Chapter 300 All Forms Are Not Forms
Cao Yi's goal was simple: since Yun Xi had already sent a warning message, the cultivators of the five regions could not kill each other, and they had to find out the evil cultivators who had infiltrated the secret realm as soon as possible, otherwise it was hard to say whether they could leave the secret realm smoothly.

Wei Chenyin and the other two naturally agreed with Cao Yi's suggestion, and then turned their gaze to the two female cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect. The two looked at each other and were obviously hesitant.

Understanding their concerns, Liu Haotian spoke up:

“This fellow Daoist from the Haoran Sect is right. The situation is special now, and we'd better not make unnecessary sacrifices. If we continue to distrust each other, we will fall right into the trap of the evil cultivators. At that time, we will die in the struggle of mutual distrust without them even having to lift a finger.”

However, there's one thing you must understand: the ones who least want anything to happen on this journey to the secret realm are the cultivators from our western region!

Liu Haotian's words finally persuaded the two female cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect, and they nodded in agreement to communicate with the Buddhist cultivators from Yunmen Temple.

Cao Yi then waved his sleeve to open the isolation array, but did not release the trapping array.

The eight Buddhist cultivators from Yunmen Temple also saw the female cultivator from Huaxian Sect and immediately raised their voices:

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoists of the Immortal Transformation Sect, beware of these cultivators from the Western Regions. This exploration of the secret realm is a trap set by them, specifically targeting the other four regions."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Zhang Lingrui interrupted him:

"Shut up! You yourselves fell for the evil cultivators' scheme, how come you turn around and push the blame onto us Western Region cultivators? Do you really think we're easy to bully? If it weren't for preserving our fighting strength, we would have activated our killing formation long ago. Why would we need the fellow cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect to come and talk to you?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Yunmen Temple raised his hand to stop his junior brother's rebuttal, clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and then asked:

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by that?"

This time, two people from the Immortal Transformation Sect stepped forward to explain. However, they also clearly stated that the message was relayed by a fellow Daoist from the Vast Ocean Sect. They themselves had not received any messages from cultivators of the Immortal Transformation Sect, so the authenticity of the message needed to be verified. However, continuing to fight would not benefit either side, so they advised the Buddhist cultivators of Yunmen Temple to temporarily cease hostilities.

While the two were exchanging words, Liu Haotian was secretly communicating with Cao Yi telepathically:
"Fellow Daoist Cao, why isn't Junior Sister Wei with you?"

Cao Yi replied:
"Because of the legacy of the Immortal Healer Sect, she is now the focus of everyone's attention. So she changed her identity to enter the secret realm. It's inconvenient for her to team up with us after she arrived, as it would be easy for her familiar fellow disciples to notice something amiss. In addition, the teleportation in the secret realm is random, so we didn't stay together."

Cao Yi had only heard of Liu Haotian's name and was not familiar with him. In addition, based on the information Yunxi sent back, he could not guarantee that there would be no evil cultivators infiltrating the various sects in the west, so he did not go into too much detail.

To avoid implicating them, Wei Yunxi didn't contact them at all from the time they gathered until they entered the secret realm. Apart from the message Wei Chenyin received, he didn't know who his junior sister Wei was disguised as.

Liu Haotian understood Cao Yi's concerns and finally stated his position:
"I can't speak for others, but I'm definitely on your side. Fellow Daoist Wei Yunxi saved me, and I trust her character. The fact that she sent a message to warn me means that things are definitely not simple. So we'd better act together and not give the evil cultivators any opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yi visibly relaxed, giving a barely perceptible nod to indicate his willingness to team up with Liu Haotian and his companion.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, since that's the case, let's be cautious for now and be more considerate later. After we resolve the matter at Yunmen Temple, let's all make a Heavenly Oath to ensure that we don't have any internal conflicts during our upcoming exploration."

“Okay!” Just as the two finished their discussion, the Buddhist monks from Yunmen Temple explained their reasons for targeting Cao Yi and his group.

The leading Buddhist cultivator explained that their hostility towards the cultivators from the western region stemmed from their past assistance to the crazed western cultivators when they were teleported to that eerie jungle. After regaining consciousness, these cultivators were extremely grateful to the Buddhist cultivators of Yunmen Temple, but after the teleportation array appeared, they stabbed them in the back, causing the deaths of several of their companions.

After breaking through the cocoon illusion, they discovered that a cultivator from the Western Famous Sword Sect was attacking cultivators from the other four regions who were wrapped in cocoons, attempting to annihilate them in this way.

Fortunately, he escaped the illusion at the right time and immediately launched a counterattack. Seeing that more and more cultivators were waking up from the fight, the man did not linger and disappeared into the mist. Then he used the Buddhist "Awakening Mantra" to awaken his fellow disciples of Yunmen Temple and continued on his way.

After arriving here, they encountered cultivators from the western region, which led to a conflict. The rest is history.

Upon hearing this, Wei Chenyin frowned, coldly eyeing the eight people from Yunmen Temple. Suppressing the urge to curse, she said in a deep voice:

"Don't the cultivators of Yunmen Temple go out to train? Can't you even see through such a simple framing? Just because he's wearing the robes of the Mingjian Sect doesn't mean he's a cultivator of the Mingjian Sect. Do you know every cultivator who enters the secret realm?"
Why did this person choose to strike after you regained consciousness? And why did he specifically choose you as a witness? Why leave such obvious incriminating evidence behind your back?

Faced with Wei Chenyin's question, the people from Yunmen Temple exchanged glances and fell into deep thought. Zhang Lingrui, standing to the side, crossed his arms and made a sarcastic remark:

"Of course, it's because they are Buddhist cultivators from Yunmen Temple, the least likely cultivators in the Weiyu Realm to lie. They are the best witnesses. As long as they leave the secret realm smoothly, it will be a reason for the other four regions to declare war on our Western Region."

Lin Keyang, who had been relatively silent, suddenly spoke up:

"As the Buddhists say: If you see all forms as non-forms, then you will see the Tathagata! How can you determine that this person is definitely a cultivator from the Mingjian Sect just by his clothes and appearance? How do you know that he is not a heretical cultivator in disguise?"
If you were to capture him alive, you might be able to ascertain his identity. But you haven't even caught the person who did it, so why are you blaming us for everything he did? If you want to settle scores, go find the Famous Sword Sect, what does it have to do with our Vast Righteousness Sect? Are you sure you haven't been affected by the Strange Forest?"

Lin Keyang's words caused the leading cultivator from Yunmen Temple to change his expression, and he immediately put his hands together and said:
"Amitabha! This matter was indeed ill-considered on our part."

Liu Haotian spoke up at the opportune moment:

"Everyone, now that we know there are many suspicious points here, we must not kill each other. It would be best if we all swore an oath to the heavens that we would not suspect each other or attack each other during the exploration of the secret realm. While exploring, we should look for clues about the evil cultivators. I believe that the evil cultivators' conspiracy will definitely come to light."

This time, no one objected, and the Buddhist cultivators of Yunmen Temple readily made a vow to Heaven. As the laws of Heaven and Earth descended, Cao Yi waved his sleeve and withdrew the trapping formation.

"Let's go and take a look at the city center."

This time, it was suggested by a female cultivator from the Immortal Transformation Sect.

"it is good!"

The large group then headed towards the very center of the miniature city. Just as they approached, the city began to tremble slightly and gradually shrank.
