If Di Qing knew she had become a cripple, he would definitely cripple her without hesitation! However... fortunately, there is still the Wang family. No matter what, Di Qing will consider the Wang family's reputation.
But what Yao Xing said next plunged Lady Xuanxin into utter despair.
"What did you say?!" Madam Xuanxin clenched her fists tightly.
"The Grand Elder personally went to the Wang family and imprisoned the Wang family head and a group of others in the Temple's Heavenly Prison. This matter... can no longer be kept secret."
Those blood slaves all escaped, without even a chance to kill and silence them.
The Wang family is completely finished!
"No, it can't be! This must be fake."
In that instant, Madam Xuanxin felt as if all her strength had been drained away, biting her lower lip until it bled: "Fools! What a bunch of fools! What kind of idiots have I raised! Pfft..."
Overwhelmed with anger, Madam Xuanxin suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
It's over, it's all over!
Everything she did vanished like smoke.
"No, there is still hope. As long as His Majesty is unaware of this matter... there is still a possibility of salvaging the situation."
Lady Xuanxin struggled to get up.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xuanxin, who had finally managed to stand up, collapsed back to the ground.
It's over, it's all over!
====
As night fell, a dark figure flashed past above the temple, dodging the surrounding arrays and mechanisms, and Liuyue slipped behind a rockery.
Several guards were patrolling on the path not far away.
"I heard that the entire Wang family has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. What happened? Even the Goddess of the Divine Palace hasn't shown up. What serious crime has the Wang family head committed...?"
The most powerful family in Shenyue City was raided and its property confiscated overnight! The entire family was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
With the Goddess of the Wang family backing them up, even if they committed a serious crime, it shouldn't have caused such a commotion...
The major families throughout Shenyue City are now in a state of panic, speculating wildly.
"I heard it's related to a case of a missing monk."
"The Grand Elder has been investigating this case but has yet to find a clue. Could it be... that the Wang family head was behind this? If that's the case, isn't the Wang family head incredibly audacious? Isn't this blatantly defying the law?"
"Yes, I don't know if the Goddess knows about this, but in any case, once this matter is settled, even the Goddess will not be able to escape unscathed."
We all prosper together, and we all suffer together!
Once the Wang family falls, the Goddess will not fare much better. Even if the Venerable One cherishes their years of marriage, he cannot withstand the wrath of the masses!
The patrolling guards chatted amongst themselves.
"Say less, be careful, walls have ears. If someone with ulterior motives overhears you, watch your dog heads!"
The group didn't notice a shadow flash past them from behind.
The dungeon.
The head of the Wang family still refuses to believe that he is completely finished.
"Let me out! I need to see the Goddess's wife! How dare you arrest me! I am the current Goddess's father-in-law!! Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard to dare to do this?!"
The roar of the Wang family head echoed from the depths of the corridor.
With no response in sight, the Wang family patriarch grew increasingly agitated. "Let me out!"
"Master, stop shouting. Shouting until your throat is hoarse won't help. You've committed a capital offense! Don't even mention the Goddess, even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't make a difference." A voice came from the opposite cell.
The head of the Wang family thought for a long time but still couldn't remember who this young man was.
"You don't remember who I am, do you? Well, you've never even seen me before." The young man sneered, "My mother was forced into having me by you when you were drunk. I haven't even called you 'Dad' yet, but I think you're not worthy."
The young man said calmly that although he was of the Wang family bloodline, he had never enjoyed the resources and preferential treatment that the Wang family's offspring received since birth because of his mother's low status.
They lived worse than servants; they survived by eating the leftovers of servants when they were young.
As he grew up, he could only make a living by going out to do missions, since even Wang Tian didn't know that he had a son he didn't recognize.
"What right do you have to say such things in front of me? You should thank me, for without me, you would not have come into this world."
The head of the Wang family snorted coldly.
"Old man, do you think I wanted to come?" The young man's attitude was even more arrogant than Wang Tian's.
Wang Tian: ...You wretched child!
"Now look what's happened. Because of your stupidity, I'm going to lose my life too, tsk tsk tsk!" The young man sneered. "But I don't plan to keep this worthless life anyway. However, I'm quite happy to see you, this old geezer, die."
The young man's tone was indescribably cheerful.
Wang Tian was furious: "You wretched child! Who do you think you are! I will not fall like this! Absolutely not!"
As if to comfort himself, Wang Tian spoke exceptionally loudly.
The young man opposite him sneered and said nothing more.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from nearby.
Wang Tian's face lit up with joy; it must be Xuan Xin who came to see him!
Yes, his daughter is the wife of a deity!
In the past, whenever something happened to the Wang family, as long as Xuanxin stepped in, it was no big deal!
Wang Tiantian genuinely believed that this time would definitely be the same. Although this matter had escalated a bit, the Wang family would suffer as a whole, and Xuanxin would never sit idly by.
A figure dressed in a black cloak stopped in front of the prison cell.
"You're someone sent by Xuanxin, aren't you? Why doesn't she come herself!" Wang Tian's expression changed instantly when he realized it wasn't Madam Xuanxin.
