Chapter 709 Stripping Away the Evil Soul
Yunxi looked at the Su brothers and asked in a calm voice:
"Are you ready? If you want to back out now, it's not too late. Just cancel the Heaven and Earth Contract. Once I start stripping away the evil soul, there's no stopping it. Even if you want to stop, you can't."

Su Jing gritted his teeth and said:
"We've made up our minds. Fellow Daoist Ranxi, please make your move."

Su Mu, standing to the side, simply nodded. Now that the die was cast, he had no right to stop it.

Then Su Jing waved his sleeve and released the ice coffin. He opened the lid of the ice coffin with his own hands, took a deep look at Sheng Xia who was fast asleep, and then signaled to Yun Xi that he was ready.

Yunxi nodded and said to Bingli beside her:
"Bingli, after I extract Shengxia's soul from her body, you and I will attack together."

Bingli respectfully replied:
"it is good."

The Su brothers didn't know why Yunxi had Bingli join her in the fight, but they didn't ask any further questions; all they wanted was a result.

To ensure she wouldn't be disturbed while stripping away the evil spirit, Yunxi activated a protective energy shield, enveloping her temporary courtyard to prevent outsiders from spying on her.

Then Yunxi said to Su Jing:
"You can break the seal now."

Su Jing immediately formed hand seals and began to remove the seal on Sheng Xia's body. One spell after another was cast into the ice coffin, and after a moment, a halo appeared on Sheng Xia's body, and the seal was broken.

Almost simultaneously, Yunxi flicked her sleeve, and the Soul-Gathering Mirror hovered above the ice coffin, forcefully extracting the soul from Shengxia's body.

Su Jing and Su Miao stared nervously at the extracted soul. Although the soul was a miniature version of Sheng Xia's, it was slowly changing as it was being extracted. The face of the possessing evil cultivator gradually replaced Sheng Xia's face, and the two felt their hearts sink.

Yunxi spoke up at this moment:

"Bing Li!"

As soon as Bing Li finished speaking, she raised her hand and flicked the "Ice Soul Cicada" into her soul. Then she quickly made a hand seal, allowing the "Ice Soul Cicada" to merge into her soul as quickly as possible.

Su Miao frowned and transmitted his voice to Su Jing:
"Big brother, what are they doing?"

Su Jing narrowed his eyes and said:
"That's the unique skill of the 'Informer'. He can control a cultivator's soul through spirit insects. I've only heard of it before, this is the first time I've seen it."

"Are the two of them working together to control Sister Shengxia's soul?"

Su Jing responded quickly:
"No, what they want to control is the evil spirit, so that it will be easier for Wei Yunxi to separate her soul. Otherwise, what if the evil spirit senses something is wrong and self-destructs while holding onto Sheng Xia's last wisp of soul?"

Su Miao asked worriedly:
"What if they tamper with Sister Shengxia's soul?"

"Then you should keep a close eye on Bing Li. The spirit insects are under her control, and her cultivation level is below yours."

"Yes, big brother, don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on Bing Li. You just need to keep an eye on Wei Yunxi."

The two then ended their telepathic communication.

Yunxi's consciousness remained focused on the soul extracted by the Soul-Gathering Mirror. Even without deliberately diverting her attention, she could roughly guess the Su brothers' thoughts through Su Mu's eyes. But so what? She was using an open strategy anyway.

After the "Ice Soul Cicada" entered the body, the awakened evil spirit knew that the situation was bad and tried to struggle to escape, but was controlled by the spirit insect.

To ensure the plan went perfectly, Bing Li sent out her "Cicada King," whose speed in controlling the evil spirits was much faster than usual. After the evil spirits lost their autonomy, she turned to Yun Xi and said:
"Your Majesty, I have already controlled the evil spirit." Yun Xi nodded, raised her hand to send out her purple smoke, and pretended to give an order to Bing Li beside her:
"Bingli, once the purple smoke has burned half of the evil soul and the evil soul has lost its ability to fight back, you should recall your spirit insect."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the spirit insect is of one mind with me and will withdraw in time."

The next instant, the four people present saw that the Xuanlei Purple Flame had completely enveloped the evil soul, and they even heard a sharp scream.

Su Jing clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands, but dared not make the slightest movement, for fear that he might lose even the last vestige of Sheng Xia's soul.

Su Miao was also staring intently at Bing Li, waiting to see her summon her spirit insects back.

Fortunately, things went even more smoothly than Yunxi had anticipated. Ziyan was relentlessly burning away the evil souls, and after a short while, she received a reminder from Ziyan and immediately said to Bingli:
"It's now!"

With a thought, Bing Li sent out the order to return.

The Cicada King was actually afraid of Yunxi's strange fire, but without its master's order, it dared not run away. At the same time, it had to cover for the little spirit insect that darted into that wisp of pure soul power, so it could only continue to hold its ground.

Now, having received its master's command, the Cicada King flapped its transparent wings and darted out of the evil spirit's body, flying back into Bing Li's palm, not forgetting to relay the message that it had completed its mission.

Bingli smiled and touched the Cicada King before putting it into her spirit insect pouch. She did this openly and honestly, letting Su Miao see everything clearly so he wouldn't suspect her.

Su Miao only relaxed his guard after confirming that Bing Li had recalled "Ice Soul Cicada". Then he looked at the weakening purple flames and his expression flickered.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was the Xuanlei Purple Flame. It was said that a cultivator from the Lei family in the Spirit Realm possessed the same strange flame. However, it was said that this cultivator went out to train and never returned to the Lei family. Some Lei family disciples said that he had already perished. It was just unknown whether Wei Yunxi's natal strange flame was the same as the Lei family's strange flame.

Yunxi was unaware that Su Miao had already recognized the Xuanlei Ziyan, but even if she had, so what? She had acquired this strange flame in the Weiyu Realm, and all the cultivators in the Weiyu Realm could testify to it; it had nothing to do with their Spirit Domain.

A moment later, the purple smoke also shrank slowly. After completing its task, it floated back into Yunxi's palm. At this moment, only a quail egg-sized ball of divine soul light remained in front of everyone, and its light was still somewhat dim.

After Su Jing's divine sense covered it, a smile finally appeared on his face, and his clenched fist loosened. Afraid of disturbing the remaining divine soul light, he whispered:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, is this the only remaining divine soul of Shengxia?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"Yes, the evil spirit was burned away, and what remains is Shengxia's soul. However, she is too weak now and cannot fully control her body. She needs to be repaired with medicine."

After saying this, he sent the divine soul orb back to Sheng Xia's brow, then went to the ice coffin, filled it with spiritual spring water, took out a mental energy repair potion from his storage bracelet, poured the icy blue liquid into the ice coffin, and then turned to Su Jing and said:

"I have already poured the medicine to repair her soul into it. Now it depends on Shengxia's own will. You can take her away. After the medicine is fully absorbed, come back to me. I will refine a second dose of medicine based on the degree of her soul repair."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ranxi. I will keep watch over Shengxia. I will come to bother you again if anything unusual happens."

After saying this, he closed the ice coffin lid again, bowed, and left Yunxi's courtyard.

After the two left, Yunxi put away the energy shield, chatted with Bingli for a few words, and then Bingli also took her leave.
