A hole appeared in the barrier formed by the power of the divine soul, and Lu Shiqing was placed next to the hole.
Everyone then saw the soul viruses rushing into Lu Shiqing's body, a scene that sent chills down their spines.
Lu Shiqing's expression became even more distorted. His body was tormented by the Seven Emotions Gu, and his soul was being attacked by a virus that was constantly multiplying.
The pain caused by this double torment is unimaginable.
Lu Shiqing's pupils were already unfocused, but they still stubbornly looked in the direction of Chen Sangruo.
Soon, most of the soul virus had entered Lu Shiqing's body.
This had reached the limit that Lu Shiqing could withstand, but there was still a portion of the soul virus remaining.
If the remaining soul viruses are not dealt with quickly, they will continue to replicate and multiply rapidly.
Shen Sanruo and the others from the Wanling Palace worked together to use their divine soul power to seal Lu Shiqing's body, temporarily controlling the divine soul virus within him.
"What should we do with the remaining soul viruses?" Shi Zhili asked.
Her gaze fell on Wen Xuan beside her. Wen Xuan's face had turned pale upon seeing Lu Shiqing's miserable state.
"Are you going to walk there yourself, or should I help you?" she said coldly. "You two caused this mess together, do you think you can escape it?"
Wen Xuan intended to atone for his sins with his death, but he never thought of sacrificing his soul as well.
"Xiao Ruo..." Wen Xuan's face was full of sorrow and his voice was full of pleading.
It seems to be asking if she really intends to treat him this way.
He wanted to rekindle any remaining feelings she had for him.
"If we had introduced it earlier, the number of Soul Viruses would have been smaller, and it might have been able to hold out until we found a way to deal with them."
"If it's too late, you'll have to choose for yourself, just like Lu Shiqing. In any case, you're the one affected by the soul virus."
Of course, he was only given the option to choose when to introduce the virus; he did not have the right to choose not to introduce the Divine Soul Virus.
Meeting Shen Sangri's cold, slightly impatient eyes, Wen Xuan's heart sank completely.
He knew that he couldn't escape it today no matter what.
Indeed, he is responsible for the current situation, and he should bear the consequences.
Moreover, he didn't want to leave Shen Sangruo with an image of cowardice and recklessness before he died, since her image was already bad enough.
Wen Xuan gripped the jade token in his hand tightly, his whole body shrouded in an extremely thick layer of sorrow.
He only hoped that he could hold on until she found a solution, then give her the jade token and win back her affections.
This was the only thought in his mind.
"I'll be right there, Xiaoruo." She tried to force a smile, but couldn't manage it.
Wen Xuan took a deep breath, turned around, with his back to Shen Sangruo, and walked step by step toward the soul virus.
My mood plummeted to its lowest point.
He didn't know how he got there; he was in a completely dazed state.
He only came to his senses when the soul virus entered his body and he felt waves of stinging pain coming from his soul.
He could feel the soul virus increasing wildly, rapidly spreading throughout his soul.
It attacked his soul bit by bit, causing his head to ache and feel indescribably uncomfortable.
At this rate, he will disappear from this world completely in just one month.
He gripped the jade token tighter, his mind filled only with the sound of his heart pounding wildly, which he could not calm no matter how deep he tried to take a breath.
If, if he doesn't live to find a solution, he will definitely give the travel token to Xiao Ru while he is still conscious.
Shen Sangruo sealed the soul virus inside Wen Xuan's body as usual.
Then, Lu Shiqing and Wen Xuan were taken to the forbidden area of Ninghua Sect and placed under strict guard.
The remaining issues are: the evil entity, the whereabouts of the group of evil cultivators, and the soul virus.
The evil creature failed to appear for a long time. Qing Shu and Xuan Ye searched for it but could not find any trace of it. Chen Sangruo also could not figure out its methods.
However, since Qi Chong has already declared that the evil creature will turn the cultivation world upside down, it will appear sooner or later, probably very soon.
We can only take precautions for now; the situation is somewhat passive.
The group sat in the main hall of Ninghua Sect, discussing relevant matters.
"Where do you think those evil cultivators are trapped, and why are they trapped?" Song Weiyan stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.
This was the most crucial piece of information they had gathered this time.
They had previously assumed that the evil cultivators didn't want to come out, but based on Bai Mumu's earlier words, the actual situation was that those evil cultivators were unable to come out.
No wonder they couldn't find the whereabouts of the heretical cultivators no matter what they did.
"Could it be that even the Heavenly Dao can't stand their numerous evil deeds and has trapped them?" Fang Yu speculated seriously. "They want to drain the spiritual energy of the cultivation world, but they also want to move freely. They can't have all the good things, can they?"
"I don't think the Heavenly Dao has the time or inclination to concern itself with these matters," Su Xiyu said, expressing her doubts about the Heavenly Dao.
After hearing Su Xiyu's words, Shen Sanruo remembered that she had originally wanted to take advantage of this breakthrough to try to "meet" the Heavenly Dao again.
However, Bai Mumu and Qi Chong interfered, causing them to miss their chance.
She still doesn't understand what Heaven is trying to tell her.
Her intuition told her that it must be related to evil cultivators or the cultivation world.
She didn't know if the current situation would allow her to wait for her next breakthrough; she could only leave the matter of fate to chance.
"If we disregard the Heavenly Dao, who else can trap those evil cultivators?" Ye Huai asked calmly.
At that time, only Ninghua Sect and Taichu Sect could contend with the evil cultivators, but they did not know the true purpose of the evil cultivators, so it was impossible for them to have done it.
It couldn't possibly be one of the five divine beasts. One was soaking in the Misty Abyss, one was staying in the fake space, one was hiding in its shell, and the other two hadn't shown themselves yet.
Besides these people, who else could it be?
After her thoughts wandered for a moment, Shen Sangruo came back to her senses, and another guess surfaced in her mind.
She blinked. "Maybe what's trapping them is themselves?"
"Those who should be excluded have been excluded, leaving only themselves."
"Perhaps they wanted to do something else, but in the end, they ended up trapping themselves."
“It’s not impossible that things could backfire,” Bai Ruoan nodded.
Everyone thought this speculation was very likely.
"The fact that the heretical cultivator is trapped is good news for us," said Immortal Lord Changli.
At least there are limitations on evil cultivators, and these limitations are so strong that even those who have monopolized so much spiritual energy cannot break free from them.
After further discussion, the group deduced several possible hiding places for the evil cultivators, but that was all the clues they had gathered so far.
