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...
Holding the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill, Bai Ying understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
With such a treasure in hand, she has become the target of everyone's envy. The reason why the people around her haven't made a move to seize it is because the various sects are keeping each other in check, but once she leaves this place, some people will definitely be unable to restrain themselves.
Although she is unrivaled among the younger generation, she has no chance of winning if a Nascent Soul cultivator attacks.
Bai Ying was about to leave quickly, but just then Meng Xingchen said to her:
"Since I gave you this Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill, I will protect you for a while. If anyone dares to try to take it from you, just crush this thing, and I will appear immediately to help you deal with him!"
As he spoke, Meng Xingchen tossed a token to Bai Ying.
Bai Ying accepted the token and said to Meng Xingchen, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I just found your cultivation technique interesting. Take good care of your spiritual root, and I'll come back to get it next time."
Afterwards, Meng Xingchen left with his disciple, Shadow Blade.
Bai Ying didn't know much about Meng Xingchen, but she knew he had a reputation for being a man of his word, always doing what he promised. This style didn't seem like that of a demon.
Now that she had the Demon Lord's promise, she felt relieved.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to take anything from the Huayang Sect with her.
Seeing this, some cultivators realized that the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill was hopeless, so they bid farewell to the Huayang Sect Master and left.
Bai Ying put away the pill, preparing to go to Huayang Sect to pack her belongings and take them with her. Lin Yizhi excitedly ran towards Bai Ying.
"Boss, that's awesome!"
Lin Yizhi did not try to stop Bai Ying from staying; instead, he was genuinely happy for her.
He thought that if he were Bai Ying, he would have left long ago.
With fellow disciples and a master present, he really couldn't stand it for even a day.
He had seen favoritism before, but he had never seen such favoritism from Bai Ying's fellow disciples and master.
Ruan Xinrou treated Bai Ying so badly, yet Qin Hua Zhenren still let it go so easily. Yan Chiling went even further, actually treating Bai Ying like a puppet.
You really should travel as far away from places like this as possible.
"Sigh, if I weren't the sect leader's son, I would have left with you."
Lin Yizhi said with some regret, "But it's okay. I'll come visit you when you find a new sect."
Bai Ying nodded to him, then took out a sword from her storage ring and handed it to Lin Yizhi.
"This is what I've been making for you these past two days. It's worth it for you calling me 'boss'."
Lin Yizhi's eyes lit up when he saw the sword.
He had witnessed Bai Ying's weapon-forging abilities and knew how formidable she was.
He couldn't be happier now that Bai Ying had specially forged this sword for him.
"Thanks, boss! Boss, I'll go with you to pack your things."
As the Huayang Sect Master watched Bai Ying and Lin Yizhi's figures, he felt his heart bleeding.
They have a good relationship, and he had even tried to set them up before.
The Huayang Sect Master said helplessly to Qin Hua Zhenren, "I really don't know what you're thinking? Are you crazy? You don't want such a good disciple, but insist on Ruan Xinrou? I really understand you less and less."
Now things are really messed up; the sect's most precious treasure has been won by the demons, and the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill is gone too.
Do you know that the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill is what you need most? With it, you might break through to the Nascent Soul stage! Our sect could be much stronger than it is now.
Now...
"You're not crazy, but I am!"
As he spoke, the Huayang Sect Master was so angry he was almost dead.
However, Master Qin Hua showed no change in expression.
He simply said slowly:
"During my seclusion, I had a dream. I dreamt that Ruan Xinrou not only broke through the Nascent Soul stage, but even broke through the Void Refinement stage."
Bai Ying could only be trampled underfoot by Ruan Xinrou.
Bai Ying was no match for Ruan Xinrou; she suffered a crushing defeat against her.
"Really?"
The sect leader of Huayang was immediately shocked.
You should know that when someone reaches the level of True Person Qin Hua, even their dreams are not ordinary dreams.
Qin Hua Zhenren possesses exceptional predictive abilities; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his dreams are prophetic.
No wonder Master Qin Hua chose Ruan Xinrou over Bai Ying; it turns out Ruan Xinrou has unlimited potential. Bai Ying, on the other hand, only seems impressive now.
The Void Refinement stage! That was a realm he never dared to dream of. He never imagined that Ruan Xinrou would become so powerful.
"If a sect could produce a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, wouldn't they be able to roam freely across this continent?"
Qin Hua nodded.
The Huayang Sect Master was even happier.
"Then we should focus our resources on Ruan Xinrou from now on, to help her break through to the Void Refinement stage as soon as possible."
"It's a pity about that Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill. Even with Meng Xingchen's token, we can't force Bai Ying to hand over the pill."
Qin Hua Zhenren's eyes also darkened as he thought of the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill.
In fact, when he dreamed of Bai Ying being trampled underfoot by Ruan Xinrou, he had already given up on this disciple.
He didn't really like Bai Ying to begin with.
This apprentice is cunning and always bullies Ruan Xinrou.
He had long wanted to expel her from the sect.
He wouldn't have taken her as his disciple if it weren't for her great fortune.
It seems that Bai Ying's luck is nothing special, not even comparable to Ruan Xinrou's.
However, even though he had been thinking this way, he felt a sense of loss after he had just told Bai Ying to leave.
It's because although Bai Ying is cunning, she treats him extremely well...
This apprentice, no matter what good things come his way, will always think of him and bring them to him first.
If I hadn't made her leave before, she might have automatically handed over the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill to me.
While Master Qin Hua was still pondering this, his eldest disciple, Su Yu, rushed over in a hurry.
Su Yu was unaware of what was happening here. His sixth junior brother, Qin Zijin, was about to leave the Cliff of Contemplation, so he went to fetch him.
There was a slight mishap over there, and he was delayed for a while.
But when he returned, he was surprised to hear that Bai Ying had left the sect!
Su Yu felt like the sky was about to collapse.
He knew that Bai Ying was somewhat dissatisfied with them, and their relationship was currently very bad. In fact, he had a premonition that this day would come when Bai Ying chose to disperse her cultivation and start cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness again.
But he didn't expect this day to come so soon!
After his fifth junior sister voluntarily gave up her feelings for them, is she now going to leave them again?
Su Yu could not accept it, no matter what.
He didn't want his fifth junior sister to leave the sect!
He ran up to Qin Hua Zhenren and knelt down.
"Master, please rescind your order. Don't let Fifth Junior Sister leave, okay? I beg you!"
As he spoke, Su Yu kowtowed deeply to Qin Hua.
Qin Hua frowned as he looked at his eldest apprentice.
After a long silence, he said as if he had made up his mind:
"Fine, for your sake. As long as she's willing to hand over the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill, I'll allow her to stay."
