When Huo Shanjun and Madam Mingrui were bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, they finally realized what was happening. Huo Shanjun hurriedly asked, "Master Hongqing, why is this happening?"
Fang Jian unfolded the magic weapon in front of Huo Shanjun and said, "Huo Shanjun, do you recognize this?"
Huo Shanjun stared at the decree in front of him, and the more he read, the more frightened he became. When he saw the Shangshu seal at the end of the decree, his pupils constricted instantly.
"This is fake!" Huo Shanjun shouted at Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, I have never issued such a decree."
Fang Jian said calmly, "Is the Shangshu seal on it also fake?"
"This..." Huo Shanjun was speechless, and Fang Jian continued, "Did you know that all the immortal officials and divine mansions in the entire Southern Continent have this decree? Did you know that all the talismans and powders of the immortal officials and divine mansions in the entire Southern Continent have been sold according to this decree for over half a month?"
Huo Shanjun's entire body went limp upon hearing this, his face turning pale and his lips trembling. Madam Mingrui, on the other hand, looked at Fang Jian and said, "Master Hongqing, this must be a frame-up! Someone has framed me!"
Fang Jian heard this and said calmly, "Whether it's a frame-up or not, I will investigate it myself."
Then he waved his hand and said, "Bring all of Huo Shanjun's family members to Heaven. Don't leave any one behind."
"We obey the order." The thunder soldiers and generals bowed and accepted the order.
Not long after, all seventeen members of Huo Shanjun's family were arrested, including Huo Lin, a little girl about the same age as Yi Xiao.
Huo Lin was wearing a fairy dress adorned with shredded snow-white flowers. Her young face still held a trace of sleepiness and confusion. She was bound with a fairy rope and then led by a thunder soldier to the front yard. As she walked, she called out to the thunder soldier in front of her, "Big Brother, walk slower! Lin Lin can't keep up."
When Huo Lin arrived at the front yard, she saw her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and other relatives all there, all tied up with immortal ropes. Bewildered, she immediately asked, "Grandpa and grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you playing some game?"
At this time, the entire Huo family, except for Huo Shanjun and his wife, was already crying and wailing. Huo Shanjun couldn't help but tremble when he heard Huo Lin's voice. He looked at Fang Jian with pleading eyes and said, "Master Hongqing, please have mercy on her. She is just an ignorant child..."
Fang Jian glanced at Huo Lin, then said to the Lei Bing who was guarding Huo Lin, "Untie the immortal ropes that bind her."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Lei Bing immediately waved his hand to remove the restraints on Huo Lin. Huo Lin felt a sense of relief and quickly ran to Huo Shanjun's side, hugged Huo Shanjun's thighs and asked, "Grandpa, where is Mom?"
Huo Shanjun shook his head with tears in his eyes. At this time, Fang Jian had already ordered Huitian. The seventeen members of the Huo family immediately lined up in a row and were escorted out of Huiyan Palace.
"Master Hongqing, we are still missing one person." Kuang Yan came to Fang Jian and said.
Fang Jian frowned and asked, "Who?"
Kuang Yan said, "Huo Ping, the son of Huo Shanjun."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately called Yi Qian over. "General Zhenshan," Fang Jian said with a bow.
Yi Qian quickly returned the greeting and said, "What are your instructions, Master Hongqing?"
Fang Jian asked, "Do you know where Huo Ping is?"
Yi Qian was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Master Hongqing, I'm truly unaware of this matter. Huo Ping is a frivolous and dissolute man. He loves to ride eagles and do the things of a dandy boy..."
At this point, Yi Qian froze in shock, then he suddenly said, "Master Hongqing, could the decree be from Huo Ping..."
"It's difficult to make a judgment since Huo Ping hasn't been caught yet. General Zhenshan, you must immediately pass down the order. The entire Nanyue Prefecture must immediately block the news of Huo Shanjun and his family being arrested. No information can be leaked at all." Fang Jian said.
Upon hearing this, Yi Qian immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
Afterwards, Fang Jian led the thunder soldiers and generals and escorted the seventeen members of the Huo family back to Yan Palace.
When Yi Xiao, who was standing at the jade steps outside Huiyan Palace, saw familiar faces being escorted out with their heads down and tears in their eyes, he was also puzzled.
At the same time, Yi Xiao also saw Huo Lin in the middle of the team. Huo Lin was following behind her mother, Princess Narcissus, who had been in a daze since she woke up from her coma.
"Xiao Linlin." Yi Xiao called out quickly, then ran up in small steps.
"Xiaoxiao!" Huo Lin suddenly looked up and saw Yi Xiao. She wanted to run out of the team, but Lei Bing next to her stopped her mercilessly. Huo Lin could only reach out to Yi Xiao.
Yi Xiao also quickly stretched out his chubby little hand. Just as the two hands were about to be held together like they did in the past, Yi Xiao's little hand suddenly disappeared from Huo Lin's eyes.
Huo Lin looked up and saw that it was the usually amiable "Grandpa Yi" who carried Yi Xiao away.
"Xiaoxiao..." Huo Lin called out.
Yi Xiao heard Huo Lin's voice from Yi Qian's arms and called out, "Xiao Linlin, where are they taking you? When will you be back?"
"I don't know." Huo Lin shouted as she walked away, "I don't know where I'm going. Xiaoxiao, we can play together later."
"Yes, Xiao Linlin, I'll wait for you to come back." Yi Xiao started crying as he spoke, "Daddy, I want Xiao Linlin, I want Xiao Linlin!"
Yi Qian quickly hugged Yi Xiao and comforted him. Under the majesty of the Heavenly Law, all he could do was to protect his family from being implicated. As for others, he could not save them and did not have the ability to do so.
So what if they were super-grade immortal officials? So what if they were powerful and influential? As long as they violated the heavenly rules, no matter how large their family or power was, it would collapse in an instant.
