"Qin Luo, do you plead guilty?!"
On the high platform, an elder with a stern face shouted in a deep voice, jolting Qin Luo awake below.
Looking at the scene around him, with unfamiliar yet familiar faces, he had to accept a fact—he had transmigrated.
He was just going to the hospital for a circumcision, and now this?
To be honest, he couldn't accept it, but there was nothing he could do.
He had transmigrated to another world, becoming the Holy Son of the Tai Xu Sacred Land.
“Did I end up in the Tai Xu Sacred Land because I'm too empty myself?”
"Qin Luo, what are you mumbling about? I ask you, do you plead guilty or not!" The elder from the Enforcement Hall on the high platform scolded Qin Luo again, a powerful aura sweeping towards him, causing Qin Luo to stagger and almost kneel on the ground.
An elder on the high platform frowned, wanting to speak, but seeing the Supreme Lord with closed eyes, they immediately kept silent.
Qin Luo, not yet familiar with his body's strength, barely maintained his stance and looked at the elder, speaking in a deep voice, "I'm not guilty!"
"Heh!" The elder from the Enforcement Hall sneered.
"Whether you're guilty or not isn't up to you! Now that we have both witnesses and evidence, you have no choice but to confess!"
Qin Luo cursed inwardly, "Damn, then why ask me, you idiot!"
He also recalled the related events in his memory. It was because someone accused him of killing fellow disciples in a secret realm and stealing the incomplete sacred artifact of Tai Xu Sacred Land, the Tai Xu Bell.
"Senior Brother, at this point, won't you confess?"
The speaker was a woman dressed in a light gauze dress, with eyebrows like new moons and eyes like autumn water, captivating anyone who looked at her.
Her gaze towards Qin Luo carried a hint of disappointment, "Senior Brother, as long as you confess, the Supreme Lord will surely spare your life, at most abolishing your cultivation and expelling you from the Sacred Land."
This woman was Liu Ruyan, the Saintess of Tai Xu Sacred Land, also the daughter of the Supreme Lord, and Qin Luo's fiancée.
No, that was before; now she seemed not to be his fiancée anymore?
"Senior Brother, I know you resent me and the Saintess, but even so, it's not a reason for you to collude with the Heavenly Demon Sect and their Saintess!"
A man with starry eyes and a handsome face stepped forward, a flash of smugness in his eyes that only Qin Luo noticed.
"Qin Luo colluded with the Heavenly Demon Sect's Saintess to kill our Sacred Land's disciples, surely to practice the Heavenly Demon Sect's cultivation technique. Those senior brothers' bodies were drained of blood and bones; Qin Luo must have practiced the legendary Devour-Heaven Demon Art! Yes, that's it!"
"I think Qin Luo had this planned all along. Maybe he's not an orphan at all but a spy planted by the Heavenly Demon Sect in our Tai Xu Sacred Land!"
With wild imaginations, the disciples began to verbally attack Qin Luo.
"Qin Luo openly infiltrated the Sacred Land's Forbidden Land, killed the disciples guarding it, and seized the Tai Xu Bell, which is a capital offense! He must pay with his life!" One person spoke through gritted teeth, looking at Qin Luo with a gaze full of murderous intent.
His brother was one of the disciples guarding the Forbidden Land, and he had a blood feud with Qin Luo!
"A year ago, the Four Symbols Sword Technique was stolen from the Scripture Library; it must have been Qin Luo!"
"Sister Ling'er was raped and murdered ten years ago; it must have been Qin Luo too!"
Looking at those hateful eyes, Qin Luo almost believed it himself.
"Did I open my memory wrong? Is there a hidden side quest?"
But damn it, something's not right! Ten years ago, he was only eight years old, just in the second grade of elementary school. How could he have done such beastly things?
So, it's all slander! They're just kicking a man when he's down!
The reason is simple to explain.
Qin Luo was an orphan brought in by his master from outside. He showed talent from a young age, reaching the sixth realm, the Realm of Divine Ability, before the age of twenty.
He even outshone others to become the Holy Son of Tai Xu Sacred Land and was engaged to Liu Ruyan, the Saintess of Tai Xu Sacred Land, a true winner in life.
But because he was too outstanding, many were jealous. Now that he had fallen from grace, many were eager to kick him while he was down.
Slander poured over Qin Luo like a flood, as if it cost nothing.
"Qin Luo, three days ago, I lost my undergarments. Did you steal them?"
"Qin Luo, eighteen years ago, my family of thirty-six was massacred. Was it you?"
"Qin Luo, my dog was poisoned. I bet it was you!"
The more they talked, the more ridiculous it became.
Finally, the Supreme Lord of Tai Xu couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Enough!"
With a word from the Saint Lord, the entire place fell silent.
He turned his gaze to Qin Luo, "Qin Luo, the elder from the Enforcement Hall accuses you of killing fellow disciples, colluding with the Heavenly Demon Sect's Saintess, and stealing our Sacred Land's sacred artifact. Is this true?
Answer me truthfully!"
Just as Qin Luo was about to refute, he heard a voice in his ear, and he froze.
[System loading]
[System loaded successfully]
[Super Villain System at your service]
[One must have dreams, and as a villain, even more so. The ultimate dream of a villain is to suppress the Heavenly Dao, rise above it, dominate the heavens, and control billions of lives, with none above you! Dreams are necessary; what if they come true?]
[Does it matter if it's slander or fact?]
Qin Luo was about to say it does matter!
[What matters is what others think. Once a crack appears, it can never be fully mended.]
[Admit the slander, and your dreams will come true]
[You'll receive a Grand Package]
"System, you won't screw me over, will you?
How does this script look like a protagonist's script, and you're telling me you're a villain system? Are you joking? What can you do for me?"
[As long as the host gains enough Fortune, the system can help the host improve cultivation, combat power, and acquire Defying-Heaven Constitution, bloodlines, cultivation techniques, legacies, and more]
"If I admit it, won't I be killed?" Qin Luo swallowed and asked.
[Isn't life just a series of choices?]
[Choice is more important than effort. Choice one: Admit the slander, bind with the Super Villain System, and receive a Grand Package]
[Choice two: Strongly deny, and the system will leave you]
[The system will count to three; please make your choice quickly!]
"Motherfucker..." Qin Luo was anxious.
Seeing Qin Luo in a daze, the Supreme Lord of Tai Xu's expression darkened, and he became angry.
The elder from the Enforcement Hall immediately jumped out, scolding Qin Luo, "Qin Luo, why don't you answer the Supreme Lord's question? Are you guilty?"
Qin Luo looked up at those high and mighty people in the Sacred Land, smiled, and then said something that shocked everyone.
"Yes, yes, you're all right, it's all my doing!"
