Chapter 327 Retreating to Advance
Yunxi cupped her hands in greeting and said:
"It means exactly what it says. You wanted the Profound Thunder Purple Flame, didn't you? I'll give it to you."

After saying that, he opened his palm and pushed Ziyan in front of Huabai.

Her actions not only made Hua Bai frown, but also made the brows of the other cultivators twitch. This little girl dared to confront a Nascent Soul cultivator head-on, so there was no reason for her to compromise so easily. For a moment, they did not understand Yun Xi's intention.

Hao Hui and Hao Qing immediately turned cold and said:
"The Immortal Transformation Sect is truly shameless. When the Xuanlei Purple Flame was born, you came to snatch it, forcing it to split in two. You got more than half of it. We cultivators from the Western Regions didn't chase after you to ask for it back. It's your skill that you managed to snatch it. We accept that we are not as good as you."

"What? Now that your strange fire has changed hands, you want to snatch it back from the younger generation? The Immortal Transformation Sect has some nerve, really taking advantage of our Vast Ocean Sect's lack of talent!"

Minghong Venerable's face also turned cold. When it came to fighting, sword cultivators had never been afraid. He had already locked onto Huayu Venerable of the Immortal Transformation Sect.

A hint of unease flashed across Hua Yu's face. He felt that Hua Bai had been too impulsive, and that this matter could obviously be handled privately.

The cultivators from the other three regions also felt that the cultivators of the Immortal Transformation Sect in the Central Region were a bit too domineering. They had previously snatched the Strange Fire that appeared in the Western Region, but the cultivators in the Western Region didn't say anything. If they really wanted to make a fuss, it would be strange if Hua Bai could have taken the Strange Fire away smoothly.

Now that Hua Bai's junior is less skilled and has lost both his life and his strange fire, Hua Bai has come back to steal the strange fire again, and he's targeting a junior no less, which is somewhat despicable.

However, the strong are respected. It would be fine if he could snatch it, but judging from the three breaths of their exchange just now, this junior from the Haoran Sect is not simple. He actually withstood Hua Bai's spiritual attack and then took the initiative to deliver the strange fire to Hua Bai. Now it's up to Hua Bai to see how he will handle this.

Venerable Linlang touched the Soul-Controlling Bell at his waist and transmitted his voice to Master Yunyi beside him:
“This little girl from the Haoran Sect is quite capable. She was able to fight Li Chang one-on-one with her Nascent Soul cultivation, which shows that she is not just a pretty face. Moreover, her spiritual strength is at least one level higher than her cultivation level. No wonder Hua Bai didn’t succeed.”

Master Yunyi nodded, then chanted a Buddhist prayer:

“Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Huabai, please don’t act rashly.”

At this moment, Hua Bai completely ignored the advice of those around him, and simply stared coldly at Yun Xi, saying:
"What is the truth you're talking about? Don't think that just because you gave me the strange fire, I'll let you go."

Yun Xi said indifferently:

"Venerable one, you used the fall of a junior as an excuse to harass me, wasn't it all just to take revenge and snatch back the Strange Flame? Now that I'm offering the Strange Flame to you, you dare not accept it. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of finding out the truth about my death?"

Hua Bai snorted and summoned the strange fire into his hand. This time he did not encounter any resistance, but he knew very well that Yun Xi's divine sense imprint was on the strange fire. If he did not remove the divine sense imprint, he would not be able to possess the complete Xuan Lei Zi Yan.

Hua Bai didn't take such a small trick seriously. He quickly extended his divine sense and headed straight for the heart of the strange fire, intending to replace Yun Xi with his own divine sense imprint. However, in the next instant, part of his divine sense was pulled into the memories of Xuan Lei Zi Yan.

Yunxi let out a soft breath and stood beside the two Venerable Ones.

Haohui asked directly:

"Girl, can he take the strange fire away?"

Yunxi shrugged, adopting a nonchalant attitude:
“If Venerable Huabai has the ability, then take him away. Consider it a loss for this junior to avoid disaster.”

Haoqing asked curiously:
"You didn't kill his descendants?"

"No, it's a big shot hidden in the Xuanlei Ziyan."

Yun Xi replied.

"What happened? Tell me in detail," Haohui said directly.

Since the strange fire was already out in the open, Yunxi had no more reservations and told her how she obtained the other half of the Xuanlei Purple Flame.

"The half of the Xuanlei Purple Flame that I obtained has long since developed consciousness. It knows clearly why it came to the Weiyu Realm from the Upper Realm, and it also knows the tricks its former master played on the strange flame. In order to get rid of its former master's control, it cut itself apart and then fled alone."

During the pursuit, I seized the opportunity to subdue this half of the Xuanlei Ziyan. When I encountered True Monarch Yiran in the secret realm, the strange fire reminded me that Yiran has its other half within him.

Then, True Monarch Yiran took the initiative and turned my physical body into a battlefield for the strange flames. The two strange flames were originally one, but each served its own master, and they both wanted to devour the other.

However, it was the younger generation who ultimately survived. After merging with the strange fire, they rushed straight for True Monarch Yiran, who was then devoured by the strange fire, thus attracting Venerable Huabai.

"You mean that there was a wisp of divine soul in the Xuanlei Ziyan that Yiran obtained, and that this wisp of divine soul replaced the original Yiran during the process of Yiran refining the strange fire."

Although Venerable Haohui spoke cryptically, everyone present understood that Yiran had been possessed by the soul hidden within the strange fire, so it made sense for Yunxi to say that she hadn't killed Yiran.

"If that's the case, Hua Bai should thank you for avenging his descendants."

Haoqing added a sentence.

The two of them were singing in unison, which made Hua Yu's face lose its previous calm.

Just as Yunxi finished explaining the reason for the battle of different flames, Huabai withdrew his divine sense, while the Xuanlei Ziyan instantly returned to Yunxi's dantian and disappeared completely.

Hua Bai clenched his fists. It turned out that Yi Ran was no longer Yi Ran. He had been possessed by a wisp of the divine soul in the strange fire. To be precise, the other party had merged a wisp of its own divine soul into Yi Ran's soul. Over time, Yi Ran would be replaced by the other party without realizing it.

It wasn't that he looked down on his juniors, but that the wisp of divine soul was a Nascent Soul cultivator in his previous life, three levels higher than him. Not to mention that Yiran hadn't noticed, even he might not have been able to detect it.

But Hua Bai was still unwilling to give up. He stared at Yun Xi and said:
"You may simply tell me, and I will separate that wisp of soul from it myself."

He couldn't continue speaking, because in the secret realm, the two met by chance, and it was Yiran who attacked Yunxi first. She only put up a fight, so this outcome was inevitable.

Haohui waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Hua Bai, if you're not as skilled as us, you should admit it. If you're not willing to accept this and want to take back the Strange Flame, we're ready to fight you anytime. Bring it on!"

What we are worried about now is the other cultivators who have entered the secret realm. Evil cultivators have also infiltrated it. They not only want to seize control of the secret realm, but also want to impersonate others and infiltrate various sects. It is clear that their ambitions are far greater!
This is no longer just a matter for cultivators from the Western Regions; it's a matter for the entire Weiyu Realm.

Hua Yu finally pulled Hua Bai to his side and, through a telepathic message, temporarily calmed the other's emotions.

However, Hua Bai's eyes kept sweeping over Yun Xi, as he secretly plotted his own scheme.

Yunxi remained calm on the surface, but became increasingly vigilant in her heart. This time, she would definitely go into seclusion for a long period of time after returning to the sect. Even if she went out of the sect to train next time, she would definitely change her identity and lie low until she reached the Nascent Soul stage. Then she would fight Hua Bai openly and fairly. She did not think she would lose.

Just as Yunxi was lost in thought, a message flew to Haohui's side via a flying sword. He scanned it with his divine sense, read its contents, and then looked at Yunxi.
