131: Chapter 131 Nangong Zili?

Bai Qingyi's expression remained calm as she sheathed her sword. Her cold voice rang out across the field:

"Disciples of the Qingshui Sword Sect, hear my command."

"Form the sword formation and advance steadily."

"The grand array is sealed; they cannot escape."

"Leave none alive."

"Yes!"

A unified response thundered back.

Hundreds of Qingshui Sword Sect Disciples drew their swords simultaneously. Streaks of green sword light soared into the sky, weaving together into a massive sword formation that blanketed the entire area!

The sword formation advanced slowly, its sharp Sword Qi slashing toward the fleeing demonic Cultivators like a violent storm.

Suppressed by the grand array, the demonic Cultivators' auras plummeted, leaving them utterly unable to resist.

A False Core stage demonic Cultivator tried his best to break through, only to be surrounded by a group of Foundation Establishment Qingshui Sword Sect Disciples.

"No—!"

Countless sword lights fell at once.

The False Core demonic Cultivator's body was instantly shredded to pieces. He died with his eyes wide open, filled with resentment.

He was a top-tier existence below the Core Formation Stage. Usually, he could walk tall in this region, and even those at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment would steer clear of him.

Yet now, he had died at the hands of a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators he had viewed as ants.

In the outside world, he could have slaughtered these hundred people single-handedly.

But inside this grand array...

"Bai Qingyi—! Qingshui Sword Sect—! Even as a ghost, I will not let you go—!"

His remnant soul let out one last shrill roar before completely dissipating.

Seeing this, the remaining demonic Cultivators were terrified out of their wits and fled even faster.

However, with the grand array sealed, they were nothing more than turtles in a jar.

Bai Qingyi withdrew her gaze and was about to continue commanding the Disciples to purge the demonic Cultivators when suddenly—

Her eyes landed on a figure fleeing rapidly ahead.

It was a Woman in Purple. At this moment, she no longer had any disguise. Strands of purple silk appeared out of thin air, wrapping around her and a petite young girl, lifting them both as they sped into the distance.

The Woman in Purple had a slender and graceful figure. Although her face was not clearly visible, she possessed a naturally mature and charming temperament.

Bai Qingyi's eyes flickered.

She raised her hand and unleashed another burst of Sword Qi!

The Sword Qi was incomparably sharp, aiming straight for the Woman in Purple's back!

Sensing the danger, the Woman in Purple suddenly turned around and waved her sleeve—

Strands of purple silk grew rapidly in the wind, instantly transforming into a barrier several yards wide to block her front!

The Sword Qi struck the silk, producing a harsh grinding sound and a shower of sparks!

The Woman in Purple staggered but still managed to block the strike.

She knew she couldn't escape.

Gritting her teeth, she stopped her flight and turned to face Bai Qingyi.

With a wave of her hand, she summoned a Purple Jade Spider. It was crystal clear, with eight legs as sharp as spears, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

The massive Purple Jade Spider crouched beside her, its eight eyes fixed intently on Bai Qingyi, letting out a low hiss from its mouth.

Bai Qingyi did not rush to attack but instead sized up the Woman in Purple before her.

After a moment, she raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Five Gu Sect, Spider Gu Envoy, Nangong Zili?"

The Woman in Purple—Nangong Zili—sneered, not bothering to deny it.

A trace of complexity flashed through Bai Qingyi's eyes.

Although the Five Gu Sect was a Demonic Path Sect, they had always kept a low profile and rarely participated in the conflicts between the Righteous and Demonic Paths.

And this Spider Gu Envoy, Nangong Zili, was quite famous within the Demonic Path,

yet there were never any reports of her indiscriminately killing the innocent or harming commoners.

Bai Qingyi's tone softened slightly:

"Nangong Zili, though you practice a Demonic Technique, you have no record of evil deeds. Stop resisting, and I can plead with the Sect to spare your life."

Hearing this, Nangong Zili was first stunned, then let out a scoffing laugh.

She looked Bai Qingyi up and down, her eyes full of mockery:

"Oh, little girl, you're not very old, but you certainly talk big."

"Spare my life?"

A mocking smile curled at the corners of her mouth:

"You little bitch of the Righteous Path, drop the act. If you want to fight, then fight. Enough with the nonsense!"

A layer of anger instantly flushed across Bai Qingyi's fair face.

"You—!"

She had kindly offered the other party a way out, yet they were so ungrateful!

"In that case, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Bai Qingyi said no more. Her hands formed seals, and Sword Qi surged violently around her!

In an instant, countless streaks of green Sword Qi shot out from behind her like torrential rain, blanketing the sky as they slashed toward Nangong Zili.

Nangong Zili's expression turned solemn as she changed her hand seals!

The massive Purple Jade Spider suddenly opened its mouth, spitting out clumps of purple spider silk that shimmered with a metallic luster!

The silk wove and tangled in the air, instantly forming a giant spider web that stood before Nangong Zili.

At the same time, her Wash-Purple Silk also expanded rapidly, turning into layers upon layers of purple curtains that firmly protected her and the girl behind her!

The Sword Qi struck the spider web, producing piercing metallic clangs!

The web vibrated violently but managed to withstand this wave of attacks!

However, in the next moment—

The elderly Cultivator maintaining the grand array activated his seals once more!

A pillar of golden light descended from the sky, landing precisely on Nangong Zili!

"Suppress!"

Nangong Zili's body stiffened.

The vast suppressive force instantly enveloped her entire body, and her aura drained away like a river bursting its banks!

The Purple Jade Spider beneath her also saw its aura plummet, and its incredibly tough spider silk lost its former power.

Seeing this, Bai Qingyi raised her hand and unleashed another strike of Sword Qi!

This strike was even sharper than the last!

Nangong Zili's pupils constricted.

She desperately channeled the Wash-Purple Silk to defend, but the Sword Qi was too sharp; it tore straight through the layers of curtains and aimed for her face!

At that critical moment—

A figure sped over like a shooting star, instantly blocking the way in front of Nangong Zili!

It was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a deep aura—he was surprisingly also a Core Formation Cultivator!

His hands formed seals, and a massive black shield appeared out of thin air to block the front!

Boom!

The Sword Qi struck the shield, producing a deafening roar!

The shield trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its surface, but it still managed to block the strike.

A trace of blood leaked from the middle-aged man's mouth, but he didn't have time to wipe it. He turned his head and shouted urgently:

"Junior Sister Zili, go!"

When Nangong Zili saw who it was, her beautiful eyes furrowed slightly.

Behind Nangong Zili, Ling Xiaotang recognized the person, her eyes wide with surprise.

Wasn't this the Junior Martial Uncle Qin who was constantly scolded by her Revered Master as a 'toad wanting to eat swan meat'?

He was one of her Revered Master's countless pursuers within the Sect.

What was he doing here?

Nangong Zili opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

"Go!"

Qin Mo urged again urgently, while his hands continued to form seals, manifesting one defensive Magical Artifact after another to desperately block Bai Qingyi's attacks.

Nangong Zili did not hesitate any longer.

She turned abruptly, the Wash-Purple Silk wrapping around Ling Xiaotang as they transformed into a purple light, speeding into the distance!

"Thinking of running?"

Bai Qingyi snorted coldly. she didn't give chase; the grand array had already locked down the area, and not a single person would escape!
