
He then casually posted a commemorative photo.
It was the same scene at Fengbo Pavilion when the track arrived earlier.
The main subject of the image is Shen Mo himself.
However, in this photo, Shen Mo was not knocked away by the attack. Instead, like Lin Yi, he successfully avoided the wooden imp's fatal blow and won the race reward.
Shen Mo was stunned on the spot.
The rest of the media outlets were also greatly surprised.
These people are all quite knowledgeable, but this is something they've never seen before.
Shen Mo's expression suddenly changed: "Brother Mei, you have such amazing skills. Could it be that the fake on-site photo was also your doing?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
Since on-site photos can be faked, the widely circulated photo of Emperor Sheng taking action must also be fake, and it has to be fake!
Mei Zhixue smiled upon hearing this: "Brother Shen is indeed a smart man; he understands things immediately."
"However, your statement alone is far from enough to prove that the photo taken at the scene is fake."
Shen Mo fell silent.
He knew very well that whether the photo taken at the scene was real or fake was not important.
