Shen Sangruo could only describe Bai Mumu's plan as "dying before achieving its goal."
She smiled and said, "I have to thank you for taking the rest of the lightning tribulations for me. I remember it was eighteen lightning tribulations."
Hearing her mention this made Bai Mumu feel even more upset, and her face became distorted.
As for what Bai Mumu gained from this soul exchange, her disguise was exposed on the spot, she didn't kill anyone, and she was forced to withstand eighteen lightning tribulations.
The thought that she had actually done things for Chen Sangruo made her so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood.
Bai Mumu could only continue to be stubborn, trying to regain some ground, "So what? You've already exchanged souls with me!"
"You'll never be able to switch back! From now on, you'll live in this body! If you don't want to be a useless person, you'll have to start all over again from scratch!"
"It must feel terrible to go through all that effort to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, only to end up with nothing to show for it?"
"But I easily acquired your cultivation level. How about that? Aren't you dying of jealousy?"
"Yes, how can we get Junior Sister's soul back?" Su Xiyu asked with a worried expression, pointing out the key issue.
They had heard of the evil art of exchanging souls, but they didn't know the specific methods. Moreover, this soul exchange was operated by the system, so they had no idea what method was used.
How to get her soul back is indeed a tricky problem.
However, Shen Sanruo remained completely calm, unmoved by Bai Mumu's words.
"Although I don't know how to switch my soul back, there are other ways to get my soul back into my body besides switching souls."
Exchanging souls is complicated, but returning to one's own body is easy, isn't it?
"Swapping souls is very difficult, but what if I don't do it?"
"Tell me, if I were to shatter your soul directly, wouldn't I be able to return to my body?" Her smile turned malicious.
With Bai Mumu's face, she actually has a bit of a villainous vibe.
Do you think I care whether you live or die?
"Of course not," Song Weiyan answered for her, her voice also carrying a hint of mischief.
The others suddenly realized that they had been confused by their concern and had almost been led astray by Bai Mumu.
Shen Sanruo looked at "herself" and her face turned pale instantly.
Bai Mumu's pupils dilated in shock. For her, the past few years seemed to have been skipped in one click. The time when her soul was scattered by Chen Sangruo was still fresh in her mind, as if it had just happened yesterday.
Fear enveloped her completely, and after a long pause, she could only manage to utter one sentence: "How could you, how could you do this!"
Previously, the evil cultivators had exaggerated the power of the soul-swapping spell, claiming that they had absolutely no way to swap souls back.
Once the exchange is complete, she can replace Shen Sangruo forever, a conclusion Bai Mumu wholeheartedly agrees with.
But this is how things have turned out.
The opponent rejected your strategy and shattered it with a single punch.
"More than getting your soul back, I want to know where your system went and why it's not helping you get out of this mess anymore?"
Shen Sanruo composed herself, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness.
This is the important thing.
Immortal Lord Changli and the others also realized this, and their expressions all became serious.
On the way here, Wen Xuan told her that Bai Mumu's current system is very strange.
He had heard the system speak before, as if a living person were inside it.
But they all knew that the old system was not a living thing; everything was done according to a program.
It must be inextricably linked to heretical practices.
Shen Sangruo even suspected that Bai Mumu's current system might be that of an evil cultivator who used some means to replace the system with his own soul.
This is very likely their first real encounter with heretical cultivators, and also the only clue they currently possess about them.
If used properly, it might be possible to follow the clues and find the lair of the heretical cultivators.
And that evil entity, though it has made no move so far, remains like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the cultivation world.
They need to figure out as soon as possible what those evil cultivators want to do.
Therefore, the system's affairs are more important than the soul returning to its rightful place.
"What business is it of yours how my system is?" Mentioning the system that had lost contact with her and had not responded since, Bai Mumu felt a surge of anger again.
However, they also sensed a slight danger and refused to reveal any information.
"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. Asking you this question was just a formality anyway." Shen Sanruo had already gathered divine soul power in her hand. "If I want to know something, I'll find it myself."
The power of her soul entered Bai Mumu's brow, and her face immediately contorted in pain.
This feeling was very familiar, exactly the same as when Shen Sangri tore the system out of her soul.
Bai Mumu never expected that she would experience this feeling a second time.
Upon detecting that the system was still within Bai Mumu's soul, Chen Sangruo felt much more at ease.
She could sense that the system was indeed different from before, so she increased the output of her divine soul power in an attempt to expose the system.
However, she soon felt that the system was emitting a force that was resisting her soul power.
It was the same force that attacked her when she was undergoing her tribulation.
This was something that didn't happen during the last system removal process. A system without life consciousness wouldn't resist when being removed, which made her even more certain that there was something wrong with the current system.
The system seemed to be gambling with all its power in a desperate gamble, so that power was exceptionally strong, even comparable to her divine soul power.
Shen Sangruo focused her gaze, frowned slightly, and continued to increase the output of her divine soul power without making a sound. She even borrowed Xiao Hei's divine soul power.
Such a fierce confrontation was beyond Bai Mumu's ability to withstand; her soul was almost torn apart by these two forces.
Its condition changed from a distorted face to constantly emitting painful screams.
"It hurts! It hurts so much! Ahhh!"
"Stop! My soul! Stop now!"
But the evil cultivator didn't care about Bai Mumu's life or death at all, and continued to release his power.
The moment Bai Mumu's disguise was exposed, he had already decided to give up on her.
Just as he was trying to figure out how to escape from Bai Mumu's soul, Chen Sangruo rushed over, wanting to drag him out.
It's all this damned system's fault. It can't break free on its own. By the time the evil cultivator finally found a way to shatter Bai Mumu's soul and unbind her, he was already trapped.
Shen Sanruo's divine soul power trapped him tightly; even if it couldn't separate him, it was enough to prevent him from escaping.
The evil cultivator hadn't expected her divine soul power to be so strong; even after using up all his remaining energy, he couldn't break through her encirclement.
At this moment, the evil cultivator cursed inwardly, "It's that Shen Sangruo again! She ruined my plans once more!"
