After Severing Her Emotions, the Whole Sect Was Overwhelmed with Grief - Chapter 74:
Chapter 74: This Is the Last Time I’ll Call You Senior Brother—Never Again
A terrifying wave of pressure erupted with Bai Ying’s palm strike.
At that moment, Bai Ying no longer held anything back.
Her aura burst forth like a towering mountain collapsing from the sky, like a roaring tsunami sweeping across the land, making it feel as if one were falling into an endless abyss. The spiritual pressure made even the souls of those present tremble uncontrollably.
“This… is Bai Ying’s aura?”
Everyone on the scene was stunned beyond words.
After a long silence, someone finally shouted, “Impossible! She’s… she’s actually in the late-stage Golden Core Realm!”
“Heavens! No wonder she slaughtered those demonic beasts like they were nothing. I thought she had some secret technique, but it turns out—she’s truly powerful!”
“She went from early Foundation Establishment to late Golden Core in just three days! Even Murong Jin, the top genius, has never done that! How is she this strong?!”
“This isn’t a genius anymore—this is a monster!”
Even Ke Lin’s expression shifted. Could Bai Ying, as Immortal Qin Hua had predicted, really lose to Ruan Xinyou?
Her rate of growth could only be described as terrifying.
While Ke Lin stood stunned, Bai Ying blocked his attack with one hand and, with the other, launched a lightning-fast strike toward Ruan Xinyou.
“You dare?!” Ke Lin roared, his voice like thunder. He quickly gathered immense power in his palm and slammed it toward Bai Ying with all his might.
He had now completely set his heart on killing Bai Ying. A prodigy like her, possessing such terrifying potential and yet turning against their sect—if she was not eliminated early, she would one day grow into an existential threat. She had to die, and quickly.
Ke Lin’s full-force strike came down like a tidal wave, aimed to utterly crush Bai Ying. But what shocked him was that Bai Ying blocked the attack again—effortlessly.
Without pausing, she pressed forward.
Ke Lin was frantic but powerless to stop what was about to happen. He could only watch, wide-eyed, as Bai Ying’s palm struck Ruan Xinyou squarely in the dantian.
CRACK!
A shattering sound rang out.
Blood sprayed from Ruan Xinyou’s mouth as her body fell like a kite with a cut string, crashing heavily to the ground. Her aura vanished instantly, and even her presence became faint.
With that one blow, Bai Ying had completely shattered Ruan Xinyou’s core seed.
The backlash from her core collapsing caused her to drop straight from the False Core Realm to early-stage Foundation Establishment.
Ke Lin was furious. Their sect had poured countless resources and effort into raising Ruan Xinyou—now ruined in an instant by Bai Ying!
But before he could act, the surrounding cultivators shouted at him, “Ruan Xinyou lost! You have to keep your promise—let us go!”
“Yeah! Let us go!”
Their voices were full of hope—but Ke Lin struck one of them down with a single palm, killing him instantly.
Ke Lin had never intended to keep his word. He wanted everyone present to die. And Bai Ying was his top target.
“You wretched thing! You’ll pay a price you can’t afford! I’ll send all of you to hell!” Ke Lin’s fury was uncontrollable as he charged toward Bai Ying. His hand expanded, turning into a massive demonic claw that emitted a terrifying aura and swung at her with deadly force.
He intended to crush Bai Ying’s Golden Core—to destroy her completely.
Everyone’s faces changed. They hated him for breaking the bet, and they were terrified of his power.
But just then, a deep voice echoed across the sky—
“Who dares touch my disciple?”
A figure suddenly appeared in the air, and with it came the overwhelming pressure of the Soul Transformation Realm.
No one knew when, but Xuanyuan Chen had arrived.
Ke Lin’s aggressive aura faltered immediately. He stared in disbelief—this old monster actually dared appear here?!
Any cultivator over the age of twenty was already risking their life in this trial zone. But Xuanyuan Chen was over two thousand years old and still showed up!
Ke Lin didn’t dare gamble. If the order of the laws detected Xuanyuan Chen, would it act first—or would Xuanyuan Chen kill him first?
“Retreat!” Ke Lin shouted. He grabbed Ruan Xinyou and fled at full speed.
But by fleeing now, he lost the chance to kill everyone here. And once they escaped, Ruan Xinyou’s disgraceful actions would spread everywhere.
Ke Lin was furious, but he had no choice.
He left so quickly that he didn’t even take the rest of the Radiant Sun Sect’s disciples, leaving Su Yin and Qin Zijin behind.
Bai Ying immediately ran to Xuanyuan Chen. “Master!”
“Good. Good child,” Xuanyuan Chen said as he gently patted her head—then vanished again, likely hiding his presence to avoid detection by the laws of order.
Bai Ying quickly looked to Wang Qi. He gave her a “shh” gesture with a finger.
She couldn’t help but smile. She immediately understood—it was Wang Qi’s illusion technique.
Unlike Radiant Sun Sect, Celestial Peak Sect had special secret arts for illusion cultivation. Clearly, Wang Qi had practiced well.
Even she had been fooled—and she had been trained in how to dispel illusions.
But she still didn’t know how he managed to mimic that level of pressure…
Bai Ying felt deeply moved.
In truth, she dared to attack Ruan Xinyou because she was confident she could defeat Ke Lin.
But Wang Qi didn’t know that. He had gone out of his way to protect her anyway.
Now that the crisis had passed, Wang Qi quickly turned to everyone and said, “Disperse! Don’t stay here!”
The cultivators rushed to leave—they couldn’t wait to escape this place.
Only Su Yu and Qin Zijin remained.
Su Yu walked up to Bai Ying. “Bai Ying, I want to ask you something.”
Wang Qi, worried that Ke Lin might come back, immediately stepped forward. “What’s there to ask? My Junior Sister Bai has already left the Radiant Sun Sect. She has nothing to do with you anymore. From now on, not even strangers. Don’t speak to her again!”
Saying that, he pulled Bai Ying to leave with him.
Su Yu’s face turned pale. He stared at Bai Ying’s back and suddenly shouted—
“Fifth Junior Sister! Back in the sect… were there many times like today? Was it really not your fault? Was it Ruan Xinyou who kept framing you?”
Bai Ying’s footsteps halted.
She didn’t look back but said clearly—
“Senior Brother, do you really not know the answer? I don’t believe you were fooled every single time. You just didn’t want to admit that your pure, innocent Little Junior Sister was a hypocrite and a liar.”
She paused for a moment, then added—
“This is the last time I’ll call you Senior Brother. From now on, never again.”

I knew a bet wouldn’t stop that Ke guy. Having them any of them leave alive would cause problems.
I bet RX’s master will ruin another sect disciple to heal her…😤
