After giving Bai Ying her orders, Yan Chiling immediately used his illusion magic to transform Bai Ying into Ruan Xinrou.
"You bastard, don't you love showing off? Now you can show off to your heart's content. Because every time you show off from now on, it will be for my junior sister."
However, turning someone as disgusting as you into the appearance of Junior Sister is truly an insult to Junior Sister.
After this matter is finished, I'll dig out your spiritual root for my junior sister's sake. After all, it seems your spiritual root is easier to cultivate. Giving it to my junior sister will surely make her very happy.
As for you, you'd better just stay a useless nobody. Don't get in your junior sister's way!
As Yan Chiling spoke, he pointed a dagger at Bai Ying's neck and shook his head with regret. "If it weren't for my junior sister's kindness in not letting me kill you, I would have killed you long ago, given what you've done."
After saying this, he turned and left.
But he had no idea that after he left, Bai Ying's cloudy eyes had already become clear.
Bai Ying was not bewitched by his illusion at all. She heard every word he said clearly.
They pinched it tightly with their fingers.
Even though she had cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness and her emotions had long since become indifferent, Bai Ying could still feel hatred.
Because Yan Chiling was the most terrifying nightmare of her past life.
She knew that Yan Chiling was the one most severely influenced by Ruan Xinrou, and she also knew that everything he did might not have come from his true heart.
But he was terrifying.
In her previous life, Bai Ying didn't have the memories of the Nascent Soul stage, nor was she as strong. Yan Chiling had her transform into Ruan Xinrou and travel to various dangerous places.
What made her risk her life to save her sect disciples, what made her fight against demonic beasts alone for her fellow disciples... basically, she did whatever was most dangerous.
She had done countless such things. Every time she returned, she was covered in wounds and had narrowly escaped death.
She suffered so many injuries, once even having a whole piece of skin bitten off her back by a wild beast, yet it was Ruan Xinrou who received everyone's gratitude in front of others.
They all say she is the kindest and most beautiful being.
Even if she told others about this, no one would believe her. They would say she was delirious because she was jealous of Ruan Xinrou and fantasized that everything Ruan Xinrou did was her doing.
Yan Chiling was the best dog that Ruan Xinrou raised.
Bai Ying was afraid of being controlled again, so she stayed far away and worked hard to cultivate.
But she never expected that when she cultivated to the point of obtaining the Golden Core, Yan Chiling would find her again.
He and his fellow disciples surrounded him, then he personally used a knife to cut open his dantian and take out the golden core.
Bai Ying still remembers how her blood splattered all over Yan Chiling. He said, "It's disgusting to be splattered with your filthy blood."
Bai Ying clenched her fists tightly. Fortunately, she wouldn't let this bastard control her this time!
Previously, Bai Ying and the Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sect requested access to their sect's library in order to find a way to counter illusion magic.
In her past life, she had been searching for a way to break this illusion. Finally, she learned in a secret realm that the method to break the illusion lay within the Lingxiao Sect's library. Unfortunately, she learned this too late in her past life, and had been avoiding them all along. In the end, she died without ever being able to visit the Lingxiao Pavilion.
Now, she's no longer afraid of that bastard.
Yan Chiling wanted her to work for Ruan Xinrou, so she would.
She just wanted to see if Ruan Xinrou could handle it!

Three days later, the sect will hold a challenge for the Demon Suppression Tower.
Because this is a competition within the sect open to all disciples, there will be no deaths. Even if someone is killed inside the tower, they will immediately reappear outside.
The Demon-Suppressing Tower has seven levels, each sealing away various powerful demons or evil spirits. The tower also contains terrifying traps and mechanisms. Contestants must overcome each obstacle and finally climb to the top. Only then can they succeed.
Because it's a challenge open to everyone, it's extremely popular, offering not only very generous rewards but also attracting widespread attention.
Anyone who makes it to the final stage will receive a wealth of resources from the sect. It's a win-win situation, bringing both fame and fortune.
When Bai Ying reached the entrance to the competition, Yan Chiling also walked to Bai Ying's side.
He wasn't there to fight alongside Bai Ying; he was there to monitor her. For such an important match, he was worried something might go wrong with the illusions, so he wanted to be there personally.
Ruan Xinrou was also watching Bai Ying's every move through the Qiankun Mirror in her room.
She found it funny whenever she thought about how all of Bai Ying's efforts were for her own benefit.
"Hurry up and show off, all of this is for me."
This was the first time Ruan Xinrou had ever so hoped that Bai Ying could perform well.
As soon as Bai Ying stepped into the Demon-Sealing Tower, she was teleported to another area. Yan Chiling, who had his hand on Bai Ying's shoulder, was also teleported to the same area.
Bai Ying looked around and saw that more than a hundred people had been teleported to her area.
This area was a wide, flat area, and at a glance, one could see the staircase leading to the second floor. There were also many spiritual herbs and crystals placed at the top of the staircase.
Upon seeing the reward, the cultivators immediately rushed forward, fearing they would be too slow. But little did they know that the moment they took their first step forward, they were instantly reduced to ashes.
Screams echoed incessantly as the cultivators vanished one by one.
The space, which was originally somewhat crowded, suddenly became rather empty.
The area where Bai Ying was located had half the population gone from the very beginning.
The other half of the person clearly became more cautious.
Someone took out a small substitute talisman and wanted to use it to test the substitution, but after the substitute took only two steps forward, he and the substitute turned to ashes and disappeared.
Some people felt that they couldn't walk, so they lifted their feet off the ground and tried to fly over.
But he didn't fly for long before he too turned to ashes.
"how so?"
The faces of everyone present had turned grim.
They had originally thought that even if they couldn't reach the last floor, they could at least climb a few floors and get some rewards. They never expected to fail on the very first challenge.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Bai Ying suddenly picked up her feet and started walking forward. Many people thought she had given up on herself.
Since no way to get past the first level could be found, in the end, I could only end up like her.
But to everyone's surprise, her first step was without any problems, the second step was the same, and the third step was also safe.
She walked forward step by step, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Ruan Xinrou's face immediately lit up with an extremely excited smile.
Bai Ying is indeed very capable. If she had walked alone, she would have died long ago. But Bai Ying knows how to take each step!
Excellent! She'll soon be famous throughout the entire sect. Their decision was definitely the right one.
But Ruan Xinrou didn't know that soon, both she and Yan Chiling would deeply regret this decision.
