Watching his reluctant disciples crush their jade tablets as they left, Tianning was utterly speechless at the dozen or so coffins beside him.
If the team competition rules allowed bringing their master along, they might be so rebellious as to try and squeeze in with him...
Those who were meant to leave have left, and those who shouldn't have left are in their coffins.
The massacre by the Xuanyuan Ancestor was nearing its end, and the entire Floating Life City fell into silence. Amidst the corpses and greenery, Tian Ning stood alone, his red robes striking, facing the soon-to-be-forged pseudo-demon sword without the slightest hesitation.
Countless tree roots tried to entangle her and devour her, but they spontaneously combusted before they could even touch her.
Ancestor Xuanyuan frowned deeply: "What kind of protective magic artifact are you carrying?"
Such a powerful object could easily be called a divine artifact!
Tianning honestly replied, "It's my father's deep love."
Ancestor Xuanyuan: "..."
What is she talking about?
Tianning sighed: "How could someone like you understand the greatness of family love?"
"I have no need to know about your worthless kinship," Ancestor Xuanyuan sneered. "Today, you and your fellow disciples will all die here!"
As he finished speaking, the Floating Life Tree grew wildly, and demonic energy intertwined with the tree, completely encroaching upon Floating Life City, which was like a crystal ball encased in glass.
Everyone outside the secret realm watched this scene with bated breath.
At first, they could see the demonic energy dissipate after touching Tianning, but more and more demonic energy surged up, engulfing her completely like an avalanche, and the girl and the red-clothed girl were submerged in darkness.
They could not see Tianning; only endless darkness remained.
"I hope Tianning is alright..."
"Don't say discouraging things. Someone as despicable as her wouldn't just die so easily!" The disciple said, but his voice was choked with sobs.
"She'll be fine, so many people are waiting for her to come back..."
"Yes. What does it matter if she can't beat Xuanyuan Hengzhi... as long as she comes back."
...
"Xue'er, what's wrong?"
Long Ye, who had finally managed to escape with Wenren Xue and her disciples in a disheveled state, said with concern.
It's all the fault of the Six Sects for deliberately targeting Xue'er's rules, forcing them to wait until the destruction of Xuanyuan began before they could crush the jade tablet!
Long Ye couldn't see it, but Wenren Xue could see it clearly.
Countless tiny, snowflake-sized specks of light emanated from the disciples, carrying with them their hopes for Tianning.
Wenren Xue subconsciously touched the points of light. She heard: "Tianning, keep going!", "Don't lose to that old beast Xuanyuan!", "I believe that sword mark you left was yours! So please don't get hurt!", "If you come back alive, I'll give you ten thousand talismans!"...
This is their expectation of her, and it reflects the will of the people!
Wenren Xue turned around stiffly, but then froze.
Because she saw more points of light emerging from the audience seats and from the sect leader and elders, like snowflakes fluttering down, surging into the secret realm in large numbers.
"Xue'er?"
Wenren Xue did not respond to Long Ye.
Deep down, her beliefs had begun to waver.
She asked the system, "Is this the charm of a strong female lead?"
"Wasn't she afraid? How could she go to such lengths? Why did she go to such lengths to protect unimportant people?"
The system had already sensed something was wrong with her: "Don't doubt your mission! As the chosen one, protected by the Heavenly Dao, it's only right that she does these things! There's nothing surprising about it..."
Wenren Xue asked blankly, "Then what am I? A thief who steals fortune?"
“If she only enjoys special treatment and does nothing, then she doesn’t deserve it.”
But she witnessed what Tianning did in the secret realm, and then looked back at herself, forever subservient to men.
Suddenly, she seemed like a clown; in this situation, her existence was meaningless and no one cared.
