Chapter 442 Mountains and Rivers (Part 2)
Wei Yunqing also felt very wronged:

"Wasn't it you who asked me to lead the way?"

Yunxi glared at Wei Yunqing, who was trying to get closer, before turning her gaze to the gray mist. She patted her chest to wake up the drowsy Diandian.

Dian Dian persisted in not advancing in rank, wanting to accompany her master to the Five Domains Grand Competition. Because she received a message from Xiao He that the evil cultivators were going to tamper with the competition, Dian Dian stayed by Yun Xi's side as a vigilant person so that she could detect any evil cultivators approaching her master as soon as possible.

But these past two days, Diandian has been struggling to stay awake and always seems drowsy.

Yunxi was worried that Dian Dian might actually fall asleep, so she didn't dare send him into her space and kept the little guy in her arms. Now that she needed Dian Dian to distinguish these things, she woke him up.

Dot rubbed its beady black eyes with its little paws, and its nose started twitching. The next instant, it was startled awake, its fur standing on end, and it immediately cried out:

"Master! Master! You've stumbled into the lair of evil cultivators! How could you be so careless? Weren't you participating in the Five Regions Grand Competition? How did you end up in a place like this?"

Dian Dian anxiously circled in Yun Xi's palm, sensing that its master had encountered the greatest crisis on her cultivation path.

Yunxi raised an eyebrow after hearing this, which indirectly confirmed her guess. Looking at the eager gray gas, her brows furrowed tightly. This trap was not something that the evil cultivator could have set alone.

Wei Yunqing's face had turned green; the gray aura was eroding her protective shield, and fine cracks had appeared on the jade pendant at her waist. Turning back, she saw Yunxi still having the mood to tease the rat, and she was too exhausted to even complain. All she could do was recklessly shout:

"Wei Yunxi, think of something quickly, these things are attacking us."

Yunxi glanced at Wei Yunqing and calmly said:

"Wei Yunqing, you are not a Qi Refining cultivator, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator. When defense is useless, you should take the initiative to attack. Do I need to teach you this?"

After speaking, she communicated with Ziyan, and the Xuanlei Ziyan instantly surged, scorching the gray energy around her. Then Yunxi heard a series of ghostly wails.

"How can it be!"

"How come he's our nemesis! Wasn't he here to deliver our bodies?"

"Ah!! Help me!!"

As the Xuanlei Purple Flame unleashed its power, no more gray gas approached within five meters of Yunxi. However, these evil spirits still lingered around Yunxi relentlessly. Moreover, they seemed to have realized that Wei Yunqing was an easy target, and some clever evil spirits had already shifted their focus, swarming towards where Wei Yunqing was.

Wei Yunqing wasn't stupid; she naturally knew the power of evil spirits. She had almost been possessed by one before. So when she saw the gray gas surging towards her, she immediately took out a seed of a flame vine and held it in her hand, quickly using her own wood elemental power to nurture it.

In less than three breaths, dense, reddish branches sprouted, quickly forming a red wall around her, blocking most of the gray gas. Red flames also ignited on the branches, causing the evil spirits burned by the Xuanlei Purple Flame to instinctively back away.

Wei Yunqing then took the opportunity to come to Yunxi's side, extended the wall of flame vines to encircle Yunxi as well, and then let out a long breath.

Yunxi glanced at Wei Yunqing before continuing her conversation with Dian Dian:

"DianDian, are you sure this is the lair of evil cultivators?"

Diandian sniffed and said:

“Master, this place is filled with a strong evil aura, a hundred times stronger than the place we found in the Su family’s secret realm before. Dian Dian’s nose will not be mistaken.”

Yunxi released her divine sense and looked around. She frowned and said, "These are all evil spirits. From what I heard them just now, we were deliberately sent here to be possessed by evil spirits. But the Mountain and River Scroll belongs to the Immortal Transformation Sect. The Immortal Transformation Sect cannot be associated with evil cultivators. Who sent these evil spirits into the Mountain and River Scroll?"

Wei Yunqing swallowed hard and whispered:

"Um... Yunxi, is it possible that these evil spirits weren't sent in, but were originally sealed within the Mountain and River Scroll?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi abruptly looked up at Wei Yunqing, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said:

"Tsk, not easy, Wei Yunqing, you've finally gotten to the point this time."

Wei Yunqing gave an awkward smile. She didn't want to be trapped here. Although she didn't want to admit it, Wei Yunxi's strength was indeed superior to hers. If she didn't want to be left behind, she had to prove her worth. That's why she voiced her guess and then followed up by asking:
"Then what do we do next?"

Yunxi watched as the gray gas closed in again, summoned the Seven Star Deadly Staff, and slammed it heavily into the ground, saying:

"Wei Yunqing, you talk too much nonsense. If you want to escape, save your own life first. Can't you see your Flame Vine is almost extinguished?"

With Yunxi's attack, a purple lightning net began to spread outwards from her and the Seven Star Deadly Staff. The purple lightning seemed to have eyes, rushing into the place where the gray gas was most concentrated. A wisp of purple smoke quickly separated and attached to the purple lightning, rapidly increasing the power of the attack.

In less than three breaths, the wailing of the evil spirits reached Yunxi and Yunqing's ears again, and one-fifth of the hall's territory was cleared, revealing its original appearance.

Not wanting to lose face, Wei Yunqing gritted his teeth and unleashed the Nine Luminaries Star Wood Fire after witnessing the power of Yunxi's move. He followed Yunxi's example and attached it to the vine wall he had built with flame vines. Then he made the fire wall slowly move outward to isolate the evil spirits from intrusion.

Yunxi then saw clearly where the two had been teleported to. It seemed to be a rectangular enclosed space with nine huge silver pillars standing around the hall, in pairs. The ninth pillar was in the very center of the hall.

She immediately noticed the blurry reliefs on the pillars, depicting grotesque human faces that seemed to be alive, staring intently at the two of them.

The gray gas that had suddenly appeared earlier was seeping from these giant silver pillars. She had cleared away a batch of it, but the hideous faces on the pillars showed a disdainful expression, and then more gray gas gathered together and rushed towards the two of them again.

Yunxi frowned and said to Wei Yunqing, who was struggling to maintain the wood and fire of the Nine Luminaries Star:
"Wei Yunqing, hold on for a moment, I'll go check out the surroundings."

Wei Yunqing gritted her teeth and said:

"Hurry up, my spiritual root attribute has little effect on suppressing these evil spirits."

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said:
"Didn't you form a contract with the Nine Luminaries Wood and Fire? It's time for you to show your strength. I'm rooting for you!"

After saying that, she disappeared from Wei Yunqing's side in a flash, making Wei Yunqing so angry that she wanted to curse. However, she knew very well that she had no choice but to cooperate with Yunxi, otherwise she would definitely be the first to die.

Yunxi's teleportation speed was very fast. In less than five breaths, she returned to Wei Yunqing's side, but her expression was even more solemn than before.

Upon seeing Yunxi return, Wei Yunqing immediately swallowed the spirit-replenishing pill she had been holding in her mouth and asked:
"Did you find anything?"

Yunxi said in a deep voice:
"The entire hall, from the ceiling to the floor and even the walls, is covered with sealing runes. If we want to get out, we have to break all the seals!"

"Then break it!"

"What should we do with these evil spirits? Are you planning to let them into the Weiyu Realm?"

　My darlings, there are two more chapters to go. I'll upload them as soon as they're done. My back is really giving out. I can't sit for more than two hours without feeling uncomfortable. I have to lie down for a while before I can get up and continue writing. When will I be able to type while lying down?
