Chapter 402 Evil Soul Self-Destruction
Upon hearing the name, Xun Kun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before speaking:

“Xin Qiujian is indeed a disciple of the Kunmo Sect, but he has been away from the sect for training for fifty years and has returned to the sect only a handful of times. He only goes back occasionally to hand in missions. He is considered a relatively low-profile Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect and has never taken on any disciples.”

After hearing Xun Kun's explanation, Yun Xi understood why the evil cultivator chose to possess Xin Qiujian. Xin Qiujian had a very low profile in the sect and pursued a solitary path of cultivation. Moreover, he rarely returned to the sect. Even if he did get into trouble while traveling, it would probably take a long time for the truth to be discovered.

Seeing that Yunxi remained silent for a long time, Xunkun spoke up:

"Did he do something to offend the Haoran Sect?"

Yunxi nodded and said:

"He used 'Bao Jun Xun Yue' as his vanguard, intending to weaken my strength before reaping the benefits and assassinating me."

Before she could finish speaking, Xun Kun frowned. Yun Xi didn't give Xun Kun a chance to interrupt and continued:

"Unfortunately, he was outmatched and was killed by me. In order to escape, he abandoned his physical body and fled with his nascent soul. However, I discovered that he was not the real Xin Qiujian, but an evil spirit."

Upon hearing this, Xun Kun's pupils contracted, then his eyes sharpened, and he asked in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, do you have any evidence for what you're saying?"

"Naturally, I have taken the corpse and the nascent soul back to the sect. Since it concerns the Kunmo Sect, I have sealed the evil soul away and will interrogate it after you arrive. After all, we are not familiar with the real Xinqiu Sword."

Xun Kun rubbed his fingers together, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:
"In that case, let's go and interrogate them now. I want to see what kind of scheme this evil cultivator is up to."

If what Wei Yunxi said is true, then could there be similar beings within the Kunmo Sect? Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch like Xin Qiujian has fallen for this trick, so what about other high-level cultivators? Xun Kun dared not think any further.

Yunxi admired Xunkun's decisiveness and took him straight to the Hall of Law Enforcement.

Hao Song Zhenjun, who was on duty at the Enforcement Hall today, received Yun Xi's message in advance. When Yun Xi brought Xun Kun into the main hall, he had already placed Xin Qiujian's corpse in the side hall for Xun Kun to identify. The jade bottle that sealed the evil soul was also placed on the jade table in the main hall, waiting for Yun Xi to unseal it.

Xun Kun first examined Xin Qiujian's corpse. Looking at the mangled body, his lips twitched. He felt that Wei Yunxi's attacks were becoming more and more ruthless.

Yunxi coughed lightly and explained:

“At that time, I had just had a conflict with ‘Bao Jun Xun Yue’ and was worried about getting into a war of attrition, so I decided to finish the fight quickly and therefore hit him a little harder.”

Xun Kun nodded in understanding. If he were the one being chased and intercepted by three Nascent Soul cultivators in turn, he would also choose to fight quickly and eliminate them one by one. However, this time, the ones who were killed were cultivators from their Kunmo Sect, so he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

"This person is indeed Xin Qiujian of our sect."

Xun Kun gave an affirmative answer.

Standing to the side, True Monarch Haosong stroked his goatee and said:
"Then let's examine this evil spirit and see when Fellow Daoist Xin was replaced."

After saying that, he raised his hand and used his spiritual power to suspend the jade bottle in mid-air. Then he looked at Yunxi. When sealing the evil soul, Yunxi used a bloodline secret technique, so only she could undo it.

Yunxi nodded, then used a hand seal to break the seal on the jade bottle.

The moment the seal was broken, a small nascent soul emanating gray energy rushed out of the jade bottle, seemingly making a final struggle, but Yun Xi caught it with a net of lightning power. Then she casually said:
"Where do you think you're going? Did I give you permission to run away?"

The little nascent soul was forced to undergo a baptism of lightning power from the inside out, its facial expression turning ferocious. The gray aura within its body was dissipating at a visible rate, and the nascent soul had shrunk in size. In the end, the opponent could only shout:

"Please spare me, True Lord! I won't run anymore, please stop!"

Yunxi then withdrew the lightning net and looked at Xunkun, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Xunkun, we may now begin the interrogation."

Xun Kun looked at the small Nascent Soul cultivator who bore absolutely no resemblance to Xin Qiujian, and knew that Yun Xi was not lying. He asked in a cold voice:

"When did you possess Xin Qiujian?" The Nascent Soul glanced at Yun Xi before answering:
“When he was tormented by his inner demons.”

"How long have you been in this body?"

"Five years."

"What is the mission this time?"

"Intercept and kill Wei Yunxi."

Xun Kun sneered:

"With your abilities, didn't you ever consider that you might fail and be completely incapable of completing this task?"

A look of madness appeared on the little nascent soul's face as he said:

"As long as Wei Yunxi is seriously injured, it will not only solve a big problem, but also provoke conflict between Haoran Sect and Kunmo Sect."

I was already prepared to abandon my physical body, which makes it more realistic and convincing. The Kunmo Sect will not stand idly by and watch a Nascent Soul disciple be killed. This will only deepen the conflict between you two sides.”

"Hmph! You underestimated Fellow Daoist Wei's strength, so now you're the one who got captured!"

Xun Kun cut off the other party's "wild imagination," and his words pierced the other party's heart.

The little nascent soul's face became even more distorted, and then suddenly began to swell, a sign that the nascent soul was about to self-destruct.

Haosong Zhenjun instinctively tried to stop the Nascent Soul from self-destructing, and in his excitement, he plucked off a tuft of beard from his chin.

Yunxi acted first. The moment the seal was broken, her divine sense lingered on the other party, constantly monitoring the state of the nascent soul. When the other party was about to self-destruct, she immediately raised her hand and opened her "Wind and Snow Domain" to trap the nascent soul within it.

A look of surprise flashed across the Nascent Soul's face, followed by a look of unfulfilled hatred. However, the self-destruction was already unstoppable, and finally, a muffled "bang" echoed out of the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.

This time, Yunxi's "Snowstorm Domain" was shattered by the immense power of the self-destruction. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly turned deathly pale, and she was sent flying out of the hall.

Yunxi was unable to mobilize her spiritual power at this moment and was about to land face down when the Nine Nether Dragon Umbrella appeared in her hand. The opened Umbrella steadily supported her, and the black dragon on the surface of the umbrella instantly appeared, with a high-pitched dragon roar resounding throughout the sect.

The lifelike, enormous black dragon had left the umbrella, its tail tightly binding and protecting Yunxi, while its raised head stared menacingly at Haosong and Xunkun, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Hao Song's hand trembled with excitement, and he plucked out a few more hairs from his beard. Xun Kun, having witnessed the power of the magic weapon in Yun Xi's hand, took two steps back before speaking:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you alright?"

Yunxi had calmed her breathing by now, wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, and said:

"I'm fine."

Then he transmitted his voice to the spirit of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella:
"Hei Yao, I'm alright, come back!"

Black Obsidian then slowly shrank back to the umbrella surface and was then absorbed into Yunxi's dantian.

Yu Ling's figure appeared at that moment, dressed in white with silver hair and exuding a powerful aura, causing Hao Song and Xun Kun to subconsciously bow in greeting.

Yu Ling simply waved his hand; he was only concerned about his disciple at the moment.

"Yunxi, are you injured?"

　See you tomorrow, babies~
