Under the blessing of various cultivation techniques, he was fortunate enough to escape.
However, he was still under suspicion.
The reason he remained safe was probably due to his high merit.
The peak of his merit was almost second to none.
Though it hadn't been announced yet, it should be soon.
Even if it decreased now, he should still be in third or fourth place.
Additionally, he heard that the merit rankings would be announced soon.
He should be able to stay in the top few for a while.
But if he didn't gain any more merits in the future, he would likely fall off the list in a few years.
After all, other people's merits would increase.
*Especially as he was frequently entering the Law Enforcement Hall and then being bailed out.*
For those who didn't cause trouble, being on the Merit Hall almost meant they didn't have to worry about threats from other disciples.
Many would be eager to fight for it to reach the top.
