Chapter 288 Disguise and Infiltration
The crimson bracelet on Wei Yunqing's wrist could no longer remain invisible; it became visible and began to flash, trying to awaken its owner.

Unfortunately, Wei Yunqing was still immersed in the wonderful illusion of digging out Wei Yunxi's spiritual root and golden core. Moreover, this time it was the Wei family patriarch who stepped forward and asked Sheng Yuhong to take action. In this way, the two of them had a common secret and would definitely not be separated in the future.

This beautiful illusion captivated Wei Yunqing, and in order to maintain Wei Yunqing's life force, the crimson bracelet had to draw spiritual energy from the space and inject it into its owner's body, causing the space to shrink continuously and approach the point of closing.

Yunxi was unaware of all this. She was exploring the second floating island. This time, she was smarter. When she saw a spiritual plant that she didn't have in her plantation, she transplanted a mature one and a seedling, so that she could cultivate it herself when she got back.

Moreover, there were no guardian beasts next to the first to third-tier spiritual plants on this floating island. Perhaps it was because they saw her strength and that she hadn't uprooted all the spiritual plants that the guardian beasts didn't show themselves. However, this saved Yunxi a lot of trouble.

After exploring a third of the floating islands, she had a good harvest. Just as she continued to explore, she heard the sound of fighting. She frowned and released her divine sense to investigate. She then discovered that both sides in the battle were human cultivators, while the demon beasts were hiding in the distance, trembling with fear.

Yunxi frowned, then flashed into the fighting scene, causing both sides to retreat warily and turn their attention to Yunxi.

Zhou Langchen of the Famous Sword Sect looked at Yun Xi with a deep gaze. After noticing the elder's robe of the Haoran Sect on her, he spoke calmly:

"Fellow Daoist of the Haoran Sect, please lend me a hand and help me capture this person."

On the other side, the male cultivator wearing a hollowed-out mask snorted coldly:

"What? Are you disregarding our Kunmo Sect and intending to join forces with sects in the western region to annihilate us in the secret realm?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi felt that the person was saying it on purpose, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Fellow Daoist, this is blatant provocation. How have the cultivators of our western region offended you?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Langchen. Based on her understanding of him, he wasn't the type to cause trouble. Besides, sword cultivators who follow the ruthless path only have the sword in their hearts. If you have mastered the sword, they might want to challenge you. But it's not worth fighting to the death for rare treasures.

Zhou Langchen understood the look Yun Xi gave him. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:

“Something’s not right with him; he shouldn’t be a cultivator from the Kunmo Sect.”

Although Zhou Langchen's words were vague, Yun Xi understood. She narrowed her eyes and looked again at the male cultivator not far away who was wearing a black robe with dark gold patterns and a hollowed-out mask that covered the upper half of his face.

The male cultivator seemed quite disgusted by Yun Xi's blatant scrutiny, and coldly snorted:
"If you want to kill and steal, just say so. Don't make up such a flimsy excuse. You have companions, and so do I. You just wait."

After uttering those harsh words, the male cultivator prepared to flee, but Yun Xi stopped him first.

Her afterimage remained in the same spot, but she had already appeared in front of the male cultivator, blocking his way while revealing a sinister smile as she said:

"Hmph! I didn't expect you evil cultivators to have infiltrated the secret realm. It's truly impossible to guard against you. What are you planning to do this time? Pretend to be cultivators from other realms to kill us, and then disguise yourselves as us to wipe out cultivators from the other four realms, creating divisions between the five realms. Ideally, you'd like to have a major battle break out in the secret realm. The more people who die, the greater your gains, is that right?"

As the last word fell, the cultivator on the other side realized that the situation was bad. He immediately crushed the teleportation talisman in his hand, and was instantly enveloped in white light, disappearing from Yun Xi and Zhou Langchen's sight.

Yunxi's Xuanbing Needle had already pierced the opponent's dantian. Even if the male cultivator was teleported away, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Zhou Langchen also teleported to Yun Xi's side and said:

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure he is an evil cultivator?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"I am Feng Xiyun of the Haoran Sect. My cultivation technique is special, allowing me to see through the aura surrounding an opponent. Although he disguised himself as a demonic cultivator, the aura of a demonic cultivator is different from that of an evil cultivator, which allowed me to spot the flaw." Of course, this was his public explanation. The one who truly saw through the demonic cultivator's disguise was Dian Dian. The moment she arrived at the scene, Dian Dian sniffed around for a while before transmitting her voice to Yun Xi:

“Master, that demonic cultivator was actually an evil cultivator in disguise. Diandian was almost fooled by him.”

"DianDian, are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure. The auras of the Dao, the Demon, the Buddha, and the Evil are all different. Although the other party tried their best to use the aura of the Demon cultivator to cover up their aura of the Evil cultivator, the cultivation systems are different, and some things cannot be concealed."

After confirming the demonic cultivator's true identity, Yunxi naturally sided with Zhou Langchen and even tried to trick him. Unexpectedly, he fled without a fight, clearly showing his guilty conscience. Or perhaps her guess was true, and he didn't want to give her a chance to confirm, which is why he ran away so quickly.

Yunxi turned to look at Zhou Langchen and said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, how did you get entangled with the other party?"

Zhou Langchen said calmly:

"I found a third-tier Spirit Rhinoceros Grass, and he pestered me, saying he would trade it for other spiritual plants. I refused, and he started attacking me, trying to snatch the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass from me. However, during the battle, I sensed that his aura was a bit strange. But his strength was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and he was evenly matched with me."

I wasn't entirely confident I could keep them here, but just then, Fellow Daoist Feng appeared, rescuing me from my predicament and confirming my suspicions.

After Zhou Langchen finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said:

"Fellow Daoist, have you seen me before?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

“I met you once in Shuangshan City. I also heard that a female cultivator was in love with you and wanted to challenge you to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness. I have a deep impression of you, so I recognized you at a glance just now.”

Upon hearing this explanation, Zhou Langchen's eye twitched involuntarily, and he then cupped his hands and said:
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Fellow Daoist Feng. The matter here has been resolved, so let's split up and explore!"

Yunxi immediately understood that the other party didn't want to team up with her. She wasn't dissatisfied, but simply reminded him:
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, if possible, you should inform your fellow disciples about your encounter with the evil cultivators and warn them to be careful not to be used by them. We don't know how many evil cultivators have infiltrated the secret realm."

Zhou Langchen said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist Feng's reminder is correct. I will inform my fellow disciples, but I am powerless to help the cultivators in the other four regions."

“You can send a message to the Nascent Soul True Monarchs. They must be in contact with each other. Just spread the message. The True Monarchs are definitely more vigilant than us.”

"it is good."

Zhou Langchen maintained his usual aloofness. After parting ways with Yunxi, he sent communication talismans to his familiar fellow disciples and also sent a message to his master, Shi Jun Zhenjun, but he did not receive a reply after sending the message.

Yunxi immediately sent a message to Wei Chenyin and the other three. Based on her understanding of evil cultivators, it was impossible for them to have only one person infiltrated.

Meanwhile, Ye Yirui of Medicine King Valley was engaged in a fierce battle with Elder Wang.
