What-if Storyline (4)

Bai Ji easily broke through the array at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the damaged array, he couldn't help but chuckle, "With such mediocre skills, you think you can stop us? How laughable."

"In that case, Sang Ying's cultivation level is even more questionable." Luo Jin also looked down on such a fragile formation. Let alone the few of them, it probably couldn't even stop a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

After another discussion, the group charged up Settled Frost Peak, breaking through countless formations set up by Sang Ying.

Although these formations were merely for show, Sang Ying was still angered by these people's unbridled actions.

Although Bai Ji and the others could deceive ordinary disciples, they could not escape the eyes of the sect master and elders of the Flowing Light Sword Sect.

The sect leader did not intervene, and he also pretended not to see the other elders, allowing these outsiders to barge into Settled Frost Peak.

As for Gu Huaiwei, the only one who might take charge, he had already been coaxed into seclusion by Su Fuyun after Sang Ying finished her tribulation.

It just so happens that Elder Yanhua is currently away and has not yet returned, and all those in the sect who could uphold justice for Sang Ying are gone. What will become of this female cultivator depends on her own fate!

The sect leader silently closed his eyes and continued meditating.

Meanwhile, Bai Ji and the others had already reached the summit of Settled Frost Peak.

Unlike other peaks, Settled Frost Peak was developed by Sang Zheng and his wife through their own abilities. Even the Spirit Vein within the peak were brought back from outside by the couple with great difficulty in order to make their daughter's cultivation smoother.

They truly treated Settled Frost Peak as their own home, so the palaces within Settled Frost Peak were not as luxurious as those on other peaks, but rather exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Upon seeing this scene, the destructive urges within the young people were immediately aroused.

"These palaces are so well protected, Sang Ying must care a lot about them. Why don't we destroy this place? That way, we won't even have to look for her; Sang Ying will surely come to us willingly," Gong Cheng'an suggested.

He had known Su Fuyun longer than any of them, so he naturally knew how much Su Fuyun had suffered and endured because of this junior sister.

They also knew more clearly about how Sang Ying, who was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, suddenly went berserk and tried to draw her sword to stab Su Fuyun when there were few people in the secret realm.

It is said that it was because Sang Ying refused to apologize and remained unrepentant that she severed her master-disciple relationship with Immortal Venerable Yanchen and went into seclusion on Settled Frost Peak.

Several men had long wanted to teach Sang Ying a lesson, but they couldn't do so because of the obstruction of Immortal Venerable Yanchen and Su Fuyun.

Now that they had finally found a suitable excuse, the group naturally wanted to teach Sang Ying a lesson.

The suggestion was quickly approved by everyone, and Gong Cheng'an even took out his Law Artifact and struck down at the largest palace in front of him.

He used almost all his strength in this move; even if he couldn't completely destroy the palace, he could at least cause it to collapse by more than half.

Several people watched intently as Gong Cheng'an made his move, all anticipating the moment the palace would collapse.

To their surprise, Gong Cheng'an's Spiritual Power was blocked mid-air as it struck the palace. An invisible barrier not only blocked the Spiritual Power but also sent it crashing back at double the Spiritual Power.

Caught off guard, they were actually hit squarely by this Spiritual Power!

Fortunately, all of them were quite skilled, and even after taking this double blow, they were not seriously injured. Of course, Gong Cheng'an was the most seriously injured, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Bai Ji rarely got injured, and had never been beaten like this before. He was furious and was about to transform into his beast form to destroy the entire Settled Frost Peak without any regard for the consequences.

A strand of icy blue Spiritual Power transformed into a thin rope, which suddenly wrapped around the group. Bai Ji's surging power instantly subsided, and she remained motionless.

Luo Jin, the one with the highest cultivation level, tried to struggle, but the rope tightened the more he struggled, and it looked as if the icy blue Spiritual Power was about to dig into his flesh. Luo Jin finally spoke, "Is Daoist Sang Ying here? Is this how you treat a guest from afar? I'm afraid it undermines the hospitality of Settled Frost Peak."

Soon, a clear and pleasant voice rang out. "Not only did you not send a visiting card, but you also broke in at night and destroyed the dozen or so layers of formations that the host had painstakingly set up. Is this not the way to be a guest?"

The Ice Spiritual Power suddenly swept in all directions, and by the time Luo Jin and the others reacted, most of Settled Frost Peak was frozen solid.

This was the first time Luo Jin and his companions had faced such ferocious Ice Spiritual Power. The cold penetrated their clothes and seeped into their very bones.

In the soft, shimmering light of the orchid, a figure slowly walked forward. Suddenly, she raised her hand, and the Spiritual Power ropes binding the group tightened violently, causing tears to well up in their eyes instantly.

Unlike Luo Jin, who was pragmatic, Gong Cheng'an and Bai Ji, who had never been bullied before, started cursing as soon as they saw her. "You audacious female cultivator, do you know who we are? How dare you tie us up like this! Untie us right now, or the Gong Household will definitely not let you off!"

"If you don't let go of me and kneel down to apologize, the millions of Demon Beast of the Cloud Mulberry Realm will surely raze your Settled Frost Peak to the ground!"

Sang Ying didn't speak, but increased the force again. This time, the Spiritual Power ropes dug completely into their flesh, and some of the lower-level cultivators even had a layer of ice forming on their bodies.

"I could have let you go, but what you just said angered me, and I think I should teach you a lesson." Sang Ying curled her lips slightly, and with a flick of her fingers, the Spiritual Power ropes tightened around the wrists of Luo Jin and the other Human Race.

Luo Jin could even feel the sensation of his tendons being severed, which made him unable to hold back his tears.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me go. These plans were all come from Gong Cheng'an and Bai Ji. I didn't want to come here, they forced me to. Don't kill me, kill them instead!" Liu Yuzhi screamed and begged for mercy.

The jade flute in his hand had rolled to the ground, stained with his blood.

Liu Yuzhi knew very well that if he didn't apologize, the female cultivator in front of him would really cut off his hands completely, and then he could forget about being a sound cultivator for the rest of his life!

Liu Yuzhi's words made Gong Cheng'an and Bai Ji feel betrayed. Bai Ji even went so far as to try to break free of the Spiritual Qi ropes and kill this good-for-nothing Liu Yuzhi!

Seeing this, Sang Ying was finally satisfied. She moved her hands and tied the Spiritual Qi ropes to the hands and feet of the group.

Bai Ji tried to take the opportunity to attack her, but the next second she collapsed to the ground in pain.

The others also tried to destroy the Spiritual Power ropes, but Sang Ying's Spiritual Power was not so easily broken.

"I know you want to leave, and I can give you a chance. However, only one of you can leave unharmed..."
