The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

"These are the sect documents I've gathered; please take a look,"

In the dim jail cell, Shen Yan held up an oil lamp and spoke softly.

Li Muyang took the thick stack of "incriminating evidence" she handed to him and raised an eyebrow, "These are my incriminating evidences? Is it proper for you to show these documents to me?"

Shen Yan sighed and said, "If we were to convict you, you would need to see these anyway."

"They record seventy-two accusations wherein you forced innocent people to confess, persecuted disciples, and abused torture."

"Look through them and tell me the details, so I can try to clear your grievances."

As Shen Yan spoke, Li Muyang scanned the incriminating evidences by the light of the oil lamp.

But the more he read, the more he shook his head.

"The evidences are detailed and ironclad..."

After quickly scanning the evidences, Li Muyang looked at Shen Yan in front of him and said, "I have nothing to contend, just from these evidences, I evidently have violated the sect rules and persecuted our own followers."

The group in the Blood Lotus Sect that had set up Li Muyang had obviously prepared thoroughly.

All the evidences were detailed and substantiated; Li Muyang could not find any flaws in them.

Each judgment document had been signed by Li Muyang himself.

Although Li Muyang had not coerced any confessions nor had he deliberately persecuted innocent people, from the evidences it appeared he had.

Shen Yan, upon hearing Li Muyang's response, fell slightly silent.

This exceptionally intelligent woman quickly realized the cause and consequence.

"... It must be that someone within the Enforcement Hall was bribed."

Shen Yan narrowed her eyes in thought, looking at Li Muyang, "Try to recall, the Enforcement Hall disciples involved in these cases, who were they?"

Now, to clear Li Muyang's false charges, the first step was to identify the person who had framed him behind the scenes.

However, Li Muyang just chuckled and shook his head, "You haven't yet said, if my incriminating evidences are confirmed, how will the Sect Hierarch deal with me..."

After pondering for a moment, Shen Yan said, "According to the sect rules, you won't be executed. For a leader of your stature within the followers, physical punishment comes first."

The higher the cultivation of the follower, the costlier it is to resurrect them after death.

Therefore, for the high-ranking individuals within the Blood Lotus Sect, physical punishment is primarily used.

Fang Yingtian would likely see this as a setup, he wouldn't rashly sentence Li Muyang to death.

But physical punishment is also fearsome.

Shen Yan added, "The Sect Hierarch said he won't pass judgment on you. He asked me to clarify this matter, capture all the schemers behind this, and then..."

Shen Yan's eyes grew cold, "Expel these individuals from the sect and eradicate them from the world!"

The gentle Shen Yan rarely showed such a chilling expression.

Li Muyang smiled, nodding in agreement, "These people are not only targeting me, but also the Sect Hierarch."

Fang Yingtian's reaction was consistent with what he knew of this Blood Lotus Sect Hierarch.

Cunning and manipulative, yet firm in handling matters, definitely not a fool easily led by the nose.

It wasn't personal grudges that made so many resent and scheme against him, Li Muyang.

These people hated Li Muyang, but also hated Fang Yingtian who enforced new sect rules.

In the past, the Blood Lotus Sect was scattered in various locations; each major branch acted independently, and the branch leaders were the bosses of their own territories, living very comfortably.

Now gathered under Fang Yingtian's consolidation, they had to follow orders from Fang Yingtian and Shen Yan, and felt uncomfortable being monitored by the newly established Enforcement Hall.

Those lawless branch leaders and their lieutenants and confidants were already harboring resentments.

Framing Li Muyang was also a form of protest against Fang Yingtian.

But Fang Yingtian was so tough that he planned to eliminate all those rebellious thorns in one fell swoop...

The Sect Hierarch of the Blood Lotus Sect could expel the disciples' blood oath souls from the Four Corners Cauldron, causing them to lose their ability to resurrect from death.

This time, to annihilate the thorns... to be honest, the Sect Hierarch Fang Yingtian was indeed tough.

This time by framing Li Muyang and targeting the Enforcement Hall, countless helmsmen and banner leaders might be involved.

If all these people were to be executed, it would likely shake the foundation of the sect.

But Shen Yan's gaze was cold.

"The Sect Hierarch said, 'To fend off external threats, one must first stabilize internally.' Now that our sect's cause has just begun, these characters start to tail wagging bigger than the dog, attempting to oppose us. If we don't eradicate them all, they will only cause greater disasters later,"

"If one wants to establish an unparalleled foundation, one must first clear the internal scum!"

The words relayed by Shen Yan made Li Muyang nod.

Good, the Blood Lotus Sect is about to get chaotic.

Believing he had a solid footing, Fang Yingtian started to centralize power and to move against those helmsmen and banner leaders who had grown overbearing and acted like kings; it was uncertain how many would die this time.

Li Muyang had little resentment towards those who framed him.

But if the Blood Lotus Sect became chaotic, it would be beneficial for his and Yan Xiaoru's actions.

After carefully thinking and giving Shen Yan several names, Shen Yan left with the papers.

She would take these names given by Li Muyang to investigate the matter of someone framing him.

And in the dark cell, with Shen Yan's departure, only Li Muyang remained.

Li Muyang leisurely returned to a corner, sat down, and closed his eyes.

"The Blood Lotus Sect is going to be in chaos..."

With Fang Yingtian being so tough, those rats were definitely not going to sit by passively.

As the Sect Hierarch of the Blood Lotus Sect and his subordinates fought each other, being negligent, Yan Xiaoru from the Refinement Demon Sect found an opportunity to sever the connection between the Four Corners Cauldron and the ley lines, allowing the Demon Sect to counterattack... how pleasant to the ears.

Now, the more chaotic the Blood Lotus Sect, the happier Li Muyang was.

He joyfully entered the game and saw Shen Miao, dressed in white, sitting on a faraway roof edge, her eyes wide with wonder as she obviously used her special perspective to watch what was happening in the human world at that moment.

Li Muyang called her twice, and Shen Miao finally snapped back to reality.

"Wow! Brother-in-law, these people's schemes and conspiracies are so complex!"

Seeing through the perspectives of Fang Yingtian and Shen Yan, Shen Miao must be aware that this situation involved more than just framing Li Muyang; there was also a deeper power struggle behind it.

For such a simple and optimistic girl, these power struggles among the big shots were too complicated and dangerous.

Li Muyang smiled and said, "The dirty adult world is just like this."

Compared to that, playing games is simpler.

At least, the monsters in games don't scheme and frame you; if you can beat them, you win; if you can't, you lose.

"Let's go, let's continue challenging the Vermilion Bird."

The huge Praying Mantis swung its sharp knife-arms, beckoning the girl to come over.

Now that he had received definite news that he wouldn't be dealt with by the Sect Hierarch, Li Muyang felt safe staying in the cell playing games.

As for the storms outside, they had nothing to do with him.

He really disliked this genre of power struggle plays; the farther away, the better.

In the foggy ghost city, the huge Praying Mantis carried Shen Miao with a leap, crashing into the Vermilion Bird's secret realm.

Within the flaming maple forest, a massive Vermilion Bird cried out, its wings covering the sky and the sun as it approached; in an instant, the skyfire rained down like rain...
