Chapter 218 Things Have Changed
After Zhao Jinmu finished speaking, his eyes reddened. His relationship with Hua Xuanzi was different. The two had been cultivating together since they entered the sect, advancing from outer disciples to inner disciples, and had formed a deep friendship. They were each other's trusted backers. They had made a promise to ascend to the Spirit Realm together, but now he was all alone. How could he not hate the evil cultivators?

Seeing that Zhao Jinmu's face was showing signs of darkening again, Yu Geng immediately shouted:
"Zhao Jinmu, guard your heart!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve, grabbed Zhao Jinmu, and disappeared into the back mountain of the sect.

Venerable Haohui was dozing off while fishing by the river when Yu Geng suddenly appeared. The golden fish that had gathered around the hook were startled and swam away quickly, which also alerted Venerable Haohui.

"Oh no, my fish!"

After saying that, he put away his empty fishing rod and glared at Sect Leader Yu Geng.

Yu Geng waved his sleeve, sending Zhao Jinmu before the Nascent Soul Venerable, and said:

"Ancestor, this disciple has been attacked by an evil cultivator and his body has been invaded by evil energy. Please help him. He has brought back very important information."

Hao Hui naturally noticed the evil aura surrounding Zhao Jinmu. Without even frowning, he raised his hand and cast a spell, enveloping Zhao Jinmu in a beam of scorching white light. Five breaths later, the white light dissipated, and the evil aura on Zhao Jinmu's body also disappeared.

Zhao Jinmu regained his composure at this moment, and he immediately knelt down and said:

"Zhao Jinmu thanks the Ancestor for expelling the evil spirits from his disciple."

Venerable Haohui waved his hand and said:

Why did the evil cultivator attack you?

Zhao Jinmu then stood up and recounted their experiences along the way.

He and his junior sister Hua Xuanzi changed their robes and disguises, and continued their journey to the Haoran Sect. No matter what others did, they were determined to bring the news back to the sect, otherwise their four senior uncles would be in danger.

They thought they had shaken off their pursuers, but after traveling halfway, they were attacked at night. At first, they didn't know that their attackers were evil cultivators, until the other party released the Soul-Devouring Banner, at which point the two realized something was wrong.

The evil cultivator, dressed in a black robe that concealed his entire face in shadow, commanded in a hoarse voice:
"Hand over the treasure map you have on you."

Hua Xuanzi gritted her teeth and said:

"We've given the treasure map to our fellow sect members. If you're so capable, go find our sect members."

The other party clearly did not believe them, or perhaps to confirm that the treasure map was not on them, the evil cultivator was about to search their souls, and the two immediately fought back.

However, the two of them were weaker than this evil cultivator. Hua Xuanzi knew that the other party would not give up until he achieved his goal, so she slapped the last of her random teleportation talismans onto Zhao Jinmu, while she desperately blocked the evil cultivator.

The last thing Zhao Jinmu saw when he was teleported away was the evil cultivator ruthlessly placing his palm on Hua Xuanzi's head to search her soul. He only had time to shout "No" before he was teleported away.

Perhaps it was fate that he was spared, as the random teleportation talisman actually transported him to the vicinity of Haoran City. Or perhaps it was because he was possessed by evil energy, and the evil cultivators believed that he must have fallen into evil, so they stopped pursuing him. It could also be because the evil cultivators did not dare to harm the disciples of Haoran Sect near Haoran City. In any case, he was spared from death.

He forced himself to return to the sect and explained the situation to the disciples on duty at the gate before finally meeting the sect leader.

Sect Leader Yu Geng frowned and said:
"Are you sure the treasure map is real, and that the treasure is located in Jade Star City?"

Zhao Jinmu nodded and said:

"Yes, it was because we were not capable enough that the fact that there was a treasure in Jade Star City was exposed. Uncle Wei and the other three took on this hot potato in order to save us, and attracted all the attention that was interested in the treasure to them, so that we were able to get away. Otherwise, we would not even be able to leave Jade Star City."

"Zhao Jinmu, the sect is already aware of this matter. Go to the mission hall to collect your reward first, and then go into seclusion to heal your injuries. Only when you become stronger can you seek justice for your friend. The sect will not stand idly by and allow evil cultivators to harm their disciples."

"Yes, Sect Leader! Jinmu has remembered."

Zhao Jinmu gritted his teeth and replied that he would remember this grudge and that one day he would avenge Hua Xuanzi.

Seeing that Zhao Jinmu's emotions had stabilized, True Lord Yu Geng waved his sleeve and escorted him back to the inner sect. Then he turned and bowed to Venerable Hao Hui, reporting:

"Your Excellency, Yu Ling's personal disciple is also trapped this time."

"Oh? You mean that little girl who formed her core at sixteen?"

"is her."

"Tsk tsk, it seems Yu Ling's bet was right. You all need to protect this girl well."

"Yes, Venerable One, I have already sent Yu Feng to Jade Star City to investigate the situation, but now I have learned that evil cultivators have intervened, so..."

Yu Geng hesitated to speak, not because he didn't trust Yu Feng, but because anything involving evil cultivators never ended well.

Venerable Haohui said with a smile:
"You want to ask an old man like me to make a trip?"

Yu Geng immediately waved his hand and said:
“Venerable One, how can you be called an old man? You are the youngest Nascent Soul Venerable One in the Haoran Sect, and also the most handsome and otherworldly expert. The word ‘old’ has nothing to do with you.”

Upon hearing this, Venerable Haohui immediately smiled and said:
"Tsk tsk, no wonder you became the sect leader. I like hearing that. Please say it more often in the future."

Sect Leader Yu Geng knew that the Venerable One had said this, so there was hope of getting him to come to his aid. He immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Yes, what I said is the truth."

Venerable Haohui waved his hand and said:

"Alright, go ahead and get busy! I'll go check out the excitement when I have some free time."

"Yes."

Only then did Yu Geng feel relieved enough to leave the territory of Venerable Haohui in the back mountain.

Meanwhile, True Lord Yu Feng had already arrived at Jade Star City. He was a Nascent Soul True Lord who was skilled in wind-based magic. His speed of traveling at full speed was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, so when he arrived, Yun Xi and the other three had not yet entered the underground palace.

Mo Yuwan felt that the arrival of True Lord Yufeng was both expected and unexpected.

As expected, the Haoran Sect would not allow such promising talents to be harmed. What was unexpected was the Haoran Sect's speed; they even sent a Nascent Soul True Monarch, demonstrating the importance they placed on the four individuals.

Mo Yuwan broke the silence first, asking with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Yu Feng, it's been a long time. What brings you to Jade Star City as a guest?"

True Monarch Yu Feng casually leaned back in his chair and got straight to the point:

"I've always been lazy, but since a disciple from one of my sects ran into some trouble here, the sect leader sent me to check on things. If I've offended the city lord, I can cover for him."

Mo Yuwan glanced sideways at True Lord Yufeng and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, they are doing well here with me. They are now guests of the City Lord's Mansion, and I will ensure their safety. However, it is not appropriate for them to leave Jade Star City at the moment."

Yu Feng raised an eyebrow and said:
"What? They've handed over the treasure map, and they still can't leave?"

"It's not that I'm preventing them from leaving, but right now only that little girl can open the treasure. The jade key to open the treasure has already recognized her as its master. If we leave Jade Star City now, you may not be able to protect her."

True Monarch Yu Feng was taken aback, not expecting such a new development, and could only say:

"I want to meet them."
