Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

Chapter 179 Self-Sealing of Spiritual Power

“Little Brother Xu, it really is you! How did you get here? No, you're still alive! That's wonderful!” Joy flashed in Zhong Yingxiu's eyes. She had overcome her inner demons and immediately hugged Xu Xiaoli.

“You’ve been missing for so long, we couldn’t find you.” Zhong Yingxiu hugged Xu Xiaoli tightly, as if she were holding a lost treasure that had been found again.

A look of shame flashed in Xu Xiaoli's eyes, and then he said, "Sister Zhong, I came to find you. You can't let your inner demons control you. There are still many people waiting for you. Sect Leader Liu, Senior Brother Shen, and all the disciples of Bibo Court are waiting for you, and they are all waiting for Senior Sister to return."

Emerging from her overwhelming joy, Zhong Yingxiu smiled bitterly and said, "There's no going back. It was all a lie. Whether it was the diligent senior sister or the cheerful and lively Zhong Yingxiu, it was all an illusion."

“No, Sister Zhong, it’s true. You really inspire us with your enthusiasm,” Xu Xiaoli said firmly.

"Haha!" Zhong Yingxiu patted Xu Xiaoli's shoulder, as hard as ever, almost making Xu Xiaoli lose his balance.

Xu Xiaoli expressed his understanding, after all, it's normal for someone with the spiritual power of hundreds of people to be a little stronger.

However, Zhong Yingxiu's gaze towards him was not normal; her eyes were full of suspicion and a hint of barely perceptible sadness.

"Brother Xu is merely a medical cultivator. No matter how powerful a medical cultivator is, it's impossible for him to infiltrate the consciousness space. Moreover, I already received news from Qiao Qingzi that Xu Xiaoli is dead. So, stop pretending, you demonic cultivator!"

Golden light appeared beneath Xu Xiaoli's feet, and an exorcism array materialized.

"I didn't expect to be seen through." Xu Xiaoli's face darkened, and he jumped out of the formation, reverting to Xie Wanxun's appearance.

"Demon Lord of the River of Oblivion, why are you in my consciousness space?" Zhong Yingxiu tensed up, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and she looked at Xie Wanxun nervously.

"Why? Naturally, it's because your spiritual power is about to get out of control. If it really does, my domain will become ruins. I'm here to help you to save my domain," Xie Wanxun said with a smile.

“I don’t need your help. Your domain should be reduced to ashes. Besides, you killed Xu Xiaoli, so I can’t possibly trust you.” Zhong Yingxiu pretended to set up an array.

"You don't have to believe me. But your master and Shen Cheng are both in my domain, and they're not dead yet. Are you going to take them with you? Besides, the entire Bibo Court is just outside my domain. The disciples of Bibo Court won't have time to escape. Once your spiritual power goes out of control, they'll all be buried with you. Believe it or not, it's up to you. But can you really bear to do that?" Xie Wanxun glanced coldly at Zhong Yingxiu, her tone becoming serious.

Zhong Yingxiu hesitated. She was genuinely grateful to her master for rescuing her from the demon's lair, but she was also reluctant to part with Shen Cheng and the disciples of Biboting.

"Why waste your breath talking to a demonic cultivator? Everything you say and do is fake. Others will only like the fake you. Why care so much?" The inner demon approached and said with a light laugh.

"You have no right to speak here!" A cold glint flashed in Xie Wanxun's eyes as the Netherfire in her hand quickly burned away the inner demons.

However, Zhong Yingxiu can only eradicate her inner demons herself; otherwise, they will reappear.

“Zhong Yingxiu, I am just a demonic cultivator, and I don’t quite understand why you would lie to your master and junior brothers and sisters. However, I can see that you don’t want to recall your past, you don’t want others to know about your past, and you even believe that the deaths of hundreds of people in the Zhong family are ultimately due to your innate spiritual body.” Xie Wanxun said incisively, and with each sentence she spoke, Zhong Yingxiu’s face turned paler.

"But you just don't want others to care about your past. You want to start your life anew, so you treat people warmly to hide your inner sadness. Everyone can feel your sincerity. Why do you deny your true self?" Xie Wanxun asked, puzzled.

“No, a monster like me only brings disaster. I only bring misfortune to those around me. The deaths of 204 members of the Zhong family, and the deaths of my parents, were all caused by me.” Zhong Yingxiu squatted on the ground, trembling and holding her head.

However, Xie Wanxun suddenly lifted Zhong Yingxiu up, and said somewhat angrily, "No! This is all the fault of the demons, it was done by that madman Shen Yuan, what does it have to do with you! Now control your spiritual power, don't let the tragedy of that year happen again, the lives of everyone in Biboting are in your hands. As the senior sister, can't you show some backbone! Stop crying, it won't solve anything."

Zhong Yingxiu was stunned by what she was told. After thinking for a moment, she cried out helplessly, "But I can't control the spiritual power in my body. No one can help me seal it. What should I do?"

Xie Wanxun took a deep breath and said, "What's the use of relying on others? You might as well seal the spiritual power within your body yourself."

Zhong Yingxiu looked at Xie Wanxun with some confusion.

"For the sake of Bibo Court, are you willing to trust me this once? I will transmit the sealing formation to you. Of course, if you don't trust me, your spiritual power will go out of control. At that time, everyone you care about will die." Xie Wanxun stared intently into Zhong Yingxiu's eyes and said seriously.

After a long while, Zhong Yingxiu nodded.

She loathed the demonic cultivator before her, but he was the only one who could possibly save her on her path to certain death.

Xie Wanxun infused Zhong Yingxiu with the cultivation technique.

After absorbing the cultivation technique, Zhong Yingxiu quickly set up an array and began to control the spiritual power within her body.

Xie Wanxun chuckled with satisfaction. As expected of a disciple from the only sect in the cultivation world capable of setting up a ninth-grade teleportation array, his talent in array formations is truly unexpectedly high!

These sealing formations are all ninth-grade sealing formations, capable of setting up more than a dozen formations at the same time, which is also related to the large amount of spiritual power within Zhong Yingxiu's body.

Two golden rays of light suddenly appeared around Zhong Yingxiu, as warm and gentle as the brightest sunshine.

Xie Wanxun rubbed her eyes, and the two beams of light disappeared. Was it just her imagination?

Zhong Yingxiu sensed the two beams of light. She reached out her hand, and the light found its way into her palm, turning into specks of light and disappearing. She chuckled softly, but her eyes involuntarily reddened.

Xie Wanxun left Zhong Yingxiu's consciousness space and saw that Zhong Yingxiu had stabilized and was sleeping peacefully.

She turned around, hands proudly on her hips, and laughed, "I, the Demon Lord of the River of Oblivion, keep my word. Minor demons are no threat whatsoever. Well then, I won't disturb your reunion, bye-bye!"

With that, Xie Wanxun withdrew her domain and quickly disappeared from Liu Qingci and Shen Cheng's sight.

Liu Qingci quickly helped Zhong Yingxiu up from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief after finding her unharmed.

After a while, Zhong Yingxiu finally woke up.

"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Shen Cheng, who had just recovered, rushed to Zhong Yingxiu despite the pain in his abdomen.

"I'm okay."

"Really?" Liu Qingci asked worriedly. She knew that Zhong Yingxiu had remembered all her memories of the Demon Cave, and she was afraid that Zhong Yingxiu would not be able to bear it.

“Really,” Zhong Yingxiu said with a smile. She had always been facing the past and had never forgotten her days in the den of demons. Now, she was no longer afraid of the past.

A ray of sunlight shone on Zhong Yingxiu's face, making her smile even more dazzling.
