With just a little force, the evil creature could easily snap Shen Sangruo's neck.

He didn't care whether the body in his hands contained a soul or not; as long as he destroyed her body and prevented her from ever slapping again, he would be satisfied.

If Shen Sanruo were still open at this moment, he would definitely gouge out those bright eyes that he found dazzling.

An irritation rose in the evil creature's heart, and it gradually increased the pressure on its hands, determined to make Chen Sangri disappear from this world completely.

Meanwhile, Shen Sangruo's soul...

Because the boy voluntarily allowed her to explore, which was equivalent to granting her permission, the force that was preventing her from doing so was no longer there.

Shen Sanruo easily detected the boy's true soul.

But the moment she touched the boy's soul, her body instantly stiffened.

The voices that were clamoring in the boy's mind surged towards her like a tide, following the power of her soul.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"They don't deserve to live in this world, they should be chopped into mincemeat!"

"How interesting it would be to break their limbs and watch them writhe and crawl on the ground!"

"What do you think would happen if we threw that child into a fire in front of his parents?"

"No, no, no, I don't think that's enough. His parents should also eat him while he's roasted!"

"..."

Shen Sanruo felt a bone-chilling cold spread from the soles of her feet, quickly engulfing her entire body in a short time.

Evil thoughts, countless poisonous evil thoughts, overwhelmed her, suffocating her.

She considered herself to have a strong enough will, but now, after only experiencing it through the power of her soul, her hands and feet were already cold.

The boy, however, endures these sounds every moment, perhaps even in his dreams.

Those words were extremely seductive, like poison, permeating the boy's mind every moment.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as mental pollution; the purpose was to brainwash him.

Driven by these voices, the boy naturally became tainted by evil thoughts and enveloped by murderous intent.

Only by doing what those voices say can those voices disappear.

Until all those voices disappeared, he himself became completely one with those voices.

He won't need those voices to urge him on; he will continue to kill on his own.

Just as the boy said, he was born wicked and destined to be associated with evil.

Shen Sanruo's eyes darkened, and upon sensing these surging evil thoughts, she almost instantly thought of one person—

That evil entity that is currently wreaking havoc in the cultivation world a hundred years from now.

It must be him, there's no mistake!

Shen Sangruo was absolutely certain that these voices were perfectly in sync with the evil entity.

She widened her eyes slightly, seemingly shocked by her own conclusion, before her expression became extremely serious.

She took a closer look at the boy in front of her, who was staring at her intently with a vulnerable look in his eyes.

The boy's body was unusually thin, which they thought was due to malnutrition, but now it looked exactly like the emaciated body of that evil creature.

The reason she had never associated the boy with the evil entity before was mainly because the evil entity was only released by her and Mei Mei and others hundreds of years later.

She assumed that before this, evil spirits could not leave the formation, and since the boy was indeed just an ordinary child who knew nothing, she did not suspect that he was an evil spirit.

She never imagined that the evil creature had only developed consciousness hundreds of years ago.

Now it seems that this is undoubtedly the juvenile form of the evil creature, and it is unknown how it slipped out of the formation in advance.

One of the estimated conditions is that he cannot have any cultivation or skill; he can only be a mortal.

"Now that you know, how will you treat me?" The boy, no, the young evil, stared at her expectantly, his eyes filled with anxiety.

You could tell at a glance that he was feeling uneasy.

He revealed his truest self to her, because her divine power brought a touch of color to his unchanging darkness.

It showed him what he once thought was the most elusive thing—hope.

It was also because he sensed that the "leaving" Shen Sangruo mentioned was not simply leaving the village; he worried that he would never find her again.

Thus, their hopes were dashed.

He was also thinking, maybe, just maybe, he could use this to get rid of this kind of life?

He knew that the female cultivator in front of him would understand his situation through the probe she had just performed.

This allows one to more deeply understand what he meant by "not his original intention".

He was forcibly created by those people; he was neither human nor ghost, a monster filled with murderous intent.

He had no choice at all; if he could, he would rather he had never existed in this world.

Why should the evil entity be him?

The heretical cultivators wanted to create a sentient being, powerful enough to destroy the cultivation world.

However, they did not expect that the evil entity possessed too much self-awareness and would think about why it existed, just like a real person.

The result was the opposite; instead, it made the evil creatures want to fight back and gradually escape their control.

The young evil spirit resembled a prisoner, quietly and nervously awaiting Shen Sangruo's verdict.

Soon, he heard her speak.

“You have indeed endured too much, but you must die.” Her voice was completely flat.

The child demon felt as if it had been sentenced to death, and its spirits plummeted to rock bottom.

He looked closely at her expression, but there wasn't even a trace of the conflict he wanted to see on her face.

"If possible, I hope that in your next life you will not be ensnared by these evil thoughts and will have a free life."

Evil beings are born from countless evil thoughts; they are created for evil.

No matter what method is used, his life can no longer be saved; his future is already set in stone.

It would be better to let him be free sooner.

Moreover, in another time and space at this very moment, the evil creature has already killed so many people, almost bringing a catastrophe to the cultivation world.

She couldn't bring herself to show mercy to the little evil creature before her.

Although she knew that killing the little evil creature might not make a difference, the evil creature still appeared hundreds of years later.

Even weakening the evil creatures a little is a small amount, and killing a minor evil creature will inevitably affect the future evil creatures.

The young evil spirit lowered his eyes. In his previous words, Shen Sanruo had already told him about her choice.

She won't hold back; she'll send him off to have a life that truly belongs to him as soon as possible.

Yes, people like him deserve to die.

But he also knew that he wouldn't die, and that was what caused him the most pain.

"I understand. Just kill me, so as not to delay your departure," the young evil creature said, giving up resistance.
