Guan Yi opened her eyes.

It was all over, her golden core was complete.

As she approached the breakthrough, she had faintly sensed the intrusion into the array she had set up. In that instant, she almost risked going berserk to forcibly stop the breakthrough, but in that instant, she remembered Ma En's promise.

For reasons she couldn't explain, Guan Yi ultimately believed in Ma En.

But she had expected to see Ma En fighting bitterly with her senior brothers and sisters when she opened her eyes, but the young man standing not far away had skin that was constantly oozing blood, making it feel like his flesh was about to melt away to reveal his bones, and there was a terrible scar on his chest...

But he was holding a constantly trembling golden core in his hand, while the other parts of her senior brother Yu Weijie's body were constantly changing back and forth between mist and solid form, like a ghost exposed to sunlight, and he was constantly begging Ma En for mercy.

What shocked her even more was the fallen corpse and the shattered golden core in the distance.

Senior Sister Zhong was dead.

Seeing this scene, she felt a sense of unreality. Her senior sister, who she had spent so many years with, was dead, and her not-yet-cold corpse was lying on the ground not far away, but...

She didn't seem to feel sad or grieved about her death.

"Did you take them down alone?" she said with a look of surprise.

Ma En answered directly:

"Yes, my combat power in this realm is indeed relatively strong."

The girl couldn't explain why, but it seemed that Ma En had defeated them before her breakthrough was more important to her than her senior sister's life or death. The fact that she dared to break through directly here meant that she believed deep down that Ma En could hold on until her breakthrough was over.

But the meaning of consecutively killing her senior sister and senior brother in such a short period of time was completely different. They were not weak to begin with, not to mention that she could notice that her senior brother, who was constantly struggling in the distance, had also broken through, and the "sword intent" that her senior sister had left on Ma En was even more painful to her eyes. That sword intent could already be compared to those prodigies.

After advancing to the Golden Core Completion stage, her senior sister and senior brother were not much different from the prodigies of those great sects, perhaps only lacking time to completely polish their cultivation and spells to be more harmonious, but Ma En was facing two people.

This small gap could be ignored in a two-on-one situation, but he was still able to suppress, continuously kill, and control his senior sister and senior brother in such a short period of time. There were very few cultivators who could do this in their place.

In the cultivation world, cultivators like Ma En could not be cultivated by simply being from famous sects. Most of them had already become famous at a young age. For them, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was often only a matter of time, and the Semi-Immortal realm was the difficulty they faced.

No wonder Master wanted to accept Ma En as a disciple even though Ma En killed Du Jin, because the four of them combined were far inferior to Ma En.

"Save me! Junior Sister!" Yu Weijie looked at her with pleading eyes, "I was forced to do it."

Guan Yi looked at him with a complicated expression, then took two steps back:

"Ma En, you didn't kill him because you wanted to get answers, right?"

She had no intention of pleading for her senior brother.

"That's right, that's why I haven't killed him yet." Ma En nodded, then turned to look at Yu Weijie, "Now tell me, why did you suddenly attack me? If you answer satisfactorily, I can spare your life.

"Don't try to lie to me, I can feel what you're thinking."

Yu Weijie, who was originally thinking about how to delay time with lies, was immediately frightened and abandoned this stupid idea, after all, his purpose was only to live until he had devoured Zhong Ruixue's seven souls, not to keep Master's secret.

"I swear to the Great Dao, I will not say a single false word in what follows. The reason I came here to kill you is because Master gave us a hint. He told Zhong Ruixue and me that only one of the four of us could survive..."

Speaking of this, he swallowed his saliva, glanced at the little junior sister behind Ma En, and then said to Ma En with a bit of flattery:

"And Zhong Ruixue and I both agreed that you are the strongest guy among us, so we originally planned to join forces to kill you."

Guan Yi was indifferent to his gaze and hints—she knew that Yu Weijie said the previous sentence to say that Ma En might also kill himself if he accepted Master's arrangement, but at this time she had no doubts about this.

"But you misjudged." She said as if she hadn't heard that sentence, "You and Senior Sister both miscalculated the chances of success."

Yu Weijie smiled bitterly and said:

"That's right, if we had known this, we would definitely not have come to you for trouble, but would have tried to join forces with you to resist Master, but there has never been any such thing as knowing this beforehand. With the personalities of Zhong Ruixue and me, it is impossible to think that anyone in the same realm can defeat us when we join forces.

"We lost, so we should accept the result of failure, but before you kill me, I would like to make a suggestion. Actually, you and I have no grievances. We are all fighting each other because of Xiaoyao's calculations and threats. He is the mastermind behind your attack, and we are just knives in his hands.

"Your real enemy is him, so why don't we join forces to resist him and not let his conspiracy succeed? You are an important member of the Federation, and you will definitely be able to reach an agreement with them. Guan Yi and I can also provide them with knowledge and information about the cultivation world and cultivation. I know they have always wanted to get these. If you hand Guan Yi and me over to them, you will definitely get huge rewards.

"What do you think?"

Although he was still devouring the remaining seven souls of his senior sister, Yu Weijie was actually a little shaken. Perhaps acting according to his current delaying rhetoric would be more likely to survive. He was indeed very afraid of his master deep down, and he didn't think he could easily escape his palm, but...

The man in front of him also made him feel fear.

"You want to cooperate with me, you can." Ma En secretly infiltrated his mind as he spoke, "Just tell me the details of Xiaoyao asking you to come to me, and why only one of us can survive."

Hearing this, Yu Weijie's heart skipped a beat. He had deliberately not said these things just now, because he was afraid that Ma En would directly kill them all after learning the specific details in order to obtain their experience.

The truth is that if Ma En killed them all, it was very likely that he would survive alone.

Just as Yu Weijie was struggling with two fears, he suddenly saw a familiar cold look.
