The Logic Is Sound

Fairy Xueyun held Jiang Wan in her arms, her gaze fixed on Madam Li as she questioned angrily:

"Madam Li, why did you try to kill Wanwan? She's been by your side for three years, did you truly have no feelings for her at all?"

Jiang Wan, nestled in Fairy Xueyun's embrace, added, "Mother, she's the one who said she switched people back then. She never liked Wanwan from the start."

Reminded by her words, Fairy Xueyun conjured an Ice Sword in her hand and pointed it at Madam Li.

Madam Li's eyes flickered, and she began to laugh maniacally.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, why did I do this?

It was all for the sake of the entire Cultivation World! She, she will become the Demon Lord in the future and slaughter the entire Cultivation World, turning it into a river of blood. You will all die by her hand.

I foresaw the future and wanted to eliminate this demon at its infancy. I never expected a demon to remain a demon. I even threw her into the Myriad Snake Den beneath the Gale Force, and she still didn't die. What else could she be but a demon?

If you don't kill her today, you will regret it!"

When Fairy Xueyun saw Jiang Wan's Lightning Spiritual Root, she no longer believed the claims that Jiang Wan would turn to the Demonic Dao.

"You're spouting nonsense! My daughter would never walk the Demonic Dao. How could someone with an Innate Lightning Spiritual Root possibly turn to the Demonic Dao?"

Jiang Wan's knowledge on the matter wasn't thorough enough. She thought, Isn't it said that those with Lightning Spiritual Roots become even more terrifying after turning demonic?

Currently, cultivators' understanding of lightning spiritual power is that it is the bane of all Demons and Monsters.

So, they believe people with Lightning Spiritual Roots won't turn demonic?

Jiang Wan felt she couldn't figure it out, while Madam Li opposite her was already utterly shocked, staring at her in disbelief.

"Impossible, impossible! How could she have a Lightning Spiritual Root? She clearly has a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root. How could she have an extra Lightning Spiritual Root? There was no Lightning Spiritual Root when we tested her spiritual roots!

You're lying to me, aren't you? You'd invent such a lie just to protect her."

Everyone watched as Madam Li descended into madness. Bound by Spiritual Power within a circle, she desperately tried to break free, reaching out as if to grab Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan shrunk further into Fairy Xueyun's embrace. Is this Madam Li completely insane?

Could she be talking about this body's past life?

But the System said I'm a Soul from Another World. Ah, whatever, I won't bother with all this messy stuff. Jiang Wan just wants to ask:

"How does she know all this? Can she really predict the future?"

Venerable Wanhe narrowed his eyes.

"I suggest we don't kill her yet. She might know more."

Venerable Yu Yi raised his hand and struck the circle imprisoning Madam Li. Others couldn't act, but he could, as the magic artifact was originally his.

"Venerable Wanhe, don't be fooled by her. If I'm not mistaken, she is the Demonic Cultivator. When she found me this morning, she had a dagger emitting Demonic Qi.

We saw it on the Mysterious Sky Treasure Mirror; she injured herself. Where did that demonic artifact come from?

It's clearly her. She's a spy from the Demonic Sect, specifically here to slaughter our sect's new Heavenly Prodigies. She must have known my disciple had a Lightning Spiritual Root and feared she would threaten the Demonic Sect in the future, which is why she tried every means to eliminate my disciple before she could mature.

Hmph, her so-called foresight is just a trick. If she truly had foresight, would she still be at the mere Qi Cultivation Level 6?

She would have foreseen where treasures appear and where ancient Cave Mansions lie. She would have amassed so many good things her hands would ache. Who wouldn't hide away to cultivate instead of harassing a child here?"

Jiang Wan mentally praised her Master. What a logical genius, it actually makes sense.

Upon hearing this, everyone considered it and their expressions towards Madam Li turned strange.

Fairy Xueyun sternly demanded, "Madam Li, do you have anything else to explain?"

Madam Li's gaze shifted to Jiang Yao. If I knew about any treasures or Immortal's Mansions, I'd go for them myself.

Jiang Yao burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu, don't hit Yao Yao, Mother! Yao Yao was wrong! Yao Yao didn't have any prophetic dreams at all. It was her, she made Yao Yao say those things, wuwuwuwu, Yao Yao doesn't know anything."

Madam Li stared at Jiang Yao with wide, shocked eyes. What does she mean by this? Is she trying to make me take all the blame?

She immediately stood up and charged towards the light barrier imprisoning her.

"Why, why did you bring back this little b*tch? If she hadn't returned, my daughter would be the young lady of the Myriad Talisman Sect's Sect Master, enjoying all the resources of the Myriad Talisman Sect.

But she returned, and she stole Yao Yao's cultivation resources! I killed her, I wanted to kill her--Aaaahhhhh!"

Venerable Yu Yi reached into the light circle and performed Soul Searching on Madam Li. After a moment, he threw her to the ground and raised his hand, tightening the light circle, completely crushing Madam Li into dust.

Jiang Wan sighed, As expected of a Spirit Transmutation Cultivator's methods, so powerful.

[Congratulations on successfully removing a stumbling block on your path to whitewashing. You must have been incredibly determined to eliminate her. Your efforts will not be in vain; the Heavenly Dao will eventually see.
Task Complete.
Task Reward: Many Children, Many Blessings Pill.]

The reward was finally given, but it doesn't seem to be needed at the moment, so I'll keep it in the System backpack.

Jiang Wan turned to look at Jiang Yao, whose face was expressionless.

"Jiang Yao, your mother is dead, why aren't you sad?"

Jiang Yao's small face tried to form a cold sneer, then turned into a look of grievance, appearing somewhat strange.

"Sister, she raised you for over three years. You spent more time with her, so shouldn't you be sadder? Although she is my birth mother, I only spent two or three months with her. She even asked me to lie to Mother before. Although Yao Yao didn't like her, Yao Yao is still sad."

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and stretched out her small arms to hug Fairy Xueyun.

"When she raised me, she often hit me and wanted to kill me. She's not my birth mother after all. I still like my birth mother. Mother, it's so good that you found Wanwan so quickly."

Fairy Xueyun hugged Jiang Wan and kissed her bulging cheek. It turned out that Madam Li had deliberately done all this. Fortunately, fortunately. From now on, she would treat her daughter better to make up for her suspicions during this period. She was truly in the wrong.

Seeing Jiang Yao also come closer, Fairy Xueyun, uncharacteristically, did not reach out to hug her.

Venerable Yu Yi opened Madam Li's storage bag and found a curved saber with demonic energy inside. This was what Madam Li had prepared to frame a Demonic Cultivator with next time, but she hadn't had time to hide it.

"She really is a spy sent by the Demonic Cultivator. Look, she even has a demonic artifact on her. Hmph, a mere trick of a Demonic Cultivator, trying to frame my disciple."

Venerable Yu Yi said with an expression of "that's all there is to it." He tucked his hands into his sleeves, lifted his chin, and walked up to Jiang Wan.

"Now that the truth is out, let's go. Come with your master to entertain the guests and meet those old guys."

Jiang Wan saw the old man strutting like a victorious rooster, his steps wide apart. She also got out of Fairy Xueyun's embrace.

"Mother, I'll go with Master first. I'll bring you good things later."
