Chapter 231
The mortal warriors and low-level cultivators of the Blood Lotus Sect seemed to harbor deep obsessions with the once high and mighty young ladies of noble families and female cultivators.
Whenever they found an opportunity and the right connections, they would not hesitate to enter the Sin Alley and viciously vent their hatred and hostility on those ladies and female cultivators.
Even though the Sect Leader of the Blood Lotus Sect had issued a ban and the Hall of Enforcement was constantly arresting people, it couldn’t stop these middle and lower-ranking leaders from seeking pleasure in Sin Alley.
Over the past days, the Hall of Enforcement hadn’t caught many people outside Sin Alley, but almost all of them were figures with rank and status within the Blood Lotus Sect.
Li Muyang, feeling irritable, rubbed his eyebrows and asked, “Who did he sleep with? Daring to stay overnight there, he’s really audacious.”
Normally, middle and lower-ranking leaders who entered Sin Alley privately would stay for just an hour or two before leaving after venting.
But this Dai Shan had not only entered Sin Alley privately, he even dared to spend the night there?
This was a blatant disregard for the new laws of the Blood Lotus Sect.
But then he heard his subordinate report back, “Replying to Banner Master, he slept with two sisters from the Qin family. The elder sister is called Qin Haiyue, 17 years old, and the younger sister is Qin Haidie, 15 years old…”
After listening to his subordinate’s account, Li Muyang, with an expressionless face, picked up a brush and paper and wrote swiftly.“For entering Sin Alley privately and defiling two women, according to the laws of our sect, the sentence is four hundred lashes and one year of imprisonment.”
Li Muyang finished writing the judgment document with an impassive face, stamped it with his Banner Master seal, and then handed it to a subordinate.
“Take him away.”
Dealing with such crimes was routine for Li Muyang.
After all, he had passed judgment many times before. But after he delivered the sentence, Dai Shan, who had been pressed to the ground like a dead dog, suddenly raised his head.
His face, covered in blood, was filled with anger.
“You dare to lock me up for a year? I don’t accept this! I can pay a ransom to redeem myself! I don’t have to go to prison! On what grounds are you imprisoning me for a year?”
Four hundred lashes wouldn’t kill this warrior, but it would beat him half to death.
For these fearless disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect, being tortured to near death might be even more terrifying than being killed outright.
Facing Dai Shan’s questioning roar, Li Muyang remained cold and indifferent.
“Whether a ransom can be paid is for this Banner Master to decide. And I have judged that you cannot redeem yourself. You must serve the full sentence!”
“Take him away.”
Li Muyang couldn’t be bothered to waste words on such scum and waved his hand for his subordinates to clear the area.
But this bloodied third-rank lotus member became enraged, roaring furiously and struggling desperately.
“You decide? Who the hell are you!? What are you!? On what grounds do you decide?”
“You’re a lowly spawn of the Demonic Sect, originally a dog of the Demon Refining Sect, yet you coveted wealth and defected to our Blood Lotus Sect, causing the death of your parents and entire family! A disloyal and unfilial wretch! You’re nothing but a lapdog who clung to Shen Yan’s coattails, and instead of behaving like a dog, you want to lord over us? Pah!” 𝖗αꞐоΒÊŜ
“Li Muyang! F*ck your entire family!”
The bloodied man struggled fiercely, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Li Muyang as he bellowed, “Others may fear you, you Demonic Sect bastard, but I don’t.”
“When I get out of prison, I’ll be the first to come and kill you!”
As Dai Shan continued to shout and curse, he was dragged away, but Li Muyang’s face remained cold and indifferent.
“Take him away and lock him up.”
Li Muyang closed his eyes and reclined back on the lounge chair: “When the execution is carried out, have the executioner pull out his tongue as well to spare him the pain of biting it off.”
Dai Shan’s curses and hatred were merely a reflection of the sentiments of certain people within the Blood Lotus Sect.
Perhaps in Shen Yan’s eyes, Li Muyang, with his Martial God Tyrant Body, was a promising talent with great potential. But to many in the Blood Lotus Sect, Li Muyang was nothing more than a traitorous dog of the Demonic Sect who defected to the Blood Lotus Sect for wealth and caused the death of his entire family—an ingrate despised by all.
Now that he had become the Banner Master of the Hall of Enforcement, he had offended people everywhere.
Li Muyang’s reputation among the lower ranks of the Blood Lotus Sect was no different from that of a despised dog.
Who knows how many people wished to flay him and dismember his body, eager to devour his flesh.
……
In a small tavern next to the city lord’s mansion, Li Muyang lay stretched out on a bed, sighing wearily.
“I always feel that if I keep doing this job, Fang Yingtian will use my head to quell the public’s anger…”
Given Fang Yingtian’s style of acting as a tyrant of the demonic path, this possibility indeed existed.
Seeing Li Muyang so exhausted, the serving girl who had just set the dishes sat down beside him and began to massage his head with her hands.
“Don’t worry, brother, just hang in there a little longer. Our people are almost assembled.”
“When Elder Yan gives the order, we’ll overturn this Blood Lotus Sect, and then no one will be able to use your head.”
The girl comforted Li Muyang gently, her slender fingers tenderly massaging his temples.
Li Muyang lay on his sister’s lap while sighing, “Fang Yingtian, that bastard, is such a smiling tiger.”
“On the surface, he seems to take good care of me, but in reality, he’s making me do his dirty work.”
“Indeed, it was more comfortable working under Elder Yan’s pomegranate skirt back at the Demon Refining Sect.”
Li Muyang lamented to his little sister, feeling much more relieved after sharing his troubles.
However, Li Yuechan, disguised as a serving girl, couldn’t stay long and soon left with a giggly smile.
Li Muyang lay alone on the couch, closing his eyes and entering the “Deadly Weed” game.
The Emerald Blade Mantis had evolved again last night, forming a light cocoon underground in the netherworld and falling into a deep sleep.@@novelbin@@
With nothing else to do, Li Muyang continued to brush up on Xiao Yecao’s daily routine, accompanying her in the mountains and fields.
However, Xiao Yecao in the game sensed that Li Muyang was in a bad mood and became curious.
“Elder Brother, why are you suddenly unhappy? Is something bothering you?”
Xiao Yecao, now a beautiful fairy, blinked her bright eyes curiously at Li Muyang.
The once scrawny little girl had grown into a Mysterious Fairy who could drink with dragons and debate with gods.
Her ethereal aura, like that of a legendary immortal, seemed as if she could ascend at any moment.
That transcendent quality made Li Muyang wonder if the girl had already reached the realm of immortals.
Faced with Xiao Yecao’s curiosity, Li Muyang sighed, about to speak, when at that moment, a knock on the door echoed in the reality of the tavern’s private room.
“…Muyang, are you there?”
Shen Yan’s voice sounded, and Li Muyang was somewhat surprised.
He turned off the game and returned to reality.
“Come in.”
Li Muyang sat up straight as Shen Yan, wrapped in a thick cloak, entered the room.
Seeing Li Muyang drinking alone, Shen Yan smiled, “I hope I’m not disturbing your peace.”
Li Muyang shook his head, gesturing for her to sit: “Please, take a seat.”
“You’ve been so busy lately. You must have something on your mind coming to see me, right?”
Lately, Shen Yan had been even busier than Li Muyang, and it had been a long time since she had sought him out.
Her sudden visit today must mean something important.
Li Muyang was curious.
Shen Yan, clad in a plush fur overcoat, fell silent for a moment before sighing.
“…Muyang, do you know about the Demon Refining Sect’s spies infiltrating Tianjiao City?”
What do you think?
