Leaving meant we wouldn’t have to retrace our steps. We jumped over the back wall and returned to the meeting point. I handed Xiao Hei Mao over to Su Yan and recounted everything we had seen in the Cellar to Su Yan and Old Li.
As I finished my story, Su Yan’s face turned pale, her upturned eyes glistening with tears that threatened to spill over. “Those… are my kin! Jiang Haotian actually treated our demon clan so cruelly! I…” She could say no more, her voice breaking as tears filled her eyes.
Seeing Su Yan in such distress stirred an indescribable feeling within me, as if a great hand had gripped my heart tightly, causing a painful suffocation. It was a sensation I had never experienced before in my life. It felt as though her pain was my own.
Old Li stood nearby, his expression dark and foreboding. He glared in the direction of the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall. “Enough! Now that we have the evidence, let’s stop talking and move!”
We charged straight toward the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall. The ancestral rites were still underway inside, with Jiang Haotian standing at the front, reciting the sacrificial words with an air of righteousness. How hypocritical!
“Jiang Haotian, enough! Stop pretending!”
The room fell silent instantly, everyone turning to look at me with expressions that clearly said: Is this person insane?
Hmph! Just wait! Soon you’ll realize that the true madman stands before you—your esteemed clan leader!
Jiang Haotian frowned deeply, brandishing the family token at me. “Jiang Xiaoman, how dare you, a discarded member of the family, trespass into the ancestral hall? You have some nerve!”
I scoffed dismissively, ignoring him completely. Instead, I raised the bronze mirror high before Elder Jiang and the crowd.
“Everyone! Jiang Haotian, as the Jiang Family Head, has openly violated clan rules! In his own backyard’s Cellar, he has practiced forbidden techniques on demons! This is the evidence!”
The bronze mirror hovered in mid-air, its surface shimmering softly as it projected a clear image of the horrors recorded in the Cellar onto the white walls of the hall—the shocking bloodstains, the formation circles, and the demons who had been tortured to death by the Refining Demon Technique…
I pointed angrily at Jiang Haotian, raising my voice. “This is what I recorded in Jiang Haotian’s Cellar! He has already caused the deaths of many innocent demons, draining their powers to enhance his own cultivation! Such cruel and shameless acts disqualify him from being the head of the Jiang family!”
A portion of the Jiang Family Descendants standing on the outskirts were visibly shaken by what they saw and began to murmur among themselves. However, to our surprise—
The higher-ranking members of the Jiang Family, the heads of various clans, and even the elders of the Jiang clan showed no signs of surprise at all.
After I finished my impassioned speech, the Grand Elder slowly rose and said flatly, "Take them down!"
With the Grand Elder's command, dozens of Jiang disciples surrounded us from all directions.
What does this mean?
"You... you, as Elder Jiang, are actually involved in this..." I widened my eyes, hearing my own voice shatter in disbelief.
It turned out that the Refining Demon Technique was not just the act of Jiang Haotian alone, but rather the entire Jiang Family!
We looked incredulously at these shameless individuals who exuded an air of "elderly dignity," filled with words of reproach that we didn't know how to begin expressing...
Old Li trembled with rage, "You have fallen to such depths for the sake of so-called power! The righteous foundation and reputation that the Jiang Family has built over nearly a thousand years will be destroyed by your hands!"
