Yu Xiaoqing was only one small realm lower than Hua Yun, but she could clearly sense that Yu Xiaoqing seemed much weaker than Hua Yun.
There is only one explanation for her.
Yu Xiaoqing did not use her full strength.
Or perhaps they dare not exert their full strength?
Could it be that he sensed something amiss about the young master's aura?
"Young lady, I have truly used all my strength. I will give you all the remaining demon beast cores on my body right now. Please, let me and my junior brothers and sisters go!"
Yu Xiaoqing said with a bitter face, feeling extremely resentful and frustrated!
Normally, apart from his senior brother Hua Yun, he is the most respected among his junior brothers and sisters!
However, today his pride and his strength have become a complete joke in front of his fellow disciples.
His abdomen was being trampled on by a woman who was younger than him and had a lower cultivation level, who was ruthlessly trampling on his dignity!
However, he witnessed Hua Yun's death firsthand and saw it clearly.
Between life and dignity, Yu Xiaoqing could only choose the former.
While begging for mercy, he also pleaded for his junior brothers and sisters, hoping to save face in front of them.
"Hmph." Ye Qianzhi snorted coldly with some disappointment and slowly moved her foot away: "So the sword cultivators of the Sword Pavilion are all weaklings. The Sword Pavilion is nothing special."
Ye Qianzhi actually humiliated the Sword Pavilion, which everyone had always been proud of!
If this were any other time, the united and resolute disciples of the Sword Pavilion would certainly have fought a battle, or even attacked as a group, to defend the reputation of the Sword Pavilion!
However, at this moment, none of the Sword Pavilion disciples dared to speak out against their anger.
There's no way around it, Ye Qianzhi and Zhuo Xinyan are both too strong!
Moreover, there's Zhang Yun, who's been leisurely watching the show and hasn't made a move yet!
Judging from their behavior, Zhang Yun should be the strongest among the three.
They defeated two of the strongest among them, and Zhang Yun, the strongest of the opposing team, still hasn't made a move. What this means is self-evident.
"Sister Qianzhi, there's no point in continuing this fight. Let's call it a day."
Ye Qianzhi sighed and shook her head, looking extremely disappointed.
"Alright." Zhuo Xinyan nodded slightly, her indifferent eyes sweeping over everyone with a single punch, which immediately sent chills down the spines of the Sword Pavilion disciples, who then voluntarily handed over the remnants of the monsters they had hunted.
"I didn't expect that after hunting so many monsters, you didn't even get a single crystal core."
After confirming repeatedly whether the Sword Pavilion disciples were hoarding any items, Ye Qianzhi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's normal that there are no monster cores, after all, such things are rare and hard to come by."
Zhuo Xinyan seemed to have a relatively calm mindset.
Although there is only a one-word difference between residual nuclei and crystal nuclei, the two are actually worlds apart.
The remnant core is merely the remnant core left over after a demon beast condenses a crystal core. The crystal core, on the other hand, is different. It requires years of condensation and refinement by the demon beast and can be considered one of the most essential and precious parts of the demon beast. Moreover, condensing a true crystal core requires not only time and effort but also luck.
Therefore, even the crystal core of a mere demon beast is extremely precious and priceless.
Besides being used for alchemy, the crystal cores of demonic beasts can also be used by human cultivators to extract their essence and enhance their cultivation.
Of course, crystal nuclei have many other uses, and when used in cutting-edge applications, their value is naturally realized.
"Alright, you can leave now."
Having collected all the crystal cores, Ye Qianzhi felt that everything had lost its appeal and said indifferently, "You can all leave now."
"Thank you, Miss Ye, for sparing my life."
A huge weight was finally lifted from her heart. Yu Xiaoqing wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling as if she had survived a disaster.
At that time, Yu Xiaoqing had a general idea of why Zhuo Xinyan resolutely killed Hua Yun.
It must have been Hua Yun's murderous intent and harsh words before the battle that led to his death.
This also served as a wake-up call for him. For a long time to come, he had to keep a low profile, never underestimate anyone, and never do anything foolish like revealing his murderous intent or making threats before the battle.
“However, he has to stay.” Zhuo Xinyan’s face was as cold as ice as she pointed at Hua Zhi, who was standing to the side, barely daring to breathe.
Upon hearing this, everyone's sense of propriety became awkward.
Although Hua Zhi was their junior brother, they would have definitely pleaded for him under normal circumstances. My body contains countless worlds.

Everyone is struggling to survive, so how can they possibly care about him?
"Second Senior Brother, I've always been so good to you, you have to save me!"
Upon meeting Ye Qianzhi and Zhuo Xinyan's terrifying gazes, Hua Zhi was so frightened that he immediately ran to Yu Xiaoqing and hid behind him.
"Hua Zhi, it's time for you to pay the price for your stupidity and bullying."
Yu Xiaoqing gave Hua Zhi a deep look, and finally could only sigh deeply: "Junior brothers and sisters, let's go."
