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

The news of Li Muyang, the banner master of the Enforcement Hall, being arrested and thrown into prison, unsurprisingly, caused a huge uproar in Tianjiao City.

Countless people cheered, and some even went to the streets to set off firecrackers in celebration.

Many inns and shops in Tianjiao City, even hung red cloths and offered discounts to celebrate the event.

The entire city was filled with joy as if Li Muyang, this extremely cruel and evil official, being caught and imprisoned was a celebration for everyone under the heavens.

Shen Miao conveyed the outside world's state of affairs to Li Muyang through the perspective of her elder sister.

The young girl was quite angry.

"These brainless fools! My brother-in-law is not a bad person at all!"

As the seal loosened, the girl's emotions became increasingly realistic.

The shackles her father had placed on her were gradually losing their effect.

Shen Miao now experienced emotions beyond just happiness and joy.

She felt both angry and wronged by the scene outside.

However, Li Muyang just laughed and shook his head, "It's nothing but a false image created by those rat-like people, bribing a few inn and shopkeepers to hold celebratory events, and spreading rumors to guide others into imitation, fabricating the illusion that I am a massive criminal with boiling public outrage."

These tactics of swaying public opinion were something he had seen countless times on the internet in his previous life.

Most people in the world are conformist and blind.

The joy of so many people in the city over Li Muyang's imprisonment does not mean they truly hate Li Muyang.

It's like that classic saying from the adults, the common folk do not care who gets beheaded; they are happy no matter who it is.

Li Muyang was completely indifferent to these reports, in fact, the bigger the commotion outside, the more he enjoyed it.

After Shen Yan left that day, she had been investigating and running around the city, trying to clarify the clues behind the event and root out the people who framed Li Muyang.

Li Muyang's incarceration was a minor incident within the Blood Lotus Sect.

The aftermath triggered by Li Muyang's imprisonment would turn into a massive torrent that would sweep across the entire Blood Lotus Sect.

Concerning this, Li Muyang, who was already incarcerated, sat calmly like an angler, quietly watching the drama unfold.

He played games in his cell, trying to break through the angles of the Four Symbols Great Array with Shen Miao, paying no heed to the storm outside.

The Vermilion Bird flag of the south, which he presided over, wielded a Heavenly Fire that was more troublesome than the Azure Dragon's Heavenly Lightning.

Li Muyang and Shen Miao had been trying to conquer it for three days but kept failing, not even making it into the Second Phase of Vermilion Bird.

With the same combat system as Azure Dragon, once the energy bar of [Heavenly Fire] was full, Li Muyang and Shen Miao would be forced out of the secret realm and deemed to have failed.

In the game, Li Muyang continually failed and tried again, and during the process of strategizing the game, he played and wandered with Little Wild Grass, continuing to complete daily tasks.

Meanwhile, in Tianjiao City, the disturbance caused by Li Muyang's imprisonment gradually came to the forefront with Shen Yan's actions.

After Li Muyang was imprisoned, all the disciples under the Yellow Banner of the Enforcement Hall were successively jailed and put under investigation.

Li Muyang's most loyal followers, led by Bu Hongsheng and Liu Fu, were detained and interrogated for a long time in prison.

It was not until Shen Yan stepped in that these detained disciples of the Enforcement Hall were rescued one after another.

Following the names given by Li Muyang, as Shen Yan rescued these disciples, she also investigated for the traitor among them.

However, once the traitor within the Enforcement Hall was identified, it became difficult to keep investigating along those lines.

The number of big figures involved in the Blood Lotus Sect at this time was greater than imagined.

It was uncertain whether Xie Shanhai's Liehai Hall and Nangong Ting's Divine Flame Hall were involved, Liu Churen of Jade Wave Hall and Liu Hucheng of Lotus Heart Hall were also suspected participants, and these were just the ones identified so far…

The Blood Lotus Sect's four major incense halls and seven branch bunkers, nearly half of the bunker masters and hall masters were involved in this matter.

When Li Muyang heard this news, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

It seemed that Fang Yingtian's dominance had made these bunker masters and hall masters, who had grown accustomed to being local emperors, all somewhat discontented.

When Shen Yan came to see Li Muyang again and recounted the current situation and the progress of the investigation, Li Muyang smiled and advised her.

"Why not let it go? If you continue to investigate, I really fear for your safety from assassination..."

Although Shen Yan had high prestige within the sect, half of that came from her father, and the other half from her ability to devise strategies and anticipate the enemy.

With the support of Sect Hierarch Fang Yingtian and various other factors, Shen Yan's status within the Blood Lotus Sect was extraordinary.

However, despite her extraordinary status, she had no real position.

In the past, no one dared to confront her or felt the need to do so, and they were willing to listen to her.

But now it was different.

Now that Shen Yan wanted to catch and execute those who were disobedient, the two sides stood opposed to each other, and who knew what that bunch of rat-like scum would do.

Li Muyang was smiling as he advised her, but Shen Yan just shook her head.

"If I retreat and show fear here, how can our sect's teachings be spread far and wide?"

Shen Yan said, "The Sect Hierarch is right, the more rampant these dregs become, the more we need to eliminate them. If we let these dregs run riot, then in the future, even if the Blood Lotus Sect dominates one side, it will only become another Refinement Demon Sect."

Shen Yan's eyes were firm.

Within the Blood Lotus Sect, there were not a few who truly believed in the sect's teachings, and Shen Yan was one of them.

She genuinely strove for her belief in exterminating all cultivators under the heavens and returning the world to ordinariness.

Seeing that his persuasion was futile, Li Muyang did not try to persuade her further.

He was not an idealist, but seeing someone like Shen Yan who possessed a pure belief and struggled for it, he couldn't help but respect her.

However, Li Muyang, locked in the great prison, couldn't really help Shen Yan.

The only thing he could do was, during breaks from playing games, make more use of Shen Miao's third-person point of view to ask and observe Shen Yan's situation and provide strategic eye support.

Under Shen Yan's strategies and investigations, those who framed Li Muyang were gradually coming to light.

Aside from those from the lower ranks, Shen Yan also got ironclad proof of a few flag bearers' involvement in this matter.

These investigations and confrontations inevitably brought about strife and killing.

As Li Muyang was imprisoned and the Enforcement Hall's activities subsided, Tianjiao City, which seemed to have calmed down on the surface, was secretly experiencing one struggle and killing after another.

The number of souls in the four-square cauldron increased by several dozens.

Although the number was small, they were all the backbone forces of the Blood Lotus Sect, indicating how bloody the external struggle was.

Shen Miao looked worriedly at her sister's strenuous efforts outside, "Brother-in-law, can't you really help? I feel like my sister is in so much danger..."

But Li Muyang was unperturbed, "What's there to fear? At worst, it'll just be a death. Followers of the Blood Lotus Sect aren't afraid of dying, you can always come back to life anyway."

These followers of the Blood Lotus Sect, having been resurrected from death many times, were thus fearless, which caused great trouble for Shen Yan's investigation.

Accordingly, it wouldn't matter if Shen Yan died a few times either.

If that bunch of lunatics really tried to kill Shen Yan, it would be futile; it would instead give others leverage against them and might completely enrage Fang Yingtian.

Perhaps Fang Yingtian was just waiting for those scum to kill his niece, then he would seize the opportunity to strike.
