The meaning behind Bai Mumu's words was self-evident.
"I have sealed Shen Sanruo's soul power with the system, so she has no way to resist Lu Shiqing."
“A madman like Lu Shiqing, if he had a soul, would definitely try every means to find a body for her and then keep her by his side.”
Bai Mumu concealed Shen Sangruo's soul within her body to prevent them from guessing that the two had swapped souls.
"Oh, even with a body, Chen Sangruo can't speak."
"From this day forward, they will be Daoist partners, and will stay together for life in a place unknown to you."
"A mute person paired with a cripple, how about that? Don't you guys find it interesting?"
No one expected that Bai Mumu would be so shameless.
They could tolerate what had been said before, but handing over Shen Sangruo's soul to Lu Shiqing truly alarmed them.
According to Bai Mumu, Shen Sanruo's soul has been with Lu Shiqing for at least several days.
Bai Mumu took over Shen Sangruo's body during her tribulation, and it took her several days to take the tribulation in her place.
These few days are enough time for Lu Shiqing to find her a new body.
They had all witnessed Lu Shiqing's madness, and they dared not imagine what Chen Sangruo's current situation was like.
At this moment, Immortal Lord Changli and the others were truly enraged.
Shi Zhili had already gripped the red-tasseled spear in his hand, wishing he could pierce Bai Mumu through, but seeing her face, he could only hold the spear tightly.
His knuckles turned white from the force he used, which was enough to show his anger at that moment.
"How dare you?!" Qi Yan's eyes were filled with gloom, as if he had turned back into the demonic figure from the Misty Abyss.
Bai Mumu remained calm and composed. "You shouldn't ask me this question. You should ask Lu Shiqing and see if he dares to do it."
"Of course he would dare. After all, he's already cooperated with an evil spirit like me to get Chen Sangruo. What else wouldn't he do?"
"Quickly send someone to find Lu Shiqing. He's such a big man, I don't believe he can hide anywhere." Qingluan Fairy's voice brought the crowd back to their senses from their rage.
Finding Lu Shiqing would lead them to Shen Sangruo; this was the only piece of information they had.
The Ninghua Sect is currently experiencing suppression and anger.
On Shen Sangruo's side, after several days of trying to break through the barrier, she finally managed to remove the enchantment surrounding the cave.
At this moment, Lu Shiqing was still rolling on the ground, making sounds that seemed to be in pain and also like madness.
The pain that the Seven Emotions Gu brought to Lu Shiqing increased daily with his obsessive love.
In just a few days, he had reached the point of being delirious.
Wen Xuan had also woken up, and when he realized that the person in Bai Mumu's body was her, his whole body stiffened abruptly.
He is different from Lu Shiqing; he still has some conscience and knows how despicable his actions are.
At this moment, being caught by Chen Sangruo, his heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and his expression became extremely stiff.
What he did was even worse than what Lu Shiqing and Luo Chu had done to their companions in the formation. He knew that his Xiao Ruo would never forgive him.
After doing such a thing, he no longer even had the right to appear in front of Shen Sangruo.
He had already obtained the travel token, he had sacrificed so much, given up a wisp of his soul, and been tormented by Bai Mumu for so many days, so why was this the result?
Wen Xuan's eyes filled with tears, and he said in a panicked voice, "Xiao Ruo, Xiao Ruo, let me explain, it's not like that!"
He was unwilling to accept this and tried to change Shen Sangruo's opinion of him.
"I had no idea what they were going to do, I didn't know they would swap your soul! I just wanted to get the jade token and win back your feelings for me!"
"If I had known what they were planning, I would never have gone along with them, and I would have stopped them from hurting you!"
He had already been tortured unconscious by Bai Mumu during the time Bai Mumu began the ceremony, so he really didn't know.
Little did they know that his wisp of soul had served as a medium for exchanging souls.
What did he do?!
He said he would never hurt Xiao Ruo again, but now he's helped Bai Mumu and Lu Shiqing swap her soul.
A wave of regret spread through his heart, turning into sharp needles that pierced his soul.
He was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
"Xiao Ruo, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hurt you, I'm so sorry..."
Wen Xuan's tears flowed like a burst dam as he desperately tried to explain to her.
He held the jade token tightly in his hand, its edges deeply embedded in his flesh, leaving bloody marks.
"No need to say anything more, Wen Xuan. The moment you took this step, you should have thought about what your fate would be." Shen Sanruo's cold voice was flat, her gaze utterly indifferent.
Wen Xuan concealed the truth and joined in, aiding and abetting evil; his fate was sealed.
"I know." Wen Xuan wiped away his tears, his smile extremely bitter, knowing that no matter how he explained, it would be useless.
“Having committed such a grave mistake, I have no intention of living any longer. I am willing to accept any punishment, Xiao Ruo.”
"Afterwards, I will end my own life to atone for my actions."
He pretended to be calm, but his heart was trembling with pain. He had no more expectations, only hoping to win back Shen Sangruo's feelings for him, then he would have no regrets in this life.
Wen Xuan made up his mind.
"But before that, let me go to Ninghua Sect with you first and resolve this matter, okay?"
“I was involved in pushing this matter forward. If it cannot be resolved before I die, I will not die in peace.”
“Bai Mumu is still in Ninghua Sect. I know you’re worried about them. With my help, it will be easier for you to leave Feiyun Sect.”
To leave the Flying Cloud Sect, one must pass through two layers of restrictions: one from Zhenlin Peak and the other from the Flying Cloud Sect.
With only the power of her soul and Bai Mumu's face, Shen Sanruo's movements within the Feiyun Sect are extremely inconvenient.
With Wen Xuan covering for her, things will be easier.
“Okay, but you have to bring him along.” She gestured for Wen Xuan to look at Lu Shiqing, who was still wailing over there.
She was going to take Lu Shiqing away and deal with him herself.
At this moment, Wen Xuan no longer felt any brotherly affection for Lu Shiqing. Seeing his appearance, he could roughly guess what had happened.
He had no intention of rescuing Lu Shiqing, but said with concern, "The way he is, I'm afraid he's attracting too much attention."
Without saying a word, Shen Sang kicked Lu Shiqing unconscious, and the cave instantly fell silent. "Is it alright now?"
"That's enough." Wen Xuan gave a gentle smile, just like before, as if nothing had ever happened.
But beneath the smile lay an endless sorrow and loneliness.
He knew this was his last chance to walk side by side with Shen Sangruo.
