I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Lei Yi's heart trembled. The name Dongfang Liuli loomed like a huge rock, stirring up a turbulent wave in his calm heart. He had seen this name before in the original novel. She was a key figure driving the plot, possessing formidable power and a mysterious background. However, he didn't understand why Dongfang Liuli was here, and why she was speaking for him.

"Miss Dongfang, what are you doing..." Sect Leader Lu frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Dongfang Liuli ignored Master Lu's questioning and just glanced at him calmly before pulling Lei Yi out of the hall. Master Lu wanted to stop them but was stopped by Dongfang Liuli's cold eyes. He could only watch them leave.

"Miss Dongfang, why are you helping me?" When the two came to a secluded place, Lei Yi finally couldn't help but ask.

"I believe you." Dongfang Liuli's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable firmness.

Lei Yi was deeply moved. He knew how precious it was that someone was still willing to believe him at this moment. He took a deep breath, suppressed his doubts and uneasiness, and began to discuss with Dongfang Liuli how to find out the truth.

Dongfang Liuli suggested that Lei Yi start with those villagers and secretly investigate whether they were instructed by someone. Lei Yi accepted her suggestion. He concealed his presence and quietly sneaked into the villagers' homes, carefully observing their words and actions.

After several days of covert investigation, Lei Yi discovered that while these villagers appeared honest on the surface, their eyes flickered, as if they were deliberately hiding something. Furthermore, in one of the villagers' homes, Lei Yi discovered a jade pendant engraved with a unique pattern, a pattern he had previously seen on a small faction called "Black Wind Village."

The Black Wind Village was a bandit organization that made a living by plundering and looting. They often roamed the fringes of the Qingyun Sect's sphere of influence, acting ruthlessly and committing all manner of evil. Lei Yi's mind fluttered. Could the Black Wind Village be behind this? He shared his findings with Dongfang Liuli, who, upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. "Looks like we'll have to go and meet the Black Wind Village..."

As night fell, two dark figures quietly sneaked into the Black Wind Village...

Black Wind Village nestled against the mountainside, its gates ablaze with lights, patrols pacing the area, and the security was tight. Dongfang Liuli, like a ghost, slipped silently past the patrols and into the village. Lei Yi followed closely behind, holding his breath, not daring to be careless.

The two men sneaked into the village chief's room, searching for clues. Dongfang Liuli, with her sharp eyes, discovered a secret compartment and found a letter. The letter contained little information, but it confirmed Lei Yi's suspicions: Black Wind Village was being manipulated to spread rumors in order to discredit him and prevent him from receiving support from Sect Leader Lu.

The letter didn't mention the mastermind behind the incident, but Lei Yi had a guess in his mind. He put the letter away and was about to leave when he heard a sudden noise of footsteps outside the door.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Lei Yi's face changed and he said in a low voice.

Dongfang Liuli calmly observed the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "We can't stay here for long. Let's get out of here first!"

The two men broke through the window, but the Black Wind Village's minions had already surrounded the courtyard. In the light of the torches, ferocious faces approached, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

"Where to escape!"

The leader, holding a long knife, slashed at Lei Yi with a ferocious look on his face. Lei Yi dodged and struck the man in the chest with a backhand palm. The man screamed and flew backwards.

"kill him!"

The minions rushed forward, and Lei Yi fought and retreated, but he was outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand. Dongfang Liuli saw this, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes. She drew her sword, and the sword light was like a rainbow, and she killed several minions in an instant.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" A cold voice came from behind the crowd, and a burly man in black walked out slowly. He stared at Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli with a sinister look, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It's the second in command of the Black Wind Village!" Lei Yi's heart trembled. He knew that it would not be easy to escape unscathed today.

"Miss Dongfang, let's break out separately!" Lei Yi made a prompt decision. He knew that only in this way would there be a glimmer of hope.

Dongfang Liuli nodded, and the two stood back to back, preparing to break out. Just then, Lei Yi suddenly spotted a pile of dry firewood not far away, and an idea struck him. Seizing the opportunity, he kicked one of his minions toward the firewood, then quickly gathered his spiritual energy and struck out with a palm strike in its direction.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the pile of dry firewood was ignited by Lei Yi's palm power, and a raging fire instantly broke out. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire Black Wind Village.

"Ah! It's on fire!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

The minions immediately became chaotic. Lei Yi took advantage of the chaos to pull up Dongfang Liuli and rushed towards the place where the fire was the brightest.

"Want to leave? Dream on!" The second in command roared, waving the big knife in his hand and chasing after Lei Yi.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, running off into the distance without looking back. Behind them, flames from Black Wind Village shot up into the sky, and screams and roars filled the air.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli ran furiously until dawn, finally shaking off their pursuers and resting in a cave. Lei Yi pulled out the letter, a look of determination on his weary face: "I will find out the truth and clear my name!" Dongfang Liuli nodded, a determined glint in her beautiful eyes...

Lei Yi carefully placed the letter in his arms. He looked at Dongfang Liuli with a firm gaze, "Let's go. Let's go back to see Sect Leader Lu."

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli returned to their residence and, after a brief rest, set off for the Qingyun Sect, where Sect Leader Lu was stationed. Lei Yi presented the letter he had found in Black Wind Village to Sect Leader Lu. While the letter didn't name anyone, it hinted that someone had instigated Black Wind Village to discredit Lei Yi in order to prevent him from gaining Sect Leader Lu's support.

"Master Lu, this letter is enough to prove my innocence!" Lei Yi said sincerely, his eyes full of anticipation.

Sect Leader Lu took the letter and read it carefully, his brow furrowing slightly. He placed the letter on the table and said slowly, "Master Lei, this letter does have some suspicious aspects, but this letter alone is not enough to prove your innocence, nor can it reveal the mastermind behind this."

Lei Yi's heart sank. He knew Sect Leader Lu was a cautious person, but he hadn't expected him to be so distrustful. "So, Sect Leader Lu, what evidence do you think I need to prove my innocence?"

"At least, you need to find out who wrote this letter and who is the mastermind behind it." Master Lu's tone was calm, but revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Lei Yi took a deep breath, suppressing the rage within him. He knew now was not the time to argue with Sect Leader Lu. He said his farewell, but a raging fire ignited within him. He vowed to uncover the truth, redress his grievances, and make those who had framed him pay!

However, the development of the matter exceeded Lei Yi's expectations. After learning that Lei Yi was investigating the matter, those small forces that spread rumors not only did not restrain themselves, but instead intensified their lies, fabricating more and more outrageous lies, portraying Lei Yi as an unforgivable villain.

For a time, rumors about Lei Yi in the martial arts world intensified, and some people even began to point fingers at him and avoid him. Wherever Lei Yi went, he could feel the strange looks from those around him, as if he were some kind of monster.

"Lei Yi, stop wasting your energy. You can't clear yourself of the charges!" A familiar voice sounded in Lei Yi's ears, its tone full of sarcasm and complacency.

Lei Yi turned around suddenly and saw...

Lei Yi turned around suddenly and saw a familiar yet disgusting face - Zhao Qi, the young man from a noble family who had a grudge against him and opposed him in every way.

"Why, are you angry because I was right?" Zhao Qi said with a gloating look on his face. "I advise you to just accept your fate. You can't beat us!"

Lei Yi looked at Zhao Qi coldly, with flames of anger flashing in his eyes, but he ignored Zhao Qi's provocation. He knew that the most important thing now was not to argue with Zhao Qi, but to find evidence to prove his innocence.

However, those who spread rumors seemed determined to kill Lei Yi. Not only did they make up all kinds of lies, they also secretly instigated some people from the underworld to attack Lei Yi. For a time, Lei Yi was in a situation where he was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

"Mr. Lei, are you okay?" Dongfang Liuli looked at the bruised Lei Yi with worry in her eyes.

"I'm fine," Lei Yi shook his head, his tone firm, "I must find evidence and expose their true colors!"

Dongfang Liuli looked at Lei Yi's determined eyes, her heart full of admiration. She knew that Lei Yi was a man who would not give up easily. As long as he was determined to do something, he would stick to it to the end.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. By chance, Lei Yi heard a startling piece of news in an inn outside the city. That day, several people from the underworld were drinking and chatting in the inn, and one of them accidentally revealed that he had been instructed to spread rumors about Lei Yi, and the person who instructed him was Zhao Qi!

Lei Yi's heart moved. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he could find this person, he could follow the clues and find out the truth!

He quietly followed these gangsters and finally found the person who spread the rumor in a remote alley. After some coercion and inducement, the person finally told the truth and handed over the token given to him by Zhao Qi as evidence.

Lei Yi was filled with excitement as he held the token. He knew he had finally found the crucial evidence that would prove his innocence. He immediately set off for the Qingyun Sect. He wanted to tell Sect Master Lu everything and show him Zhao Qi's true colors.

"Master Lu, this is what happened..." Lei Yi recounted in detail how he discovered the truth and how he found the evidence, and handed the token to Master Lu.

Sect Leader Lu took the token, examined it carefully, and his expression gradually became solemn...
