At that moment, Pei Ling suddenly understood. No wonder the coincidence had been so perfect—it had been Si Hong Miaoli's doing!
He then asked, "Where is Junior Sister Song now?"
The four female cultivators fell silent for a moment. Chen Jingmeng replied, "In Sangluo City, under the jurisdiction of my Jiuyi Mountain."
Jiuyi Mountain...
Pei Ling frowned slightly. Then, in a cold, booming voice, he spoke a single word: "Reverse!"
In an instant, the Soul Dao sealing technique he had just crushed reassembled. Gray-black smoke whistled through the air, retracing its previous path back into the bodies of the four female cultivators without the slightest deviation.
The four women were dazed for only a moment before their wooden expressions returned. Their eyes were wide open, yet empty and bewildered.
Immediately afterward, the fragments of black robes scattered across the floor flew back together, restoring themselves as before and settling over the four women again. Their hoods fell low, covering their entire faces.
In the blink of an eye, the four female cultivators had returned to the state they had been in when they first entered.
At the head of the room, Pei Ling shook his head. Originally, he had intended to release these four righteous cultivators through Si Hong Duo once he had finished asking his questions. But now, Si Hong Miaoli was still within Jiuyi Mountain's territory, and these four women knew that something was wrong with her. If he let them go free, Si Hong Miaoli would be in danger!
Of course, he could use the [Law of "Forgetting"] to make the four women forget everything that had just happened.
But this time was different from last time. The Righteous and Demonic War had still been underway then, and the righteous sects had no high-level cultivators to spare
