Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Li Xie turned over and stood up, no longer caring about hiding his identity as an evil cultivator. With a wave of his hand, he took out his Soul-Guiding Banner and looked fiercely at Zhong Lingxin.

He knew that the cultivator behind the young female cultivator had made a move.

At this point, he was like meat on a chopping board, with no chance of escape.

Since that's the case, he'll risk everything to drag the young female cultivator down with him.

As soon as the Soul-Guiding Banner appeared, black mist filled the air, and countless vengeful spirits roared and rushed towards Zhong Lingxin.

The fierce spirits that had rushed out quickly retreated back into the banner.

It was incredibly hot. The heat was intense, rising from the fire veins, making it unbearable even for cultivators, let alone ghosts.

Li Xie was furious. He had followed the two male cultivators who had been killed by Zhong Lingxin using an array to get in here. He thought he could find an opportunity to kill the two male cultivators and then kill Zhong Lingxin, a female cultivator whose spiritual sense was equivalent to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

He was supposed to collect three new souls into the Soul-Guiding Banner, but instead he had to give up his life here.

The evil spirits urged the soul-guiding banner, forcing even more evil spirits to pour out of the banner.

The surrounding temperature dropped.

The vengeful spirits were finally able to withstand the high temperature and all bared their teeth and howled at Zhong Lingxin.

When the vengeful spirits first fled back to the Soul-Guiding Banner, Zhong Lingxin knew that these spirits were afraid of the high temperature in the Fire Vein.

She dared not get too close to the Soul-Guiding Banner, but she also couldn't give the evil spirit a chance to heal.

Li Xie's left shoulder was smashed by her, so he could only activate the Soul-Guiding Banner with one hand, and could not use magic with his left hand.

Despite being severely injured and further restrained by the fire vein, Li Xie still has the strength to fight.

If her injuries heal, she will undoubtedly lose.

As for the vengeful spirit on the Soul-Guiding Banner, well, she has the Soul-Slaying Sword.

A soul without a body is practically a perfect match for the Soul-Slaying Sword.

There's also the Phoenix Harp, which is a powerful tool for dealing with the soul.

Zhong Lingxin put away her gauntlets, took out the Phoenix Harp with her left hand, and began to play it. With her right hand, she summoned the Soul-Slaying Sword, and the silent sword shadow slashed towards countless vengeful souls.

The first move of the Phoenix Harp, "Soul Sleep," slowed down the movements of the vengeful spirits and the evil spirits.

At this moment, the Soul-Slaying Sword unleashed one move after another of "Gentle Breeze Sweeping Souls," like gentle breezes blowing towards the slightly slower-moving Li Hun and Li Xie.

The vengeful spirits screamed in agony as wisps of black energy dissipated from their bodies, completely extinguished by the intense heat of the fire vein.

Li Xie roared, feeling his consciousness slipping out of control and a sense of powerlessness.

Several cultivators who were watching from a distance dared not look any longer after Li Xie was pressed to the ground from the sky, and quickly fled.

The fact that they hadn't discovered any hidden cultivators after being here for so long proves that these hidden cultivators were of a higher level than them.

They dared not offend the great power; it was best to keep their distance.

Zhong Lingxin didn't know that her master had come; she thought it was Uncle Xuanyuan.

With someone to rely on, Zhong Lingxin played even more enthusiastically.

In order to gain praise from Uncle Xuan Yuan, she strives to create a violent aesthetic.

The Soul-Slaying Sword was raised high again and again, slashing at the evil spirit's Soul-Guiding Banner.

The black mist swirling around the soul-guiding banner dissipated at a visible speed, and before long, the banner itself began to appear faintly.

The evil spirit howled sharply, relentlessly urging the soul-guiding banner to move.

Since he's already doomed anyway, we might as well not have this soul-guiding banner.

Unfortunately, this young female cultivator was truly his nemesis, as she actually prevented his Soul-Guiding Banner from unleashing even half of its power.

While urging the Soul-Slaying Sword and Phoenix Harp to attack, Zhong Lingxin kept a close eye on Li Xie's movements, determined not to give him a chance to heal.

Li Xie was aware of this as well, and he had been looking for an opportunity to take out the healing pill.

But Zhong Lingxin was incredibly slippery. Every time he flipped his right hand, a flying blade would rush towards his right hand, almost causing him to lose control of the Soul-Guiding Banner.

Helpless, he could only repeatedly cast spells with his right hand, urging more vengeful spirits to attack Zhong Lingxin, hoping to gain a moment's respite so he could take a healing pill.

The vengeful spirits on the Soul-Guiding Banner dissipated faster and faster, and Li Xie's cultivation, which he had built using other people's souls, began to weaken, with countless divine senses churning within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Blood trickled from the corner of Li Xie's mouth, and his face turned pale.

Zhong Lingxin sneered. "I used that trick of pretending to be injured and pretending to be short of spiritual energy just a few days ago."

Stop pretending in front of me.

Li Xie was in excruciating pain, and he let out one fierce howl after another, both to urge the fierce souls on the Soul-Guiding Banner and to relieve the pain in his consciousness.

The Soul-Suppressing Stone in Zhong Ling's mind slowly rotated again, resisting the spiritual attack of the evil spirit.

Just then, a voice rang in her ears: "Try to play the Phoenix Harp with your divine sense."

Zhong Lingxin recognized her master's voice.

During her practice sessions, her master repeatedly told her to play the instrument with her divine sense.

But she could never play it.

Now, she was in a flurry of activity, having to play the piano, wield her sword, and unleash flying blades, while the soaring punches still roared in her mind.

She wished she had eight hands.

As soon as her master's words reached her ears, she subconsciously brushed her consciousness across the strings of the zither.

The music started to sound slightly off.

Zhong Lingxin was overjoyed; she could now play music with her divine sense.

At the same time, Li Xie was also overjoyed.

He quickly activated his consciousness, and a healing pill appeared in his palm.

Zhong Lingxin was shocked and hurriedly threw a "skyrocket" at him.

Li Xie paused with his right hand, and the Soul-Guiding Banner fell straight to the ground.

He gritted his teeth and, disregarding the soul-guiding banner, made sure to swallow the healing pill.

Zhong Lingxin's left hand hurriedly reached for the Phoenix Zither again, and the clear, resonant sound of the zither once more steadily entered Li Xie's ears.

His movements slowed down again.

Zhong Lingxin's Soul-Slaying Sword slashed down at his right hand.

Li Xie knew the power of the Soul-Slaying Sword; if this sword struck, his right hand would be severed.

He quickly dodged to the side.

Fortunately, he already had the healing pill in his hand. He leaped into the sky and finally swallowed the healing pill.

Unable to stop it, Zhong Lingxin could only intensify the attacks of the Phoenix Harp and the Soul-Slaying Sword, on the one hand slowing down the healing speed of the evil spirits, and on the other hand trying to consume as many evil spirits as possible from the Soul-Guiding Banner.

Li Xie was busy healing his wounds, which temporarily weakened his control over the Soul-Guiding Banner.

During this brief period of weakening, a small portion of the vengeful spirits within the Soul-Guiding Banner were slain by the Phoenix Harp and the Soul-Slaying Sword.

The entire banner was finally revealed.

Nine skulls with gaping mouths were carved on the banner, and the vengeful spirits emerged from these nine skulls.

After consuming the healing pill, Li Xie quickly circulated his spiritual energy, finally allowing the bone in his left shoulder to heal.

His left hand can move again.

Half of the vengeful spirits within the Soul-Guiding Banner have already perished.

He could clearly feel a tightness in his dantian, and his meridians were also aching from exhaustion.

He can no longer unleash the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At the same time, he saw that on his left hand, which had just regained mobility, the veins were bulging, the skin was dark and wrinkled, and there were a few spots.
