As she spoke, she grabbed Cheng Jingru and spread her fingers to activate the Soul Search.
They acted swiftly, leaving no room for anyone to harbor any illusions.
"Wait a minute..." Shen Boyuan was startled and was about to step forward to stop him, "The method of searching for spirits is too vicious; those who are searched for spirits will either die or be maimed..."
Li Wenhe drew his sword and blocked Shen Boyuan's path.
Mingzhuo: "She previously instigated the Sword-wielding Elder to use the Soul Search on me, why didn't you come out to stop her?"
Shen Boyuan was speechless. He felt it was inappropriate at the time, but he didn't stop it because he subconsciously believed that Mingzhuo could withstand the Sou Shen.
Because she has always appeared too strong, people subconsciously rely on her rather than subconsciously protect her.
Although Cheng Jingru is very talented and can always unexpectedly resolve crises, people always feel that her success is three parts hard work, three parts talent, and four parts luck.
Therefore, many people in the Xuanmen subconsciously try to protect Cheng Jingru's good fortune, hoping that she can continue on the road to success.
Shen Boyuan subconsciously felt that his junior sister needed his help, encouragement and protection.
This is also a consensus among the people of the Xuanmen sect.
Mingzhuo looked up and slowly surveyed the surroundings. "You think I'm abusing my power? Well, sorry, I am abusing people."
The old man in white stepped forward and said, "Why don't I search for the spirit?"
As the aggrieved party, Mingzhuo was almost injured by the old man in black's spirit-searching technique, so he certainly had the right to demand that the Xuanmen use spirit-searching on Cheng Jingru, the culprit.
Moreover, although the white-robed old man suffered excruciating pain from Ming Zhuo's sword strike, the increased lifespan was a tangible benefit.
They are over a hundred years old, and what they lack most is longevity. If they could live two or three more years, they could contribute to the Xuanmen sect for two more years.
Mingzhuo had been kind to him, so the old man in white naturally had to stand on Mingzhuo's side.
Cheng Jingru's pupils contracted, and she almost collapsed as she blurted out, "It was me! I put the 'dissolving malnutrition' technique in the food!"
Instead of stubbornly denying it, it's better to honestly confess.
It's better than having your soul damaged by the search for spirits and becoming a complete idiot.
Although the hotel where the Bai family was staying was secluded, the people of the Xuanmen sect would not be wary of her and could easily find out about it.
The place where Yuan Qingwan was imprisoned was the same; she didn't even need to contact the other party.
“Yuan Qingwan said she wanted to take me as her apprentice, and she taught me the art of curing malnutrition… She wanted to abandon her physical body and escape, so I had to tamper with the mineral water. She could see it herself and choose whether or not to drink it.”
Cheng Jingru said absentmindedly, "I just didn't expect that her way of escaping was to possess my mother's body."
She wasn't without regret; she shouldn't have gone to such lengths with someone as dangerous as Yuan Qingwan.
But just when everything seemed to be turning around and Liu Manling had a chance to live, Ming Zhuo ruined it all.
When did her life start to go wrong? Right, it was after Mingzhuo left the Cheng family, after Chu Yuqi jumped out and said that Mingzhuo had taken away the Cheng family's fortune.
First, Cheng Jinghao was cursed, dragging the Cheng family down a path of decline; then his parents lost their university professor jobs and were ridiculed by everyone.
If she doesn't think about rising up and fighting back, is she destined to be trampled under Mingzhuo's feet forever?
No, she couldn't swallow this insult. Only by crushing Mingzhuo could she quell the hatred in her heart.
After the ghost train incident, Mingzhuo disappeared for more than half a year before she felt truly happy. Why did he have to come back?
Although the two did not directly clash, she was secretly competing with each other behind the scenes.
But the spell cast by Mingzhuo was not only unbreakable for her, but the more she tried to undo it, the more severe the backlash became.
She could have waited, but after Yuan Qingwan's defeat and the incident at the Hongguang Building, she realized she couldn't wait any longer.
Mingzhuo is too powerful. She's like a giant bug in the system, and nobody knows where her power ceiling is.
Cheng Jingru then decided to take a risk and use the Xuanmen's help to get rid of Mingzhuo, which could be considered revenge for Liu Manling.
Unexpectedly, it still failed.
Cheng Jingru suddenly looked up at Chu Yuqi in the crowd.
Chu Yuqi was startled: "Why are you looking at me like that? I had no idea you had this kind of relationship with Yuan Qingwan, and I never expected you to have hidden it so well, making me completely fooled!"
Cheng Jingru: "I didn't have a good ending, but what good ending do you have?"
Her confession proves that she had long been complicit with Yuan Qingwan and was not merely a victim of coercion.
Adding to tonight's possession of another body and framing fellow disciples, with so many crimes combined, he will most likely end up having his cultivation abolished and being imprisoned in a special prison.
Cheng Jingru has been taken away, but this matter is not over yet. The Xuanmen will hold a joint trial to investigate the crimes Cheng Jingru committed.
Cheng Jiangkai was also taken away; as a member of the Cheng family, he also had to assist in the investigation.
Before being taken away, Cheng Jiangkai desperately tried to distance himself: "I really don't know anything! Jingru said she was going to see her great-aunt, but I've never met any great-aunt. How was I supposed to know that she was a top-level wanted criminal of the Xuanmen? I'm so innocent!"
He then sternly rebuked Cheng Jingru, "I never imagined you would stoop so low and associate with evil and crooked ways! It's all your fault, you killed your mother! And tonight you almost killed me too!"
Tonight he accidentally entered the world of the mirror and almost died!
Fortunately, it was Mingzhuo who let Gu Xu and the others go in to find Liu Manhua, which allowed them to bring him out successfully!
Cheng Jiangkai still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it now; he can't die like this without knowing why!
Cheng Jingru bit her lower lip until it bled. She had done so much, even going so far as to learn those evil arts from Yuan Qingwan, all because her parents hoped she could support the Cheng family.
They enjoyed the glory she brought, but chose to betray her when she was imprisoned.
She closed her eyes, avoiding looking at Cheng Jiangkai, and got into the car with her head down.
The car drove away, and the world became quiet again. Mingzhuo turned to look at Chu Yuqi.
Chu Yuqi was filled with regret; she had completely chosen the wrong side tonight!
I thought Cheng Jingru had the female lead's halo, but who knew that this female lead's halo was also selective. When she met Cheng Jingru, she was unlucky, but when she met Ming Zhuo, the female lead was unlucky!
She forced a smile: "Zhuozhuo, that's great. You've cleared your name, which means you've cleared the name of the Bai family."
Mingzhuo: "It seems you've been hiding a lot of things. Why don't you go to the punishment hall and confess?"
Chu Yuqi's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected Ming Zhuo to be so impolite.
Does she even realize that the two of them are family?
However, Chu Yuqi dared not object, fearing that Ming Zhuo would use the Soul Search on her without saying a word, and that not only would she be unable to hide the fact that she had transmigrated into the book, but she might also become an idiot!
The thought of possibly becoming a fool like Suzuran sent a chill down her spine. It was too terrifying; she would rather die than have that happen to her!
With things having come to this point, Chu Yuqi allowed the Xuanmen people to tie her up as well.
I never thought that after hiding for so long, I would still have to go to the Hall of Punishment. Just thinking about it makes me furious with Cheng Jingru.
Mingzhuo was very satisfied with the result; she hated it when people caused trouble in front of her.
She looked up at the night sky, raised her peach wood sword, and slashed fiercely at a certain spot.
