Bai Ying clenched her hands tightly.

In her past life, she accidentally stumbled into that incredibly terrifying forbidden area.

At that time, she had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, and her strength was many times greater than it is now.

However, even so, she almost lost her life simply by accidentally wandering into that terrifying place.

That unidentified corpse was not something that should exist in their world; rather, it had descended from the upper realm. In their world, even the most powerful cultivators could never contend with a True Immortal, and even a mere corpse of a True Immortal possessed terrifying power that inspired despair.

A resolute ruthlessness flashed in Bai Ying's eyes for a fleeting moment. She turned around abruptly, her gaze piercing as she stared straight at the group of pursuers behind her. They were like leeches, clinging to her relentlessly, their faces contorted with greed and savagery, the ugliness of their desires laid bare in their twisted expressions.

Without giving these people even a second to hesitate, Bai Ying suddenly turned in the air and flew swiftly towards that area full of unknowns and dangers without hesitation.

Behind her, a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators surged forward like a black, turbulent tide, or like rolling dark clouds that blotted out the sky, rapidly pressing towards the direction Bai Ying was fleeing. Their speed was extremely fast, and the air currents they created made the surrounding air howl sharply.

Before everyone's eyes, Bai Ying plunged headfirst into a deep, dark cave. The instant her figure disappeared, an immense and terrifying pressure, like an ancient beast awakening after ten thousand years of slumber, surged forth from the depths of the cave. Even the slightest leak of this True Immortal pressure felt like an invisible mountain weighing millions of tons, crashing down upon everyone.

Everyone felt a sudden tightness in their chests, and their breaths stopped instantly, as if an invisible hand was gripping their throats.

Everyone's face showed surprise.

The sect leader of Xiyun Sect had a dark and gloomy face, his eyes flashing with cold light as he stared coldly at Bai Ying inside the cave. His voice seemed to come from the deepest hell: "Do you really think you can escape? With so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators here, I advise you to surrender obediently and stop making these futile struggles to avoid adding to your suffering!" The sect leader's eyes were now filled with undisguised killing intent. He had long lost patience and no longer wanted to play this cat-and-mouse game with Bai Ying.

They had already wasted too much time and even lost two Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the process of dealing with a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Seeing Bai Ying still desperately fleeing, they didn't hesitate for a moment and gave chase. Although they had all keenly sensed the faint aura of danger ahead, they were confident in their numbers and were all experts at the Nascent Soul stage, so none of them took the danger seriously.

In their minds, once they captured Bai Ying, they not only wanted her to obediently hand over the precious elixir formula, but also to find out exactly how she, with only a Nascent Soul stage cultivation, so easily killed a Deity Transformation stage cultivator. This Bai Ying was far too strange, exuding an unfathomable mystery. Only by understanding all of this could they safely eliminate her to avoid leaving behind endless troubles.

However, to their surprise, the moment they entered the cave, they felt an extremely terrifying pressure coming from all directions, enveloping them all. Everyone was startled, and their steps slowed down, as if they had begun to hesitate.

Just then, a graceful lotus flower quietly bloomed not far away, like a fairy detached from the world. And in the very center of the lotus, a crystal-clear white jade pendant seemed to be gently lifted by an invisible hand, floating leisurely.

The jade pendant radiated a warm, lustrous sheen, its gentle light rippling like waves on water, bathing everything in a sacred glow. A single glance was enough to assure one that this was no ordinary object, but a rare and priceless treasure.

As expected, the group of people whose minds were blinded by greed were instantly drawn to the jade pendant, and the greed in their eyes surged like a raging tide.

In their eyes, all previous concerns about danger had vanished; only the jade pendant, radiating an alluring light, remained. They exchanged a glance, understanding each other without a word, and without hesitation, strode quickly toward the pendant, their steps hurried and greedy.

Bai Ying had been worried that the group would be too intimidated by the terrifying pressure to enter. But now it seemed they hadn't been able to resist the allure of the priceless treasure.

Bai Ying sneered inwardly. She knew that once this group of people stepped into this special space, it would be like stepping into a carefully laid death trap. Getting out would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Thinking of this, Bai Ying's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, revealing a cruel smile.

The gazes of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators swept over Bai Ying, and then they all let out a sneer at her. One of them shouted at the top of his lungs, "Deal with this little girl first, get the formula from her, and then we'll go get the jade pendant."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with greed.

Outside the Qiankun Mirror, the cultivators of the Lingyin Sect all wore solemn expressions, their faces filled with worry. They stared intently at the scene reflected in the mirror, their eyes brimming with anxiety and helplessness. They knew that the space Bai Ying and the others had entered was an absolute death trap. Bai Ying couldn't escape!

The cultivators of the Lingyin Sect felt a pang of pain in their hearts upon witnessing this scene. Some couldn't bear to look and turned their heads away; others clenched their fists until their knuckles turned white, wishing they could rush into the Qiankun Mirror to help Bai Ying; still others sighed softly, their eyes filled with despair, as they couldn't bear to watch any longer, fearing that they would see Bai Ying meet with misfortune at any moment.

However, at that very moment, an exceptionally terrifying aura suddenly surged forth from beneath the lotus flower.

Before anyone could react, the aura rapidly condensed, transforming into an enormous hand. This hand radiated a deep, dark light and was covered with strange patterns, as if countless wronged souls were struggling and twisting upon it.

With lightning speed, it suddenly reached out towards the nearest Nascent Soul cultivator.
