Chapter 463 It’s time to update the world order.
Everyone in Tiangong was still in a trance.
Encountering two such impossible things on the same day really makes me doubt the reality of this world.
A person ascended for two thousand years, reached the thirty-sixth heaven alone, and cultivated directly with the original pure energy. Not only was he not frozen to death or directly purified and dissolved, but he also cultivated to the position of Yuanjun. A person was in Guixu, a place where no one has ever come out alive, and it only took him a short hundred years to break through thousands of obstacles, cross the endless waters, and advance to return.
And now, these two things appeared before their eyes at the same time.
The silver dragon leaped down and transformed into a human form. It looked at the Emperor of Heaven and said, "I have been ordered to find the inheritance of the previous Taiyin before his death."
One word caused a thousand waves. Lin Du did not speak at the first moment. He felt the emotions from all directions and lowered his eyes without saying a word.
Wei Zhi raised his hands and waved his sleeves, and a curtain of water appeared in the sky. Amid the gurgling water, the scene before Yin Huaitian's death was revealed.
In the picture, there is no mansion as it was before it returned to the ruins. There is only a transplanted precious tree, and behind the precious tree is an endless body of water.
The woman was wearing silver armor, holding a snake-shaped sword, and holding a red rope in one hand. The red rope burned her palm, but she didn't care. She stood under the tree, watching the people coming one after another.
Most of those people had changed appearances. Some were wearing masks, some had blurred features, or they looked so ordinary that one would forget what they looked like after just one glance.
They did not come together, but appeared under the tree one after another. Some seemed to be hiding on the side, while others had ambushed in advance.
But no matter what, they are the opposite of Yin Huai Tian.
No one was her helper, and no one came to protect her.
"As expected, you are still impatient." Yin Huaitian looked at those people, "If I call five battalions of soldiers to come now, you will all be caught in one fell swoop."
"Yin Huaitian, you have been stripped of your military power. No one listens to your orders. Otherwise, why did no one accompany you on the way here? You have been waiting here for so long. Those who are lurking around are here to kill you, not to see if you have found the evil demon."
Yin Huaitian's expression remained unchanged. "Is that really the case? As long as this is the fairyland, I can call people here at any time."
The people surrounding her burst into laughter. "Now, does anyone still believe you?"
"You have repeatedly lost their trust, caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace many times, misidentified many people, and offended all the departments of the Heavenly Palace. Even the Emperor of Heaven no longer believes in you. Now everyone thinks that you are just a crazy woman who was affected by the three poisons and became possessed when the evil demons came out."
"You hate us for being evil, but the first time you killed the wrong person, your obsession was even stronger than that of an evil demon."
"You are a joke in the Heavenly Palace and the entire fairy world."
"If you had been careful and lurking, and slowly cleared me out, I might have been more cautious. But now, you are alone and helpless. Do you still think you are the Taiyin Star Lord who can easily mobilize five battalions of troops and command the support of hundreds of people?"
"Wake up, no news will get out today."
"You have been slow to act. I think this identification treasure cannot kill us. I am sorry, Lord Taiyin."
As that person finished his words, several array patterns that had been laid out long ago slowly emerged, and the color of the sky and water suddenly turned bloody.
Moves were launched from all directions one after another, from domineering to insidious, dozens of attacks of varying sizes attacked Yin Huai Tian.
Yin Huai Tian turned her wrist and raised the sword. The sword energy was vigorous, fierce and swift. She spun quickly and swept out a moon wheel with the sword, blocking most of the attacks. She was agile and brave, like a falcon hanging high in the sky. Even if the hunters set a trap, she was still heroic. The bloodstains on her beautiful face were also her medals.
Chu Guanmeng jumped off Lin Du's sleeve at some point and turned into a rabbit. He looked up at the person in the picture, with a pair of red eyes, as if they were simulated, but they were actually shockingly red.
Yin Huai Tian was worthy of being one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Palace. She seemed to be calm and composed even when facing one against a hundred. Even though she had many wounds from hidden weapons on her body, she didn't seem to feel any pain at all.
It was not until the last person arrived that Yin Huaitian was knocked back heavily.
That force was very strong, far stronger than anyone who had attacked before.
The person didn't even reveal a trace of her figure, only a torn crack in space. She stretched out a hand and with one move, she lifted the lonely and brave general up into the air. The hidden weapons melted from the wounds on her body in an instant.
The woman fell into the bottomless sea like a falcon pierced by an arrow.
Chu Guanmeng stared with his eyes wide open, and then let out a sharp roar.
The whole place was silent. Most people either looked reluctant, had mixed expressions, or clenched their fists in anger.
As he was sinking into the deep sea, the woman's voice rang out again, each word carrying with it the profound power of a river flowing backwards.
"You demons who are wearing the skin of gods, even if you sit on the supreme position, it is best to hide your demons forever. When you take action, never reveal any demonic energy. As long as you reveal a little, there will always be descendants who will inherit my legacy."
Lin Du suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards where the emperors were.
"I admit that I, Yin Huai Tian, am not a very smart person. I am reckless, straightforward, arbitrary, biased, prone to making mistakes, and I have indeed committed crimes. But the only thing I, Yin Huai Tian, was right about was that I suspected that the demon fetus was still hiding among the immortals. You may think that I am a lunatic."
"But I have already burned out everything I have for my ambitions. I have no regrets in this life."
"If there is a successor who accepts my will, I hope that you can escape unscathed even if you fight alone."
Suddenly, within the water curtain, only a vast expanse of sea light remained.
Wei Zhi stood in front of the water curtain and said, "This is the last will of the previous Taiyin."
He turned around and looked at everyone in front of him, "This is also my only goal in rushing out of Guixu today."
The crowd finally began to stir.
"Even so, that doesn't prove that these demons are all from the Immortal Palace, right?"
"It has been peaceful for so many years, and we haven't found any evil spirits causing trouble."
"Taiyin has been dead for ten thousand years, right? During this period, there has been no evil spirit causing trouble. Moreover, let alone the entire fairy world, there are so many people in the entire heavenly palace. Do we have to investigate them one by one?"
"Also, is there any way to find the demon fetus without hurting others or causing a false case? In the picture just now, Yin Huaitian also failed, right?"
Those words were just the gossip of the crowd, but the gods had excellent hearing, and everyone could hear the gossip clearly.
An immortal official spoke up, "In fact, there are evil spirits at work. Wasn't that the case during Kaiyang before?"
There was silence in the crowd at first, and then the sound gradually rose.
"We are upright and have nothing to fear!"
"What else can I be afraid of? I am afraid of wrongful convictions and the disregard of human lives."
Wei Zhi finally reacted. He turned around, faced Lin Du, and bowed deeply. "Please, Lord Lingwei, reopen the Three Yuans and Nine Palaces and monitor the Lords of the Heavenly Palace."
Everyone now understood that someone was waiting here. This was a big show being performed in front of all of them.
There was a lot of discussion at the moment, and someone couldn't help but ask, "But I'm afraid that the Floating Life Illusion can't find out whether it is an evil demon or not, right? Wasn't Kaiyang the first person to be judged by the illusion?"
"Besides, the evil deeds done by the demons in recent years are probably not as many as the cases of beasts and demons causing casualties. Do we have to shake the foundation of the entire Heavenly Palace just because of this little thing? Doesn't that immortal official have an important position? If a large number of people stop working and accept investigation, wouldn't it be chaos in the three realms!"
Lin Du finally spoke, "I have heard everyone's voices."
"I will answer all your questions one by one."
She smiled and said that it was good to have doubts. She was afraid that if no one told her, she would have nowhere to put the ladder.
"I have just returned from the Thirty-Six Heavens. I wonder if this red rope looks familiar to you. I have inherited a magical treasure that was forged by the Moon Star Lord in the Thirty-Six Heavens. She didn't have time to use it that day, but now I have time to accept the magic talisman contained in this red rope."
Lin Du raised his hand, his wide sleeves fell down, and the red rope on his wrist looked like blood, pricking some people's eyes like bone spurs, causing pain in the eyes.
"Of course, before I prove my ability, I need to show you some files first."
As soon as Lin Du finished speaking, a tall figure pushed through the crowd, holding up a file, and appeared in front of everyone.
"Mo Lin, a disciple of Dongyuan of Shenxiao Mansion, sorted through the files of the past ten thousand years and found a total of more than 30,000 cases of beasts and demons injuring people. Among these more than 30,000 cases, only more than 300 beasts and demons were caught committing crimes on the spot. Among them, the souls of 2531 people were not received by the fighting department and the underworld, and disappeared from the book of life and death."
Mo Lin looked at everyone, "Of course, this can't prove that it was evil spirits that were at work, but I've visited many places in the fairy world. The scattered immortal Cangli was originally a music practitioner. Wherever the music reaches, energy is fed back. I can identify traces of spiritual power at the crime scene, and I've discovered a lot of clues."
A figure leaped up from behind the immortals. Cangli held a jade flute in his hand and landed in front of them. He saluted them slightly, "I am Cangli from the Supreme Sect. Nice to meet you all."
"Friends who often kill people know that killing is easy, but it is difficult to erase all traces of the crime. As long as the crime has existed, even if time passes and wind and frost wear away, a little bit of residual power can be retained."
"I am a carefree immortal. I love to travel and play music. By chance, I passed by the crime scene from before and found the remaining traces of the devouring method commonly used by evil spirits."
"I walked through half of the fairyland and passed by more than 30 legendary crime scenes, and found such traces in all of them."
Cang Li Luo Luo looked at the Emperor of Heaven generously, "With my two disciples who are immortals in the Heavenly Palace as witnesses, everything I say and do is true."
Yuan Ye, who was about to answer, twitched his lips silently. The disciple should take responsibility for the master's work, right? This is his real master!
Mo Lin nodded, "These thirty cases are all from the past hundred years, including some that happened after Kaiyang's death."
In silence, Yuan Ye and Ni Jinxuan finally squeezed out of the crowd. "Also, we found some survivors who can prove that these are love letters they wrote word for word."
"Some of them I have seen accidentally in my own secluded little world, and some of them I was almost eaten. However, these were scattered immortals, and they were fine after they saved themselves. Everyone in the immortal world lives far away from each other. These were scattered immortals from remote areas. Humans and demons have encountered them before, and there are especially many demons outside their tribe who have been eaten."
"These reclusive immortals said that evil spirits usually choose to commit crimes in secluded, remote and desolate places, where there are many chaotic currents and gaps in space. Even if someone passes by and disappears, people would think that they were accidentally caught in the chaotic currents and gaps, and no body would be found."
Ni Jinxuan's voice was very clear, "These are what we collected when we reached the edge of the fairyland."
Not only Ni Jinxuan, Mo Lin and Yuan Ye, but also Cang Li, Feng Chao, and many, many people from the Supreme Sect scattered throughout the Immortal Realm.
They contacted each other through the disciple tokens of the Supreme Sect they carried with them, and learned that there was such a group of younger generations who wanted to find out the truth about the evil demon.
Even though they have long since met each other, they are still willing to take the initiative to go to dangerous areas around them, or write down what they have seen and heard, using their own spiritual aura to leave real-name texts to expose the dangers and crimes lurking in the margins.
They did not laugh at the young people who wanted to stop the chariot with their bare hands, nor did they think about whether these recorded things would eventually play a role, but they gave everything they could.
"In places that we immortal officials cannot see, there are many invisible lives passing away. They have nowhere to turn to and can only live their lives with caution. Perhaps there are also some evil spirits that travel to other worlds through the chaotic flow of space, but we just can't detect it."
"You are all in important positions, responsible for the movement and transformation of the sun, moon and stars, the clouds and rain, life and death, misfortune and blessing, but don't you see these not-so-small disasters? Is this the world that cannot function normally without you for a day?"
"You said that the evil spirits didn't hurt anyone and didn't cause any bad effects. It's just because you can't see them. It's not that they don't exist. Not only do they exist, but there are so many of them. There are so many that the immortal world has long since accepted it. The Heavenly Palace doesn't care and won't investigate."
Ni Jinxuan's eyes were bright, and she still looked as innocent as a teenager, but every word she spoke touched people's hearts.
Yuan Ye dutifully distributed the copy of the love letters of the hundred people to all the immortal officials, "Come, take a look, take a look, take a look at the real immortal world, come."
No one knew whether to accept or not accept the call. They all lowered their heads, unable to speak. For a moment, the only sounds were the sound of paper being clenched and the noise Yuan Ye made.
The Emperor of Heaven also received the paper, and his expression was obviously not happy.
"Lingwei, did you send your immortal officials to investigate this?"
Lin Du raised his eyebrows, "So what? Why not?"
She scanned the crowd, sensing the floating emotions of the individuals, "Some people think that the demon fetus has not shaken the world. It is just the death of some insignificant immortals on the edge. The damage is not great. It is not a major event that will shake the foundation of the Heavenly Palace."
Lin Du's voice was not impatient, it could even be described as soft and gentle, like the gurgling flow of melting ice in spring, but everyone present felt the pressing chill and bone-chilling coldness.
"But have you ever thought that there shouldn't be so much darkness, so much sin, and so many deaths in this world?"
"Innocence and persistence are never a sin, let alone madness."
“When the fairness and order established here are tacitly regarded by people as false and imaginary, it proves that the world order needs to be updated.”
The Immortal in Cang Yi looked down at the immortal officials and spoke like frost that fell overnight, "Are you right? Lord Emperor of Heaven?"
The Emperor met Lin Du's eyes but did not comment.
The fortune teller behind him had already spoken, "Lingwei Yuanjun, are you sure you can find out all the evil spirits? Using the red rope? Or your illusion of life?"
Lin Du landed on the ground. "As to whether the Floating Life Illusion can detect people with demon fetuses, my answer is yes."
She did not wait for the fortune teller to take out Kaiyang and refute her, and continued, "Of course it will, because Kaiyang was not an evil demon before he entered the illusion of floating life. If you don't believe it, please ask Kaiyang to enter the illusion of floating life again."
Everyone was shocked.
"Isn't Kaiyang dead?"
Lin Du took out a piece of soul-nourishing wood and took out Kaiyang's soul, "Kaiyang's soul is here."
"How is this possible! Don't demons have souls?" someone blurted out in astonishment.
Yaoguang looked at the soul in disbelief, "That... is indeed Kaiyang."
A water-colored figure walked behind Lin Du. Xia Tianwu raised his head, looked at the questioning immortal official, and explained, "When I was in the lower world, I worked with others to develop a spiritual liquid that can save souls from the demon fetus and the three poisons. As long as you are a soul that has entered the reincarnation cycle, you can still use it, and the effect is the same."
Others thought that the souls invaded by the three poisons would be destroyed together, but they did not expect that the holy water made from the tendons and spiritual fluid of a real dragon would naturally resist the three poisons and have a great corrosive ability on the body of an evil spirit. This was the divine power of the real dragon's flesh.
Yin Huaitian's soul and body were shattered by that blow, but he still sent his true dragon inner elixir, important scales and dragon tendons into the Dongming Realm.
All these things were obtained by the Posa royal family. Except for the inner elixir which entered Wei Zhi's body, the others were obtained by Wen Fu, who came later. He set up one scheme after another and used them to the extreme. Later, they were taken back one by one by Lin Du and Wei Zhi.
The one who truly dedicated himself completely and set the stage with his own body was Yin Huai Tian, the pioneer, the true dragon who would never yield even in death.
Therefore, Lin Du and Wei Zhi chose to let her unextinguished will watch this reckoning and change initiated by later generations before returning to the ruins.
Before returning to the ruins, there was a clear distinction.
Standing in front and behind Lin Du were Wei Zhi, Chu Guanmeng, Xia Tianwu, Ni Jinxuan, Mo Lin, Yuan Ye, and Cang Li, who had traveled thousands of miles to be forced to serve as the representative of the Supreme Sect.
Eight people were facing hundreds of immortal officials, countless different gazes, and the heavy pressure from several emperors.
But no one showed any fear; some of them were indifferent, some were cold, some were angry, some were smiling leisurely, but no one bowed their heads.
"Lingwei, are you really determined to do this?"
When Lin Du sent Kaiyang back into the illusion, the Emperor of Heaven suddenly asked.
Lin Du looked at the Emperor and nodded firmly, "Yes, I insist on doing so."
"Although I practice this way, I am unwilling to be with the world. However, Lingwei does not dare to have a heart that goes against the way. Now I should open up the chaos, eliminate evil spirits, and correct the heavenly principles."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven lowered his head again and remained silent.
Lin Du took out the Floating Life Fan and took a look at the virtual Kaiyang.
Kaiyang hesitated for a moment and was reluctant to go in.
Chu Guanmeng suddenly got angry, rushed forward, and punched three times, bang bang bang. The soul ball rolled and crawled into the illusion of floating life.
