Chapter 1062 The Hidden Story
Elder Luo San stroked his small mustache, put one hand behind his back, and slowly walked from the other side of the corridor toward the jade table where Meng Lanjun was sitting. On the way, he saw Yun Xi waving her hand to tell the disciples who had been kicked out of the illusion array to review the process of being killed by the illusion array, and to say that all Luo family disciples would need to enter the illusion array again in two quarters of an hour.

Yunxi had already seen Elder Luo San approaching. After dismissing the Luo family disciples, she looked at him, smiled, and cupped her hands in greeting:
"Third Elder, have you come to see the younger generation's cultivation?"

Luo San told the truth:
"I have some free time today, so I thought I'd come and see if they're adjusting well."

Yunxi smiled knowingly, and after inviting the other person to sit down, she said:
"Third Elder, I have some understanding of swordsmanship and am responsible for guiding disciples who are willing to put their heart into it. Yesterday, I tested their swordsmanship level, and it was truly hard to describe."

Yunxi shook her head at this point before continuing:

"The Luo family is too protective of their disciples, and they lack experience. So I crafted an illusion array plate so that I can guide them to the next stage of their cultivation when they can break free on their own."

Luo San listened attentively, nodding in agreement with Yun Xi's words from time to time. Finally, he asked with great interest:
"Elder Ranxi, I am also very interested in this illusion array. May I try it out?"

"Of course, I only hope that the Third Elder will not forcibly break the illusion array. Because of the time rush, I made it relatively simple, but it cannot withstand the Third Elder's attack."

"I understand, I was just curious to take a look."

After saying that, he stepped into the illusion array in the center of the training ground alone.

After the other person disappeared, Menglanjun whispered:
"Luo San's true intention is not what it seems. He probably wants to test the power of the illusion array you have created, and also to see if the illusion array will damage the soul of the Luo family disciples."

Yunxi stroked Lili's head and said with a smile:
"If you see through it, don't say anything. Just let the Third Elder do as he pleases. Hopefully, he can hold out for a while longer."

Yunxi then continued playing chess with Menglanjun. Menglanjun had just learned to play chess and was still enjoying it, so she was very willing to improve her skills.

The Luo family disciples also saw the Third Elder enter the illusion array alone. They thought that with the Third Elder's strength, he would definitely be able to pass through smoothly. However, even after more than thirty Luo family disciples finished their review, they still did not see the Third Elder come out of the illusion array. They began to whisper among themselves.

"Why hasn't the Third Elder come out yet? Is he trapped too?"

"Probably not? The Third Elder's strength is at the Upper Immortal Realm; he wouldn't be trapped by a mere illusion array."

"Why has there been no movement for so long? Didn't Elder Ranxi say we had to enter the illusion array again?"

"I would prefer it to be a little later."

"Are you afraid?"

"Aren't you afraid? These evil spirits are impossible to kill, and they keep coming one after another. It gives me the creeps."

"Alright, stop talking, you're giving me goosebumps again."

Yunxi was multitasking, playing chess with Menglanjun while also sending a wisp of her divine sense into the illusion array. She also felt that Luo San had taken too long, and then she found that he was sitting cross-legged in the illusion array with his eyes closed, and the protective aura around his body had not been broken by the evil spirits in the illusion.

This result made Yunxi raise an eyebrow. She placed her white piece on the chessboard, winning the game and ending her match with Menglanjun. She then raised her hand and made a hand seal to retrieve the illusion array.

As the illusion array disappeared, Luo San opened his eyes, stood up, and came to Yun Xi's side, cupping his hands in greeting:
“I’m sorry, Elder Ranxi, I’m not good at attacking. If I were to eliminate the evil spirits in the illusion, I would definitely destroy the array plate. So I can only wait for you to open the illusion array on your own.”

"Thank you for your mercy, Third Elder."

Yunxi then reopened the formation and looked at the Luo family disciples, saying:
"It's your turn." The Luo family disciples solemnly gripped their weapons and entered the illusion array. This was their second time challenging the illusion array, and they were determined to last longer than last time.

Once the Luo family disciples entered the illusion array a second time, Yunxi sat back down at the jade table, intending to continue playing chess with Menglanjun. However, it was clear that someone didn't want Yunxi to have her way.

Luo San naturally took over Meng Lanjun's position, and while playing chess with Yun Xi, he asked with a smile:

"Elder Ranxi has extensive experience fighting evil cultivators, and the illusion array was crafted based on your real experiences?"

Yunxi glanced at the chessboard, placed a white piece, and replied:
"Yes, the more realistic the illusion, the better it will be for them. If they really encounter it one day, they won't panic. But I certainly hope they never encounter it."

After hearing this, Luo San sighed and said:

"Since the return of the Weiling Realm to the Immortal Realm, news of evil immortals appearing has been circulating in the Immortal Realm from time to time. They want to merge with the body of the evil god and have already devised several plans. Fortunately, a fairy reacted quickly and exposed their conspiracy. However, even so, the five realms are not very stable."

Our ancestor sensed that the upcoming Five Regions Grand Competition would be disrupted, which is why we invited guest elders. Our aim was to quickly enhance the combat strength of the family's younger generation. If they were to truly face the Evil Immortal, they must be able to fight back. The Luo family and the Evil Immortal are irreconcilable enemies.

Yunxi then looked up at Luo San, who had a small mustache, and said thoughtfully:

"If the evil immortals want to merge with the body of the evil god, they must first break the seal of the Cloud Sea, and then take out the body of the evil god from the Burial God Sea. Neither of these two things is easy to do. Breaking the seal requires enormous power, which cannot be done by just a few high-level evil immortals."

However, if the other party sets their sights on the Five Regions Grand Competition...

Yunxi didn't finish her sentence; she seemed to have grasped a corner of the evil immortal's conspiracy.

Elder Luo San seemed to have gleaned something from Yun Xi's words. His expression hardened, and he tossed the black chess piece back into the box, saying:

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Ranxi. I'll take my leave now."

Without waiting for Yunxi's response, he flashed away from the training ground, leaving Menglanjun completely bewildered.

He turned to look at Yunxi and said:

What did you remind him of?

Yunxi shrugged:

“I didn’t say anything. He said it himself that the Luo family patriarch sensed that the Five Regions Grand Competition was not peaceful, so he was anxious to ask us to improve the combat power of the Luo family disciples. He didn’t say anything else.”

Meanwhile, Luo San had already appeared in the area with the densest immortal energy within the clan's territory to meet his ancestor and relay Yun Xi's words.

The Luo family patriarch, a man with white hair and a youthful face, had a glint in his eyes after hearing Luo San's words and said:

"It seems my intuition was right. However, it wasn't about creating conflict or instigating a fight as I had thought. The Evil Immortal values ​​the disciples who participate in the Grand Competition, since their cultivation, essence, blood, and soul power can all be transformed into the power to break the seal."

Luo San said with great concern:
“Ancestor, if it is really as you speculate, we should give up this competition. We can’t let our younger disciples go to their deaths in vain.”

"Being cowardly before the battle is not something to be admired. The Luo family cannot live a peaceful life in Luo Xiao City forever. You have protected the younger generation too well, to the point that they cannot even break through an illusion array. This is not what I want to see. Moreover, the Five Regions Grand Competition is both a crisis and an opportunity. It depends on how the younger generation deals with it."
