Shi Lang was shocked when Ling Tian angrily shouted, "How dare you?"
His aura was radiating very rigorously. However, none of the people from the opposition party had a level lower than the Immortal soul realm. Xin Tao snorted, and the pressure vanished. Ling Tian was forced to take a few steps back, and he even coughed up a mouthful of blood, while Ling Xue was also forced to take a few steps back from the wave of pressure.
The guard of the Jiang Family said, "Why are you getting angry? Can you not handle the embarrassnt of your deeds being shown to the public?"
Xiao Nan comnted, "Now is the ti for a big show."
She spotted a convoy heading to the Ling Family house. The crowd parted, and two carriages stopped opposite the Jiang Family convoy. The crowd murmured at the arrival of the City Lord.
Shi Lang whispered, "I did not expect to et the city lord finally."
Xiao Nan nodded and said, "He is rather arrogant to et anyone, but now he will know what it is like to be humbled."
The two nodded, and the doors of the carriages opened. Two impressive-looking middle-aged n stepped out of the carriages, and soon they ca to stand before the guard of the Jiang Family and Xin Tao.
The Elder invited by the Jiang Family was not a cultivator of a lower realm and did not bow to greet the man. Shi Lang watched keenly; as he predicted, the Patriarch of the Ling and Xuan families bowed their heads. Xin Tao said, "Patriarch Ling, I have provided the proof of your son's presence in the forest where the Jiang Family elder and people were killed. I ask you to cooperate with us. If these two are innocent, they will be spared. You have my word. However, if these two people were found guilty, your families would suffer for supporting them."
Shi Lang was happy, but it was not that easy. The Patriarch of the Xuan Family said, "Senior, I accept that you all have the proof that the two people were at the scene. We are also willing to cooperate, but first, I would like to ask your subordinates to be respectful. If these your people were to be proved wrong, then please apologize to both families."
The Jiang family guard wanted to say sothing when Xin Tao nodded and said, "Very well. You have my word, and if we are proven wrong, we will apologize to both families."
Xuan Ming and Ling Yang exchanged a glance and nodded. Xin Tao said, "Your daughter is chaste?"
Xuan Ming wanted to lash out and kill this man, but he cald down and said, "Yes, she is."
Xin Tao held his hand behind his back and asked, "May I ask you to call your daughter here? I would like her to stand on the Yin Detection Array."
Xuan Ming clenched his fist inside the sleeves and said, "She is present at the scene. Xiao Shui, co here."
His voice echoed, and soon the door of the Xuan Family carriage opened, and the lady in a red dress stepped out quietly. The crowd fell silent at her appearance. Shi Lang mumbled, "I did not expect this girl to have such a charm that the entire city would fall silent at her arrival."
Xian Nan nodded and said, "This girl is acclaid to be the most beautiful in the city. What else do you expect?"
Shi Lang nodded as he watched the lady move through the crowd gracefully, and he comnted, "This girl and Ling Tian are a match made in hell. They both have the sa sort of eyes. Sneaky and venomous."
Xiao Nan nodded and said, "Happy realization."
The young lady reached her father and stood half a step behind him. Xuang Ming introduced Xin Tao to the girl, and the latter greeted him properly. Xin Tao said, "Would you please stand on the spirit diagram I made?"
The lady nodded and stepped forward. Xin Tao drew the diagram on the ground with his spirit energy. The lady was standing in the middle of the diagram, and he made a seal with his hand. The diagram lit up, and the glow of light covered her body. Xin Tao said, "If she is chaste, just as you said, the light will not change. If she is impure, the light will change to red."
The people were surprised, and Shi Lang asked, "What is the principle behind this array?"
His voice was not very low, but the people were too focused on the scene that they did turn to look at him. However, Xin Tao replied, "This array detects Yin Energy inside a person's body. If a chaste woman is to step into this array, the array will not fluctuate. If the yin energy is insufficient to maintain the array, it will turn..."
Just as he was about to say sothing, the array turned red. The people gasped, and Xuan Ming replied, "Shui, what is the aning of this?"
Shi Lang nudged Xiao Nan, saying, "Well, it is what it is. I had so inkling but never thought it would be true."
Shi Lang froze. He realized that these people were indeed involved in adultery. This was not acceptable even by Federal Standards. At this mont, a disgruntled voice sounded, "What a noble Ling Family and What a noble Xuan Family."
The people also began to murmur. Xuan Shui replied, "Father, why do you worry so much? I practice the sutra of fire arts, and my yang energy is higher than other won. This does not prove that I am not chaste anymore."
Xin Tao smiled and said, "Miss Xuan, you might be able to fool other people, but not . Even practicing fire arts will not affect the normal Yin inside a chaste woman's body. If you do not wish to admit it, I can call many people from the Spirit Heart Sect to testify."
Xuan Shui shivered, and her face turned pale. She turned to look at Xin Tao, who said, "Would you like to confess now?"
The lady could not get herself to say anything in this situation. Ling Yang turned to look at his favored son with cold eyes. Xuan Ming was also glaring at his daughter. This entire incident was a slap to their face. Moreover, this tarnished the entire family.
Xuan Ming shivered in rage and said, "From this day forth, Xuan Shui is no longer a mber of the Xuan Family. Senior Xin, please do as you please."
That said, Xuan Ming turned to look at Ling Yang and said, "This is the good son you raised, a beast in human skin. He is the reason that our families are ashad. From now on, the Xuan Family will have no relation with Ling Family. If you tried to harm my sister, you will suffer the unbearable."
Xuan Shui was still in shock and Ling Yang clenched his fist as he said, "Your seductress of a daughter is not innocent either. Form now on the Ling Family will not have any relation with the Xuan Family. If my sister suffered any harm, then you can co and collect the dead body of yours."
That said, Ling Yang turned around and said, "Ling Tian is no longer the young master of the family. He is not a mber of the Ling Family. I, Ling Yang, disown Ling Tian and his na will be removed from the family lineage right away."
Ling Tian could not believe that his father would be so heartless to him. He was the most favored son.
Xiao Nan asked, "Is this not a bit too much?"
Shi Lang said, "The people in power all prefer their face over anything else. If they do not cut these two off, the family will suffer greater risk. This is the responsibility of the patriarch."
Xiao Nan nodded and at this mont, Elder Chen arrived with Shi Shanwang. The forr said, "Elder Xin, greetings. I am Chen from the Tianxu Pavilion. May I ask what is the matter?"
Xin Tao was strong, but he was still respectable to the Tianxu pavilion and greeted Elder Chen properly as he said, "The two people are suspected of killing more than a dozen mbers of the Jiang Family from the Lion Heart City. After ticulous investigation the Jiang Family found proof of their wrong doings. We have no intention of embarrassing anyone. It is just that everyone is human, and the elder who was murdered happened to be the guard captain's elder brother. So debts have to be paid."
Elder Chen nodded and asked, "Elder Xin, Ling Tian and Xuan Shui are both talented people. Yes, they are young and they may have made mistakes, but they can be corrected with proper guidance. I wonder if there is still so chance to find a peaceful solution?"
Xin Tao shook his head and said, "This is sothing for the Jiang Family to decide."
Shi Shanwang said, "Would it be alright if we ask you to convey our words to the Patriach of the Jiang Family, Elder Xin?"
Xin Tao nodded and Shi Shanwang wanted to say sothing, when Xuan Shui said, "Ling Tian, you have ruined . You perverted bastard, it is because of you that I lost everything."
The bla ga began.
