The thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands, resentful of the oppressive rule of the Heavenly Mountain Palace, decided to revolt and march upon Misty Peak.
Wu Laoda claimed that he had risked his life to secretly infiltrate the Heavenly Mountain Palace, intending to steal the antidote for the Life and Death Talisman. However, he failed to find the antidote and, by chance, ended up capturing the child prodigy of Heavenly Mountain, who had been returned to her youth.
"This is the young girl I captured from Misty Peak!"
With a wave of his hand, Wu Laoda signaled for a person carrying a black cloth bag to step forward and place it before everyone.
As the cloth bag was opened, Jiang Ling, portraying the child prodigy of Heavenly Mountain, made her grand entrance.
Jiang Ling lowered her head, her eyes sweeping over the crowd from the corner of her vision. She pressed her hands to her face and began to wail.
Her simple cries sent a chill through everyone present.
The little girl's crying sounded remarkably convincing.
Wasn't it said that Jiang Ling needed eye drops to cry during scenes?
While outwardly weeping, Jiang Ling, as the child prodigy of Heavenly Mountain, harbored an unfathomable chill in the depths of her eyes.
It was the anger of a superior towards the treacherous rebellion of their subordinates, coupled with the frustration and resentment of having lost all their martial arts prowess due to rejuvenation and being forced to feign muteness.
The crying was a facade, the chill was the reality!
Her crying concealed her inner rage and unease, with her expressive eyes conveying layers of emotion.
The actors in the crew, watching nearby, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Within a minute of her appearance, she had conveyed the character's complexity through a crying scene. What profound acting skills would be required to achieve this?
The most astonished were, of course, Gao Biao, and Xie Yuxin, the actress playing Li Qiushui, the arch-nemesis of the child prodigy, who was not scheduled to film that day.
Having heard that Jiang Ling would be playing the role of the child prodigy, they were deeply worried that her mediocre acting would drag them down and damage their own reputations.
Watching her performance up close this time, they had prepared themselves for their eyes to be blinded by her lack of talent.
They never imagined that her acting would be so superb.
Although both of them were accomplished actors.
To portray the complex inner world of a character through a crying scene in less than a minute.
They truly couldn't do it!
As everyone watched in astonishment, the performance continued.
After much deliberation, the demons and monsters of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands decided to kill the mute young girl, swear allegiance in blood, and declare eternal enmity with the Misty Palace.
Just then, Gao Biao, playing the role of Xu Zhu, intervened. He used his palm strike to repel Wu Laoda, grabbed the child prodigy of Heavenly Mountain into the cloth bag, slung the bag over his shoulder, and fled desperately.
After running through the forest for a while, a voice suddenly echoed from behind him: "Coward! All you know is how to run for your life. How shameful!"
The voice, filled with authority yet tinged with a sinister and eerie quality, made Gao Biao's entire body shiver, and surprised everyone present.
The seamless transition from a young girl's voice to an old woman's, with clear enunciation and a steady, powerful tone.
The vocal quality and the mastery of dialogue were truly exceptional.
The bearded director overseeing everything grew increasingly impressed.
Gao Biao quickly regained his composure, his face contorted in feigned panic, continuing to act along.
As he was acting, he was startled to realize that the aged voice was coming from the cloth bag. He fumbled and dropped the bag.
Gao Biao cried out in pain and quickly pulled the person out of the bag. He asked curiously, "Young girl, why does your voice sound so old?"
Jiang Ling's gaze was sharp, like two cold bolts of lightning, and she swept her chilling, commanding aura across them.
