Shen Sangruo's gaze fell on Lingxiao Zhenren, and she looked him up and down.

Finally, his gaze lingered on the few bruises that had not yet faded on Lingxiao Zhenren's face, and the smile in his eyes was meaningful.

He couldn't help but secretly marvel at the extent of his master's ruthlessness.

With their late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, their battles would inevitably involve a barrage of spells, resulting in internal injuries or a bloody mess, with very few bruises like this.

One place could be a coincidence, but so many places could only be the work of Immortal Lord Changli.

In the end, he specifically used his fists to fight hand-to-hand, giving Lingxiao Zhenren a severe beating, and even targeting such an obvious place as the face.

It can be said that it is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

One can imagine the fury Lingxiao Zhenren felt afterward, having been left with such a shameful mark.

Immortal Lord Changli and Daoist Wuwei, among others, were also in the main hall.

Since they were all acquaintances, Shen Sangruo didn't need to say anything formal.

He addressed the people from the Flying Cloud Sect directly, saying, "Wen Xuan is dead, you all know that? Then hurry up and take the body away."

"Lu Shiqing should be here soon too. You should come over again in a couple of days."

"Second Junior Brother, is he really dead?" Feng Heyun's pupils trembled, as if he couldn't believe it.

How could this be? In the blink of an eye, he was the only disciple left under Master Lingxiao.

As his junior brothers left one by one, Feng Heyun felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand.

Shen Sanruo thoughtfully added, "Not only did he die, but I also shattered his soul. Do you have any objections?"

Their attitude was extremely arrogant.

Feng Heyun's face paled slightly, but thinking that Shen Sangruo had always treated them this way, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy, so he began to worry whether he would end up like that.

Shen Daochen's brows remained furrowed, and his expression seemed to show some dissatisfaction with her actions, but in the end he said nothing.

Master Lingxiao showed no reaction whatsoever, as if the one who died was not his disciple, but some insignificant person.

"If there are no objections, then go and take the body away." The smile on her face slowly faded. "Bai Mumu was resurrected right under your noses, and you didn't even notice anything amiss."

"You are still as stupid as ever. You used to be able to be completely fooled by Bai Mumu, and you are still the same now. What a useless sect, a bunch of useless people."

As she finished speaking, she looked at Ling Xiao Zhenren with a very direct and pointed gaze.

Lingxiao Zhenren clenched his fists tightly at her words, and his face cracked slightly.

"I have never seen a sect like this before. It can't contribute anything to important matters, and instead it creates a lot of trouble," Qi Yan said with a sarcastic tone.

Even though they were unaware of Lu Shiqing's or Wen Xuan's situation, the Wanling Palace still issued a relevant notice regarding this matter.

The Flying Cloud Sect probably didn't pay attention to the situation in the cultivation world at all, so they didn't care about the information from the Myriad Spirits Hall.

"Your sect truly is full of talented people." Immortal Lord Changli smirked, "One scandal after another."

First, he attacked his companions while trying to break the formation, and now he's directly colluding with evil cultivators.

The people from Feiyun Sect already knew most of these things when they came to Ninghua Sect.

His gaze toward Master Lingxiao was extremely sarcastic. "I must say, Master Lingxiao's eye for choosing disciples is far too sharp."

“One or two of them are so outrageous, and there’s even an evil spirit mixed in. No wonder Sang Ruo wanted to leave Zhenlin Peak. Compared to them, she really doesn’t fit in.”

"Now you only have that one disciple left. You must keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything that will leave you with none."

Feng Heyun's face turned even uglier, and he felt extremely distressed.

Lingxiao Zhenren already harbored various hostile feelings towards Changli Xianjun, and being mocked like this only added fuel to the fire.

"What does my business have to do with you? You're just showing off in front of me because she hasn't regained her emotions yet." Master Lingxiao almost squeezed his palms until they bled.

The obsession in my heart fueled my inner demons, and even my head started to ache.

The various emotions surrounding him seemed to be pushing him to an extreme, devouring his already limited rationality, and making him do something recklessly.

"Do you think you can still act as her master after she regains her feelings for me?" Master Lingxiao narrowed his eyes and said through gritted teeth.

The other disciples only brought him shame, and he didn't care at all. If it weren't for the fear that Chen Sangri would be reluctant to part with them, he would have expelled them from the sect long ago.

Changli Immortal Lord did not engage in further verbal sparring with him, but instead let out a disdainful sneer.

"Your people colluded with evil cultivators and swapped Sang's soul. If Sang hadn't been strong enough, she would have already fallen victim to their evil deeds. I think the Flying Cloud Sect should give us an explanation for this matter, shouldn't it?"

The Taoist Master Wuwei, with a serious expression, brought the topic back to its main point.

"This was our oversight." Shen Daochen rarely spoke defiantly, after all, the matter was already set in stone, and he could not argue against it.

Moreover, he now truly regards Shen Sangruo as his daughter. How could he not be worried and fearful, and how could he not feel heartache for what she has gone through?

If Wen Xuan and Lu Shiqing hadn't already been punished, he would have truly wanted to tear them to pieces.

He turned to Shen Sangri, his expression filled with heartache, "Those two were already malicious and wicked, and they have already been punished. Feiyun Sect will definitely make amends to Sangri..."

Shen Sanruo interrupted Shen Daochen directly, "Stop talking nonsense. If I asked you to devote yourselves to fighting against the evil cultivators, do you think you could do it?"

The reason the Flying Cloud Sect was spared was because they still had some fighting power and could fight against evil cultivators.

If they cannot contribute, then there is no need for the Flying Cloud Sect to exist.

Shen Daochen was somewhat intimidated by Shen Sangruo's aura. When she left Feiyun Sect, she was only at the Golden Core stage, but now she was at the early Nascent Soul stage, almost catching up with him.

Stunned, she replied, "Of course, Sang Ruo, you believe your father..."

Shen Daochen's words were interrupted once again, but this time not by Shen Sangruo, but by the Wanling Palace messenger who came to deliver the message.

Shen Sangruo thus had no chance to correct Shen Daochen's self-proclaimed title.

The people from the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits arrived in a hurry, as if they had something important to discuss, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

That expression made everyone's hearts jump.

"That evil creature has made a move! Many places in the cultivation world have already been attacked by it. That evil creature is too terrifying. The cultivation world has suffered heavy losses and countless casualties!" The man was so anxious that he was about to burst into flames.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and their expressions turned solemn. The evil creature had indeed made its move!
