Chapter 414 Shadowy Gray Python
Although Yunxi hadn't formed a bond with the little panda Lili, she trusted that Lili wouldn't lie to her, so she turned to ask Dian Dian:

"Dian Dian, can you smell the scent of heretical cultivators?"

Diandian sniffed and said:
“Master, I didn’t smell that special scent on the evil cultivator, but Boss Li Li’s eyes are very sharp, she shouldn’t be mistaken.”

"This is interesting. Taking advantage of the Tianlin Ship Clan cultivators delivering a message to me, they sent that gray snake to Lingxue Peak. What exactly are they planning?"

Yunxi was somewhat puzzled. She felt that the person behind the scenes wouldn't do such a futile effort; they must have their own purpose.

Just as Yunxi was pondering, a message talisman flew to her. It was from Venerable Yuling, asking her what had happened and why she had activated the protective formation of Lingxue Peak.

Since activating the protective formation burns spirit stones, it is not easily activated unless there are special circumstances. So she waved her sleeve to send Lili back into the space, then closed the formation and flashed to the "beehive".

"Master, today, people from Tianlin Shipping sent me a message under the name of Ye Yirui from Medicine King Valley, leaving a gray snake on Lingxue Peak. Tianlin Shipping has always had close ties with evil cultivators. Fearing something might happen, I activated the peak-protecting formation to trap the snake, intending to capture it alive. However, a problem arose during the snake-catching process."

As she continued speaking, Yunxi clearly lacked confidence.

Yu Ling glanced at her own disciple and said:

"The snake got away?"

"Yes, the gray snake was seriously injured, but it used its venom to corrode an escape route for itself. However, the gray snake's tail was cut off, so even if it escapes, it probably won't live long. My spirit pet said that the snake is strange and seems to be controlled by a wisp of a divided soul, but I couldn't smell any evil cultivator's aura on the gray snake."

After Yunxi finished speaking, she used her spiritual energy to outline the shape of the gray snake in the air, and then looked at Yu Ling.

Yu Ling glanced at it and said:
"This is the Shadowy Gray Python. It is highly venomous and can grow to the fifth rank. It is a spirit beast that demonic cultivators like to contract. It has strong combat power and a trace of dragon blood. If its bloodline awakens, it can break through to the sixth rank. After ascending to the Spirit Realm, it can continue to cultivate."

However, these Shadowy Gray Pythons require a large amount of rare and precious materials to cultivate before reaching the third rank, which is something ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford to raise.

After hearing this, Yunxi's mind took a wild turn and she said:
"Master, do you think they deliberately left the young Shadow Gray Python on Lingxue Peak so that I could form a contract with it?"

Yu Ling shook her head and said:
"I think it's more likely that the person behind this wants to use the Shadowy Gray Python to kill you. Don't underestimate that Shadowy Gray Python just because it's only at the third level. Its venom is enough to ruin your path to immortality. Of course, it also needs to have a chance to get close to you."

"Tsk, they're being way too obvious. How could I possibly fall for that?"

"Didn't you send your spirit pet to catch the snake? If it caught it, you wouldn't have checked it. As long as it gets close to you, that wisp of soul will definitely have a chance to invade your sea of ​​consciousness."

Yu Ling analyzed the situation realistically.

Yunxi felt a bit nauseous upon hearing this. Although she had no evidence, she was certain that only evil cultivators would do such a thing. If they couldn't do it openly, they would resort to underhanded methods. Fortunately, she wasn't so reckless and sent out Lili, a fourth-level cultivator. Lili's eyes were also very special, and she targeted the opponent's vital points, leaving the opponent with no choice but to run away.

"Master, please rest assured, I value my life very much and am very cautious even in the sect. That's why I activated the protective formation to capture the Shadowy Gray Python. I was afraid that the snake wouldn't have a chance to attack me and would instead go and harm other disciples."

"Are you sure you escaped, and not died?"

Yu Ling asked.

"Although it's a bit embarrassing, the snake did escape, but it was definitely injured. If no one had come to its aid, it would have certainly died."

Yunxi had great confidence in Lili's claws. After all, Lili was a fourth-level cultivator, equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator in humans. Although she looked soft and cute, she still had the necessary killing power; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become the leader of the monsters in the secret realm.

"Then we'll issue a notice within the sect tomorrow, asking everyone to keep an eye out for the Shadowy Gray Python."

"Yes."

Yunxi immediately agreed. In the middle of the night, the half-dead Shadow Python suddenly opened its eyes. Its green vertical pupils looked particularly eerie in the darkness. It flicked its tongue to determine its direction, then turned around and coiled its severed tail, exhaling gray gas. After an incense stick's time, the severed tail grew back.

Because of repairing its tail, the Shadow Python became extremely tired, but it still swam towards the mountain peak with a pleasant scent.

The next day, the Enforcement Hall issued a notice, asking sect disciples to keep an eye out for the trail of an injured Shadowy Gray Python. It stated that this was the spirit pet of True Monarch Ranxi of Lingxue Peak, and a portrait was attached. It also indicated that there would be a generous reward if any sect disciples could provide clues. It was also specifically noted that this spirit pet was of the third rank, and that if lower-rank disciples found it, they should not forcibly take it, but simply send the message to Lingxue Peak.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of True Monarch Ranxi, even the strength of her spirit pet is above ours."

"Of course! Otherwise, how can we help the True Lord? We can't just come back from a contract and worship him!"

"That's right, let's go take a stroll around Lingxue Peak, we might find something!"

"Yes, it would be even better if we could meet True Monarch Ranxi!"

The disciples then went together to search for the Shadowy Gray Python.

Wei Yunqing looked at the message jade slip in her hand, her brows furrowing, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes as she sneered:

"Hmph, how come I didn't know Wei Yunxi had such a spirit pet? She's clearly lying, trying to get a helper for free. I won't let her have her way."

After speaking, she put away the communication jade slip and looked at the gray shadow python coiled on the futon. She was certain that this shadow python had not been contracted by anyone.

She guessed that the third-tier Shadowy Gray Python was unwilling to form a contract with Wei Yunxi, so it risked its life to escape, but she happened to find it. This should be her good fortune.

In order to ask her for help, the Shadowy Gray Python even spat out a third-tier Shadowy Fruit that it was born with. This fruit was a spiritual fruit that could cure all poisons, so she took the Shadowy Gray Python back to her cave without hesitation.

Upon seeing this announcement, Wei Yunqing didn't hesitate for a moment. She immediately formed a hand seal and created a pact with the healing Shadowy Gray Python, with her as the master and the Shadowy Gray Python as the predator.

The moment the contract was established, a clear, youthful voice rang in her mind:
"Owner!"

"Okay, from now on you'll be called Shadow Extinguisher."

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master."

"You should heal your wounds first, and I will go find you some medicine to help you recover."

"Thank you, Master."

Yingxi immediately flicked his tongue and thanked him.

After Wei Yunqing left, the Shadowy Gray Python, which had been healing with its eyes closed, opened them. However, its dark green vertical pupils had been replaced by human eyes.

"Hmph! A mere cultivator who hasn't even established his Dao heart dares to dream of forming a contract with a true body? What wishful thinking!"

Then he left the meditation cushion and wandered around the cave.

Ling Xuefeng's Yunxi's eyelids twitched. She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, and the image of the shadowy gray python lingered in her mind.

Half a day has passed, and many disciples have come to provide clues, but they still haven't found any trace of the Shadowy Gray Python.
