"Miss, should we rob it?" Qingling asked, glancing at Binglian.

At this moment, more and more people were drawn to the Ice Lotus, and Zhou Xixi grew increasingly anxious! She had to get that Ice Lotus!

Ji Jiuying narrowed her phoenix eyes, staring at the ice lotus. The ice lotus didn't feel real to her; it was more like an illusion. A voice appeared in her mind, and she was immediately terrified. She quickly pulled Wen Longting and Qingling away from the pool, "Get out of here!"

Zhao Liu and He Xuan exchanged glances and then took a few steps away. Some people, however, did not take it seriously. Zhou Xixi was even more convinced that Ji Jiuying wanted them to stay away before she could steal the Ice Lotus, and she would not let her succeed.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around her, Zhou Xixi wanted to rush forward but didn't have the courage. Although she wasn't an alchemist, she knew that some rare spiritual herbs were protected by spirit beasts. She quietly walked into the crowd and gently pushed the person from behind, causing him to fall into the pool.

However, the moment the person's body touched the pool, a gaping maw appeared from the bottom and swallowed him whole. At the same time, the ice lotus disappeared! The gaping maw gradually revealed its true form!

"It's a level seven Iceblood Python!"

Everyone's faces turned deathly pale, filled with terror! This was the central area of ​​the Boundless Mountains; how could there be a high-level spirit beast here? Without a second thought, they fled the pool's edge as quickly as possible! Zhao Liu and the others looked at Ji Jiuying with deep gratitude!

Zhou Xixi felt no remorse at all; on the contrary, she was somewhat smug. Luckily, she had been quick-witted just now, otherwise she would be the one dead now.

Unbeknownst to her, Ji Jiuying had witnessed her actions. Her brow furrowed slightly; this person repeatedly treated others' lives like dirt, her very existence was unacceptable…

A giant python covered in scales stood above the pool, its ferocious head raised, its two copper bell-like eyes flashing with bloodlust as it stared intently at the people before it, flicking its bright red tongue at them.

"Get out of here immediately!"

A level seven spirit beast—that's deadly! Although she and the little boy could definitely kill it together, for the safety of Qingling and Xiaoting, and because there were too many people around, she didn't want to expose too much. Ji Jiuying shouted and grabbed Qingling and Wen Longting as they ran. Seeing this, everyone else also ran desperately after them.

How could the Iceblood Python let its prey escape right under its nose? It chased after it, spewing out dark green venom as it went!

The venom sprayed onto the ground made a hissing sound and produced thick smoke, which made everyone run even faster.

"Miss, what do we do now?" Qingling turned around and glanced at the enormous creature that was closely following them, and asked.

Ji Jiuying turned around and looked behind her. "Everyone, follow behind me!"

The crowd didn't understand what this senior sister was going to do, but they still subconsciously moved closer to her. Even though Zhou Xixi was unwilling, she didn't dare to joke with her own life.

Ji Jiuying took out a bag of realgar powder and used her spiritual power to sprinkle it on both sides of the ground. Sure enough, the Ice Blood Python behind her slowed down considerably in order to avoid the realgar powder.

They could only be saved if they ran to the outer perimeter, but the realgar powder was limited and not enough to cover the outer perimeter. Ji Jiuying dared not waste a drop, so she could only sprinkle a little bit every now and then to slow down the speed of the Ice Blood Python!

Just as everyone saw the outer edge of the Boundless Mountains, Zhou Xixi tripped and fell due to exhaustion, pulling the person in front of her down with her as she fell!

Seeing the blood python open its gaping maw and lunge at her, Zhou Xixi's heart tightened. She quickly grabbed the person in front of her and threw them toward the python, while she took the opportunity to run back.

The man let out a scream, staring at Zhou Xixi in disbelief, his eyes filled with a hatred that seemed to want to tear her to pieces!

"No, He Xuan!"

"Big brother!"

Just when He Xuan thought he was going to die, a vine as fast as lightning wrapped around his waist and pulled him away from the gaping maw.

Zhao Liu and He Jin breathed a sigh of relief!

He Xuan recognized the vines; they were the same ones his senior sister had used on them before! He didn't have time to express his gratitude; he could only run for his life with lingering fear.

The Iceblood Python was furious when it saw the meat in its mouth fly away.

Because of Zhou Xixi's recent actions, everyone subconsciously kept their distance from her. This selfish, ruthless woman might turn on them at any time!

Zhou Xixi was at the very back and desperately couldn't catch up with the people in front of her. In her panic, she tripped and fell again, her eyes wide with fear.

She looked at Ji Jiuying, and just when she thought Ji Jiuying would save her in the same way, she saw Ji Jiuying turn around and give her a mocking smile.

As the Ice Blood Python drew ever closer, and as they broke through the outer perimeter, she was just a hair's breadth away from safety! Zhou Xixi watched with resentment!

But soon, a scream was extinguished from the mouth of the Iceblood Python.

"No······"

After swallowing Zhou Xixi, the Ice Blood Python dared not pursue Ji Jiuying and the others any further. It knew that there were countless powerful figures on the outskirts of the Boundless Mountains, and it would surely die if it chased after them.

With a bloody tongue dripping from its mouth, it reluctantly headed deeper into the Boundless Mountains.

Everyone glanced at the departing Ice Blood Python, sighed softly, and felt that Zhou Xixi had brought this upon herself, so they were not sad at all!

"Thank you so much for saving my life, Senior Sister!" Zhou Xuan knelt in front of Ji Jiuying. He had been tricked by Zhou Xixi, and if it weren't for Senior Sister, he would not be standing here alive!

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister, for saving my life!"

The group of people also expressed their gratitude. After all, if it weren't for the senior sister's realgar powder delaying the Ice Blood Python, they wouldn't have been so lucky to escape alive!

"Senior Sister, why were you able to save He Xuan from the Ice Blood Python's mouth, and why didn't you save Zhou Xixi when you could have done the same?" a man questioned.

Ji Jiuying glanced at him indifferently. People from Cangming Continent are really interesting. They're already resorting to moral blackmail.

Judging from Zhou Xixi's appearance, it was as if she had a deep-seated hatred for her. Whether in the academy or in the Wuyai Mountains, Ji Jiuying had noticed Zhou Xixi's hostility towards her all the way. She was not a saint. She had saved her today, but who knows when Zhou Xixi would stab her in the back!

"As expected of Zhou Xixi's lackey, you're a master of moral blackmail. If I told you that Zhou Xixi was the one who pushed that man into the pool, would you still be able to say that?"

Ji Jiuying looked at the man with a half-smile and said calmly.

The man stared wide-eyed in disbelief, unable to believe that his former friend had been pushed by Zhou Xixi! After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Zhou Xixi was indeed behind Xiao Tiancheng at the time!

Ji Jiuying glanced at him coldly, then turned and left.
