At this moment, a suffocating silence filled the scene. Everyone, whether they were there or watching from afar, was stunned by what they saw.
This simple killing of four cultivators at the Void Refinement stage meant that neither their souls nor their bodies remained, as if they had never existed in this world.
The ease and decisiveness of the killings left everyone speechless.
What kind of power does such a being possess? Is it at the Fusion Stage, or even higher...?
This question, like a dark cloud, weighed heavily on everyone's mind.
The scene was deathly silent; even the faintest breath seemed to be frozen in place. Everyone was so frightened that they trembled violently, their legs went weak, and they could barely stand.
Those cultivators who had just rushed over from afar were frozen in place by fear, not daring to move an inch, as if the slightest movement would attract the old man's attention.
Several cultivators at the Refinement stage arrived a little late due to delays in their journey. Initially, they were furious, worried that someone else would snatch up such a priceless treasure as the Chaos Spirit Rhinoceros. But when they witnessed the tragic scene before them, a wave of relief washed over them.
They were secretly terrified. If they had arrived earlier and faced this terrifying old man directly... Thinking of this, they shuddered violently, a chill running from their feet to the top of their heads.
In extreme fear, many people knelt down before the old man with a thud, their voices trembling as they pleaded, "Senior, we were blind to your greatness and did not know you were here. We beg your forgiveness." They shrank back, each one filled with dread, fearing that the old man could easily kill them like the four Void Refinement stage cultivators with a single thought.
Faced with such absolute power, they dared not even entertain the slightest thought of escaping, only begging the old man to show mercy and spare their lives.
Several highly skilled cultivators in the Void Refinement stage, after a brief moment of shock, secretly plotted their next move, mustered their courage, and took to the air, quickly flying to the old man's side.
Their faces were filled with humble smiles as they bowed respectfully: "Senior, we are all cultivators from the surrounding Cangmang Mountain. We should have been waiting to welcome you when we heard of your arrival, but we were too foolish to know that you were here. We deserve to die for this. Please forgive us."
Their eagerness was an attempt to get closer to the old man, hoping to learn the secret manual for breaking through to the Integration Stage. Without such a manual, breaking through to the Integration Stage would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
However, the old man acted as if he didn't see them at all, remaining indifferent. His gaze swept over the crowd as if they were nothing more than insignificant ants.
He turned his head slightly, ignoring everyone present, and said to Bai Ying beside him, "Let's go."
Those cultivators who had been trying to curry favor froze instantly, their faces now filled with embarrassment and awkwardness.
Their faces instantly turned extremely pale, alternating between red and white. But under the old man's terrifying pressure, they didn't dare to even breathe loudly, let alone utter any words or make any moves of dissatisfaction.
Bai Ying quickly nodded respectfully to the old man, then turned her head, glanced at Qi Haoyuan and the others, and gave them a subtle wink, signaling them to leave first.
Qi Haoyuan and the others also quickly retreated and withdrew from the area.
However, just as Bai Ying was about to leave with the old man, her body suddenly stiffened, and an extremely familiar sensation instantly entered her senses. Bai Ying's eyes narrowed instantly, and she quickly turned her head to look in the direction of the old man.
Among the crowd, Bai Di's familiar figure came into view.
All these cultivators here were attracted by Bai Di, so Bai Ying naturally wouldn't let her go.
Since she wants me dead, I'll naturally make her pay.
Bai Di also noticed Bai Ying's gaze at that moment.
My heart skipped a beat, and my mind went blank for a moment.
She couldn't believe it. Mingying should have died here, so why was she traveling with such a terrifying big shot? And that big shot even stepped in to protect her!
Under Bai Ying's icy gaze, Bai Di's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Her face was ashen, and cold sweat poured down her forehead like rain.
Fearing that Bai Ying might attack her, she felt as if her soul was about to break free from her body's constraints and drift away.
Bai Ying turned to the old man beside her: "Senior, I have some private matters to attend to, I wonder if it would be alright..." But before she could finish speaking, the old man's gaze suddenly shot towards the distant horizon like lightning, and his expression instantly became serious.
"It's too late," the old man said in a deep voice. His large hand, like an iron clamp, grabbed Bai Ying's shoulder and, without saying a word, his spiritual power erupted instantly, carrying the two of them into the sky.
"You can deal with your personal matters later. I'm pressed for time here and can't afford to delay."
As the old man spoke, he increased his flight speed, his spiritual energy surging, tearing the surrounding air with ear-piercing sounds.
In the blink of an eye, the old man and Bai Ying's figures streaked across the sky like shooting stars and disappeared without a trace.
The cultivators present watched the two depart, their tense nerves instantly relaxing. Many breathed a sigh of relief, their legs giving way, and they collapsed to the ground.
Good heavens, I thought I was going to die here. It scared me to death.
"Yes, what kind of terrifying being is this? How can there be such a powerful person in the world? It's simply chilling."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, but their eyes remained fixed on the direction the old man had gone, unable to snap out of their daze for a long time.
After all, such a terrifying existence is simply unheard of.
These powerful figures, who were extremely formidable throughout the cultivation world, all wore expressions of relief at having survived a calamity.
After confirming that the old man had finally gone far away, Bai Di's heart, which had been hanging in his throat and almost jumping out of his chest, finally fell back into place with a "thump".
She collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, her hands braced against the floor, her fingertips turning slightly white from the exertion. It took her a long time to recover; she raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, the shadow of fear in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by an overwhelming sense of resentment.
Why...
Why should I?
Why would Bai Ying know such a person?
She deserves to die!
She had gone to great lengths to gather so many cultivators and powerful figures here, but Bai Ying just left like that! She was truly unwilling to accept it!
