A few days ago, Ran Yun Ting had reprimanded her mercilessly and she had been injured by a Senior Sister named Zhou Yun Xuan, but even so, Qing Ya did not utter any complaints and simply returned to the Outer Island to enter retreat.
She knew that her actions at the time were indeed a bit reckless and not someone else’s fault.
But today, the charges levelled against her by Bing Die were like a bolt of lightning striking her, leaving her completely disheartened.
Great Elder intended to kill her ruthlessly!
She was just a small Outer Island disciple with no status to speak of, but just because she was an acquaintance with Yang Kai, Great Elder wasn’t willing to forgive her? Moreover, she was being accused of such heinous crimes.
Colluding with outsiders, shaking Ice Heart Valley’s foundation…
Qing Ya’s beautiful eyes gradually dimmed, and the look of resistance in her eyes gradually disappeared.
“You have three breaths left!” Bing Die said coldly.
Qing Ya brushed her hair back behind her ear, elegantly bowed to Bing Die, and said softly, “Senior Sister Bing Die, Junior Sister has a request she must trouble you with.”
Bing Die frowned slightly for a moment before nodding, “Speak.”
“Please do not let Su Yan know about today’s affairs. If she asks about me in the future, tell her that I have simply gone out for life experience.”
“Don’t concern yourself with Su Yan, Great Elder will give her an explanation,” Bing Die sneered, “Did you think you could survive by mentioning Su Yan’s name? The Law Enforcement Hall treats all impartially, even Su Yan. Nothing you say will stop what happens here today.”
She apparently thought that Qing Ya had ulterior motives and was trying to use Su Yan’s status to make them back down.
“Junior Sister had no such intentions,” Qing Ya smiled bitterly.
“Your time is up, your decision!” Bing Die issued an ultimatum.
“Senior Sister, please!” Qing Ya slowly closed her eyes.
Reaching her current cultivation was a long and tortuous path, so Qing Ya did not have the heart to simply destroy it all herself.
“As you wish!” A cold light flashed across Bing Die’s eyes as she lifted her palm and pressed it towards Qing Ya.
A blast of ice-cold energy flew out from the palm of her hand, one that contained great destructive power.
Exclamations sounded all around as countless Ice Heart Valley disciples watched.
Many people frowned secretly and showed reluctant expressions on their faces.
Their strength was not weak so they could naturally tell that Bing Die’s palm wasn’t meant to simply cripple Qing Ya’s cultivation, it was intended to kill her!
Even if Qing Ya managed to survive somehow, she would be seriously wounded, and may even be worse off than an ordinary mortal in the future, unable to take care of herself.
Sighing to themselves, many turned their heads, unwilling to witness such a cruel scene.
Bing Die’s eyes were frigid, seemingly containing no emotions a normal person should, only coldness.
“Hm?” Suddenly, Bing Die exclaimed.
Just as her palm was about to hit Qing Ya, in a flash, a new figure appeared in front of her.
This figure lifted his hand carelessly and seemingly lightly pushed it out.
In the next moment, Bing Die’s beautiful face paled as she felt a terrifying force fly towards her, one that not only scattered her attack but also shattered the Saint Qi defence around her body.
Like a paper kite with a broken thread, Bing Die was sent through the air as she coughed up blood without any ability to resist.
With a thud, Bing Die landed heavily on the snow and slid back a few dozen metres before finally coming to a stop.
