After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

If others don't join in bullying her, who knows, next time it might be those who don't bully her who will be the ones who suffer.

So they joined in and enjoyed themselves.

Sect Leader Xuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a bad premonition. And indeed…

"Looking back, besides thanking those who have been kind to me and helped me, I am most grateful to those from the Xuantian Sect who bullied and humiliated me."

Lin Yan's words were like a bombshell.

Two days ago, Sect Leader Xuan was still having people clarify the Xuan Tian Sect's alleged malicious bullying incident, saying it was all fabricated. He claimed that the disciple had studied at the Xuan Tian Sect for a period of time but hadn't become a formal disciple. He came from a smaller sect to learn.

At first, people don't believe such empty talk, but as more and more people say it, it becomes very brainwashing, and even those who didn't believe it before will waver.

Now that this has happened, all the previous efforts to salvage the sect's image have been in vain.

This person's actions directly confirm that malicious bullying did indeed occur within the Xuantian Sect.

Sect Leader Xuan felt wronged! Which sect doesn't have such conflicts? Unequal distribution of sect resources is inevitable, and such conflicts are bound to exist. Why is she making such a fuss?
Sect Leader Xuan had previously thought that his junior brother lacked discernment and let go of such a talented disciple. But upon closer reflection, he realized that keeping such a disciple in the sect posed an uncertain risk.

He tried to stop the man from continuing, but Duan Yi had already taken out a stick and started playing with it.

"..." I don't really feel like moving anymore!

After saying that, Lin Yan paused to observe the reactions of the disciples below the stage, and then glanced at the seniors on the high platform.

Those from the Xuantian Sect couldn't openly make a move even if they wanted to, since the elders and peak masters from other sects were present and they were happy to hear the "story."

Seeing her master protecting her, Lin Yan felt even more confident.

"Perhaps everyone is curious about what kind of bullying made me leave the sect, and whether my actions were too dramatic. Well then, let's take a look at my story."

Lin Yan took out a mirror from her storage bag.

"This is called the Mind-Reading Mirror, a treasure I obtained by chance. I believe that seniors who understand formations will recognize this magical artifact. It can peer into a cultivator's tragic experiences in order to better construct illusions and trap people within the formation. I am not very knowledgeable and cannot yet use this treasure well on others, but I am already quite proficient at using it on myself."

Such a treasure was not obtained "by chance," but was an inheritance left to her by her father.

After speaking, she used her spiritual power to envelop the mirror, causing it to suspend in mid-air and grow larger. Then, her tragic experiences of being bullied and humiliated in the Xuantian Sect from childhood to her teens were played out in the mirror.

The clarity of the image projected in the mirror depends on her memory. The clearer the memory, the clearer the image, and vice versa.

The images played in the Mind-Searching Mirror moved everyone present. Even those who disliked Lin Yan felt that it was reasonable for her to settle scores in such a setting.

Because her life at the Xuantian Sect was so miserable! The little girl in the picture was bullied every single day; she had almost no time for herself and never had a chance to recover from her injuries.

Her small, thin figure left a shock on everyone present. Lin Yan's growth to her current state was truly a result of crawling out of a dead end.

Sect Leader Xuan's face was grim. He had just thought Lin Yan was making a mountain out of a molehill, but now he was about to be thoroughly humiliated. However, from the perspective of the Xuan Tian Sect, she and the Xuan Tian Sect were currently enemies, and he would not side with Lin Yan.

Ling Yun's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected this wretched child to cause so much trouble. He still didn't think he was wrong. He felt that accepting this wretched child with three spiritual roots as his personal disciple was already a great blessing for her, and her lack of gratitude made her an ungrateful wretch.

As for her being bullied, it's because she's weak, unambitious, and not strong enough. Besides that, she must have made other mistakes, otherwise why would others bully her?

She wasn't as sweet-talking as his beloved little disciple, nor was she a single or double spiritual root like his other disciples. Moreover, he had been forced to take her in, so it was only natural that he disliked her and neglected her somewhat.

Everyone else is the problem; he has no problems at all. Thinking this, he became even more determined to kill this wretched child.

Lin Yan naturally saw the gloomy face of Ling Yun on the stage.

Thanks to her cultivation reaching the Golden Core stage, she can see objects hundreds of meters away clearly as long as there are no obstructions.

She showed her suffering to everyone, as if it were a wound she had torn open herself.

Looking at her own weak, helpless, and desperate self in the picture, she didn't show much emotion on her face!
What she's doing now is a punitive expedition, a reckoning! She didn't believe a word of the oath Ling Yun Lao Deng swore before, saying he wouldn't kill her!

Unless he dies!

Or perhaps it's because there's a constraint like "if I die, he will die too, but if he dies, I'll be fine" that she would believe it!

This would require Ling Yun to swear a blood oath, but relying on his master's previous pressure would be far from enough.

Therefore, she wanted to take the top spot, reveal the truth to everyone, and put pressure on the entire Xuantian Sect. This was something she had planned long ago, back in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

She didn't expect this outcome to kill Ling Yun, but it could at least get some of the revenge she owed him!

She intended to kill those who were the first to be targeted.

Those disciples who followed suit and bullied him, if they didn't deserve to pay with their lives, then he would punish them in his own way if they weren't punished this time!
Lin Yan put away the Mind-Reading Mirror and continued, "These are just the tip of the iceberg. The bullying I suffered in the Xuan Tian Sect under Venerable Lingyun's tutelage could be played out for three days and three nights!"

She wanted to continue, but Sect Leader Xuan stood up first and said, "I never expected you to have such an experience. It is my mismanagement as the sect leader that has caused you to suffer such treatment. I apologize to you here."

He gave me a warning look as he spoke.

Duan Yi instantly realized that Sect Leader Xuan was threatening her disciple. She immediately retorted.

"How interesting. Your Xuantian Sect has suffered such a disaster, and all you want to do is apologize and be done with it! If she hadn't gone this far, you would have killed her long ago, wouldn't you?"

"Venerable One of Severance of Intent, please be careful with your words..."

"Be careful what you say?" Venerable Duan Yi wasn't buying it and interrupted him directly, "I think you're the one who should be careful what you say! Sect Leader Xuan, look at the suffering this child has endured. You think you can just let it go with an apology? There's no way you can get away with that so easily!"

The crowd below the stage already sympathized with her plight, and seeing someone stand up for Lin Yan, they discussed it even more loudly.

"I never expected Venerable Lingyun to be this kind of person, nor did I expect the Xuantian Sect to be like this!"

"Tsk tsk, after seeing what happened to her, I can only say that my fellow disciples have been quite good to me..." (End of Chapter)
