Because a large number of scholars used the communication tokens, the news of the "Xu Huan Case" spread rapidly.

It quickly shocked a thousand cities of the Human Race on the Xinyi Continent, and families in various places were greatly shaken.

Even some holy lands with independent city-building qualifications and ancient great sects received the information in the depths of Desolate Mountains.

The major cultivators among the city residences of foreign races such as the Beast Race and Barbarian Race in deep mountains were also alarmed.

This is truly a world-shocking event!

Especially since it involved the foundations of the city wall, the batch of ancient sages who built the nation.

It is well known that this batch of ancient sages is the lifeline of the Jiushui Dynasty.

The nine city walls are even claimed to be unbreakable walls, capable of protecting the Nine-State for thousands and thousands of years.

Previously, even during the incident of the attack on the procession to the Capital City, no one thought that the wall would break.

Facts proved that it remained unbreakable.

Now, after the great war, even this wall merely showed a tiny breach, a scaly gate opening.

A gap of one three-thousandth, is that considered broken?

The unbreakable wall remains unbroken, maintaining the myth and safeguarding Human Race cities!

But now, in people's hearts... the wall has broken, with cracks emerging.

Countless people are fervently discussing this topic.

...

The newly built Changfeng Tavern.

A storyteller uses ink and pen to "embellish" the details of that battle and narrates it to the visiting tourists:

"That Nether River Sect Master, both righteous and evil, comes from a new spiritual root developed by the No-Life Sect..."

"His real identity, is actually the Vice Sect Leader of the No-Life Sect!"

"This new type of demon technique, specializes in birthing evil fetuses, absorbing evil thoughts to cultivate demon path cultivators!"

"It belongs to a kind of Yin Spirit Root, look at that presence, countless murmurs, wails, and screams, all are chaotic amalgamations of evil people's residual souls!"

The No-Life Sect, although harshly suppressed by the Court, actually has mixed evaluations among the populace, not too demonically evil as a sect.

They don't harm people, or massacre and plunder villages, only crazily preaches, leading people to worship Mother of Non-Life, seducing women into opening Clover, frantically birthing and killing babies to enhance aptitude.

Are those women foolish?

Many of them are willing.

Because many families fear that the children they invested in raising with everything will die prematurely when they open the Three Flowers.

Spending a lifetime earning money to finance the children's education, only to lose the savings and the child, is not something ordinary people can bear.

Any evil cult develops by targeting the need gaps in the lives of the lower classes.

At this time.

The storyteller stands high, as if witnessing firsthand:

"That Netherworld River of afterlife, judging good and evil."

"Hehehe, when us good people enter, it's peaceful, but if bad people enter..."

The old man deliberately pauses, his voice rising and falling, then suddenly deep and powerful:

"Those bad people, in the river, wash away heaps of sins, each evil shadow and soul bubble, that's all their seven major desires!"

"The Fang Family is truly vile, originally rampant officials and noble families, even kicking passing dogs, making local people dare to be angry but not confront…"

His tone rises and falls, speaks eloquently:

"Now that they fell in, we discover that their filth and dirtiness took up 99% of a person's soul, so washing off sins leaves only an empty shell!"

The storyteller, at the crucial points, is exhilarated, sometimes choking with emotion, making the audience below entranced and engrossed.

"Is there really such a demon technique in this world?"

Everyone marvels.

Passers-by all focus on him breaking the cage unjustly and saving Xu Huan, but those who truly know the inside story are chilled.

Xinyi Continent Battle, relying on that massive city wall, gave him all the limelight, the wall surprisingly became his aid.

From now on, everyone will need to be wary of their own city walls rebelling.

And which family doesn't have city walls?

Holy lands, major sects, and cities all have similar outer walls, divided into regions one layer at a time, forming a "回" character.

Now the city walls have all become aids for that person.

Many powerful hidden cultivators sitting quietly listening sigh deeply:

This Nether River Sect Master truly possesses immense ability, truly cannot be offended, cannot provoke!

...

Xinyi Continent City.

The inner ring of buildings has nearly shattered.

Xinyi Academy, Xinyi Royal Mansion, and even various large government institutions, almost all ancient buildings since the founding.

Renovated numerous times over tens of thousands of years.

And now, all these ancient buildings have been completely destroyed!

However, ultimately, they hold only historical significance.

The truly valuable items are all in storage bags, how could they be stored in the building's inventory?

Rebuilding the architecture is not difficult.

The toughest challenge now is the "Xu Huan Case" has already resonated throughout the Xinyi Continent.

Countless scholars demand a fair trial from the Court, and it has even reached the Capital City, reportedly reaching the Holy Emperor's ears.

Xinyi Family is the royal family of Xinyi Continent.

The Xinyi Baisan, the contemporary strongest Divine Craftsman who supports Sword Fairy, is a member of the Xinyi Family.

Now the second generation Xinyi King, named Xinyi Yun, has succeeded for tens of thousands of years, currently in his prime.

At this moment.

This Xinyi King, with a delicate and gentle appearance, takes a deep breath, sitting in the hall, looking at everyone.

"You really went behind my back, causing such a big event."

"Let me think, let me think."

These people are all his elders.

The ancient sages, their generational gap from him is too vast, previously he often dared not manage, nor could he.

He originally thought these old seniors wouldn't break taboos, but now he's underestimated them!

The ghosts, preserving their logic from when they were alive.

They are good in the general direction.

Cannot deny certain generals, greedy, love power, love wealth, love beauties, resent old humanity...

After all, this does not conflict with the concept of fighting for humanity.

Even after death, they still love wealth, love beauties, resent old humanity...

"What's there to think? It's just a small matter."

A cold voice interjects:

"In our era, don't know how many we killed, how many we enslaved! You little brat born after our founding."

"You haven't seen the world, less blood on your hands, so you care about these things, killing a few people, enslaving a few riffraff, why make it such a big deal?"

"In the family manor, we all watched you grow up, haven't we given you the best to eat and drink?"

Xinyi Yun took a deep breath and remained silent for a full ten minutes.

In the tomb, there are many generals and marshals who started as mere hooligans!

When they were still mortals, some were scholars, some farmers, some butchers, some cobblers...

They fought in the army, brawled, and abused prisoners...

They maintained the killing nature of that era; they were all stars of massacre, making that time flow with rivers of blood.

But...

The era has changed now.

Yet, most of their thoughts remain stuck in the death memories from around the founding period.

They hold onto the logic of their lifetimes, slaughtering the old humanity in their daily routine.

— Establish the nation by force, uphold the nation by rites.

Do these principles, do these sages not understand?

It's not that they don't understand.

They died in the past era, where their logic became rigid and unchangeable.

This is one of the historical stubborn ailments post-nation-founding!

The existence within the tomb maintains outdated views that appear very pedantic in this era, yet they point fingers with a high status, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Xinyi Yun's expression changed several times before he finally spoke: "Who all participated in this matter?"

"What, are you going to hold us accountable?" An explosive burly man with a fire spirit root suddenly stood up.

Beside him, a mature beauty in a white robe suddenly spoke.

"All of you quiet down, if mistakes were made, punishment is necessary... I've already asked, there are thirteen participants and thirty-seven aware of it."

When she spoke, those around fell silent.

The woman was the first-generation Xinyi King; she uttered a word and resumed her embroidery, her posture elegant and carefree, and continued without raising her head:

"There are seven breeding grounds in total, the Scaly Gate location is one of them, and unexpectedly a talent named Xu Huan emerged, assigned to Li Wanqi."

"Of course, in reality, those thirty-seven people only became aware of this matter a hundred years ago when Xu Huan erupted."

"These thirty-seven people ultimately chose to help conceal Xu Huan's uprising and have discussed countermeasures to cover the scandal."

The white-robed woman continued recounting the events.

Xinyi Yun remained silent, his fingertips tapping on the table: "It's even more than I imagined."

The first-generation Xinyi King barely managed to keep these people in check.

She was a War God from the founding period, a military leader, a true powerhouse who established herself as king by conquering lands; the others present were her soldiers.

However.

She cared only for battle, ignoring everything else.

Even if undying, her laid-back nature wouldn't choose to manage such a large city in this continent.

Some people are good at fighting, are a War God in their territory, but they don't like using their brains.

This war she's engaged in was merely an attack from afar.

She then continued to retreat, embroidering among city walls, drinking tea, and enjoying life, completely indifferent to external matters.

"Capture a group, suppress a group, kill a group... Just to appease those scholars." Xinyi Yun stayed silent, obliged to kill this batch of ancient heroes to uphold justice.

"You actually want to kill us?"

"Unfilial!"

The tempers exploded directly into curses.

Xinyi Yun's expression froze, his face growing increasingly unpleasant.

Killing them only resets things, returning memories to the instant of death, forgetting all these years of events.

This counts as severe punishment.

Eventually, this was the only option for punishment.

Beyond this, he lacked the power and prestige... If he provoked those within the city walls to completely oppose him, it could lead to major troubles.

Moreover.

Many of these founding heroes possessed Immunity Tokens, legally they merely abused the enslaved old humanity.

And their number isn't vast.

It's not treason, city destruction... those truly severe crimes.

Executing the thirteen masterminds is already the severest judgment he can make after weighing the options.

Afterward, he'll expel the Fang Family from other managing families, confiscate property, and exterminate their clan to appease the hearts of the people.

Xinyi Yun sighed, leaving the tomb area, returning to the inner circle, still having much to handle.

Everyone thought he could make unquestionable decisions in Xinyi Continent, the entire continent seemingly his one-man rule.

Actually, he faced too much constraint.

Many times.

Not only must he consider the sages in the tombs but also the secluded major sects and Holy Lands within Xinyi Continent.

He is the balancing core point of all forces.

Beside him, his attendants were an advisory official and a historian.

The historian was recording:

[Xinyi King, verbally sparred with Ancient Saints, was rebuked as unfilial, yet remained sternly unyielding, preferring the unfilial disgrace, and...]

Xinyi Yun silently thought, couldn't some parts be beautified? Remove the unfilial segment.

He already felt irritable, and the historical records wouldn't speak nicely, he should find a storyteller in a tavern to embellish the history slightly.

The advisory official then asked, "By the way, how to deal with Li Wanqi?"

"Wait for her resurrection." Xinyi Yun coldly replied.

Awakened, very promising.

Naturally wouldn't let go, herself one of the founding heroes.

Though the awakening of a Ghost was strictly forbidden before, now the era is different, it's crucial to leave some escape routes.

If there's a Ghost King belonging to the court, then some things become much easier.

"Just..."

Xinyi Yun pondered:

"Who exactly is that person? Why did Li Wanqi pass her Three Flowers to him after awakening?"

Ghost awakening only allows for the removal and transfer to another at the moment Three Flowers haven't formed completely.

Li Wanqi's actions were too unfathomable.

Giving it to an enemy.

She must certainly know him.

Then, who is he really?

Most probably an ancient existence.

Yet as a long-lived being herself, Li Wanqi's trajectory in life is too extensive, almost all ancient Great Cultivators know each other, where to start?

"Wait for her resurrection, although she won't remember, from her words, I can find the target group." He pondered silently.
