Chapter 404 Unthinkable
Xun Kun was in a hurry to return to the sect to report the matter. Yu Ling Venerable's disciple was seriously injured because of this, and the Kunmo Sect would definitely appreciate this favor. He would report to his master in detail after returning, so the sooner he returned, the better.

Venerable Yu Ling naturally had no reason to stop Xun Kun, and besides, his disciple was injured, so Ling Xuefeng couldn't very well keep a guest. Therefore, he said in a deep voice:

"The Enforcement Hall will bring Xin Qiujian's body here first thing tomorrow morning. You will stay at Lingxue Peak for now."

After Xun Kun entered the guest courtyard, Yu Ling went to the back mountain to see Ancestor Hao Yi.

At this moment, Haoqing was telling Haoyi, Haohui, and Haoyan about his trip to the Famous Sword Sect.

“Venerable Minghong is willing to stand with the Haoran Sect during the Five Regions Grand Competition. However, he suggested that this message be sent to the Huaxian Sect, as they are the sect hosting this competition. If any evil cultivators take action, they will only choose to do so in the Central Region. I have no objection.”

Ancestor Haoyi wasn't surprised at all; Minghong was much easier to talk to than Mingjia, so he said:

"You did the right thing. Let the Immortal Transformation Sect deal with these problems!"

As they were talking, Yu Ling appeared in front of the four of them.

Hao Yan, who had been somewhat listless, sat up straight upon seeing Yu Ling, her phoenix eyes narrowing as she asked:
"Yu Ling, who caused this commotion at Law Enforcement Peak?"

Yu Ling bowed to the four of them before speaking:

"It was the self-destruction of the evil cultivator's nascent soul. Fortunately, Yunxi intervened in time, preventing an irreversible situation. However, she herself was severely injured by the backlash and was just sent back to Lingxue Peak by me."

After hearing this, Haoqing frowned slightly and said:
"Xun Kun from the Kunmo Sect came to visit Yun Xi, so why did she go to the Law Enforcement Hall again?"

Because when Venerable Haoqing went to the Famous Sword Sect, Yunxi had not yet returned to the sect, so he did not know that Yunxi had killed a Kunmo Sect cultivator who had been possessed by an evil cultivator on her way back to the sect, hence his question.

Yu Ling briefly recounted what had happened, and added:

"Xun Kun is preparing to return to the Kunmo Sect tomorrow. He takes the matter of Xin Qiujian being possessed very seriously. However, I am worried that the evil cultivators might secretly attack Xun Kun. If something happens to him in the Western Regions, it will be difficult to explain to Venerable Linlang."

After hearing this, Haoqing finally couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Yu Ling, just say what you want to say. Why beat around the bush like this? Aren't you just worried that Xun Kun will get lost in the Western Regions and won't be able to get back to the Southern Regions?"

Yu Ling glanced at Venerable Hao Qing with her cold eyes, then coughed lightly and said:

“The fact that Xun and Kun cannot distinguish directions is something Venerable Linlang does not wish to be publicized.”

Upon hearing this, Hao Yan's phoenix eyes widened, and she asked:
"Haoqing, how did you find out about this?"

Hao Qing smiled slightly and said:

"It was quite a coincidence. On my way back to the sect, I encountered Xun Kun fighting with someone. I glanced over and saw that it was the people from Tianlin Flying Ship who were no match for Xun Kun and had abandoned ship and fled."

This kid can only control the flying boat himself, but I clearly saw that he set the destination to Haoran Sect, yet he controlled the flying boat to fly in the opposite direction.

While I was still wondering, the kid drove away in his flying boat, and I was so curious that I followed behind to watch.

A quarter of an hour later, he realized he was going the wrong way. He then used a magical artifact that could indicate direction to readjust his position and turn the flying boat around again. This time he was on the right track, but after flying for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he went off course again.

I found it amusing, so I showed myself and asked him what business he had with the Haoran Sect. He then produced Ling Xuefeng's visiting card, and I realized he was a guest invited by Yun Xi, so I brought him back along the way.

Upon hearing this, Hao Yan's phoenix eyes disappeared in laughter.

Hao Hui remembered this kid named Xun Kun. Yun Xi had joined forces with him to eliminate the evil flower in the new secret realm of Baohua Mountain. He was Lin Lang's beloved disciple from the Kunmo Sect. So he clicked his tongue and said, "He is a cultivator after all. How could he have such a weakness of not being able to distinguish directions? You know, cultivators can still use their divine sense. He is a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. He shouldn't be able to lose himself."

Yu Ling continued:
"Xun Kun's weakness is well hidden. Since he began cultivating, he has never gone out to train alone. He has mostly teamed up with his fellow disciples. Moreover, the number of times he has left the sect to train is very small, so not many people know about it."

Haoqing said with a smile:

"Fine, I'll go all the way. I brought her back, so I'll take responsibility for sending her back. At least the Kunmo Sect should owe our Haoran Sect a favor. Yunxi's injuries can't be for nothing."

Yu Ling had been waiting for these words, so she immediately cupped her hands and said:

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Haoqing."

After finishing this matter, Yu Ling continued:
"The 'worker bees' that were released have been sending back messages one after another. So far, no trace of evil cultivators has been found. It's just that with the Five Domains Competition approaching, many cultivators have flocked to the Central Domain."

"It's alright, let the Immortal Transformation Sect worry about this. I'm sure they'll take the message from the Famous Sword Sect seriously."

Hao Yi never oversteps her bounds; her only task is to ensure that no evil cultivators infiltrate the Hao Ran Sect and that the Western Regions remain stable.

Half an hour later, Yu Ling returned to the "Hive," while Xun Kun, who had checked into the guest courtyard, had already sent the message back to the Kunmo Sect using a communication jade slip.

After reading the message, Venerable Linlang crushed the chess piece in his hand into powder and snorted coldly:

"These evil cultivators are truly remarkable. They actually dared to set their sights on the Kunmo Sect. It's clear they don't take the number one sect in the Southern Region seriously!"

After muttering to himself, he went to see his ancestors.

The next morning, Xun Kun received a storage bag from the Enforcement Hall, containing Xin Qiujian's corpse, accompanied by Venerable Hao Qing.

Xun Kun immediately bowed respectfully, still wondering why Venerable Hao Qing had appeared.

Haoqing explained with a smile:
"The sect leader is worried that you might encounter trouble in the Western Regions, so he asked me to escort you. I also have something to discuss with your master, so it would be good for me to travel with you."

Xun Kun immediately understood that they were worried that something might happen to him in the Western Regions and that the Haoran Sect would take the blame, so they simply escorted him back to the Kunmo Sect.

Although Xun Kun felt it was a bit of an exaggeration, considering the self-destruction of the evil cultivator's Nascent Soul yesterday, he cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for your trouble, Venerable Haoqing."

Seeing that Xun Kun had understood the Haoran Sect's intentions, Hao Qing simply took him away from the sect.

Yunxi spent a full six months in seclusion this time, which allowed her to fully recover her meridians. After emerging from seclusion, she did not leave Lingxue Peak, but released Dian Dian and Feixia, who had broken free from her cocoon, into the space.

Diandian circled around Yunxi several times before throwing herself into Yunxi's arms and crying:
"Master, how did you get injured again? I could sense it in the space. Who has the ability to inflict such a serious injury on you?"

The situation was urgent, and Yunxi only had time to send the dots from her sleeve into her spatial dimension, so the dots did not know that it was the self-destruction of a wicked cultivator's nascent soul.

Yunxi patted Dian Dian's head to comfort her:
"Your master is very lucky and will not easily give himself up. However, this time it was indeed a bit dangerous. The evil cultivator's nascent soul that I captured actually self-destructed. Fortunately, when I released the nascent soul, I had already used lightning-type magic to consume some of his power, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

 Feng Lingka pulled out several strands of hair. There will be another chapter later, in which the female protagonist will be heading to the Central Region.
