Tormented by the Seven Emotions Gu, she uttered incoherent words, repeatedly saying "I love you" and "I'm sorry."

Shen Sanruo admired Lu Shiqing somewhat; even though he had already seen the outcome, he still chose to numb himself in this way.

But that's no longer her concern; she has already put a period to this absurdity.

From here, it's all over forever.

Unwilling to listen to Lu Shiqing's mad words any longer, he simply used his divine soul power to cut out his tongue.

They even thoughtfully stopped his bleeding, ensuring he wouldn't die easily.

The sins he committed cannot be atoned for by the pain of the Seven Emotions Gu.

Lu Shiqing had completely gone mad; even with his tongue cut out, he could still make "ah ah" sounds.

For him, the pain of having his tongue cut out was nothing compared to the agony of the Seven Emotions Gu.

Judging from his lip movements, he was saying the same things as before.

Even knowing that this would worsen the Seven Emotions Gu's effects, he kept shouting, whether to numb himself or to beg Chen Sang to look at him more.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, mingling with the blood on the ground. The echoing sounds of Lu Shiqing's "Ah ah" filled her ears, creating an intense sense of unease.

Lu Shiqing is a complete madman.

Shen Sangruo looked away, having no time to pay attention to Lu Shiqing anymore.

She needed to leave this place as soon as possible and return to Ninghua Sect; the variables brought about by Bai Mumu and that system were too great.

She could sense that the system's energy was now much stronger than before.

It can revive Bai Mumu, who only has a wisp of her soul left, and can also force her to exchange souls with Bai Mumu when she is undergoing tribulation.

What terrifying power this is.

The evil entity must have received orders from the evil cultivator to steal the system from the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Such a powerful system must be related to evil cultivators; it must be the work of evil cultivators.

Bai Mumu, who had exchanged souls with her, and the system within Bai Mumu, were like a time bomb, infiltrating the Ninghua Sect and potentially exploding at any moment.

Immortal Lord Changli and Ye Huai are currently in an extremely dangerous situation.

No matter how Bai Mumu disguised herself, she believed that Immortal Lord Changli and the others would be able to find out the clues, and that Bai Mumu could not possibly complete the mission.

However, it's hard to guarantee that Bai Mumu and the system have other methods.

Shen Sanruo was probing the barrier set up by Bai Mumu inside the cave. Bai Mumu probably didn't expect that she also had some knowledge of barrier techniques.

Perhaps thinking that trapping someone who had lost all spiritual and divine power wouldn't require much effort, the barrier around the cave was far weaker than the barrier around the formation.

Moreover, she had seen Gu Ci Zhenjun and others break through similar barriers.

Even using the power of the soul, it wouldn't take long.

During the search of the cave, she found Wen Xuan unconscious in one of the rooms.

His body was covered in wounds, and the blood flowing out almost stained his white clothes red. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he or Lu Shiqing outside was in a worse state.

It's obvious at a glance who did this.

Shen Sangruo, of course, showed no sympathy for Wen Xuan and sneered, "So it turns out there's more than just Lu Shiqing as a traitor. I didn't expect there to be another one."

After completing the investigation, she immediately set to work and began to break down the barrier.

Meanwhile, inside the Ninghua Sect.

As soon as Bai Mumu's soul entered Shen Sangruo's body, she was greeted by a bolt of heavenly lightning.

It nearly shattered her soul back into her body.

He then burst into curses, "Damn it, I completely forgot that Chen Sangri is still undergoing tribulation!"

"Shout even louder, preferably so that the stupid cow next to you hears you and discovers that this shell has been replaced with a new core," the evil cultivation system sneered.

Bai Mumu turned her head and, sure enough, saw Kui Niu staring at her with a puzzled expression.

The evil cultivator had already blocked the connection between Shen Sangruo and those contracted beasts' souls, so the Kui Niu and the others were unable to sense anything amiss through the contract.

What troubled the evil cultivators the most was that this Shen Sangruo had actually formed a pact with Qiyan, one of the Five Divine Beasts.

He had originally prepared enough energy to allow Bai Mumu to maintain her disguise for a year or two, enabling her to turn Ninghua Sect and the cultivation world upside down.

However, the energy consumed by exchanging souls has exceeded expectations, and with the shielding of Qiyan, it is estimated that the disguise can only last for about a month.

The evil cultivator was already annoyed by this incident, and now that he saw Bai Mumu almost exposed herself as soon as she arrived, a spark of evil fire rose in his heart.

Bai Mumu quickly suppressed her grimacing expression caused by the heavenly lightning and forced a calm demeanor, at which point Kui Niu turned its head back.

In reality, Bai Mumu's inner screams nearly deafened the evil cultivation system.

"It hurts so much! This damn heavenly lightning, it's not a test for tribulation, it's deliberately trying to kill me! Go to hell!"

It should be noted that the intensity of the heavenly lightning that Shen Sanruo was undergoing was far greater than that of others.

If Shen Sang had gone through several tribulations and accumulated experience in resisting heavenly lightning, he would have developed resistance to it, which would have allowed him to remain calm and composed during the tribulations.

Bai Mumu had never experienced a tribulation of lightning before, and she was immediately struck by such powerful heavenly lightning. Even though she was using Shen Sangruo's body to withstand it, the fear it brought her still remained.

"What's all the noise about! It's just a few lightning tribulations, what's the big deal? As a cultivator, if you can't even withstand lightning tribulations, what are you if not a piece of trash?" The evil cultivator's words were sharp and sarcastic.

Even those who practice evil cultivation have to undergo tribulations, and they were quite dissatisfied with Bai Mumu's overreaction.

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. You make it sound so easy, why don't you try it yourself!" Bai Mumu was also angry and continued to yell at the evil cultivator.

Her whole body ached as if she had been crushed by a boulder, and the surging electric currents made her feel like her soul was about to leave her body.

"It's all your fault! You insisted on urging me to exchange souls with her. Isn't that just asking me to go and get struck by lightning?" Bai Mumu complained.

Originally, successfully exchanging souls with Shen Sangruo was a joyous occasion, but a bolt of lightning shattered her good mood.

"Do you think souls are so easy to exchange? Don't make it sound as easy as eating and drinking. She won't exchange souls during the tribulation when her defenses are weakest. At other times, her soul is heavily guarded. You try exchanging souls with me and see?" The evil cultivator also became impatient.

"I am a heretical cultivator, not a turtle in a wishing well. If I could do anything, I would have already dominated the cultivation world. Why would I waste my breath talking to you here?"

"Hurry up, get through the remaining eighteen lightning tribulations, and then start the plan." The evil cultivator rambled on, "After passing the tribulation, you'll be directly at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and you're still not happy. Even we evil cultivators don't cultivate that fast. Really."

But Bai Mumu's mind was filled with the phrase "eighteen lightning tribulations remaining," and she felt as if the sky was about to collapse, almost fainting from shock.

Before their plan could even begin, it was blocked by the mountain of lightning tribulation.

It can be said that the campaign got off to a bad start.

Second update! Thank you all for your support! *tweets*

Lu Shiqing's ending isn't just like that; there's more punishment for him to come!
