Chapter 305 Danger after Danger
In a swamp filled with poisonous gas, Wei Yunqing finally found an opportunity to "accidentally" meet Wei Chenyin and her group. Holding her spirit sword, she immediately stepped forward upon seeing the disciples of the Haoran Sect and said:

"I am Wei Yunqing from the Spirit Beast Peak. It is wonderful to meet all of you senior brothers and sisters here."

Wei Chenyin and the other three merely glanced at Wei Yunqing indifferently, showing little enthusiasm.

The four of them naturally knew of Wei Yunqing's existence, especially since he had made quite a splash when they went to the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm. He had successfully formed his core at the last moment and even became a personal disciple of Zuoqiu Zhenjun. Even if they didn't deliberately inquire, they knew about these things.

Master Zijing's bright eyes flickered, and he smiled, pursing his lips:

"Who is Wei Yunxi to you?"

Wei Yunqing immediately cupped her hands in a gesture of delight and said:
"Yunxi is my younger sister. Does this fellow Daoist know Yunxi?"

"We had a chance encounter."

Liu Haotian looked at the charming Wei Yunqing in front of him and simply nodded. Lu Wangyou also glanced at Wei Yunqing with indifferent eyes and his attitude was also very calm, which made Wei Yunqing feel like she had punched cotton.

At this moment, Wei Chenyin was transmitting her voice to Liu Haotian:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, those sisters have always been at odds."

She couldn't say much more, since the other party was, after all, a direct disciple of the Haoran Sect. In addition, she knew Wei Yunqing's selfish and self-serving nature and was worried that these people would help Yunqing out of respect for Yunxi. If they were tricked, they would hold Yunxi responsible. She could only take precautions in advance.

Liu Haotian nodded almost imperceptibly, then spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, if you wish to team up with us to explore the secret realm, please swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that you will not attack us or harm your teammates during this period; otherwise, we will not accept you into our team."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qing turned her gaze to Wei Chenyin. Compared to the others, she trusted the Wei family more.

Without further ado, Wei Chenyin tossed the message jade slip to Wei Yunqing and then said coldly:

“There are evil cultivators who have infiltrated the secret realm and are causing trouble. You'd better be prepared.”

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Wei Yunqing's expression changed. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Grandmother, who brought this news back? Is it accurate?"

Wei Chenyin replied calmly:

"It was relayed back by a disciple of our Haoran Sect, so the information is absolutely accurate; otherwise, we wouldn't have formed a team to carry out this mission."

She didn't mention Wei Yunxi at all.

Cao Yi and his two companions, along with Liu Haotian and his two companions, tacitly refrained from mentioning Yun Xi this time, and the people from Yunmen Temple were even less likely to say anything.

The two female cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect exchanged a glance but remained silent. They could sense that the people from the Vast Vast Sect were somewhat hostile towards their sect's personal disciple.

Wei Yunqing was still immersed in the shock brought by the news and did not notice the subtle conflict between the two people from the Immortal Transformation Sect. She had confirmed once again that the possessed soul imprisoned in her sea of ​​consciousness by the spirit of the crimson bracelet was an evil soul, and she had become the target of the evil cultivator.

This terrified her, and she subconsciously added two more seals deep within her consciousness. The imprisoned evil spirit seemed to fall into a deep sleep, making no sound and not caring about the additional seals.

Just then, the ground beneath their feet began to undulate, and a moment later, a water beetle the size of a fist emerged from the swamp. The instant the water beetle appeared, Wei Yunqing's expression changed, and he stood in mid-air.

The others also quickly took to the air, creating distance between themselves and the swamp. In the next instant, countless water beetles emerged from the swamp and quickly gathered together, forming a water beetle pillar with their bodies like building blocks, their target being the group standing in the air.

Unbeknownst to Yunxi, Wei Yunqing had already met Wei Chenyin. At this moment, she was guarding Yunchen and Hanlian's physical bodies while constantly replacing the high-grade spirit stones in the array plate. Because the barrier Yunchen created would dissipate after his soul entered the giant bamboo, Yunxi used her own fourth-tier array plate to replace the barrier and protect their physical bodies.

However, ever since Yun Chen was brought into the giant bamboo by Zhu Sheng, the bamboo leaves' attacks have become increasingly frantic. At the same time, the roots of the bamboo have also emerged from the ground and wrapped around the array's light shield, trying to destroy the array. The consumption caused by this double attack is also increasing rapidly. In order to prevent the array plate from being destroyed, she can only keep replacing the spirit stones.

"Master, do you think Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, can succeed?"

"Dian Dian asked anxiously."

Yunxi replied after replacing the stone with a high-grade spirit stone:

"I don't know. I hope they succeed, but Zhu Sheng will be depressed for a long time."

"Master, has Zhu Sheng's grandfather been devoured by an evil spirit?"

"It should be, otherwise this bamboo forest wouldn't have become a place where Nascent Soul cultivators are trapped and killed."

Dian Dian scratched her black ears and said:
"Master, do evil cultivators use Soul-Devouring Bamboo to steal the souls of Nascent Soul cultivators in order to find suitable bodies for their evil souls?"

"That's my guess too. It's too difficult to possess a Nascent Soul cultivator. If things go wrong, they'll definitely self-destruct their Nascent Soul and perish together with the evil spirit."

However, if a Nascent Soul cultivator voluntarily relinquishes their physical body, that's a different story. As long as their physical body remains intact, their soul lamp won't extinguish—that's the best opportunity! Oh no!

Yunxi suddenly realized something and immediately turned to look at Hanlian Zhenjun and Yunchen Fozi. At this moment, two gray light orbs were trying to rush into the sea of ​​consciousness between their eyebrows, but one was blocked by the blue ice lotus between Hanlian's eyebrows and the other was blocked by the golden lotus between Fozi's eyebrows.

Without a second thought, Yunxi summoned the purple smoke from the space and split it in two, launching it at the two gray evil souls.

Ziyan seemed to be a cat that had smelled fish. She quickly opened her true form and rushed over to wrap the two evil soul orbs. Then Yunxi heard two screams, and the wails lasted for a full five breaths before disappearing.

Ziyan then swayed back into Yunxi's palm, where she was sent back into the space.

Dot Dot asked, jumping up and down:
"Master, where did those two evil spirits come from?"

It was clearly helping to keep an eye on the physical bodies of the two True Lords, so how come it didn't notice when the evil spirit entered the formation?

Yunxi watched as the ice lotus and golden lotus between their brows disappeared before she spoke:

"You forgot about the Soul-Nourishing Stone on Zhao Sinan's body."

"Wasn't it frozen by True Monarch Hanlian?"

"But now that True Monarch Hanlian's soul has left her body, her seal must have weakened. In addition, with so much time having passed, the evil soul must have broken the seal and is just waiting to take over a ready-made body. The reason it didn't show up before was because Buddhist disciple Yun Chen was there. His Buddhist cultivation techniques are specifically designed to counter evil cultivators."

Now, because of Hanlian Zhenjun and with my persuasion, Yunchen Buddhist Disciple also separated his soul from his body and entered the Soul-Devouring Bamboo, which gave them the opportunity to take advantage. It was really close just now. If these two had been successfully possessed by the evil spirit, I would have been the first one to be killed.

"These evil cultivators are truly despicable, thankfully Master reacted quickly!"

She said with lingering fear.

Just then, a green ball of light burst out of the Soul-Devouring Bamboo, shook itself above Han Lian and Yun Chen's heads, and two white balls of light flew toward their respective bodies. Two breaths later, the two opened their eyes at the same time.

See you tomorrow, my darlings~ Goodnight~
