Bai Ying coldly stared at the corpses, then slowly walked to the bronze mirror that had just withstood the fatal blow from Pangu's axe.
With a flick of her wrist, the cracked bronze mirror flew into her palm.
Bai Ying's fingertips traced the spiderweb-like cracks on the mirror's surface, then suddenly stopped at the edge, where an inconspicuous piece of dark iron, about the size of a fingernail, was embedded, its surface covered with dents from the erosion of time.
"Um?"
The instant her fingertips touched the iron plate, the three jade pendants within her consciousness suddenly trembled violently. The warm, smooth jade surfaces glowed with a scorching red light, a feeling... as if fragments of a divine artifact, lost for many years, had finally reunited.
Bai Ying's pupils suddenly contracted.
These three jade pendants were her greatest reliance, yet at this moment they resonated so strongly with this piece of iron!
This piece of iron must be extraordinary.
Without hesitation, she pointed her finger like a knife and with a "clang," peeled the iron sheet off the bronze mirror.
The moment the iron piece detached from her body, the entire bronze mirror suddenly shattered into dust with a "crack," while the dark iron piece floated in her palm, and fine golden patterns began to appear on its surface.
Bai Ying could tell that the piece of iron must have come from some kind of divine artifact. She put the piece of iron away.
Just then, she suddenly felt all the oppressive force disappear completely from within the formation.
The formation returned to calm; without its oppressive aura, it could no longer be activated.
Bai Ying wore a bitter smile.
When she was cultivating inside the Bronze Gate, she was expelled from it. She then realized that it seemed that Senior Bai Li, who had passed on the "Tai Xu Shen Zhao Jing" to her, did not want her to continue cultivating like this, but rather wanted her to gain experience in the outside world.
The same applies now. Although she gave her the pressure from the upper realm to help her kill those people, she doesn't want her to rely on these things forever.
So after Bai Ying resolved the crisis, she withdrew all that oppressive aura.
Bai Ying bowed three times to the place where the bronze gate was located. If it weren't for the pressure from the upper realm inside the bronze gate, she would have died just now.
Now, although the heaven-defying formation can no longer be used, she has completely resolved the crisis.
Bai Ying was still in shock; the earth-shattering power she felt when she activated the artifact's phantom was still faintly surging in her meridians.
The Pangu Axe's power to split the heavens and the Xuanyuan Sword's sharpness to cleave mountains and rivers... these are but a fraction of the true power of divine artifacts.
Although she had only used the phantoms of those divine artifacts in the formation, she had already felt their power.
"If the true form were here..." she murmured to herself, a burning glint in her eyes. But then she shook her head and chuckled. Such a divine artifact could probably not even withstand the descent of its true form in the entire lower realm of cultivation.
Upon seeing this, Wei Ji and Master Tinglan quickly stepped forward and solemnly bowed to Bai Ying to offer their congratulations.
"The White Fairy is incredibly powerful. Today's battle has truly broadened our horizons!" Wei Ji said with awe, his voice filled with undisguised shock.
Master Tinglan bowed deeply and solemnly said, "Fairy Bai, you turned the tide this time. If it weren't for your help, we would probably have perished here long ago. I will remember this kindness and gratitude!"
Bai Ying shook her head slightly, her expression calm, but her eyes held a hint of genuine gratitude. She knew very well that in the cultivation world, a place where the strong prey on the weak, very few people would stand up for her in a life-or-death situation.
"You two are too kind. If it weren't for your help, I might not have been able to hold on until the very end." Her tone was calm, but the weight of her words warmed the hearts of Wei Ji and Master Tinglan.
Upon seeing this, Master Tinglan's heart stirred, and he immediately extended a solemn invitation: "Fairy Bai, if you have nowhere to go for the time being, why not come with me back to the Xuantian Sect for a chat? Although my sect is not a top-tier sect, it still has a profound foundation and may be able to help you advance further."
Bai Ying thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. "Alright, then I'll take the trouble to bother you."
She has just emerged from a fierce battle, and although she won, she has suffered considerable losses. Moreover, she needs time to study that mysterious piece of iron. The Xuan Tian Sect might be a good place to rest temporarily.
——
Shortly after Bai Ying left with True Person Tinglan, a shocking piece of news swept through the entire Eastern Continent like a hurricane, affecting the gathering places of various sects, families, and independent cultivators!
"Have you heard? A cultivator named Bai Ying single-handedly fought nine Void Refinement stage experts and dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and actually killed them all!"
"What? How is this possible? Which Void Refinement stage cultivator isn't a regional overlord? Nine of them joining forces, even a Nascent Soul stage expert would have to back down, right?"
"Absolutely true! It's said that the battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth trembled, and even ancient formations were activated! Those cultivators died in extremely gruesome ways, without even a complete corpse left behind!"
"Just who exactly is this Bai Ying?"
"The Bai Ying you mentioned, is she the one marked with the tracking mark?"
"It is indeed this person. Can you believe she was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, all alone, and seemed like an easy target? Yet, she managed to kill so many Void Refinement cultivators who came. This woman is truly terrifying!"
In an instant, the entire cultivation world was shaken! Countless cultivators discussed it, and the high-ranking officials of various sects held emergency meetings and sent people to find out about Bai Ying's background.
Some people are in awe of it, some are wary of it, and some... harbor ill intentions!
Among mortals, Bai Ying's name is also widely known.
They all wondered who this Bai Ying was.
When a cultivator showed everyone the footage of Bai Ying fighting nine Nascent Soul stage cultivators alone under the Dao Source Tree, everyone was stunned.
Inside the Xia residence, Xia Qingdai's mother was still cursing her daughter, saying that she had killed her own sister and her father, and deserved to die a horrible death!
After losing two relatives in a row, Xia's mother had no choice but to return to her mother's home, where she wished she could curse her own daughter Xia Qingdai to death every day.
But just then, a servant rushed in.
"Madam, please stop! Please stop!"
Xia's mother retorted angrily, "So what if I cursed that beast? She was born of me, why can't I curse her?"
"Madam, look!"
The servant hurriedly took out a Qiankun Mirror.
Then they saw Bai Ying fighting alone against nine Nascent Soul stage cultivators...
Everyone stared wide-eyed, hardly believing what they were seeing.
In the cultivation world, everyone calls her Bai Ying, but the name Bai Ying was leaked by the people of the Xuan Tian Sect. She has not yet transformed into her true appearance and is still using Xia Qingdai's appearance.
So everyone here recognized her.
The white firefly in the Qiankun Mirror is clearly Madam Xia's own flesh and blood, Xia Qingdai!
