"Bai... Ying..."
The call was forced from Bai Yanfeng's throat, yet it carried the chilling tremor unique to Bai Di. She deliberately imitated her brother's tone, her lips twisting into a strange arc, trying to express concern while simultaneously suppressing her hatred: "Are you alright? I...I was so worried about you..."
Bai Ying didn't even lift her eyelids; she simply used the tip of her sword to gently push away the other person's hand that was trying to help her up.
This subtle movement caused Bai Di's pupils to shrink sharply, and his anger flared up instantly.
His left hand, hidden in his sleeve, instantly formed the Soul Devouring Technique. Bai Yanfeng's slender fingers were enveloped in an eerie black mist, and his nails became sharper at a visible speed, like the claws of a demon.
Closer...
As long as it touches her skin...
Bai Di lowered his eyes to hide the fervor in them, his gaze greedily sweeping over Bai Ying's slender neck.
She had rehearsed it a thousand times in her mind—first, seal Bai Ying's acupoints with the Soul-Destroying Needles, then use the Soul-Devouring Demon Art to drain her cultivation, and finally...
Thinking of this, a cruel smile unconsciously crept onto Bai Di's lips.
Bai Di secretly activated the Soul Devouring Demon Art, and an abnormal black light began to emanate from Bai Yanfeng's dantian, as if his whole body was shrouded in darkness.
She had already modified the body's meridians to suit possession, carefully adjusting every acupoint and meridian; now all that was missing was an opportunity to make contact.
As long as she touches Bai Ying, she can instantly drain all of that bitch's cultivation!
Bai Di's eyes narrowed, his gaze filled with desire and greed.
Or perhaps she could possess Bai Ying's body.
Bai Ying is so powerful, this body must be very strong too, which is perfect for me.
Imagining himself possessing Bai Ying's powerful body and becoming a top expert in the cultivation world, Bai Di's heart was filled with excitement.
However, White Whistle did not act immediately.
Bai Ying was too powerful, which made her dare not act rashly.
She couldn't guarantee she would succeed in one strike.
She was an extremely cautious person, and she preferred to kill Bai Ying when she was certain of success rather than take such a risk in this situation.
As she spoke, Bai Di's eyes turned to a figure in the distance, a demon she had met in the secret realm.
The demon man was tall and exuded a nauseating aura. He stood under a withered tree, toying with a blood-red array plate in his hand, his eyes filled with malice.
Previously, White Flute did not intend to cooperate with the demons.
Cooperating with the demons is tantamount to joining them as well. Even if you manage to kill Bai Ying, you will be hated by the entire cultivation world and become an object of universal condemnation.
So when the demons approached her for cooperation, she resolutely refused.
But now she has no choice.
It was all that bastard Bai Ying's fault that she was forced into this situation!
In the shadow of an ancient locust tree in the distance, a demon man toyed with a blood-red array plate in his hand.
His scarlet tongue licked his fangs as he telepathically transmitted to Bai Di, "Bai Family Ancestral Hall... I've set up the Myriad Demons Devouring Heart Array there... No matter how strong Bai Ying is, she will die as soon as she enters!"
A strange smile curved Bai Di's lips, and a hint of triumphant satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
She quickly adjusted her expression, adopting Bai Yanfeng's face to look heartbroken, even squeezing out a few tears.
"Bai Ying..." She deliberately softened her voice, making Bai Yanfeng's voice tremble with emotion, "Do you know? Father and Mother think of you day and night. That bitch Bai Di... she deserved to die!"
As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, her face filled with regret and self-reproach. "I had no choice before... She kidnapped my mother and forced me to lead you to those cultivators..."
Bai Di feigned wiping her eyes, her voice growing increasingly sorrowful, "Thankfully, it's all over now. From now on, you'll be my only sister, and Father and Mother will make it up to you... Let's go back."
Meanwhile, inside the storage pouch at Bai Di's waist, Bai Ying and Zhou Ying were nearly driven mad.
Zhou Ying's ten fingers were already a bloody mess, her nails curled up, and blood stained the inside of the storage bag, but she still desperately tore at the opening, trying to rush out and warn Bai Ying.
"She's lying to you! Ying'er!" Zhou Ying's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs. "She has ill intentions!"
The white eagle's eyes were bloodshot, its feathers standing on end. It concentrated all its remaining spiritual energy in its throat and let out a deep roar: "Don't trust her! Bai Ying! Don't go with her!"
However, these shouts were firmly blocked by the seal on the bag opening, and could not reach the outside world at all.
They could only watch helplessly as Bai Ying fell into danger, their hearts filled with anxiety and regret.
Bai Di looked at Bai Ying with confidence, but what he received in return was a cold reply: "I will not go back with you."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Bai Di's head, causing a moment of panic to flash through her heart.
Zhou Ying and Bai Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before they could even feel happy, they suddenly heard Bai Ying's voice again.
"I don't think they want to see me. I killed their beloved daughter; they should be wanting to kill me right now."
Bai Ying and Zhou Ying were struck dumb, their bodies stiffening as if by lightning.
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of the couple.
They recalled that when Bai Di died, their first thought was indeed to kill Bai Ying to avenge her.
It wasn't until... until Bai Di personally killed Bai Yanfeng and drained the entire Bai family dry that they truly felt the pain of losing a loved one, and realized how absurd their previous thoughts had been. They realized they had raised a wolf!
No!
Bai Di stepped forward hastily, grabbing Bai Ying's wrist. A glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. "You've misunderstood! Your father and mother have long regretted it! That madwoman Bai Di... she... she saw that Mother didn't want to deal with you, so she actually... tried to kill Mother. Mother is completely disappointed in her. Now Mother is seriously injured by her, and Father is taking care of Mother. Why don't you come with me to see them? They really miss you."
Bai Di spoke incoherently, secretly exerting force on his hands, trying to forcibly drag Bai Ying away.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, fearing that Bai Ying would refuse.
Little did she know, Bai Ying had already seen through her disguise. From the moment Bai Yanfeng spoke, she sensed something was amiss.
Bai Yanfeng's eyes, tone of voice, and actions were all very different from usual.
She also noticed the furtive demon figure in the distance. The evil aura emanating from the demon and the blood-red array plate in its hand set off alarm bells in her heart.
Just as she was about to finish off Bai Di, she suddenly sensed a familiar aura.
That demon was carrying upgrade materials for the Ice Jade Pendant!
A barely perceptible glint of joy flashed in Bai Ying's eyes, and she quickly made a plan in her mind.
Bai Di was still thinking of reasons to persuade Bai Ying to go back with her, but he didn't notice the cold glint in Bai Ying's eyes.
Bai Ying said to her with a cold laugh, "Fine."
