Taking the small flag, Wang Lin pressed the Staff of Life against it. In an instant, the small flag burst forth with invisible bloody light. The dense bloody light coiled above Wang Lin's head like a winding river.
Clumps of light of different colors could be seen suddenly jumping out of the river of blood. The center of each clump of light reflected a human face, and expressions of pain spread across these faces.
Obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations were spat out by Wang Lin as he waved the Staff of Life in his hand.
Swoosh!
A gray light blade instantly flew out from the Staff of Life, directly cutting off the connection between the small flag and the river of blood.
The bloody light dispersed, and the clumps of light of different colors also broke free completely at this moment. In an instant, they turned into countless vengeful spirits dancing in mid-air.
The remaining bloody light also began to spread onto them. With so many vengeful souls, let alone Meng Hongchen and Na Na, even Wang Lin felt somewhat breathless from the pressure of the resentment.
The Holy Light previously shown to Meng Hongchen lit up. Soft, holy, and pure light shone upon the vengeful souls.
Under the illumination of the Holy Light, the bloody light spreading onto them, along with the resentment on their bodies, began to slowly dissipate.
"Na Na, talk to your parents for a while. This is the last chance."
Wang Lin's voice sounded at this moment. Na Na finally came back to her senses, shuttling through the crowd of vengeful spirits, and soon found the souls of her parents.
"No..."
Amidst the terrified expression of the Grand Holy Spirit, a snow-white elegant hand was already pressed against his forehead. Panic-inducing coldness spread from the fingertips of the hand.
Starting from the Grand Holy Spirit's forehead, his entire body was frozen inch by inch. The terror in the Grand Holy Spirit's eyes could not be concealed at all, and a strong survival instinct surged from the bottom of his heart.
But he could not struggle. A viscous spiritual power like an ocean surrounded him, wrapping him tightly.
Even if he wanted to move a finger, there was a heavy force pressing down on him, making him completely immobile.
Until the coldness covered his entire body and the Grand Holy Spirit was completely frozen into a human-shaped ice sculpture, Meng Hongchen finally withdrew her left hand.
The surrounding wronged souls gradually regained their clarity under Wang Lin's purification. The lights of various colors on their bodies slowly dissipated, and their figures gradually became transparent.
Just as their figures were about to vanish, these souls turned their heads one after another, bowing slowly in Wang Lin's direction until they completely dissipated.
At the same time, a faint, inexplicable aura in the void quietly attached itself to Wang Lin's body.
Wang Lin's brows furrowed slightly. Being extremely mentally sensitive, he naturally sensed that inexplicable aura.
Although he felt that the aura was pure and peaceful, he subconsciously tried to expel it, but to no avail.
"Don't panic, Little Linzi. If this old man is not mistaken, that aura should be the Power of Faith."
Electrolux had come out of the Undead Demigod Plane at some point and was currently floating beside Wang Lin.
"Power of Faith?"
Wang Lin was surprised in his heart. Electrolux explained: "Faith is pure spiritual will. In my world, it is nothing special, but in this world, it seems to be of great use."
Saying this, Electrolux pointed his finger. Wang Lin could feel that inexplicable aura instantly detach from his body.
Floating to his palm, Electrolux looked at his palm with interest, studying the Power of Faith.
Wang Lin ignored Elder Yi.
At this time, Na Na had finished talking with her parents, and their souls had dissipated. She walked silently to Wang Lin's side and remained silent.
"Go back and live a good life. Stay in the academy; no one from the Holy Spirit Cult will dare to do anything to you."
Wang Lin looked at Na Na and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Na Na's eyes widened. She noticed Meng Hongchen standing beside Wang Lin, paused for a moment, and ultimately didn't say much, just nodding.
"Okay."
Seeing Na Na agree, Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she didn't play the moral kidnapping card.
In the original work, after Huo Yuhao helped this Na Na, she pulled a "if you don't take me in, I'll die" moral kidnapping stunt.
Ignoring Na Na, Wang Lin turned to look at the fire cocoon that had shrunk to the size of a glass marble.
He raised his hand and beckoned. The Bone Refining Fire was retracted by him, leaving a black bone bead in place.
Whoosh!
The black bone bead flew into Wang Lin's hand. He didn't rush to observe it but brought the bone bead close to the bone bracelet on his wrist. The bone bracelet automatically separated to the sides.
It created just enough space to accommodate the bone bead. Wang Lin pressed the bone bead into the gap, as if inlaying it onto the bone bracelet.
At this time, all the souls were purified and completely dissipated into the air.
Wang Lin withdrew the Staff of Life and reached out to hold Meng Hongchen's hand. Invisible spiritual fluctuations spread, and the figures of the two slowly disappeared.
Na Na was used to this strange sight. Wang Lin's voice sounded in her ear.
"Alright, let's go back!"
The three of them exited the underground hall. Electrolux also returned to the Undead Demigod Plane holding that inexplicable aura.
Just as they walked out of the tunnel, they ran head-on into the men in white they had seen before. There were five in total, all Holy Servants of this stronghold like Na Na.
"Leave Mingdu, all of you. Go somewhere else; no one will look for you!"
An invisible spiritual fluctuation spread to them. The images of the wronged souls being purified and dissipating were forcibly transmitted by Wang Lin into their Spiritual Seas.
Seeming to see their loved ones in those images, these Holy Servants couldn't help but sob in low voices.
Following behind Na Na, the three of them went straight out of this small courtyard and merged into the darkness of a small alley beside the courtyard. Even Na Na's figure was hidden.
The three stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the Holy Spirit Cult stronghold from a distance. Not long after, those five people walked out of the stronghold, having changed their outfits.
They left directly without looking back.
Seeing the five people leave, invisible telekinesis formed a huge circular shield completely enveloping the stronghold. Only then did Wang Lin say to Meng Hongchen.
"Ready, Little Meng."
"En." Meng Hongchen nodded. An invisible emerald green light flashed on her left hand.
Bang!
A muffled explosion sounded from within the stronghold. The huge shockwave slammed into Wang Lin's telekinetic shield, causing him to groan.
Boom!
The black domed building collapsed with a crash. Dust rose everywhere for a moment, immediately attracting the attention of the surrounding residents.
Wang Lin withdrew the telekinetic shield. They didn't stay in place but headed directly for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Even if an unimportant stronghold was destroyed, no one would trace it back to Wang Lin. Wang Lin had confirmed this point with Long Xiaoyao in advance.
Because this stronghold was not in the agreement established between the Holy Spirit Cult and Xu Tianran. The force that truly represented the Holy Spirit Cult in Mingdu had always been the Xishui Alliance, one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu.
That was the Holy Spirit Cult's base camp in Mingdu.
It was precisely because he was sure of this that Wang Lin let those Holy Servants leave Mingdu.
Among the Holy Servants, except for Na Na, whose Martial Soul was a Ghost and had the potential to be converted into an Evil Soul Master, the others were not capable and were completely enslaved existences.
