After that explanation, everyone's faces froze. They stared at one another, stunned into silence.
After a long while, one of the Shenyi Gate disciples let out a bitter laugh and lowered his head. "No wonder the Sect Master repeatedly warned Senior Brother before we left that he must never use the sixth layer of Nirvana Spiritual Light. He was probably afraid that once it was awakened, it couldn't be fully suppressed again!"
Ling Xiaoxiao said softly, "Once the aura of the Soul Devouring Evil King awakens, it's difficult to suppress without a powerful Soul Power to back you up. Being devoured is only a matter of time."
Tang Xiaoli stared at her blankly, sorrow and grief filling her beautiful eyes. "There really isn't anything we can do?"
She knitted her brows and said quietly, "It's very, very difficult."
Bi Fan clenched his fists, trying to suppress his unease. "Difficult doesn't mean there's no chance, right? It was just as difficult to break the seal on the Dragon Clan's fortune back then, wasn't it? But we still did it."
Ling Xiaoxiao looked at him and sighed helplessly. Indeed, there was no real way to argue with that.
Then she could only turn to Tang Xiaoli and ask, "From what you've said, this aura appeared before? How was it suppressed?"
Tang Xiaoli nodded quickly, the last glimmer of hope flickering in her eyes. "Yes! It happened when Big Brother was cultivating the sixth layer of Nirvana Spiritual Light."
"I heard it from the other disciples in the sect. The aura burst out of nowhere while Big Brother was cultivating. The Sect Master happened to be meditating nearby. As soon as he sensed it, he immediately summoned the Elders of Shenyi Gate. After several twists and turns, they barely managed to suppress it.
