In contrast to the varied expressions on the faces of the Bai family members, the organizers of the arena tournament were beaming with extreme enthusiasm.
He jogged to Bai Ying's side, his face plastered with a fawning smile. He bowed slightly, respectfully holding the prizes in his hands, his eyes filled with obsequiousness: "Young friend, these are the rewards for first place in this arena competition—rare treasures. Now, I officially announce that the first place winner of this arena competition is Bai Ying!"
His voice instantly resounded throughout the arena, and a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd. Cheers and applause mingled together, like surging waves, one after another. Excitement and elation were written on everyone's faces, not only because of Bai Ying's extraordinary strength displayed on the stage, but more importantly, because her victory over Guo Lintian had given them a huge sense of satisfaction.
Bai Ying remained calm as she accepted the prizes one by one. Her face was undisturbed; she merely glanced at the precious pills and magical treasures, as if these priceless items to others were nothing more than commonplace objects to her. However, when her gaze fell upon the warm, smooth jade pendant, a barely perceptible glint flashed in her usually aloof eyes, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved into a fleeting, faint smile.
She finally got it.
Bai Ying put all the rewards into her storage bag, and then carefully put the jade pendant into her divine sense.
Just when everyone thought this exciting match was about to end and there was no more good show to watch today...
Suddenly, they saw Bai Ying raise her hand and stretch it out in the direction of Bai Di.
In an instant, an invisible yet powerful force, like a strong rope, tightly bound Bai Di. Bai Di had no time to react; he was involuntarily thrown towards Bai Ying, his feet leaving the ground as he struggled and thrashed in the air, but to no avail.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Di was brought before Bai Ying, whose hands, like iron clamps, tightly gripped her neck. Bai Di's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with terror and pain. She opened her mouth, wanting to cry for help, but her throat was tightly choked, and she couldn't utter a sound. Her hands instinctively tried to squeeze Bai Ying's hands, attempting to break free from this deadly restraint; however, Bai Ying's strength was beyond imagination, and she couldn't exert any force, only struggling in vain.
Bai Ying's sudden action was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar among the Bai family.
Bai Yanfeng jumped to his feet and roared at Bai Ying, "Bai Ying, what are you trying to do? Are you crazy?"
Bai Ying was furious. "Bai Ying, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have some skills! Bai Di is your sister! How could you be so cruel to your own sister! Let her go right now!" He shouted as he made a move to rush onto the stage.
Bai Ying looked at them with amusement, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"younger sister?"
She turned to look at Bai Di and said coldly, "Have you ever seen a younger sister who desperately wants her older sister to die?"
Bai Ying paused for a moment, then quickly shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Di is so well-behaved, when did she ever tell you to die?"
Bai Yanfeng roared, "Bai Ying, don't you dare make false accusations! You're the one who wanted to hurt Xiao Di because you were jealous of how good we were to her. I'm telling you, put her down right now!"
Zhou Ying looked helplessly at Bai Ying: "Bai Ying, let go of Xiao Di. You must have made a mistake. Xiao Di is a very good girl. She wouldn't do that. She only wants what's best for you and wouldn't hurt you."
"Yeah?"
Bai Ying gently waved her right hand in the air, and a Qiankun Mirror emitting a soft light slowly appeared.
Recalling everything that had happened, a cold glint flashed in Bai Ying's eyes. She had warned Bai Di long ago not to provoke her, or she would not let her off easily.
But Bai Di kept pushing her limits. Back in the Huayang Sect, Bai Ying had been repeatedly schemed against and suffered greatly; the feeling of being framed and utterly helpless was still etched in her memory. Now, Bai Di was using the same methods on her again. How could she swallow this insult so easily? Today, she would make Bai Di pay the price!
Within the Qiankun Mirror, the scene gradually became clear. Bai Di, beaming, affectionately held Bai Ying's hand, repeatedly saying, "Sister, you absolutely must participate in this arena competition. It's so easy! Those opponents are all utterly no match for you. And the reward for first place is incredibly generous; if you participate, you're guaranteed to win!"
Her voice was soft and pleasant, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Upon hearing this description, not only Bai Ying, but many cultivators present couldn't help but be tempted. After all, such generous rewards and a simple competition would make anyone yearn for it.
However, everyone knew in their hearts that this arena competition was extremely dangerous. Every participant was powerful, and there were even some exceptionally formidable figures. A slight mistake could cost them their lives. Bai Di's exaggeration was clearly malicious; he was obviously trying to push Bai Ying to her death.
The scene shifts, and after Bai Ying registered, Bai Di began running around. Carrying Bai Ying on her back, she embellished the story for every cultivator she encountered, saying, "My sister said she can defeat everyone here. She's sure to win first place. She even said that you will all be her defeated opponents, and even the famous cultivator Bai is no match for her."
As she spoke, she gestured exaggeratedly, her facial expressions vivid, as if it were a real event.
As everyone looked at the scene in the Qiankun Mirror, their expressions gradually shifted from initial surprise to anger and disdain.
Bai Di's actions were clearly intended to provoke hatred towards Bai Ying, making everyone dislike her.
They never imagined that this seemingly petite, cute, and pretty girl could be so vicious.
Their gazes toward Bai Di were filled with disgust and contempt.
Everyone then recalled that after Guo Lintian had defeated many cultivators and everyone else had given up, Bai Di was the first to stand up and say that Bai Ying had made a bold statement that she was determined to win first place.
Everything she did was absolutely not something that family members would do!
Bai Ying looked coldly at the group of people in front of her and said sarcastically:
"You keep saying she's my sister, but have you ever thought about what would happen to me if I weren't as strong as I am now?"
