All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Xin Zhi was somewhat angry. "Junior sister, I will not agree to you doing this unless you have solid evidence. You are harming your fellow disciples."

Feng Ning chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, he won't die. He's already dead, dead beyond any doubt, so how could he die again?"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"Aren't I going to prove it to you now? Isn't it all because of you people who are stopping me and refusing to believe me no matter what?"

For a moment, no one spoke.

This matter is like a dead end, with no one willing to back down.

The person inside the formation was already pacing anxiously in circles.

He said anxiously, "Junior sister, please stop being so willful. I am who I am, how could I be someone else? Besides, who else would know about this black smoke or anything? You're framing me."

"That's right, release him quickly."

Hearing him say that, Xue Feng and Lin Tanyu stepped forward and looked at Teng Rou very seriously, replying, "Senior Sister, we swear on our lives that we did indeed see that black smoke."

“The three of you are clearly in cahoots. How can your testimony be trusted?”

Xue Feng was furious. "Believe it or not, I don't care. Anyway, when he comes out to kill someone, he won't be able to kill me. Why should I worry about it!"

He turned around, grabbed the two of them, and pulled them back. "You two come with me. Don't worry about them anymore. If they want to die, let them die on their own. Let's go."

After hearing their questions, Feng Ning really didn't want to get involved anymore.

You can't reason with a damned ghost. Look at how resistant they are to her, as if she's about to do something outrageous.

Since they don't believe it, we'll just have to wait and see.

If enough people are waiting to die, they will eventually believe it.

Of course, whoever defends the most fiercely and is closest to him will die the fastest.

She will not interfere with other people's destiny.

She smiled slightly and looked over there. "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, I'll give you one last piece of advice. If you see this black smoke while killing demonic beasts or spiritual plants, check the people around you as soon as possible. This thing is clever and might be hiding among you."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Then, Lin Tanyu, Xue Feng, and Yao Feibai followed suit.

The others hesitated for a long time, but ultimately couldn't move their feet.

Zhang Gonghou glanced at Teng Rou, and seeing that she didn't react, he followed her.

He didn't know which side was telling the truth, but he trusted his intuition; Feng Ning was no ordinary person.

He intuitively felt that Feng Ning was right, so he wanted to give it a try. Even if he was wrong, there wouldn't be any loss, right?

As the five of them left, the others looked at each other, but none of them left.

Many people were cursing and swearing, sounding very indignant.

Those trapped inside panicked.

"She's gone, who's going to let me out? Stop her!"

He tried to attack the formation, but it remained completely unresponsive.

In the end, Cui Hao, the chief disciple of the Formation Peak, came out, broke the formation, and released the person.

After that, it didn't cause much of a commotion, and everyone remained gathered together, waiting for the secret realm to open.

The moment Feng Ning left, she removed the array from her identity token.

They'll be leaving the secret realm soon, so this formation won't be of much use anymore.

Moreover, knowing that there were demons among those people, she didn't want them to know her location.

So the formation was dispelled after she left.

After the others learned that she had removed the formation, they launched into another round of cursing and swearing.

However, it didn't cause much of a stir, since most people still have their own brains.

Since they distrust people so much, she naturally has no obligation to help them anymore.

Besides, the secret realm is about to open, and it would be rather impolite to be able to see other people's locations.

After Feng Ning and the others left, Xue Feng finally voiced his doubts.

"Feng Ning, aren't we going a bit too far? Are we really not concerned about their lives?"

Lin Tanyu felt a little reluctant, but quickly changed her expression.

He said coldly, "It's not excessive! We've already told them what happened, but they don't believe us and won't even let us prove it. We've done more than enough."

Yao Feibai patted Xue Feng on the shoulder, "Don't worry, everyone has their own destiny. This is their own choice. If you interfere too much, you will only get too involved in the karma."

Xue Feng slumped his shoulders. "I just feel a little sorry. Those are all our fellow disciples. Many of them came in the same batch as me..."

Zhang Gonghou, who stood silently to the side, simply listened to their conversation without interrupting.

Hearing Xue Feng's words, the group was not in a good mood. They said they didn't want to get involved, but they were still a little upset.

They knew the enemy was among those people, but they couldn't find him.

Even though they knew there were bad people around, their fellow disciples refused to believe them.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

It makes you feel like you're sitting on pins and needles, yet you feel helpless.

Seeing their sad expressions, Feng Ning laughed out loud, "Alright, don't be sad. I was just saying it. How could I really ignore them? Even if I don't care about them, I can't ignore Senior Sister Teng Rou, can I? She has always been very good to us."

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me."

Everyone was startled by the sound, and when they turned around, they saw a figure appear in front of them.

The person who arrived was Teng Rou.

Lin Tanyu's eyes lit up instantly. "Senior sister, you've joined us too? You believe in us, right?"

Teng Rou shook her head. "I don't plan to go with you, but I trust you."

Lin Tanyu felt a little upset. "Why? You trusted us, so you should have known there were bad people inside. Why wouldn't you come with us?"

Teng Rou replied, "Because I am the senior sister."

Everyone looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

However, she didn't say anything more, and then there was a long silence.

Feng Ning sighed and asked, "Senior Sister, just ask whatever you want to know. We'll tell you everything we know."

Teng Rou's eyes softened. "I want to know what you mean by the black smoke, and everything else you know."

Feng Ning nodded and began to recount what had happened back then.

"When we first encountered the swamp, a very ugly flower jumped out of it. Let's call it the man-eating flower for now. It was impossible to fly over the swamp where it was located. Xue Feng almost fell in when he passed by, and that's when he realized something was wrong."
