Shen Sangruo's expression was not good as she slowly said to everyone, "She ran away."
"I intended to burn her alive, but after the flames died down, Bai Mumu disappeared as well."
“The evil spirit withdrew all its power and protected her,” she said, stating her conjecture.
Bai Mumu was indeed rescued by the system, but the reason was slightly different from what she had imagined.
She said that flames could burn away evil spirits, and indeed, the system within Bai Mumu's body was burned by her flames, just as she had said.
The system was damaged, triggering a protection mechanism that automatically withdrew all its power and transferred Bai Mumu, the host, along with the system.
She added, "I don't know where they escaped to, but they must still be inside the secret realm."
There was only half an hour left before the team competition ended, and if they went to look for them again, they probably wouldn't be able to find them.
Once they leave the secret realm, they will surely expose her actions to the public and see how she can continue to pretend.
They first cleared the battlefield.
The rest of the Flying Cloud Sect members were used as bait to lure the Purple Gold Serpent. Each of them was covered in blood and gore and lost consciousness.
Seeing such a tragic scene, Song Weiyan clicked her tongue slightly, "She's really ruthless."
They were all her fellow clansmen and teammates, and two of them were even her fellow disciples.
Everyone looked at Luo Chu lying on the ground and shook their heads.
Shen Sanruo remained unfazed and smashed all their tokens, showing them no sympathy whatsoever.
Those who raise tigers will eventually suffer the consequences of their own actions.
Wen Xuan finally crawled to the vicinity of the group, his face appearing eerily pale due to the blood covering him.
He completely disregarded his own injuries, staring intently at Shen Sangruo, his eyes overflowing with the joy of surviving a calamity, as if he had found a priceless treasure.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, Xiaoruo, you're alright..." Wen Xuan's tone was both happy and filled with guilt.
He nearly made a terrible mistake. The thought that Shen Sangri almost died because of his stupidity felt like countless needles piercing his heart.
He was terrified.
Seeing his appearance, Ye Huai and the others clenched their fists, and Su Xiyu even stepped forward and kicked him hard.
"How dare you show your face in front of Junior Sister!" he said, raising the alchemy furnace high in his hand.
In the end, Ye Huai stopped her; Wen Xuan was still useful to them.
Mei Mei, Jiang Chu, and the others looked at him with disdain.
A prominent figure among the disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect, and a direct disciple of Master Lingxiao, ended up in such a sorry state.
People's opinion of the revered Flying Cloud Sect has changed, especially Jiang Chu, whose idealized view of the sect has been shattered.
They felt even more strongly that there must be something hidden behind those rumors about Shen Sangruo, or even that the Flying Cloud Sect did it on purpose.
Wen Xuan's voice choked with emotion, "I was wrong, Xiao Ruo. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just a little angry. I never imagined Bai Mumu could be so vicious. I..."
"Enough!" Chen Sangruo interrupted him sharply, her eyes filled with icy coldness. "How dare you try to harm my senior brothers and sisters?"
The feather fan transformed into countless sharp feathers, which, with the movement of her slender fingers, all pierced into Wen Xuan's flesh!
Without the slightest hesitation.
Wen Xuan groaned, his face contorted in pain, his lips turning deathly pale.
If she was seeking revenge for herself, even if she ripped out his heart, he wouldn't complain.
But she did it all for those people from Ninghua Sect!
Despite the excruciating pain, Wen Xuan used his last strength to shout at her hoarsely, "Xiao Ruo, we are clearly your senior brothers!"
“That’s no longer the case.” The feather returned to her hand. “Remember, I’m sparing your life to expose Bai Mumu.”
Otherwise, she would definitely kill him.
Wen Xuan slowly closed his eyes, all his emotions turning into two lines of clear tears that flowed down his cheeks.
He then fainted, and Shen Sangri left him only a breath of life.
She shattered his token, eliminating him from the secret realm.
Bai Mumu was the only one left in the Flying Cloud Sect, and their power was waning.
When the group returned to the enormous purple-gold serpent, the faint demonic aura emanating from it had vanished.
Mei Mei scanned the area with her spiritual power—a unique method used by the Heavenly Sword Sect to detect demonic energy—and then slowly shook her head after withdrawing her spiritual power.
Shen Sanruo leaped to the head of the Purple Gold Serpent and dug out its spirit core. The spirit core was crystal clear and showed no signs of being tainted by demonic energy.
If they hadn't truly felt the demonic energy, they probably would have thought it was a hallucination.
The expressions on the faces of everyone present were solemn.
This means that the most important evidence to identify Bai Mumu is gone.
"What exactly is the origin of the evil spirit on Bai Mumu's body? How could it leave no trace?" Jiang Chu rubbed his temples.
Mei Mei was more concerned about, "As the young master of the Flying Cloud Sect, and with such a close relationship with Sect Master Shen and True Person Lingxiao, how could she be associated with evil spirits?"
“I don’t know the source of the evil spirit on her either. Perhaps it has been there since she returned to the Flying Cloud Sect,” Shen Sangruo replied. “The direct evidence has disappeared. After we leave the secret realm, I will trouble you all to testify.”
This is also why she used flames to attract the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Jiang family.
Based solely on Ninghua Sect's one-sided account, it's certainly not enough to completely destroy Bai Mumu.
"Don't worry, our Heavenly Sword Sect is irreconcilably opposed to evil spirits, so naturally we will not let her go." Mei Mei's eyes revealed her hatred for evil.
Jiang Chu also expressed his agreement.
"Thank you. We still have half an hour left to search for more materials."
Mei Mei and Jiang Chu nodded. Before they left, Chen Sangruo led them to divide the treasures stored by the Purple Gold Serpent equally.
It goes without saying how much treasure the local overlord of Tiandeng region possesses.
Even if it is divided into three parts, each part has a near integral.
This surprised Mei Mei and Jiang Chu greatly. They felt that they had not done anything to deserve such a reward, and that they had not contributed much to defeating the Purple Gold Serpent. They declined the offer quite a bit.
It was Shen Sanruo who insisted that this trip had already delayed their time for collecting materials, and that they should share the spoils equally. Only then did the two accept the money.
After they left, Song Weiyan sighed, "In this sect competition, the Flying Cloud Sect probably won't even make it to second place."
"Who told Bai Mumu to be so reckless?" Su Xiyu rolled her eyes.
Then she smiled and took Chen Sangruo's arm, saying, "Anyway, our first place is secured."
"wrong."
Suddenly, Zhu Miao's voice rang out in Shen Sangruo's sea of consciousness.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
Without the system's suppression, Zhu Miao's various senses were restored.
"The Flying Cloud Sect's points are skyrocketing."
On Fengling Terrace, Gu Ci Zhenjun checked all the projection stones in the Tiandeng area but found no problems.
All that could be said to the cultivators was, "The projection in the Tiandeng area cannot be restored for the time being."
A great commotion immediately erupted on Fengling Terrace.
"What exactly happened?"
What's going on?
"Can anyone tell me what's going on inside? I'm so worried!"
