Apart from the conservative demonic cultivators who were controlled by Ya Lan, the rest of the demonic cultivators' souls were stored in a special magical artifact.
Inspired by Shang Qing and Shi Yi, she had a premonition that there might be some souls that she would need to "deal with" later, so she specially brought some magical artifacts to store souls.
And now, it's come in handy.
Let's leave it for now and deal with it slowly when she has time after she leaves the secret realm.
The phantoms of the demonic cultivators vanished quickly, as if they had never existed.
Having managed to escape, Ye Huai and the other three immediately headed towards the other side of the battlefield. Shen Sangruo did the same, wanting to help Shi Zhili quell his resentment.
But when they turned around, they found that the Tai Chu Sect phantom had completely disappeared, even faster than the demonic cultivator phantom on this side.
Feng Heyun and the other three were panting heavily, as if they had survived a disaster, and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
Shi Zhili stood firmly in front of the last disappearing phantom of the array's core, surrounded by countless points of light created by the dissipation of the phantom.
There were significantly more of them than in other places, seemingly intentionally converging around him.
He stared silently at the points of light, his reddened eyes seemingly filled with tears, his clenched hands appearing as if he were trying his best to hold back something.
After all, they were his fellow clansmen who had been trapped here for tens of thousands of years and had finally been liberated. Shi Zhili couldn't help but feel sad.
That's what everyone thought.
"You're quite something, kid." Seeing that he wasn't in a good mood, Song Weiyan took the initiative to step forward and said, "Our junior sister only taught you the soul-summoning spell once and you've already learned it."
"No," Shi Zhili denied, "It wasn't me, I didn't use any soul magic."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked puzzled.
“It was them.” Shi Zhili’s voice choked with emotion. “When I touched him with my soul power, the resentment and obsession on him and the others seemed to vanish in an instant. I didn’t use any soul magic at all.”
In that instant, he felt as if all the phantoms were looking at him, giving him incredibly familiar smiles.
Tell him: You are still alive, there are still people living in the Taichu Sect, so the Taichu Sect has not been destroyed.
How desperate they must have felt when their souls were drawn into the formation.
What a close call! The Tai Chu Sect was almost wiped out, not even a single soul remained.
All resentment and obsession vanished in that moment.
They themselves dispelled their resentment and obsession, transforming it into earnest expectations for Shi Zhili, the young sect leader, and for the future of the Taichu Sect.
However, the Taichu Sect now only has eleven members left. Apart from him, the other elders have suffered severe damage to their souls, making it even more difficult for them to recover.
But Shi Zhili did not tell these things to the phantoms.
Something seemed to solidify in his heart. As the young sect leader of the Taichu Sect, he would carry the hopes of everyone in the Taichu Sect and vow to rebuild it.
He also knew that Daoist Jingxin was pushing him toward Ninghua Sect and was prepared for the Taichu Sect to disappear.
He clenched his fist even tighter; he wouldn't let the Tai Chu Sect disappear!
It's just rebuilding a sect, isn't it? It's not like no one has ever done it before.
His gaze involuntarily fell upon Shen Sangruo.
During this time, although Ye Huai and the other three were not very willing to talk to him, he learned more or less about what Shen Sangruo had done from the other people in Ninghua Sect.
When he first heard that Ninghua Sect had been rebuilt from a destitute sect with only seven members to the powerful sect it is today, all thanks to Shen Sangruo, he thought it was an exaggeration.
But once he truly knew what she had done, he couldn't say anything more.
She also single-handedly pulled the six members of the Immortal Lord Changli out of the mud.
If not told, how could he have imagined that Ye Huai's natal sword was broken, Song Weiyan's meridians were destroyed, Bai Ruo'an was blind, Su Xiyu was poisoned, Changli Immortal Lord was left with only his physical body sleeping in an ice coffin, and Wuwei Daoist's lifespan was tied to the declining Ninghua Sect, which was about to come to an end.
This was something he couldn't discern from the current six people at all, and he was somewhat skeptical when Wuwei Daoren mentioned it.
Later on, she helped him recover from the damage to his soul, and just now, she saved him again.
Shi Zhili lowered his eyes, a very strange and complicated emotion rising in his heart.
It can be said that he was the person who paid the most attention to Shen Sangruo during this period, even more than Ye Huai and the others.
He originally intended to expose her true colors, but ended up seeing every shining moment of hers clearly, and he was the one who understood best how powerful she was.
Who understands this feeling?
What he admired most was that she hadn't been led astray by those people when she was in the Flying Cloud Sect, and had grown into the person she is today.
His prejudice against her seems to have gone too far.
She was nothing like he had imagined. He had to admit that she was truly outstanding. No wonder Ye Huai and his gang always referred to her as "our junior sister."
After his soul was restored, his vision seemed to become clear again.
I don't know why I was so hostile towards her before, and why I was so stubborn.
A hint of shame flashed in Shi Zhili's eyes.
If he were truly affected by his soul, he could use that reason to numb himself. But he knew clearly that this was his own thought, and the damage to his soul had at most amplified his thoughts.
He's wrong, he's wrong, and he won't make excuses for himself.
Now that his relationship with her has deteriorated to this point, how can he ask her to share her experience in rebuilding the sect?
For some reason, he felt that as long as he sincerely apologized, Shen Sangruo would still forgive him and pass on her experience to him.
Because it seems they don't care about his performance during this period at all, and they don't take him seriously.
Forgiving him is like casually pardoning a child who is jumping around and behaving immaturely.
Thinking of her "magnanimity," Shi Zhili felt even more ashamed.
Shen Sangruo only saw Shi Zhili looking at her with a complicated expression, and then hurriedly lowering his gaze after they met.
Ye Huai and the other three were still immersed in Shi Zhili's words, feeling a little sad.
Apart from Lu Shiqing, the other three members of the Flying Cloud Sect were still recovering from the ordeal. Only Lu Shiqing noticed Shi Zhili's strange behavior.
His face was full of vigilance and hostility.
Just as she was about to look away and ignore Shi Zhili, he seemed to have made up his mind, suddenly raised his head, and called out to her, "Chen Sangruo! I..."
boom--
A sudden loud noise interrupted Shi Zhili's words.
Shen Sanruo looked toward the source of the sound and saw a huge hole in the distant sky, with fragments falling continuously and spreading toward them!
She cried out, "The secret realm is collapsing! Get out of here!"
