"She...she killed all those Nascent Soul stage cultivators..."
A middle-aged cultivator in a blue Taoist robe muttered to himself, his lips trembling uncontrollably. His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees.
In the deathly silence of the scene, a series of gasps of cold air slowly rose and fell.
Those cultivators who usually looked down on the Xuan Tian Sect were now gaping, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Some people rubbed their eyes hard, as if to confirm that this was not a hallucination.
Some people were pinching their thighs so hard that they were grimacing in pain but dared not make a sound.
"Seven...seven Nascent Soul stage experts..." an elderly cultivator with white hair trembled, "Just like that...just like that, gone?"
His Daoist heart was on the verge of collapse, and his hundreds of years of cultivation and understanding were completely overturned at this moment.
Even the Xuantian Sect disciples who had witnessed Bai Ying subdue the Golden Toad were stunned.
"How can this White Fairy be so powerful? Every time I think she's surpassed my expectations, she just seems to get even stronger. It's terrifying... She's truly terrifying..."
As he spoke, the man turned to look at Wei Ji, his eyes filled with admiration. Who would have thought that Elder Wei would have such discerning eyes to recognize talent and befriend such a powerful figure?
Even Wei Ji hadn't expected Bai Ying to be so powerful!
When he asked her for help against Chu Wuchen, he didn't even expect her to be able to defeat him. Who would have thought that she would kill not only Chu Wuchen, but also so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators...
What kind of being did he find?!
What's most chilling is that after Bai Ying did all this, her breathing wasn't disturbed at all.
She simply stood there quietly, looking down at the formation. Then, with a flick of her finger, she forcefully peeled the formation off the ground and put it into her palm.
Bai Ying slowly raised her eyes, her icy gaze sweeping across the entire scene like a sharp sword. Those cultivators from various sects who had been eyeing her menacingly were now ashen-faced, not daring to utter a sound.
"Now, who else wants this Source Fruit?"
Her voice was soft, yet it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
An elder of the Xuan Yin Sect stepped forward with a stiff upper lip, his arms trembling as he cupped his hands in greeting: "Senior...we were blind to your greatness...it's all our fault, please forgive us..."
This man feared that Bai Ying would kill them all, but Bai Ying only uttered one word:
"roll."
That single word was like a pardon to everyone.
The cultivators from all factions scattered like birds and beasts. Some rushed into each other in their panic, while others didn't even bother to retrieve their natal magic weapons.
Several sect elders even tore through the void to escape, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would follow in the footsteps of those seven.
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling valley became completely empty.
Wei Ji let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed.
He stared at the devastated valley, still somewhat dazed. Could it be that the Xuantian Sect had actually obtained five Dao Source Fruits without losing a single soldier?
"Fairy Bai, would you be willing to return to the Xuan Tian Sect with us as a guest?" Wei Ji bowed respectfully, his voice tinged with trepidation. He knew that the small reward he offered was utterly insignificant compared to what Bai Ying had done today.
He wanted to take Bai Ying back so that the sect could offer some valuable treasures to thank the fairy.
Bai Ying shook her head, gazing into the distance: "I have important matters to attend to."
Although Wei Ji felt regretful, he dared not insist. Just as he was about to take his leave, Bai Ying suddenly raised her hand: "Wait."
Forty-nine array flags flew out from her sleeve, tracing mysterious paths in the air. In the blink of an eye, a simplified version of the Soul-Devouring Killing Array appeared.
"Take it." Bai Ying tossed the array plate to Wei Ji. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
Wei Ji accepted the array plate with both hands, his fingertips trembling with excitement. This simplified killing array, though not as powerful as the original, was enough to deter any villains. He bowed deeply to the ground: "Your Excellency's great kindness will be forever unforgettable for the Xuan Tian Sect!"
Bai Ying waved her hand, her clothes fluttering as she turned: "Let's go."
Watching her departing figure, Wei Ji carefully put away the array plate. With this life-saving talisman, they could finally return to the sect safely.
He glanced back at the devastated battlefield and murmured, "Today's events will likely shake the entire cultivation world..."

Meanwhile, Liu Yingjie and his group had already fled back to the Xuantian Sect's mountain gate in a sorry state. They had been terrified along the way, witnessing too many experts from various sects vying for the Dao Source Fruit. They had seen several experts at the Nascent Soul stage, and their faces were still ashen.
"This is utterly absurd!" Liu Yingjie kicked aside a pebble in front of the mountain gate, gritting his teeth as he said, "A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to lead the entire Xuantian Sect to their deaths! The Sect Leader and Elder Wei have truly lost their minds!"
The disciples following behind him echoed his sentiments:
"Exactly! They even talked about taking the shortcut through the Narrow Pass, a place even Nascent Soul stage cultivators dare not easily set foot in!"
"I think that White Fairy is a madwoman, yet the sect leader trusts her so much that he let her lead the team! She's really got our Xuantian Sect doomed!"
"Yes..." The disciple who said this was very dejected. "Those who can board the flying ship are all the geniuses of our sect. I also worked so hard to board the flying ship, but I never thought that in the end only a few of us could come back. If I had known, I would have persuaded everyone to come back together."
