As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible hand gently waved in the air.
The seemingly casual movements contain incredible power.
The extremely Yin fire that had been burning fiercely on the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Star Glory Sect, causing them immense pain and leaving them helpless, was extinguished instantly as if it had encountered its natural enemy, leaving only charred marks on the three of them.
At the same time, the Kongtong Seal, which was controlled by the giant hand, suddenly dimmed and shrank rapidly, like a docile little bird, flying back into Bai Ying's hand.
Bai Ying gripped the Kongtong Seal tightly, her face full of resentment.
She looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with stubbornness.
Meanwhile, the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Star Glory Sect collapsed to the ground. Having survived the ordeal, their faces still bore the lingering fear as they gasped for breath and looked around with lingering unease.
The other cultivators present looked at each other in disbelief, speechless in shock at this sudden turn of events. The originally fierce battle came to an abrupt end due to the intervention of a mysterious force.
That giant hand seemed to be the rule of this testing ground, sensing that someone was about to die, and intervened at the critical moment.
However, before anyone could recover from this sudden turn of events, the giant hand traced a strange arc in the air and abruptly reached out towards Bai Ying's mother, Zhou Ying. At the same time, a chilling voice echoed once more: "Cheating during the test! Your spiritual root will be abolished!"
Zhou Ying had been cowering at the edge of the crowd, hoping to escape unscathed while everyone was in chaos and no one would pay attention to her.
But to her utter surprise, the giant hand seemed to have eyes, locking onto her directly and instantly lifting her into the air.
Zhou Ying's feet left the ground, her body dangling in mid-air. Terrified, her face turned ashen. She struggled desperately, her hands flailing wildly in the air, and a series of screams burst from her mouth: "Let me go! Let me go!"
In her panic, her eyes darted towards Bai Ying as if grasping at a straw, and she pleaded desperately, "Bai Ying, please say something for me! I'm your mother. You can't do this to me!"
Bai Ying's face, which was already slightly tired from the battle, was now tightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of complex emotions.
She looked at Zhou Ying quietly, her voice not loud, but with an undeniable firmness: "Since you've done such a thing, you should bear the consequences. I can't help you!"
"No! You can do it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying's emotions instantly became even more agitated. She shouted urgently at Bai Ying, her voice becoming sharp and piercing due to despair.
“You can tell the testing stone that I didn’t cheat. You cheated yourself, and the testing stone can’t find out. As long as someone admits it, that’s enough! Haven’t you already lost your spiritual root once? You’re not afraid of losing your spiritual root at all. Hurry up and tell me! Haven’t you harmed your sister enough? Do you want to kill me too?”
Bai Ying was incredulous when she heard these words. She never imagined that Zhou Ying could say such shameless things.
It was clearly Zhou Ying and Bai Di who colluded to frame her time and time again, attempting to ruin her reputation. Yet now Zhou Ying is turning black into white and pinning all the blame on her.
Bai Ying looked coldly at the crazed woman in front of her, a wave of nausea she had never felt before rising in her heart.
These were the family members she had missed and longed for day and night, curled up in her cold bed on countless lonely nights.
It was her mother who supported her through the long and arduous journey of self-cultivation, the mother she longed to embrace in her dreams...
When Bai Ying first met Zhou Ying, Zhou Ying did show her kindness and concern. However, compared to Bai Di, her concern was pitifully little.
Bai Ying repeatedly let Bai Di go because of Zhou Ying's coercion. But Bai Di never intended to let her go.
Does she really want me to just stand there and do nothing, letting Bai Di kill me, before she'll be satisfied?
It's absolutely ridiculous and disgusting!
She had long seen through and no longer needed these so-called family ties!
Bai Ying walked slowly towards Zhou Ying, each step seemingly treading on her own broken family ties. Her face wore an unusually mocking expression as she said:
"Why should I help you? You and Bai Di have hurt me time and time again. From beginning to end, not one member of your Bai family has ever treated me as your relative."
Am I a heartless, emotionless person? My silence doesn't mean I don't despise you.
You should have considered the terrible price you would pay for doing something that violates the rules and morality.
Seeing that Bai Ying remained unmoved, Zhou Ying was completely consumed by anger and despair.
The large hand gripped her body even tighter, causing her to tremble in pain.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared fiercely at Bai Ying, as if she wanted to devour her alive.
If she still felt a trace of maternal love when she first met Bai Ying, then after seeing Bai Ying destroy Bai Di and then try to destroy her, she felt nothing but hatred towards Bai Ying.
She had previously hoped that Bai Ying could live, but now a wicked thought was growing in her heart.
Why didn't Bai Ying die?
Why did she come back to mess everything up?
She not only harmed her sister, but also her own mother!
Zhou Ying sneered viciously:
"Bai Ying, you beast! Why did I give birth to you? If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. Our whole family would be fine! It's all your fault, all your fault! You deserve to die! What have you done to our family?"
At this moment, Bai Yanfeng also rushed out from the crowd, looking at Bai Ying with the same hatred in his eyes.
His gaze seemed to want to tear Bai Ying to pieces, and he cursed:
"You bastard! Why did you suddenly appear and shatter our family's peace! Mother was right, if it weren't for you, our family would be so much happier right now! It's all your fault! Mother should have strangled you when you were born!"
Everyone present gasped at the chaotic scene. No one had expected that the Bai family would be so shameless as to distort the truth to such an outrageous degree.
From the very beginning, it was they who meticulously plotted against and persecuted Bai Ying, employing countless schemes and tricks. Yet now, the words coming from their mouths make it seem as if Bai Ying is the heinous culprit who disrupted their lives—this is utterly absurd.
