Bai Ying maintained her composed demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant. She calmly cupped her hands and spoke clearly and logically: “With your extraordinary strength, Senior, taking my life would be as easy as turning your hand over your hand, as simple as taking candy from a baby. If you dislike me, you could have simply killed me upon revealing yourself. Yet you have deliberately kept me here and allowed us to converse like this. In my humble opinion, you must have something to instruct me to do.”
Upon hearing this, the dragon was slightly taken aback, then suddenly threw its head back and burst into laughter.
Just as everyone was puzzled, its body began to shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the once enormous dragon transformed into an elderly human man dressed in a simple, ancient robe. He looked at Bai Ying with deep eyes, but did not immediately explain his purpose. Instead, he said meaningfully, "This Chaos Spirit Fruit is a treasure I have cherished for many years. And you took it so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying quickly took out the Chaos Spirit Fruit and presented it to the old man with both hands. However, the old man, who was actually a dragon, did not reach out to take it. Instead, he shook his head slightly, staring intently at Bai Ying, and slowly said, "I can give you this. But I need you to accompany me to a place."
Bai Ying knew that this was the reason he had come to find her.
Bai Ying didn't know what this powerful dragon wanted her to do with him. But faced with such a terrifying being, she knew she had no choice but to agree.
"Very well. I will go with you now."
Seeing that Bai Ying agreed so readily, the old man who had transformed from a dragon was clearly in a very good mood, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
He turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the group of trembling cultivators behind Bai Ying. His tone was filled with pity and tolerance as he kindly said, "You juniors, go back to where you came from. The place we're going to next is definitely not a place you can set foot in."
Lingyu and her group stood in the crowd, looking at Bai Ying with worried expressions, secretly trying to convey to her whether they wanted to go with her. Bai Ying gently shook her head at them, indicating that they should leave first.
Along the way, Bai Ying did not carefully conceal her aura as before, but instead released it openly.
She knew that Bai Di would definitely spread the word that she had obtained the Chaos Spirit Fruit everywhere, and at that time, countless people would come to seize the treasure.
She wasn't afraid of those people to begin with. To prevent any exceptionally powerful figures from coming, she had even prepared to set up formations, both for attack and escape.
Throughout her cultivation journey, she had no intention of harming anyone, but that did not mean she was a pushover that anyone could bully. Anyone who dared to harm her would surely die!
Now, looking at the old man beside her, she felt no worry whatsoever. It seemed she didn't even need to prepare any formations this time.
Meanwhile, as Bai Ying had predicted, Bai Di had already spread the news of Bai Ying obtaining the Chaos Spirit Fruit far and wide.
However, to everyone's surprise, Bai Di not only spread the news of the Chaos Spirit Fruit within the secret repository, but she also left the repository and spread the news outside of it as well.
The Chaos Spirit Fruit is so precious that it is considered an extremely rare and coveted item by all cultivators.
Whether they are at the Nascent Soul stage, the Divine Transformation stage, or the Void Refining stage, all cultivators who are close to breaking through are drooling over the Chaos Spirit Fruit and would risk their lives to get their hands on it.
The saying "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime" is vividly demonstrated in this cruel world of cultivation. Even though Bai Ying did nothing wrong, simply possessing the Chaos Spirit Fruit was enough to bring about her death.
Bai Di was filled with malicious schemes. She was convinced that if she couldn't get the treasure in the secret vault, then Bai Ying couldn't be left unscathed either.
This time, she will stop at nothing to kill Bai Ying!
Just as Bai Di had hoped, the news, once it was released, instantly stirred up huge waves, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
The secret realm originally had a rule prohibiting cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage from entering. However, now, faced with the temptation of such a rare treasure as the Chaos Spirit Fruit, many cultivators stuck in the breakthrough stage instantly lost their rationality and could not suppress their inner desires, so they began to stir.
At this moment, they no longer cared about any rules or constraints. They were all anxious and rushed towards the secret treasure like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
The situation spiraled out of control, with some old monsters at the Void Refinement stage even joining forces to destroy the hidden rules to pieces in order to obtain the Chaos Spirit Fruit.
After this astonishing event was announced, countless cultivators sprang into action in an instant, surging towards the secret realm like a tidal wave.
Bai Di was overjoyed when he heard this news.
Bai Ying is too powerful, which is why she resorted to such a desperate measure.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't get the hidden treasure, but Bai Ying must die.
It seems that I am about to achieve my goal.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. Bai Ying was really doomed this time.
