Chapter 339 Abandoning the Physical Body
Xiao He struggled to take out a healing pill from his storage bag and swallowed it. He then slowly sat down against the cliff wall, staring blankly ahead. After the pill took effect, he slipped away from this secluded place. He still had many things to do.

Xiao He never regretted his choice. Although he was wrong, he only wronged Wei Lingkai. Therefore, he accepted the Wei family's revenge. He was the one who made the first move, so they had the right to resist.

But the father was not wrong. He did not betray the Xiao family, did not harm Wei Lingkai, and even committed suicide for the sake of the Xiao family in the end, just so as not to implicate the family. But how did the Xiao family do it?
He wished the siblings didn't have the surname Xiao and would sever all ties with them on the spot. But why should they have to suffer all this? That's why he impulsively agreed to cooperate with the evil cultivators when they contacted him again, but he wanted to take revenge on the Xiao family.

The Xiao family's cultivation helped him recover from his injuries, and his cultivation even improved to a higher level. After taking his revenge, he originally thought he would be laughing heartily, but even now he still hears the Xiao family's screams and cries for help before they died. It's all too late to undo it now.

He was acutely aware that he had already stepped into a quagmire, but he did not want his sister Xiao Lei to repeat the same mistake. So he sent her away and cruelly made her a rogue cultivator, not letting her stay by his side. This was his way of protecting his sister, and it was also his last line of defense.

After that, he was assigned to Li Chang's side to assist him in doing things for the evil cultivators.

This trip to the secret realm was originally foolproof. With Li Chang's cultivation level, even if the mission did not go smoothly, he should be able to escape unscathed. He believed that the old fox must have left himself a way out.

However, after leaving the secret realm, he learned that the other party had actually been captured and was seriously injured when the spirit of the realm kicked him out of the secret realm, which surprised him greatly.

Afterwards, all the cultivators who successfully left the secret realm were examined by the Nascent Soul stage masters of various sects to determine if any of them had been possessed. At that moment, he knew that the mission had completely failed.

Although his mission was to assist Li Chang, he also knew that Li Chang had other tasks besides refining the spirit realm. However, the other party did not tell him this, but only instructed him to help him spread some information in the secret realm and then secretly attack the cultivators of the five regions to create friction between the five regions.

He entered the secret realm as a cultivator from the Western Regions Loose Cultivator Alliance, but he neither spread rumors nor harmed anyone. Instead, he focused on training and collecting resources and did not contact other cultivators. This actually helped him, allowing him to quickly clear his name and leave the Baohua Mountains smoothly.

He knew very well that the Western Regions would definitely investigate the incident in the new secret realm. The identity he was using was a flaw, so after returning to the Loose Cultivator Alliance and handing over some of the gains from the secret realm, he used the path of evil cultivators to come to the Central Region.

Shortly after he arrived, someone contacted him, asking him to meet at that secluded place. Then they confronted him, accusing him and threatening him with his sister, which he could not tolerate.

Xiao He had already entered the city. This was a city on the outermost edge of the Central Region, mostly inhabited by independent cultivators. He went straight to an inn, booked a superior room, and continued to heal his injuries.

During the two years that Yunxi was in a coma, many things happened in the Weiyu Realm. The major sects began to join forces to investigate the whereabouts of evil cultivators. This time, the targets were not only the sects themselves, but also the rogue cultivators in various regions.

Because they have confirmed that there are evil cultivators who have stolen the identities of rogue cultivators, travel between different realms, do some shady things, and even established their own strongholds. They have also tricked some cultivators with poor spiritual roots who are eager to break through into practicing evil arts. The turbulent undercurrents that were previously hidden beneath the calm surface have been brought to light.

As a result, the workload of the major sects in the five regions suddenly increased. Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs had to take on missions and go out every now and then, and Golden Core cultivators went out on missions even more frequently.

However, the sect points and rewards also increased accordingly, and the cultivation resources obtained were more than usual. Sect disciples were also willing to buy pills, talismans and magic weapons for themselves, and even the number of times they could exchange for cultivation techniques and secret skills increased.

With the support of these things, the success rate of cultivators in completing tasks will increase, and after accumulating experience, they will break through at a certain point, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

Of course, some cultivators are injured or die while completing sect missions, but this is the path of cultivation, full of thorns and challenges, not a smooth road.

All the big shots in the entire Weiyu Realm were mobilized, while the evil cultivators went quiet, hiding their tails and lying low, not daring to make any rash moves. After losing track of the evil cultivators, Li Chang, who was taken away and kept under guard by the Mingjian Sect, became the breakthrough point for investigating the evil cultivators.

Ling Xuefeng of Haoran Sect
After Yunxi woke up and was able to use her cultivation technique to heal her injuries, Leng Ruohan went to the Enforcement Hall to settle accounts with Zuoqiu. Before Yunxi woke up, he wasn't in the mood, and the Enforcement Hall was also going to interrogate him, so he didn't pay much attention. Anyway, since she was in the Enforcement Hall, he wasn't worried that she wouldn't talk back.

But when he went to see the head of the Enforcement Hall, he learned that Zuoqiu had actually escaped, which greatly angered him. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and he asked in a cold voice:

"Do Ancestor Haohui and the others know about this? How did he escape? Can't your Enforcement Hall even keep an eye on one person?"

This is already a very serious dereliction of duty.

The head of the Enforcement Hall also wore a bitter expression:

“Venerable Yu Ling, please follow me.”

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.

Yu Ling's face grew even colder as she followed the head of the Enforcement Hall to the sect's most secure prison.

If Yunxi were here, she would find that this is the place described in the book where Wei Yunxi was imprisoned, and also the place that appeared in her illusions time and time again.

Master Geng led Yu Ling to the deepest part of the dungeon, pointed to a figure trapped within the formation, and said:
“Your Excellency, please take a closer look.”

Leng Ruohan's divine sense had already swept over the person with their head down and eyes closed, and then he said coldly:

"Isn't this Zuoqiu? How can you say he escaped?"

“Venerable Yu Ling, his soul has left his body and escaped.”

Leng Ruohan frowned and said:

“Even if he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, his soul will dissipate if it leaves his body for more than three days. I do not believe that the dungeon of the Enforcement Hall would not be prepared for this.”

“Venerable Yu Ling’s analysis makes sense. The Enforcement Hall has also made some speculations. One possibility is that Zuo Qiu took advantage of the interrogation to possess a disciple of the Enforcement Hall and left the Haoran Sect openly. Another possibility is that someone in the Enforcement Hall helped him find a magic treasure for his soul to temporarily reside in and took his soul out of the Enforcement Hall.”

"So what did you find out?"

“We have ruled out the first hypothesis. Those who participated in the interrogation that day, and even the guards here, showed no signs of being possessed, nor did they leave the sect.”

Leng Ruohan's face grew even colder:

"That's the second possibility. There are people from Zuoqiu in the Enforcement Hall who took his soul out of the Enforcement Hall. With so many disciples leaving the sect, you wouldn't be able to find out if they just put the magic treasure that houses their soul on one person. The Enforcement Hall doesn't have the right to search every disciple's storage bag."
