Upper River County.
Within the temple of the Heavenly Will Sect,
Jing Shiyu looked around at the gathering in the hall and spoke indifferently, "Jing Yuwei has been tyrannical and corrupt in our sect for years, embezzling assets that she couldn't spend in a lifetime. Yet, she still sought to collude with outsiders, plotting against us, her mentors and disciples, and to swallow the whole Dongya Prefecture."
After her speech, those in the hall who held grudges against Jing Yuwei silently nodded, their longstanding resentments stirred.
Then, Jing Shiyu clapped her hands, and servants brought in chests upon chests of gold, silver, jewels, and stacks of books.
"This search of the witch Jing Yuwei's mansion indeed proved fruitful, her embezzled assets from over the years were recovered. These originally belonged to our fellow brothers and sisters in the sect, but she shifted them to her private stash. Today, I will return them to everyone present here."
