It's her!
Wang Qiuchi couldn't help but murmur.
"But even if she appeared now and stood in front of everyone, what good would it do? Wouldn't she still die?"
A bitter smile appeared on Wang Qiuchi's face. He had thought Bai Ying would run away, but he hadn't expected her to actually try to fight against those dragons.
Bai Di's group had obviously also noticed the figure's presence.
Several cultivators, their faces filled with doubt and disdain, their gazes scrutinizing and contemptuous, looked in Bai Ying's direction. One of them curled his lip and sneered, "Who is this? Completely overestimating himself! Seeing that dragon, he doesn't even flee, but instead tries to confront it head-on. He's practically courting death!"
Another person crossed their arms, shook their head, and sighed, their face full of mockery: "She's probably just a greenhorn who's only just begun cultivating and has no idea how powerful the Chi Dragon is. This Chi Dragon is no ordinary dragon; there's more than a dozen in front of her. With her meager abilities, she'll probably be torn to shreds in no time, leaving no trace of her remains."
"Alas, how pitiful. She is surely going to die here. We just managed to shake off one dragon, but she has to face so many alone. The outcome is predictable."
While everyone was talking amongst themselves, they were completely unaware that Bai Di's expression changed drastically the moment he saw that figure.
Her eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief and shock, and she couldn't help but cry out, "How is this possible?"
"What's wrong?"
Bai Di's companions noticed her unusual behavior and cast concerned glances at her.
However, at this moment, Bai Di couldn't care less about anyone else.
Her eyes were fixed on Bai Ying, her emotions churning within them.
The Grand Elder said that Bai Ying had been harmed by the backlash during the inheritance process and had died inside the inheritance stele. But now, Bai Ying was standing there alive and well. How could this not shock her?
A surge of resentment instantly welled up in Bai Di's heart. She practically wanted to tear Bai Ying to pieces right then and there.
The thought of how Bai Ying had destroyed her spiritual root made her grit her teeth in hatred.
"That bastard. She deserves to die!"
However, when her gaze swept over the menacing dragons surrounding Bai Ying, the corners of her mouth, which had been tense with anger, involuntarily turned up slightly, revealing a cold and mocking smile.
This idiot is still the same as before, completely oblivious to her own limitations. What does she think she's dealing with?
Those were several terrifying monsters, each with strength comparable to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
Does she think she can stop a chariot with her bare hands?
Thinking of this, Bai Di slowly raised his hand and gently touched his dantian.
There, Bai Ying's former spiritual roots have now taken root and become the source of her power.
Her fingertips gently caressed her abdomen, as if sensing the powerful energy brought by this spiritual root. The smile on her lips deepened, and her eyes were full of smugness and disdain.
She knew that as long as she obtained Bai Ying's spiritual root, she could defeat Bai Ying, and reality proved her right; she had indeed grown rapidly over the past year. She should be stronger than Bai Ying was back then!
Without her spiritual root, Bai Ying is now nothing more than a useless piece of trash, at the mercy of others. It's unbelievable that even in this state, she still wants to stand up for herself at this time.
It's such a pity that I couldn't let her witness firsthand how I successfully ascended with the help of her spiritual root, and how so many sects fought over me.
However, seeing so many dragons gathered together, about to send her on her way, Bai Di felt that this could be considered a "perfect" ending.
After all, nothing could bring her more pleasure than watching Bai Ying die in despair.
Bai Di's eyes were fixed on Bai Ying, anticipating her death.
At this moment, the group of cultivators behind Bai Ying also turned pale.
As Wang Qiushi fled frantically, Bai Ying immediately took out a set of array flags and created a light barrier. This blocked the dragons, allowing the cultivators to leave quickly.
However, there were simply too many Chi Dragons. Even though Bai Ying managed to block one side, she couldn't stop them all. The Chi Dragons went on a rampage, slaughtering the cultivators present. They even caught up with the Lingyin Sect cultivators who had initially left.
At that moment, the shadow of death loomed over everyone like a dark cloud, and everyone thought they were doomed.
But at this critical moment, Bai Ying quickly scanned her surroundings. Using her keen sense of the terrain, she swiftly deployed a large array using the scattered boulders and dead trees, enveloping the remaining cultivators and providing them with temporary protection.
She herself was all alone, facing the several ferocious and malevolent dragons.
Those present had already witnessed the terrifying power of the Chilong. Its mountain-like pressure made the air thick and difficult to breathe, as if their hearts would be crushed by this invisible pressure at any moment.
Everyone knew that these dragons were far beyond their ability to contend with. Even if Bai Ying fought with all her might, she could not possibly kill so many dragons on her own. Even if they could survive for a while in the great formation, they would ultimately be doomed.
Within the formation, despair spread like wildfire, and everyone's psychological defenses completely collapsed. Some couldn't help but sob softly, while others cried out loud, tears streaming down their dusty and terrified faces. Their eyes were fixed on Bai Ying, who was confronting the Chilong outside the formation, their gazes filled with helplessness and despair.
The leading dragon, however, had clearly lost its patience. Enraged that Bai Ying dared to obstruct it, it roared deafeningly. Its body moved like lightning, lunging straight at Bai Ying. Its gaping maw opened, its fangs gleaming coldly.
Those present, witnessing this bloody and horrifying scene, could no longer suppress their fear. They screamed in terror, and some even covered their eyes tightly, unable to bear watching any longer.
