Gong Chengming showed no signs of backing down just because Jiang Sanhe temporarily gained control of the Fire-breathing Zombie. He tightened his grip on Liao Youzhi's arm, firmly controlling him, and spoke loudly, "Everyone listen up. What do you think the purpose of today's operation is? Is it to punish Celestial Horse Island for attracting zombies to Qin City? You're wrong!"
"The whole matter isn't as Liao Youzhi said, about repeatedly luring zombies to Qin City. It's all a play he wrote and performed himself!"
As his voice fell, there was a brief silence, followed by an uproar.
"This... was this done by Leader Liao himself?"
"Damn, is he deliberately framing Celestial Horse Island?"
"Anyone can see that with their knees; obviously, he wants an excuse to expand northward!"
"You're talking nonsense..."
