I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

"Yeah?"

Ning Ruan tilted her head, the smile on her lips unchanged, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

"Then you can only go and die."

She helplessly shrugged:

"I've already given you the opportunity, but you didn't want it. What can I do?"

The moment the words left his mouth, a corner of the scroll in his hand was slightly unfurled.

"and many more!"

A Spiritwood Clan cultivator suddenly stepped forward, his voice shrill: "I'll talk! I'll talk!"

He pointed to another cultivator beside him, speaking rapidly: "Three months ago, he ambushed a caravan, not only stealing the goods but also kidnapping and selling all the talented cultivators in the caravan!"

"Bullshit!" The cultivator who was suddenly called out turned ashen-faced and instantly flew into a rage. "You're talking nonsense! You were clearly the one who did it with me!"

“I just went along, you were the one who did the dirty work!” The Spiritwood Clan cultivator retorted without backing down. “And you even killed the caravan leader’s only son. That child was only three years old. You not only killed him, but you also dug out his spiritual veins and dantian. Don’t think I don’t know, you secretly ate them yourself, didn’t you?”

"you wanna die!"

With a furious shout, the already enraged cultivator slammed his palm towards the Spiritwood Clan cultivator.

The latter was not one to be trifled with either, and immediately retaliated.

But the two ultimately did not fight.

Because in the next instant, the cultivator who broke through the defenses first and tried to make a move was taken into the painting by Ning Ruan.

...She didn't even unroll the scroll.

The Boundless Bandits, who had initially thought the scroll could only be used when it was unfurled, were immediately filled with despair.

In that case, wouldn't the other side be able to take them all in with just a thought?

They had no chance to resist.

"Now is the time to talk, not to fight."

Ning Ruan slowly stood up, looking down at the group of Wuyin Bandits below: "Anyone who dares to make a move again will be brought in as well."

"Does anyone else want to make a move?"

There was a deathly silence on the deck.

The heavy breathing could be clearly heard.

Even the Spiritwood Clan cultivator who was the first to stand up and expose the accusation was now trembling and shrinking into the crowd, trying his best to minimize his presence.

“Since no one is making a move, let’s continue.” Ning Ruan sat down again and said leisurely, “What the person just said was very good; the more you talk, the more likely you are to survive.”

"This is a rare opportunity, you should seize it!"

Her tone was gentle, as if she were coaxing someone.

But to this group of boundless bandits, it was even more terrifying than a demon demanding a life.

After a short silence.

Among the crowd, a cultivator huddled in a corner suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the Blood Bat Clan member not far away, "I know about him."

"Before he was expelled from the Blood Bat Clan, he once wiped out an entire family because of a single pill."

"He didn't even spare the newborn baby, let alone the entire 137-member family!"

"He not only killed them, but also forcibly extracted their souls and refined them."

The Blood Bat Clan cultivator who was identified turned deathly pale: "You...you were involved too, and you even got half the spirit stones!"

"But I didn't kill anyone!"

"If you took the spirit stones, you're an accomplice!"

"Bullshit! You were the one who attacked first, and those were all your people. How can killing them be the same as you killing them?"

The two started arguing, and their voices grew louder and louder.

Ning Ruan rested her chin on her hand, watching the farce with great interest.

With the first two people taking the lead, the other cultivators couldn't sit still any longer.

They're all desperate criminals anyway; who hasn't had blood on their hands?

Rather than being wiped out in one fell swoop, why not take a gamble? What if you manage to crush others and actually save yourself a chance to survive?

"I know one thing too!"

"Me too! I know even more!"

"What he did back then was truly heinous! Even I couldn't stand it."

"..."

The deck was in complete chaos.

More than twenty bandits from Wuyin accused and attacked each other, initially holding back some of their accusations.

But as the story progressed, it seemed as if he had gotten really angry, and the stories he revealed became increasingly shocking.

The atmosphere was tense, and everyone wanted nothing more than to rush over and tear their companions to shreds.

Ning Ruan sat quietly on top of the spirit boat, her legs swinging leisurely as if watching an absurd farce.

I do not know how long it has been.

When the voices of revelation dwindled and the crowd grew red-faced and breathless, looking as if they were about to come to blows, she finally spoke: "Alright, that's enough."

If this continues, things like who stole whom will all be exposed.

Ning Ruan slowly stood up and clapped her hands, as if she were applauding.

"Wonderful, really wonderful."

All sounds below abruptly ceased.

More than twenty pairs of eyes turned to the girl on top of the spirit boat.

Ning Ruan tapped the scroll in her hand lightly, her voice calm: "It seems you have indeed done a lot of good things."

The word "good" was pronounced with extra emphasis.

Anyone could tell that this wasn't a genuine compliment.

"..."

No one dared to answer; only heavy, suppressed breathing rose and fell.

But in the next moment.

The scroll in Ning Ruan's hand trembled slightly.

An irresistible and terrifying suction force instantly enveloped the entire deck.

"No!"

"Ning Ruan, you said you would let us go."

“You clearly said that as long as we expose those things, you will let us go.”

"I clearly exposed the most, how could you lay a hand on me?"

The bandits screamed in terror, desperately resisting the suction force.

However, everything is in vain.

Even Nascent Soul Realm experts couldn't withstand the scroll, so naturally they were even more powerless.

Within two breaths, seven or eight people were sucked in at once.

Only a dozen or so cultivators remained, their faces pale, ready to flee at any moment.

This included the Golden Core cultivator.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Ning Ruan, "You clearly said you would let us go."

Ning Ruan touched the scroll in her hand and nodded slowly, "Yes, that's why we didn't let you in."

"..." The Golden Core cultivator wasn't buying it. "Then what about them..."

"Senior, don't you know why I had you expose each other's crimes?"

Ning Ruan looked at everyone with amusement, "You all probably already know, right? Otherwise, why would you be so resistant to others revealing your secrets?"

"Isn't it just that the more things they know that are exposed, the easier it is for me to kill them?"

"Now that you know all this, isn't it a bit late to show your willingness to protect your comrades?"

"..."

The dozen or so remaining bandits on the deck trembled, unable to utter a single word.

They certainly knew Ning Ruan's purpose.

Known it from the beginning.

Ning Ruan's only intention was to incite them to fight each other and betray their comrades.

The companion who commits the most evil deeds is destined to die.

Even knowing that they had no choice but to do it in order to survive, they did it anyway.

In particular, while they are certainly not good people, they have never done anything so heinous.

If I don't tell the truth at a time like this, am I supposed to die with those heinous criminals?

They don't want to!

The Golden Core cultivator's voice trembled, "So, you don't intend to let us go either?"

"If you're planning to attack me now, I advise you to think carefully."

Ning Ruan glanced at the other party, then flew down from the top of the spirit boat, her eyes narrowing slightly, "As for you..."

She paused, then a smile curved her lips: "Congratulations, you've survived for now."
