After witnessing Mo Yunjue's remarkable resilience, everyone couldn't help but admire him. Just by looking at the scars on his body, Mo Yunjue had become a tough and fearless figure in their hearts.
Baili Hongzhuang examined the wounds on Mo Yunjue's back and saw that it was covered in fresh blood, likely leaving another deep scar. Fortunately, Mo Yunjue had protected himself with his spiritual power, so the injuries weren't fatal.
However, such severe wounds would still require a significant amount of time to fully recover.
"Thank you," Baili Hongzhuang gazed at Mo Yunjue with sincerity and gratitude filling her clear eyes.
Mo Yunjue chuckled lightly. "You saved my life back then, and now I've saved yours. There's no need for you to worry."
Seeing Mo Yunjue's nonchalant expression, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but feel moved. It wasn't the first time he had said those words to her. If they were to truly count, she had saved him initially by revealing Bai Shi's identity, and he had helped her several times since then—the time she was attacked by assassins, the conflict in the Qingxiao Country restaurant, and now, once again, he had come to her aid. She had long felt indebted to Mo Yunjue.
However, Baili Hongzhuang chose not to verbalize all of this. Instead, she quickly began tending to Mo Yunjue's wounds. If they weren't properly treated and bandaged now, it could worsen and lead to complications.
While Baili Hongzhuang and the others were concerned about Mo Yunjue's injuries, the practitioners from Han Xilin's team had also found Han Xilin. Unfortunately, what they found was his lifeless body.
No matter how hard they tried to call out to him, Han Xilin remained motionless, having ceased to breathe.
Cen Yangbing stared at Baili Hongzhuang in disbelief. He couldn't fathom that she had actually killed Han Xilin with her own strength. There was clearly a two-stage gap between them, and Han Xilin's combat power was far beyond that of an ordinary practitioner. Yet, in this situation, Han Xilin still lost. How strong must Baili Hongzhuang's talent be?
In that instant, Cen Yangbing couldn't help but think of Emperor Beichen. Perhaps, from beginning to end, Emperor Beichen's judgment had never been even slightly mistaken.
"Baili Hongzhuang, the Grand Elder is aware that you killed Han Xilin. He will never let you off!" Cen Yangbing's gaze turned cold as he looked at Baili Hongzhuang. Long before they participated in the assessment competition, the Grand Elder had instructed them to protect Han Xilin at all costs. If anything happened to Han Xilin, their future would be completely ruined.
Now that Han Xilin had fallen, their hope for the future had vanished.
Seeing that Cen Yangbing dared to threaten them even in such a situation, a trace of coldness appeared on the faces of Yuan Zhixin and the others as they stood up.
They were determined to eliminate Cen Yangbing and the others, leaving no survivors. Regardless of how the Grand Elder would eventually determine whether Baili Hongzhuang killed Han Xilin, as long as there was no evidence, everything would be meaningless.
Therefore, they absolutely couldn't leave behind any witnesses who could cause trouble for Baili Hongzhuang in the future.
"Master, leave it to us!" Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai spoke in unison. They were ready to make these annoying people disappear from their sight once and for all.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly. Cen Yangbing and the other three were no longer a concern. They had reached a dead end. Right now, her top priority was to help Mo Yunjue heal his injuries.
