Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Li Yuan, when did you become so distant? You weren't like this when we parted."

He kept his head down and remained kneeling there without moving.

"Heh..." Lin Yaoxie sneered, then used his magic to send Li Yuan flying. Li Yuan crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Lin Yaoxie slowly walked in, his face grave: "Speak, what is it?" Li Yuan curled up slightly, then changed to a kneeling position, stammering, "Li Yuan feels that the Dragon Lord has gone too far."

A sense of doubt crept into his mind, but he said calmly, "What do you mean? Do you think that I should just detain them regarding the matter of leaving the border, and then leave the rest to you? Do you think that I'm letting you manage the affairs of the Winged Clan now in exchange for you? I just find it troublesome."

"Initially, I kept you alive because I thought you harbored a vengeful heart, but now, if you are no longer of any use, I can also turn you into a second wicked slave."

Although Li Yuan did not know about the Evil Slave in person, he was aware of it. Li Jing's change of name to Evil Slave meant that he would never be able to turn his life around again, because in the end, no one would remember the name Li Jing anymore, and only one person named Evil Slave would remain in this world.

"My lord, please forgive me, Li Yuan... that's not what I meant..." Li Yuan no longer concealed her feelings and said directly, "Li Yuan simply feels that you, my lord, are just too adept at using tricks. Although I haven't known exactly what the Dragon Lord has been doing all this time, he always brings surprises, including today's mention of Miss Shao Xing and the newly acquired Xuan Nu."

"Could it be that you've been in love with the Winged Queen all these years?" Lin Yaoxie felt this wasn't a big deal. He had plenty of women, but he really didn't have any plans for men, and he didn't want to have any such plans. "If you want, I'll just give you that Mystic Maiden. It's not a big deal anyway."

"Dragon Lord, you misunderstand. That's not what I meant. It's just that... I feel deeply uneasy about what you've done. You've offended too many people. Heaven will judge injustice, and you'll be given an extremely difficult person to deal with. If something unexpected happens then, I'm afraid... you'll have no way out."

Li Yuan felt uneasy as he spoke his last words, fearing that Lin Yaoxie would suddenly become angry, an anger he could not bear. But after he finished speaking, Lin Yaoxie remained silent, as if he was still pondering something.

After a long pause, Lin Yaoxie finally spoke: "What you said makes sense, but life always needs some excitement. Besides, my strength now is not ordinary, as you should know."

"However, if that's how you put it, I do think that the continued existence of Heaven is indeed somewhat intimidating. Therefore, once I have accomplished my great task, I will directly annihilate Heaven, making all within the four seas and eight wastelands submit to my feet."

These words seemed to freeze the surrounding air. Everything sharpened, piercing Li Yuan's mind. He was indeed deeply moved, and thus his admiration for Lin Yaoxie grew even stronger. But looking up at Lin Yaoxie, he felt extreme fear. How could this person... be so powerful? How could he possess such a playful nature? And how could he... be so powerful that he could slay the heavens and rule the world at any moment?

Even so, he grew increasingly afraid of Lin Yaoxie. Perhaps he was a demon sent from hell, a wronged soul harmed by the Celestials, who inadvertently absorbed the energy of countless souls from hell, thereby gaining supreme power and achieving his current glory…

Li Yuan felt she had gone a bit too far ahead, but when she turned back, she met Shanglin Yaoxie's questioning gaze: "Did you hear what I just said?"

Did you listen? Or didn't you listen?

Li Yuan dared not speak; he only knelt on the ground, pressing his forehead tightly to the earth: "This subordinate was lost in thought; I beg the Dragon Lord's forgiveness..."

He thought this would anger Lin Yaoxie, but a hand was placed on his shoulder: "It's alright, just be more careful next time." There was no hint of blame in his expression, and he even looked a little haggard, as if he was tired from running around these past few days. He then got up and saw Lin Yaoxie repeat: "You should rest well today, because there are things to do tomorrow."

"Yes, Li Yuan will arrive on time," he bowed, then watched Lin Yaoxie's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a hint of doubt rising in his heart. Such a gentle person now...

Why was I suddenly so scared before? It seemed like it was because Lin Yaoxie was too terrifying, ruthless and indiscriminate in his actions. But now, he seems like a completely different person. It's too strange.

Li Yuan stared blankly for a moment until Lin Yaoxie's figure completely disappeared before turning back. Now that he had swallowed the Heart-Soothing Pill, he would never betray Lin Yaoxie again in this life. Otherwise, he would have had to betray him with his life, but that would be too insignificant, and he was unwilling to do so. Besides, he still had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Li Jing conspired with Dong Hua of the Heavenly Realm to depose himself from his position as Wing Lord. Time flies, and tens of thousands of years have passed. Li Jing... has finally fallen into my hands. Thinking about all of this now seems like a dream, and I am somewhat speechless.

Inside the dungeon, the darkness and dampness created a stench that flies, insects, and rodents had made it their home. As Li Yuan stepped into the prison, it immediately caused a great commotion as flies and rodents fled. The guards behind him couldn't help but pinch their noses, and Li Yuan, unable to bear it any longer, temporarily sealed his sense of smell with magic before continuing to Li Jing's place of confinement.

At first glance, it was a rather unsightly sight, because he... seemed to be dying, barely clinging to life.

Chapter Fifty-Four: His life is glorious, his death is inevitable.

Li Yuan walked slowly forward, then slowly squatted down. Li Jing tried to lift his eyelids slightly, but seeing Li Yuan, he was too weak to look any longer, so he lowered his head again. Now, he had nothing to say. Li Yuan's presence here certainly didn't bring him anything good, and he had no reason to hope that Li Yuan would rescue him. He only wished that Li Yuan would, in the end, show some brotherly affection and spare him today.

But looking back ten thousand years, although he was asked by Donghua to take the position of Wing Lord, in the end, didn't he still imprison him all along?

And he treated him the same way. At first, he said some harsh words, saying that he would imprison Li Yuan here until he died. But heaven knows why Li Yuan suddenly disappeared. Many people were sent to search for him but there was no trace of him. Now he has appeared in front of us again, and he has returned with Lin Yaoxie.

Perhaps all of this was planned by the two of them, but alas, he is destined to not escape it today.

Seeing Li Yuan slowly squat down, Li Jing chuckled as he gently lifted Li Yuan's chin, saying, "I never thought you'd end up like this. Perhaps you didn't even imagine it would happen before." Li Jing lowered his head, only to hear Li Yuan whispering words he absolutely hated in his ear: "Evil slave? I heard that's your new name from 04. Heh, not bad at all, evil slave, evil slave, evil slave..."

These words were extremely unpleasant to Li Jing, so he struggled to get closer to Li Yuan, but the pill quickly held him back. Instantly, unbearable pain coursed through his body, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. He couldn't hold back any longer…

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at the state you are in now. I heard you were so arrogant to the Dragon Lord back then? You deserve to end up like this." With that, Li Yuan picked up the hard whip in his hand and swung it at Li Jing.

Li Jing called out once, then lowered his head, blood spurting out, but no one paid any attention. Li Yuan lashed out with his whip again, leaving a bloody welt on Li Jing's face, from which blood flowed incessantly: "Do you still remember how you treated me back then? You once sent people to throw sulfur at me, and said you would imprison me for life? You ruined my path to becoming the Winged Lord, and you even stole our shared sister?"

You took everything from me, even my last vestige of freedom. When you ordered me imprisoned, did you ever imagine this day would come? Did you ever imagine you would be tortured at my hands?

Li Jing remained silent, his body bound, only managing a couple of groans. He could only listen to Li Yuan's every word: "Fortunately, when I was in despair, the Dragon Lord saved me. I abandoned my dignity and devoted myself to serving him. After tens of thousands of years, I have finally waited for this day, for you to kneel before me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan used his knife to instantly slice off Li Jing's kneecap. Unable to bear the pain, Li Jing knelt down on the ground, right in front of Li Yuan.

"Hehe, do you know how much I enjoy this process right now? Don't think that just because we have the same father, I won't kill you. Because what you did to me in the past was enough for me to pay for what you did. Back then, you had Donghua as your backer."

Now that I have the Dragon Lord as my backer, you will never have another chance to leave this place.

Li Jing forced a bitter smile, then said helplessly, "Heh, actually... you're nothing more than... that Lin Yaoxie's... dog... nothing."

He probably wouldn't have the chance to utter a coherent sentence now, but he could still manage to stammer out these words. However, Li Yuan was furious at these words. He was indeed Lin Yaoxie's slave, but he didn't want anyone to mention it, especially the word "dog."

All he did was to get revenge on Li Jing, but no matter how things turned out, Li Yuan... would ultimately have to follow Lin Yaoxie for the rest of his life.

If Lin Yaoxie lives, he lives; if Lin Yaoxie dies, he dies. So no matter what the future holds, he only has one path: he cannot abandon it, cannot distance himself from it, cannot betray it; he can only be loyal to Lin Yaoxie, or he will die.

Li Jing was covered in wounds, and seemed unable to breathe. Li Yuan had left, but he had left too many injuries on Li Jing's body, even ruining his entire body.

My muscles and bones are too weak to stand up again.

Although he felt he was about to die, the pill he had swallowed seemed to have taken effect, still holding his life in place and preventing his soul from dissipating. In fact, his wounds were slowly healing.

Despite this, Li Jing still felt that he would suffer the pain again as his wounds healed, until he was able to stand up again and was once again locked to the stone pillar.

He felt extreme pain, but was powerless to leave. He hated Lin Yaoxie to the core, feeling that he was indeed a devil, just as a real devil would not spare anyone in the world, including Li Yuan, who was now bound to him for eternity and could never leave him again.

In a fleeting moment, Li Jing felt a pang of sorrow for his half-sister, Li Yuan, who had been so ruthless towards him. However, he himself was also filled with sorrow, for Lin Yaoxie was the one who had caused all of this. The name Lin Yaoxie would forever remain etched in Li Jing's mind...

This time, Lin Yaoxie, having relieved himself of some duties, headed lightly towards Xuan Nu's bedchamber. Perhaps because of what happened in the previous realm, Xuan Nu seemed to be in a somewhat bad mood.

But when Xuan Nu saw Lin Yaoxie, she managed to hide that expression, then walked up to Lin Yaoxie and bowed: "Wing Lord..."

Lin Yaoxie helped Xuan Nu up, and said gently, "If it's just the two of us in the future, then there's no need to bow anymore."

Xuan Nu shuddered, but simply nodded and said nothing more. However, this change in Xuan Nu made Lin Yaoxie somewhat uneasy. Before, when Xuan Nu was still the Wing Queen of Li Jing, she had been quite warm towards him. Now, her change made him feel rather awkward. Did she intend to hand over the position of Wing Lord to Li Jing?

"Heh," Lin Yaoxie sat down at Langkou Tea, leaving Xuan Nu standing there, ignoring her: "Speaking of which, you weren't like this before. Why are you like this now? Are you not used to it, or are you nervous, or... have you been putting on an act the whole time, finding me quite amusing? Hmm?"

Chapter Fifty-Five: A Trial and Trial - Unable to Live, Unable to Die

Xuan Nu lowered her head, momentarily at a loss for words. She was simply shocked by how suddenly things had happened. Without any warning, Lin Yaoxie had become the Wing Lord, while Li Jing, whom she had once longed for, had instantly become a prisoner with no chance of redemption.

Moreover, she didn't know what was happening to Li Jing now: "Xuan Nu wouldn't dare. From beginning to end, I never intended to play tricks on Yi Jun. It's just that Xuan Nu still cared about Li... that wicked servant. But Xuan Nu, I never dared to disobey your wishes. I... I was just... worried about Yi Jun. If the wicked servant isn't properly kept in check... then... then..."

"Enough, stop talking." Lin Yaoxie really didn't want to listen anymore. In the end, it was just that Xuan Nu still had a sliver of feelings for Li Jing.

She gave a bitter laugh, then sat on the bed, smiling as she looked at the Xuan Nu before her: "I once told you that as long as you made love to me in front of Li Jing, I would spare his life. I meant what I said, but I only said I wouldn't let him die; I never promised you anything about letting him leave."

He's currently imprisoned in the dungeon, and just now, his mortal enemy, his brother Li Yuan, went to teach him a lesson. You know, the two of them have always been irreconcilable enemies. Besides, ten thousand years ago, that wicked servant even stole Li Yuan's position as Wing Lord. Do you think Li Yuan will let him off this time?

Xuan Nu raised her head slightly, feeling that this was going too far. After all, they had been husband and wife for tens of thousands of years; she couldn't just watch Li Jing suffer like this. But as soon as she stood up, Lin Yaoxie's words reached her ears: "If you dare to step out of this door, I will make him wish he were dead."

If you think I wouldn't do that, then you're welcome to try. Of course, you won't have to bear any consequences, because in the end, all the punishment will fall on the wicked servant. So, how about it? Now, would you like to consider staying by my side in exchange for the wicked servant's life, or taking a gamble with the wicked servant's life? Hmm?

Xuan Nu froze, finally kneeling helplessly on the ground. The fault lay not with her; it was simply that she had been on Lin Yaoxie's path to enlightenment, and he had taken her along in the process.

She found it laughable, but thinking back to ten thousand years ago at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, she still admired Lin Yaoxie. But now, everything had changed.

However, she still had to admit that she still had some feelings for Lin Yaoxie, and in the end, all she had for him was a trace of marital affection from the past ten thousand years.

Xuan Nu slowly stood up and walked to Lin Yaoxie's side: "As long as you don't kill the evil servant, then Xuan Nu will never betray you, Lord Yi." Lin Yaoxie's smile gradually appeared, and then he slowly approached, touching Lin Yaoxie's chin: "If that's the case, then I will naturally keep my word, but how much affection do you really have for me?"

"Like Mount Kunlun, the Mysterious Maiden... has long harbored hopes for the Winged Lord." These weren't words Lin Yaoxie wanted to hear; after all, for a woman like her, such sweet talk was...unpleasant.

He didn't really feel anything, but he just wanted to see what the Mystic Maiden's feelings were towards him, whether she had any intention of betraying him. If she did, then he shouldn't keep her around.

"In that case, it seems I need not worry any further." However, Lin Yaoxie's purpose in coming here was not solely for this matter, as he and Xuan Nu had already planned to take Ye Hua's little grandson away from Qingqiu.

At this moment, Lin Yaoxie no longer knew where the little grandson was: "But I still want to tell you in advance that when the two of us are together, you should not mention that evil servant. If you are in a good mood, that's fine, but if you are in a very bad mood, I can't guarantee that I won't do something to that evil servant."

"Yes, Xuan Nu knows what she should and shouldn't say, so please rest assured, Wing Lord." Xuan Nu nodded slightly, which made Lin Yaoxie a little unaccustomed to Xuan Nu being like this, so he said, "In the future, when it's just the two of you and me, you can skip these formalities. Otherwise, these tedious things always make us seem distant. I quite like your own unique charm when you're alone..."

With a narrowing of her eyes, Xuan Nu understood what she meant and slowly moved closer to Lin Yaoxie, pressing her entire body against him: "Since you say so, then Xuan Nu... will not stand on ceremony."

After saying that, he was about to reach out, but Lin Yaoxie was not very interested today, so he just hugged Xuan Nu and did not respond to Xuan Nu's little actions: "I asked you to bring that little grandson back from Qingqiu before, where did you put it?"

Xuan Nu hesitated slightly before slowly saying, "'This matter... was going smoothly until that evil servant was present. As you know, he and Bai Qian have always had feelings for each other...'"

So, not wanting Bai Qian to be blamed for losing the little heavenly grandson, I took him away. Now, I… and then there were many things that I forgot to tell you.”

Moreover, at that time, Xuan Nu was well aware that Lin Yaoxie's purpose was for Bai Qian, not the little heavenly grandson. Therefore, when handing him over to Li Jing, she didn't think much of it. Who knew that Lin Yaoxie would suddenly ask about the little heavenly grandson's whereabouts? However, whenever she thought about what Lin Yaoxie had done for Bai Qian, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

The Mystic Maiden exposed one hand, then slowly loosened Lin Yaoxie's sash, gently caressing his chest. This was likely intended to arouse a desire within Lin Yaoxie, but he remained unresponsive for a long time: "You said that the wicked servant snatched the Little Heavenly Grandson from your hands. If that's the case, then it means the wicked servant knew the Little Heavenly Grandson's location, right?"

He shuddered, even stopping his movements. His expression was somewhat blank as he stammered, "Yes." Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie sat up and covered his exposed chest again with his gauze robe.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, the Mystic Maiden behind him pulled Lin Yaoxie back. Turning around, he saw that the Mystic Maiden seemed somewhat pitiful. Perhaps this was just his imagination. But it seemed that the Mystic Maiden's emotions were truly off: "What are you doing?"

The hand tightly gripping the hem of her dress slowly loosened, and Xuan Nu forced a smile, but her words came out very quickly: "I think that if the Wing Lord wants to find the Little Heavenly Grandson, he doesn't necessarily have to go to Li... the evil servant for questioning, since he wasn't personally involved in hiding the Little Heavenly Grandson. Actually... questioning those subordinates would also be fine."

Chapter Fifty-Six is ​​actually a cover-up, concealing the truth, and a cruel intention.

Although he felt that Xuan Nu was a bit strange in some ways, Lin Yaoxie did not want to go through that trouble: "No need. In the end, all of this was arranged by the evil servant. I will just go directly to Li Jing and ask him clearly. Anyway, the dungeon is not far away now." After saying that, he opened his arms and said calmly: "Help me change my clothes."

Xuan Nu was extremely unwilling, because if she were to ask questions and discover any problems, wouldn't she be in for a rough time? If she spoke up now, perhaps the outcome would be better. But if she admitted it before finding out anything from Li Jing, that would be just as bad.

After much deliberation, Xuan Nu still couldn't shake her unease. She first helped Lin Yaoxie change his clothes, then whispered in his ear, "In that case, could Xuan Nu... accompany Yi Jun?" Lin Yaoxie was somewhat surprised, then suddenly remembered something: "You wouldn't be thinking of finding the wicked slave and then taking him away, would you? If that's the case, you'd better plan things out more carefully, otherwise..."

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie was about to continue speaking, Xuan Nu hurriedly said, "Xuan Nu dares not, I only wanted to take a look at the evil servant. Xuan Nu dares not do anything, after all, this is under your nose, Xuan Nu dares not do such a thing."

Lin Yaoxie did not want to put his mind on Xuan Nu after hearing this. After Xuan Nu tied his belt, he said calmly, "Since that's the case, then you may follow me."

He took a step to leave, and Xuan Nu hurriedly followed behind, dressing as she went. Fortunately, she had tidied her clothes before leaving and hadn't done anything impolite in public. However, she felt somewhat apprehensive following behind Lin Yaoxie, as she was currently thinking about how to speak and how to subtly convince him of her abilities…

Just as she was about to walk away, Lin Yaoxie suddenly stopped, and Xuan Nu bumped right into him from behind, causing Lin Yaoxie to look at her suspiciously: "What's wrong with you? You seem a little absent-minded? Are you perhaps thinking about how to rescue the evil servant?"

A shiver ran through her body. Xuan Nu had no such thoughts, so she spoke with great sincerity: "Xuan Nu had no such thoughts. It's just that I haven't been here for tens of thousands of years, so I was curious and looked around. That's why I was momentarily lost in thought. But now it seems there's nothing worth seeing. If I offended Lord Yi just now, please punish me."

She was actually quite unwilling, because she had just been lost in thought and bumping into Lin Yaoxie was completely accidental. However, it seemed that Lin Yaoxie had already understood the meaning of Xuan Nu's words, so she simply shook her head and said, "Never mind, you were just unintentional." After saying that, she turned and left, continuing to walk into the shadows.

At this moment, Xuan Nu paused for a moment, then turned around. There was no one behind her, and even if there were, they were in the Winged Realm and couldn't possibly harm her. But even Xuan Nu didn't know what she was looking at. After sighing, she finally followed and went after Lin Yaoxie.

After walking for a while, a foul stench wafted through the air. The goddess covered her mouth and nose and continued forward. A place that should have been dark ahead suddenly became brightly lit, though not very brightly.

But compared to the previous complete darkness, it was now clear enough to see things. However, in that place, he saw the long-lost Li… the wicked slave.

His wrists were all pierced by chains and he was chained to a stone pillar. His whole body was covered in blood, but no matter how Xuan Nu looked at him, Li Jing had no wounds.

But the blood and Li Jing's pained expression shouldn't be a lie, and even the marks on Li Jing's clothes seemed to be from torture. Xuan Nu was somewhat lost in thought when she came back to her senses and saw Lin Yaoxie had already gone to Li Jing's side.

Li Jing slowly raised his head, his lips turning pale as he slowly spoke: "What are you doing here again?" Clearly, Li Jing was extremely unwilling to see Lin Yaoxie. Although his words were very weak, they clearly showed that Li Jing was very unhappy.

Lin Yaoxie merely smiled faintly: "I've come today to inquire about the whereabouts of the Little Heavenly Grandson. If you tell me, I'll spare you from physical suffering."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu's heart immediately tightened. She was somewhat afraid, but she had to listen carefully to every word Li Jing said next so that she could respond appropriately and not let Lin Yaoxie discover any flaws. If necessary, she could also kill Li Jing directly.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Seeing a hint of disdain in Li Jing's eyes, Lin Yaoxie lifted Li Jing's chin as he knelt on the ground.

Their eyes met, and Lin Yaoxie appeared terrifying in Li Jing's presence: "Don't understand? Then do I need to explain it to you again? Hmm?" Li Jing was extremely wary of Lin Yaoxie, and even his voice trembled as he spoke: "I... I really don't understand... Ah!!"

A surge of magical power entered Li Jing's body, instantly binding his entire body. Li Jing felt pain sweep over him, and his wounds were slowly reopening, bleeding profusely: "Ah!!!"
