Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

Xie Wanning suddenly woke up and saw a scene in the distance:

The silver python suddenly stood up and summoned countless vines. These vines wrapped around the corpses of cultivators and spirit beasts on the ground and quickly threw them into the silver python's mouth. The silver python swallowed them without the slightest hesitation.

Everything happened too fast. It was as if the silver python had planned it all along. The vines appeared among the group of wounded people resting at the back of the crowd. These disciples were seriously injured and unable to escape the silver python's capture. They could only struggle helplessly and finally fell into the silver python's belly.

"Ah! I'll kill you!" A frantic scream rang out as the other disciples drew their weapons and attacked the silver python. Their faces were flushed, their eyes blazing with murderous intent, and veins bulged on their foreheads. Every move they made was executed with full force. They were no longer afraid; they were consumed by a mad rage for revenge.

Among the disciples swallowed by the silver python were their friends, relatives, and even lovers. They fought desperately and refused to back down in front of the python so that the injured disciples behind them could survive.

But in that instant, all their efforts were in vain; the people they were trying to protect were all devoured by the silver python.

As Xie Wan Ning listened to the sounds of battle around her and watched the disciples in front of her, who, despite having their skin torn and bodies pierced by the silver python, did not back down, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

She had clearly severely injured the silver python with heavenly lightning, and the silver python was barely able to move, so why was it still the same as in her previous life, where the silver python would devour the injured disciples and then mercilessly slaughter the remaining ones?

Suddenly, Xie Wanning saw a flash of crimson in the silver python's eyes!

Oh no! This is the Silver Python forcibly using its primordial power to fight. And it must have eaten so many spirit beasts and cultivators just now in order to break through!

Xie Wanning turned pale with fright. Just as she was about to warn the attacking disciples, a whole row of dark clouds appeared, a strong wind howled like wolves, and a thunderous roar struck the silver python!

This is... heavenly lightning!

The Silver Python is about to undergo tribulation from the sixth rank to the seventh rank!

The disciples around the silver python were affected by the giant lightning. They were already injured and could not withstand the heavenly lightning of the Golden Core stage. They were charred black by the lightning and fell heavily to the ground from the sky, without any chance of survival.

"Boom!" The lightning struck the silver python mercilessly, and everyone could hear its painful cries, but no one stepped forward.

They were only at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages; who would dare to face the heavenly lightning of the Golden Core stage? No one could stop the silver python from undergoing its tribulation.

Xie Wanning collapsed to the ground, her gaze fixed on the exit of the secret realm, desperately hoping that Yan Ze would come to save them.

Everything has changed. In her previous life, the Silver Python never underwent tribulation, and there were not so many disciples who were injured or killed. Yan Ze forcibly broke through the secret realm before the exit opened to save her.

But why did things change this time? Was it because of her change?

She did not follow the main group, she did not forcibly teleport the other disciples out, and she did not fight alone.

With a heavy heart, Song Huai'an forced himself to cheer up and organized the remaining people. They arrived at the exit of the secret realm. In less than half an hour, they would be able to leave.

Everyone wore expressions of grief, completely devoid of the joy and curiosity they had shown upon entering the secret realm. They were all saddened by the departure of their companion.

"Senior Sister, have some water!" Jiang Ci handed the gourd to Xie Wanning. He noticed that Xie Wanning had been in a daze since earlier, her eyes filled with confusion and self-blame, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her lips slightly pursed, her figure dazed. Jiang Ci was very worried about his senior sister's state. He believed that she was placing all the blame on him.

Xie Wanning, however, was filled with fear. She believed she could stop the silver python's slaughter and change the tragedy of her past life, so she kept changing herself: leaving the group, searching for the Crimson Flame Bird, forcibly breaking through her limits—all in an attempt to alter the misfortune of her past life. But things spiraled out of her control, returning to a similar trajectory to her previous existence: the silver python escaped, slaughtered disciples, and even worse than before; Yan Ze did not come to their rescue. Why was this happening?

The silver python's tribulation will pass. If the silver python successfully transcends the tribulation and becomes a seventh-tier spirit beast, then they will all die. Must they, like in their previous life, use a fifth-grade teleportation talisman to send the remaining disciples out, leaving her alone to block the silver python?

"Senior Sister..." Jiang Ci saw that Xie Wan Ning did not reply and was about to comfort her, but was bumped aside by Ye Qian Qian who rushed over.

Ye Qianqian's eyes were red, tears clinging to her eyelashes, her cheeks streaked with tears. Her gaze was filled with resentment and anger as she roared at Xie Wanning in a questioning tone, "Senior Sister, give me back Senior Sister Yun and Senior Brother Wen! If you hadn't released the Silver Python, so many disciples wouldn't have been injured, Senior Sister Yun wouldn't have been captured by the Silver Python while healing the disciples, and Senior Brother Wen wouldn't have been struck by lightning and killed while fighting the Silver Python!" Ye Qianqian gripped Xie Wanning's hands tightly, ignoring her own torn wounds, her face flushed, "Senior Sister, can't you control the heavenly lightning? Can't you defeat the Silver Python? Why didn't you help when our senior brothers and sisters were captured? Why!"

After Ye Qianqian finished denouncing Xie Wanning's "crimes" with all her might, she squatted on the ground and wailed, crying for the deaths of Yun Qing and Wen Liao, and for the deaths of so many senior brothers and sisters, venting her grief.

Ye Qianqian's loud voice attracted the attention of the other disciples. After listening to her sobbing and seeing the bloodstains on her body, they instantly recalled the miserable state and words Ye Qianqian had spoken when she first returned to the team.

Originally, everyone only believed Xie Wanning's release of the silver python to a certain extent. However, after witnessing their relatives and friends being swallowed by the silver python and being separated from their loved ones by death, the disciples deeply sympathized with Ye Qianqian and became more convinced that it was Xie Wanning who broke the seal and released the silver python, leading to the current tragic situation.

Suspicious, resentful, and disgusted glances were shot at Xie Wanning like poison needles. The disciples surrounded Xie Wanning, unable to help but accuse her:

"Senior Sister, why did you release the Silver Python for your own selfish reasons?"

"Senior Sister Xie, do you really want the treasure that badly? You're willing to harm Junior Sister Ye. Do you even care about the rules of the Qingyun Sect?"

"Xie Wanning, if you hadn't released the silver python, my sister wouldn't have died. I'm going to kill you!"

A disciple charged at Xie Wanning with a sword, startling the surrounding disciples who scattered in fear. In an instant, the sword tip was about to pierce Xie Wanning's chest.

Xie Wanning summoned an ice wall to block the sword that was about to pierce her chest. She sneered and explained, "Release the silver python? Want the treasure? You still only listen to Junior Sister's side of the story as always. You say I broke the seal, but I'm not a formation cultivator, how could I break a seal? And the treasure? I've never seen any treasure. If you're so capable, produce key evidence to prove I really did it, otherwise stop spouting nonsense." Xie Wanning sighed, "I am very sorry for the deaths of my junior brothers and sisters. However, I hope everyone can calm down. The truth is never just one person's story."

Xie Wanning knew that all of this was orchestrated by Ye Qianqian, who fabricated a baseless accusation against her to mislead others. Although Xie Wanning had indeed not done it, that was one thing; how to explain it to the other disciples and whether they would believe her was another matter entirely.

"Silver Python, it..." a disciple cried out in panic, but was too frightened to finish his sentence. Following his gaze, we looked in the direction he was looking.

Xie Wanning raised an eyebrow.

Another big problem!
