Bai Yao was gradually suppressed, and Nangong Ling'er was shocked. The formation here was truly extraordinary. She had gathered thousands of people outside the Northern Plains before, but they were unable to suppress Bai Yu. On the contrary, this sect-protecting formation was able to suppress Bai Yao, whose strength was above Bai Yu's. This was beyond her expectations.
Nanmen Ruoxuan's face was very pale, likely due to the significant effect of the sect's protective formation. Seeing the two locked in a stalemate, Nangong Ling'er quickly spoke up to disturb Nanmen Ruoxuan, "Nanmen Ruoxuan, you shouldn't be able to control this formation, right? This formation is extremely yang and powerful, filling this entire area with the most domineering sword intent. It seems to be related to your Nanmen family's swordsmanship. But why are you determined to kill us? You are skilled in ghost techniques..."
Halfway through her sentence, Nangong Ling'er couldn't continue, as if bound by something. Remembering the oath she had sworn to the Heavenly Dao to gain Nanmen Ruoxuan's trust, promising not to reveal her secret as a cultivator of the Ghost Path, she changed the subject, "Is there some secret that can only be covered up by killing someone? Does your brother also know this secret? So you don't want him to live? But as far as I know, aren't you two siblings very close?"
Nanmen Ruoxuan's emotions indeed wavered slightly. Bai Yao seized the opportunity and struck with all her might, sending Nanmen Ruoxuan flying. She flew back into the sky and looked coldly at the crowd below, "Since you insist on courting death, then become nourishment for my Snow Cold Blade Sect's Divine Blade Formation!"
In mid-air, Nanmen Ruoxuan wielded the Mountain-Shaking Blade in a grand and sweeping motion, resembling an ancient sacrificial dance. The dance was both holy and eerie. Just by looking at the starting stance, Nangong Ling'er realized that something was wrong. She made up her mind and turned back into her room.
At this moment, perhaps influenced by the power of the great formation, Nanmen Yihen awoke once again and began to rage wildly, trying to break free from the cage that imprisoned him. Nangong Ling'er's expression changed, and she made a decision after only a moment's thought.
"Yao'er, no matter what happens outside, guard the gate and don't let anyone in! Also! Don't worry about what Nanmen Ruoxuan is doing, protect yourself!"
Bai Yao nodded, but at this moment the surrounding array began to change, and the baleful aura became more and more intense. This baleful aura was most likely to bewitch the mind, arouse the evil in people's hearts, and easily make people violent and cruel.
With Bai Yao's current cultivation level, there was no problem. However, the Blood Lotus Sect disciples were gradually affected. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and took out a Tranquilizing Lamp that her master had once given her. This item was originally for the Soul-Soothing Priest, but Bai Yao, with a try-it-out mentality, infused it with her demonic power.
Unexpectedly, a protective circle that could resist the evil energy actually formed around them. However, the people outside were not so lucky. They were gradually affected by the evil energy, started arguing and fighting, and finally came to blows.
Nangong Ling'er, who was in the room, did not pay attention to the commotion outside. After using her methods to make Nanmen Yihen fall into a deep sleep, she placed him next to Xiao Yuhan on the bed. She hesitated for a moment. If she used her ghostly methods at the cost of consuming her heart's blood, perhaps she could wake up Nanmen Yihen immediately and resolve the chaos here.
But if I were to treat my senior brother, although I wasn't sure I could wake him up, I thought I could at least improve his condition.
But no matter what choice she made, she would not be able to fight with anyone for a long time to come. Nangong Ling'er turned her head and looked at the knife wound on her shoulder left by Nanmen Ruoxuan, and immediately made a decision.
Indeed, if she chose to use her own cultivation to heal her senior brother, he might recover, but it wouldn't solve the current crisis. She didn't know what Nanmen Ruoxuan was planning to do, nor what methods that woman could use, but judging from the current situation, it was likely to cause another disaster.
The best solution is still to awaken Nanmen Yihen, but... can Nanmen Yihen be trusted? What if he's on his sister's side?
Unable to ascertain the outcome, Nangong Ling'er made her choice immediately. This wasn't impulsive; it was a decision to trust Nanmen Yihen's character. However, before taking action, she didn't forget to call out to the door, "Yao'er! If anything happens, go with your senior brothers and sisters to send Senior Brother Xiao back to the Heavenly Sword Sect! Do you understand?!"
