?


    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. Ximen 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 embarrassment of your deeds being shown to the public?"


    Xiao Nanmented, "Now is the time 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 meet the city lord finally."


    Xiao Nan nodded and said, "He is rather arrogant to meet 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 men stepped out of the carriages, and soon they came to stand before the guard of the Jiang Family and Ximen 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. Ximen 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 ept 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 something when Ximen 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 nce and nodded. Ximen Tao said, "Your daughter is chaste?"


    Xuan Ming wanted tosh out and kill this man, but he calmed down and said, "Yes, she is."


    Ximen 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,e here."


    His voice echoed, and soon the door of the Xuan Family carriage opened, and thedy 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 acimed to be the most beautiful in the city. What else do you expect?"


    Shi Lang nodded as he watched thedy move through the crowd gracefully, and hemented, "This girl and Ling Tian are a match made in hell. They both have the same sort of eyes. Sneaky and venomous."


    Xiao Nan nodded and said, "Happy realization."


    The youngdy reached her father and stood half a step behind him. Xuang Ming introduced Ximen Tao to the girl, and thetter greeted him properly. Ximen Tao said, "Would you please stand on the spirit diagram I made?"


    Thedy nodded and stepped forward. Ximen Tao drew the diagram on the ground with his spirit energy. Thedy 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. Ximen 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, Ximen 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..." <novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Just as he was about to say something, the array turned red. The people gasped, and Xuan Ming replied, "Shui, what is the meaning of this?"


    Shi Lang nudged Xiao Nan, saying, "Well, it is what it is. I had some inkling but never thought it would be true."


    Shi Lang froze. He realized that these people were indeed involved in adultery. This was not eptable even by Federal Standards. At this moment, 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 women. This does not prove that I am not chaste anymore."


    Ximen Tao smiled and said, "Miss Xuan, you might be able to fool other people, but not me. 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 Ximen Tao, who said, "Would you like to confess now?"


    Thedy 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 ring at his daughter. This entire incident was a p 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 member of the Xuan Family. Senior Ximen, 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 ashamed. From now on, the Xuan Family will have no rtion 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 rtion with the Xuan Family. If my sister suffered any harm, then you cane 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 member of the Ling Family. I, Ling Yang, disown Ling Tian and his name 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 moment, Elder Chen arrived with Shi Shanwang. The former said, "Elder Ximen, greetings. I am Chen from the Tianxu Pavilion. May I ask what is the matter?"


    Ximen 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 members of the Jiang Family from the Lion Heart City. After meticulous 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. Some debts have to be paid."


    Elder Chen nodded and asked, "Elder Ximen, 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 some chance to find a peaceful solution?"


    Ximen Tao shook his head and said, "This is something 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 Ximen?"


    Ximen Tao nodded and Shi Shanwang wanted to say something, when Xuan Shui said, "Ling Tian, you have ruined me. You perverted bastard, it is because of you that I lost everything."


    The me game began.
