The Game with Fairies-Chapter 268 - The Idealist

Chapter 268: The Idealist

The news of Hall of Enforcement Banner Master Li Muyang’s arrest and imprisonment unsurprisingly caused a huge stir in Tianjiao City.

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

Many taverns and shops in Tianjiao City even hang red clothes and offer discounts to celebrate the event.

The entire city was filled with joy, as if Li Muyang’s arrest, a cruel and evil official, was a cause for universal celebration.

Shen Miao relayed the outside situation to Li Muyang through her sister’s perspective.

The girl was quite angry.

“These brainless fools! My brother-in-law is not a bad person!”

As the seals loosened, the girl’s emotions became more realistic.

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

Now, Shen Miao was no longer limited to just feeling happy and joyful.

She felt both angry and wronged by the scenes outside.

Li Muyang, however, just shook his head with a smile.

“It’s just a false image created by those rats, bribing a few tavern and shop owners to hold celebratory activities and spreading rumors to guide others to follow suit, creating the illusion that I am a great evil with boiling public resentment.”

This kind of manipulation of public opinion was something he had seen countless times on the internet in his previous life.

Most people in the world are conformist and blind.

The fact that so many people in the city celebrated Li Muyang’s imprisonment didn’t mean they truly hated him.

It’s like that classic saying among adults, the common people don’t care who gets beheaded. They’re happy no matter who it is.

Li Muyang was unconcerned about these reports.

In fact, the bigger the commotion outside, the more he liked it.

After Shen Yan left that day, she had been investigating and running around the city, trying to trace the clues behind the scenes and uncover those who had framed Li Muyang.

Now, Li Muyang’s imprisonment was a minor matter within the Blood Lotus Sect.

The aftermath triggered by Li Muyang’s imprisonment would turn into a massive torrent sweeping through the entire Blood Lotus Sect.

Li Muyang, already imprisoned, sat back and watched the drama unfold quietly.

He played games in the prison, working with Shen Miao to try to crack the corners of the Four Symbols Formation, completely ignoring the storm outside.

The Vermilion Bird in the South, which controlled the heavenly fire, was more troublesome than the Azure Dragon’s heavenly thunder.

Li Muyang and Shen Miao had been trying for three days but kept failing, not even reaching the second phase of the Vermilion Bird.

In the same combat system as the Azure Dragon, once the energy bar of 【Heavenly Fire】 was full, Li Muyang and Shen Miao would be forcibly expelled from the secret realm, resulting in failure.

In the game, Li Muyang kept failing and trying again, and while attempting to conquer the game, he continued to enjoy leisurely activities with Xiao Yecao.

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

After Li Muyang’s imprisonment, the disciples of the Hall of Enforcement’s Yellow Banner were also successively imprisoned and subjected to scrutiny.

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

It wasn’t until Shen Yan intervened that these imprisoned disciples of the Hall of Enforcement were gradually rescued.

Following the names given by Li Muyang, Shen Yan not only rescued these law enforcement disciples but also investigated the traitors among them.

However, after identifying the traitors within the Hall of Enforcement, it became difficult to continue tracing the clues downward.

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

It was uncertain whether Xie Shanhai’s Liehai Hall and Nangong Ting’s Shenyan Hall were involved, and Liu Churen of Yubo Hall and Liu Hucheng of Lianxin Hall were also suspected of involvement, and these were only the ones currently discovered...

Nearly half of the Helmsmen and Incense Masters from the Blood Lotus Sect’s four major halls and seven sub-branches were involved in this matter.

Li Muyang was astounded when he heard this news.

It seemed that Fang Yingtian’s assertiveness had indeed caused dissatisfaction among those Helmsmen and Incense Masters who were used to acting like local Emperors.

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

“Why not just let it go? If you continue to investigate, I’m really afraid you’ll be assassinated...”

Although Shen Yan had high prestige in the sect, half of it came from her father, and the other half from her past ability to plan everything and anticipate the enemy’s moves.

With the support of Sect Leader Fang Yingtian and other factors, Shen Yan held an extraordinary position within the Blood Lotus Sect.

However, despite her high status, she did not have a substantial identity.

In the past, nobody dared to touch her, nor was there any need to. They were even willing to listen to her.

But now, things are different. Shen Yan wants to root out those defiant thorns and execute them.

Both sides now stand opposed, and who knows what that pack of rat-like scum will do.

Li Muyang, with a smile, tried to persuade her, but Shen Yan shook her head.

“If we show fear and retreat here, how can our sect’s teachings be spread far and wide?”

“The leader is absolutely right. The more these dregs overflow, the more we must cut them down. If we let them run rampant, even if the Blood Lotus Sect dominates one day, it will be nothing more than another Demon Refining Sect.”

Shen Yan’s eyes were resolute.

Within the Blood Lotus Sect, there are many who truly believe in its cause, and Shen Yan is one of them.

She is genuinely striving for her belief in exterminating all cultivators in the world and returning it to ordinariness.

Seeing that persuasion was futile, Li Muyang stopped trying.

He is not an idealist, but he still respects the sight of Shen Yan, who has a pure belief and fights for it.

However, Li Muyang, imprisoned as he is, can’t really help Shen Yan.

The only thing he can do is to use Shen Miao’s third-person perspective to inquire and observe Shen Yan’s situation during his gaming breaks, to understand the current state of this female Zhuge Liang, lending his support through his gaze.

......

Under Shen Yan’s planning and investigation, the people who framed Li Muyang gradually surfaced.

Apart from Lotus Members, Shen Yan also obtained ironclad evidence of several Banner Masters’ involvement in the matter.

These investigations and confrontations inevitably led to strife and slaughter.

With Li Muyang’s imprisonment, the Hall of Enforcement quieted down, and although Tianjiao City seemed calm on the surface, a series of fierce fights erupted in the shadows.

The souls in the Four Directions Cauldron increased by dozens.

Though few in number, they were all core forces of the Blood Lotus Sect, showing just how bloody the internal strife was.

Shen Miao looked at her sister’s struggles outside and felt anxious, “Brother-in-law, are you really unable to help? I feel like my sister is in great danger...”

Li Muyang, however, was unconcerned, “What’s there to fear? At worst, s dies. The disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect aren’t afraid of death. They can be easily resurrected after dying.”

The disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect, accustomed to dying and being resurrected, were fearless in death, which brought great trouble to Shen Yan’s investigation.

Correspondingly, even if Shen Yan died a few times, it would not matter.

If those crazed people thought of killing Shen Yan, not only would it be futile, but it would also provide evidence against them and completely enrage Fang Yingtian.

Perhaps Fang Yingtian was just waiting for these scum to kill his niece so he could take advantage of the situation.
