The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 253: Dilemma and conspiracy

Yun Yao stood in front of the law enforcement elders and everyone else, looking calm, but in her heart she was thinking quickly about the hint given by the system. She knew very well that she had to act cautiously at this moment. If she made a mistake, she would not only fall into an irretrievable situation, but also might implicate her friends who had always trusted her.

"Elder Law Enforcement, I beg you to give me three days. I will be able to prove my innocence. I have always worked hard in the sect and have never violated any sect rules. I hope you can see clearly." Yun Yao spoke sincerely and looked at the Elder Law Enforcement with a firm look in his eyes.

The law enforcement elder frowned slightly, stared at Yun Yao for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Yun Yao, considering that you have performed well in the sect in the past and have never done anything bad, I will give you three days. But you must know that if you cannot prove your innocence after three days, the sect rules are strict and I cannot protect you."

"Thank you for your trust, Law Enforcement Elder. Yun Yao will definitely live up to your expectations." Yun Yao bowed respectfully and turned back to her residence. She knew that time was running out and she had to act quickly.

Yun Yao returned to her room, immediately closed the doors and windows, calmed down, and followed the instructions of the system to start using her special spiritual power detection skills. She took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in her body, and slowly injected it into her eyes. Her eyes were filled with a faint blue light, and the world around her instantly became clear and unusual. She carefully picked up the sachet containing the evil talisman and carefully detected the remaining breath on it.

At first, the scent on the sachet was very weak and chaotic, but Yun Yao relied on the skills granted by the system and her own patience to gradually sort out some clues. In the layers of spiritual power traces, she finally caught a familiar scent - Liu Yan'er's scent. This scent was mixed with the smell of her usual spices and unique spiritual power fluctuations. Although it was extremely subtle, under Yun Yao's detection, it was as obvious as a candle in the dark night.

Yun Yao's heart trembled. Although she had already guessed that it was Liu Yan'er who did it, she couldn't help but feel angry at her insidiousness and cunningness when it was truly confirmed. However, she knew that just relying on this trace of aura was not enough to completely expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy. She needed more evidence.

Therefore, Yun Yao decided to secretly investigate Liu Yan'er's whereabouts and motives. She changed into a light black dress and quietly left her residence under the cover of night. She first came to the courtyard where Liu Yan'er lived, concealed her figure, and quietly observed the movements around her.

Liu Yan'er's residence was brightly lit, and she seemed to be discussing something with someone. Yun Yao approached cautiously, using her spiritual power to shield her own aura so as not to be detected. Through the gap in the window, she saw Liu Yan'er sitting with several disciples from the sect who had ill intentions, with serious expressions and talking in low voices.

Yun Yao used her psychic ear technique and tried hard to listen to their conversation.

"Senior Sister Yan'er, what if we framed Yun Yao this time and she finds out?" a disciple asked worriedly.

Liu Yan'er sneered, "Humph! It's strange that she can find out. Even if she does, we are already prepared. As long as she doesn't have solid evidence, the law enforcement elders won't believe her easily. When she is expelled from the sect, the resources and status of this sect will all be ours."

"But, Senior Sister, I heard that Yun Yao is popular in the sect. What if someone speaks up for her?" another disciple raised a doubt.

"Those people are nothing to be afraid of. As long as we act according to the plan, cooperate with the external evil forces, and take control of the important resources of the sect, then who would dare to go against us?" Liu Yan'er's eyes flashed with greed and complacency.

Yun Yao listened to their conversation and became more and more angry. She didn't expect Liu Yan'er to be so bold and reckless. Not only did she want to frame her, but she also wanted to collude with the evil cultivators to control the sect. She knew that she had to stop their conspiracy as soon as possible, otherwise the sect would face a huge crisis.

Yun Yao continued to follow up and investigate, and she found that Liu Yan'er often left the sect alone late at night and went to a hidden valley in the back mountain. She guessed that this might be where Liu Yan'er contacted the external evil forces.

So, on a dark and windy night, Yun Yao quietly followed Liu Yan'er to the valley behind the mountain again. There was a strange atmosphere in the valley, and it was gloomy and silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling in her ears. Yun Yao carefully concealed her figure and followed behind Liu Yan'er.

Liu Yan'er stopped in the valley, looked around, then took out a black token from her bosom and muttered something. A moment later, a black portal appeared in front of her. Liu Yan'er walked into the portal without hesitation and disappeared.

Yun Yao was shocked. She didn't expect Liu Yan'er to have such a close connection with the evil cultivator that she could even open the portal at will. She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take the risk and follow the portal.

After passing through the portal, Yun Yao arrived at a strange place. It was filled with black fog and a pungent stench. In the fog, some strange evil cultivators could be seen busy doing something.

Yun Yao walked forward carefully, trying not to make any noise. Suddenly, she heard Liu Yan'er's voice.

"Sir, I have framed Yun Yao in the sect as you instructed. As long as she is expelled from the sect, the sect's defense will be weakened, and we can then take the opportunity to seize the sect's treasures." Liu Yan'er said respectfully.

"Hmph! You did a good job. But don't take it lightly. Yun Yao is not someone you can easily deal with. If she finds evidence, all your efforts will be wasted." A low and hoarse voice came.

"Don't worry, sir. I have made all the preparations. Even if she finds evidence, I have a way to make her shut up." Liu Yan'er said confidently.

Yun Yao listened to their conversation and secretly felt lucky that she had followed them in. She knew that this was a great opportunity to expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy. She quietly took out a sound transmission note, recorded the situation here, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, an evil cultivator's demon beast discovered Yun Yao's trail and let out a sharp roar. Liu Yan'er and the other evil cultivators heard the roar and immediately became alert.

"Who? How dare you trespass here!" Liu Yan'er shouted loudly.

Yun Yao knew that she had been exposed, so she stopped hiding and stood up.

"Liu Yan'er, your conspiracy will not succeed. I have recorded your conversation. Today is your doomsday." Yun Yao raised the sound transmission note in her hand and said coldly.

When Liu Yan'er saw Yun Yao, she was stunned at first, and then she showed a ferocious smile.

"Yun Yao, do you think you can leave here alive? Today is your burial place." After Liu Yan'er said this, she and other evil cultivators launched an attack on Yun Yao.

Yun Yao was well prepared. She quickly cast a spiritual shield to block the enemy's attack. At the same time, she formed a seal with her hands, chanted something, and cast a powerful attack spell, launching a fierce battle with the evil cultivators.

During the battle, Yun Yao discovered that the strength of these evil cultivators was much stronger than she had imagined, but she did not back down. Relying on her wisdom and the skills provided by the system, she cleverly dodged the enemy's attacks and looked for the enemy's flaws.

She found that although the attacks of these evil cultivators were fierce, their coordination was not tacit. So Yun Yao decided to take advantage of this and defeat them one by one. She first performed a clone technique to create several phantoms to confuse the enemy. Then, she seized the opportunity, concentrated her spiritual power, and launched a fatal attack on one of the evil cultivators.

The evil cultivator was caught off guard and was hit by Yun Yao. He screamed and fell to the ground. The other evil cultivators were a little panicked when they saw their companions injured. Yun Yao took the opportunity to launch a series of attacks and injured several more evil cultivators.

Seeing Yun Yao so powerful, Liu Yan'er became even more angry. She took action herself and cast a vicious spell, trying to defeat Yun Yao in one fell swoop. Yun Yao felt the power of Liu Yan'er's spell, but she did not retreat. Instead, she concentrated her energy and started a fierce spell duel with Liu Yan'er.

The two people's spells collided, emitting dazzling light and strong spiritual power fluctuations. Yun Yao knew that her spiritual power was not as strong as Liu Yan'er's, but she relied on the special skills provided by the system and her own tenacious perseverance to stalemate with Liu Yan'er.

During the battle, Yun Yao gradually discovered the flaws in Liu Yan'er's magic. She seized the opportunity and unleashed her strongest attack, successfully breaking Liu Yan'er's magic defense and repelling her.

Seeing that Liu Yan'er was injured, Liu Yan'er's accomplices retreated. Yun Yao took the opportunity to take out the sound transmission talisman and prepared to leave. But at this moment, the evil cultivator who colluded with Liu Yan'er took action. He cast a powerful forbidden spell and trapped Yun Yao in it.

"Want to leave? Not that easy. You all will die here today." The evil cultivator said coldly.

Yun Yao was trapped in the restriction, feeling a little anxious. She knew that she had to find a way to break through the restriction as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. She calmed down and thought about the method that the system had taught her before to break the restriction.

After some effort, Yun Yao finally found the flaw in the restriction. She concentrated all her spiritual power and launched a full-strength attack, successfully breaking the restriction. Then, she rushed into the portal without hesitation and returned to the valley behind the mountain.

Liu Yan'er and the other evil cultivators saw Yun Yao escape and wanted to chase her, but it was too late. They could only watch Yun Yao disappear into the portal.

After Yun Yao returned to the sect, she immediately returned to her residence. She knew that although she had temporarily escaped danger, she was not completely safe yet. She had to sort out the evidence she had collected as soon as possible, and within three days, expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy and clear her own grievances.

She carefully sorted out the contents of the sound transmission note, and listed the other evidence she found during the investigation. She knew that these evidences were enough to prove Liu Yan'er's crime, but she still needed to consider how to present these evidences to the law enforcement elder so that he would believe her words.

Yunyao decided to find some friends who trusted her first, tell them what happened, and let them testify for her at the critical moment. She found Xiaocui and told her about her experience and discovery in detail. After hearing this, Xiaocui was filled with righteous indignation and said that she would fully support Yunyao.

Afterwards, Yun Yao found several elders in the sect and reported the evidence she had collected and Liu Yan'er's conspiracy to them. The elders were shocked after hearing this. They did not expect that there was such a huge crisis hidden in the sect. They decided to work with Yun Yao to expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy within three days and protect the safety of the sect.

In the next two days, Yun Yao and the elders discussed the plan to expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy. They decided to expose Liu Yan'er's crimes in public at the sect meeting so that all the disciples would know the truth.

Finally, on the third day, all the disciples gathered at the sect meeting. The law enforcement elder sat on the stage with a serious expression.

Yun Yao stood up, walked to the front of the stage, saluted to the law enforcement elder, and began to talk about her experience and the results of her investigation. She played the contents of the sound transmission note and showed everyone the evidence she had collected one by one.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked. They had never thought that Liu Yan'er would be so insidious and cunning, colluding with the evil cultivators to frame her fellow disciples.

When Liu Yan'er saw her conspiracy being exposed, her face turned pale, but she still pretended to be calm.

"Yun Yao, stop slandering me. These evidences are all forged by you. You want to frame me." Liu Yan'er argued.

Yun Yao sneered: "Liu Yan'er, don't quibble anymore. I have witnesses."

Afterwards, Xiao Cui and several elders stood up to testify for Yun Yao, and they recounted in detail what they knew.

After hearing this, the law enforcement elder's face darkened. He looked at Liu Yan'er with anger in his eyes.

"Liu Yan'er, as a disciple of your sect, you actually did something that violated the sect's rules. You colluded with evil cultivators and framed your fellow disciples. Your crime is unforgivable." The law enforcement elder said sternly.

In the end, the sect decided to expel Liu Yan'er and her accomplices from the sect, and conducted a comprehensive investigation of the sect to prevent the infiltration of evil forces.

In this incident, Yun Yao not only successfully cleared her grievances, but also made great contributions to the sect. Her status in the sect was further improved, and she became a role model for many disciples to learn from.
