For five hundred years, I have been bound in this forbidden land, and yet here you are, dear Independent Cultivator, shedding tears for what reason?

Summary

Lu Qing Yao, the supreme direct disciple of Qing Xuan Sheng Di, finds herself surrounded by demonic beasts intent on breaking through the grand formation protecting her. Despite her desperate pleas and threats about her powerful allies, the beasts remain unyielding, and the formation begins to crack under their assault. As her situation becomes increasingly dire, she attempts to bargain for her life, even suggesting betrayal against her Shi Zun. However, the beasts, led by a silver-clawed wolf demon, are determined to exact revenge, and the formation ultimately shatters. As Lu Qing Yao screams for help, the disciples outside remain oblivious to her peril, focused instead on preparing for a feast. Only Shi Si Ling senses something amiss but is bound by an oath not to intervene without a call for help. As time passes, the atmosphere grows tense, and the sudden death of Lu Qing Yao's spirit beasts raises alarms among the disciples. When the formation is breached, they witness the horrifying aftermath: Lu Qing Yao is gone, leaving only remnants of her flesh and bone.
