Chapter 342 Tragically Falling into a Trap
Hearing this, Yunxi understood immediately. She suppressed her smile and said:

"Venerable Haoyi, what exactly do you want to know from this junior?"

Haoyi's smile remained unchanged as she said:

"That depends on how much you want me to know."

The ball was kicked back, which immediately put Yunxi on high alert. Almost instinctively, the flower-shaped magical artifact between her eyebrows appeared.

Venerable Haoyi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yunxi's brow, the deeper meaning in his eyes becoming even more apparent.

Yun Xi frowned and said:
"Your Excellency may ask whatever you wish to know. I will answer if I can, and if not..."

"You don't have to say it."

Venerable Haoyi was quite generous; before asking her question, she dropped a bombshell on Yunxi:

"Zuoqiu has escaped from Haoran Sect."

Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and said with some disbelief:

"Master said he entered the Hall of Enforcement, how could he have escaped so easily?"

Venerable Haoyi calmly replied:

"He abandoned his physical body."

Yunxi's mind raced, then she frowned and said:
“Venerable one, someone in the sect is secretly helping him. Could it be that a fallen cultivator used a soul-nourishing stone to take him out of the sect?”

"You reacted quite quickly. The Soul Nourishing Stone you gave to Haohui is now in my possession."

After thinking for a moment, Yunxi guessed why Haoyi had come looking for her.

"Venerable one, this junior only obtained one Soul Nourishing Stone, which was borrowed from the Cold Lotus True Monarch of the Northern Extreme Cold Sect. It was so that the soul of True Monarch Yu Su would have a place to rest, and it would also be convenient for him to confront the fake 'Yu Su' True Monarch after returning to the sect."

Also present at the time was Yunchen, a Buddhist disciple of Yunmen Temple, who can testify to my testimony.

“I have already extracted that evil soul, but Yu Su cannot return to her body for the time being. Her physical body needs to be purified, and she will need to stay in the Soul Nourishing Stone for a while.”

Yunxi asked curiously:
"Why did the Venerable One tell this to a junior?"

Venerable Haoyi put away his smile and said:

"I hope you will help me find the traitor within the sect. The Haoran Sect cannot produce a second Zuoqiu."

Although Yunxi didn't know how she, a half-crippled person, could be of any help, she still cupped her hands and said:

"I will do my best, but I don't know how I can be of any help."

Venerable Haoyi smiled again and said:

"I really like 'Hua Yan'. I wonder if Yun Xi would be willing to part with her?"

Yunxi felt the topic had circled back to the beginning. She touched her nose and didn't say anything this time. She waved her sleeve and released two vials of medicine, which were the "Flower Face" that she had prepared in her space according to the formula. The one for Wei Nanfeng was also prepared by her. She couldn't bear to give the one that the Medical Immortal Sect had kept to that old guy.

Looking at the potion before her, Venerable Haoyi's smile deepened. She waved her sleeve to put away "Flower Beauty" before speaking:

Why was this medicine given to Wei Nanfeng?

Yunxi calmly replied:
"He wanted to benefit from the younger generation while also supporting Wei Yunqing to oppose them. He played the balancing act very well. Unfortunately, the younger generation was not a pawn in his hands, nor did he want to see the Wei family become a ladder for his advancement."

A person as unworthy of his position and selfish as him is unfit to lead the Wei family. The younger generation is merely taking precautions to prevent future troubles and pave the way for the family's future.

"Your methods are good, but you're a bit too hasty."

Venerable Haoyi offered his fair assessment.

"Does Your Excellency not think that this junior is ruthless, even scheming against the patriarch of his own family?"

Yunxi countered with a question. Venerable Haoyi waved his hand and said:

“Wei Nanfeng is no good, and besides, he has already been expelled from the Haoran Sect. His life or death has nothing to do with the sect. It is just a family matter of the Wei family. You don’t need to worry that I will interfere. I just want ‘Hua Yan’.”

This potion has been lost in the Weiyu Realm for a thousand years. The old man from the Medical Immortal Sect was unwilling to sell 'Flower Beauty' to me, but now a disciple of the Haoran Sect has obtained his inheritance, which makes me very happy.

Yunxi could only give an awkward smile. It was a difficult question to answer, since she was now considered half a successor of the Medical Immortal Sect.

Venerable Haoyi continued:
"Don't worry, I won't use 'Hua Yan' for anything bad. It's just that there are a few people in the sect whose identities cannot be verified. I want to drop a bombshell. You'd better not leave the sect anytime soon."

Yunxi was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded and said:

“Venerable one, I am now half a cripple and cannot leave the sect.”

"I know, I'm just reminding you to be careful. If I use 'Flower Face,' they will definitely come looking for the antidote."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi was so angry that her nostrils flared up instantly. This Venerable Haoyi was clearly trying to trick her.

Yunxi took a sip of spiritual tea to calm herself down. At least her master at Lingxue Peak wouldn't let her get into danger, but she was still a little annoyed and muttered in a low voice:
"If there is suspicion, why not arrest him and interrogate him directly? Why go through all this trouble?"

"Sigh! It's so hard to catch people like this!"

"Then just kill them! Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"

Yunxi's words definitely contained an element of spite; she was just too frustrated because she was about to become the target of their attacks.

"Haha! Your personality is quite similar to mine."

Venerable Haoyi laughed even more heartily, blinked, and said:
"I will consider your suggestion, but you'd better not leave your sect before the Five Sects Grand Competition. The people from the Immortal Transformation Sect have been secretly keeping an eye on you."

After the secret realm of Baohua Mountain closed, it disappeared again. They suspect you refined the secret realm and brought it back to the Haoran Sect. You'd better be careful.

Yunxi was even more exasperated upon hearing this. That was a fragment of a small world that had already developed consciousness, not something she could refine at will. The other party had only offered her one reward, making her risk her life to injure Li Chang and destroy the evil flower. They were incredibly cunning, and she wouldn't take the blame for that.

"Wei Yunxi hereby swears that he did not refine the new secret realm that appeared in Baohua Mountain Range. If he tells even one lie, may he be struck by lightning and forever banished from the path to immortality."

As soon as she finished speaking, the rules of heaven and earth descended, proving that she was not lying.

Haoyi nodded in satisfaction, now that she knew everything she wanted to know. She stood up and said:

"Take good care of your injuries. I'll come and talk to you again when I have time."

After saying that, she disappeared from the spot, leaving Yunxi alone to sigh for a long time. She wanted to say that there was no need to come looking for her to talk, and that she was going to go into seclusion.

At this moment, Venerable Haoyi appeared at the summit of Lingxue Peak, where Yu Ling had been waiting for a long time.

"Ancestor Haoyi!"

Haoyi waved her hand with a smile and said:

"Don't call me old. Now you can call me Senior Sister too."

"I dare not."

Yu Ling immediately cupped her hands in greeting.

He was absolutely telling the truth. Because of the special nature of the cultivation method he practiced, Venerable Haoyi was a senior ancestor who had existed since the founding of the Haoran Sect. He was a cultivator from the same era as the founding ancestor who had already ascended to immortality.

Based on what Venerable Haohui had told him before, he knew that Zuoqiu's betrayal had alarmed this ancestor, and this ancestor was most likely the leader of "Dark Night Rain".

Venerable Haoyi sat casually at the jade table and said with a smile:

“Your apprentice is very interesting. She is hiding many secrets, knows how to protect herself, and even helped you avert a calamity. You must protect her well.”
