As soon as the young evil spirit finished speaking, Shen Sanruo did not hesitate for a moment before her spiritual power entered his body.

The evil creature was still too fragile. In the blink of an eye, it lost its life force, and its thin body collapsed limply.

Her expression remained unchanged, and she even extracted the wisp of divine soul from the body of the young evil creature.

Her guess was correct; it was just a wisp of the soul of an evil creature that had escaped from the formation.

He held that divine soul in his palm, and it gradually dissipated.

Then use flames to burn the corpse of the young evil spirit clean, so that the villagers would not be frightened if they saw it.

The juvenile evil spirit was erased from existence as if it had never existed.

I greeted Aunt Xu and told her that the evil spirit from my childhood had been dealt with.

Aunt Xu didn't think she had done anything wrong, after all, the boy was indeed too wicked, but she couldn't hide her pity in her eyes.

She then arrived at the village entrance, a place where her memories from her previous life overlapped.

As he bid farewell to the villagers who came to see him off, he activated a spacetime spell, causing subtle distortions and fluctuations to appear in the surrounding space.

Shen Sanruo once again felt the sensation of her soul leaving her body.

Then everything went black, and a familiar feeling came to her mind—it was definitely her body in this life.

But it felt as if a giant clamp was gripping her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found the evil creature's face not far in front of her.

The hand gripping her neck tightly was also from an evil entity.

The evil creature grabbed her by the neck and lifted her into the air.

She never expected that the first scene to appear before her eyes after returning to the correct time and space would be like this.

Having experienced what happened after the reversal of time, seeing the evil creature again now evoked incredibly complex thoughts in her mind.

The evil entity was also surprised that she would suddenly open her eyes; it seemed that her soul had returned.

Moreover, the way she looked at him seemed to have changed. Her eyes were already bright, and now, with that look, they were even more similar to the person in her memory.

Even evil spirits were momentarily dazed.

But he knew that she was not herself.

The evil creature grew even more agitated, its expression hardening. It didn't want to see that look in the eyes of some random person again.

He gripped the object tighter, wanting to kill the imposter immediately.

Before Qi Yan and Immortal Lord Chang Li could even feel joy at seeing Shen Sangruo awake, they were met with the ferocious, almost man-eating gaze of the evil creature.

For a moment, everyone's eyes widened in fury.

They thought they would see Shen Sangruo's neck being snapped by an evil spirit, and their breathing and heartbeat stopped.

Unexpectedly, what they saw next was that Shen Sangruo, whose neck was being choked, reached out her hand, slowly raised it, and slapped the evil creature across the face.

Because she had been choked for too long, her body was so oxygen-deprived that she had no strength, and her blows to the evil creature's face were limp.

Snap—

A faint sound rang out, lacking much power, and the slap was also not loud.

Despite these circumstances, the news reached the ears of everyone present.

The familiar techniques and spiritual power emanating from that palm instantly ignited the evil creature's mind, leaving only a buzzing sound in its ears.

The fierce and ruthless expression vanished, leaving only trembling tremors of utter shock and helplessness.

The evil creature's grayish-white eyes widened, its pupils trembling.

Not only his pupils, but he felt his heart trembling and pounding.

The heart, long dead and dormant, was made to beat again by this slap, and it beat very fast.

"...It's...it's you?"

Looking at the face that had turned bluish-purple from lack of oxygen, the evil creature suddenly released its grip as if it had been burned by the neck it was holding.

After letting go, Chen Sangruo also lost her support and fell rapidly downwards.

Having been deprived of oxygen for too long, even after breathing fresh air again, she was unable to recover to normal in a short time and was unable to mobilize her wind-elemental power to stabilize her body.

At this moment, the evil creature finally snapped out of its deep shock and realized that Shen Sangri was gone. It had forgotten that they had been in the air just now and almost died because of its own stupidity.

He quickly summoned his clone to catch her as she fell, and then immediately gave chase.

The feeling of that slap just now made him absolutely certain that Shen Sangri was the female cultivator he had met in his childhood.

Although he didn't know why the two faces were completely different, or even like those of a different person, he was certain that:

It's definitely her, no doubt about it!

After the evil entity emerged from the formation and completed the evil cultivator's instructions to steal the system, its first action was to search for the female cultivator from back then.

So when Qi Chong was captured and kept calling for his rescue, he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention.

But even after searching every corner of the cultivation world, he couldn't find that face or that person from back then.

Unexpectedly, he had already encountered her, and she was even one of the people who released him from the formation.

The person she had been searching for for so long, he almost killed her with his own hands just now?

Fortunately, her slap came in time, allowing him to recognize her; otherwise, the entire cultivation world might not have been enough for him to kill.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?" The evil creature approached Shen Sangruo, who had been caught by the clone and landed steadily.

His concerned voice carried a hint of unease, as if he had returned to the days when he was a little kid following that female cultivator.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "You must have already guessed my identity back then, so why didn't you acknowledge me?"

He suppressed the sinister and murderous aura emanating from his body with all his might, and his voice still carried a trace of grievance.

Is it because he killed too many people that she doesn't want to acknowledge him?

The evil creature recalled the words Shen Sangruo had told him years ago: good and evil cannot coexist. Yet now he had completely transformed into a killing monster.

She definitely won't talk to him anymore.

Thinking of this, the evil creature's already pale and sickly face turned even paler.

The sharp teeth pierced the lower lip, almost tearing through the skin.

She felt even more uneasy; he had disappointed her, and he had still come this far.

But he also had some doubts, because before Shen Sangruo woke up, every time she looked at him, she looked at him as if he were a complete stranger.

That look in her eyes couldn't be faked; it was as if she had only just truly recognized him.

Why is that?

From the perspective of the evil being, he had known Shen Sangruo for hundreds of years, so how could she not recognize him?

In front of Shen Sangruo, the evil creature was like a child who had done something wrong, feeling uneasy and aggrieved.

Such a scene led Immortal Lord Changli and Fairy Qingluan to believe that they were hallucinating.

The intense, almost rage-filled look turned into a head full of question marks.

Even the four Qi Yan who were fighting were stunned and distracted, and were almost hit by those clones.

What's going on?

They naturally overheard the evil creature's words. Shen Sangri actually knew the evil creature? When did this happen? Why didn't they know?
