Junior Sister must ascend this time!

As the Evil King said, he cannot kill anyone who possesses evil energy.

Moreover, when Yun Qing stabbed him, he had already separated a remnant of his soul and placed it on the throne. With enough evil energy, he could be resurrected.

"Kill...kill! The more evil energy there is, the faster I will resurrect!"

"Yun Qing, you just wait! When I'm resurrected, you'll be the first person I kill! Hehehe..."

More and more heretical practitioners are dying, and evil energy is spreading, covering the entire area.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the remnant soul of the evil king flew off the throne and secretly absorbed evil energy in a corner to strengthen its soul.

Wu Zheng was chanting sutras until he was seeing stars and his mouth was practically raw. "Junior Sister Yun Qing, when will you finish setting up that formation? I can't take it anymore..."

Although the Buddhist scriptures they practice can purify some evil energy, the evil energy emitted by so many evil practitioners after their deaths would take the entire Sumeru Sect three days and three nights to chant together.

After attaching the immobilization talisman to a rogue cultivator, Si Mingche patted Wu Zheng and said meaningfully, "A man... can't say no!"

Pei Shubai pierced the evil cultivator with his sword. "Senior Brother Wuzheng, hold on a little longer. Although my junior sister's formation is complicated, she started preparing it two days ago. She won't keep you waiting too long."

As he spoke, he swiftly chopped off the head of the evil cultivator who had attempted to ambush Yun Qing, adding, "Senior Brother Wuzheng only needs to hold on for another two hours."

Life is meaningless without conflict. Thank you, but you didn't offer me any comfort at all.

Three hours! He has been chanting for a full three hours. If he chants for another two hours, he should die before those evil spirits do.

"Amitabha."

"I don't want to live anymore."

Upon hearing this, Cen Ning handed him a magical artifact, saying, "This is an amplifying stone. Using this will increase the range of your chanting, which may be of some help to you."

Wu Zheng paused, "Why didn't you take this out just now if you had it?"

Jiang Mian passed by with a knowing look on his face. "Second Senior Sister was probably just figuring out how to start the conversation."

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded. "Does it take three hours to prepare to speak to me? Could it be...?"

"She likes me!" Wu Zheng exclaimed in shock, hugging himself. "Although I'm unrestrained and love freedom, I'm still a monk. This isn't right...not right..."

Yun Qing stood up and kicked him hard, yelling, "Go to hell!"

She glanced at Wuzheng, who had fallen to the ground, and said, "My second senior sister just doesn't like to talk. She gave you the megaphone stone so you would get to work and stop babbling."

Wu Zheng stood up, cleared his throat twice, and said, "Um... Junior Sister Yun Qing, how's your formation coming along? Do you need my help?"

"I need you to be quiet."

"oh."

Wu Zheng silently returned to his seat, hugged the megaphone stone, and began chanting scriptures.

Sure enough, this amplifying stone really worked. He only used less than half of his power, and the speed at which he purified the evil energy was almost the same as before.

While he was engrossed in reading, Yun Qing had finished checking the entire formation.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother Wuzheng! Lead everyone and get out of here."

Pei Shubai led Cen Ning and the other two away quickly, while Wu Zheng, still somewhat reluctant to leave as his junior brother pulled him away, said, "Hey... wait a minute, I was just getting into it..."

After everyone left, the remnant soul of the Evil King, who was grunting and absorbing evil energy, was stunned.

She's all alone?!

God help me too!

He knew he wouldn't die so easily. Although this person was despicable, his luck and talent were several times that of an ordinary cultivator.

If he eats her, and with the evil energy here, he can recover at least half of his previous strength.

Thinking of this, the remnant soul of the Evil King flew towards Yun Qing.

Yun Qing glanced at the dark, unidentified object, raising an eyebrow dismissively. "So you really didn't die?"

The remnant soul of the Evil King flickered, "You know I'm not dead?"

"Now that you know I'm not dead, you still dare to stay here alone? Do you really think you have the ability to kill me again?"

Yun Qing held up two fingers, squinted, and compared the size of the dark object. "Only this little? It's not challenging at all."

The remnant soul of the Evil King felt deeply insulted and nearly dissipated from his anger. "You ignorant little bastard, today I'll show you what true evil cultivation power is!"

With that, he lunged at Yun. His speed was much faster than before, as if he were concentrating all his remaining strength into this one strike.

Even though he is now just a remnant soul, his cultivation level is far above Yun Qing's. Without the influence of the pills, he could easily kill her.

Yun Qing dodged to the side to avoid a fatal blow, but the impact still pushed her away. She used the force to roll over and kneel on the ground to steady herself.

She wiped the blood from her lips, a smile playing on her lips. "It seems the Evil King still hasn't had enough of the feeling of being electrocuted."

"Wh...what?"

Yun Qing placed her palm on the ground and channeled her lightning spiritual power into the array patterns beneath her feet.

The array patterns lit up the moment her spiritual power touched them, extending forward along the pre-buried path, like an unfolding net, gradually covering the entire array base area.

"Lightning serves as the guide, array patterns as the path. Evil spirits that touch it will vanish into nothingness!"

Then, the lightning flowed along the array patterns, covering the entire area.

Purple lightning, like countless hands, reached out from the ground, firmly controlling the overflowing evil energy within the formation.

The moment the evil energy came into contact with the lightning, it emitted a slight "sizzling" sound, like water droplets falling on a hot stone surface, quickly evaporating and dissipating.

At first, the remnant soul of the Evil King was able to blend in with the evil energy and dodge the lightning, but as the evil energy dissipated, the lightning gradually gathered, tightening his space of movement layer by layer.

Yun Qing tilted her head and smiled, "So? Do I have the ability to kill you?"

"I'm so sorry, I made you die again."

The remnant soul of the Evil King struggled and roared amidst the lightning, "No!! Impossible! How could you possibly set up such a formation..."

"Aaaaaaah!..."

"No!! I can't die... I can't..."

As the sound faded, all the evil energy, including the remnant soul of the Evil King, vanished without a trace.

Wu Zheng's hands tapped the wooden fish faster and faster. "Goodness, if I hadn't seen Junior Sister Yun Qing set up the formation with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that she could have set up such an amazing formation all by herself."

Pei Shubai grabbed his hand, "Stop knocking, it's giving me a headache."

Wu Zheng then stopped. "Sorry, I got too excited just now. Was that commotion made by the Evil King? You knew he wasn't dead before?"

Si Mingche shook his fan. "I don't know."

"I don't know!" Wu Zheng's voice trembled with fear. "I didn't know you left Junior Sister Yun Qing alone inside. Aren't you afraid she'll be in danger?"

"We believe in her." Jiang Mian stared intently in Yun Qing's direction. "Junior Sister never does anything without being sure of success. All we can do is not let her be distracted by us."

Wu Zheng fell completely silent. The relationship between the two brothers was already quite good, but they couldn't trust each other to this extent.
