"Then tell me, what exactly happened in the secret realm?" Lingxiao Zhenren snorted.
Bai Mumu gave Wen Xuan a meaningful look, and then used her divine sense to transmit a single sentence to him:
"If you want to get the pass, you know what to do."
Wen Xuan clenched his fist for a moment, then slowly relaxed it, took a deep breath, and said, "As Shen Sangruo and the others said, Bai Mumu does indeed have evil spirits on her!"
Then he described in great detail how he and Bai Mumu conspired to murder several members of the Ninghua Sect, and how Bai Mumu used the evil spirit to control the purple-gold snake.
Upon hearing this result, Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren's expressions changed.
He knelt before the two men, his voice earnestly pleading:
"Please trust your disciple, Sect Master and Master, and rid the cultivation world of this scourge! There must never be another like this within the Flying Cloud Sect..."
Snap!
Before Wen Xuan could finish speaking, his head was slapped to the side by Ling Xiao Zhenren. Ling Xiao Zhenren calmly withdrew his hand, his face as cold as frost.
“He’s talking nonsense and is seriously ill. Take him away to recuperate.”
However, the discussions on Fengling Terrace were almost deafening, and Wen Xuan's words undoubtedly provided further strong evidence for Bai Mumu's actions.
Wen Xuan is Bai Mumu's own senior brother. His willingness to sacrifice family for righteousness is highly convincing!
Bai Mumu kept her head down, sobbing softly in Shen Daochen's arms, "I didn't..."
Public opinion was escalating and the situation was about to spiral out of control. Lingxiao Zhenren, his eyes blazing with anger, yelled at Wen Xuan, "Get down here now!"
Then, turning to Feng Heyun and Luo Chu, he said, "You two, take him away!"
However, none of the three made a move to back down. Instead, Feng Heyun and Luo Chu knelt down with Wen Xuan.
"Master, we can't continue down this wrong path." Wen Xuan's expression was resolute, his eyes filled with an inexplicable sorrow.
"If Shen Sangruo wasn't Master's abandoned disciple, she voluntarily left Zhenlin Peak and severed her master-disciple relationship with him," Feng Heyun announced loudly. He paused before continuing, "The truth is..."
Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren never expected him to say these things in such a setting. In order to save face for Feiyun Sect, they had to stop him!
The silencing spell landed on Feng Heyun's lips, and Feng Heyun's voice disappeared. Luo Chu, who was next to him, stood up again.
"That's the truth!" With a gesture from his hand, four huge confessions appeared above Fenglingtai.
The original confession that Shen Sangri asked them to write had already been torn up; this is a new one they just rewrote.
The cultivators and sects were all shocked when they saw the contents of the confession.
Taking heart's blood, losing all cultivation, being poisoned with the Seven Emotions Gu, taking the blame, being severely injured...
Is this really something my senior brother would do?
In addition, Lingxiao Zhenren, without discerning the truth, threw Shen Sanruo into the confinement room and forced her to confess. Shen Sanruo had clearly defeated Bai Mumu in the competition for the young sect leader, but Shen Daochen accused her of deliberately injuring Bai Mumu and expelled her from Feiyun Sect.
The truth came out, delivering a resounding slap in the face to those previous rumors.
"Damn! I knew Sang Ruo wasn't that kind of person!"
"The inside story is like this! This is outrageous!"
"Huh? So this is how the Flying Cloud Sect is? Master Lingxiao is... too unexpected."
Public opinion of the Flying Cloud Sect and Master Lingxiao plummeted.
"My father, my master, and my senior brother are all bad people. How could they treat her like that? Were they really my closest relatives after all these years? Just because she wasn't their biological daughter?"
"I think those rumors were deliberately spread by the Flying Cloud Sect. How disgusting!"
"Even if Bai Mumu comes back, you can't treat Chen Sangruo like this, can you? Wouldn't it be better to let her go if things get really bad? Why do you have to torture her like this!"
"It's good that she left. Flames will shine no matter where they are. I just want to know if those people from the Flying Cloud Sect regret it."
"The people of the Flying Cloud Sect are all blind!"
Countless apologetic gazes were cast upon Shen Sangruo, but her expression remained indifferent, as if she had not experienced those things herself.
She raised an eyebrow. What had happened to Feng Heyun and the other two?
They were willing to let themselves and the Flying Cloud Sect be insulted by thousands of people just to reveal the truth.
But she was not affected by the sudden "awakening of conscience" of the group.
Public opinion surged like waves, one after another, leaving the once-glorious Flying Cloud Sect teetering on the brink of collapse.
On the high platform, the expressions on Shen Daochen's and Lingxiao Zhenren's faces were extremely grim.
Bai Mumu's gaze was even more horrified. Had Feng Heyun and the others gone mad?!
Lingxiao Zhenren's temples throbbed. He raised his hand and scattered the several repentance letters, but Feng Heyun and the other two poured all their spiritual power into the repentance letters, determined to protect them at all costs.
"We are sorry to Xiaoruo, we are guilty! We were deceived by Bai Mumu and did many things that wronged her!" Wen Xuan gritted his teeth, his body reaching its limit, but he still had to speak.
Luo Chu also shouted, "Master, Sect Leader Shen, don't be fooled by Bai Mumu anymore! She's not as innocent as she seems! She's the one with the deepest schemes!"
The actions of the three individuals have utterly disgraced Shen Daochen, Lingxiao Zhenren, and the entire Feiyun Sect.
The disdainful looks around him enraged Lingxiao Zhenren, who unleashed a sudden attack. Feng Heyun and the other two could no longer resist, and the letter of repentance finally shattered.
But the content has already been imprinted in the hearts of everyone present.
"Disgraceful! Take him to the Discipline Department and punish him severely!" Shen Daochen was furious.
The three were taken away, but they wore relieved smiles on their faces. They all looked at Chen Sangruo, hoping that she would look at them one more time.
But even as they were being led away, they didn't get a single glimpse of him. Their smiles gradually froze, and a sharp pain shot through their hearts.
“The evidence is conclusive. Do Sect Master Shen and True Person Lingxiao still want to protect Bai Mumu?” Shen Sangruo shifted the topic back to Bai Mumu and the evil spirits.
Gu Ci Zhenjun glanced at Shen Daochen and said, "I'm afraid Sect Master Shen will have to give an explanation to the cultivation world about this matter."
"Yes! Give us an explanation!" Countless people echoed in unison.
Shen Daochen was filled with complex emotions. He naturally believed that his biological daughter was innocent, but so many people were pointing the finger at her, proving...
Regardless, she is too controversial, and it's likely she can no longer be the young sect leader of the Flying Cloud Sect.
"Don't worry, Mu Mu, Daddy won't let anyone hurt you." His voice was slightly cold.
[Ding—Chen Daochen's favorability -5, current favorability 85, sizzle—]
The slightly stuttering electronic voice in her mind overlapped with the voices of the people on Fengling Platform, causing Bai Mumu's blood to surge.
Why is this happening? It shouldn't be like this!
Everything she had was destroyed by Shen Sangruo!
Bai Mumu was already on her last breath, relying entirely on Lingxiao Zhenren's spiritual power to keep her going. Now, under such stimulation, she could no longer hold on and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
