After Shen Sangruo shot the first arrow, she drew her bow again and fired the second arrow.

Although she could shoot two arrows at the same time, it wasn't necessary for Feng Heyun.

If it weren't for the fact that they needed to work together to deal with the evil cultivator's conspiracy, she wouldn't have cared about him at all.

The two arrows that pierced the evil cultivator transformed into two streaks of red and blue light, returning to her hand.

During this time, Wen Xuan and Luo Chu finally broke through the encirclement of the phantoms and arrived at Feng Heyun's side, who seemed to have lost his soul, to cover his retreat.

"Senior Brother, quickly drink the potion to replenish your spiritual energy!" Wen Xuan asked anxiously when he saw that he didn't move. "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

In that critical moment, they only saw Shen Sangruo save Feng Heyun. In such a short time, they couldn't even notice who Shen Sangruo saved first.

They were not firsthand witnesses, so naturally they had no idea of ​​the rich thoughts that Feng Heyun had inside.

From their perspective, it must have been an exciting thing for Shen Sangri to save him.

Even Lu Shiqing couldn't help but say sarcastically, "You're so happy you've lost your mind just because you were saved once? Standing there motionless, do you want her to save you again? You're really scheming."

"You know that even though you've won back her affections, she still doesn't like you. You get excited when she cares about you even once in a while, but can you tell the difference between a normal situation and a normal one?"

After hearing Lu Shiqing's barbed words, Feng Heyun finally snapped out of his daze.

He was already feeling bad, and now his face looked even worse.

He glanced quickly at Chen Sangruo in the distance, drank the potion to replenish his spiritual energy, and without saying a word, continued to deal with the illusory figure.

Shen Sanruo didn't notice what was happening here, but instead looked at Shi Zhili, who appeared at the border between the two battlefields.

I have a feeling that his presence here is not accidental.

After composing himself, Shi Zhili immediately shared the information he had just discovered.

"They are spirits. These phantoms are all made up of spirits, as well as resentment and obsession!"

Like Shen Sangruo, he had been pondering the origins of these illusory figures since the beginning.

He had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't be sure until he came to the handover point and saw it clearly.

"None of the phantoms from the Taichu Sect were among those who sacrificed themselves in the Sealing Cliff Formation." Shi Zhili's voice trembled slightly.

Apart from the eleven who survived, the souls of the rest of that group were completely devoured.

Shi Zhili came to the handover point in order to get a clearer view and investigate the identities of those illusory figures.

The illusory figures of the Taichu Sect only represent half the actual number of members of the Taichu Sect, and most of them are young faces.

As for the demonic cultivators, many of them had their souls devoured by Ya Lan, thus reducing their numbers considerably.

When the quantities on both sides decrease, it becomes impossible to determine the change in quantity through comparison.

Upon hearing this answer, Shen Sanruo's eyes flickered.

She had considered the possibility of a divine soul, but she did not sense any aura of a divine soul in those phantoms.

With her current spiritual strength, she could detect even the slightest trace of spiritual energy, which is why she ruled out that answer.

In retrospect, it is highly likely that their resentment and obsessions obscured the aura of their souls, or to put it another way.

Their souls are molds, and the phantoms before them are merely replicas conjured from resentment and obsession. The molds themselves have been hidden elsewhere by the evil cultivators.

In this way, those skilled in spirit magic will not be able to detect it.

Once this is realized, we are not far from breaking the formation.

She even felt that the idea came from Ya Lan, because only he would make a fuss about matters of the soul.

"Then they're... trapped here forever?" Song Weiyan's voice trailed off.

These are the souls of the younger generation preserved by the Taichu Sect, carrying the sect's last hope.

They thought they could reincarnate smoothly, but unexpectedly, they have been trapped in this formation for thousands of years.

The group felt a chill run down their spines, as if a huge net had been covering the heads of the Taichu Sect people ten thousand years ago.

The next step is to sacrifice oneself to the seal, waiting for one's soul to be gradually exhausted; the next step is to be trapped in the formation, never to be reborn.

The two remaining paths have been blocked, and no matter which one you take, there will only be one outcome: the destruction of your sect.

The Annihilation Sect, whose very soul has vanished.

I knew those evil cultivators used insidious methods, but I never imagined they had become this insidious.

With her brows slightly furrowed, Shen Sangruo let out a heavy sigh.

Fortunately, both paths have encountered changes and have seen a glimmer of hope.

The sealed soul did not completely become nourishment for Ya Lan. Ya Lan died, but eleven members of the Tai Chu Sect survived.

The souls trapped in the formation will soon be freed.

The evil cultivators' plan is doomed to fail, whether it's aimed at the Tai Chu Sect or the cultivation world.

"Luo Chu, if you can establish a connection with those phantoms, can you identify which ones are the array's cores?" She suppressed the hatred in her eyes, her gaze becoming incredibly resolute.

"Ah, yes, yes!" Luo Chu was a little stunned because she didn't expect the turning point to come so quickly, but she responded immediately after she came to her senses.

He does have the ability to find the core of the formation through communication.

Having received Luo Chu's affirmative answer, Shen Sanruo already had a plan in mind.

"Shi Zhili, Luo Chu, move closer to me." With that, she waved her feather fan, and the wind carried her quickly to the space between the two of them.

Luo Chu finally had a chance to show off in front of her, so he put all his effort into getting to her side.

Shi Zhili had always been dissatisfied with her, but at this moment he didn't argue with her or anything. He dodged the surrounding afterimages and walked towards her.

There was even a strange hint of obedience in that odd expression.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were together.

She quickly gathered her divine soul power, swept it across Shi Zhili's divine soul, extracted a portion of his divine soul aura, and handed it over to Luo Chu.

"Use this to establish a connection with those phantoms."

Shi Zhili's spiritual aura is the best medium to establish a connection with the spiritual souls of the Taichu Sect members.

Luo Chu understood her meaning and couldn't help but wonder, "But this can only be done by finding the array eye on the Tai Chu Sect's illusory side."

There is more than one array core; there must also be an array core on the demonic cultivator's illusory side.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Sangruo draw out a wisp of black divine soul energy from between her eyebrows and hand it to him.

"The demonic cultivator's phantom uses this."

The remnant soul of the demonic cultivator leader is all in her body, so why worry about not finding a connection with the demonic cultivator's phantom?

Ya Lan's remnant soul—no, it should be said that Xiao Hei really helped her a lot.

Without Xiao Hei, many things would have been twice as troublesome.

Okay, when we get back, I'll have Qiyan spit out two magic bubbles as a reward for Xiao Hei.

Today's update is here! Thank you everyone for your monthly tickets, tips, recommendations, and for following and adding this to your favorites. Thank you so much!

Can you guess which of the six members of the Flying Cloud Sect will log off first? Although they might still be a long way from being offline, haha.
