Chapter 363 - 335: Courtroom

Chapter 363: Chapter 335: Courtroom

The Immortal Court, also known as the Prison Law Heavenly Palace, is itself a giant pyramid structure suspended in mid-air, with each of its four corners extending an iron chain connecting to the ground.

At this moment, a large crowd of loose cultivators gathered outside the Prison Law Heavenly Palace. They belonged to news organizations such as the "Nine Provinces Daily," "Taoist Collection Evening Paper," and "Spirit Realm Times," holding Mystic Mirrors for taking photos.

"Here he comes, Xiao Shui Star Lord is here!"

Someone shouted, and all the loose cultivators who had been chatting idly immediately perked up and rushed forward, their Mystic Mirror cameras flashing incessantly.

Violet clouds descended from the sky, and Li Cheng and others surrounded the Xiao Shui Star Lord, stepping onto the stairs of the Prison Law Heavenly Palace.

Compared to a few hours ago, the appearance of Xiao Shui had slightly changed. His expression was haggard, his gaze weary, and the extra decorations on his head and hands had been removed.

"Star Lord, can you tell us who initiated this divorce?"

"Xiao Shui Star Lord, how do you respond to the remarks made by Miao Yin, criticizing you publicly as a scumbag?"

"The public generally believes that the division of assets in this divorce involves the entire Xiao Shui Sect and will cause the sect’s status to plummet out of the top ten in the Human World. What is your opinion on this?"

The tabloid reporters relentlessly pursued their questions, but Xiao Shui Star Lord, having been warned by his lawyers, remained silent, quickened his steps up the stairs, and entered the pyramid.

The legal system of this world is more akin to the civil law system of the real world, based on statutory laws rather than past precedents, and there is no jury.

Making oneself appear haggard, weary, and vulnerable might somewhat influence the judge’s attitude... maybe.

As everyone walked through the gates of the Prison Law Heavenly Palace, the temperature suddenly dropped. Xiao Shui Star Lord abruptly raised his head and stared fiercely at the center of the hall.

In the center stood a gorgeous woman in palace attire, appearing around thirty years old. Her face was also haggard, and her makeup was smudged as if she had just cried. She was the other party in this case, Miao Yin.

Unlike the male party, beside Miao Yin were four lawyers, including Arctic and Howard, surrounded by a circle of beautiful women, her close friends of her fan group.

Upon seeing Xiao Shui Star Lord, Miao Yin immediately began to tremble, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes, as if greatly agitated. Her friends quickly comforted her warmly, throwing sharp glances at Xiao Shui Star Lord.

"That bitch."

Xiao Shui grew angrier, his scalp tingling, his aura fluctuating. Li Cheng quickly grabbed his shoulder, "Don’t be angry, anger will impair your wisdom. She just wants to see you look defeated.

Endure, think of the happy moments, achieving top honors, meeting old friends in a distant land, bridal chamber night..."

"Not bridal chamber, not bridal chamber? What the heck is ’bridal occupation,’ a ladybug perhaps?"

Zhang Wei couldn’t help but mutter: "And why did you emphasize ’rain’ so much, it seems a bit like Keqing."

Xiao Shui had no time to deal with the two lawyers, he took a deep breath, maintaining his composure, and swooped away with unfaltering rationality.

The footsteps grew faint. Arctic looked at Xiao Shui Star Lord’s retreat and exchanged a glance with Howard. Everything was said without words.

This courtroom mission was won.

With both parties entering, the clerk rose to announce the court procedures, the adjudicator verified the basic information of the parties and other participants, and after completing all processes, the divorce case officially began its hearing, "Now proceeding to court debate, first by the plaintiff’s lawyer."

Arctic stood up with the materials, speaking calmly, "According to Article 1087 of the Immortal Court Civil Code, when a couple fails to agree on the division of their joint property during divorce, the Immortal Court will decide based on the specific circumstances of the assets, adhering to principles that favor the children, the wife, and the blameless party.

Three months ago, Xiao Shui Star Lord and Miao Yin, who had maintained a marriage for a century, had a dispute at the summit of Rain Curtain Mountain in Xiao Shui Sect. The Xiao Shui Star Lord, at the Cave Void Stage Perfection, committed domestic violence against Miao Yin, who was at the Cave Void Stage Higher.

This resulted in multiple injuries to her face and neck.

More critically, the domestic violence inflicted an indelible psychological trauma on my client, causing a significant drop in her cultivation from the Cave Void Stage to the Body Integration Realm. Here’s the evidence."

With that, Arctic picked up a pile of materials, suspending them in mid-air for display.

The documents included photos of Miao Yin’s injuries, medical records from Baihua Valley, and testimonies from Xiao Shui Sect disciples who witnessed the battle on Rain Curtain Mountain.

"Based on these,

We request that the defendant compensate for medical expenses, psychological damages, loss of cultivation, and 70% of the marital joint property, including spirit stone veins, spirit plants, elixirs, cultivation techniques, and spirit beasts under Xiao Shui Sect.

Considering their jointly owned Water-shielding Golden-eyed Beast has mysteriously disappeared recently, this last point can be discussed..."

The earliest Xiao Shui Sect was founded five hundred years ago, initially a small sect with only a few members.

A hundred years ago, Xiao Shui Star Lord’s generation saw the sect dwindling to just him and a few Qi Refinement Realm juniors.

It was after meeting Miao Yin, with their Spirit Roots perfectly compatible—one of ice and thunder, the other of wind and fire, mutually complementary—that their cultivation surged rapidly upon forming a Daoist couple. They then encountered successive oddities,

Discovering ancestral Cave Mansion secrets, obtaining Innate Spirit Medicine, and finding unclaimed spirit stone veins in the wild, which led to the rise of Xiao Shui Sect within a century to its current stature.
