The official website of the Immortal Net would occasionally post some official messages on the forum, mostly to maintain the order of the Immortal Net or to make some announcements, such as the explanation of rewards and punishments.
Some of the news was related to the Immortal Net itself, while others were related to others.
This time, the news that the official of the Immortal Net released on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region was a video of the process of the Water Mirror Technique.
The full text is now available for reading.
The title of the post was only two words —
[Truth]!
The official posts were usually placed in the most conspicuous position, with special colors and text effects. Therefore, after many cultivators entered the forum of the Immortal Net, they immediately saw this message in the vast amount of messages on the forum.
He clicked on the sequence with his mind, and a scene of the Water Mirror Technique appeared in his mind.
It was a video captured from a third-person perspective. The angle was very strange, but through the hazy curtain of rain, one could see the process of the massacre on South Street.
One shop after another was breached, and the innocent cultivators sleeping in the shops were slaughtered. Some shop owners resisted and chased after them, but they were instantly beheaded …
Many people died with everlasting regret.
Young girls rushed out of their homes in disheveled clothes, but in the end, they were pulled back. Their desperate and miserable screams could be heard clearly through the curtain of rain.
Some babies were even thrown down from high places and stabbed to death with swords.
The duration of this Water Mirror Technique was probably less than ten minutes, and the image was slightly blurry. The technique used to capture it was very rusty, but the person who used the Water Mirror Technique should not be weak, so he could still clearly see the entire process.
Every cultivator was astounded.
It was a huge shock.
The reason why they were shocked was not because they saw the massacre, but because they found that the perpetrator was not the rumored killing maniac Li Mu, but …
It was a figure wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Tianyi Palace.
"A member of the Tianyi Palace?"
Everybody who saw the image completely lost the ability to think.
What was going on?!
Almost at the same time, [Being Forced to Keep a Pig] also posted the same message on the forum. However, this time, the style was completely different from before. There was no eye-catching title, and there was no charging permission. Instead, it was free to watch.
There were no words in the content, and there was no special explanation.
It was just the same Water Mirror Technique as the one on the Immortal Net.
Many people saw this and silently left.
Then, he clicked on the official news on the Immortal Net.
Looking around, he retreated.
Then he looked at the news released by Li Mu.
They were exactly the same.
The cultivators, who had been mocking and ridiculing Li Mu and continuously posting "Thank you to Li Mu" posts, suddenly lost their voices.
Many people were in a daze, losing the ability to think.
"Was the massacre on the South Street committed by the Tianyi Palace and framed Li Mu?"
Things were going to get out of hand.
Then what was going on before?
"It can't be fake, right?"
A cultivator raised his doubts.
The Water Mirror Technique was a relatively ordinary Taoist magic art. It was not a particularly profound thing. Many cultivators in the Mortal Realm or even the Worm Realm could do it.
Moreover, there were some secret techniques that could forge images of the Water Mirror Technique. Some cultivators even specialized in the Water Mirror Technique and knew all kinds of images of the Water Mirror Technique for a living.
It sounded like a movie or TV series on Earth.
As a result, many professional cultivators emerged to decipher and examine the authenticity of the two Water Mirror Techniques, hoping to find some traces of forgery.
But in the end, they all announced in disappointment that the two Water Mirror Techniques were not forged or modified. At least, with their level and cultivation, they couldn't find any flaws.
At this time, some people also spoke up.
"The Water Mirror Techniques released by the Immortal Net have definitely gone through the most stringent tests. There can't be any forgery. It's clear that they are using the authority of the Immortal Net to support Li Mu the Wild Broadsword, so …"
"So what?"
So, the truth of the matter was completely reversed in an instant.
Many people fell completely silent.
All kinds of debates about the authenticity of the Water Mirror Techniques gradually subsided. As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. The more the truth was verified, the clearer it would be. At first, many people doubted it and tried to find even the slightest flaw with a harsh attitude, but they found nothing.
Therefore, the video was real.
And as the incident continued to ferment, some people found more.
"I know the man who killed the shop owner. He is a disciple of the Tianyi Palace. His name is He Xiang. He is definitely not a fake …"
"Not only He Xiang, but also several other people. They are all real disciples of the Tianyi Palace. There is evidence. They are not fakes."
"And Mu Shun, did you see that? The man standing in front of the flying shuttle and commanding the massacre is one of the people in charge of the Tianyi Palace in Star Wind City. He is in charge of the Immortal Pavilion Hotel. "
"And there are several outer elders of the Tianyi Palace …"
"That's the law enforcement team of the Tianyi Palace."
More and more information and evidence were dug out from the Water Mirror Techniques, and they became more and more shocking, as if the tip of the iceberg had been dug out.
In this way, the evidence was completely consolidated.
No one could fake it to such an extent.
And it did rain that night, and it was a rare rainstorm. After that night, it never rained on the South Street of Star Wind City, nor did any cultivators cast Taoist magic arts to make it rain … No matter from which aspect, there was no flaw.
"I think we should apologize to Li Mu."
Finally, someone was the first to say such a thing.
It was hard to apologize.
Especially under such a situation and background, it was even more difficult to apologize.
"Li Mu, I'm sorry."
The cultivators who had mocked and ridiculed Li Mu before all lowered their heads in shame.
Unlike those who slandered Li Mu for the sake of slandering him a while ago, most of the cultivators who mocked and ridiculed Li Mu on the forum these days were really motivated by righteous indignation and justice. When they found that they had wronged Li Mu, the shame and guilt in their hearts were simply indescribable.
They really did admit that they were wrong.
And in this wave of apology, the Darkness-repelling Sword, who had been silent all the time, finally showed up.
"I'm sorry."
This was the first time in history that the Darkness-repelling Sword apologized for his previous remarks and attacks.
Many cultivators who knew the Darkness-repelling Sword well could tell how difficult it was for him to post those three words.
And Feng Liusheng of the Feng Clan, who had always been on the same side as the Darkness-repelling Sword, also stood out after a long silence —
"I was wrong."
The more intense he was when he criticized Li Mu, the more intense the guilt he felt at this time.
All the cultivators' thoughts suddenly changed. They suddenly felt that the injustice Li Mu was carrying was really shocking. It was too great, too great, and it was not something a normal person could bear.
"Why didn't he explain at the beginning?"
"Or, at the beginning, Li Mu didn't find this scene of the Water Mirror Technique?"
Well, if there were no such scene, no matter what Li Mu said, no one would believe that he was innocent and wronged.
Because from the beginning, the attitude of the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region toward Li Mu was quite unfriendly. Before Li Mu left the Divine Land, the image that the major sects created for Li Mu was that he was a lowly, perverted murderer from the inferior world. Later, when Li Mu stepped into the universe, what he did was also full of killing and controversy.
From the beginning, the cultivators in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region looked at Li Mu with colored glasses. This kind of prejudice had unknowingly penetrated into their bones. Under such circumstances, who would believe what Li Mu said and what his friends said?
"I was one of the people who experienced the massacre in Gold Town. In fact, what happened that day was different from what the Gold Sun Sect announced. Here's what happened …" A cultivator on the Immortal Net anonymously recounted the past and retold the story.
"Li Mu helped the cultivators in need and killed the greedy and shameless man. He is a good man," the anonymous cultivator said in the end.
It was not until then that many cultivators realized that in the past period of time, there had been people who spoke up for Li Mu. Some of the people who were involved in the incident in Gold Town had also posted posts, but they were soon drowned by the wave of public opinion that condemned Li Mu.
At that time, whoever spoke up for Li Mu was simply an accomplice to a villain. Thus, they were immediately drowned by the spittle of the crowd. Those scattered posts were basically drowned by the flood of comments.
They felt ashamed.
They felt guilty.
That was the inner portrayal of many cultivators who were truly righteous.
They were extremely regretful. They hated themselves for being blind and wronging a good man.
Now that they looked back and sorted out the past, they found how great Li Mu's action of setting up the fund for the victims of the massacre on the South Street was.
Those fairy crystals were earned by Li Mu with his own strength. It could be said that he had worked hard to earn them. They were all hard-earned money. Obviously, he had suffered such a great injustice and was cursed and disgusted by the relatives of the victims in all kinds of vicious ways. But he still took out such a huge sum of money. Even a Sage would not do that, would he?
And they had actually wronged such a great Sage?
The remorse in many people's hearts drowned them like a surging river.
Even many people who still had doubts about Li Mu's identity as a sinner were shocked. They had to admit that this young man from the inferior world was indeed arrogant. Perhaps he had some shortcomings in other aspects, but in this matter, he really showed great character.
It was not that bad.
"Li Mu, I'm sorry."
Some people kept posting posts like this in the forum.
"Thank you, Li Mu."
Some people also reposted the words that were used to ridicule, ridicule, and disgust Li Mu. But even a fool could tell that this time, the same five words expressed a completely different meaning.
This time, the words were sincere, full of admiration, gratitude, and repentance.
It had been a long time since anyone could be as controversial as Li Mu. In a short period of time, he had suffered great slander at the same time, and then received great praise and recognition.
This shocking contrast created an image of an arrogant but righteous chivalrous swordsman. It was as if he had set up a golden body of morality in the Brilliance Immortal Sect.
In the future, whoever dared to slander Li Mu would probably have their back broken.
Of course, it was not over yet.
