That night, Meng Han, Hall Master of the Yunyang Sect Inner Guard, led three hundred Inner Sect cultivators in a thorough search of the entire city.
In one stroke, they captured over a hundred scions of Purple Mansion families suspected of involvement in the Human Hunting Case.
The next day, the number of arrested suspects surged to nearly a thousand, and the scope of those implicated grew ever wider.

Sect Leader Ji Guantao issued a sect decree.
Seven Purple Mansion families had all their property confiscated for their crimes and were sent to the Demon Suppression Cave for a century of imprisonment, with no pardon even in the event of a general amnesty!
At the same time, twelve Purple Mansion families were punished with service in the Reclamation Camp for three years, to atone for their crimes through meritorious deeds.
As for the family disciples and affiliated cultivators who had directly participated in the case, grave offenders were executed immediately, while lesser offenders were sentenced to hard labor!
Furthermore, the Inner Guard determined that the instigators of the Human Hunting Case had been death warriors from the Guiyuan Sect!

In the end, they created the Human Hunting tragedy.
Their aim was to ruin the reputation of the Yunyang lineage and shake the foundations of the Yunyang Sect!
Most of these death warriors committed suicide during their arrest. The few survivors could not withstand the torture and revealed the truth.
The truth had finally come to light!
