Chapter 403 Extremely Insidious
Yunxi tried to calm her surging blood and qi. A quick scan with her divine sense revealed that cracks had appeared in her meridians again. She said to Venerable Yuling:
"Master, the evil spirit's nascent soul self-destructed, breaking through my 'Wind and Snow Domain,' and I... I was attacked by the backlash."

As soon as she finished speaking, blood oozed from the corner of her lips again. She could barely stand up, and her voice was weak and feeble.

Yu Ling's already cold expression turned even colder. She glanced at Hao Song, causing Hao Song's face to stiffen, and he immediately cupped his hands in greeting:
“Venerable Yuling, I have handled this matter improperly and am willing to accept the punishment.”

Yu Ling's cold face remained expressionless; he simply nodded and said:

"You handle the rest. I'll send Yunxi back to heal her injuries first. Young friend Xunkun, come with me to Lingxue Peak."

"Yes."

This time, both of them responded quickly.

Yu Ling then carried the unsteady Yun Xi and Xun Kun away from the Enforcement Hall.

After everyone left, Hao Song straightened up and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. He could tell that Yun Xi's injury had displeased Venerable Yu Ling, and it was also his fault for being careless. He hadn't expected that with the three of them at the Nascent Soul stage, the evil cultivator's Nascent Soul would recklessly self-destruct, clearly trying to drag the three of them down with him.

At this moment, three streaks of light landed in front of the Hall of Law Enforcement. After they revealed themselves, someone immediately said:
"Senior Brother Haosong, what happened?"

"Senior Brother Haosong, I have sealed off the Enforcement Peak and the nearby peaks, and temporarily closed the dungeon."

"Senior Brother Haosong, should we recall all the disciples from the Enforcement Peak?"

The three Nascent Soul True Lords who spoke were the heads of the first, second, and third halls of the Enforcement Hall, each responsible for the affairs of a branch hall. The three halls overlapped but did not intersect. Their simultaneous appearance was due to the commotion in the Enforcement Hall earlier, which led them to believe that evil cultivators were causing trouble again, hence their swift reaction.

Hao Song looked at the damaged main hall of the Enforcement Hall and sighed:

"Just now, Junior Sister Wei Yunxi from Lingxue Peak assisted me in interrogating the evil cultivator. As a result, the other party self-destructed his nascent soul, trying to take the three of us down with him. Fortunately, Junior Sister Wei reacted quickly and drew the self-destructing nascent soul into her own domain. However, she was seriously injured and was taken back to Lingxue Peak by Venerable Yuling."

The dragon's roar just now was Wei's natal magic weapon automatically protecting its master. If she hadn't been conscious, it's likely that I and that fellow Daoist Xunkun from the Kunmo Sect would be injured right now.

After saying that, she revealed an envious look in her eyes. That was a magic weapon that could automatically protect its master. It must have developed a weapon spirit, or at the very least, a spiritual weapon. When fighting against enemies, the difference between a magic weapon with an awakened weapon spirit and an ordinary magic weapon would be immediately apparent. Otherwise, cultivators in the cultivation world would not be so eager to acquire high-level magic weapons.

The three hall masters exchanged a glance, their astonishment flashing across their faces. That was a Nascent Soul cultivator self-destructing. If the evil cultivator had succeeded, not only would the Enforcement Hall have been destroyed, but the entire Enforcement Peak would have been razed to the ground.

Don't underestimate the power of a Nascent Soul self-destruction. If a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were to risk their life by self-destructing their Nascent Soul, even a Deity Transformation cultivator would be injured, let alone a cultivator of the same level.

All three of them were overjoyed. Then, under Hao Song's leadership, they began to clean up the mess. It was at this time that Zhou Lingchuan was sent to the Enforcement Peak to understand what had happened and to assist Hao Song Zhenjun in handling the aftermath.

The Enforcement Hall issued a sect announcement in a very short time to inform the sect disciples what had happened and to urge them not to panic. When the sect disciples learned that it was the work of evil cultivators again, their anger flared up even more.

"Pah! These evil cultivators are like rats in the gutter, always popping out to jump around every now and then, as if they're afraid we'll forget about them."

"That's right, they still use the self-destruction Nascent Soul technique, which is impossible to guard against. If the evil cultivator had succeeded, we would all have been in trouble. Fortunately, True Lord Wei intervened in time."

"I was still shaken when I said that," a Foundation Establishment disciple said.

For a disciple of his level, the self-destruction of a Nascent Soul cultivator would be a catastrophe, leaving him no chance of escape.

"The Five Regions Grand Competition is imminent. I heard that True Monarch Wei registered a long time ago. Is the evil cultivator trying to eliminate the most promising cultivator in the sect?"

Some immediately began to speculate on the evil cultivator's motives. "Senior Brother Cen, your guess might be right. You know, True Lord Wei fought three True Lords in a row with his mid-Nascent Soul strength and escaped unscathed. He must have been targeted by the evil cultivator."

"Tsk, your news is outdated. I heard that True Lord Wei only killed one Nascent Soul stage Fallen Cultivator, but it caused the very loving rogue cultivators 'Bao Jun Xun Yue' to turn against each other."

"real or fake?"

"It's true, this is firsthand information, updated yesterday by the 'Know-It-All' senior."

The disciple, who loved gossip, immediately pulled out a jade slip to prove the accuracy of his information.

One of the disciples immediately said:
“Wei Zhenjun has been bestowed a Daoist title by Venerable Yuling. From now on, we shall address him as Ranxi Zhenjun. Haven’t you received this news within your sect?”

"I know about this. It was Elder Han from the Disciples' Hall who spread the word."

"Do you think it's time for True Monarch Ranxi to take on disciples?"

"Huh? I really didn't remember that until you mentioned it!"

"The main problem is that True Monarch Ranxi is too young, a Nascent Soul True Monarch who is not even fifty years old. If we could become True Monarch Ranxi's disciple..."

With the crisis resolved, the disciples' conversation gradually veered off-topic.

Upon returning to Lingxue Peak, Venerable Yuling first used his own ice spiritual power to help Yunxi calm the chaotic backlash within her body. Then, he gave Yunxi a Small Rejuvenation Pill before speaking:

"Yunxi, go and heal your wounds first. I will discuss the rest with Xunkun."

Yunxi's complexion was slightly better than before, and she forced herself to speak to Xunkun:
"I apologize for startling Fellow Daoist Xunkun!"

Xun Kun immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, there's no need to apologize. This was not what we wanted. I should thank you for your timely intervention, otherwise I would be the one injured now. You should heal your wounds first, and we can discuss other matters after you've recovered."

Yunxi nodded reluctantly, and then her master waved her away, sending her back to her own courtyard.

After confirming that Yunxi had begun meditating to heal her internal injuries, Yu Ling turned to Xun Kun and said:
"Yunxi invited you to the Haoran Sect as a guest because she didn't want the fact that evil cultivators had infiltrated the Kunmo Sect to be exposed too early. However, she didn't expect that the evil cultivators would take such a risk and actually want you to be harmed or seriously injured in the Haoran Sect. Only that girl Yunxi is vigilant enough. If the evil cultivators really succeed, there will probably be friction between the Haoran Sect and the Kunmo Sect, and between myself and Venerable Linlang."

Xun Kun immediately replied:

"Your Excellency is overthinking this. The fault lies with the evil cultivator. If Fellow Daoist Wei had not captured Xin Qiujian, I fear even more bad things would have happened to the Kunmo Sect. I am deeply grateful."

Yu Ling was satisfied with Xun Kun's statement and then pushed a recording jade in front of him:

"This was given to me by Yunxi after she returned to the sect. It contains the whole story of her encounter with Xin Qiujian, who was possessed. Now that the evil cultivator has self-destructed his nascent soul, all the clues have been cut off."

However, we have already tracked down his movements in the Western Regions. You can refer to that information; it should be able to connect it to his activities in the Southern Regions, making it easier for you to follow the clues.

Xun Kun bowed in thanks, accepted the recording jade and put it into his storage ring. After considering for a moment, he said:

“Venerable Yu Ling, this junior wishes to bring Xin Qiujian’s body back to the sect and prepares to return to the Southern Region tomorrow.”
