After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

The old man looked up at the sky and said anxiously, "My dear guest, are you not hungry or thirsty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hui's stomach growled and he felt extremely thirsty.

He quickly sat cross-legged, blocked his five senses, and began to practice the Soul Refining Technique.

As the Soul Refining Art came out of Zhou Hui's mouth, the bodies of those villagers and the old men in the mansion became distorted, as if they had turned into water waves.

They roared in pain, cursed, and swore at Zhou Hui.

However, this was of no hindrance to Zhou Hui because he had long since blocked his five senses.

They wanted to rush forward and tear Zhou Hui apart, but the seven-step ladder had strong defensive capabilities and was able to keep the villagers and the old man out.

As time passed, the villagers laid on the ladders and chewed and scratched at the protective shield, but the circuit had no effect.

The scene was very lively as they worked hard to chew through the surrounding protective shield.

At this moment, a stone fell, which was extremely obvious in the bustling crowd, as if it was hitting their souls.

Their movements and sounds all quieted down.

Suddenly a sharp voice shouted, "Ah! Run!"

These words seemed to turn on a static switch, and the villagers fled in all directions.

But the Soul Refining Technique never stopped, and one by one they turned into fist-sized stones.

......

......

As the last person turned into stone, Zhou Hui opened his eyes and released the seals on his five senses.

The village was still brightly lit, but the villagers had long since turned into white stones.

Zhou Hui felt pity for the villagers who were imprisoned in the Soul Refining Tower.

"You're pitying them!"

A deep voice sounded from Zhou Hui's heart. Zhou Hui had heard this voice before. It was the voice of the whale king in the deep sea.

"It shouldn't be considered pity, but helplessness and empathy. The death of a rabbit makes the fox mourn, and the loss of lips and teeth is cold."

These people were the victims and participants of the previous war between gods. They were all trapped in the Soul Refining Tower by Heaven.

"You saw my true form, didn't you?"

There was a sense of nostalgia in the voice of the Sea Whale King. The separation of his body and soul seemed to have given it infinite life and powerful strength, but it also cut off its progress.

"Yes!"

"Excuse me, if a sea beast swallows a mermaid pearl, can it give birth to a soul?"

Zhou Hui was extremely curious. If the mermaid pearl had such great power, why were the mermaids’ own souls so fragile?

"Hahaha!"

The Sea Whale King laughed out loud. He looked up at the sky and said, "It's a lie. It's a lie directed at the entire Qingyun Realm. Mermaids are natural gods. They are pure, kind and loving. They treat all creatures in Qingyun Realm equally."

"However, spiritual consciousness was born in the Qingyun Realm, which was in conflict with the innate gods. Thus, a new god was born. The new god had a conflict with the Jiao God and a war broke out. You have seen the final result."

At this point, there was a hint of helplessness in the tone of the Sea Whale King.

"The Mermaid was defeated."

This is the result: the mermaid god failed and the mermaids became fish on the chopping board.

"The Mermaid God is very powerful, even more powerful than the Heavenly Dao. However, he has compassion for all living beings, and in the end he is willing to be imprisoned in the God Realm for them."

When the Sea Whale King spoke of the past, his tone was somewhat heavy.

The Mermaid God surrendered, and his followers suffered revenge from the Heaven.

The soul is separated from the body, the soul is imprisoned in the Soul Refining Tower, and the body sleeps in the deep sea.

Their descendants' mission is to kill the mermaids and obtain the mermaid pearls.
