Ruan Xinrou was still telling everyone about Bai Ying's mistakes.
But at that moment, she saw Bai Ying walking towards them.
Ruan Xinrou's eyes widened, a hint of panic flashing in them: "How did you get here?"
Why am I not here?
As soon as Bai Ying spoke, everyone around Ruan Xinrou yelled at her, "How dare you show your face! It's all your fault, you killed so many people!"
"Bai Ying, you beast! I'll make you pay for my junior sister's life!"
"You shameless bastard, how can you walk out like this? How can you not even feel a trace of remorse on your face! Do you know how many people have died because of you? Did you deliberately try to kill them?!"
These people were all incredibly agitated, practically wanting to kill Bai Ying.
Some even brought out their magical artifacts. "I'm going to kill you to avenge my junior brother!"
Even Su Yu, his eyes red, stared at her and shouted, "Do you know that Sixth Junior Brother died because of you, Bai Ying?!"
Su Yu's eyes were bloodshot. He had been grieving Bai Ying's departure and had tried everything to bring her back. He never imagined she would turn around and kill his sixth junior brother!
"How could you..." Large tears fell from Su Yu's eyes. He also took out the magical artifact from his storage ring.
"Kneel down! I have no choice but to punish you today!"
Bai Ying looked at the group of people in front of her and found it amusing that they showed no anger whatsoever.
Based solely on Ruan Xinrou's testimony, they were able to immediately convict her, and the atmosphere became tense and confrontational.
However, Bai Ying had long been used to this when she was in Huayang Sect, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
But she didn't speak; instead, the people from the Lingxiao Sect spoke first.
"Seriously? You're going to pin the blame on Bai Ying just based on Ruan Xinrou's words? Do you have any evidence?"
The speaker was Ye Yuting. She had met Bai Ying before and was the one who told Bai Ying about Wang Qi and Wang Miaomiao's whereabouts.
Bai Ying was too fast at the time, and they couldn't catch up. By the time she came looking for her, Bai Ying had already disappeared.
They searched around, never expecting to see such a scene.
Although Ye Yuting hadn't known Bai Ying for very long, she knew Bai Ying wasn't that kind of person. Besides, it was really too much to convict someone based on just one side of the story.
As she spoke, Ye Yuting looked at Ruan Xinrou and asked, "You said this was done by my junior sister Bai, where's the evidence?"
Ruan Xinrou's face turned pale.
"I......"
She had no evidence at all.
Ye Yuting sneered, "Then I could say you lured the monster here with the Beast-Attracting Grass! It's just a matter of talking; anyone can say those things."
Su Yu quickly stepped forward to protect Ruan Xinrou: "Our Huayang Sect has information about the Shadow Valley Trial, which clearly records the effects of the Beast-Attracting Grass. Don't even think about slandering my junior sister!"
He spoke with righteous indignation, but failed to notice that Ruan Xinrou's face had become even paler.
Ruan Xinrou had several people around her who had been currying favor with her since the trial entrance.
Seeing Ye Yuting confronting Ruan Xinrou, she quickly stepped forward: "Junior Sister Ruan is not the kind of person to lie. If she says it's Bai Ying, then it's Bai Ying!"
“That’s right! Brother Su Yu, don’t you think so? Wasn’t Bai Ying from your Huayang Sect before? You should know her very well.”
"Bai Ying is now a member of the Lingxiao Sect. Your Lingxiao Sect is afraid of getting into trouble, so naturally you have to protect her."
Su Yu's breathing was uneven, clearly indicating that he was extremely annoyed with Bai Ying.
He completely ignored Ye Yuting's words and was convinced that Bai Ying had killed Qin Zijin.
Junior Sister has information about the Shadow Valley Trials; she couldn't possibly be unaware of the Beast-Attracting Grass. She would definitely warn Bai Ying if she saw it. Therefore, what she said must be the truth.
"Bai Ying!" He drew his sword towards Bai Ying.
"Kneel down and apologize to everyone here!"
Bai Ying couldn't help but laugh when she saw him.
At that moment, she actually realized that when people are speechless to the extreme, they can actually laugh.
The people of Lingxiao Sect, who weren't particularly familiar with her, all firmly believed in her, while her senior brother, who had raised her since childhood, indiscriminately took the blame upon her.
Su Yu had already spoken, and the others were convinced that Bai Ying had killed their fellow disciples. They all wished they could kill Bai Ying.
Seeing her still able to laugh at this moment only fueled his extreme anger.
"You bastard! How dare you laugh?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Ruan Xinrou said to her, "Senior sister, you were really wrong this time. You have to bear the punishment you deserve. I can't speak up for you anymore... but can everyone please spare my senior sister's life?"
As soon as Ruan Xinrou finished speaking, someone said to her:
"Junior Sister Ruan! You are so kind-hearted. She has made such a mistake, and you are still pleading for her!"
"Senior sister may just be ignorant and not know that the beast-attracting grass will attract monsters."
Bai Ying watched Ruan Xinrou and that person singing in unison, and coldly said to her:
"Junior Sister Ruan, now that I have committed such a serious mistake, what kind of punishment should I receive?"
"Fine! You finally admit it. Then you'll cripple your cultivation and become a mortal!" someone immediately shouted. "And you'll have to kneel before every cultivator and repent to them!"
"A bastard like you deserves to be torn to pieces. Junior Sister Ruan is sorry for you and wants to spare your life, so we can spare you, but you will have to suffer greatly before we heal you and make sure you don't die!"
