With just a few words, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, striking directly down towards Jiang Yun. The lightning struck his body with pinpoint accuracy, instantly engulfing him. His body trembled violently, emitting a painful roar. In mere moments, he, who had just been confidently declaring his intention to divide the Lingxiao Sect, his face radiating greed and arrogance, was utterly powerless against this terrifying divine might, reduced to a dried-up corpse.

His skin rapidly withered, the moisture evaporated instantly, and his muscles clung tightly to his bones. His once vibrant life force vanished completely, leaving only a gruesome shell lying on the ground in an extremely bizarre posture, signifying his death.

For a moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Those who had just entered the killing formation, in particular, stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with terror and shock.

You should know that Jiang Yun is a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage!

His cultivation level was much higher than Bai Ying's, but now Bai Ying had killed him with just a few words?

"What...what are you kidding me? What is this?"

"This isn't the strength of someone in the early Nascent Soul stage. Even a Deity Transformation stage cultivator couldn't kill a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator in a single breath! There's definitely a trap here. Everyone, let's go!"

The person who spoke immediately took out his flying artifact and quickly flew out of the formation. The others also scattered like birds and beasts.

However, they completely failed to notice that the cultivator who had been in the formation earlier had an expression of utter despair.

Bai Ying looked at them coldly and said, "Don't waste your energy, you can't escape."

They thought Bai Ying was talking nonsense. With so many people here, even if the Lingxiao Sect had a lot of people and were very capable, they couldn't possibly stop everyone here.

But to their complete surprise, the place in front of them was like a maze, and no matter how they flew, they would always return to the same spot.

Some people refused to believe in the supernatural and tried desperately to fly away, but they just couldn't escape this place.

"What the hell is this?"

Only then did these people's expressions completely change, and none of them could believe it.

They looked at the group of people who had come in earlier; those people had already given up trying to escape, their faces filled with bitterness. It seemed they had already tried.

These people were practically going crazy: "You knew this place was eerie, didn't you? Then why didn't you warn us? Why did you let us in?"

"Of course I want to drag you all down with me!"

Xuanyuan Chen burst into laughter.

The cultivators who had arrived earlier said helplessly, "We thought you would make some breakthroughs, but it turns out you're just like us, unable to even escape."

For a moment, everyone's mind was in complete disbelief.

They can't escape, and they're constantly under attack from the lightning. What are they supposed to do?

The tense atmosphere, like an invisible net, tightly enveloped everyone present, making it hard to breathe. Just then, someone in the crowd could no longer contain their restlessness and fear and made a sudden move. "I think the strange thing is with Bai Ying; just kill her!"

He suddenly raised his hand, and a long sword, gleaming with a cold light, instantly flew from its sheath, carrying a resolute aura as it shot impatiently towards Bai Ying. The long sword drew a cold arc in the air, its tip aimed directly at Bai Ying's forehead, as if it would pierce her skull and take her life in the next second.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded once again. Just as the longsword was about to touch Bai Ying, the blade suddenly seemed to sink into an invisible swamp, its speed drastically reduced. Then, as if frozen in place, it abruptly stopped in mid-air. The blade, which had been gleaming with a chilling light, now became dull and lifeless, as if all its vitality had been drained away.

Before everyone could recover from this sudden turn of events, something even more terrifying happened.

The person who acted rashly was instantly enveloped in billowing black smoke, which, like the tentacles of a demon, swiftly engulfed him. He didn't even have time to scream before his living body was devoured by the eerie black smoke in an instant, leaving only a skeleton exuding a sinister aura, standing alone in place.

The person standing next to the monk cried out in horror, "How did you do that?"

Bai Ying looked at the man's remains with a cold smile and took out the fragments of the killing array she had obtained earlier.

What do you think?

The crowd stared at the green fragment, puzzled, only sensing the complexity of the inscriptions on it and the ancient aura emanating from the fragment.

Only Qin Hua Zhenren saw it at a glance.

He looked at Bai Ying in disbelief, only then realizing why he had lost to her.

He had studied this formation for so long and finally figured out how to use it, but he never expected that Bai Ying would even have the key to it.

She can completely control this formation, so how could I possibly defeat Bai Ying!

Qin Hua Zhenren's face was filled with unparalleled bitterness. He suddenly collapsed to the ground, laughing and crying at the same time.

He never imagined that despite all his scheming, he would die here.

"You bastard! It was you who plotted against me!"

He pointed at Bai Ying and shouted, "You actually have the key to this killing formation, and can control this terrifying formation at will. So this formation wasn't discovered by chance by our sect disciples, but by you! You sent the message, and you deliberately led us into this killing formation step by step!"

Bai Ying nodded in agreement, "Yes, what else?"

Qin Hua Zhenren coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He pointed at the group of cultivators who had arrived later and said, "You lured them here too, didn't you! Bai Ying, you're truly ruthless!"

Qin Hua Zhenren's words caused a huge stir, and everyone looked at Bai Ying in disbelief.

They simply couldn't believe that Bai Ying would come up with such a vicious scheme.

But Bai Ying actually curled up the corners of her mouth and slowly smiled.

"This formation is so powerful that it will inevitably be exposed once it is used. In that case, why don't I spread the news that the Lingxiao Sect is about to be divided up and let more people in? Since you want the Lingxiao Sect to be destroyed, why can't I let you all die together?"
