"Brother Yang!" Zhao Yunyan's expression changed. "How could you have done anything wrong? You led the Yang family and the Baoyuan Sect to become the undisputed overlords of the region. What could have been wrong with you?"

She glared at Yang Yi and asked, "Is this how you treat your benefactor?"

Yang Guan reached out and grasped Zhao Yunyan's wrist. He looked at Yang Yi expressionlessly and said calmly, "You are now the Young Master of the Yang Family. You should be responsible for your own words and actions."

He turned to look at Li Wuyi: "Coming from his mouth, these things have indeed increased my suspicion of being a demon cultivator. Let's investigate them together."

After the words fell, Yang Guan flicked his sleeves and said, "Yang Yi, I said, I have a clear conscience for what I have done."

Yang Yi curled his lips and said, "You have a clear conscience because you wanted to become an immortal—but you forgot."

He walked towards Li Wuyi and said in a calm voice, “If you were an immortal, no one would say or do anything, but you are not yet.

Over the years, I hope my sister and others have appeared in your dreams to make you feel guilty."

Yang Guan lowered his eyelids slightly, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and he said nothing.

Li Wuyi then looked towards the private room again. "Saint Lu, Yang Guan is the number one genius in our Yulin Territory. This matter is of great importance. If the Yulin Territory conducts an in-person investigation, there may be omissions. I would like to ask Saint Lu to come forward and notarize it!"

Lu Jinan asked lightly, "Does it involve the immortal?"

Li Wuyi smiled bitterly: "It has nothing to do with it."

"Then how can it be considered a major matter?" Lu Jinan chuckled. "A large domain can't even uncover the truth?"

"Lu Shengzi is right." Li Wuyi bowed and turned to look at Wang Liang and Yang Yi: "Do you have any evidence?"

"They are just fools who believed the slander of villains!" Zhao Yunyan sneered: "They are just hearsay.

What evidence?

Beside her, Yang Guan's expression was calm.

Rumors without evidence are just rumors after all. Although they are as difficult to deal with as dog shit, once he becomes an immortal in the future, there will be countless people to help him deal with these dirty things.

"If they could produce any evidence, they would have already done so. But can you produce it?" Zhao Yunyan questioned Wang Liang and Yang Yi. "Brother Yang is a demon cultivator? Haha, that's ridiculous!"

"Your Majesty, this is not absurd."

From afar, an old voice came in, and instantly caught everyone's attention.

The melon is not over yet?!

Some cultivators were impatient. This was the venue for the Immortal Tea Party, not a court for judging cases—" But since it involved Yang Guan, the organizer of this Immortal Tea Party, they could only suppress their impulse.

All eyes converged on the south side of the canyon. An old man with white hair and beard was walking slowly towards them, followed by a somewhat timid young man.

Xunfeng Kingdom is a fifth-grade country, which means it is a force with several saints in the realm of sainthood.

Although there are many people in the Tongsheng Realm in the Great Domain, only a few of them are famous. This old man is one of them. However, it is not because of his strength in the late Tongsheng Realm, but because he assisted Taizu and helped Xunfeng Kingdom grow from a small country to a fifth-class country through three dynasties.

Liu Gong was a famous independent prime minister of Xunfeng State.

After Zhao Yunyan ascended the throne, he asked Liu Gong to retire and return to his hometown to regain control of the royal power.

Looking at Liu Gong approaching slowly, Zhao Yunyan's eyes glared, "Liu Gong, what are you trying to do? Do you want to become the prime minister with absolute power again?!"

Liu Gong stopped and kowtowed to Zhao Yunyan. "I simply don't want Your Majesty to be blinded by Yang Guan."

"I think it's you who's been blinded!" Zhao Yunyan shouted angrily, "For the sake of your loyalty to the country for so many years, get out, get out now, or don't blame me for being merciless!"

Liu Gong raised his head and looked at Zhao Yunyan, then his gaze shifted to Yang Guan's face. "Prince Dingxing, do you dare to look at me?"

Yang Guan looked at the old man in the rain with a gloomy face, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

This group of damned pariahs from the underworld... They should have been killed one by one!

"Liu Gong." Yang Guan said coldly, "All the emperors of Xunfeng Kingdom died in wars, and you took advantage of the opportunity to control the government. All the government orders come from you. Now—"

Do you also want to take this opportunity to overthrow me so that the Xunfeng Kingdom can take on the surname Liu?!"

Liu Gong said expressionlessly: "If I wanted to be emperor, why would I wait until I'm old? I just—

He looked at Zhao Yunyan and said, "Your Majesty, everything I did today was for the Xunfeng Kingdom!"

"Do you want to slander Brother Yang like those two ungrateful people?" Zhao Yunyan displayed the majesty of an empress. "Come on, I'll let you tell me a story!"

"Your Majesty, what I just meant was evidence!" Liu Gong said loudly, "This is not hearsay!"

"Ridiculous!" Zhao Yunyan glared at Liu Gong. "First it was the Baoyuan Sect, then the Yang Family, now it's the Xunfeng Kingdom's turn. Will it be the Shenyi Sect's turn then?!"

Her cold gaze swept around, lingering on Li Wuyi's face for a few seconds. "You're a loser who dares to do something but not take responsibility for it. You can't beat Brother Yang, so you resort to such despicable tactics. How ridiculous!"

Many eyes swept over Li Wuyi intentionally or unintentionally, feeling that with the confidence of the Tongqi Hehuan Sect, they could indeed make up such rumors.

"Look at me?" Li Wuyi chuckled, "Come on, come on, come and search my soul. If it's anything I did, I'll kowtow to Yang Guan three times and bow nine times!

With so many people talking about him, there must be something wrong with him!"

Zhao Yunyan's eyebrows raised, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Gong spoke first, "Your Majesty, please let me finish my speech first."

He looked at the young man beside him with a calm expression: "Go ahead."

The young man looked timidly at Zhao Yunyan and Yang Guan on the stage, his legs seeming to tremble with fear.

Liu Gong took a deep breath and said, "Speak, I will protect you, and Lu Shengzi of Wandao Sect is here, no one dares to act recklessly.

Tell us everything you have seen, and you will be a great hero to Yulin Territory and even the entire human race."

"Tell me!" It was Yang Guan who said in a low voice. He looked at the young man he had never seen before with an expressionless face: "I want to hear what you have to say!"

The young man's legs softened and he knelt on the ground. Born a hunter, this was the first time he had seen so many important people. His teeth chattered and he stuttered: "I am a commoner, a commoner——"

Liu Gong sighed lightly and cast a spell in front of everyone, and the young man's voice returned to normal.

"Four years ago, on February 11th, I went hunting with the elders of the village on Yunluo Mountain. I saw him fishing with a girl by the stream."

As he spoke, the expressions of the people from Xunfeng Country who were invited changed.

At that time, the Tianming Kingdom was taking advantage of the succession of the Xunfeng Kingdom's imperial power to launch a large-scale invasion, conquering several passes in succession and approaching the capital of the Xunfeng Kingdom!

At that time, the new emperor Zhao Yunyan issued an order to live and die with the capital.

At that time, Yang Guan was in seclusion... in seclusion?

Fishing with other women...is it seclusion?

"That's nonsense!" Zhao Yunyan's expression was gloomy. "How can a mere hunter like you get close to Brother Yang?"

The young man kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. Everything I said is true—I, I have the Shadow-Catching Stone to prove it!"

As he spoke, he quickly took out a shadow-catching stone from his bosom and placed it on the ground. "My people have been hunters for generations, and shadow-catching stones are used to observe the movements of wild animals on the mountain and increase the probability of hunting them. Therefore, our village has placed a certain number of shadow-catching stones on Yunluo Mountain.

Zhao Yunyan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Yang Guan.

At this time, Liu Gong touched the ground with his forehead again and said: "Your Majesty, when Xunfeng Kingdom was in danger, Prince Dingxing knew the news but did not rush to the scene immediately. Instead, he waited until more than half of the casualties had passed before coming.

Whether it's the Yang family, the Baoyuan Sect, or our Xunfeng Nation, one incident is a coincidence, but all of them are like this. He has a reflexive mind, which is truly the style of the devil! "

Liu Gong raised his head and looked at Zhao Yunyan: "I suspect that Prince Dingxing is practicing some unknown magic method and deliberately sacrificing his life!"

"Ridiculous!" Zhao Yunyan shouted angrily, "War is not a joke? You—"

"Your Majesty, are you afraid to face this matter directly? Is it because the deceased are all your political enemies?" Liu Gong looked directly at Zhao Yunyan's expression and said, "I have checked and found that the deceased in Xunfeng Kingdom are all political enemies who opposed Your Majesty's ascension to the throne as a daughter.

You——.——? Do you know about this?

Zhao Yunyan said expressionlessly: "I am showing you mercy by letting you retire and return home.

What's wrong with me handling this?"

Liu Gong's expression changed. "So, you and Prince Dingxing planned this together?"

Zhao Yunyan's eyes were cold and icy. "A nation's affairs have both light and dark sides. I'm only doing what I should do. Prime Minister Liu, you've embarrassed me, and the entire Xunfeng Nation has been embarrassed along with you."

Liu Gong fell silent. So, all this was just an imperial measure taken by Your Majesty to eliminate dissidents?

The Yang family and the Baoyuan clan are also like this?

In the private room, Lu Jinan nudged Mu Qingyue with his elbow: "After all, he is a man who can become the ruler of a country. He can remain calm in the face of great events."

Mu Qingyue tilted her head and looked at Lu Jinan: "Next——"

"Let's keep watching." Lu Jinan smiled: "There are many smart people."

"So, you and Yang Guan planned this incident where more than half of the people were killed or injured?" Li Wuyi exclaimed in amazement. "It's okay for Xunfeng Country, but how come more than half of the people were killed or injured in Tianming Country? That's too accurate, isn't it?

Zhao Yunyan looked at Li Wuyi and said, "What's wrong with killing the rebels from Tianming Kingdom?"

"But the problem is..." Li Wuyi raised a playful smile and looked at Yang Guan: "The soldiers of Xunfeng Kingdom who resisted Tianming Kingdom are all your die-hards, right? Otherwise, how can you trust them to defend the capital and wait for Yang Guan to come out to support you?

So, you even sacrificed your loyal men?"

Zhao Yunyan's expression darkened, but Yang Guan spoke impatiently, "If you have any doubts, take him away too. Ask him everything!"

He raised his head and looked around: "Is there anyone else who doubts my cultivation of magic? Come forward together, and don't let me look down on you!"

Yang Guan looked at the people of Shenyi Sect and said, "Now it's time to question Shenyi Sect, right? Come on, everyone, stand up!"

There will be no tea party today!"

No one from the Shenyi Sect stood up.

Yang Guanyi, with a rage burning in his heart, stepped onto the stage with an astonishing aura: "No one? Are you going to make me say with my own mouth that more than half of the people in the secret realm were killed or injured, and then suspect that I'm a demon cultivator?!"

As he spoke, his eyes passed over Li Wuyi: "Do you need to search my soul yourself, huh?"

Li Wuyi's eyes flashed. He could see that this conspiracy against Yang Guan was a farce because there was no evidence.

Although the young man Liu Gong brought with him had the Shadow-Catching Stone as evidence, Zhao Yunyan personally admitted that this was an act of exclusion by the king of a country.

Although this behavior coincidentally resulted in more than half of the casualties, the elimination of dissidents cannot be directly linked to the evil path.

Unless there is the most direct evidence.

But obviously, there is no such evidence.

"Brother Yang, why bother searching my soul? I'll testify for you!"

Suddenly, a loud laugh was heard from the sky, followed by a sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves. The rain curtain was covered by the darkness, and countless souls wailed and mourned, emitting a gloomy and resentful aura.

"Ten Thousand Souls Banner!?"

The monks present stood up one by one, staring fiercely at the uninvited guest whose soul was churning.

"Don't be so hasty."

As the soul roared, a figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Puppet."

"First introduce yourself."

The figure landed on the stage in a dignified manner and walked towards Yang Guan, whose face was gloomy. "I am the young master of the Wuji Demon Sect. Brother Yang, do you still remember our cooperation in the secret realm?

You asked me to eliminate half of the masters of the Divine Will Sect, and you rescued the remaining half."

As soon as the words fell, the whole place was in an uproar.

Zhao Yunyan also looked at Yang Guan in disbelief. His beloved—was he really a demon cultivator?

Boom!

The thunder that resounded through the heavens and earth illuminated Yang Guan's grim expression, and he sneered, "Okay, very good.

This time it is indeed the turn of the Divine Will Sect.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the cultivators who had been to the secret realm. "Who has seen him in the secret realm? Or who allowed him to sneak in?"

The puppet smiled slightly: "A thousand faces, a thousand faces, a formless magic skill."

The puppet changed into the appearance of one of them: "Brother Yang, you killed me then, right?"

"Yang Guan, is it really you!?" Someone in the crowd roared.

"How dare you!" Lu Jinan's voice rang out from the private room. "How can you trust the words of someone from the Demonic Path? You are both cultivators from the Yulin Region, and you are going to disparage a fellow cultivator just because of a random remark from a Demonic Path member?

Or do you believe the Wanfo Sect's nonsense that "lay down the butcher knife, become a Buddha on the spot, and the past will be forgiven"?

"Saint Lu, I spoke out of turn." The cultivator quickly apologized and then bowed to Yang Guan. "Brother Yang, I'm sorry. I lost control of my emotions because of my brother's death in the secret realm. Please forgive me."

Yang Guan bowed towards the private room, but ignored the monk's apology.

"As expected of the Wandao Sect's Saint Lu." The puppet chuckled, "Your reputation is far-reaching."

Lu Jinan said calmly, "You're just a puppet. I'll give you three breaths to get out of here."

"Sir Lu, since I've dared to reveal my identity as the Young Master of the Wuji Devil Sect, I'm naturally here to eliminate this evil for your righteous side," the puppet lazily said, "I have a Shadow Catching Stone that records the entire cooperation between Brother Yang and my Wuji Devil Sect."
