"So even though she knew her subordinates were colluding with the demon race and doing smuggling with them along with Jian Taiding and others, she pretended not to know. Instead, she used their names as a cover to secretly trade with the snake race. Am I right, Yu Yanluo?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yao's gaze sharpened, seemingly carrying a hint of murderous intent.
Zu An frowned. Although he hadn't known Xiao Yao for long, he didn't think Xiao Yao was that kind of person.
In his early years, Xiao Yao did indeed take it upon himself to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, but after hearing that he had done something terrible, his ideals collapsed, which led him to become the disheveled person he is today.
If he were still the kind of person who hated demons so much, how could he have fallen into depravity and ruin all these years?
Moreover, he now knows perfectly well that Yu Yanluo is the disciple of the chief priest, yet he still makes trouble for her as if there is some grudge between them.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo finally spoke up: "My lord, everything must be based on evidence. All you've said is just your personal conjecture. Any storyteller on the overpass could make up a similar story. Wouldn't that make it easy to frame someone?"
Other officials who were on good terms with the Yu family chimed in, and this was not the time to argue about right or wrong, but rather when their interests were tied to those of the Yu family.
Zuan nodded secretly. Yu Yanluo was indeed the head of a clan. Even if she really was Medusa, she must not admit it at this time. As long as she insisted that she was not, no one could do anything to her.
However, he was still not optimistic. Would Xu Yu and his group have launched such an attack if they weren't confident?
As expected, Xiao Yao said calmly, "Evidence? Of course I have it."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat as Xiao Yao took out a video stone: "This is the recording I made while infiltrating the snake tribe. Once you see the contents, you'll understand whether what I said is true or false."
Soon a beam of light was projected into the air, and the image of a village appeared on the screen.
The village was laid out very differently from human villages, and each house was more like a cave, making one wonder if it could even provide shelter from the wind and rain.
The villagers walking on the street had snake-like lower bodies, while their upper bodies were not much different from humans, but their eyes were most noticeably vertical pupils.
Common venomous snakes can be seen slithering around on the ground, and together with the various eerie totems painted all over the walls, it gives people a chilling feeling.
In the middle of the village square stands a huge statue with a human head and a snake's body, and every strand of hair on its head is shaped like a small snake.
Many of the snake people were kneeling and worshipping the huge statue, seemingly holding a grand ceremony.
A ring of bright green torches burned around the field, making one wonder if they contained deadly poison.
The snake villagers knelt on the ground, seemingly chanting prayers, their expressions filled with grief and despair.
Some of the snake people seemed to be weeping bitterly...
Seeing this, Yu Yanluo couldn't help but stand up from her chair.
Then the camera zoomed in, and everyone finally saw the statue's face clearly.
She was an extremely beautiful woman, breathtakingly beautiful.
But everyone in the room subconsciously looked at Yu Yanluo, because the woman in the picture was almost a carbon copy of her!

I was extremely shocked when I saw the news of the China Eastern Airlines crash today. This must be the most serious air disaster in China that I can remember.
Let's wait for the official investigation results; don't believe the rumors circulating online.
Sigh, you never know when tomorrow or an accident will come first, so everyone should cherish everything they have now.
