Chapter 370 Living towards death
After Yunxi followed the evil cultivator into the cave, she frowned. The entire cave was filled with a nauseating smell of blood and decay, accompanied by evil energy that was trying to seep into her body, but was blocked by her robe.

Almost the instant she stepped into the cave, Yunxi locked onto Xiao Lei, who was struggling to climb out of the blood pool. The sight of her was appalling; her face was an unnatural flush, and her robes were practically naked. In particular, the fleeting gray light in Xiao Lei's eyes led Yunxi to conclude that it was only a matter of time before she fell into evil.

Meanwhile, the thirty-odd puppets controlled by the evil cultivator surrounded Yunxi, staring at her with their gray pupils, awaiting further orders.

Yunxi said coldly:
"Thank you for bringing me in."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella began to spin again in her hand, and sharp wind blades attacked the puppets that surrounded her. The evil cultivator seemed to know the power of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella in Yun Xi's hand, and he jumped into the blood pool almost at the same time the wind blades flew out.

The next instant, the puppet that was not hit by the wind blade rushed towards Yunxi and began to self-destruct its golden core, trying to kill Yunxi in this suicidal way.

Yunxi had sensed something was wrong as soon as the evil cultivator jumped into the blood pool. So when the first controlled puppet rushed over, she noticed that the energy fluctuations on the other party were abnormal. She cursed "despicable" in her heart and threw out a red rope, which wrapped around Xiao Lei's wrist. At the moment the golden core self-destructed, she took the unconscious Xiao Lei and flashed into the space.

Almost at the same time that Yunxi and Xiaolei disappeared, the entire blood pool space was blasted into ruins by the self-destructing Golden Core puppets. Although Yunxi's wind blades killed 90% of the evil cultivator puppets, due to the suppression of the secret realm's cultivation level, three puppets still completed their suicidal command, leveling the area within a hundred miles.

Yunxi stayed in the space for a very short time. She cast an isolation shield on Xiao Lei, then flicked a small wisp of Xuan Lei Zi Yan into her body before quickly flashing out of the space. That evil cultivator must die.

Dian Dian was still a little confused until Yun Xi asked it to track the fleeing evil cultivator. Only then did Dian Dian start twitching its nose and trying hard to distinguish the smells in the air.

Yunxi frowned as she looked at the evil energy that was spreading due to the destruction of the blood pool. If left unchecked, the entire secret realm would be polluted by the evil energy, and this place would truly become a paradise for evil cultivators. She had no choice but to awaken the sleeping Ziyan.

"Purple Smoke, we need your help."

Ziyan swayed in Yunxi's palm, as if she had just woken up. As if sensing something, she drifted towards the place where the evil energy was most concentrated without Yunxi having to explain.

The next instant, the purple flames spread like oil in a pan, instantly engulfing an area of ​​hundreds of miles and beginning to burn away the scattered evil energy. Yunxi once again felt the loss of spiritual energy within her body, but this time it was within her tolerance.

She simply hovered above the flames, holding the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, and scanned every inch of the secret realm with her divine sense, trying to find the escaped evil cultivator.

All the creatures in the entire secret realm wished they could bury themselves. The intense sense of crisis made them either tremble or keep their mouths shut, refusing to make any sound that might attract Yunxi's attention.

Dian Dian transmitted her voice with some annoyance:

"Master, the scattered evil energy has masked the scent of that evil cultivator. Has he already left the secret realm?"

"No, he can't possibly be faster than me."

Yunxi was confident in this. The evil puppet's self-destruction of its golden core could severely injure her, and it could also kill an evil cultivator of equal cultivation. She had a spatial dimension, but the other party did not.

Therefore, she was quite certain that the evil cultivator must have been hiding in an extremely secluded place to avoid the destructive power of the self-destruction of the golden core. She simply did not believe that the other party could remain hidden forever.

Just then, Ziyan's lazy voice entered Yunxi's mind:
"Master, there's a fish that slipped through the net!"

As Yunxi's divine sense locked onto the target, a disheveled figure burst from the ground, attempting to escape, but was instantly engulfed by purple flames. "Ah! No!"

The evil cultivator screamed in agony.

The shrill sound made Yunxi pick her ears, and it also startled the monsters in the secret realm, making them want to flee to a more distant place.

The evil cultivator was instantly reduced to ashes under the licking of the Xuan Lei Zi Yan.

The evil energy scattered throughout the secret realm was completely destroyed by the burning of the Xuan Lei Zi Yan. Only then did Zi Yan shrink her body in satisfaction, turning into a purple flame, returning to Yun Xi's palm, and then being sent back to her dantian.

Yunxi then slowly descended, looking at the scorched ground. She could only resign herself to scattering a large number of low-level spirit seeds with a wave of her sleeve. Then, she used her spiritual power to draw a spirit-gathering talisman in the air, and then waved her sleeve to slap it into the ground. She then cast a large-scale rain spell to encourage the spirit seeds to germinate as soon as possible, and only then did she stop, satisfied.

After doing all this, she released her capsule house again and then moved Xiao Lei out of the space. The whole process was very smooth and Xiao Lei, who was being tormented by Xuan Lei Zi Yan, did not notice.

Just moments before, Xiao Lei had struggled to climb out of the blood pool, but the next second she felt as if she had been thrown into a volcano. Her whole body felt like it was being soaked in scalding liquid, with every inch of her skin, every blood vessel, and every meridian being repeatedly burned. She screamed in agony and rolled around on the ground.

But no matter how much she cried out, no one responded. She struggled to escape again, but she couldn't leave this small space until she lost all her strength. Then, the scalding fire rushed into her mind again. At this point, she was too weak to cry out anymore. She just hugged her head and resigned herself to waiting for death.

Yunxi looked at the dying Xiao Lei with helplessness. If the evil energy that had seeped into her body was not completely removed, even if it was suppressed now, it would eventually erupt one day, and then she would become a completely evil cultivator.

Previously, Ziyan was not awake, so the strange fire that Yunxi flicked into Xiao Lei's body only burned the evil energy in her body on instinct, which inevitably caused some chaos. After Ziyan woke up, she tried her best to control the burning and prevent the strange fire from damaging her meridians. However, the evil energy that rushed into the other party's sea of ​​consciousness was very cunning and wanted to avoid Ziyan's burning.

Now is the crucial moment, and Yunxi has no choice but to transmit her voice into the other party's sea of ​​consciousness:
"Xiao Lei, I am here to save you at the request of your brother. Your brother is not a fallen cultivator. Everything he did before was to infiltrate the ranks of evil cultivators."

If you perish or become a puppet of the evil cultivator, he will hate himself for the rest of his life and ruin himself, so you must hold on.

Perhaps Yunxi's words had an effect; Xiao Lei, whose consciousness was already somewhat scattered, moved her lips with difficulty and bit down hard again, trying to keep herself awake.

After an incense stick's time, the Xuanlei Purple Smoke drifted out from Xiao Lei's body and returned to Yun Xi's hand.

Yunxi put away the strange fire and whispered in the other's ear:

"Xiao Lei, you can go to sleep now."

Xiao Lei then fainted in relief.

Yunxi cast a purification spell on Xiao Lei, changed her into a new robe, and put a healing pill in her mouth before taking her to her room.
