How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Two days later.

Royal Cinema Law Enforcement Hall.

"What other crimes have you committed?! Confess honestly!"

"I'm innocent! I, the Divine Ox, merely drank a couple of sips of water, nibbled on a flower, picked up two pieces of paper, and glanced at the ball. Am I to be arrested for all this? There's no law! I want to see Li Muyun! Call Li Muyun here!"

Three dark figures stood side by side in the courtroom, their faces obscured, one of whom was a large blue ox standing below the judge's bench.

Below the stage, the large blue ox was separated into four limbs, each bound by a thick, bucket-like chain, suspended high in the air, a scene resembling five horses separating an ox.

This enormous creature, standing at least three zhang tall, was suspended in the air, the veins on the sides of its head throbbing, its eyes wide open, and it kept muttering.

"Every word I, the Divine Ox, uttered is true, without the slightest falsehood! But your Imperial Cinema is truly inappropriate! Those spirit stones are placed right under the ox's feet, who can even see them? And the flowers are just casually placed there, aren't they just for the ox to eat!"

"Noisy."

Yin Xuanwu flicked his fingertip, and the chains tightened suddenly, the breath of the Nether Dragon exerting its power.

The big blue ox let out a mournful howl.

She wore a dark-colored cheongsam with subtle patterns, the collar and cuffs embroidered with a dark image of Xuanwu (a mythical tortoise), prostrate on the ground, eyes wide open in anger, exuding a fierce and menacing aura.

His handsome brows were tightly furrowed, his expression one of shock and anger, showing none of the gentleness and tenderness he had shown towards the big blue ox a few days ago. His coldness was almost piercing.

"What a glib-tongued beast! You keep calling yourself a divine ox, showing utter contempt for the imperial court's authority. I, the steward, will give you a chance!"

Three dark figures on the stage opened their mouths and spoke at the same time, repeating the same words three times in a daze. Upon closer listening, one could hear the power of curses and resentment emanating from them.

"Convict! Punish!"

A dark figure on the stage let out a sharp screech, a large seal crashed to the ground, the sound of a token falling to the ground echoed, and a stream of light suddenly struck the giant blue ox.

"Ow!"

The big blue ox grunted. It thought the attack was powerful, but it only felt like a tickle. It was all bark and no bite, and it didn't do any harm.

Yin Xuanwu frowned, somewhat surprised. Could it be that he had misunderstood this dead ox?

The power of the deacon to determine guilt and punish, under the protection of the Royal Cinema, is almost a law; how could it be ineffective?

The three deacons' faces turned ashen at the same time.

This beast confessed everything honestly, and it was exactly as he said, and exactly as he said, that he drank two sips of water and ate a flower...

But that water was the very water from the Dean's own spiritual essence, which directly polluted the entire water source. No wonder it tasted strange to me.

As for that flower, it is the Brahma Shadow Flower, which cleanses and calms the mind. Yin and Yang Guardians move in the darkness, and one must have a heart that can endure loneliness. This Brahma Shadow Flower is an excellent tool to assist them.

The Yin-Yang Guardians have always bowed respectfully and inhaled the fragrance of the Brahma Flower to achieve enlightenment. But this dead ox swallowed the Brahma Flower whole.

The other two pieces of paper are a list of odds for gambling matches in various places, showing where the behind-the-scenes manipulations occur, who wins and who loses, and who can profit from them.

Such secrets concern the reputation of the Royal Casino and must not be leaked. Yet this ox picked up these two pieces of paper. Who knows what his intentions are?

What's even more infuriating is that precious pearl; it even said it was worth taking a look at! Damn it!

The deacon slammed his gavel, and the auras of the three figures solidified, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

A figure ran in, bowed to Yin Xuanwu, and whispered a few words to him.

Yin Xuanwu paused, his expression still cold and sinister, and bowed to the steward above.

“Sir, the owner of this ox, Li Muyun, has returned. Why don’t we summon Li Muyun and question him as well? Is this a case of the master and servant conspiring to overthrow the regime?”

The three deacons nodded simultaneously, stroking their beards shrouded in shadow, their faces still obscured.

Li Muyun walked in front of the fully martial law-bound Royal Cinema with a look of surprise and confusion.

The Imperial Cinema, which could previously be entered freely with the Yin-Yang Token in his possession, is now inaccessible again.

What on earth is this doing?

I just started working here a day ago. Didn't I already complete the Qiji admission process? Why can't I get in now?

"You are Li Muyun?"

A haughty voice rang out, emanating from someone dressed in black, wearing a blue dragon mask, standing straight as a pine tree, exuding an imposing aura, who coldly asked.

Li Muyun frowned, but didn't say anything more, and nodded.

"Come with me. Your mount has committed a heinous crime and is currently on trial in the Deacon's Hall. Your charges are pending, and you remain a suspect!"

A group of men in black leaped out from behind the Azure Dragon Mask. A total of twelve shadow guards stood in place, their magical artifacts gleaming with a faint cold light. They stared coldly at Li Muyun, extremely vigilant.

"Disarm!"

Azure Dragon Mask's eyes turned cold as he glanced at the Devouring Creation Sword behind Li Muyun and spoke in a chilling voice.

Li Muyun frowned as he watched this scene, his heart filled with mixed feelings and a surge of rage. He wished he could kill that mad bull with a single sword stroke. He had only been away for two days, yet he had gotten himself into this mess.

However, the situation was beyond his control, so he could only take the Devouring Creation Sword from his back and hand it to the Azure Dragon Mask.

Just as the Azure Dragon Mask was about to touch the Devouring Creation Sword, he withdrew his hand, glanced at Li Muyun with surprise, and then flicked his hand away.

"Carry it on your back."

Li Muyun, unsuspecting, slung the Devouring Creation Sword over his shoulder again and strode into the Imperial Cinema with the others.

"My lord! Li Muyun has been brought here!"

The Azure Dragon Mask stepped into the Hall of Enforcement, announced his arrival in a loud voice, and then stepped aside to stand silently.

"You are Li Muyun!"

Before Li Muyun could even grasp the situation on the field, the steward's voice boomed like thunder, making Li Muyun's heart tremble.

"It is indeed Li Muyun!"

"Young Li, you've finally arrived! You have to save me! I didn't do anything, but I got this beating. This Royal Cinema is no place for an ox!"

"Shut up!"

Yin Xuanwu frowned, his hands forming a tight hand seal, and a burst of talismanic light surged forth, sewing the mouth of the large blue ox shut.

Even though the big blue ox struggled and rolled in mid-air, stammering, it still couldn't utter a word.

Li Muyun first bowed to the head steward, then to Yin Xuanwu, before asking the question.

"I have been away for two days and do not know what the dead ox has done wrong. Please tell me in detail, sir."

"You really don't know?"

The head steward's voice turned cold, carrying a hint of questioning, his tone sharp yet imposing.

Li Muyun remained unmoved and simply nodded.

"I don't know."

Yin Xuanwu, who was standing solemnly to the side, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

If one can say one doesn't know when questioned by the deacon, then one naturally doesn't know the dead ox's crimes. Now it seems that it was all because the dead ox was unruly and misbehaving.

So he recounted all of the big blue ox's crimes in detail.

The first three items are not very significant, but the fourth item, the precious pearl, is a matter of life and death.

The entire Royal Cinema might face punishment and accountability!
