Xiao Jingyan remained unfazed and calmly said, "Slander? Lu Xueyao, do you dare accept the examination of the Source Spell?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xueyao's face instantly turned pale.
I was taken aback; I hadn't expected Xiao Jingyan to reveal his trump card so quickly.
A flicker of panic crossed Lu Xueyao's eyes, but she quickly composed herself. "Sect Leader, what Source Spell? The Source Spell is only used for selecting spirit beasts; how could it be casually applied to a person?"
Xiao Jingyan let out a cold laugh. "What? Feeling guilty? The Source Spell traces bloodlines; there is no distinction between human and beast."
At that moment, Xu Ming and the other Masters arrived in the hall.
"Sect Leader, what happened?" Xu Ming asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Jingyan surveyed the crowd, his voice icy. "Masters, how do you think we should deal with traitors who betray the sect?"
As soon as he spoke, an uproar erupted in the room. The Masters looked at Xiao Zhiyuan and Lu Xueyao, their eyes filled with shock and anger.
"Sect Leader, what evidence do you have?" someone asked.
Xiao Jingyan smiled slightly and took out the Source Mirror from his sleeve. "The evidence is right here."
Seeing this, Lu Xueyao reacted like a cornered beast and suddenly roared, "Xiao Jingyan! You won't get away with this!" With that, she summoned her magical artifact and charged at Xiao Jingyan.
I was taken aback and was about to take action when I saw Xiao Jingyan casually wave her hand. A flash of golden light passed, and Lu Xueyao was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.
Xiao Jingyan turned and directed the magic mirror towards Xiao Yifeng, who was sitting nearby. "Let everyone see who Xiao Yifeng truly is!" Her voice was filled with mockery.
Watching this scene unfold, I couldn't help but admire Xiao Jingyan's brilliance. She had been prepared all along, deliberately allowing Lu Xueyao to reveal her true colors. In fact, she had already immobilized Xiao Yifeng and seated him in the grand hall.
The mirror suddenly revealed the Demon Lord and Lu Xueyao!
At this sight, the crowd erupted once again. The Masters looked at Lu Xueyao, while some cast their gazes toward Xiao Zhiyuan, their eyes filled with disdain and glee.
Xiao Zhiyuan roared, "Lu Xueyao! You worthless wretch! Didn't you say Xiao Yifeng was my son? You've made a fool of me by raising the child of a demon! I curse you!"
Xiao Jingyan surveyed the surroundings. "Everyone, do you have any doubts now?"
The Masters shook their heads in unison. Some even spoke up, saying, "The Sect Leader is wise! We have long found these two displeasing!"
I looked at these fair-weather friends and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This is human nature; some people had known about Lu Xueyao's affair with the acting sect leader all along.
Xiao Jingyan nodded. "In that case, please bear witness. From this day forth, I strip Xiao Zhiyuan and Lu Xueyao of all their positions, revoke their spiritual roots, and expel them from the Sect!"
As soon as she finished speaking, two inner disciples stepped forward to seize Xiao Zhiyuan and Lu Xueyao.
Xiao Zhiyuan shouted furiously, "Xiao Jingyan! I did not collude with the demon clan; it was Lu Xueyao who conspired with them! This has nothing to do with me! You will not die a good death! I curse you..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was dragged away. Lu Xueyao was crying and begging for mercy, but no one paid her any attention.
Watching their retreating figures, I felt a mix of emotions. Once, I had been hurt by them as well. Now, they finally received the punishment they deserved.
Xiao Jingyan turned to me and asked, " Shanshan, what do you think?"
I took a deep breath and replied, "The Sect Master is wise."
Xiao Jingyan nodded, a fleeting emotion in his eyes that I couldn't comprehend. "Let's go; this farce has finally come to an end."
