Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Without the illusionary barrier, the moment their souls connected, Li Fuyao felt a sudden, overwhelming pain surge in her heart, and the black lines on her soul power bar suddenly became much thicker.

Li Tianqing sensed that the foul power on her body had suddenly intensified, and he was startled.

Sensing something was wrong, he quickly began channeling his soul power into her again, while asking in astonishment and worry:

"What happened! Little girl, are you alright?"

"Elder Li, I'm fine."

If it were truly an evil demon cultivator, it would be impossible for him to help her like this. Given all that had happened before, and the fact that the soul seed told her that the person in front of her was not a deceptive illusion, but the real Bai Suifeng, Li Fuyao was already 80-90% convinced of the voice's identity. That's why she changed how she addressed him.

The mission was urgent, and she should have immediately discussed a plan to break the deadlock with Elder Li, but there were more important things to do right now. So after saying these few words, Li Fuyao ignored the questions that kept popping up in her mind.

She clutched her chest uncomfortably, using the power of the contract to forcefully help Bai Suifeng calm down and disperse his emotions. Ignoring the fluctuating soul power, she pursed her lips and quickly walked toward the blood ball.

"Fuyao, it hurts so much..."

His emotions eased, Bai Suifeng swayed his hips, revealing the tip of his skeletal tail and his red-glowing tentacles. His expression struggled for a moment, then cleared. Although he couldn't distinguish whether the figure before him was an illusion or real, he still managed a weak smile, his voice hoarse, and urged:

"Ugh, no, don't worry about me... Go away, uh, I'll hurt you..."

"Fuyao, stay away from me, stay away from me!"

A muffled groan came from his sharp-toothed beastly mouth, and all his words trembled and changed tone. Before Bai Suifeng could go deeper into the corner, the look in his eyes was turbidly submerged by the surging pain.

"Woo——"

Hearing Li Fuyao's footsteps approaching, he raised his ears and let out a threatening, wary growl from his throat. His tail, with half of its bone sticking out, exploded into a bloody, sizzling feather duster.

Has consciousness become so chaotic?

Gently pressing her aching heart, Li Fuyao looked at the menacing crimson tentacles beside Bai Suifeng's tail and took a few deep breaths as if suppressing something.

The next instant, a vast expanse of green vines shot out from Li Fuyao's fingertips, quickly binding Bai Suifeng, who was already at his limit, firmly to the ground.

Caught off guard, the blood ball was bound and unable to move. It immediately panicked and became wary, struggling desperately. Its bloodshot eyes were filled with resentment and hatred. Even though its pointed mouth was already bound by vines, it still fiercely wrinkled its nose, bared its teeth, and growled, so wild that it showed no trace of its former boyish appearance.

Li Fuyao lowered her eyes without saying a word, staring quietly at the little guy in the corner whose body was covered in blood and mud. The pressure around her was so low that even the unaware elder of discipline outside stopped his rambling.

Suppressing the anger that seemed to come from nowhere, she coldly stepped forward, picked up the bloody mass from the ground, and firmly tucked it under her armpit.

Covering Bai Suifeng's bloodshot eyes, Li Fuyao raised her hand and made a hand seal with a somber expression. In just a few breaths, the two of them were teleported back to the Stone Forest.

Forcibly holding down the little guy twisted in her arms, Li Fuyao meticulously cleaned the bloodstains from Bai Suifeng's fur bit by bit with her soul power. Only when the organs mutated from the filth on her adopted brother's body slowly subsided, and he curled up in a ball, trembling with anxiety, and fell into a deep sleep, did she stop what she was doing and softly ask:

"Elder, you previously said that because the soul was corrupted in the illusion, many cultivators in the outside world went distorted and went mad, so the soul and the body are in a synchronized state, right?"

"If the soul dies in the illusion, will the person in reality also die?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tianqing paused for a moment, then suddenly guessed what she was planning to do. He sighed and shook his head, trying to dissuade her:

"That's true, but let's not even talk about how difficult it is for us to find these demonic cultivators now. Just consider your current strength, how easy is it to obliterate the souls of those demonic cultivators?"

"I know what you're saying, but it's not easy, so I have to give it a try!"

After finishing his story with a forced smile, Li Fuyao told Elder Li about the filthy demon core and the black line of direction, a mix of truth and falsehood.

After the elder who had helped her restore her soul power had processed this information, when she spoke again, the killing intent in her eyes was so fierce that it sent chills down one's spine:

"Moreover, after you gave me the method to control the illusion, I can already vaguely sense the locations of other cultivators. They are all moving towards the uncontrollable center, which must be where those evil spirits are located, and the filthy demon core must be hidden there."

"They bullied my little guy so much, how can they not pay the price?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tianqing, outside the illusion, sighed deeply with his lifeless, helpless eyes:

No wonder Ye Wuxin values ​​this girl; her protectiveness is exactly the same as that dead guy's!
