Shen Qingyue completely ignored Black Shadow, her expression clouded with unhappiness as she gazed at Chen Li.
"What should we do?"
Chen Li flipped through the bag in his hand, but his small face showed no sign of relaxation; instead, his brows furrowed deeply. His bright eyes, like obsidian, were fixed on the bag. Although he couldn't see inside, the ominous aura surrounding it was unmistakable. At that moment, as he held the bag, he felt as if he could hear a chilling wail of resentment echoing in his ears.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Shen Qingyue asked, noticing Chen Li's unusual demeanor and growing curious.
Chen Li didn't respond immediately; instead, he sent a thread of spiritual awareness into the bag. The next instant, his expression changed drastically. His previously rosy cheeks turned pale as he furrowed his brows into a deep frown.
A powerful aura erupted from him.
"What happened?" Shen Qingyue exclaimed, concern etched on her face as she looked at Chen Li.
Chen Li waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but his eyes remained locked onto the bag, filled with shock and an unyielding sympathy. A torrent of complex emotions surged within him, further piquing Shen Qingyue's curiosity.
"Brother, what exactly is in this bag?"
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Chen Li slowly handed the bag to Shen Qingyue.
"Take a look for yourself."
As he spoke, he raised his delicate hand, but his fingers gripped Black Shadow's neck like iron pincers. He began to speak slowly: "Tell me, how did you come by these things?"
Shen Qingyue was even more surprised by Chen Li's reaction. The moment she took the bag, her spiritual awareness quickly probed inside without hesitation. In that instant, she couldn't help but gasp and stumbled back a few steps, nearly dropping the bag.
What was inside was...
It was the souls of living people?! Who could be so cruel as to capture so many living souls?
The resentment emanating from the bag was overwhelming; thousands of ethereal figures writhed within it in agony. Some were missing limbs, while others were reduced to mere halves of their bodies—each one bearing an expression of unbearable suffering.
The souls were like beasts trapped in a cage, frantically battering against the bag, trying to escape the purgatory that confined them. Yet the material of the bag was unknown, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break free even a little.
As soon as Shen Qingyue's consciousness touched the bag, it was met with a powerful wave of resentment that rebounded against her. Countless terrifying faces instantly filled her mind, and despairing wails echoed in her ears.
"Brother, save me! Brother, save me!"
"Father, Mother, where are you? I'm so scared!"
"Who did this to me? I want revenge! I want revenge!"
Various voices mixed together like a cacophony of demonic sounds, relentlessly assaulting Shen Qingyue's mind. Even though she was the Celestial Empress and had weathered countless storms, she felt dizzy and pale at that moment. It was no wonder Chen Li had reacted the way he did earlier!
In an instant, Shen Qingyue quickly sealed the bag again. The bag felt like a block of ice, and a chilling aura rushed at her, making her shiver involuntarily. She could not forget the distorted faces of agony she had just seen; it sent chills down her spine.
With her face still pale and struggling to suppress her horror and anger, Shen Qingyue couldn't help but ask, "Whose souls are these?"
Chen Li shook his head gravely. "I don't know for sure, but judging by their clothing, they seem to be commoners."
Commoners? At his words, Shen Qingyue felt even angrier. These people were truly heartless; they didn't even spare commoners! What was this Black Ghost doing bringing these vengeful souls to our Shen Family Ancestral Hall?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Li said, "These souls have been imprisoned by someone's secret method and forcibly extracted from their flesh. The resentment is strong. If I’m not mistaken, he intends to inject these Yin Ghosts into our Shen Family Ancestral Hall to destroy the ancestral fortune of the Shen Family. This would prevent our family from ever entering Bloodline Awakening again."
He stopped there, but Shen Qingyue already understood his implication.
"Brother, we are the only ones from the Shen Family about to enter Bloodline Awakening! The person behind this is clearly targeting us!"
Although Shen Qingyue had focused solely on cultivation and wasn't well-versed in worldly affairs, having experienced betrayal in her past life and nearly losing her soul made her somewhat wiser now.
Even if Chen Li only hinted at it slightly, she immediately grasped the situation.
"So someone wants to stop our Bloodline Awakening?"
Chen Li nodded sharply, his gaze fixed on Black Shadow with renewed intensity as he tightened his grip.
"Will you speak or remain silent?"
Black Shadow felt a chill run down his spine under Chen Li's piercing gaze, yet he stubbornly retorted, "Want to know? Dream on!"
He clenched his teeth tightly, every muscle in his body tensing up as a powerful surge of Vital Energy erupted from within him, attempting to break free from Chen Li's grip.
Overestimating himself!
Chen Li let out a cold snort, increasing the pressure in his hand. At the same time, his other hand shot out like lightning, striking Black Shadow in a vital spot.
"Ugh!"
Black Shadow emitted a shrill scream as his surging Vital Energy dissipated in an instant, leaving him limp like a deflated balloon.
He looked at Chen Li in terror, his eyes filled with despair. "You... you crippled my cultivation?!"
Chen Li expressionlessly withdrew his hand, looking down at him from above with an icy tone. "Tell me, where did you get these souls?"
Feeling the intense pain radiating from the spot where he was struck, Black Shadow's fear escalated to its peak.
His life was over; he would never be able to cultivate again or extend his lifespan!
Especially considering the things he had done before; those who held grudges against him would ensure that he wished for death!
And all of this was caused by the child standing before him!
He glared at Chen Li with venomous hatred and gritted his teeth defiantly. "Even if you kill me, I won't say a word."
Not going to talk? Chen Li chuckled coldly and applied a bit more pressure.
Suddenly, Black Shadow felt as if his neck were about to be crushed, and breathing became increasingly difficult.
Chen Li raised an eyebrow and increased the force slightly. "I have a way to make you talk; are you sure you want to try?"
Black Shadow’s face turned red, bloodshot eyes filled with defiance, yet he still clenched his jaw tightly, refusing to utter a single word.
Still holding strong? A glimmer of coldness flashed in Chen Li's eyes.
Moments later, a searing heat surged through his palm as it coursed over his skin.
In an instant, a thin layer of flesh peeled away from Black Shadow's neck.
Blood flowed freely as an amplified pain overwhelmed him, causing him to howl uncontrollably.
