The temple door slowly opened, a beam of white light shot out, landing on the White Jade Platform, transforming into a curled-up, weak figure.
It was Bai Zhi!
At this moment, she was even more battered than in the Secret Realm.
Her plain white dress was damaged in many places, stained with dried blood.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her face as pale as paper, her breath as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
Most shocking was the twisted black rune writhing at the center of her brow, exuding a chilling, malevolent aura, which was the "Evil Spirit Binding Lock"!
This chain not only imprisoned her Divine Soul but was also continuously eroding her Life Origin!
Her meridians were also severely weakened due to prolonged imprisonment and erosion, and her Sea of Consciousness was a complete mess.
"Evil Spirit Binding Lock!"
Tantai Xueling’s gaze sharpened as she instantly recognized the origin of that black rune.
She stepped forward, arriving beside Bai Zhi, extending her slender jade-like hand, with fingertips swirling with a gentle yet powerful lunar radiance, gently touching Bai Zhi’s brow.
As the lunar radiance made contact with the black rune, a sizzling sound erupted!
The twisted black rune struggled violently, exuding an even thicker malevolent aura, attempting to resist!
Tantai Xueling coldly snorted, the radiance from her fingertips intensified!
A vast, pure, majestic power capable of purifying all the world’s filth erupted magnificently!
Hiss—!
Like sunlight dispersing the gloom!
The obstinate black rune under the continuous cleansing of the lunar radiance quickly dimmed, twisted, and finally let out a mournful wail, completely collapsing and dissipating!
With the Evil Spirit Binding Lock lifted, Bai Zhi’s tightly furrowed brow slightly eased, and her paper-pale face regained a faint trace of color.
Although still unconscious, with her breath weak, that cold aura entangled in the depths of her Divine Soul had dissipated significantly.
Her condition finally stabilized, no longer deteriorating.
Tantai Xueling withdrew her hand, looking at the unconscious Bai Zhi, a trace of surprise in her eyes.
"Spirit Queen’s Descendant? Sixteenth on the Great Wilderness Holy Academy’s True Inheritance List... Bai Zhi? How did she end up in such a state?"
Gu Sheng briefly recounted the sacrifice plan of Xiao Beixuan in the Secret Realm of the Thousand Souls Hall and how Bai Zhi was abducted as the main array’s core.
"Nether River... Xiao Beixuan..."
Tantai Xueling’s gaze cooled slightly.
"Quite a grand scheme, daring even to lay hands on the Holy Academy’s true disciple."
"Her injuries are severe, with damaged meridians and Sea of Consciousness; she needs to rest quietly."
Gu Sheng looked at the unconscious Bai Zhi.
"I need to head to the Great Wilderness Holy Academy.
Please take care of her during this time."
Tantai Xueling glanced at Gu Sheng, did not inquire further, merely nodded gently.
"I can. A Spirit Queen’s descendant should not be in such a sorry state. I will have someone take care of her with great care."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the shadow behind Gu Sheng, and added.
"This journey to the Holy Academy might not be peaceful. Let the Shadow go with you. If there is danger, he can act."
Gu Sheng did not refuse.
"Alright."
