Chapter 340 One goes down and the other goes up
"The analysis by Venerable Yu Ling is correct. Therefore, the investigation by the Enforcement Hall has reached a bottleneck and there is no new progress. As a result, this matter has not been made public."

Master Geng explained.

Leng Ruohan flashed away from the dungeon and headed straight for the secluded cultivation place of the Nascent Soul Ancestors in the back mountain. The first person he met was Venerable Haohui.

Venerable Haohui was fishing by the lake when his eyelids suddenly twitched. He then saw that the lake surface was covered with a layer of frost, so he reeled in his fishing rod and said without turning his head:

"Why aren't you guarding Yunxi? What brings you here to see me?"

Leng Ruohan cupped his hands and said:

"Ancestor, Yunxi has woken up and I have taken her back to Lingxue Peak to heal her injuries. I came here this time for Zuoqiu."

Haohui waved his hand and said:
"You have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so you can just call me Senior Brother. Calling me Ancestor makes me sound old. You, Junior Brother, know how to speak properly."

Yu Ling's lips twitched upon hearing this, and she immediately said:
"Yes, Senior Brother Haohui, are you aware of Zuoqiu's matter?"

"I know, he's perfectly fine! It was that tiny bit of jealousy that led him down the wrong path."

He gets angry just thinking about it. Why would someone who should be a Nascent Soul cultivator in a sect choose to stoop to colluding with evil cultivators? He doesn't know what this person was thinking.

"Senior brother, even the Enforcement Hall has been infiltrated. This is not a good thing."

"The old guys in the back mountain all know about this, and they've realized the seriousness of the problem. They've already activated 'Dark Night Rain' to conduct a thorough investigation. You should stay here and watch over your disciples since you don't have anything else to do lately."

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruohan's expression also turned serious. "Dark Night Rain" is a hidden weapon of the Haoran Sect. It does not obey the sect leader or any Nascent Soul Venerable. Only when three or more Nascent Soul Venerables summon it at the same time will "Dark Night Rain" be activated.

As for how many people are in "Dark Night Rain" and what their cultivation levels are, no one knows the details. All that is known is that this sword was passed down one-on-one, and the method of selecting people for each generation is different. It was established and passed down by the founding ancestor of the sect and is the last internal defense of the Haoran Sect.

Since its inception, "Dark Night Rain" has been used only a handful of times, but each time it has been able to resolve crises in the fastest possible time. However, Zuoqiu's defection from the sect this time clearly crossed the sect's bottom line.

“Senior brother, I understand. If you need anything, you can come to Lingxue Peak to find me anytime. No one knows Zuoqiu better than me. Even if he changes his appearance, I will still recognize him.”

Haohui nodded to indicate that he understood, "The one who understands you best is always your enemy."

"The sect will give you an explanation for this matter. We have already found out that when you were in the Nascent Soul stage, it was Zuoqiu who tampered with the formation on Lingxue Peak. The formation he used to trap you was somewhat evil and was probably obtained from an evil cultivator."

Leng Ruohan was not surprised at all by this outcome. He said coldly:

"It seems that he had been colluding with evil cultivators for a long time, but he had kept it hidden and was waiting for an opportunity. The fact that Zuoqiu reached the Nascent Soul stage before me should also be part of the plan."

Haohui shook his head and said:

"The relationship between Zuoqiu and the evil cultivators is still uncertain. It may be a cooperative relationship where both sides get what they need, or it may be that they are using each other. Zuoqiu wants to get rid of you, while the evil cultivators want to disrupt the sect so that the sect can place more people in it. However, Zuoqiu's premature transformation into a god should not be part of the overall plan."

Isn't it a coincidence? Zuoqiu Huashen's help came from an Enlightenment Fruit, which was provided by his personal disciple Wei Yunqing, who is also Wei Yunxi's older sister.

Zuoqiu's connection with Wei Yunqing was due to Wei Nanfeng, the former ancestor of the Wei family. Coincidentally, Wei Nanfeng had met Zuoqiu before his death and wanted to introduce his valued junior, Wei Yunqing, to Zuoqiu. However, his sudden death put the matter on hold.

Ultimately, it was only because news spread from Danfeng that Wei Yunqing had cultivated a fifth-tier spiritual plant that Zuo Qiu was drawn there. He exchanged it for the Enlightenment Fruit as a personal disciple, thus breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop.

Leng Ruohan wasn't stupid; a quick glance revealed the whole story, and he said coldly:
"These things all revolve around the two Wei sisters, and as one gains and the other loses, things change."

Haohui chuckled and said:

"Yes, there are some things you can ask Yunxi when you go back. The people from 'Dark Night Rain' will probably go to her for questioning. I'm letting you know in advance so you don't get into a conflict with them without knowing."

"Alright, Junior Brother understands." Yu Ling bowed and took his leave, then vanished from the back mountain in a flash.

Meanwhile, beside the snow lotus flower field halfway up Lingxue Peak, Yunxi was staring at a charming young girl. The girl was wearing the robes of a Nascent Soul Venerable from the Haoran Sect, and was a head shorter than Yunxi. Her bone age was indiscernible. She was staring at Yunxi from head to toe with her beautiful eyes.

After passing through the Nascent Soul Tribulation, Yunxi fixed her height at 1.78 meters. She felt that this height was very suitable in the cultivation world. It would not make her look petite, nor would it make her look less imposing. Her slender figure could carry off any type of robe, which made her very satisfied.

For example, even though her cultivation level was lower than the young girl in front of her, she was able to look down at her and, after the girl had scrutinized her, respectfully cupped her hands and said:
"Wei Yunxi greets Your Excellency. May I ask what Your Excellency's instructions are?"

The young girl smiled charmingly and said:

"I am Haoyi. I am not only a fellow disciple but also a close friend of Yuling's master. I heard that Yuling encountered some trouble when he was about to reach the Nascent Soul stage. It was you, his disciple, who risked your life to win a chance for him. I couldn't help but be curious, so I came to see for myself."

Yunxi bowed respectfully once again:
"Greetings, Venerable Haoyi."

"Come, sit down and talk to me."

Haoyi said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

What could Yunxi say? Don't let his youthful appearance fool you, he's a big shot. His aura is even stronger than that of Venerable Haohui. She guessed that his cultivation level was at least at the late Nascent Soul stage.

So she obediently sat at the jade table in the courtyard, took out the spiritual tea bestowed by her master, brewed a pot with elegant movements, and pushed the white jade cup in front of Venerable Haoyi.

Venerable Haoyi, without any hesitation, picked up his jade cup, took a sip, and said:

"Can you tell me how you broke through Ling Xuefeng's binding formation?"

Yunxi nodded and recounted how the formation was broken. As for the origin of the Boundary-Breaking Cone, she told the truth as well. Many people had seen it at the time, so it was no secret.

"May I take a look at that Boundary-Breaking Cone?"

"nature."

With a thought, Yunxi took out the Boundary-Breaking Cone from her storage ring and handed it to Venerable Haoyi opposite her.

Hao Yi scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately noticed something amiss:
"This cone can only be used twice more before it is completely worn out."

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"Yes, that's what the spirit said too."

"The spiritual energy required for Yu Ling to transform into a deity is considerable. How did you manage to do it?"

Haoyi continued to ask.

Yunxi frowned almost imperceptibly, then replied:

“Your Excellency, this is what I gained in the secret realm. I acquired a top-grade spiritual vein, which is essential for my master to successfully achieve the Nascent Soul stage.”

Haoyi continued to press for answers:

"How did you manage to deliver the entire spiritual vein to your master's side?"

 My darlings, I'll upload two chapters first, and then upload the third chapter as soon as it's finished!
