Mufeng is lying—he must have been bought off by Zhuque and Mengzhang to frame me!"
Divine Lord Mengzhang stepped forward, his expression composed as he said, "Your Majesty, over the years Feiyue Immortal Lady has secretly formed factions in the Celestial Realm and weeded out those who disagreed with her. She feared we would expose her wicked deeds, which is why she resorted to such vicious methods."
