Chapter 364: Xiao Shui Sect’s Shocking Courtroom Drama

In other words, apart from the signboard from five hundred years ago, everything else in Xiao Shui Sect now belongs to the couple’s joint property.

And this amount of money is astronomical.

The clerk meticulously recorded the courtroom proceedings, while the bald, gray-bearded Judgment Chief sat behind the high table, looking serene.

This Judgment Chief is the most senior and authoritative Chief Judge in the Prison Law Heavenly Palace; it is said he is a Great Mahayana Stage cultivator who has long severed the three corpses—a being without emotions, as serene as water. His judgments are uninfluenced by personal feelings.

"Objection!"

Yuan Zhixia suddenly raised her hand, and said as she stood up, "The evidence submitted by the plaintiff is problematic. The situation that day does not count as domestic violence, at most it was mutual shoving.

Otherwise, if two Cave Void Stage cultivators fought to the death, the entire mountain would be leveled.

As for the injuries, they are baseless; Cave Void Stage cultivators have mastered True Essence Void, Divine Transformation, and other abilities, surface wounds can heal in a single breath,

It’s worth noting that the plaintiff presented medical records from Baihua Valley, and one of Baihua Valley’s Valley Master’s lovers is the plaintiff’s close friend, who is seated right here in the audience."

After implying the interest entanglement between the two parties, Yuan Zhixia continued, "Finally, and most crucially, the plaintiff did not mention, or rather deliberately ignored, the cause of the dispute—the Monk Miao Yin has maintained improper relationships for the past five years with multiple personnel from Xiao Shui Sect, including Sect Elder Zhao, Guest Elder Dong, Chief Disciple Zhang, Chuan Gong Hall Master Wang, and Steward Qian..."

Yuan Zhixia rattled off a long list of names, both men and women, as if reading a menu.

Despite being mentally prepared, Xiao Shui’s face still turned green upon hearing in court that he’d been cuckolded for years by his own disciples.

The faces of the clerk, judges, and others in the courtroom also turned colorful, even the bald old judge who had been squinting his eyes opened them and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes."

Zhang Wei stood up and picked up several pieces of jade dishware.

"We protest!"

Howard from the plaintiff’s side immediately stood up, "Immortal Court laws stipulate that all evidence submitted to the court must be obtained through legal means, such as written materials acknowledged by a party or public place imagery.

Any evidence obtained through illegal means like surreptitious filming or eavesdropping is not considered legal evidence,"

"So as long as it’s openly filmed, it’s not considered surreptitious filming, right?"

Yuan Zhixia spread her hands and said, "Your Honor, this first piece of jade dishware is surveillance footage from outside Luoshui Cave in Xiao Shui Sect, which is considered public place imagery and not within the scope of illegal evidence. Can it be played?"

"..."

The bald judge thought for a moment and then nodded, "Plaintiff’s lawyer’s protest is invalid, continue with the playback."

Just waiting for that sentence.

Yuan Zhixia lightly tapped it; a three-dimensional projection emerged from the center of the jade dishware.

The footage showed the time as six months ago, with Monk Miao Yin, the sect leader’s wife, laughing and chatting with a group of sect juniors as they walked past Luoshui Cave. Suddenly, she found an excuse to dismiss the others, leaving behind a pure-looking girl with buns. Miao Yin smiled softly and held the latter’s small hand.

"Pingping, do you know what to do later?"

"I... I know. But master, will we not feel guilty towards the sect leader for doing this..."

"What’s guilt or no guilt, as long as you improve your cultivation, you’ll be worthy of the sect and the sect leader."

"But..."

"Do you still want to progress?"

"...Yes."

"Then come with me!"

After saying that, she led the girl into the empty Luoshui Cave. They emerged an hour later with their clothes slightly disheveled.

"Next is the second piece of evidence."

Yuan Zhixia continued manipulating the jade dishware, constantly displaying imagery evidence, including but not limited to the Scripture Pavilion, Alchemy Room, Chuan Gong Hall...

Although there were no explicit shots, the occasional low breath sounds in the background were enough to prove everything.

’Hmph.’

Zhang Wei chuckled to himself; generally, infidelity, like sporadic extramarital sexual affairs, is not directly regarded as "major fault" in law.

However, their side has too much evidence of multiple people involved in long-term affairs repeatedly, which can’t be considered sporadic extramarital affairs. It’s enough to be regarded as a major fault, affecting divorce damage compensations.

"..."

As expected, the clerk and judges tried hard to maintain their expressions but couldn’t completely hide them, glancing sympathetically at Xiao Shui.

This guy is after all a Cave Void Stage cultivator, a cultivation world leader, looking good and wealthy beyond imagination.

Miao Yin still chose not to be with him and went out to find third, fourth, fifth lovers.

Cheating is bad enough, but she couldn’t have chosen better quality ones? Even the gatekeeper Qin Da ye in the sect was not spared.

Facing the glances, the defendant’s seat showed calm and expected looks, not only Monk Miao Yin, but also Howard, Haye, Zhong Tian Arctic, and other lawyers.

Hmm?

Unusual occurrences must have something behind them. Just when Zhang Wei was puzzled, Monk Miao Yin slowly stood up, first glancing at the gritting Xiao Shui, and then turned to the judge, "Your Honor, all these pieces of evidence are false."

?!

Such blatant lies not only raised Yuan Zhixia’s eyebrows but also attracted more looks from the judges.

"Heaven as witness, during my over a hundred years of marriage, I have never betrayed Xiao Shui. The footage only exists due to some minor mistakes in my work."

After speaking, she took out a box from her ring, with Li Cheng’s Information Integration Glasses clearly showing the box’s name—Heart Purifying Treasure.
