Without any evidence to prove it, the entire incident was instantly pushed to a point of no return.
The news reached Tianyan Sect at top speed, causing shock among the higher-ups.
They collude with demonic cultivators, harm fellow practitioners, and even leak sect secrets.
Either of these offenses is a serious crime that could result in the abolition of cultivation, expulsion from the sect, or even expulsion from the sect.
The Sword Master Lingjue was urgently summoned out of seclusion.
When he saw the contents of the jade slip, his stern and cold face first showed disbelief, then turned into raging fury.
I never expected my newly accepted disciple to be so muddle-headed.
Even when they're doing bad things, they can't even do it properly!
He personally interrogated Lin Wanwan, who had been escorted back to the clan.
Lin Wanwan's face was ashen in the main hall, and she trembled all over.
She just couldn't understand why her seemingly foolproof plan had been exposed!
When the jade slip containing the image was played in front of her again, she broke down.
"No! That's not true! It's fake! That bitch Liu Zixi framed me!"
Lin Wanwan screamed hysterically, trying to make a final struggle.
"You wretched child, you still dare to argue even now?"
Sect Leader Yuhengzi roared, and the pressure of his Nascent Soul instantly enveloped the hall.
It was as if Lin Wanwan was being choked, and she could no longer make a sound.
"Wan'er, I'll ask you one last time: was this your doing?"
Looking at his disciple, on whom he had once placed great hopes, Lingjue Sword Master's eyes were filled with deep sorrow.
"Master...Master, I was wrong! I was forced! They forced me!"
"It's Liu Zixi! She stole everything from me, she stole Senior Brother Mu Yuan's attention, she deserves to die! She should have died long ago! She should have died before...!"
Under the gaze of those disappointed eyes, Lin Wanwan finally laid her cards on the table and stopped pretending.
She collapsed to the ground, her voice sharp and piercing, filled with madness, resentment, and bitterness.
He even started spouting nonsense about a past life that should have belonged to him, and other crazy things.
But how could Heaven grant someone a second chance at life?
Upon hearing this, everyone present shook their heads, assuming that she had lost her mind due to her crimes being exposed and was now spouting nonsense to defend herself.
No one took her words seriously.
Only Mu Yuan's eyes flashed with a faint hint of mockery.
Lingjue Sword Master closed his eyes, and the last trace of reluctance vanished.
"Stubborn to the end, utterly hopeless."
"Our Hidden Sword Peak will never tolerate such a disciple. Expel him from our peak, and leave the rest to be dealt with by the sect!"
He waved his hand, his voice weary and cold.
Upon receiving the order, the enforcement disciples immediately stepped forward.
"No!! Master, please don't! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
Lin Wanwan let out a shrill, desperate scream, struggling desperately but to no avail.
An elder from the Enforcement Hall destroyed her dantian with a single, sharp sword strike, instantly obliterating her years of hard-earned cultivation.
She was dragged out of the main hall like a rag doll and thrown out of the Tianyan Sect's mountain gate, thus losing her chance to ascend to immortality and leaving her fate to be determined by destiny.
Several days later, at a secluded pavilion near the main peak of the Tianyan Sect.
Zi Xi walked slowly towards her.
Her injuries had largely healed, and she changed back into her simple blue robe, her expression still aloof.
But when he looked at the pale-faced figure standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sea of clouds, his expression was much more complicated than before.
Mu Yuan noticed her arrival and turned around, a warm smile on his face that was as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Junior Sister Zixi, is there something you need?"
He spoke in a relaxed tone.
