But after searching everywhere, I could not find that familiar figure.

Even the snake woman and the Kui Niu could not sense her presence; their contractual relationship had been dissolved long ago when Shen Sangruo decided to sacrifice everything to summon the Heavenly Dao.

Their joy was instantly washed away by the cold water.

What price will she pay for purging evil spirits and resurrecting the dead—two almost impossible feats?

Thinking of this, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Finally, based on the clues from other survivors, they discovered a cluster of flames in the sky above Ninghua Sect.

Immortal Lord Changli and the others were stunned.

"How...how could she be reduced to just a single flame?" Their eyes trembled uncontrollably.

Zhu Yu and the others, who witnessed the whole thing, told Changli Immortal Lord and the others everything that had happened.

"She was a spark born from the cultivation world. After burning everything to summon the Heavenly Dao, only this wisp of divine soul remained as a flame."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Changli and the others remained stunned for a long time.

They could never have imagined that Shen Sanruo would shoulder so much alone after their deaths.

I never imagined that her background was like this.

“Then… Junior Sister…” Su Xiyu looked at the slowly flickering flame, her eyes already filled with tears.

With the soul so severely damaged, it's practically impossible...

Faint sobs could be heard from the crowd gathered around the flames.

Third update! Thank you so much for your support! *tweets*

They're all alive! They're all alive! I promise not a single one will be missing. I'm bowing to you all now, bang bang bang!
