With a loud bang!

The entire Ji clan was in an uproar!

"Shocking! I never imagined that Ji Xuan would be such a treacherous person. She deliberately acted pitiful to give the Emperor the Dao Body, and then lured him into defeat so that she could regain power!"

"Heh, you can know a person's face but not their heart. For power and status, they would even betray their own parents. What is a mere Ji Lan compared to that!"

"If the Second Elder hadn't exposed this woman's true colors, we would still be in the dark!"

Under the deliberate encouragement of the Second Elder, many members of the Ji clan started shouting.

Humans have a herd mentality.

One or two people saying this might not cause much of a stir.

However, with a large number of people, many indecisive and opinionated individuals also joined the camp.

Ji Xuan frowned deeply, her breath shivering.

She kindly helped the Ji clan regain their glory, but she never expected to end up like this.

"Second Elder, I didn't! Don't make false accusations!"

Ji Xuan shouted angrily.

Second Elder Ji Yun sneered, "What? You dare to do it but not admit it, huh!"

"You're denying it too, but the more guilty you seem, the more solid evidence I have!"

Ji Xuan shouted, "What concrete evidence do you have?!"

Second Elder Ji Yun raised his right hand and said loudly, "Disciples, we all saw with our own eyes that the Heavenly Maiden Ji Xuan destroyed her own power, didn't we!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ji Yun pointed at Ji Xuan and said, "Those who destroy their own cultivation will completely lose their bloodline and will never be able to awaken it again. But what you just unleashed was clearly the Xuanyuan Dao Body. How do you explain that!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan's expression changed instantly.

The other members of the Ji clan also erupted in uproar.

"That's right! What Ji Xuan just unleashed was clearly the Xuanyuan Dao Body!"

"Once a martial artist's internal energy is destroyed, it is impossible for them to awaken it again. It seems that Ji Xuan clearly had a backup plan!"

"It's undeniable that she deliberately framed Ji Lan, causing the emperor's defeat and almost leading to the complete destruction of my Ji clan. That damned woman, how vicious she is!"

"If we let a woman like that rule our Ji clan, how can we possibly have a good life?"

"No, we absolutely cannot agree to that!"

Amidst the thunderous roar of anger, more and more members of the Ji clan joined the ranks of those denouncing Ji Xuan.

Meanwhile, the Chi tribe was dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Instead of celebrating their victory, the Ji clan is fighting amongst themselves!"

"I heard from them that the Heavenly Maiden Ji Xuan is plotting to usurp the throne!"

"What on earth is going on? What should we do, clan leader!"

Everyone turned to look.

The Chi clan chief's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, and then he sneered.

"Hmph, I was planning to use my trump card, but it seems I won't need to bother now. Let those idiots of the Ji clan continue their infighting! Dogs fighting each other, it's so wonderful, hahaha..."

The many experts of the Chi tribe chuckled sinisterly.

They all crossed their arms, looking on with expressions of anticipation.

Meanwhile, the internal strife within the Ji clan intensified.

Even the Grand Elder Ji Chang couldn't help but have doubts about Ji Xuan.

"Ji Xuan, tell me the truth, did you hide your Dao Body and deliberately frame Ji Lan? Why bother? If you have such strength, even without immortal energy, we wouldn't have chosen Ji Lan!"

"Now you've ruined Ji Lan, and the entire Ji clan is in turmoil, alas..."

Ji Xuan said coldly, "Elder, do you also doubt me?"

The First Elder Ji Chang's face flushed red and then turned pale, finally settling into a long sigh.

"Ji Xuan, it's not that I'm doubting you, but you need to produce evidence to clear your name!"

Ji Xuan said calmly, "My Dao Body was bestowed upon me by my master!"

"Nonsense!" Second Elder Ji Yun shouted.

He said with a sneer, "This is utter nonsense. To say that a Dao body can be bestowed is utterly ridiculous. In my hundreds of years of experience, I have never heard of anyone who can bestow a Dao body upon another. Tell me, who would listen to such a thing?"

The remaining elders and members of the Ji clan shook their heads.

"We've never heard of it either!"

"That's right! If a Dao Body could be bestowed, wouldn't everyone be able to fly through the sky?"

"Hehe, come on, I'll give you ten thousand spirit stones. Who will grant me a Dao Body? After all, a martial artist with a Dao Body can take off instantly!"

"Hahaha, this is absolutely hilarious!"

After the mockery came the laughter.

At that moment, a calm voice rang out.

"There are too many things you don't know. Don't use your pitiful and barren mind to guess about the things in the world!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Tang Xuan with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed and at ease.

"Who are you?" Second Elder Ji Yun said fiercely.

"Shut up! Don't be disrespectful to my master!" Ji Xuan's expression changed.

It doesn't matter what the Second Elder Ji Yun says about her, but he absolutely cannot say anything about Tang Xuan.

This is her bottom line.

"Hmph, Master! What an intimate way to address you. I can tell you're clearly in cahoots, seduce each other, adulterers, utterly shameful!"

Second Elder Ji Yun spoke without thinking.

Snap!

A crisp slap rang out, and a figure flew backward.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and the Second Elder Ji Yun had already disappeared.

Looking a thousand feet away, the Second Elder, Ji Yun, was spinning and flying backwards.

Half of his face was completely swollen.

Countless teeth were also lost.

"You...you...you're awful..."
