Chapter 328 Court
The Immortal Court, also known as the Prison Law Palace, is a giant pyramid building suspended in mid-air, with a black iron chain extending from each corner to connect to the ground.

At this time, a large group of independent cultivators gathered outside the gate of the Yufa Heavenly Palace. They were affiliated with news organizations such as the Jiuzhou Daily, Daozang Evening News, and Lingjing Times, and they all held mysterious mirrors for taking photos.

"Here he comes! Lord Xiaoshui is here!"

Someone shouted, and all the casual cultivators who were just chatting in twos and threes suddenly became energized and rushed forward together, with the mysterious cameras in their hands flashing non-stop.

Purple auspicious clouds descended from the sky, and Li Sheng and others surrounded Xiaoshui Star Lord and stepped onto the steps of the Prison Law Palace.

Compared to a few hours ago, Xiaoshui's image had changed slightly. He looked haggard and his eyes were tired. All the extra decorations on his head and hands had been removed.

"Xingjun, could you please tell me which party initiated this divorce?"

"Mr. Xiaoshui Xingjun, what do you think of the statement made by the lay Buddhist Miaoyin who published an article in the newspaper accusing you of being a scumbag?"

"It is generally believed that the division of property in this divorce involves the entire Xiaoshui Sect, which will cause the sect's status to plummet and fall out of the top ten in the human world. What do you think about this?"

The tabloid reporters kept asking questions, but Xiao Shui Xingjun, who had already been warned by the lawyers, said nothing, lowered his head, quickly climbed the stairs and walked into the pyramid.

The legal system of this world is closer to the continental legal system in the real world, with enacted law rather than past precedents as the main source of law, and there is no jury.

Deliberately making yourself look haggard, tired, and weak may more or less influence the judge's attitude.

As soon as everyone walked into the gate of the Prison Law Palace, the temperature around them suddenly dropped. Xiaoshui Star Lord suddenly raised his head and stared at the center of the hall.

In the center of the hall stood a beautiful woman in palace dress who looked to be around thirty years old. She also looked haggard, with smudged makeup at the corners of her eyes, as if she had just cried. She was Miaoyin, another party involved in this case.

Unlike the man, Miaoyin is surrounded by four lawyers, including Zhongtian Beiji and Howard, as well as a group of beautiful young ladies and girlfriends.

As soon as she saw Xiaoshui Xingjun, Miaoyin's lips trembled and tears could be seen in the corners of her eyes, as if she had suffered a great shock. Her girlfriends hurriedly asked about her well-being and took the opportunity to glance at Xiaoshui Xingjun fiercely.

"This bitch."

Xiaoshui was so angry that his scalp was numb, and his energy was rising and falling. Li Sheng quickly held his shoulders and said, "Don't be angry. Anger will reduce your wisdom. She just wants to see you look defeated like this.

Be patient and think about the happy things, such as passing the imperial examination, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, having a beautiful wedding night, and having rain after a long drought.

"It's not a flower candle, it's not a flower candle? What the hell is a flower profession, a ladybug, right?"

Zhang Wei couldn't help but complain: "And why did you emphasize the word Ganyu? It seems a bit like Keqing."

Xiaoshui didn't have time to pay attention to the two lawyers. He took a deep breath, kept his rationality, calmed down his emotions, and left.

The footsteps gradually faded away. Zhongtian Beiji looked at his opponent's receding back and exchanged a glance with Howard. Everything was self-evident.

This court mission is a sure win.

------

As the two groups of people entered the courtroom, the clerk stood up and announced the court rules. The judge checked the basic information of the parties and other participants in the lawsuit. After all the procedures were completed, the divorce case officially opened for trial. "Now we will start the court debate. The plaintiff's lawyer will speak first."

Zhongtian Beiji stood up with the materials in his hand and said calmly: "According to Article 1087 of the Xianting Civil Code, when a couple cannot reach an agreement on the division of common property during divorce, the Xianting Court shall make a judgment based on the specific circumstances of the property and in accordance with the principle of taking care of the rights and interests of the children, the woman and the innocent party.

Three months ago, Xiaoshui Xingjun and Miaoyin Jushi, who had been married for a hundred years, had an argument on the top of Yulian Mountain in Xiaoshui Sect. Xiaoshui Xingjun, who had reached the perfect stage of Dongxu, committed domestic violence against Miaoyin Jushi, who was also at a high level in Dongxu.

The latter suffered multiple injuries to his face and neck.

Most importantly, domestic violence has left an indelible psychological shadow on my client, damaging his state of mind and causing his cultivation to plummet to the fusion stage. This is evidence. "

After that, Zhongtian Beiji picked up a pile of information and displayed it in the air.

The information included photos of Miaoyin's injuries, the treatment records issued by Baihua Valley, and the testimony of disciples of the Xiaoshui Sect who witnessed the battle scene at the top of Yulian Mountain at the foot of the mountain that day.

"In summary,"

Zhongtian Beiji said loudly: "We demand that the defendant compensate for medical expenses, mental damages, cultivation loss, and 70% of the couple's common property, namely the spiritual stone veins, spiritual plants, elixirs, exercises, and spiritual beasts under the name of Xiaoshui Sect.

Considering that the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast that the two of them shared mysteriously disappeared some time ago, the last point can be discussed later."

The earliest Xiaoshui Sect was founded five hundred years ago. It was a small sect with only a few big and small cats.

By the time of Xiaoshui Xingjun's generation a hundred years ago, only he and a few younger ones in the Qi Refining Stage were left.

After meeting Miaoyin, the two of them found that their spiritual roots were very compatible, one was ice and thunder, the other was wind and fire, which complemented each other perfectly. After becoming Taoist partners, their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and they experienced a series of wonderful encounters.

Not only did he open up the secret treasures of his ancestors' caves, he also accidentally obtained innate elixirs, and he also discovered unowned spiritual stone veins in the wild. Only then did he bring the Xiaoshui Sect to its current height in just a hundred years.

In other words, apart from the signboard from five hundred years ago, the rest of the Xiaoshui Sect today is all the common property of the couple.

And this amount of money is an astronomical figure.

The clerk faithfully recorded the trial proceedings, while the presiding judge, with a bald head and white beard, sat behind a high table, looking calm and composed.

This chief judge is the most senior and authoritative judge in the entire Prison Law Palace. It is said that he is a Mahayana monk who has long ago killed the three corpses. He is ruthless and has no emotions, and is as kind as water. He will not make judgments based on personal likes and dislikes.

"objection!"

Yuan Zhixia raised her hands suddenly, stood up and said, "The evidence submitted by the plaintiff is problematic. The situation on that day was not domestic violence at all, at best it was just mutual pushing and shoving.

Otherwise, if two Cave Void Stage cultivators fought to the death, the entire mountain would be flattened.

As for injuries, it was nonsense. The cultivators in the Void Stage had already mastered the abilities of transforming their true essence into emptiness and transforming their spiritual consciousness. External injuries on the body could heal themselves in one breath.
It is worth noting that the plaintiff produced the medical records of Baihua Valley, and one of the lovers of the owner of Baihua Valley is the plaintiff's best friend, who is sitting in the audience at this moment."

After Yuan Zhixia hinted that the two parties had conflicts of interest, he continued, "The last and most important thing is that the plaintiff did not mention, or deliberately ignored, the cause of the dispute.

Lay Buddhist Miaoyin has been maintaining improper relationships with several members of the Xiaoshui Sect for the past five years, including Xiaoshui Sect elder Zhao, guest elder Dong, chief disciple Zhang, law enforcement hall master Wang, and steward Qian.

Yuan Zhixia called out a long list of names, both male and female, in one breath, just like calling out the names of dishes.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Xiaoshui still felt green when he announced in court that he had been cuckolded, especially by his own disciple for several years.

The expressions of the court clerks, judges, and others also became very interesting. Even the bald old judge who had been squinting his eyes opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Any evidence?"

"some."

Zhang Wei stood up and picked up several jade discs.

"We protest!"

Howard, who was at the plaintiff's table, stood up immediately and said, "According to the laws of the Fairy Court, all evidence submitted to the court must be obtained through legal means, such as written materials admitted by one party or images in public places.

Any evidence obtained through secret photography, eavesdropping, or other acts that infringe on privacy is not considered legal evidence." "Then if you take the photo openly, it won't be considered secret photography, right?"

Yuan Zhixia spread his hands and said, "Your Honor, this first jade disc is a surveillance record outside the Xiaoshui Sect's sinkhole. It is a video of a public place and is not within the scope of illegal evidence. Can it be broadcast?"

"."

The bald judge thought for a moment and nodded, "The plaintiff's lawyer's protest is invalid, so continue broadcasting."

Just waiting for this sentence.

Yuan Zhixia tapped lightly, and a three-dimensional projection-like image immediately popped up in the center of the jade disc.

The screen shows that the time was six months ago. Miaoyin, the wife of the sect leader, was walking and chatting with a group of younger generations of the sect. When they passed a sinkhole, she suddenly found an excuse to send everyone else away, leaving only a pure little girl with a bun, and she chuckled and took the latter's hand.

"Pingping, do you know what to do next?"

"I know, I know. But Master, if we do this, will we be sorry to the Sect Leader?"

"What's the point of being worthy? As long as you improve your cultivation, you will be worthy of the sect and the headmaster."

"But."

"Do you still want to make progress?"

".think."

"Then follow me."

After saying that, she pulled the little girl into the deserted sinkhole. She came out an hour later with her clothes a little disheveled.

"Then there is the second piece of evidence."

Yuan Zhixia continued to press the jade disc, constantly showing video materials, including but not limited to the Sutra Library, the Alchemy Room, and the Transmission Hall.
Although there were no actual shots, the occasional low breathing sounds in the background were enough to prove everything.

'Hmph.'

Zhang Wei smiled secretly in his heart. Generally, cheating (such as occasional extramarital sex) is not directly regarded as a "major fault" in the law.
However, we have too much evidence on our side. The couple has cheated on their spouse multiple times and for a long time. It cannot be considered as occasional extramarital sex in any way. It is enough to be considered a major fault and can affect the divorce compensation.

"."

As expected, the clerks and judges, trying to keep their expressions tight, glanced at Xiaoshui with sympathy.

This man is a cultivator of the Void Stage, a leader in the cultivation world, handsome, and has assets worth nearly 100 million.

Miaoyin actually left him and went out to find mistresses.

It’s okay to cheat, but at least find someone of good quality. How come he even didn’t let go of Uncle Qin, the sect’s doorman?

Facing the glances coming over, everyone in the dock, whether it was Miaoyin laywoman or lawyers like Howard, Haye, and Zhongtian Beiji, all looked calm, as if they had expected it.

Ok?
There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Just as Zhang Wei was in doubt, Miaoyin Lay Buddhist slowly stood up, first glanced at Xiaoshui who was gritting his teeth, then turned to look at the judge, "Your Honor, these evidences are all false."

? !
Such blatant lies not only raised Yuan Zhixia's eyebrows, but also made the judges on the stage cast a few more glances at him.

"God is my witness. In the more than 100 years since we got married, I have never betrayed Xiaoshui. The reason why those videos appeared was because of some small omissions in my work."

After that, she took out a box from the ring. Li Sheng's information integration glasses clearly displayed the name of the wooden box - Pure Heart Treasure Mirror.

"This [Purifying Heart Treasure Mirror] was dug out by Xiaoshui and I from the abandoned cave of an ancient sage eighty years ago. Its effect is to create an illusion, allowing cultivators to cleanse their distracting thoughts, soothe their minds, and promote their cultivation in the virtual illusion."

Miaoyin said: "Xiaoshui and I founded the sect, and we treat new disciples like our own children.

Seeing them neglecting sleep and food, exhausting their energy and even vomiting blood for the sake of cultivation, I felt distressed. I could not help but delay my own cultivation time and use the Pure Heart Treasure Mirror to help them calm down.

It was just that I didn't expect that I had adjusted the parameters incorrectly since some time, causing the effect of the secret treasure to deviate, and the illusion of cleansing distracting thoughts was set to the beautiful illusion of the Hehuan Sect. So these misunderstandings were caused.

I have never betrayed Xiaoshui."

Damn, there is such a thing?
Zhang Wei's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. Yuan Zhixia slapped the table and stood up, "Ridiculous, as a cultivator in the Void Stage, how could you not notice that the secret treasure you possessed was deviated.

How could a normal person not notice such a serious misunderstanding for five years? "

“It’s incredible, but it’s the truth.”

Zhong Tian Beiji stood up and said calmly: "All the video materials you presented are not direct evidence, and they are not even indirect evidence.

If the judge does not believe it, he can summon the Xiaoshui sect member who appeared in the video and verify it by using the method of soul searching. "

Soul searching is a secret method used specifically for those below the Jindan realm.

Xiaoshui's face turned blue and purple, and Miaoyin answered the question instantly with a fearless look, clearly coming prepared.

I was deceived! The other party deliberately let me find these evidences.

He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, knowing that there was no need to summon his disciples to humiliate himself. He gritted his teeth and said to his former Taoist companion, "You planned this scene five years ago, didn't you? You specifically leaked it to me when I was meditating and in seclusion.
If I die from infatuation, you will inherit all my property.
If I am not dead, you can provoke me to attack you, and then you can divide up most of the property smoothly."

"How is that possible? I have always loved you and have been trying to explain it to you."

Miaoyin bit her lip and said bitterly, "But, there is only the first time and countless times of domestic violence. We can't go back."

After that, she burst into tears and fell down in the plaintiff's seat. Her girlfriends sitting in the back row rushed forward to comfort her, handed her tissues to wipe her tears, and helped her scold the scumbag.

"She just made you misunderstand that you were cuckolded dozens of times. How can you push her? It's wrong to hit her."

"Yes, as a cultivator who has reached the perfection of the Void Stage, can't you let her go?"

"Apart from the facts, you have done nothing wrong?"

"No one is allowed to make noise!" The judge banged the gavel to maintain order in the court.

But these words had made Xiaoshui so angry that he was literally fuming. The aura of the cultivator who had reached the perfect stage of the Void Stage spread unconsciously. The level 30 Dark Falcon and Zhongtian Beiji were fine, but the other players, including Miaoyin's group of girlfriends behind her, all had suffocated expressions on their faces.

“I can’t breathe”

Li Sheng felt uncomfortable holding his breath, so he activated [Assembly Doll·Modified] and inserted an oxygen cylinder into himself, Yuan Zhixia, and Zhang Wei to restore their breathing. Before Xiaoshui could get more emotional, he said, "Wait a minute, we have a second piece of evidence here."
