Chapter 389: Expose and Report, Make Meritorious Efforts
There are four major prisons in heaven, namely the Heavenly Prison, Thunder City, Tianhe Water Prison and Demon-Suppressing Tower.
Leicheng imprisons evil spirits, the Demon-Suppressing Tower suppresses evil monsters, and the Tianhe Water Prison imprisons extremely dangerous criminals from the three realms.
Compared with the other three prisons, Tianlao seems a bit ordinary.
Most of the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison are minor criminals and suspects, and most of them are immortals who have violated the Heavenly Laws.
The jailer of the Heavenly Prison is a rotation of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. Most of the prisoners captured by Li Jing and his heavenly soldiers and generals will be sent to the Heavenly Prison for imprisonment.
Now that Wen Rui has seized Li Jing's position as Marshal of the Heavenly Army, the Heavenly Prison is naturally under his jurisdiction.
Inside the Tianlao Tianxing Prison, there are four immortal-locking pillars standing side by side. These four pillars are also magic weapons. The prisoners tied to the pillars with immortal ropes cannot use their immortal power, and the more they struggle, the tighter the restraints become.
Hanging on four pillars were four immortals, three men and one woman.
Two of them are True Man Zi Yang and Fairy Han Yuan.
The other two are the new leaders of the Yuding Immortal Sect and the Jinting Immortal Sect.
Those two unlucky fellows replaced the previous leader who ascended to become a god, but before they could even get comfortable sitting on the throne of the leader, they were tricked into the cold prison of heaven and suffered this unexpected disaster.
The four immortals looked ashen and decadent, with empty and confused eyes.
There was a sound of iron chains colliding, and the door of Tianxing Prison slowly opened. Wen Rui walked in with square steps.
The four immortals looked in the direction of the voice and saw him walk in, all of them looked extremely excited.
"It's unfair, I really don't know anything!"
"I am wronged too. It is too unfair. I have only been the head of the sect for less than 20 years. If the Jade Ding Immortal Sect is really involved in a case, it must have been done by the previous head of the sect!"
The two unlucky strangers were the first to cry out for justice. Their cries were so miserable that it sounded like they really had been wronged.
Wen Rui, however, turned a deaf ear to them and thought it was too noisy. He winked at the jailer beside him, and the jailer controlled the Immortal Locking Pillar to use its magical power. An iron cover popped out from the pillar and covered the heads of the two immortals who were crying out for injustice, making it impossible for them to make any sound.
"Master Wen, I have never offended you. I even wanted to send my disciple to you as a concubine. I can't wait to make friends with you."
Fairy Han Yuan was about to cry, and said pitifully: "Please have mercy and forgive me. I really don't know what crime I have committed."
True Man Zi Yang was the one with the worst mental state among the four immortals. He was also the one who suffered the most torture and was beaten the worst.
Now he is on his last legs, his life lamp is dim and almost out of fuel.
Who made him take out the Hunyuan Banner and try to escape in front of Princess Longji? Wen Rui did not specifically order anyone to torture him, but the impatient Princess Longji took the initiative to come and test him, trying to pry something out of his mouth so as to quickly find out the whereabouts of the Seven Fairies.
"Alas, both of you are my old friends in the mortal world. I would like to help you clear your suspicion."
Wen Rui said sincerely: "It is unbearable that the emperor has ordered me to do this, the law is unforgiving, and it is difficult to be both loyal and righteous."
As if giving earnest advice, Wen Rui continued, "If you know any secrets, just tell them out quickly. Don't hold it back. I just asked the chief of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, and he said, tut tut, the Heavenly Court is really good at torturing people. There are so many ways to torture people. It's obvious that they have learned from the advanced experience of the Infernal Hell."
Fairy Han Yuan cried, "But, I really don't know anything!" Wen Rui pretended to be kind and said, "This emperor will teach you a lesson. If you want to suffer less, just say whatever you know. As long as you are willing to speak, no matter if you say something to the point or not, the jailer will not make things difficult for you."
Fairy Han Yuan was still a little confused, and pleaded, "I am stupid, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
Wen Rui persuaded him earnestly, "You can report and expose the truth. Tell us about the suspicious aspects of other immortal sects and the crimes they committed in the past. If you don't know anything, tell us what you know. Providing clues for the investigation of the case will be a meritorious service. It will also help us find the real culprit quickly, close the case, and clear your name."
"So that's how it is. I understand." Fairy Han Yuan suddenly realized and said anxiously, "I will report that Liu Weigu, the immortal elder of Ziyang Immortal Sect, is a hypocritical person on the surface, but he is actually a lustful person!"
Wen Rui immediately became interested: "Oh? There is such a thing, tell me in detail, tell me in detail!"
"That old pervert took advantage of the opportunity when the Yunxiao and Ziyang sects were exploring the secret realm together to secretly drug a beautiful female disciple of our sect and sneaked in when the female disciple was confused and distracted."
Fairy Han Yuan complained, "He even shamelessly claimed that it was a female disciple of my sect who seduced him in order to climb up the social ladder. I went to True Man Zi Yang to seek justice, but he deliberately protected me. In the end, I only had to pay a few million spirit stones to settle the matter."
"In this peaceful and clear world, how could a person who has achieved enlightenment through cultivation do such an ugly thing?"
Wen Rui had a surprised expression, frowned and shook his head: "Brother Ziyang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you still feel wronged. You are not wronged at all, you deserve it."
Master Zi Yang, who was already filled with sorrow and despair, laid down with a face ready to be ridiculed, rolled his eyes and did not argue.
He was indeed wronged. The accusation of kidnapping a fairy was completely nonsense.
But now it is difficult to defend oneself, because Fairy Hanyuan’s accusation is an ironclad fact.
In a sect with many male disciples, isn't it normal for there to be a few scum with bad character but extraordinary talents?
The standards for accepting disciples set by the founder have too high qualifications. If other standards are not relaxed, how can the Zi Yang Immortal Sect grow and develop? It will not be able to recruit qualified disciples at all.
"Besides Ziyang Immortal Sect, can we report other immortal sects?"
Wen Rui continued to inquire: "In fact, your Yunxiao Immortal Sect is the least suspicious. After all, your sect has many female disciples. If you can report and provide clues, not only will you be forgiven, but you will also be rewarded. If this emperor can solve the case, there will be a great reward."
"Yes!" Fairy Han Yuan came to life and said resolutely, "In fact, as a female fairy, I have been managing a weak sect for so many years. I have endured countless humiliations and sacrificed countless female disciples in vain! There are also many beasts in human form hidden in the Yuding Immortal Sect and the Jinting Immortal Sect. Maybe they are so bold that they have united and conspired to kidnap the fairy."
"Don't worry, just expose it boldly, I, Wen Qingtian, will take care of it for you!"
Wen Rui patted his chest and said indignantly: "I don't care how strong the backers of the three major immortal sects are. No matter how strong they are, they are not as strong as me. I will expose all the filth to the world and pull out all the scum hidden among the righteous cultivators. I will never be shy about it again for the sake of the Venerable and I will not give face to anyone!"
Wen Rui is not a righteous man. He is actually just muddying the waters and delaying time.
Now that they have successfully tricked the leaders of the four major immortal sects and all the immortal elders into the Heavenly Palace and imprisoned them, the Jinling Immortal Sect has directly jumped to the position of the number one immortal sect in the Southern Continent.
Just relying on the group of worthless disciples from the four great immortal sects who were still in the mortal world and had not yet transcended the tribulation, Fairy He Lingyun was able to suppress them all with just a bird and a sword.
Since the end of the Conferred God War, there has never been a period when the Jiejiao forces in the Southern Continent were so strong.
Every day Wen Rui delayed, the Jinling Immortal Sect's expansion would become more rapid.
If it could be delayed for a few hundred years, by the time the immortals from the four major sects were released and returned home, I'm afraid that the Southern Continent would have been completely changed, and the Jinling Immortal Sect would have trained tens of thousands of immortal disciples.
