“Okay.” Shen Sanruo replied, she could guess why the evil thing would make such a request.
"Let's go back to Ninghua Sect. This place isn't suitable for sleeping either."
Immortal Lord Changli and the others were all seriously injured, and only a few of them could barely stand up now.
She asked Qi Yan and the other three to stay behind and help them return to Ninghua Sect to treat their injuries.
She went to deal with the evil spirits first.
The evil creature looked at the injured people, all of whom were his victims and had a good relationship with Shen Sangruo.
He whispered, "I'm so sorry for their injuries."
He also knew that verbal apologies were useless, and the best way for him to atone was to disappear from this world.
He was a killing tool created by those evil cultivators. With his death, their scheme to seize control of the cultivation world using him failed.
The two returned to Ninghua Sect. Upon seeing the evil creature, the remaining members of the sect immediately sounded alarms and prepared to attack.
But seeing that Shen Sangruo beside the evil creature looked as usual, she gave them a look that indicated they didn't need to worry.
Although he was still uneasy, he chose to trust her and did not launch an attack.
She brought the evil object to the Ninghua Sect's guest reception room and randomly chose a room.
He gestured towards the bed in the room, "Sleep now. I will stay here with you and use my divine power to suppress those evil thoughts in your mind."
May you have a good night's sleep in the last moments of your life.
"Okay." The evil creature didn't hesitate and simply lay down on the bed.
He added, "This bed is much softer than the one in the village back then."
"So why didn't you recognize me before? Why did you change your appearance?" The evil creature abruptly changed the subject.
His voice also carried a stubbornness unique to children.
"Have you forgotten me, or do you simply not want to acknowledge me?"
It's as if they absolutely have to get the answer to this question.
Shen Sanruo didn't intend to hide anything and told the truth, "I did recognize you after I woke up."
The evil creature suddenly opened its closed eyes, a hint of resentment in its gaze.
“But I only just met you,” she continued.
"What do you mean?" The evil creature's eyes turned puzzled.
"Do you remember that cultivator who tried to reverse time after falling from grace?"
She didn't say it explicitly, but based on that one sentence alone, the evil entity realized, "You mean, he reversed your time and space? Was your soul leaving your body that day because of this?"
“My soul returned to my previous life, possessed my previous self, and met you in that village.”
Hundreds of years ago, the one who encountered the evil entity was actually her from hundreds of years in the future.
Therefore, it's not an exaggeration for her to say that she had just met the evil entity.
"So that's how it is..." the evil creature murmured softly.
What was hundreds of years of torment for him was but a fleeting moment for Shen Sangruo.
It doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't fail to recognize him or doesn't want to.
Shen Sanruo's lips curled into a slight smile. "How could I not recognize you?"
After all, he had been slapped so many times in just a few days.
In the end, she even killed him with her own hands, and even that wisp of his soul was...
"Have you ever seen the evil cultivators who created you? Do you know where they are? Do you know anything about them?"
The experience after reversing time not only brought about a turning point in the matter of the evil entity, but also brought it to her side.
Perhaps we can learn more from the evil creature.
The evil creature was the last plan devised by that group of evil cultivators. After the evil creature's deed was done, the evil cultivators had no more schemes to employ.
The only option is to come out in person and confront them head-on.
Even now, they still don't know where the lair of those evil cultivators is.
“I’ve never seen them.” The evil creature shook its head.
If Qi Chong wants him to do something, a voice will directly appear in his mind to notify him.
"But I can sense that their aura is both very far from and very close to the cultivation world."
He controls all the evil energy in the cultivation world, and evil cultivators will all have evil energy on them.
Especially those ancient things from ten thousand years ago, their sinister aura is like the source of all evil.
Logically speaking, given his control over yin and evil energy, he should be able to easily sense the location of those old things.
Before he dies, he will surely kill those who created him, and make them die with him.
He could only vaguely sense their presence, and couldn't even pinpoint their location, yet he could definitely feel their presence.
"Very far from the cultivation world, yet very close?" Shen Sanruo unconsciously frowned.
"Well, that's all the information I have."
As a tool for killing, one is naturally not qualified to know anything else in the plan.
Shen Sanruo stopped pressuring him and said softly, "Go to sleep."
The evil entity responded, closed its eyes again, and had a faint smile on its lips.
Soon, the sound of even breathing filled the room.
It's clear he hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
But the evil creature's dream didn't last long. Two hours later, it couldn't help but wake up from those clamoring sounds.
Shen Sangruo had done her best to suppress the evil, but those evil thoughts were like waves, crashing down harder and harder each time.
This was the final attack by the evil thoughts to corrupt the evil creature. Without her, the last remaining flame mark in the evil creature's soul would have been stained black after this assimilation.
The evil entity wanted to suppress itself and spend a little more time with Chen Sangruo, even if it was just pretending to be asleep.
But the current situation simply did not allow him to do so; those surging evil thoughts had to disappear from this world with him immediately, without any further delay.
He knew that Shen Sangri must also be aware of his current situation.
Without further ado, he simply said to her, "I'm ready, you can do it now."
As he said this, the evil creature was still lying on the bed; this was the "death" he had chosen for himself.
One cannot choose what one is at birth, nor can one end one's own life, but one can choose who kills one and how one dies.
If Shen Sang did not respond to him, the spiritual power and divine soul power in his hands had already been condensed.
Just like the time he was killed before, the familiar fire-type spiritual energy surged into his body.
The evil entity is far more complex, and killing it is much more difficult than killing the boy back then.
Even though the evil creature completely gave up resisting, it still took Shen Sangruo, who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, a quarter of an hour to stop its heart from beating.
That wasn't all. She then immediately used her divine soul power to disintegrate the evil creature's soul bit by bit.
Until not a single wisp of his soul remained.
She looked at the somewhat emaciated, lifeless body on the bed, but unlike before, she didn't burn it with flames.
This is the only thing the evil thing has left in this world.
Fine, let him stay a little longer.
