Chapter 346 Ingenious Planning
“Master, you must not give up on yourself. Dian Dian will definitely be able to help you find more rare and precious materials to repair your dantian. You cannot curse yourself, nor can you abandon Dian Dian.”

Dian Dian's voice was trembling with tears.

Yunxi's lips curved slightly. She raised her hand, pinched the doll that was covering her mouth, and rubbed it in her hand, her smile widening.
"So that's why Diandian is so reluctant to part with me! Then I must work even harder, Master! Don't worry, with Master and Ancestor helping me find a way to repair my dantian, I won't have to go that far yet."

The little girl, who had been teary-eyed from being ravaged by her owner, brightened up again after hearing these words.

The atmosphere was relaxed on Yunxi's side, but the atmosphere inside the main hall of Haoran Peak was somewhat somber.

Grandmaster Haoyi sat in the main seat, with Yu Geng and Yu Feng standing beside him. Below them sat the three Venerables Hao Yan, Hao Hui, and Hao Qing. Yu Ling was the last to enter the hall.

Yu Ling first bowed respectfully to the seniors present, and then sat down at the very end, looking up at Venerable Haoyi at the head of the table.

Haoyi then spoke:

"I called you all here to tell you about my haul tonight."

After an incense stick had burned, everyone in the main hall learned about Haoyi's plans over the past six months, and that tonight they had finally caught the most deeply lurking rat.

Hao Yan's phoenix eyes were filled with admiration, but she also sighed:
"Who would have thought that an unknown Nascent Soul guest elder was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator who had concealed his cultivation level? If Senior Sister Haoyi hadn't made arrangements in advance, we might not have been able to reel in this big fish. What's even more despicable is that old bastard Haoting, who actually dared to betray the sect."

As she spoke, her expression turned quite grim.

Hao Hui's expression remained calm. He waved his hand and said:

"Haoting was also implicated by his family's younger generation. It was because his weakness was exploited by the evil cultivators that he was lured step by step into the mire."

Haoqing shook his head and said:
“When we embarked on the path of cultivation, we should have known that romantic love would only hinder our progress. It’s a pity that he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. His so-called weakness is something he exposed to others, which is why he was exploited by evil cultivators. Ultimately, it is because his Dao heart is unstable that others have an opportunity to take advantage of him.”

Yu Ling simply listened without offering any opinion. Everyone present was a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator from the Haoran Sect. Hao Ting was a cultivator from the same era as them, and they didn't have much interaction. He wouldn't make any rash comments.

After Venerable Haoyi and the others stopped talking, he continued:
"The corrupt cultivator who disguised himself as a Nascent Soul guest elder has been killed by me. Hao Ting's life will be spared. I plan to use this as a pretext to give them the formula for the Concealing Potion they want. However, I am still undecided about what to do with Yun Xi."

After saying that, he looked at Yu Ling at the very end.

Yu Ling understood and stood up, saying:
"Does the Ancestor want Yunxi to use this opportunity to fake her death and escape completely from the evil cultivators' sight?"

Venerable Haoyi nodded and said:

“I do have this idea. Firstly, her injuries have not yet healed, and she is currently unable to protect herself. You and I cannot always be by her side. Secondly, she is the successor of the Immortal Healer Sect. As long as the evil cultivators have not refined the concealment potion, she will not have a moment of peace. It is best for her to temporarily leave everyone’s sight.”

After listening, Yu Ling lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

“Ancestor, faking death to escape may not be able to deceive the evil cultivators. Moreover, having Yunxi 'fake' within the sect will not convince others. The Haoran Sect is not so weak that it cannot even protect its own disciples.”

Hao Yan blinked her phoenix eyes and said:
“Yu Ling is right. Although it’s just an excuse, we can’t be too perfunctory. We can’t damage the reputation of Haoran Sect. Besides, if we make it too obvious, not only will outsiders not believe it, but even evil cultivators might not buy it. They might even intensify their efforts on Yunxi.”

Since we can't fake our death to escape, we'll hide Yunxi away so no one can find her, not even Yu Ling.

Haoyi thought this method was quite good after hearing it, and looked at Yuling and said:
"What do you think?"

"Yu Ling will follow Senior Sister's arrangements, but I need to tell Yun Xi first, as she has her own ideas."

“Alright, let’s discuss how to get Haoting to send out the formula for the Concealing Essence Potion, and take this opportunity to completely eliminate the rats hiding in the sect.”

"Yes, Senior Sister (Ancestor)!"

Everyone in the hall responded in unison.

Early the next morning, a strong surge of spiritual energy emanated from Lingxue Peak. Half a breath later, a beam of icy blue sword light shot straight into the sky. Immediately afterwards, a beam of light swiftly escaped from Lingxue Peak, followed by two more beams of light emerging from the back mountain of the Haoran Sect and landing on Lingxue Peak in the blink of an eye. Then, all three beams of light departed Lingxue Peak and disappeared from the sect. This commotion alarmed most of the disciples within the Haoran Sect. Everyone turned their gaze to Lingxue Peak, their faces showing surprise, confusion, and worry, as they whispered among themselves to their familiar fellow disciples.

"Has something happened to Ling Xuefeng?"

"It seems so. You all saw the sword shadow just now, right? That was Venerable Yu Ling's natal sword, 'Ice Blue'!"

"Of course I saw it. Could someone who could make a Nascent Soul Venerable draw his sword be an ordinary person?"

"Indeed, and two Nascent Soul elders have also emerged from seclusion in the back mountain. It seems that this matter is somewhat troublesome."

"Do you think it's related to heretical cultivation practices?"

"It's hard to say."

"."

At this moment, Yu Geng and Yu Feng also stood suspended in mid-air, looking towards the direction of Lingxue Peak.

"Sect Leader, everything has been arranged within the sect. The rest is up to the three Venerables."

Yu Geng smoothed his sleeves and said:

“The three Venerable Ones would never make any mistakes in their work. If they weren’t afraid of there being even more deeply hidden traitors, they wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to stage this whole thing.”

“‘Dark Night Rain’ never speaks without a purpose. This time, even Ancestor Haoyi has come out of seclusion, so it must be foolproof.”

The moment the two communicated telepathically, almost all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were not in seclusion on the inner peak automatically and spontaneously gathered at Haoran Peak.

"Sect Leader, what happened to Ling Xuefeng?"

"Imperial Refinement Peak Master asked in a loud voice."

Yu Geng immediately said with a serious expression:

"I am not clear about the specifics either. We will only know when the three Venerables return. However, I have ordered the mountain gate to be closed temporarily to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. Please enter the hall and wait."

After the Nascent Soul True Monarchs entered the main hall, they were all whispering among themselves. After an incense stick had burned, three figures appeared in the main hall at the same time, and Yu Geng immediately stood up to greet them.

Leading the group was Venerable Haohui. Haoqing stood behind him, supporting the injured Yuling. Yuling's robes were stained with blood, her silver hair was disheveled, and her aura was clearly unstable.

This caused the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall to gasp in shock. Only a Nascent Soul cultivator could have injured Venerable Yu Ling, and their cultivation level must have been at least at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, Venerable Yu Ling would not have been in such a sorry state.

Hao Hui, abandoning his usual amiable demeanor, swept his gaze like a sword across the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the main hall, and said in a cold voice:

"Yu Geng, who recruited True Lord Liu Qichong, the guest elder of the inner peak, back to the sect?"

Yu Geng immediately replied respectfully:
"Liu Qichong voluntarily joined the sect during its fifty-year disciple recruitment ceremony."

"He's not some Nascent Soul cultivator, but a Deity Transformation Venerable!"

"what?"
