"Okay," Bai Ruoan replied softly, and did as she was told.

The glowing worms burrowed into his flesh and blood, crawling along the flesh and blood all the way into his eye socket, and into his eyeball, where they began to gnaw at him.

Because the Firefly Gu worms are extremely sensitive, Bai Ruoan cannot take painkillers during this process and can only endure it.

Even though he was trying his best to endure it, his face couldn't help but become somewhat ferocious.

He, who was always gentle and refined, had never lost his composure like this before.

Everyone present stared intently at Bai Ruoan with tense eyes.

Shen Sanruo gently pursed her lips, gazing intently at his every tiny movement.

The entire process lasted for an hour, during which no one uttered a sound, for fear of disturbing Bai Ruoan.

Once the veins on his forehead subsided, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to be met with a new tension.

Was the treatment for the Firefly Gu worm successful?

"Third Senior Brother, how are you feeling?" Shen Sangruo asked softly.

Bai Ruoan did not speak, but slowly opened her eyes the next moment.

Just as she had guessed, those eyes possessed a gentleness that defied description.

Like peach blossoms falling in March, they float quietly in a pool of shimmering spring water.

The water shimmered even more, perhaps because of the glowing insects.

Completely different from Wen Xuan's gentleness, if Bai Ruoan were placed next to Wen Xuan, Wen Xuan would probably be overshadowed and ignored by everyone.

"Does this mean I'm cured?" Song Weiyan held up five fingers and waved them in front of Bai Ruoan. "Third Junior Brother, how many is this?"

Bai Ruoan merely rolled her eyes slightly at Song Weiyan's idiotic behavior.

"Second Brother, your head seems to need treatment more than my eyes."

Even if his eyesight hasn't recovered, he can still barely distinguish things, right?

After choking Song Weiyan, he chuckled and looked at Shen Sangruo.

Although he had a general idea of ​​what was around him before his eyes recovered, thanks to the residual spiritual power in his body, it was still not as clear as seeing it with his own eyes.

Ye Huai and the others—he had spent many years with them, and even though he was just a copy of them, he naturally had their images in his mind.

But Shen Sangri was someone he had never actually met.

The blurry figure was finally clearly reflected in his eyes.

The first thing he noticed was her bright eyes, which were staring at him with a strange look in them.

In fact, today is the first time they have ever met.

Bai Ruoan laughed and said to her, "Is this our junior sister?"

Shen Sanruo understood the meaning behind his words, so she smiled and cupped her hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Third Senior Brother."

Given this situation, it is obvious that Bai Ruoan has recovered.

The other three, including Ye Huai, also gathered around. The five fellow disciples stood together, all smiling.

Thus, all the shackles that the four of them originally carried were cut off by Shen Sangruo, leading them to a new life.

Seeing this scene, the Taoist Wuwei, standing to the side, was filled with a mix of emotions in his aged eyes, and was quite moved.

Who could have imagined that she, who found the Xuanmu wood by chance a few years ago, would not only develop a deep connection with them, but also bring about such a great change for them and Ninghua Sect.

He once thought that the Ninghua Sect would be trapped in this small area, remaining silent until it completely disappeared from the cultivation world.

He stroked his beard, feeling the vibrant energy connecting him to the Ninghua Sect, and laughed heartily, "It seems I was destined not to die here, hahaha..."

The appearance of Shen Sangruo can be said to have completely reversed the fate of Ninghua Sect.

He shook his head again, "It's a pity that Changli isn't here and can't share this joy with us."

If Changli hadn't been in the crucial moment of seclusion, he would have already dragged that kid over, just like last time.

If he saw this scene, he would also realize how right it was to have made the decision to take Chen Sangruo as his disciple, right?

We should be even more grateful that Shen Sangruo chose them and became a member of Ninghua Sect.

"We've struck gold! We've truly struck gold!" The Taoist Master Wuwei grinned from ear to ear.

At the same time, he silently thought to himself, "Chen Sangruo's former sect must have suffered a huge loss."

I wonder what it will be like when they meet again in the sect competition later.

Just thinking about the various expressions those people might have made made the Taoist Wuwei feel incredibly comfortable and proud.

This is what it means to be blind to the truth.

Then, the Taoist Master Wuwei slowly walked over to the five people.

"Junior Sister, you've had a long and tiring journey," Su Xiyu said with utmost sincerity.

They had expressed their gratitude to Shen Sangruo, thanking her for pulling them out of the mire.

“You are my fellow disciples, we are of the same lineage, why do you need to say these things to me.”

It is only right for fellow disciples to help each other.

It was the Taoist Master Wuwei who removed those emotions from her and saved her life.

"If you really want to thank me, then prepare seriously for the upcoming sect competition. If you can leave a deep impression on the cultivation world in the competition, that will be the best way to thank me." She said each word with great seriousness.

Looking at the senior students in front of her, she couldn't help but imagine how spirited and ambitious they must have been back then.

It's time to amaze the cultivation world once again.

The next step is to revitalize the Ninghua Sect.

Shen Sanruo always kept in mind her identity as the young sect master of Ninghua Sect, and she was genuinely planning for the sect's comeback.

Ye Huai and the others naturally knew how important this sect competition was to Ninghua Sect.

They have been silent for so many years, and they have waited far too long for this day.

During this period, apart from Bai Ruoan who had not yet recovered, they were all putting in their utmost mental training.

"We will do our utmost," they said in unison, their voices filled with unwavering determination.

They will certainly not let down their junior sister for everything she has done for them.

"I've been wanting to go out and have a good fight for a long time." Song Weiyan cracked his knuckles, his eyes filled with heroic ambition.

Shen Sangruo smiled and said, "I also believe in my senior brothers and sisters."

As if remembering something, she brought up another matter, "I encountered something else during my trip to the Illusory Realm."

She then recounted her experiences with heretical practices in detail.

"This matter concerns the entire cultivation world. The sect leader and several senior brothers and sisters have fought against evil cultivators before, so you are more familiar with them than I am."

"Are they truly prepared for everything, ready to launch a counterattack against the cultivation world at any moment?"

"During the journey back, I thought about it carefully. At most, there are only a few hundred evil cultivators in the cultivation world. With only these few people, how can they possibly make a comeback?"

"I wonder if any of you can discern the meaning behind that heretical cultivator's teachings?"
