"Lin Yibai, it seems you're not having much fun in this dream controlled by you," Shen Qing said.
Although Shen Qing didn't like to take revenge on others in such a way, for Lin Yibai, the best revenge was to make her lose everything she once had.
"Shen Qing, what on earth are you... so proud of... You were once my... underling!" Lin Yibai gasped feebly but still propped herself up and shouted at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow and instantly understood what Lin Yibai meant.
It seemed that she had also recalled her past - life memories in the Soul - Locking Flag.
Indeed, in her past life, Shen Qing was Lin Yibai's underling. She was spurned by everyone, had her fortune snatched away, and finally died a miserable death.
But that was the past. Now, everything was different.
"The past is the past. Even if you recall it, it won't help. The system is gone, and all the things you were proud of are gone. Do you think you can still turn the tables?" Shen Qing said calmly, not taking Lin Yibai's impotent rage to heart.
Since she could be reborn, it proved that her fate was not to end.
Lin Yibai was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth and laughed: "Hahaha... I see... No wonder... Things have changed so much in this life..."
"I only regret that I recalled too late and understood too slowly, which allowed you to change the trajectory of this life. But don't be complacent!"
"Shen Qing! I will watch you repeat the same mistakes and follow the same path as in your past life!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xian, with a gloomy face, flicked his sleeve. Lin Yibai's body was severely hit into the air and then fell heavily to the ground like a withered leaf in the autumn wind.
"So noisy and annoying," Li Xian said. He had endured Lin Yibai for a long time. He would never allow anyone to curse Shen Qing.
He knew what Shen Qing had been through all the way. Those painful memories, he didn't want Shen Qing to remember, and naturally would not allow anyone to use them as a blade against her.
Shen Qing turned around and gave Li Xian a helpless look but didn't blame him. She just thought it was unnecessary to dirty one's own hands dealing with such a person.
Since Ling Zhou appeared, Pei Xuanjing's eyes had never left him.
He didn't know who Ling Zhou was, but seeing that he could easily stand beside Shen Qing, he felt sad.
Shen Qing had really changed. He couldn't understand her anymore.
"Junior Master... Shen Qing, may I ask who this is?" Pei Xuanjing asked carefully. He really didn't remember that there was anyone else around besides them when the Soul - Locking Flag was taken out by Ji Chongming.
He could tell at a glance that Ling Zhou was a soul trapped in the dream, not a character generated in this dream.
Shen Qing had come up with a way to seize Ji Chongming's body and was in a great mood, so she also explained: "This one?"
"This is my master."
He Yu was shocked as if struck by lightning and said in disbelief: "Master?? When did you take a master? So you weren't lying to us before. You really joined another sect??"
"Shen Qing, we avenged you and tried to atone for our sins just to let you return to our sect. But why did you take someone else as your master without saying a word?"
"Is this man better than Real Man Heng Ling? He's unknown. Besides having a good - looking face, what other advantages does he have??"
"Don't forget, the resources on the Nine - Desolate Continent only go to the powerful. If you randomly take an incompetent master, you won't be able to enjoy the resources you could have in our sect in the future!"
He Yu chattered on. He really considered Shen Qing's future, although in his heart, he also hoped that Shen Qing could return to the sect.
But when Shen Qing heard He Yu's words, she just thought it was very funny: "Resources?"
"What resources did I enjoy in your sect?"
"Shen Chuyun, tell me. Who took away my share of resources every time to give them to Lin Yibai?"
"The spirit stones and talismans were always taken away from me in various ways."
"When I first awakened, I couldn't even take out twenty medium - grade spirit stones. Is this what you call enjoying resources? I really can't afford it."
Hearing this, the three of them all lowered their heads in shame.
Before, they might have argued a bit, but since they recovered their memories, they knew that what Shen Qing said was true.
If it was true, there was nothing to refute.
Seeing the three of them showing guilt on their faces, Ling Zhou didn't mind adding fuel to the fire and said in a sarcastic tone: "Well, Heng Ling is really lucky to have taken in so many disciples."
"Unlike me, I only have Shen Qing as my little disciple, and I probably won't take in any more disciples in the future. All my resources and connections will only be used by Shen Qing."
"Shen Qing, I really feel so sorry for you. You don't have the jealousy and cold looks from your senior and junior brothers, and no junior sisters will deliberately frame you. Life is really boring."
Shen Qing covered her mouth and almost burst out laughing.
Ling Zhou's sarcasm made the three of them turn pale, and they didn't even dare to look Ling Zhou in the eye.
Shen Qing's suppressed laughter made them feel extremely embarrassed.
The dream began to shake more violently. Shen Qing looked at Li Xian, and Li Xian immediately understood. He took out the talismans he had just drawn from his storage bag, pasted one on Lin Yibai's forehead, and one on her back and chest respectively.
Lin Yibai, who had been cursing in a low voice, immediately fell silent and fell asleep.
Shen Chuyun was so scared by the movement in the dream that her face turned pale. She cowardly hid behind Pei Xuanjing: "What's going on? Is this place going to collapse? What should we do!"
Shen Qing said expressionlessly: "Ji Chongming is being entangled by Chaoyang and the others outside. We have to leave the Soul - Locking Flag when this dream shatters."
"When the dream is destroyed, we will fall into a deep sleep instantly. You must inject a stream of spiritual power into your spiritual consciousness before that to keep your minds clear."
As soon as she finished speaking, cracks appeared on the ground. Everyone staggered, and their heads felt as if they had been hit by a club. Drowsiness gradually swept over them.
Following Shen Qing's instructions, several people injected a stream of spiritual power into their spiritual consciousnesses just as the dream was completely shattering. Their spiritual consciousnesses were attacked, and a sharp pain came from their temples.
Outside the Soul - Locking Flag, Ji Chongming was imprisoned in place by Xue Ling's Buddhist beads and could only roar.
He had many fatal wounds on his body, but because he had taken pills, he didn't feel the pain.
The demonic energy gradually dissipated, and the Soul - Locking Flag also stopped floating.
Taking this opportunity, Xue Ling shouted at Hong Chaoyang: "Go in front of that ugly flag and recite two lines of the Great Compassion Mantra. Hurry up!!"
Hong Chaoyang was suddenly called by Xue Ling and was dazed. She subconsciously ran in front of the Soul - Locking Flag, but she opened and closed her mouth a few times, and her mind went blank.
Seeing this, Xue Ling hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and recite! As long as you recite two lines of the Great Compassion Mantra, the souls trapped inside can come out. What are you standing there for!!"
Hong Chaoyang was even more confused and said with a bitter face: "The Great Compassion Mantra... I don't know it!!"
