586: According to the ancestral teachings, plan for the position of the Saint!

With that, Lingxi waved her hands, and a sharp gust of wind howled out, heading straight for Liu Yue.

The gust of wind was incredibly powerful; if it landed on Liu Yue, while it wouldn't be fatal, it would certainly leave her severely injured!

Liu Yue looked at the gust of wind, a flicker of almost imperceptible fear and malice in her eyes.

She had been forced to step forward by the Second Elder; the Second Elder didn't want to bear the blame herself and made her be the scapegoat, but when one is under the eaves, one has no choice but to bow one's head... The Second Elder snorted coldly and directly intercepted Lingxi's Move.

Seeing this, Liu Yue calmed down and continued, "Lingxi, you have such great authority. Can't even your name be spoken? Do you really think you're still the Saintess?!"

Lingxi's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this, a sense of shock rising in her heart.

How did they know?!

This is impossible!!!

Liu Yue didn't give Lingxi time to speak and continued, "The Saintess of our Yaochi Holy Land is the purest existence in the world! The ancestral teachings state that a Saintess should be pure and unblemished, leading by example!"

"You, as the Saintess, disregarded the ancestral teachings, took the lead in violating them, colluded with an outsider's man, engaged in illicit affairs, and are no longer a virgin! You have defiled the Holy Land's reputation!"

Liu Yue's words were like poisoned arrows, constantly shooting at Lingxi.

"Presumptuous! How dare you defile the Saintess's reputation with your baseless words here?! Who do you think you are?!"

The Grand Elder roared, intending to step forward and apprehend Liu Yue, to stop her from speaking nonsense.

But as soon as she moved, she was firmly blocked by the Third Elder and Fourth Elder, who clearly intended to prevent her from interfering.

"Grand Elder, whether it is true or not, there is a predetermined outcome. Why are you so anxious? Could it be... Liu Yue is telling the truth?"

The Third Elder looked at the Grand Elder, a hint of playful mockery on her face.

"Get lost!"

The Grand Elder angrily flung her hand, spitting out a single word... "Liu Yue, if you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for punishing you according to the Holy Land rules!"

Lingxi sternly rebuked, attempting to suppress Liu Yue's arrogance with this.

However, since the other party dared to make trouble in public, they naturally had made thorough preparations and were not at all bothered by Lingxi's reprimand.

"Nonsense?"

Liu Yue sneered, taking out a palm-sized jade stone from her bosom. The jade stone was crystal clear throughout, emitting a faint white glow.

"Lingxi, have you forgotten the treasure of Yaochi Holy Land—the mingxin mirror?"

Liu Yue held the jade stone high.

This was how they discovered the truth!

The mingxin mirror is the inherited treasure of Yaochi Holy Land, and also a treasure used by Yaochi Holy Land to test the Heart-Nature and chastity of Disciples. Once it approaches a woman who has lost her virginity, it will emit a dazzling red light.

The Disciples present began to stir. They all knew the power of the mingxin mirror; it was a treasure passed down through generations of Yaochi Holy Land and had never been wrong.

"You... you can't slander me! I..."

Lingxi felt her heart pounding, and her tone began to lose its advantage.

She knew that in the face of absolute evidence, any words were pale.

"Slander?"

The Third Elder stepped forward, her tone filled with the arrogance of a victor: "Saintess, if your Heart-Nature is clear, why not let the mingxin mirror verify your purity?"

"Exactly! One test will tell!"

The Fourth Elder echoed, her eyes full of urgency.

Hearing the surrounding voices, Lingxi felt only boundless shame and anger gradually engulfing her.

Her private matters, her body, were now to be publicly judged.

Most importantly, at this moment, she was still the nominal Saintess of Yaochi Holy Land!

How dare they humiliate me like this, publicly revealing this matter!

She couldn't let the mingxin mirror shine on her. Once the red light appeared, all her efforts and explanations would turn to ashes.

"I am the current Saintess, in charge of Holy Land affairs. How dare you all be so presumptuous! Any matter must follow the rules and regulations, and only be implemented after a decision by the Council of Elders!"

Lingxi tried to suppress them with her identity and the Holy Land rules.

"You are the one being presumptuous!"

Liu Yue shrieked, "You have long lost the qualifications of a Saintess! You are nothing but a cheap woman played by a wild man! Do you still want to continue deceiving us?"

"Shut up!!! Things are not as you imagine!"

Lingxi was furious!

"Saintess, you don't need to explain!"

The Fourth Elder interrupted her: "Facts speak louder than words! We already have conclusive evidence that you have lost your virginity outside! You are no longer fit to be the Saintess!"

"You all!"

Lingxi's heart was filled with immense anger, and she said coldly, "I have dedicated myself to Yaochi Holy Land, never failing my Revered Master's dying wish!"

"You all, search your hearts, since I took on the position of Saintess, have I ever failed the Holy Land? Have I ever failed you?"

"I have worked diligently for the development of the Holy Land, trying every possible way to find more Cultivation resources for you. Wasn't I just trying to make our Yaochi Holy Land better?!"

"Not only do you not appreciate it, but you also secretly monitored me!"

"Your targeting of me today is nothing more than for this position of Saintess, but I tell you, the position of Saintess is the Foundation of Yaochi Holy Land, and I will never hand this position over to you conniving individuals!"

Liu Yue scoffed, "Hahaha, 'conniving individuals,' indeed. I wonder which wild man our esteemed Saintess was conniving with outside? Would you care to tell us his name so we can hear it?"

"If you were still the Saintess, we would have no objections, but you have violated the ancestral teachings. What right does such a person have to criticize us here? I tell you, we do not acknowledge you!"

Those around them also echoed:

"Yes, we don't acknowledge her!"

"One who violates the ancestral teachings should step down. What talk of coveting?"

"Exactly, a person who violates the ancestral teachings has no right to be our Saintess!"

..."You... you all..."

"The Holy Land is in ruins awaiting revitalization, yet you only think of internal strife!"

Lingxi felt a wave of despair in her heart.

She had never realized in the past that these people could be so aggressive!

All along, they had been relatively respectful to her, and although they often didn't fully obey orders, it never reached this point.

Now it seems these people are unwilling to let her go, and seizing one of her weaknesses, they immediately want to drag her down!

It's all to scheme for her position as Saintess!

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.

Today, she would absolutely not hand over the position of Saintess to these people; even if she had to give it up, she would only give it to the Grand Elder!

Lingxi suddenly remembered the Storage Pouch Lu Hao had given her.

Lu Hao had given her so many resources before; if she took out those resources, perhaps it could pacify the situation.

So Lingxi took out the Storage Pouch and said anxiously, "I have returned this time with enough Cultivation resources to support the Holy Land's development for a hundred years!"

Lingxi held up the Storage Pouch, and a ripple of Spiritual Qi instantly spread, with brilliant light filling the sky!

One look was enough to tell that these were immeasurable resources!

"These resources can alleviate the Holy Land's current difficulties and allow the Disciples to Cultivate in peace!"

"If you all continue to be so aggressive, then don't blame me for not giving you these resources!"
