Yan Tianqin, though significantly stronger than Bi Shuixin with her peak Golden Elixir stage cultivation, seemed to be injured. Moreover, she was constrained by her efforts to protect the disciples around her.

"Yan Tianqin, this is nothing more than a struggle of a trapped beast. Once my master arrives, none of you will escape," Bi Shuixin taunted, not in a hurry, instead instructing the disciples below to set up a formation to trap them inside.

As the formation took shape, the disciples of Falling Maple Valley advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, launching attacks in turns, leaving those trapped inside in constant peril.
