The Kongtong Banner seems to possess a special power that can reflect all of her power, much like her Light Shield.
Even a shield of light cannot withstand such a long period of power attack and will inevitably break. However, the Kongtong Banner in front of us seems to have a continuous source of power to replenish it.
The Kongtong Banner is a long banner only as thick as a finger. Where exactly is the key to breaking through it?
Ruan Xiyan's blood-red eyes shone brightly as she stared directly at the Kongtong Banner floating in the air.
After Ruan Xiyan scanned the Kongtong Banner from top to bottom several times, she finally noticed the anomaly on it.
The power fluctuations of the Kongtong Banner radiate outwards from the very center point, where there is a rotating circular pattern that appears both real and illusory.
There is a hidden space on the circular pattern, and the power that makes the Kongtong Banner indestructible comes from this space.
Now that the source of the power has been identified, everything will be much easier.
Ruan Xiyan condensed her Glazed Demon Flame in her hand, and the flames transformed into a fire dragon, roaring as it attacked the entrance to the space.
"No! Stop right now!" Lin Zhou looked at Ruan Xiyan's actions with a look of panic.
He flew towards Ruan Xiyan without regard for anything else. Jun Yu narrowed his eyes and an attack appeared in his hand.
"Boy! You dare to kill someone in front of me? You're quite arrogant." The Corpse Demon King chuckled and tried to attack Jun Yu.
He had barely moved when Jun Yu slapped him away, saying, "Shut up, you bug, go stand aside. It's not your turn yet."
The Corpse Demon King was sent flying by the slap before he could get close to Jun Yu. He stood there stunned, completely bewildered by the blow.
He just got beaten up by a kid?!
The Corpse Demon King's face was filled with disbelief.
Jun Yu's power surged towards Lin Zhou, reaching him in the blink of an eye.
To everyone's surprise, he neither dodged nor evaded, and was directly struck by this force.
"Pfft—" Lin Zhou endured the severe injury of broken bones and rushed to Kongtong Banner at an extremely fast speed.
But it was clearly too late; Ruan Xiyan's attack had already struck the spatial entrance at the center of the Kongtong Banner.
The Kongtong Banner itself is indestructible, but the space within it, which is the source of power that sustains the Kongtong Banner, is an exceptionally fragile entity.
When the Glazed Demon Flame touched the spatial entrance, the entire space began to shatter, and the Kongtong Banner was also damaged.
A figure fell out of the shattered space. Before Ruan Xiyan could even see clearly, Lin Zhou caught her in his arms.
Lin Zhou held a lifeless woman in his arms. She had no aura of life, but her face was rosy and she did not look like a dead person at all. It was as if she was just sleeping.
A ring of glowing soul spheres surrounded the woman, and a layer of blood-red patterns encircled the soul spheres.
Those soul orbs were extremely clean and clear, unlike the souls that the Corpse Demon King had previously extracted from the disciples of various factions.
These are... the missing children from the massacred village. Ruan Xiyan sensed something and her expression hardened.
No wonder they kidnapped those children; they literally turned them into human form.
This is an extremely cruel sorcery, even more cruel than directly extracting a person's soul from their body.
As the Kongtong Banner was destroyed by Ruan Xiyan, the lightning in the sky dissipated, and everyone successfully emerged from the Thunder Pool, no longer bound by its constraints.
"They're out! Sect Leader Ruan, thank you." Ye Shu clasped her hands in apology to Ruan Xiyan, then rushed towards the mummified corpses.
Without the constraints of the forbidden zone, I can finally unleash my full potential.
Lin Zhou, flustered and helpless, carried the woman to the ground, and the soul spheres surrounding Lin Qiu entered her body.
Upon seeing this, Lin Zhou's eyes revealed a hint of joy. Enough! The power absorbed by the Kongtong Banner was sufficient to nurture those soul orbs into life.
He called softly, "Qiu'er, Qiu'er, wake up, open your eyes and look at your brother."
Those who had narrowly escaped death looked at Lin Zhou's appearance and spat, "A treacherous and cunning little man, has he gone mad from some kind of shock, actually talking to a dead man."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhou's eyes suddenly turned fierce. "Who are you calling a dead man!"
Lin Zhou appeared in front of the person who had opened his mouth in a flash, and grabbed the person's neck with his hand.
"Qiu'er isn't dead, she's just asleep. How dare you curse her to my face? I think you're the one who's dead!"
After Lin Zhou finished speaking, he snapped the man's neck without hesitation.
Those present were surprised that Lin Zhou, despite being so injured, could still display such strength and speed.
Lin Qiu slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, gazing at the familiar yet slightly aged man before her, and murmured, "Brother?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Zhou froze, as if he were hallucinating, and lowered his head.
When he saw Lin Qiu awake, his eyes lit up with boundless joy. "Qiu'er, you're awake! That's wonderful! That's so wonderful! Your brother has finally waited for you."
Jiang Wubai's eyes sharpened. "How is that possible? That little girl was clearly lifeless, so why is she jumping around and standing up again now?"
“It’s sorcery. I don’t know what kind of sorcery he used to bring someone who had long been dead back to life,” Yan Gonglin replied.
"As the sect leader of the top-tier power, Twilight Thunder Sect, Lin Zhou actually dared to practice evil arts. This is an even greater crime and cannot be forgiven." Ye Shu lashed out with her long whip.
With a single whip, the disciple of the Twilight Thunder Sect was knocked to the ground, and the disciple screamed in pain.
"It's...it's alive?!" Jiang Lin was so shocked he almost stammered.
He had never seen anyone come back to life, especially one who came back to life right in front of him.
"Sect Master, is there really such a thing as a sorcery that can bring the dead back to life?" Jiang Lin asked.
"Since you've already called it evil magic, the so-called resurrection is nothing but an illusion," Ruan Xiyan replied calmly.
"To revive someone by using their life and soul is an evil art that goes against the laws of heaven and earth. It may look like they are resurrected now, but in the end it is just a mirage, all for naught."
Ruan Xiyan's blood-red eyes could see through everything; this little girl was experiencing a final burst of energy before death.
The life force forcibly inserted into her body was gradually disappearing; such life force cannot be retained at will.
The little girl has been dead for many years. Lin Zhou's attempt to save her by sacrificing someone else's life is like trying to irrigate a withered flower whose roots have already rotted—it's all in vain.
At this moment, Lin Zhou's eyes could not see anyone but Lin Qiu.
"Brother, I'm sorry for leaving you all alone in this world. I couldn't keep my promise to stay with you." Lin Qiu's voice was gentle.
"It's alright, little sister. You're back by my side again. With your brother here, no one can take you away from me, not even death." Lin Zhou's eyes were obsessive and terrifying.
