Bai Ying wasn't too flustered.
Although she had not yet successfully refined the elixir she needed, she had a way to save her life.
However, before Bai Ying could use any of her abilities, she suddenly felt a warm sensation enveloping her. Clearly, a Nascent Soul stage expert had intervened.
Bai Ying did not resist, letting the warmth envelop her.
The horrifying images that had filled her mind vanished in an instant, and she opened her eyes, returning to reality.
"Bai Ying, how are you?"
It was Bai Ying's master, Xuan Yuan Chen, who was looking at her with concern.
Bai Ying's eyes instantly cleared, and she smiled as she said, "I'm alright now."
However, everyone present had a solemn expression.
Xuan Yuan Chen addressed the guests present, saying, "Our Lingxiao Sect has important matters to attend to. We cannot keep you here as guests for the time being."
The guests instantly understood Xuan Yuanchen's intentions and all took their leave.
At this moment, only Wu Hansong and Fang Jingyu remained; all the other guests had left.
Bai Ying looked at Xuan Yuan Chen with some confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"
Xuan Yuan Chen's brows furrowed tightly, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.
"Bai Ying, are you aware that a seed of inner demon has been planted in you, which has triggered a curse on your heart?"
Bai Ying nodded.
His master just helped him, so he will know about this matter.
"The seed of my inner demons was planted the moment I entered the Huayang Sect as a child."
Xuanyuan Chen was furious.
Many sects also use methods to prevent disciples from betraying them, which is a common practice in the cultivation world.
However, none of them planted such a vicious seed of inner demons as Huayang Sect, and they even triggered a curse of inner demons!
Once the inner demon curse is cast, the person who cast it will also suffer the backlash.
Xuan Yuan Chen thought that Hua Yang Sect would at most use some minor tricks on Bai Ying, and he could help Bai Ying resolve them.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be the most vicious inner demon curse.
This kind of curse can be activated anytime, anywhere, and can directly kill the person affected.
Although he had just used his cultivation technique to temporarily neutralize the curse on Bai Ying, it didn't work! He couldn't completely remove the curse.
Xuan Yuan Chen gritted his teeth and said to Bai Ying, "This curse is too vicious; there's absolutely no way to break it. Once it takes effect, even if the person doesn't die, it will flare up anytime, anywhere within three months, and each time it will be more dangerous than the last! After three months..."
Xuan Yuan Chen didn't continue speaking, but everyone present knew what he was going to say.
Three months later, he will surely die!
Wu Hansong was absolutely furious, and he shouted:
"I'm going to Huayang Sect and killing those bastards!"
Fang Jingyu and Xuan Yuanchen followed closely behind, saying, "Let's go and destroy the Huayang Sect together!"
But before they had even left the Lingxiao Sect, Bai Ying called out to them.
"You can't go!"
"Bai Ying! Do you still care about those people from the Huayang Sect? They even cast a Heart Demon Curse on you, why are you still worried about them?"
Wu Hansong shouted angrily at Bai Ying.
Fang Jingyu also disapproved of Bai Ying's protection of them.
"They deserve to die for treating you like this! Don't protect them anymore!"
Bai Ying shook her head. "I'm not protecting them, but I know that Huayang Sect has a powerful expert in the Void Refinement stage behind them. And it's in the late Void Refinement stage."
The people at the scene were immediately startled.
He had no idea that there was such a terrifying figure behind the Huayang Sect.
Not to mention Huayang Sect, they have never seen a Void Refinement stage cultivator in the entire Central Continent!
"How come I've never heard of this before?"
Wu Hansong's voice trembled slightly when he said this.
He once had the good fortune to witness a mere wisp of divine consciousness from a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage; that single wisp of divine consciousness was enough to easily kill him.
But unexpectedly, Huayang Sect actually had a real Void Refinement stage expert hidden inside!
Bai Ying had never heard of this before. She only learned that Huayang Sect had such a powerful figure hidden in the world after she died in her previous life and became a wandering ghost.
That powerful figure was still recovering from serious injuries and had been in seclusion. Even the sect leader of the Huayang Sect was unaware of his existence, believing him to be long dead. It was only when he emerged from seclusion that the entire cultivation world was shocked.
This person also has some connection with Xiao Yu, which is why Bai Ying hadn't dared to touch Xiao Yu before.
"However, you don't need to worry for now. He should be out of seclusion for a very long time. He won't appear unless there is a life-or-death crisis for Huayang Sect."
Xuan Yuan Chen sighed heavily, his heart filled with resentment.
Bai Ying originally had the brightest future; she was a genius that only appeared once in a thousand years.
But she was so easily destroyed by the Huayang Sect!
They only have three months to live, and they can't even break through to a higher level. If they do, it will definitely trigger a mental curse.
The Huayang Sect is truly vicious!
If he can't have it, he'll destroy it. He really wanted to kill them all!
Bai Ying comforted him, saying, "Master, I have a way to defeat that inner demon curse, so don't worry."
However, Xuan Yuan Chen took Bai Ying's words as a way of comforting him and continued to sigh.
Bai Ying didn't explain further. She wasn't 100% sure she could overcome the inner demon curse, but this time she was determined to do it no matter what. She had been preparing for this since her rebirth, and after so long, she would never die by the same means again!
—
News of Bai Ying's mental curse spread quickly.
There were so many people who witnessed Bai Ying's attack that many cultivators with higher cultivation levels could tell at a glance that Bai Ying was suffering from the Heart Demon Curse.
"Alas, what a pity. I was hoping she could heal cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, but I never expected her to be afflicted with such a curse. Moreover, I asked her beforehand, and she said her healing method is a technique that cannot be passed on to outsiders. She can't even share it if she wants to. It's such a shame."
"Who would have thought that such a genius, a prodigy with top-notch talent in both cultivation and weapon crafting, who even regarded the Brahma Immortal Venerable as his successor, would die under that inner demon curse."
Everyone sighed repeatedly, but no one went to the Lingxiao Sect to curry favor with Bai Ying anymore.
After all, what need is there to win over a dying person?
At this moment, within the Huayang Sect, the sect leader was overjoyed.
His original plan was to have Qin Hua kill Bai Ying directly, but he did not expect that Bai Ying would not die immediately.
But it doesn't matter, at most it will just give her three more months to live.
Once the inner demon curse takes effect, death is certain within three months. It will recur frequently during this period, and one of those episodes might even cause her to die prematurely.
Such a genius who betrayed his sect has no reason to live; it's better for him to die sooner rather than later!
