"What on earth is going on? Am I seeing things? She actually burned Bai Yanfeng's Dragon Roar Sword to ashes!" In the crowd, a young disciple stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief, his voice trembling slightly with shock.
"I...I can't believe my eyes. The Dragon Roar Sword really was burned away. But wasn't it made from the bones of a dragon? Such a powerful material couldn't possibly be burned, let alone disappear completely! What on earth happened?" Another disciple frowned, shaking his head repeatedly, his eyes full of doubt and amazement.
Those present had never witnessed such a shocking scene, and they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Their families, though numerous, were merely small compared to a behemoth like the Lingyin Sect. Now, everyone watched in disbelief as Bai Ying, with a single move, sent Bai Yanfeng flying and reduced his most powerful weapon to ashes. Deeply stunned, whispers and murmurs of discussion filled the air.
"Wow, she's amazing! What kind of supernatural power did Bai Ying learn at the Lingyin Sect?" A young man asked with envy and excitement in his eyes.
Bai Yanfeng lay sprawled on the ground, looking utterly miserable. Bai Ying hadn't used her full strength when dealing with him; she had only rendered him unable to get up, but this only made him feel more embarrassed.
He clenched his teeth so tightly that his lips bled, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger and resentment. He tried desperately to get up, attempting to salvage some dignity, but his body wouldn't obey him, and every struggle was in vain.
Bai Yanfeng stared intently at Bai Ying, his malice surging uncontrollably. He wanted nothing more than to rush forward and tear Bai Ying to pieces. However, that brief confrontation had made him acutely aware of the vast difference in their abilities; he was no match for Bai Ying at this moment.
"Is this the strength of a major sect?" Bai Yanfeng felt a mix of emotions.
When Bai Ying and Zhou Ying saw their son lying on the ground, beaten, their faces turned deathly pale. They rushed over, their hearts filled with heartache. Zhou Ying knelt down, her hands trembling as she helped Bai Yanfeng up, her voice choked with tears, and asked, "Xiaofeng, how are you? Are you badly hurt?"
Bai Di, who was still sitting on the ground, struggled to her feet and ran unsteadily to Bai Yanfeng's side. She looked at him with heartache and tears streamed down her face: "Brother, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you got hurt."
Looking at his son's miserable state, Bai Ying's anger burned fiercely. Bai Ying had only just returned, yet she had already hurt his own brother, not only injuring him but also burning his most beloved magical artifact.
Bai Ying still remembered Bai Yanfeng's excitement when he obtained the Dragon Roar Sword, but now he had ended up like this. How could he not feel heartache? How could he not be angry?
Bai Ying suddenly stood up, pointed at Bai Ying, and shouted, "Bai Ying, how could you hit him so hard? He's your own brother!"
Bai Ying found it utterly ridiculous to watch these people singing in unison.
When Bai Yanfeng attacked them with his flying sword, they didn't stop him at all; on the contrary, it seemed like they tacitly agreed to let him teach them a lesson.
The three people in front of her were her blood relatives.
But when she returned, she received no words of concern, no inquiries about how she had been all these years, not even a simple welcome; instead, she was met with blame.
What right do they have to blame her?
Bai Ying coldly looked at the people in front of her, her expression instantly becoming extremely indifferent, her eyes revealing a hint of disdain and mockery.
She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, her voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air: "My brother? Does he even deserve that title?"
White Eagle roared in fury: "What did you say?"
Bai Ying let out a cold laugh:
"If he truly considered himself my brother, he wouldn't have used that kind of flying sword against me. If I weren't at my current strength, how much damage would that sword have inflicted? Don't you know?"
As she spoke, she slowly raised her hand, casually stroking her nails. The movement seemed relaxed, yet it carried an invisible sense of oppression. "Did you stop it? You didn't even try to stop it, and now you're criticizing me? What gives you the right?"
Bai Ying clearly hadn't expected Bai Ying to be so sharp-tongued; he'd never been contradicted like that by his children before.
"Why? Why do you say why?" Bai Ying roared, his face flushed red. "Isn't it because you hurt Xiao Di! You were jealous of her, so you pushed her into the river, trying to kill her and take her place. And now you've hurt your brother!" His voice was hoarse with anger.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying hurriedly stepped forward, her face full of anxiety, and said to Bai Ying, "Bai Ying, quickly apologize to your father! And apologize to your brother and sister too! You should admit your mistakes. Your brother treated you like that just now because he wanted you to realize your mistakes. Hurry up, don't make your father angry." As she spoke, she also winked at Bai Ying, trying to get her to back down.
Bai Ying looked at the two people before her, a wave of sorrow washing over her. She simply couldn't believe that after all the excitement and nervousness she had felt just to see them, she was now met with such baseless accusations. It was utterly ridiculous!
She glanced disdainfully at her agitated parents, then slowly surveyed the Bai family members standing around her, raising her voice to say, "Do you all think that I would push Bai Di into the water out of jealousy, only to leave her with minor injuries?"
The Bai couple looked at Bai Ying with anger. In their hearts, of course, they thought that Xiao Di could not possibly lie.
However, the Bai family members present did not express their opinions. Apart from a few people who were particularly close to Bai Di and came out to agree, the others remained silent.
The Bai couple looked at everyone in disbelief. Just then, Bai Ying's finger twitched slightly.
Bai Di, who had been standing still just moments before, suddenly rose into the air without warning, his body struggling uncontrollably, his face filled with terror.
The dangerous blue flame reappeared in Bai Ying's hand. She slightly raised her hand, pointing the flame towards Bai Di's direction. Her gaze swept over everyone's faces, and she sneered at the people present, "Do you think if I were to flick this flame at her, she would turn to ash like that sword made from dragon bones?"
