The Nascent Soul cultivators were all dumbfounded.
They stared at their empty hands. "What happened? I was sure I grabbed it!"
After saying this, they refused to believe it and immediately went to the place where the fox spirit bone had appeared, grabbing at it again. But to their surprise, they still couldn't catch it. The fox spirit bone seemed to have grown legs; it was impossible to grasp it.
Realizing they'd been tricked by Bai Ying, the Nascent Soul cultivators instantly flew into a rage. "You think controlling this demon fox bone will make it impossible for us to catch you? Since you're so ungrateful, then I'll wipe you all out!"
The Nascent Soul cultivator who spoke was already furious. His eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and his face was flushed red with rage.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and instantly summoned a magical artifact shaped like a towering mountain.
The moment the magical artifact appeared, strange light flowed along its patterns, and amidst a series of buzzing sounds, it visibly expanded dozens of times in size. Its massive body resembled a dark cloud stretching across the sky, casting a vast shadow. Its powerful pressure spread outwards like a tidal wave, making the surrounding air seem heavy and oppressive, and the space itself appeared to distort, as if unable to withstand this sudden and immense power.
Seeing the incredibly oppressive scene, Ruan Xinrou immediately crouched down and screamed.
"What are you two doing? If they want it, just give it to them, isn't that enough? Do you have to get us all killed?"
Ruan Xinrou was terrified. They could have simply given them the items, but the two of them insisted on playing games with them.
But the opponent is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
They are far beyond their capabilities! What are those two doing?
For the first time, Yan Chiling found Ruan Xinrou annoying and gave her a somewhat disgusted look before saying to the Nascent Soul cultivators, "Come on then! Let's see who's afraid of whom?"
Ruan Xinrou looked at Yan Chiling in disbelief: "Senior Brother Yan?"
Bai Ying simply used a small spell to seal Ruan Xinrou's mouth shut.
Ruan Xinrou burst into tears instantly, and her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Bai Ying, wishing she could kill her!
In Ruan Xinrou's heart, everything Bai Ying possessed belonged to her. Even her cultivation, magic, spiritual root, and golden core should all be hers.
Previously, in the sect, Bai Ying's cultivation level was comparable to hers. In fact, because of the affection of her fellow disciples, Bai Ying was almost like a foot-washing maid in her eyes.
But now, with just a spell, Bai Ying can prevent her from even opening her mouth.
This was an extreme humiliation for Ruan Xinrou!
Ruan Xinrou's face was extremely ugly. She glared angrily at Bai Ying, then looked at Yan Chiling, hoping he would stand up for her.
But where would Yan Chiling find the energy to see her right now?
The flying artifact beneath Yan Chiling's feet streaked across the sky like a streak of light.
His expression was solemn, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. As he moved forward at high speed, he continuously poured spiritual energy into the array that Bai Ying had carefully set up. The spiritual energy flowed like a trickle into the array's veins through his fingertips, causing the array's light to flicker, as if it were struggling to maintain some kind of balance.
Bai Ying was the same; her beautiful face was full of determination. She bit her lower lip lightly and exerted all her spiritual power, pouring it into the formation with all her might. Supported by the combined spiritual power of the two, the formation, though teetering on the verge of collapse, stubbornly emitted a faint halo.
However, the Nascent Soul cultivators who witnessed their actions curled their lips into a disdainful sneer, their eyes filled with mockery and contempt, as if they were looking at two ignorant idiots.
In their view, Yan Chiling and Bai Ying's struggles were futile.
The mountain-shaped magical artifact, like an ancient behemoth, roared down towards Bai Ying and her companion with immense force. The air around the artifact was rapidly compressed, emitting sharp whistling sounds, as if the very space itself was about to be crushed. The Nascent Soul cultivators were certain that under such pressure, Yan Chiling and her companion would surely die.
However, to everyone's surprise, just as the mountain-shaped magical artifact was about to touch them, the seemingly precarious formation suddenly erupted with a blinding light. The powerful force, like a surging wave, spread outwards, actually resisting the downward pressure of the mountain-like magical artifact. It also generated a strong counterforce, causing the magical artifact to tremble slightly and sway in the air.
The Nascent Soul cultivator simply couldn't believe it. His magic weapon was a top-grade one! How could it not even crush a few Golden Core cultivators?
However, to his even greater surprise, at that very moment, the magical artifact suddenly lost contact with him. It remained motionless in the air, no matter how the Nascent Soul cultivator tried to activate it.
These Nascent Soul cultivators refused to believe in such superstitions and unleashed their magical artifacts, all attacking them.
However, the moment these magical artifacts were taken out of the storage bag, they were all severed from their connection, just like the mountain-shaped artifact.
The cultivators' expressions changed drastically instantly. "What exactly happened?"
Bai Ying looked at them coldly: "Do you have any more magical artifacts to take out? If not, I'm going to make my move!"
One sentence threw all these Nascent Soul cultivators into a panic.
Despite being just a young girl at the Golden Core stage, she gave them a chilling feeling.
This bizarre scene instantly instilled a powerful sense of crisis in me.
Someone said, "Let's take back our respective magical treasures and leave!"
But what happened next was even more terrifying.
They suddenly felt themselves frozen in place, unable to move at all. Not only could they not retrieve the magic weapon, they couldn't even walk!
Yan Chiling walked over from behind and said to Bai Ying with a smile, "Stop wasting time talking to them, just activate the formation!"
After saying this, his fingers, imbued with powerful spiritual energy, shot towards the core of the magic array like a sharp arrow. The instant his fingertips touched the core, it was as if some mysterious mechanism had been triggered, and the entire magic array was instantly enveloped in a layer of dazzling light, sealing it off perfectly.
The once expansive and magnificent magic circle seemed to be being kneaded by an invisible giant hand, and began to shrink rapidly. The light within the circle grew increasingly intense with the contraction, like a star rapidly collapsing, dazzling yet dangerous. Every inch of the magic circle's contraction was accompanied by violent tremors in the air, emitting a low hum.
Only then did those Nascent Soul cultivators realize that they had actually been trapped in a large formation!
