    A once-lively young man was now on hisst breaths.


    His arms and legs were broken, and his body was covered in horrifying wounds.


    The sight of these wounds made Yiyi even more furious.


    Thorned vines whipped the body of Young Master Bai, ying off his skin and flesh. This Bai Zhanjun had never suffered such pain before and began to cry in pain, even pissing his pants.


    The other members of the Bai n also cried and pleaded for mercy. Even the slowest among them knew that the butterfly was the cause of this disaster. The Bai n patriarch shouted, "It''s all the fault of my dog son! Immortal Fairy, kill him if you must, but the rest of us are innocent!"


    Yiyi grunted and pointed at Er Hu. "You make things sound nice, but look at his wounds. Are you saying you know nothing about it?"


    All of them fell silent.


    They naturally knew about where Er Hu hade from, or else they wouldn''t have beaten him so brutally. The Bai n considered him as some oaf from the countryside who needed to be taught a harsh lesson for daring to provoke the Bai n. They had never imagined that this would incur the wrath of a savage god, against whom even the Immortal Master they had hired at high price was no match and was captured in one stroke.


    The entire Bai Estate had been turned into a dense jungle that blotted out the sky. Such divine abilities were unheard of, and everyone was paralyzed with fear and could only beg for mercy.


    But Yiyi wasn''t going to just let them go. Her rare opportunity to do a good deed had be their cmity, and her unprecedented anger had turned her into a demon. She had her vines madly whip away at them until they were at the brink of death.


    As she was whipping away, a group suddenly flew out from the distance, led by a white-robed officer. All ten of the soldiers behind him were cultivators, but their cultivation level was very low, only at Spirit Disciple. Upon reaching the Bai Estate, the officer barked, "Who dares to cause chaos in the Bai Estate? Submit to capture ande with me to see the magistrate!"


    Relief and joy appeared on the faces of the Bai n people.


    In Fengshan, the country was supreme, and it wasmon for cultivators to be court officials, nobles, or generals. This small team was an official force meant specifically for dealing with cultivator problems, and it was called the Celestial Pivot Guard.


    The Celestial Pivot Guardmanded high prestige and authority in Fengshan, and their strength was great. This white-robed officer was only a bannerman of the Celestial Pivot Guard, not of particrly high status, but he was quite intimidating. He thought that the other party would submit the moment he arrived, but to his surprise, Yiyi looked up at him and said, "Your magistrate? I do n to see him. Of the six lives Daoxiang Vige lost, the Bai Estate took only two while your magistrate took three. If I don''t have a proper talk with him, how can I possibly go back to Daoxiang Vige with my head held high?"


    The officer was startled. "What did you say?"


    Yiyi stood up and pointed at the sky. "But before that, you should just stay right here!"


    Countless vines shot out of the jungle at the white-robed officer. The officer backed away in shock, but he was just too slow. The vines instantly wrapped around him, and even though the officer circted his energy in an attempt to break free, all this did was make the vines wrap around him more tightly, almost choking the breath out of him. Yiyi drew back her hand, and the vines pulled that squad of eleven into the jungle, hanging them up together with the Bai n so that people could point at them.


    The Bai n had thought that the bannerman would be their savior, but he had also been captured by Yiyi in a single strike, and they despaired. But some of them were actually happy—offending the Bai n and offending the Celestial Pivot Guard were twopletely different things. No matter how strong this little girl was, there was no way she could deal with the countless experts of the Celestial Pivot Guard.


    Yiyi didn''t seem to care about this. After seizing the officer''s squad, she began to think. She then said, "Your magistrate''s ruling was unjust, so you must have taken silver from the Bai n. Today, thisdy will have this case reheard."


    The flower pce turned into a courthouse, with a signboard that dered "The Bright Mirror of Justice Sees All". Several green roses took the forms of bailiffs, but they had the appearance of women. Looking at each other, theyughed and gracefully stood to the side. Theycked the intimidating aura of ordinary bailiffs, exchanging it for the enchanting allure of a woman.


    The Mystic Flora Regalia turned into the clothes of a government official, and Yiyi extended her right hand, upon which a fruit growing from a flowering vine jumped into her hand and became a gavel. She brought her hand down, and the tree trunk that the gavel struck became a desk, upon which she shouted, "Court is in session!"


    "Hah!" The female bailiffs shouted in unison, but their voicescked a little oomph.


    Yiyi shouted, "Today, this official will rehear the case concerning the fight between Daoxiang Vige and the Bai Estate. Bring forth the victim, Er Hu of Daoxiang Vige!"


    Two bailiffs brought Er Hu forward, a tform of vines raising him high into the air so that the questioning process could be seen by everyone in the city.


    The medicine Yiyi had given Er Hu had healed many of his wounds. He immediately prostrated before Yiyi and shouted, "Immortal Fairy, thank you for saving my life!"


    Yiyi raised a hand. "Do not discuss unrted matters. Let us focus on the case first. Er Hu, exin everything that happened to Daoxiang Vige. Today, this official will go before all of the people of Changping Prefecture and seek justice!"


    Er Hu''s eyes brightened. "Yes!"


    As he began to exin everything, a spell art magnified his voice so that everyone could hear.


    When he began to talk about the unjust judgment of the magistrate, and the casual disregard for human life that led to the vige losing seven lives, Er Hu loudly wept.


    The listening popce of Changping Prefecture were in tears themselves.


    Yiyi mmed the gavel. "Bring up the criminal, Bai Zhanjun!"


    Two bailiffs were about to bring him up when a group of fierce individuals flew over, led by a dark-faced man with a mountain-cleaving saber. Behind him were three officers and more than a hundred soldiers. The dark-faced man shouted, "Audacious fiend woman, daring to cause trouble in Changping Prefecture, taking a respectable family hostage and setting up your own court!"


    The white-robed officer from before excitedly shouted, "Bannerholder Wang, save this lowly one!"


    "''Taking a respectable family hostage and setting up my own court''?" Yiyi''s eyes shed with murder.


    She looked at the dark-faced man and said, "That''s a pretty good usation. It seems to me like you''re in cahoots with them!"


    She waved a hand, and more vines flew out at this new group.


    But the officer this time was much more powerful.


    The dark-faced man barked and waved his saber, cutting down the vines and preventing them from getting close.


    "Go, Bannerholder Wang!" the people from the Bai Estate cheered.


    The other people Yiyi had fought had all been captured with one strike of the vines, so when this man managed to block this move, everyone saw a ray of sunlight.


    Yiyi snorted. "Those who interrupt this official will not be lightly forgiven!"


    She mmed the gavel down.


    The entire jungle swayed, dislodging countless petals that floated into the sky. They gathered into a great torrent, a mighty dragon that charged at the dark-faced man.


    The Silkheaven Net.


    As Yiyi''s natural spell art, it had grown stronger as Yiyi advanced to Transformation, and even a Spirit Ring True Person might find it difficult to take.


    The dark-faced man was stronger than the white-robed officer, but he was still only at Cognitive Creation, powerless to stop this attack.


    The torrent of petals swept past, shattering the dark-faced man''s saber, a middle-grade art relic. The torrent continued forward, crashing through the group of neers and filling the skies of Changping Prefecture with gorgeous petals.


    When the petals scattered, everyone saw that Yiyi had captured Bannerholder Wang and all his soldiers, hanging them up in the jungle.


    Their recently ignited hopes were put out again, and the Bai n was on the verge of tears.


    Yiyi continued to hold court, bringing Bai Zhanjun up and asking him if he had any crimes to confess.


    Young Master Bai didn''t dare to defend himself, swiftly confessing to the matter, in addition admitting that they had gifted Magistrate Du Rusong a piece of first-rate jade turquoise in thanks. Jade turquoise was a valuable stone, carrying both value and prestige, and officials loved it. The people of the city were in an uproar upon hearing this.


    Although everyone knew that officials weren''t clean, it being a secret and being publicly known werepletely different things.


    The cowardly Bai Zhanjun had pushed the magistrate into the heart of the storm, so no matter how this matter turned out, Magistrate Du wouldn''t fare well.


    This was Yiyi''s purpose. She was using this method to bring down Magistrate Du as well. When dealing with a country, one couldn''t possibly rely only on brute force.


    Yiyi had clearly matured after the butterfly incident.


    While the crowd was in an uproar, anotherrge group came flying out of the distance.


    This time, there were a thousand of them, and themander leading them was a Celestial Heart Spirit Ring True Person. Behind him were three bannerholders and twelve bannermen.


    "It''s Commander Lin! Lin Guan himself hase!" the people of the Bai Estate said, but this time, they were clearly less excited.


    Yiyi didn''t fear a single Spirit Ring True Person, but all those people following him were definitely a problem. She wondered if she would have to release ck Sin, but ck Sin would probably wreck the entire city, which would make the aftermath difficult to clean up.


    At this moment, Tang Jie''s voice rang out in her ear, "Lure that True Person down, and then I''ll deal with him. You handle the rest."


    Yiyi was delighted and shouted, "Hey, that leader over there, do you daree down and fight me?"


    Commander Lin grunted, "Even a puny sprite dares to be so arrogant!"


    He flew down.


    Yiyi had shouted these words so that the entire city could hear. If didn''t go down, he would lose all face.


    Yiyi saw himing down and jumped into the jungle below, vanishing from sight.


    Commander Lin gave chase, at the same time applying defensive spell arts to himself in case there was some kind of trick.


    But when he entered the jungle, he didn''t see any traps, only a man standing under a nearby tree. In front of him was a tree stump, upon which a go board wasid out. The man was pensively staring at the board as if he was trying to find a solution.


    Yiyi stood next to the man. She smiled at Commander Lin before flying out of the jungle, summoning the Silkheaven Net with a wave of her hand.


    Lin Guan was furious, but as he moved to stop Yiyi, the man said, "Since Commander is already here, you should stay."


    He thrust out a palm.


    Lin Guan copsed.


    When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was hanging from a tree.


    Next to him were the white-robed officer and dark-faced man. They looked at each other and then helplessly said, "Commander, so you''re here too…"
