Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:04:02
    Xiu Xu stepped forward and offered a bow, then spoke with sorrow and anger: "My son, Xiu Lun, because he did not heed my advice, insists on becoming a son-in-law to the Fairy Premier's household, to marry Bu Yingyin."

    However, they had only been married for a year when Bu Yingyin, my son Xiu Lun's wife, betrayed her marital vows and committed adultery with another man, causing the death of my son.

    Hearing Xiu Xu's words, Bu Yingyin immediately began to sob quietly.

    Bu said coldly, "Xiu Zhangqi, when you speak, you should be evidence-oriented. If you continue to defame my daughter Yingyin, don't blame the Premier for charging you with guilt."

    This is in the Palatial Hall of Immortals. If not here, Xiu Xu would not dare to speak like this. He would have already had his men take down Xiu Xu by now.

    Xiu Xu said with sorrow and anger, "Did I say anything wrong? Did my son not die in the Fairy Mirror House?"

    "Xiu Lun perished due to his cultivation going astray, what does that have to do with our Premier's household?" Bu increased in anger,

    "You are the Premier, of course you would protect your daughter. Can you silence the endless gossip by doing so?" Xiu Xu's hand shook with anger.

    Bu said with a chuckle: "If your son was truly killed by someone else, why did Lu Chongdao need the things you gave him? That's because you wanted Lu Chongdao to lie and say that it was a blind thing?"

    The Emperor Wu Chang frowned, "When will we have a result if we continue like this?"

    He huffed and said, "Since that's the case, put Xiu Xu's case aside for now and deal with Lu Chongdao's first.

    My Fairy Court has established the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws. Everything must follow the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws. Premier, your demotion is to be confined to a dungeon. You are required to dispatch a magistrate to present a convincing reason acceptable to all.

    If there is no legitimate reason, even though you are the Premier, you will have to be held accountable by the law.

    "Yes," Bu Yue answered after a moment of silence and looked at Yingfang: "Yingflag, you come and read out the crimes committed by Lu Sanban. All verdicts will be based on the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws."

    If someone is unclear, please explain more clearly. Regardless of the charge levied, there must be a basis for it. The evidence and reasons should be clear and understandable to everyone.

    Yingfang, with his fair and unblemished skin, immediately stepped forward. He first offered a respectful courtly bow to Emperor Wu Chang, and then bowed to Premier Bu Yue:

    "As the Premier of the Fairy Law Department, naturally everything must be based on the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws. Otherwise, how could Yingfang hold his position as Premier of the Fairy Law Department?"

    The people in the palace of the Immortal Court were all sighing silently.

    Yingfang is the Premier of the Fairy Law Department and among the people in the palace of the Immortal Court, no one is more knowledgeable about the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws than Yingfang.

    Law?

    The Nine Thousand Fairy Laws are a set of laws and regulations within the Immortal Court. It's not that whoever has reason wins; it's based on these laws.

    As long as it's based on the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws, it's whoever has a deeper understanding of them that wins.

    Now that Yingfang is helping Premier Bu, who among the followers of Chongdao can help him?

    Even Emperor Luo Yu, the Emperor Pingwei, frowned. He hadn't expected that Emperor Wuxiang wouldn't give him face and would instead insist on following the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws.

    It's obvious that whoever Yingfang supports will win.

    It seems that Premier Bu Yue holds a higher position in the heart of Emperor Wu Chang than he had imagined.

    "Brother Pingwei, why don't you also request a magistrate to assist Lu Sanban?" Emperor Wu Chang looked at Luo Yu.

    Luo Yu hesitated for a moment, and his gaze fell on the Premier of the Thunder Law Department, Mu Jiuting.

    Before Luo Yu could say anything, Mu Jiuting stood forward: "Brother Emperor Pingwei, I am willing to serve as the magistrate for Lu Sanban."

    "Good, then I thank you, Premier Mu." Luo Yu nodded.

    Everyone knew that as the enforcement department of the Immortal Court, the Premier of the Thunder Law Department, Mu Jiuting, naturally had a deep understanding of the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws. However, compared to Yingfang, he was far from being as knowledgeable.

    It was something Emperor Luo Yu had no choice but to comply with.

    In this great hall, aside from Yingfang, there was only one choice: the Premier of the Thunder Law Department, Mu Jiuting.

    Emperor Wu Chang said, "Now that both magistrates have arrived, let's begin."

    Yingfang took a deep breath and said to Lu Chongdao, "Lu Sanban, is it true that you publicly rebuked Premier Bu Yue?"

    Lu Chongdao had been imprisoned for a while and his character had been polished by the experience.

    He spoke slowly, "When I wanted to investigate Bu Yingyin, naturally, I would go to the Fairy Mirror House to do so. However, Premier Bu Yue, as the Premier, rebuked me and told me to leave."

    I am the chief judge of the case designated by the Immortal Court, and I naturally have the qualification to investigate within the Fairy Mirror House.

    "Did you then insult the Premier?" According to the seventh hundred and thirty-sixth article of the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws, if someone insults their superiors and directly offends an official in the eighteen departments of the Immortal Court, they will be deprived of eleven meridian channels and imprisoned for nineteen thousand nine hundred years.

    As the Premier is the head of the eighteen departments, the punishment is doubled. Therefore, twenty-two meridians will be abolished, and imprisonment will be for thirty-eight thousand years.

    At the time, Premier Bu Yue was affected by your insults, causing his vital energy to stagnate and his divine abilities to be affected. For several years, he made little progress. According to Article 7021 of the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws, Particle 7021, an additional punishment of three thousand years in prison is imposed, and the Purple Palace is also destroyed.

    Everyone listened in terror. The lowest penalty for a below was merely a reprimand, while the most severe punishment was the one that affected one's divinity.

    If Yingfang can produce the crystal orb of the laws from that time, as long as there was a significant fluctuation in Bu Yue's vital energy and his own divinity was affected then, today's incident will be confirmed.

    Even if Mu Jiuting's research on the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws is deeper than Yingfang's, he still cannot reverse the situation.

    It's as if what he feared had come true. Yingfang took out the crystal orb.

    The crystal orb was activated, and the image showed Lu Chongdao pointing at Bu Yue and shouting fiercely, "Old scoundrel, it's people like you who bring shame to the Immortal Court."

    You deliberately allow your children to bully officials, oppress the Immortal Court, engage in sexual immorality within the Premier's household, and that is punishable by ten great sins.

    Then Premier Bu Yue's face turned ashen with anger, and he spat out a blood arrow.

    From the chaotic laws visible in the crystal orb, it can be seen that Yingfang's sentencing is correct and well-founded.

    Mu Jiuting's face turned pale as well, leaving him with no way to defend himself.

    The other party has produced solid evidence, including crystal orb images of Bu Yue's suffering from a disruption in his divinity. Meanwhile, his side has nothing at all.

    Not to mention that now Yingfang has a deeper understanding of the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws than he does. Even if he did not have as deep an understanding, he would not be able to provide legal assistance to Lu Chongdao.

    "This is merely disrespecting one's superiors. Let's talk about the case of Lu Chongdao embezzlement..." Yingfang spoke confidently.

    Brother Emperor Pingwei sighed, knowing that his side had lost the battle.

    Lu Chongdao is such a headache; he's too much trouble.

    He was clearly the one in the right, but now he's been painted into a corner without a plausible explanation.

    Upon seeing the pale expression on Mu Jiuting's face, He Lianao Dong realized that she couldn't allow Mu Jiuting to serve as a magistrate for Lu Chongdao. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and said:

    "Your majesty, Longevity, this matter involves the destruction of Qianyuan Immortal Mansion. I, the minor cultivator, hope to request a magistrate related to the case."

    Mu Jiuting is indeed one of the best magistrates, but he has not yet been able to understand the details of the case.

    A magistrate is not an official appointed by the Immortal Court. Anyone who can provide assistance in applying the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws is considered a magistrate.

    Hearing this, Mu Jiuting breathed a sigh of relief because if he were to serve as a magistrate for Chongdao, he was inevitably destined to lose.

    "Before Mu Jiuting could speak, it can be changed to a new magistrate." Emperor Wu Chang also saw that Lu Chongdao was inevitably going to lose. He didn't mind letting Lu Chongdao change the magistrate.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty. It will take some time for my magistrate to arrive here." He Lianao Dong quickly expressed her gratitude.

    "Not at all. Since this case has been opened, it must be handled in a fair and just manner for all concerned."

    Emperor Wu Chang waved his hand.

    He Lianao immediately sent out several messages.

    "Longevity, how should we handle this matter?" Brother Emperor Pingwei looked at He Lianao with concern in his eyes.

    He Lianao had no certainty either; she had only been told by Ding Huan that if help with the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws was needed, he would come.

    Ding Huan's profound understanding of the Five Element Laws may also give him insights into the Nine Thousand Fairy Laws.

    "Longevity, the investigation of the field planted by Lu Renjia of the Heavenly Agriculture Department has been completed. There are no leads. The field is in perfect order, without a single rice root or seedling."

    The people sent out by Emperor Wu Chang returned with an answer that was very unsatisfactory to him.

    Furthermore, the bodyguards who went to search for Lu Renjia have not returned yet. It seems that the situation is not looking good.

    aaaa

    Ding Huan emerged from the transmission array of the Hundred Kings Cave, and his appearance had once again transformed into that of a thin wanderer cultivator.

    Ding Huan was well aware that he had to leave the vortex of the Immortal Court as soon as possible. Therefore, he didn't use a iron cauldron, but instead chose to use a transference array.

    He wasn't familiar with any other transference array, but the only one he was familiar with was the one that Lu BuSi had brought him to, the Hundred Kings Cave transference array.

    Just as he emerged from the transference array, his communication bead started to flash continuously.

    He Lianao Dong?

    Ding Huan picked up the communication bead and felt a bit puzzled in his heart. How could He Lianao Dong not know that he was now on the run?

    She had mentioned that to him last time.

    "Ding Huan said, although I can't say it out loud, this is about the life of Grandmaster LuBuSi. I can only ask for your help."

    Please serve as the magistrate for Grandmaster LuBuSi's grandfather and rescue him back from Premier Engfang of the Law Department...

    Ding Huan furrowed his brow, he had agreed to help He Lianao Dong, but he couldn't do it anymore now.

    Now he would die if he was seen.

    Before Ding Huan could fully comprehend, He Lianao Dong's second message came through.

    "Don't worry, this time it's in the Hall of Immortals. We have Your Majesty Pingwei Wei as our protector, and no one dares to harm you. After this matter is resolved, whether it's successful or not, you can follow me and Your Majesty Pingwei Wei to leave."

    Ding Huan's heart stirred; this was a good idea.

    He knew Emperor Pingwei Wei; he was one of the Four Emperors.

    With Emperor Pingwei Wei to stand up for him, his matters would not be considered significant.

    This not only helps He Lianao Dong but also provides a legitimate way for him to appear in the future.

    Backing.

    During his time in the Immortal Court, Ding Huan has come to realize a truth.

    If one's own strength is lacking and there is no background, it is truly difficult to make progress in the Immortal Court.

    With the opportunity to meet Emperor Pingwei Wei, Ding Huan agreed to take on the task.

    After thinking it through, Ding Huan turned around without hesitation and stepped onto the transference array once again.
