The next quarterfinals match was between Juan Canyun and a high-scoring casual player called "Brocade Hidden Blade." Juan Canyun won with a dominating advantage, having half his health left.
But after winning this match, Juan Canyun found himself caught in a vexing public opinion vortex: the entire net was denouncing the Lady of Calamity.
There was actually nothing wrong with the Lady of Calamity fighting Fureya, but the video playback made it look like a massacre of Fureya.
This provoked the players who had crowdfunded ladder points for Fureya into a state of revolt—there's no saint who doesn't like Fureya, and if there is... they surely haven't reached max level!
The collective revolt of the saint players also stirred up the pace on Weibo and various player communities. Aside from denouncing the Lady of Calamity, they also planned to gather a mob and cause trouble in the Pirate City, home of the plane pirates.
