The expression of astonishment was evident in Ren Wantong's eyes. According to common knowledge, the strength of cultivators from small-scale dynasties has always been at the bottom in this assessment competition. Moreover, Bai Li Hongzhuang appeared to be a few years younger than her. She had never imagined that Bai Li Hongzhuang could be strong, as all the conditions indicated otherwise.
However, now, Nan Gong Yue'er's words had completely reversed the situation. If the current turmoil in the Qingxiao Dynasty was indeed caused by Bai Li Hongzhuang, then how influential must she be? In that instant, Ren Wantong immediately recalled the obsequious attitude of Yuan Zhixin and the others towards Bai Li Hongzhuang. She suddenly understood that Yuan Zhixin and the others must have known about Bai Li Hongzhuang's strength, which was why they treated her with such respect. Who exactly was Bai Li Hongzhuang?
Xia Zhiqing and the others were also stunned. They had no idea that such a major incident had occurred in the Qingxiao Dynasty. Originally, they thought that at most, Hongzhuang had poisoned Nan Gong Aochen. Now it seemed that the situation was far from simple. The entire Qingxiao Dynasty had been greatly affected. What had Hongzhuang done?
Gong Shaoqing and the others were secretly shocked, but they were more delighted. After all, if they could, they would have loved to annihilate the entire royal family of the Qingxiao Dynasty themselves. However, they didn't possess that kind of power. But Hongzhuang had done it, which was equivalent to venting their anger.
As soon as Nan Gong Yue'er spoke those words, Nan Gong Yujue knew the situation was not good, but it was already too late to stop her. The turmoil in the Qingxiao Dynasty over the past year was something that many dynasties were aware of, but the specific reasons were unknown to outsiders. As the saying goes, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public." It was fine to let others speculate in their daily lives, but now that Nan Gong Yue'er had revealed the reason, the situation had undoubtedly become worse. It was unbelievable that the prestigious royal family of the Qingxiao Dynasty had fallen to such a state because of a woman.
Listening to Nan Gong Yue'er's words, Bai Li Hongzhuang chuckled lightly. "You've already been lucky enough to survive, yet you still come seeking trouble."
"Seems like you really miss Nan Gong Aochen," Bai Li Hongzhuang casually remarked, further infuriating Nan Gong Yue'er. Whether Nan Gong Aochen lived or died didn't matter much to her. What she disliked the most was almost being forced into a marriage.
"Bai Li Hongzhuang, you're as arrogant as ever. However, today is the day you'll be buried!" Nan Gong Yue'er's voice was icy, her eyes filled with intense hatred. Today, she would make Bai Li Hongzhuang suffer in every way possible.
Bai Li Hongzhuang glanced at Nan Gong Yujue and the others. "You all made such a big fuss to call me here, and now that I'm here, what do you plan to do?"
She knew that Nan Gong Yujue and the others used Yuan Zhixin and the others as a means to blackmail her. If she hadn't come out earlier, Nan Gong Yujue would have really killed Yuan Zhixin. After all, by killing Yuan Zhixin, he still had Yuan Xiaoman as a bargaining chip.
"Hehe," Wei Junjie let out a hoarse laugh, "you do have courage."
Bai Li Hongzhuang glanced at Wei Junjie indifferently. "Tell me, are we fighting as a group or one-on-one?"
With Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, the cultivators present once again gasped in astonishment.
