Chapter 431 Sowing the Seeds of Disaster
"Master, are you referring to that Foundation Establishment female cultivator we met before named Jin Can, who gave True Monarch Xunkun an aphrodisiac? Tsk tsk! She's really bold, daring to use such methods on a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

Dian Dian peeked out from Yun Xi's sleeve and said in disbelief.

Yunxi shrugged and said:
"Perhaps he is infatuated with the True Lord Xunkun, or perhaps he has other plans."

Yunxi had no intention of meddling in other people's private affairs, which was why Xunkun came to her for help; otherwise, she wouldn't have offered to help.

Yunxi didn't know how Xunkun ultimately handled Jincan's matter. It was only in the following days that Yunxi was alarmed by the frequent challenges from the disciples of Haoran Sect by the cultivators of Kunmo Sect, which resulted in some disciples being injured.

Yunxi frowned, informed Venerable Haoyan, and then flashed off to the arena of the Immortal Transformation Sect.

Before she even showed herself, she saw the disciples of the Kunmo Sect surrounding Qin Tongshuang and Long Daoyu.

Both of them passed the sect's selection process and ultimately joined the Haoran Sect's team.

Both Qin Tongshuang and Long Daoyu were at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and they clearly wanted to compete in the Foundation Establishment stage battle. At this moment, they were both annoyed by the difficulty of the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Kunmo Sect, but they did not accept the challenge in a moment of rashness.

Yunxi raised her hand and sent a message talisman to Xunkun, asking him to come to the arena of the Immortal Transformation Sect.

After receiving Yunxi's message talisman, Xun Kun immediately appeared on the side of the outer gate's arena. This was mainly because cultivators from various regions were gathered here, making it the most lively place and difficult to miss.

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, what brings you here in such a hurry?"

When Xun Kun saw Yun Xi, he cupped his hands and asked.

Yunxi didn't turn her head, but simply pointed to the two people surrounded by Kunmo Sect disciples and said:

"The two disciples surrounded are from the Haoran Sect and are at the Foundation Establishment stage. They have already been on the arena once today, and as I instructed, they cannot participate in the competition again today, so they refused the challenge. However, the disciples from the Kunmo Sect are being quite persistent, which is probably inappropriate."

Xun Kun's divine sense was not just for show; he could discern the general situation simply by observing the robes worn by the opposing sides. He pursed his lips and transmitted a message to the leading Kunmo Sect disciple.

The leading disciple's expression changed. He looked around but couldn't find True Monarch Xunkun. He then said to his fellow disciples:
"let's go."

Then he turned and left first. When the other disciples of the Kunmo Sect saw that the person who had issued the challenge had left, they also left.

Qin Tongshuang and Long Daoyu exchanged a glance and then left the arena.

Xun Kun, somewhat embarrassed, cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, it is the disciples of the Kunmo Sect who are making unreasonable demands."

Yunxi raised her hand to stop the other party from apologizing:
"Fellow Daoist Xunkun, it is common for disciples to spar with each other. However, the competition will officially begin in two days, so I will only allow them to go to the arena once a day in order to maintain their good condition."

However, in the past three days, disciples of the Haoran Sect have been frequently injured, and all of these incidents occurred during sparring sessions with disciples of the Kunmo Sect. Their apologies were quite sincere, saying that they had gotten carried away with the fight and thus made a mistake.

Fellow Daoist Xunkun, do you believe what you're saying?

Xun Kun felt his face burning and coughed lightly, preparing to explain, but Yun Xi didn't give him the chance, saying bluntly:
"Fellow Daoist Xunkun, is it because I helped you identify the aphrodisiac that Jin Can didn't get what she wanted, and now the people behind her are causing trouble for the Haoran Sect?"

This was the only reason she could think of. Her only connection to the Kunmo Sect was Xunkun Zhenjun. Xin Qiujian, whom she had killed, had also been confirmed to have been possessed by an evil cultivator. In fact, the Kunmo Sect still owed the Haoran Sect and her a favor, so there was no reason for them to do something so inappropriate.

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, I failed to handle this matter properly."

What could Xun Kun say? The cause of the matter was indeed with him, but he hadn't expected Venerable Wutong to make things difficult for the Haoran Sect in this way. Yun Xi waved her hand, showing no interest in further inquiry, and turned to say:

"The deed has already been done. At the very least, I should know which senior from the Kunmo Sect is making things difficult for the Haoran Sect, right?"

"It is Venerable Wutong, he is the great-grandfather of Jincan."

Based on Xun Kun's understanding of Yun Xi, even if he didn't say anything, the other party would be able to find out. Since the matter did indeed originate from him, he simply told her directly.

Yunxi understood that this Venerable Wutong clearly intended for his junior to take the relationship with Xunkun to the next level, and he was willing to use any means necessary.

Unfortunately, Xun Kun was unwilling, and with her help, he saw through Jin Can's plan and disrupted Wu Tong's arrangements. He certainly couldn't make a move against Venerable Lin Lang's disciple, so he vented his anger on the Hao Ran Sect.

Yunxi shook her head and said:
"I understand. See you at the competition the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, he flashed back to Guest Peak in the Western Regions.

The news that Yunxi and Xunkun had met in the arena soon reached Venerable Wutong's ears.

He was the leader of the Kunmo Sect and originally intended to use this opportunity to bring his great-granddaughter closer to Xun Kun. However, his great-granddaughter was too eager because of the appearance of Ran Xi from the Haoran Sect and made a bad move.

With Ranxi's help, Xun Kun discovered the drug Jin Can had put in the spirit wine and on herself. After the matter was exposed, he lost face and explicitly refused to take Jin Can as his disciple, and even refused to have any further contact with Jin Can.

This left Wutong with nowhere to vent her anger. She berated Jin Can, telling her to stay away from Xun Kun. Afterward, she hinted to her sect disciples to challenge the disciples of Haoran Sect, sowing discord between Xun Kun and Ran Xi.

In Wutong's view, even if Xun Kun did not choose his great-granddaughter, he did not want Xun Kun to get too close to Ran Xi, since he had more than one great-granddaughter, Jin Can.

If Xun Kun knew what Venerable Wutong was planning, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.

Over the next two days, fewer and fewer cultivators went to the arena. The grand competition was about to begin, and they all needed to conserve their energy and strive to make a name for themselves in the competition.

The Immortal Transformation Sect was outwardly relaxed but inwardly vigilant, not letting any suspicious matter slip by. Having already received news that evil cultivators were planning to cause trouble, how could they not be on guard?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Two days later, the Five Regions Grand Competition officially began. As the organizer of this competition, the Immortal Transformation Sect had Venerable Huayu give a brief opening speech before announcing the start of the competition without any hesitation.

Then a long golden scroll unfurled above the Immortal Transformation Gate, displaying the rules and rewards for the competition.

Because the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators participated in the competition the most, the first day of the competition was a free-for-all among Foundation Establishment cultivators. Only disciples who could still stand on the arena after an incense stick had burned could advance to the next round. Only after the three rounds of free-for-all were over would one-on-one duels begin.

The Golden Core stage competition involves random pairings for one-on-one battles. Winners advance to the next round until the top ten are determined. The final match is a challenge match, where all Golden Core cultivators have three opportunities to accept challenges and challenge others. If they seize these opportunities, they can successfully break into the top 100.

The most anticipated battle between Nascent Soul cultivators was saved for last, not only because the number of participants was limited, but also because the destructive power of Nascent Soul cultivator battles was relatively high, requiring the presence of Deity Transformation cultivators.

Yunxi stared blankly at the huge golden scroll in the air.

 My darlings, I got a little sleepy while writing and took a nap. When I opened my eyes, it was already afternoon. I'll upload one chapter first, and then upload the rest as soon as I finish writing. The competition is about to start, so I'll have to rack my brains for some fight scenes. Good luck to myself!
