The once boundless, dark forest had vanished, replaced by a rugged ravine. Upon closer inspection, this scorched, rugged ravine was the very place they had previously teleported to via the array.
Due to the sudden surge of spiritual energy, patches of lush greenery spread out from a deep ravine, and flowers, grasses, and trees were slowly growing.
“The spiritual energy will wash away the evil here.”
Someone uttered these words softly.
Hundreds of years ago, those people whose flesh and blood were drained by this land have finally become a thing of the past.
The couple who were turned into conjoined corpses had also completed their final mission.
Niannian said, "The Burning Heart Spring has been destroyed. There is a small spiritual vein suppressed beneath the Burning Heart Spring. It must have been made by those people hundreds of years ago to refine the Lianli Corpse."
"Now that the Scorching Heart Spring is destroyed, the spiritual veins have finally been released, and from now on, this place will be a blessed land."
This time, the green grass spread undisturbed.
Instead, they stepped back, allowing the plants to cover the entire area.
Meng Wanwan looked at the huge sword, some vines had already climbed up it, marking the sword with the marks of time.
Helian Xiao finally found the Helian family members in a forest, which put his mind at ease.
They gained nothing from this trip. On the contrary, the Han family was wiped out, and only a small portion of the Mirage's people remained; their leader, Chi Yun, was dead.
The Shangguan family suffered some injuries, but thanks to Shangguan Liuyue's protection, no one was killed.
The Helian family members were the first to be thrown out by the Han family, and surprisingly, there were no casualties.
So Helian Xiao began writing the investigation results.
He didn't dare disturb Meng Xiuyi, so he simply pulled Meng Wanwan away.
Meng Wanwan was followed by Lan Qiao, and Lan Qiao was followed by Chu You and Yun Zhao.
Helian Xiao connected the dots with her and said, "The Venerable Lingsu recorded in the history book you showed us should be Xun Lingsu, the daughter of the Xun family. The history book says that her spiritual root was created from nothing. So, after she was picked up by the former sect leader, she used the Soul Refining Bead. I think that's also why she later wanted to refine the Lianli Corpse, because she was the beneficiary."
Meng Wanwan frowned: "Then, where did she get that Soul Refining Bead in her hand?"
Helian Xiao guessed, "It's possible that the Han family gave it to us... However, there's another possibility."
He stared intently at Meng Wanwan: "It was given by Zhu Haishan. Do you remember something from the scroll? The reason the Xun family used to propose marriage was that their daughter had spiritual roots, but according to historical records, she didn't have spiritual roots at the time."
"If Zhu Haishan wants the Xun family to protect Zhu Ting from disaster, then he must show sincerity. Otherwise, the Xun family would not risk the extermination of their clan to do that. We do not know whether the Scroll of All Heavens is real or fake, but it has spiritual roots, so it must not be fake."
“But she still hated Sister Ting after all,” Meng Wanwan said with a sullen face.
“At dawn, and just as we expected, that tea tree has become sentient, and…” They looked at Meng Xiuyi, who was standing quietly not far away.
Helian Xiao sighed: "Judging from what that old nanny from the Han family said, Xun Lingsu wanted to curry favor with the Han family back then... So our previous suspicions can be explained."
"According to existing historical records, the Han family was established after the war between gods and demons. Therefore, we can rule out that the Han family mentioned by Baili Chuan is not the current Han family. However, it seems that the Han family at that time was already doing bad things in secret."
"The Han family that Zhu Ting belongs to should be the Han family of today."
Meng Wanwan sneered: "In fact, Xun Lingsu told the Han family everything about the Soul Refining Pearl, otherwise Fuxiao and Chashu wouldn't have been refined into conjoined corpses. As for the method of refining it... I suspect that Xun Lingsu colluded with the Han family earlier than we guessed, so it's not an accident that she appeared at Linggu Gate."
Helian Xiao completely agreed: "The Han family used Xun Lingsu to refine the Lianli Corpse, but as we have seen, the Lianli Corpse was sealed, and the Soul Refining Pearl was hidden in the bracelet by that person, waiting for someone to discover it... Therefore, Xun Lingsu was killed by the Han family because she did not do what the Han family needed."
Although this was just speculation, they couldn't think of any other way to connect these things.
Even though they were used to fighting and killing in this chaotic world, they still felt a chill in their hearts at this moment.
Meng Wanwan said, "Xun Lingsu must hate Sister Ting very much... She cooperated with the Han family to create the Lianli Corpse using the flowers that Sister Ting raised."
This is impossible to verify. In fact, they even suspect that the Xun family may have done something excessive back then, which led Xun Lingsu to choose to cooperate with the Han family that destroyed them.
Everything has faded into the dust and been forgotten by time.
Meng Wanwan looked up at the sky: "Just how terrible were they back then... that the whole world chose to forget them?"
Was the person who sealed the Linggu Gate Zhu Ting?
What is the relationship between Zhuting and the battle between gods and demons?
Meng Wanwan has discovered that the memories of those who survived from that era are gradually fading. However, the truth they uncovered and the memories passed down orally will not disappear.
Sure enough, someone must have tampered with it.
"Baby." A clear voice sounded from behind.
Meng Wanwan turned around and saw that Meng Xiuyi had been standing beside them at some point, looking at them with a gentle smile on her face.
"We should go."
Meng Wanwan nodded. In any case, the Han family and Mirage would definitely care about the survivors because of the loss of life.
With Shangguan Liuyue watching over the Shangguan family, there probably won't be any problems.
But the situation with the mirage is hard to predict.
If the Han family wants to find a target, it will definitely be the Meng family.
Yes, it's time to go.
They're running for their lives!
As for the Shangguan family and the people from Shenlou, they went to settle accounts with the Han family first, which gave the Meng family a chance to escape.
Hehehe!
Helian Xiao said worriedly, "Why don't you come back with me? This whole thing wasn't your fault."
Meng Xiuyi smiled and shook her head: "The Helian family also needs an explanation, so we won't go."
Before Helian Xiao could say anything, Meng Xiuyi raised her hand to interrupt him: "Young Master Helian, please give my regards to Senior Helian."
Helian Xiao also had something on his mind and was anxious to report, but seeing his resolute attitude, he did not press the matter further.
He tossed Meng Wanwan's hair in his hand and said reluctantly, "Little girl, I'll come find you when I'm done with my work."
As he spoke, he took out a medium and gave it to Meng Wanwan.
"Take this, it'll make it easier to stay in touch."
This time, Meng Wanwan answered, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Have a safe trip, Uncle. I hope that when we meet again, you will have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Helian Xiao flicked her forehead with his finger: "You brat, is it so easy to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? Humph, I'll only be seventeen in a few days, I'm not in a hurry."
Meng Xiuyi turned her head and saw someone walking towards them.
He said calmly, "Let's go."
After saying that, the entire Meng family disappeared.
Helian Xiao grinned, showing his big teeth, when he saw the bewildered people from the Mirage across from him.
He shouldered his greatsword and shouted, "Let's go!"
