There were five phantoms in total, each of which looked like five people, and they were probably all the ancestors of the Sacred Saintess Sect.
The five stone pillars had the power to corrode people's spirits. They should be something made by these five people.
According to Mo Xiu's guess, it was likely that these five people took the initiative to abandon their bodies at the peak of their lives and cast their own spirits onto the pillars with secret methods.
Afterward, if someone went into the Spirit Washing Pond, they would erode the soul of that person.
Eroding the soul of a person did not mean seizing the body. These five people should not have planned to seize the body, but the power of the erosion of the soul carried the will of the five.
The five people were willing to give up their bodies at their peak and cast their souls into the pillars. There was no doubt about their loyalty to the Sacred Saintess Sect.
The so-called will of the five was also the will of loyalty to the Sacred Saintess Sect.
In this way, those who had been eroded would become the most loyal to the Sacred Saintess Sect.
Only those who were most loyal to the Sacred Saintess Sect could be the saintess of the Sacred Saintess Sect.
That was the reason why one must bathe in Spirit Washing Pond for a while before becoming a saintess, and only those who had been in the Spirit Washing Pond could become a saint.
The person who left the Spirit Washing Pond might be Ancestor Qing Ru of the Sacred Saintess Sect. However, this pond was probably just to improve the cultivation level, and had no other meaning.
The appearance of the five people and five stone pillars should not be what Qing Ru expected.
However, no one could tell this kind of thing. After all, Ancestor Qing Ru was the founder of the Sacred Saintess Sect.
She was already a figure tens of thousands of years ago. No one knew whether she was still alive or not, but she must be no longer in the Sacred Saintess Sect.
Under normal circumstances, these five phantoms would not appear. It was entirely because of Mo Xiu.
At this moment, the five of them looked at Mo Xiu, very angry.
"Who are you? Why do you appear in the Holy Land of Our Sacred Saintess Sect?"
The five people said exactly the same thing, not only when they said it in unison, but even their voice was exactly the same, all full of anger.
Mo Xiu didn't want to talk nonsense with these five people at all. He just waved the Abyss Demon Sword in his hand and smashed the five stone pillars one after another with the Destruction Sword Intent.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Although it was impossible to destroy the stone pillars instantly, Mo Xiu's sword intent was extraordinary.
Under the raging Destruction Sword Intent, the pillars were wiped out bit by bit.
As long as he used the sword intent a few times, the five stone pillars would be destroyed sooner or later.
The five phantoms were aware of the seriousness of the problem, so they stopped saying anything, and rushed towards Mo Xiu, seemingly planning to carry out a spiritual attack on Mo Xiu, so as to subdue him.
It was a pity that they didn't know who Mo Xiu was, or how powerful Mo Xiu's spirit was.
Even if they were the peak powers of the Profound Sky Continent, their spiritual strength couldn't be as strong as Mo Xiu's.
Mo Xiu still used the Abyss Demon Sword to attack the stone pillars, but secretly displayed the Soul Devouring Knife, and a series of invisible blade lights swept out like a storm.
If the bodies of these five people were still there, Mo Xiu's Soul Devouring Knife might not be able to break through the five people's Spiritual Platform and attack the five people's spirits.
But now, the five people's bodies did not exist at all, only the spirits were left. With this, they were vulnerable to the extreme.
The five probably didn't expect Mo Xiu to have the Soul Devouring Knife as a means of attacking their souls. When they found something wrong, they wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
"Ahhhhh..."
A series of screams rang out, in just a few breaths, and the spirits of the five people all shattered.
Mo Xiu would not have the slightest sympathy or pity at all. These five people were planning to erode Xing Yuyan's soul and let Xing Yuyan betray him.
He only wiped out the five's souls, instead of humiliating the five souls, this was already great mercy.
The sword energy with the Destruction Sword Intent continued to bombard the stone pillars, until the five stone pillars were completely destroyed and the ashes were wiped out, Mo Xiu put away the Abyss Demon Sword.
Xing Yuyan in his arms did not appear to wake up yet, although Mo Xiu could stimulate Xing Yuyan's consciousness and force Xing Yuyan to wake up, he did not do so.
He found a place to put Xing Yuyan down, took out a thick silk scarf to cover Xing Yuyan, and then found a place to sit down, waiting for Xing Yuyan to wake up.
Not long after, Xing Yuyan woke up and made a soft groan.
Soon, a trace of panic and anxiety flashed, until she found that the surrounding stone pillars had been destroyed, and she didn't feel relieved until she saw Mo Xiu's back facing her.
After that, she said nothing but silently stared at Mo Xiu's back.
"Wake up?" Mo Xiu asked Xing Yuyan.
Xing Yuyan gave a soft "um" and was about to sit up, but the silk scarf on her body slipped off...
"Ahh!"
She exclaimed, quickly grabbed the silk scarf, covered her body, and said to Mo Xiu, "Senior brother, don't look!"
Mo Xiu didn't turn back.
Xing Yuyan stared at Mo Xiu for a while, and with a rustling sound, she dressed up completely.
"Senior brother, I'm really happy that you can come to save me," she smiled and said as if she had forgotten the pain she had suffered before.
Although there was no thank, Mo Xiu could still feel Xing Yuyan's inner gratitude. In the future, when it came to loyalty to Mo Xiu, Xing Yuyan might not necessarily lose to Mo Ruyi.
Before this incident, Mo Xiu didn't know much about Xing Yuyan. After experiencing this incident now, he really knew Xing Yuyan enough.
Not only because Xing Yuyan showed her heart to him, but also because Xing Yuyan told him a lot about herself.
Mo Xiu now even knew when Xing Yuyan consciously wetted the bed for the first time. Such a shameful incident, Xing Yuyan actually told him.
In any case, this was a good thing for Mo Xiu.
He didn't say anything out of place. He just said, "You are my person. It is right to come to save you."
Xing Yuyan's thoughts revolved, and her face was slightly conflicted.
Soon, she confronted Mo Xiu and asked in a gentle tone, "Senior brother, earlier, you could just do that to me… why didn't you do so?"
Mo Xiu sighed and said, "I know your thoughts completely, but I don't have that mind now, and there is a deep hatred waiting for me to resolve."
Xing Yuyan replied softly, "Don't worry, I won't disturb your mind, I just want to get closer to you."
"..."
Mo Xiu said nothing more.
After a long while of silence, Xing Yuyan shook her head, put away distracting thoughts, and asked, "Senior brother, you just said that you still have a deep hatred waiting to be resolved... what deep hatred? Can you tell me?"
Mo Xiu hesitated for a while, did not continue to hide, but told Xing Yuyan about his past life, especially what happened in Realm of Heaven.
After all, Xing Yuyan's current cultivation base had reached the peak of the Sea Core realm, and the people and things she contacted were not low-level, and she was almost qualified to know things about Realm of Heaven.
Anyway, he had to let Xing Yuyan know sooner or later, so it was okay to tell Xing Yuyan now.
After Xing Yuyan listened, she was dumbfounded.
Before, she knew that Mo Xiu was likely to be the reincarnation of a certain strong man, but she never thought that Mo Xiu's previous life turned out to be a demon king in the Realm of Heaven, and he was also the strongest demon king among the immortals and demon.
She imagined the scene where Mo Xiu was in the Realm of Heaven, fighting against a group of supreme immortals and demons, and imagined the scene of Mo Xiu fighting against one hundred thousand immortals and demons in the War of Origin.
Her heart was surging up and down incredibly for a time.
Thinking of Mo Xiu's betrayal by his confidant, Lan Xiao, who was treated as his own sister by Mo Xiu, she couldn't help feeling indignant, and couldn't help but scream for Mo Xiu.
But…
The more Xing Yuyan thought about it… the more she felt that the person named Lan Xiao hated Mo Xiu because of love…
According to Mo Xiu's description, that Lan Xiao was very sticky to Mo Xiu and liked Mo Xiu very much.
She had expressed love to Mo Xiu many times, but Mo Xiu had always regarded Lan Xiao as his own sister.
If she thought about it this way, the possibility of hate because of love seemed not small.
However, she would not remind Mo Xiu, instead she said, "Senior brother don't worry, I will stand by your side anyway. Your hatred is my hatred. I will improve my strength as soon as possible and face the Realm of Heaven with you."
Mo Xiu nodded lightly and said nothing.
That was what he planned to save Xing Yuyan, and Xing Yuyan also had this potential, but how he planned in his heart was the same thing.
What Xing Yuyan said was the same thing. He was still very much satisfied when he could hear such words from Xing Yuyan.
At this time, Xing Yuyan remembered something, and quickly said, "By the way, senior brother, weren't you in the Everlasting Sword Sect before? How did you come to the Sacred Saintess Sect?"
"Tear the space here," Mo Xiu replied.
"..."
Xing Yuyan was stunned, "Then how do we leave now? Tear the space?"
"I was in a hurry when I came, but now I'm not in a hurry," Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "now that you are all right, let's just kill out, but before that..."
His gaze fell on the Spirit Washing Pond as he raised his hand to cast a seal, dug out the entire Spirit Washing Pond, and put it in his storage ring.
