Chapter 50 050 Rong Xiao hadn't expected to be rejected.

Rong Ying was stunned for a moment. For a brief moment, she felt that her daughter's demeanor was somewhat similar to that of her elder sister, Rong Yuejun.

Taking advantage of the moment, Shen Zhiwei encouraged him, pressing her advantage: "That's right! If Rong Xiaoxiu isn't afraid at such a young age, then we adult cultivators shouldn't be afraid either."

Then she turned her head and said to Rong Ying, "Fairy Rong, please activate the array bead."

This is the third time today that Shen Zhiwei has asked Rong Ying to activate the array beads.

Rong Ying's mental fortitude was somewhat lacking, but she has finally recovered and regained some spirits.

There was still blood on Rong Ying's sword. She had just killed the demon wolf, and her daughter's words had aroused the Rong family daughter's ferocity. She didn't seem so wooden anymore.

After all, with the sword immortal Rong Yuejun as their predecessor, the female cultivators of the Rong family have always been known for their fierceness.

Rong Ying activated the array bead, and her personality became more active. She instructed the cultivators present to take their positions according to the array's location, so that they could work together to protect it.

In this way, the magic array transformed from a passive defense to an active enhancement, greatly strengthening its defensive capabilities. As a result, even the previous cracks slowly healed and were repaired.

Rong Yuejun's gift to his younger sister was indeed a good one; it's just that Rong Ying was frightened just now and used it improperly.

The black-scaled beast charged several more times, and although the impact was strong, it did not cause any cracks as it had before.

Having first slain the demonic beasts and now successfully protected the formation, Rong Ying gradually gained confidence and composure, and her initially panicked expression softened. As she instructed everyone on their positions to protect the formation, she also gradually regained some of her usual ostentatious air.

Shen Zhiwei, on the other hand, kept to herself and remained a bystander.

Shen Zhiwei was still thinking to herself, "A mother's love makes her strong. This mother-daughter relationship is truly touching and remarkable."

Jiang Bin took in all of this, and his expression darkened, a hint of ruthlessness creeping into his eyes.

The Rong family mother and daughter are more eye-catching now, but Jiang Bin is paying attention to Shen Zhiwei.

On the surface, it seemed that Rong Ying had recovered and turned the tide, but in reality, it was Sect Leader Shen who was secretly controlling the situation.

Shen Zhiwei's understanding was different from Jiang Bin's, and perhaps also different from Jiang Bin's previous understanding.

At least in Jiang Bin's heart, the gentle and cunning woman who seemed naive and unworldly was protected as pure and innocent.

Even though they have similar mannerisms, they don't seem to be the same person.

Jiang Bin's smugness faded slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Everything happened so fast that everyone was overwhelmed with information. Now that everyone has calmed down, they are slowly recovering.

There were three wolf carcasses and two other corpses at the scene.

Liu Rumei's body was at least intact, but Su Wanqing had been gnawed to pieces in a few quick movements, lying on the ground covered in blood, which was not a pleasant sight.

The magic array has not yet been breached; these casualties are purely due to internal strife.

Some of the upper realm cultivators present, who had come with Rong Ying this time, were unfortunately trapped here, and couldn't help but feel a bit angry.

Then someone spoke up: "These cultivators from the lower realms are ridiculous. They're killing each other out of the ordinary."

Normally, Rong Ying would have agreed, finding the statement very reasonable, since cultivators in the lower realms were always shallow, vulgar, and laughable.

But Rong Ying was not feeling well.

The thoughts of the deceased Liu Rumei were exactly the same as hers.

Looking at the two corpses in front of her, Rong Ying felt as if a thorn was stuck in her heart, making her feel uneasy.

It was just a thought from a moment ago, and Rong Ying seemed not to recognize herself at that time.

She suppressed the heat on her face and continued to activate the array beads.

The disciples of Qing'ai Peak present looked ashamed.

One of the young female disciples whispered, "It's not like that among the disciples of Qing'ai Peak. It was Senior Sister Liu who deliberately started this. She used to have a relationship with Senior Brother Xue, but they had a falling out. Later, Senior Brother Xue got together with Senior Sister Su, so she held a grudge. This is an old grudge—"

As she said this, the female disciple glared at Senior Brother Xue, clearly resentful.

It turns out that although Senior Brother Xue has a handsome appearance, he is actually gentle and mild-mannered, leaving room for anyone to have a certain amount of hope. The two women usually fight fiercely.

Elder Chen, who was leading the team from Qing'ai Peak, did not stop them, allowing others to cast disapproving glances at Senior Brother Xue.

Shen Zhiwei sighed, "A man's lack of self-control is truly deadly. He should cultivate his character and maintain his integrity."

Ultimately, however, the reason why those present were discussing this was because of their inner fear.

Trapped in this place, surrounded by strange beasts, and with internal strife and infighting, everyone's mental state would be unbearable.

Then some people criticized them, saying that cultivators from the lower realms were incompetent. In this way, they claimed that only cultivators from the lower realms would do such a thing, and desperately tried to absolve themselves of responsibility.

The Qing'ai Peak disciples' desperate attempts to shift blame for the sex scandal stem from the same mentality.

Even without this sex scandal, it wouldn't be surprising if someone betrayed another under pressure.

Fortunately, Rong Ying came from a prestigious immortal family, and her defensive magic treasures were also very powerful. After withstanding the attack, the emotions of the cultivators present also calmed down, and order was initially restored, preventing indiscriminate killing among them.

Starting to shift blame is a sign of a resurgence of moral conscience, and Shen Zhiwei is happy to see it happen.

If Rong Ying hadn't held back and had also become emotional and started to take action, things would be very different now.

Although Shen Zhiwei used some tricks, she was very satisfied with the result of her control of the situation.

To outsiders, Shen Zhiwei seems to love showing off, but now she keeps her achievements and fame hidden.

Now it was Rong Ying who took center stage. Rong Ying said gently, "Alright, it's fate that we've all gone through this tribulation together. We should support each other, regardless of whether we're from the upper or lower realms. If we can escape smoothly, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Rong Ying would not normally have such a magnanimous heart, but just now she harbored despicable intentions and had a guilty conscience, so she actually said such a magnanimous thing.

These words had a pretty good effect.

The cultivators from the lower realms were undoubtedly flattered and deeply grateful, while the cultivators from the upper realms also felt that Rong Ying was very composed and dignified, unlike her usual petty nature. They thought that she was indeed a fairy raised by a noble immortal family, and that she could remain calm in critical moments.

People also developed a bit of a "family background filter" for Rong Ying.

Shen Zhiwei, who was seen as a show-off by others, did not try to show off or make her presence known at this moment.

She was thinking about her own plans, and had other schemes in mind.

She guessed that Jiang Bin must be thinking about what the consequences would be if they failed to break through for a long time.

Both the Rong and Xie families have a cultivator at the Immortal Realm. If they knew what was wrong with the people present, they would definitely come out together.

If it cannot be concealed, Jiang Bin will surely be crushed to pieces.

If Rong Ying and the others don't die, what's the use of Jiang Bin sacrificing some Liuli Pavilion disciples?

Jiang Bin would surely wonder if Rong Ying had some secret method to notify her sister. Furthermore, even if she couldn't be notified, if Rong Ying didn't return for a long time, everyone would know that something must have happened.

As Shen Zhiwei pondered this, her eyes couldn't help but shine brightly.

In this way, Jiang Bin had no choice but to use his trump card, which was how he killed the leader of Yaoguang Sect.

The Yao Guang Sect was able to be so brazenly annexed by Jiang Bin because it lost its sect leader who was at the half-immortal level.

Jiang Bin probably thought of this as well, and the playful and joyful expression on his face gradually faded, replaced by a serious look.

He coldly gazed at Sect Leader Shen, who remained quiet and unassuming amidst the crowd, his expression dark and inscrutable, as if deep in thought. Even someone like Jiang Bin appeared distracted, as if something was truly difficult to decide.

At this time, Shen Xiaochan and Jiang Yingxue sat back to back in meditation, peacefully and quietly.

Originally, Shen Xiaochun wanted to snuggle up to Lao Shen while talking, and of course she would have pulled Xiaoxue along with her.

However, seeing Rong Tang's resolute manner in killing the wolf herself, Shen Xiaochun suddenly felt a bit competitive.

If Rong Tang is so stubborn, she can't be a little baby nestled in her mother's arms.

While she was adjusting her breathing, someone approached her.

Shen Xiaochun looked up and saw that it was Rong Xiao.

Rong Xiao kept a cold face, still looking like a little ice block, seemingly without any emotional fluctuations despite his young age.

He glanced at Shen Xiaochun's arm.

Shen Xiaochun had also scraped her arm while saving people, and Shen Zhiwei had already applied medicine and carefully bandaged it for her.

Rong Xiao thought to himself that cultivators in the lower realms didn't have any good medicine either.

He handed over a small white jade box and said slowly, "Medicine!"

This is to deliver medicine to Shen Xiaochun.

Jiang Yingxue, standing to the side, was also a little flattered and conflicted.

Although Jiang Yingxue also found Rong Xiao very annoying, she still felt quite pressured to make an enemy of Rong Xiaoxiu.

Now that we're in danger, there's a chance for reconciliation. Even if we're not friends in the future, at least we won't be enemies.

It seems pretty good.

Shen Xiaochun refused, saying, "Didn't we say we were going to have a competition? Shouldn't the loser give a prize?"

Then Shen Xiaochun mouthed the words "shorty".

Rong Xiao's expression grew even colder, and he withdrew his hand.

He never imagined that Shen Xiaochun would actually reject him.

Shen Xiaochun thought for a moment and said, "You can give the medicine to Sisi."

Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity. Shen Xiaochan shouldn't expose Rong Xiao's disregard for the lives of other cultivators when he killed the wolf demon at this time.

If Rong Xiao realizes his mistake and expresses his remorse to Nan Sisi, she might be willing to ease the tension between them.

The next moment, the box of medicine in Rong Xiao's hand turned into dust.

Rong Xiao turned around and returned to his original position.

Shen Xiaochun rolled her eyes at him, thinking he was just being self-important.

The minor sulking among the cultivators didn't attract much attention; it was just them being petulant with each other, and besides, they hadn't actually fought. Compared to the two corpses lying on the ground, a fight between fellow disciples, it was nothing.

At this time, however, another unexpected change occurred.

A strange look appeared on Jiang Bin's face as the colorful umbrella swayed, its golden bells jingling softly.

He used to be that man's servant.

His master was very capricious and demanded many small tasks; if a bell was rung, he would inevitably have to go and serve him.

But times have changed.

People used to call him that, but now he calls people that.

Monsters gathered, and a fog had formed all around. As the fog thickened, a figure emerged from it.

Shen Zhiwei's expression also changed slightly; her eyes lit up.
