Chapter 257 The Truth Revealed in the Valley
At the critical moment of the magic duel, Yun Yao concentrated and calmed down, knowing that this was the key move that would determine victory or defeat and reputation. The sinister magic cast by Liu Yan'er was like a black vortex, exuding a chilling aura, and the powerful spiritual power surged towards Yun Yao. However, Yun Yao's eyes were firm, and under the strong pressure of Liu Yan'er's magic, she keenly captured the fleeting flaw.
Yun Yao quickly mobilized her spiritual power, formed seals with her hands, and chanted something. The strongest attack she unleashed was a sure-kill technique that combined the results of many days of practice with the skills guided by the system master. A dazzling white light spurted out from her palm, like a sharp blade piercing the flaw in Liu Yan'er's spell. Wherever the light went, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound. This attack contained Yun Yao's profound understanding of practice and her tenacious will to win. Its power was enough to shake the valley. The surrounding trees were rustled by the powerful spiritual power, and leaves fell.
Liu Yan'er originally thought that her vicious magic could defeat Yun Yao in one fell swoop, and her face was full of pride and ferocity. However, when Yun Yao's attack accurately hit the flaw in her magic, her face turned pale in an instant. The powerful force broke through her defense like a surging tide, and Liu Yan'er's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Liu Yan'er's accomplices were horrified when they saw this scene. They knew that the situation was hopeless, and their instinct for survival made them turn around and run away. But Yun Yao would never let them succeed. She was well prepared. Before the battle began, Yun Yao cleverly arranged some defensive measures around the valley. These measures were carefully set up by her according to the formation knowledge provided by the system.
Yun Yao gently waved her sleeves and silently chanted a spell. Then faint spiritual rays emerged from the hidden places around the valley and quickly intertwined into a huge spiritual net. This net flashed with mysterious light, trapping the disciples who tried to escape. The disciples struggled in fear, but found that the more they struggled, the tighter they were bound, as if they were trapped in an inescapable cage.
At this time, Yun Yao slowly walked in front of the trapped people. There was no mercy or complacency in her eyes, only calmness and determination. She took out the evidence she had carefully collected from her arms. These evidences were accumulated bit by bit during her secret investigation of Liu Yan'er. There were fragments of letters that recorded Liu Yan'er's contact with external evil forces. Although the handwriting on them was blurred, the key information was still clearly discernible; there were image stones that she secretly photographed of Liu Yan'er secretly meeting with evil disciples. In the picture, Liu Yan'er had a sinister expression and was whispering with others about the conspiracy to frame Yun Yao; there were also some items with Liu Yan'er's unique spiritual power. These items were the key clues she left when Liu Yan'er framed her. They were discovered and preserved through the special spiritual power detection skills of the system master.
Yun Yao displayed the evidence one by one in front of everyone. Her voice was clear and powerful: "You thought you could frame me with conspiracy and trickery, but you didn't know that the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. These evidences clearly show the fact that Liu Yan'er colluded with the evil cultivators, and how you participated in the process of framing me."
The trapped disciples looked at the evidence in Yun Yao's hand, and their hopes were completely shattered. They all showed regret and begged for mercy from Yun Yao. One of the disciples cried and said, "Senior Sister Yun Yao, we were wrong. We were deceived by Liu Yan'er, so we did such a stupid thing. Please be magnanimous and let us go." The other disciples also echoed, and some even knelt on the ground, their eyes full of fear and pleading.
Yun Yao looked at these disciples who had been her enemies, and she felt mixed emotions. She knew that although these people had made mistakes, most of them were not unforgivable. They were just blinded by jealousy and power and were used by Liu Yan'er. She was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "What you have done has seriously damaged the interests and reputation of the sect. I will not let you go easily, but I will not kill you all. I will hand you over to the sect's law enforcement elders, and they will decide your punishment. I hope that you can reflect deeply on your mistakes in the days to come and get back on the right path."
After that, Yun Yao led the trapped Liu Yan'er and her accomplices and slowly left the valley. The spiritual power fluctuations in the valley gradually subsided, leaving only a messy battlefield, as if telling the story of the thrilling battle just now. Yun Yao's figure appeared particularly firm in the afterglow of the setting sun. She knew that this battle was just a challenge on her road to cultivation, and there would be more difficulties and opportunities waiting for her in the future.
After returning to the sect, Yun Yao went straight to the residence of the law enforcement elder. The law enforcement elder had already heard about Yun Yao's experience in the valley. He sat in the hall with a solemn look, waiting for Yun Yao's arrival. Yun Yao walked into the hall, bowed to the law enforcement elder, and then recounted the incident in detail and presented the evidence in his hand.
The law enforcement elder took the evidence and examined it carefully. His face became increasingly gloomy. After reading all the evidence, he slammed the table and said angrily, "The behavior of Liu Yan'er and others is simply extremely evil. They dared to collude with evil cultivators and frame their fellow disciples. This is a serious violation of the sect's precepts."
The law enforcement elder immediately called the other elders of the sect to hold an emergency meeting. At the meeting, Yun Yao recounted the events and presented the evidence. After a heated discussion, the elders finally decided to severely punish Liu Yan'er and her accomplices.
On the day of the trial, the disciples of the sect gathered in the square. They all wanted to witness the result of the trial with their own eyes. Liu Yan'er and her accomplices were brought to the center of the square. They looked haggard, and their eyes were full of fear and despair. The law enforcement elder stood on the high platform and read out their crimes: "Liu Yan'er, out of jealousy, you colluded with the evil cultivators and attempted to frame your fellow disciples and destroy the harmony and stability of the sect. Your crime is unforgivable. From today on, you will be expelled from the sect and will be permanently blacklisted in the cultivation world. No sect may accept you. Your accomplices, because they were deceived by you and participated in framing their fellow disciples, although it is understandable, they will not escape punishment. They will be deprived of their status as disciples of the sect and will face the wall on the cliff in the back mountain of the sect for ten years to reflect on their mistakes and see the results."
As the law enforcement elder pronounced the verdict, Liu Yan'er screamed in despair. She struggled frantically, trying to resist the verdict. But her strength seemed insignificant under the escort of many sect disciples. In the end, she was forcibly expelled from the sect and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yun Yao stood aside, watching all this, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. She knew that the storm had finally come to an end, but she also understood that her responsibility in the sect had become even greater. Her outstanding performance not only cleared her grievances, but also eliminated a huge hidden danger for the sect. Her name, in the hearts of the sect's disciples, has become a symbol of justice and wisdom.
Since then, Yun Yao has worked harder in her cultivation. She knows that in this challenging and dangerous world of cultivation, only by constantly improving her own strength can she better protect herself and the people around her. She often practices alone in the sect's practice room, studies various techniques and secrets, exchanges cultivation experiences with the system master, and constantly breaks through her own limits.
In addition to practicing, Yun Yao did not forget her fellow disciples in the sect. She took the initiative to take on the responsibility of teaching young disciples, imparting her practice experience and skills to them without reservation. She often organized some small practice seminars to encourage disciples to actively communicate and make progress together. Under her influence, the learning atmosphere in the sect became more intense, and the relationship between disciples became more harmonious.
The relationship between Yun Yao and Chu Mochen gradually warmed up in these experiences. They often strolled in the sect's garden together, talking about their insights and confusions in cultivation, and sharing each other's joys and sorrows. Although neither of them clearly expressed their feelings, they both had a place for each other in their hearts, which was a tacit understanding and trust that did not require words.
As the days passed, Yun Yao's position in the sect became more and more stable, and her influence grew. Her name gradually spread throughout the entire cultivation world, and she became a legendary figure among many cultivators. However, Yun Yao did not become proud and complacent because of this. She knew that her road to cultivation was still long, and there were countless unknowns waiting for her to explore.
