Fallen, Wu Yuexin

Baili Hongzhuang and her group continued forward, and as their speed slowed down, the distance between them and the other practitioners grew larger.

Eventually, they were the only team left on this path.

However, Baili Hongzhuang and the others didn't feel anything amiss. On the contrary, in this empty forest, where there was no danger, it was quite a pleasant experience for them.

"Finally, we've dealt with the troublemaker, Han Xiling. Just the thought of it puts me in such a good mood!" Xia Zhiqing's face couldn't hide her excitement. Han Xiling had been so arrogant in front of them, constantly causing trouble even within the Tiangang Sect.

Han Xiling probably never imagined that she would meet her end at their hands!

"The Elder arranged for Han Xiling to participate in the assessment competition, probably intending to use this opportunity to get rid of me. I wonder how satisfied the Elder would be to learn that his granddaughter died in the assessment competition," Baili Hongzhuang said with a smirk. Han Xiling hadn't originally intended to participate in the assessment competition but suddenly changed her mind.

Upon careful consideration, one could deduce the reasons behind it. The Elder must have been protecting his granddaughter at every turn.

And there must be a reason why Wu Yuexin and the others firmly stood by Han Xiling's side.

However, the Elder could never have imagined that Han Xiling would perish in the Small World.

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words, a playful smile appeared on Dongfang Yu and the others' faces.

"That old man doesn't look like a good person. Now that his plan has failed, I bet he'll be devastated," Xia Zhiqing said with a triumphant smile. She despised the Elder for knowingly helping Han Xiling by any means necessary to obtain all of this.

She was well aware of the deep bond between the Boss and Di Beichen.

Unfortunately, some people just refused to see the truth and caused so much trouble.

"Hongzhuang, the fact that Han Xiling died in the Small World will surely be blamed on you by the Elder. Even without evidence, he will hate you to the core. You must be extra cautious," Gong Shaoqing's eyes flickered with wisdom and seriousness. As far as he knew, the Elder only had one granddaughter, Han Xiling, and he had showered her with extreme affection over the years.

Once Han Xiling died, the Elder would undoubtedly become paranoid and blame Baili Hongzhuang for all the problems.

With the Elder's power within the Tiangang Sect, it was likely that trouble would arise...

Even if Di Beichen protected Baili Hongzhuang, no one knew what unspeakable means the Elder would resort to.

Just from the fact that the Elder arranged for Han Xiling to participate in the assessment competition to gain insight into Baili Hongzhuang, one could see how dark the Elder's intentions were.

Upon hearing this, a slight heaviness fell upon Xia Zhiqing and the others. Having such an enemy was undoubtedly troublesome.

Baili Hongzhuang nodded gently, her beautiful and calm face exuding indifference and composure. "I will be extra cautious."

At this moment, Yuan Xiaoman suddenly remembered something and said, "We haven't seen Wu Yuexin at all!"

After Mo Yunjue had crippled Wu Yuexin's cultivation earlier, they hadn't paid attention to her during their subsequent fights.

A deeper smile appeared on Dongfang Yu's face. "Wu Yuexin perished in the center of the energy when Hongzhuang and Han Xiling were fighting each other."
