Bai Ying stood there tall and straight, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
The cultivators behind her stared in utter astonishment, their minds still reeling from what was happening before them.
The initial shock was quickly replaced by ecstasy, and a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd.
"Oh my god! Is this real? Bai Ying really did it! She drove away all those damned monsters! We're safe!"
"Aaaaaah! Thank goodness, I survived! Waaaaah, I was so scared!"
Many cultivators squatted on the ground, covering their faces with their hands, tears streaming down their faces through their fingers. Their shoulders trembled violently, as if they were trying to cry out all the fear they had accumulated.
The group excitedly huddled together, cheering, jumping, and high-fiving each other. They couldn't believe that just moments before they had been in dire straits, trembling with fear from the overwhelming horde of monsters, but now they had miraculously escaped danger.
Looking around, the massive body of the Chilong lay scattered on the ground, along with the corpses of other demonic beasts, a scene of utter devastation. These ferocious beasts that had once terrified them were now all lifeless.
You have to understand that with so many dragons and so many demonic beasts, even if there were a super expert at the Nascent Soul stage here, it would be an almost impossible task to repel them all.
But Bai Ying did it...
She single-handedly turned the tide and rewrote their destiny with her own strength.
At this moment, the doubts these cultivators had about Bai Ying had long since vanished, replaced by endless admiration and awe.
They watched Bai Ying's retreating figure, their eyes filled with fervent adoration.
In their hearts, Bai Ying was not only powerful, she was practically their savior.
Her strength far exceeded all their previous expectations.

On the other side, Qiu Shi couldn't believe what she was seeing and knelt heavily on the ground with a thud.
Damn it.
what to do?
He never expected that Bai Ying, who looked so ordinary, would hide such a chilling power.
"She killed those dragons! She actually killed them! Is she even human?"
Wang Qiushi's lips trembled as he muttered to himself.
He felt as if his spine had been removed, collapsing to the ground, his mind blank.
They originally thought that the demonic beasts summoned by the Beast-Attracting Pill would be enough to kill them all.
But now, Bai Ying has single-handedly turned the tide.
If she finds out that I was the one who attracted these monsters...
Wang Qiushi dared not think any further. A chill ran from the soles of his feet up his spine, making him shiver involuntarily.
In his panic, he scrambled and crawled towards the white flute, every movement filled with desperate frantic effort. At that moment, he only hoped that his actions had been discreet enough to go unnoticed by anyone.
As he ran, Wang Qiushi frantically calculated in his mind what to do next, now that everyone was safe and sound. Should he devise another plan to kill them, or apologize to them and try to blend in?
His thoughts were like a tangled mess, the more he tried to untangle them, the more chaotic they became.
Before he could figure it out, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his neck, as if he were being gripped tightly by an invisible yet powerful hand.
His feet were lifted off the ground, and he was hoisted into the air. His body struggled helplessly in the air, his hands trying in vain to pry open the invisible "hands," and his legs kicking wildly, but he could not break free from this fatal restraint.
The cultivators behind Bai Ying, who were cheering, suddenly saw Wang Qiushi appear in mid-air and fly towards Bai Ying at an extremely fast speed.
His neck seemed to be pulled by an invisible yet powerful force, tightly adhering to Bai Ying's palm, and then firmly grasped by Bai Ying, unable to move.
Everyone was shocked by what they saw. "What on earth is going on?" Exclamations rose and fell among the crowd. They looked at each other, unable to explain the bizarre scene before them.
"Bai Ying, what are you doing? Quickly put Senior Brother Wang down!" The first to break the silence were several cultivators from the Crane Cloud Sect.
It should be noted that Wang Qiushi, as the favored disciple of the Crane Cloud Sect's sect leader, held a pivotal position within the sect. Bai Ying's actions at this moment were undoubtedly tantamount to publicly slapping the Crane Cloud Sect in the face.
The people of Heyun Sect already harbored extreme hatred for Bai Ying. Previously, Bai Ying had spoken arrogantly to their sect leader, words they had never forgotten and still held a grudge against her.
Having barely survived the siege of the demonic beasts, they had just begun to soften their attitude towards Bai Ying. However, no one expected that Bai Ying would do such a thing at this moment.
"Bai Ying, Senior Brother Wang doesn't like you and has indeed said a lot of bad things about you along the way. But how could he have imagined that you actually have such amazing abilities? He was unaware of it, and ignorance is no excuse. How could you take revenge at this time!" A cultivator from the Crane Cloud Sect said indignantly.
"That's right! Senior Brother Wang didn't mean to target you. If you're so powerful, why didn't you show it sooner? If you haven't shown anything, how would we know how strong you are?"
"And if you had told us earlier that you were really that powerful, we would have gone with you from the start. How could I have let those dragons kill so many of my fellow disciples? Wasn't that your fault?"
"That's right! None of us blamed you for causing the deaths of so many of our fellow disciples, yet you treated Senior Brother Wang like this. You went too far!"
"You think you're so great just because you saved us? This whole thing started because of you, so it's only right that you saved us!"
The members of the Crane Cloud Sect were all talking at once, their emotions running high, as if Bai Ying had committed an unforgivable crime. They believed that all of the Crane Cloud Sect's losses were because of Bai Ying.
The cultivators from the Lingyin Sect also looked grim. It was Bai Ying who had turned the tide and saved everyone's lives, yet these people not only showed no gratitude but also blamed Bai Ying with righteous indignation.
Lingyu couldn't stand it any longer. She angrily took a step forward, wishing she could give these ungrateful people a good scolding.
However, just as he was about to speak, Bai Ying reached out and gently stopped him.
Bai Ying coldly uttered a single question: "Who was the one who used the Beast-Attracting Pill to lure those demonic beasts here?"
A simple sentence, yet it struck like a heavy hammer, instantly silencing those noisy people and leaving them speechless.
It was Wang Qiushi who used the beast-attracting pill to lure the monster over.
"But Senior Brother didn't do it on purpose, did he? How could he have known that the demonic beasts in this secret realm would be so powerful?"
"This is all because you didn't reveal your strength to everyone in the first place, which is why your senior brother wanted to test you. Come to think of it, it's all because of you!"
The people of Heyun Sect were still trying to defend Wang Qiushi when they suddenly heard Bai Ying say:
"Guess where those additional monsters came from?"
One sentence made all the cultivators present widen their eyes!
