After Severing Her Emotions, the Whole Sect Was Overwhelmed with Grief

In her previous life, Bai Ying gave everything she had to the sect—her heart, her soul, her loyalty. But all she got in return was disdain.

Her Master despised her, her senior brothers aban...

Chapter 39 It is truly a blessing for our sect that she can be within its ranks.

The next day, the area outside the Demon Suppression Tower was already crowded with people. Because Bai Ying's performance on the first day was so outstanding, today's challenge had attracted everyone's attention.

Ruan Xinrou was both excited and somewhat worried.

She's been cultivating frantically these past two days. Yan Chiling gave her a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills, and she's also kept all of Bai Ying's rewards for herself. If she consumes all these spiritual herbs and medicines, she should be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Then, even if she goes out, she won't arouse suspicion.

Ruan Xinrou swallowed all the spiritual medicine at once, and in order not to give herself away, she was desperately cultivating.

On Bai Ying's side, the first two challenges were so difficult that the following challenges seemed very easy. With Bai Ying as the backbone of the group, they quickly reached the final challenge.

The final level features the nest of the Golden-Winged Roc.

When all the cultivators present saw these golden-winged rocs, they couldn't help but gasp.

Because there were more than one Golden-Winged Roc, who were also at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, here—there were actually five of them!

The oppressive aura emanating from the five golden-winged rocs simultaneously caused everyone present to tremble.

"Ruan Xinrou is very powerful, but she can only handle one Golden-Winged Roc at most. There are five here. How can we possibly get through?"

Everyone present unconsciously turned their gaze toward Bai Ying.

They kept asking Bai Ying, "Junior Sister Ruan, what are your plans?"

"Yeah, are you confident? Do we need to set up a formation or something?"

But Bai Ying didn't answer anyone. She just stared blankly at the golden-winged roc.

My mind was filled with images of being pinned down by the Golden-Winged Roc in my past life, having my arm pierced, and being viciously bitten.

Yan Chiling kept glancing at Bai Ying. He noticed that Bai Ying was trembling more violently than the others, as if she had once suffered harm from the Golden-Winged Roc.

Yan Chiling subconsciously placed his hand on Bai Ying's shoulder and asked her, "Are you alright?"

But the moment his hand touched her, Bai Ying excitedly flung it away, shouting, "Get away! Don't touch me!"

Bai Ying's words startled Yan Chiling.

He knew Bai Ying disliked him, but after being under the illusion spell for the past two days, Bai Ying had been very obedient. Yan Chiling had gotten used to Bai Ying standing obediently by his side, and suddenly being rejected by her like this made him feel as if a piece of his heart was missing.

Fearing something might go wrong, Yan Chiling added another layer of illusion to Bai Ying.

Bai Ying didn't notice his little movements; her eyes were fixed on the Golden-Winged Roc.

Then he slowly drew his sword.

Everyone thought she was about to start planning her strategy.

Unexpectedly, she charged towards Dapeng all by herself, sword in hand.

"She's planning to take on five Golden-Winged Rocs all by herself?"

"How is this possible?"

Everyone was on tenterhooks for Bai Ying, even Yan Chiling was in disbelief.

"Is she insane, trying to fight five Golden Core stage Golden Winged Rocs all by herself?!"

Bai Ying's eyes were resolute and sharp, her face showing no fear, her hand gripping her longsword tightly. She took a deep breath, gathering all her spiritual power into the sword. The next moment, she swung the sword fiercely, slashing towards the Golden-Winged Roc. The Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash was instantly triggered, a dazzling light flashing like lightning across the void. That terrifying technique of tearing through the void reappeared, its powerful force causing the space itself to tremble slightly. With a "whoosh," the last Roc didn't even have time to react before Bai Ying cleaved its body in two. Blood gushed out like a waterfall.

At the same time, the other four roc birds swooped down on Bai Ying. She could kill one of them, but she couldn't attack so many at the same time.

"Is it youth or overconfidence?"

"Sigh, if we had used an array, we might have been able to trap the other four. Now we've definitely lost."

No one thought Bai Ying could win, but Bai Ying looked at the four rocs without flinching at all, as if she had foreseen it, and instantly took to the air.

A thunderous roar erupted from above her head, striking the four giant roc birds as they flew over.

At the same time, the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash was triggered again, but this time it was different from before. A huge fiery dragon emerged from Bai Ying's sword energy, its red flames tearing through the void with intense heat. Its power was many times greater than before.

The sword energy suddenly erupted, and the four rocs, already unable to move from the lightning, were now even more unable to dodge.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses of all five roc birds fell to the ground.

At this moment, all the cultivators, both inside and outside the arena, were deeply shocked by everything Bai Ying had shown.

"What did she just use? Why did flames and fire appear on the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Piercing Slash? And what was that lightning?"

Those with lower cultivation levels had no idea what Bai Ying was using.

Only the sect's elders could see it clearly.

The Grand Elder's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's the Fiery Dragon Burning Heaven Technique! Ruan Xinrou actually cultivated such a difficult technique to the third level, and can release the Fiery Dragon and then combine it with the Spirit Rhinoceros Void-Breaking Slash. This is simply a genius's achievement."

"How old is she? She's already so amazing. I underestimated her yesterday. This kind of child can't even be described as a genius. It's a blessing for our sect that she's here."

What was that lightning that appeared above her head?

The elders were already eager to summon "Ruan Xinrou" from the tower. In the past two days, this female cultivator named Ruan Xinrou had brought everyone endless shock.

The moves she used were so complex that even they couldn't understand them.

When the elders asked her a question, Bai Ying replied directly, "The lightning was a heavenly tribulation. If it weren't for the heavenly tribulation, I wouldn't have been able to kill all five Golden-Winged Rocs at the same time with my current cultivation level."

Bai Ying's words made everyone present gasp.

It is said that cultivating the Flaming Dragon Burning Heaven Technique to the third level will attract a heavenly tribulation due to its heaven-defying nature. However, no one has ever witnessed this heavenly tribulation.

But I never expected to witness this today.

The Grand Elder was very pleased with the girl before him. If she didn't already have a master, he would have loved to take her as his personal disciple.

"Tomorrow, I will reward every disciple who has passed the final test in the sect's square. As for Ruan Xinrou, because of her outstanding performance, I will personally pass on a set of cultivation techniques to her!"

The elder's words made everyone present extremely envious.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xinrou's breathing became even heavier.

That's the Grand Elder's set of techniques. If I could learn it, I would definitely become very powerful.

She quickly sent a communication talisman to Yan Chiling, saying she would go in person tomorrow.

But Yan Chiling actually replied to her:

"Xinrou, let Baiying go tomorrow."
