After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 199 - Get Back and Remember My Name!

“Yes, everyone, please take a look.”

Li Nanshan nodded slightly, raising his hand to project fragments of memory for all to see.

The gathered ministers turned their attention to the projection. In An Luo Yi’s memories, the aura of the white-robed youth as a demonic cultivator was unmistakable. He was shown using various forms of blackmail at night to threaten the celestial maiden. Exploiting her love for him, he gradually led her astray, turning her into a spy for the demonic sect within Dragon Dynasty.

Eventually, at Zongshan Plains, the youth threatened to expose her as a spy. Unable to endure it any longer, the celestial maiden drew her sword and ended his life, burying their secrets forever.

These scenes left many ministers astonished.

The main culprit was clearly the deceased He Ange, while An Luo Yi was portrayed as a coerced accomplice from start to finish.

Many cursed He Ange for being shameless and despicable, but few blamed An Luo Yi. After all, in the memories, the silver-haired celestial maiden was always depicted as a victim.

Even Li Nanshan frowned slightly at this point.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that the fabricated memory created by Holy Son He Yuan was somewhat off. While it successfully smeared the Destined Heroine, it seemed to shift the focus of hatred entirely onto He Ange.

The plan seemed slightly misaligned.

Instead of condemning An Luo Yi, it painted her as a victim.

But at this stage, Li Nanshan couldn’t say much. Fabricating memories was already a delicate task. Even if An Luo Yi appeared as a victim, it didn’t change the fact that she had allegedly served the demonic sect for years!

Meanwhile,

An Luo Yi was utterly dumbfounded by the scenes in the memory projection.

The scenes did show her secretly meeting with He Ange at night. They had shared many intimate moments—but those were merely affectionate interactions between Dao companions. He Ange had never blackmailed her or coerced her into anything. An Luo Yi had no such memories.

“This... this is slander!”

The silver-haired celestial maiden gritted her teeth, glaring furiously at Li Nanshan and the other ministers.

It was bad enough that they fabricated false memories to frame her, but to pin the blame on He Ange? They were shamelessly tarnishing his name simply because he couldn’t defend himself!

“Celestial Servant Luo Yi, you’ve been corrupted by He Ange’s demonic influence. Naturally, you’d instinctively defend him!”

Li Nanshan retorted coldly.

As if prepared for this response, he added:

“If anyone doubts this, we can test Celestial Servant Luo Yi’s spiritual energy purity to see if there are traces of demonic energy.”

This was another scheme provided by Holy Son He Yuan.

He had tampered with An Luo Yi beforehand. If Li Nanshan publicly accused her in the council hall, evidence of her connection to the demonic sect would become undeniable.

After all, if traces of demonic energy were found in her body, no amount of denial could clear her name.

Upon hearing this,

An Luo Yi’s heart trembled. She recalled the mark on her lower abdomen and the countless nights spent entwined with He Ange.

Now,

Even she couldn’t explain herself.

She lacked the confidence to firmly deny having demonic energy in her body. After all, He Ange was a demonic cultivator. Having dual cultivated with him, how could she possibly have no traces of demonic energy?

As Li Nanshan initiated the spiritual energy test,

An Luo Yi shivered slightly—her cold expression tinged with panic. Closing her eyes, she seemed resigned to her fate.

This accusation had clearly been meticulously planned by Li Nanshan. An Luo Yi knew that once this false charge was pinned on her, there would be no way to clear her name. In some sense, she even admitted to herself that she had indeed been involved with a demonic cultivator.

However,

Her involvement wasn’t due to coercion from He Ange but rather a mutual relationship born out of love and dual cultivation.

As for betraying Dragon Dynasty by leaking intelligence to He Ange—that was pure slander from Li Nanshan.

It was bad enough that Li Nanshan framed her—but dragging He Ange’s name through the mud as well?

This infuriated An Luo Yi to no end.

He Ange had never threatened her. Whatever mistakes he made, he had already paid for them with his life under her sword. And now Li Nanshan dared to exploit her deceased Dao companion just to frame her?

Such shamelessness—did he not fear divine retribution?

If An Luo Yi didn’t know that He Ange was still alive—her rationality might have already snapped. She would have drawn her sword in public and aimed it straight at Li Nanshan’s throat to avenge He Ange.

They were pushing her too far!

“Everyone, please observe—Celestial Servant Luo Yi indeed possesses traces of demonic energy within her body. Furthermore, there’s even a suspicious mark resembling those used by the demonic sect!”

As the results of the test were revealed,

The gathered ministers were once again shocked. The silver-haired celestial maiden kneeling in the center of the council hall was found not only to have dense demonic energy but also a glowing purple mark beneath her silver-white robes!

“!!!”

At that moment,

An Luo Yi’s cheeks flushed with humiliation—yet she had no words to defend herself.

She knew any explanation would be futile. As long as she remembered how much He Ange had silently done for her over the years—that was enough.

These onlookers had never known He Ange—they didn’t care about the truth. They only wanted to see what they expected: He Ange as a traitor and An Luo Yi as tainted by association.

The more she explained,

The more they’d twist it into entertainment—using it as further justification for their accusations. With He Ange gone—they could slander him however they pleased.

“Ha...”

A faint laugh escaped her lips as she lowered her gaze—no longer interested in arguing.

In her heart,

She had already marked Li Nanshan as the mastermind behind this entire scheme. She believed it was these elder ministers who devised this plan to frame both her and He Ange.

As for the white-robed youth who performed soul-searching?

She had no reason to suspect him. After all, why would He Ange frame his own “deceased” self?

Such underhanded tactics could only come from someone as power-hungry and deceitful as Li Nanshan.

“It seems Celestial Servant Luo Yi truly harbors demonic energy.”

High above,

Even the True Dragon Empress sighed—her disappointment evident as she looked at the silent silver-haired celestial maiden kneeling below.

The soul-searching memories were factual.

The presence of demonic energy and marks had been proven beyond doubt.

How could she not feel disheartened?

While she believed in An Luo Yi’s innocence and suspected Li Nanshan’s involvement—the evidence against An Luo Yi was overwhelming. No matter how much she and Qin Shiyan trusted An Luo Yi—what could they do?

It wouldn’t help.

At this point,

An Luo Yi’s reputation was irreparably tarnished—a situation beyond redemption.

As ruler,

The Empress couldn’t simply absolve An Luo Yi without facing backlash from the ministers. To quell their outrage—she had to feign anger herself.

With that in mind,

She exchanged a glance with Qin Shiyan—both silently agreeing on their next steps.

Reluctantly,

The Empress raised her voice:

“Celestial Servant Luo Yi—do you have anything left to say in your defense?”

“...”

An Luo Yi glanced up at the True Dragon Empress before closing her eyes—abandoning any hope.

What was the point of defending herself?

Her capture and soul-searching had been sanctioned by the Empress. The Empress’s stance on this matter was clear.

Anyone with half a brain could see that the Empress and Li Nanshan were on the same side!

With even the judge aligned with Li Nanshan—what else could she say?

It was utterly ridiculous!

“...”

Noticing the despair in An Luo Yi’s cold gaze,

The Empress and Qin Shiyan felt a pang of guilt—but remained silent.

Now,

An Luo Yi didn’t even want to defend herself anymore. With no rebuttal from the accused—it became even harder for them to help her.

The charges against An Luo Yi weren’t just leveled—they were nailed down tightly.

At this moment,

Li Nanshan and his fellow ministers smirked smugly—silently marveling at Holy Son He Yuan’s cunning strategy. With one move after another—they had successfully pinned a false charge of collusion with demonic cultivators onto the Destined Heroine—leaving no room for argument.

Now,

Even if the Empress wanted to protect An Luo Yi—she couldn’t do so without consequence. At best—she could only exile An Luo Yi to a remote region as punishment.

And indeed—Holy Son He Yuan’s prediction proved accurate—

“Since Celestial Servant Luo Yi has no defense—effective immediately—she is demoted to fourth rank and exiled to the frontier.”

Under pressure from her ministers,

The Empress reluctantly issued her decree—

“Your Majesty is wise——!”

Countless ministers bowed respectfully—their eyes gleaming with satisfaction—

The Destined Heroine’s good days in Dragon Dynasty were officially over!

...

...

...

“Emergency! The cultists are invading!”

“Help! Someone save us——”

“What cult dares invade Dragon Dynasty’s borders?!”

“This is madness! Do they not fear incurring the Empress’s wrath?!”

At Dragon Dynasty’s northern border—

Chaos reigned as abyssal beasts poured out from void portals—slaughtering and pillaging indiscriminately—

At the rear of this invasion stood a young man in holy robes—with an air of elegance tainted by sinister charm—

“If all goes well—my senior sister will come looking for me at the northern frontier soon. I should leave some traces for her.”

He smiled gently—

Channeling abyssal power—

Then,

Amidst countless despairing gazes from Dragon Dynasty’s celestial servants—the white-robed youth raised his voice:

“Don’t like it?”

“My name is He Yuan—the new Holy Son of Spirit Phoenix Sect!”

“Servants of the Empress—go back and remember my name——!!!”

With those words—

He unleashed abyssal sorcery—

In an instant—

Phoenix cries echoed across the skies—as an even more terrifying abyssal tide surged towards Dragon Dynasty’s lands—

That night—

The infamous name of Spirit Phoenix Sect’s Holy Son He Yuan spread across Dragon Dynasty’s northern frontier—
