Chapter 317: The Formation Left Behind Slaughtered Half of Flying Cloud Sect

With Master Ling Xiao’s cultivation added to it, the pull between the System and Bai Mu Mu’s spirit was too strong.

Even though Shen Sang Ruo’s spirit was powerful, her face went pale as she forced both under control.

Everyone shouted her name: “Sang Ruo!”

Everyone else in the room looked at her with tense faces, especially Master Ling Xiao and Shen Dao Chen.

Only today did they realize how terribly wrong they had been. They were too ashamed to meet her eyes, and they felt deep pain and guilt. [They were wrong. All of it was wrong.]

Shen Sang Ruo shook her head to show she was fine.

She said steadily: “Bai Mu Mu did something before she died. We should check what that formation is.”

That threat to bury Flying Cloud Sect with her did not sound fake, and Bai Mu Mu did have the skill to do it.

Before anyone could go, screams of pain rang out.

They rushed outside and saw a giant formation covering the sky over Flying Cloud Sect.

Under the formation, countless low-cultivation Disciples had already died.

After death, the blood in their bodies was drawn out, flowing upward and into the formation in the sky.

From far away, it looked like countless bright red threads. The scene was eerie and horrifying.

As the blood was absorbed, the formation turned red, casting a red light over the entire Flying Cloud Sect.

It looked like a human hell.

This was Bai Mu Mu’s next chosen task and the backup plan she had prepared for herself.

For a moment, Shen Dao Chen felt like his own blood was flowing backward.

He seemed to see the thousand-year foundation of Flying Cloud Sect destroyed by Bai Mu Mu.

“No.” He swayed with a bout of dizziness, then steadied himself. Hatred toward Bai Mu Mu climbed all over his heart.

Ruined. He, all of them, and the entire Flying Cloud Sect had been ruined by this scourge. [The payback for raising a tiger was clear and bitter now.]

Shen Sang Ruo snapped them out of it and said with exasperation: “Do not just stand there. Go break the formation.”

Even now, she had to remind them of their duty while she was doing her best to control the System and Bai Mu Mu’s spirit.

Although she disliked the people of Flying Cloud Sect, the heretic cultivators’ plot was still out there. A great sect like Flying Cloud Sect needed to help protect the Cultivation World.

She could not watch the whole sect die under Bai Mu Mu’s hand.

Immortal Lord Chang Li and Immortal Maiden Azure Luan rushed ahead to destroy the formation.

Snake Maiden knew formations, so Shen Sang Ruo sent her too. She also sent Dodder Flower Sprite and Kui Ox to help.

Master Ling Xiao and Shen Dao Chen only thought Shen Sang Ruo still felt attached to Flying Cloud Sect and could not bear to see it suffer. They looked at her with complicated eyes.

Shen Sang Ruo felt goosebumps and said with deep dislike: “Why are you still staring? Go.”

Only then did the two pull back their gazes and join the others breaking the formation.

In a short time, her face turned even paler.

Feng He Yun and Lu Shi Qing moved to her side. Feng He Yun said with worry: “Sang Ruo, your face looks even paler.”

Lu Shi Qing asked in a gentle voice, full of care and strange feelings: “Sang Ruo, how are you? Do you feel very unwell? Do you want to take a break?”

She did not answer. Feng He Yun kept talking: “Bai Mu Mu is dead and the truth is out. My Mulberry Wine will be ready soon, and we can restore your feelings. After that, we will have only you as our Junior Sister. We will be like we were at the start. Nothing will break our bond again. Will you come back?”

They buzzed in her ear like two flies, and Shen Sang Ruo was annoyed. Holding the two clusters of spirit, she walked away from them.

The blood the formation absorbed turned into energy and poured into the System, strengthening its link with Bai Mu Mu’s spirit.

At this speed, in a quarter of an hour she would not be able to keep them from merging again.

Bai Mu Mu’s origin, goal, and deeds done through the System were now mostly clear to her.

But there must still be other things inside the System, like this formation Bai Mu Mu had laid in advance. With her current soul strength, she could not probe it.

The System was useful, but in this situation there was only one way. She had to shatter Bai Mu Mu’s spirit.

Without a host, the System would not be able to stir up much trouble.

Bai Mu Mu had done too much evil and carried too many lives on her hands. She was an outside spirit who dared harm people of the Cultivation World. Having her spirit scattered was the punishment she deserved.

Shen Sang Ruo’s eyes turned dark, and she gathered a great amount of Divine Soul Power in the hand that held Bai Mu Mu’s spirit.

She began to break Bai Mu Mu’s spirit apart.

The spirit twisted and screamed, but at last it scattered in her hand.

After finishing, Shen Sang Ruo collapsed to the ground like she had no strength left. Sweat soaked her whole body.

She had already been badly wounded by Master Ling Xiao. With more Divine Soul Power spent, both her body and mind were weak.

She was breaking Bai Mu Mu’s spirit while the formation on the side kept strengthening it, which made it even harder.

In the end, she could only scatter Bai Mu Mu’s spirit enough that it could no longer resonate with the System and reconnect.

Corpse-borrowed Rebirth was no longer something Bai Mu Mu could do on her own.

Without a host, the System turned into a headless fly. It struggled hard for a moment, then she suppressed it by force.

On the formation side, four people and three demon beasts joined with other Flying Cloud Sect Elders. They spent countless strength and finally broke the formation.

The one who did the most was Immortal Maiden Azure Luan, followed by Immortal Lord Chang Li.

Master Ling Xiao’s cultivation had regressed. Before that he had forced himself to save Bai Mu Mu, and he had also been beaten badly by Azure Luan. His body had long been worn down.

Even though they destroyed the formation quickly, Flying Cloud Sect still lost nearly half its Disciples. The damage was heavy, and it would take many years to recover.

The only good news was that the high-cultivation Disciples and Elders died more slowly. So those who lived were not weak, and the most important foundation was not broken.

The formation was very strange. Without Immortal Maiden Azure Luan’s ten thousand years of cultivation, they would not have broken it so fast.

Bai Mu Mu had set that formation in secret. If she had not been pushed to the edge and opened it suddenly some other time, Flying Cloud Sect might really have been wiped out by it.

Thinking of this, Shen Dao Chen and Master Ling Xiao felt a cold fear, and then an even deeper hatred for Bai Mu Mu.

After causing such a disaster, Shen Dao Chen wanted to slap his past self.

Shen Sang Ruo explained what had happened to Immortal Maiden Azure Luan and Immortal Lord Chang Li: “Bai Mu Mu’s spirit has been scattered.”

Shen Dao Chen and Master Ling Xiao reacted even more strongly. They nearly clapped with joy and shouted: “A monster like her should be wiped out, body and soul.”

Shen Sang Ruo did not answer them. She went on calmly: “As for this Malevolent Spirit, we can keep it at Ninghua Sect for study or hand it to the Hall of Myriad Spirits.”

As soon as she finished, led by True Lord Gu Ci, the people of the Hall of Myriad Spirits appeared in their view.
