Chapter 445 Mountains and Rivers (Part 5)
Yunxi's words were not only for Wei Yunqing, but also for other Nascent Soul cultivators who shared the same thoughts. In such desperate situations, there are always people who harbor wishful thinking, believing that they are special. Unfortunately, such thoughts are often the easiest to exploit.

Although Yun Chen had already explained the dilemma everyone was in, who would want to die if they could live? Yun Xi was now publicly exposing this to make everyone give up the idea of ​​staying out of trouble, because they had already entered the game and had no chance to back out halfway.

Wei Yunqing was terrified by Yun Xi's real threat. Her eyes turned red again as she glared at Yun Xi, her spiritual energy surging around her, as if she was about to pounce at any moment.

Yunxi snorted coldly and was about to destroy the other party's dantian when Hanlian, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it and raised her hand to flick a water ball at Wei Yunqing. The water ball exploded above Wei Yunqing's head, and the icy water poured down on her head, causing Wei Yunqing to cry out and her rationality to return instantly.

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Wei, you have been influenced by the evil spirits here!"

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, chanted a Buddhist prayer and flicked a Buddhist bead into Wei Yunqing's hand. The bead emitted a soft glow, instantly calming Wei Yunqing's mind, which had been clouded by anger.

Wei Yunqing slumped to the ground, clenching the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand. Then she saw Yunxi looking at her with a half-smile, and clenching her fist.

Wei Yunqing's face turned pale instantly, the red in her eyes faded completely, and the pain of her bones breaking seemed to return. She was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head. How could she have had the courage to glare at Wei Yunxi, that murderous god, just now? She even wanted to applaud herself for what she had done.

The surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators watched this scene silently, also reminding themselves not to be influenced by the evil spirit. Wei Yunqing's condition was clearly abnormal just now. How could an early Nascent Soul cultivator dare to challenge a late Nascent Soul cultivator, especially when their vital points were in the opponent's hands?

Especially Wei Yunqing's bloodshot eyes, which had lost their reason, were already a sign of going astray. The environment here had easily stirred up the inner demons of cultivators, and they might be next.

After Wei Yunqing regained her senses and muted her microphone, the entire hall fell silent. A moment later, a cultivator from the Immortal Transformation Sect, who had finished examining the sealing runes, sat cross-legged opposite Yunxi and politely cupped his hands in greeting:

"I am Xianfeng from the Huaxian Sect. I just heard from Fellow Daoist Ranxi that you know the Mountain and River Scroll has been controlled by evil cultivators. What is your evidence? If it is convenient, could you please tell us so we can discuss it? We can't just sit here and wait to die."

Yunxi looked at the middle-aged male cultivator in front of her, dressed in a white robe and with a smiling but ruthless face, politely returned his greeting, and without avoiding the others, spoke directly:
"Before coming to participate in the Five Domains Grand Competition, the Haoran Sect captured an evil cultivator. After searching his soul, they obtained definite information that the evil cultivator was planning to make a move during the Five Domains Grand Competition to kill the elite disciples participating in the competition."

As for the methods used and how the evil cultivator would act, this evil cultivator, due to his low status, did not know the details. When the sect originally wanted to follow the clues to obtain more information, they found that the evil cultivator had disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, the sect's patriarch sent messages to all sects and families in the five regions. Although the messages were not entirely accurate, it was always good to take precautions in advance.

However, as you all have seen, in order to lull us into a false sense of security, the evil cultivators poisoned the disciples of the Kunmo Sect during the Foundation Establishment stage disciples' competition, and even tried to frame the Haoran Sect for this.

Fortunately, Venerable Xiangsizi of the Western Regions Loose Cultivator Alliance intervened, curing the poison and thwarting their plans. Fellow Daoist Xunkun of the Kunmo Sect knew this best.

Yunxi looked at Xunkun as she finished speaking, and Xunkun nodded in agreement:

"We have captured the evil cultivator who secretly infiltrated the temporary base in the Southern Region. He has been taken away by your sect's 'Immortal Feather Hall.' As for what was found out during the interrogation, the Immortal Feather Hall has not told us."

After listening, Xianfeng nodded and said:
"I've also heard a little about this matter, but this only proves that the evil cultivators are indeed going to make a move against the elite disciples of the Five Regions. The information transmitted by the Haoran Sect is accurate, but how did Fellow Daoist Ranxi know that the Mountain and River Scroll has been controlled by the evil cultivators?"

This is what Xianfeng is concerned about. Yunxi shrugged and said:
"I don't know either. I only found out after I was sucked in here. When I saw your sect's Mountain and River Scroll before, I took a special look at it and found that it was a Xuan Treasure. It was obviously brought out by the Immortal Transformation Sect to show off. Otherwise, an ordinary screen wall could have completed the announcement of the competition."

If I had truly discovered beforehand that the Mountain and River Scroll had been tainted by evil cultivators, I would have certainly issued a warning. I just wonder if you would believe me if I said that your sect's Mountain and River Scroll had been controlled by evil cultivators.
As for the evidence that the Mountain and River Scroll was controlled by evil cultivators, the fact that you were all sucked in here is the best proof. When you were sucked in, you should have seen the actions of the Nascent Soul Venerables. They couldn't stop the Mountain and River Scroll, and they didn't even leave behind a single Nascent Soul cultivator participating in the competition. Do you think the Nascent Soul Venerables were just for show? Did they not want to save us?

Yunxi's final rhetorical question caused all the Nascent Soul cultivators present to fall into deep thought.

What she didn't say was that on the very first day the Mountain and River Scroll appeared, she sensed something was off. She even stared at the golden scroll for a while, but the feeling disappeared after a short time.

At the time, she thought it was her imagination, so she didn't mention it to anyone. She never expected that the evil cultivators would use the Mountain and River Scroll to set up a trap for Nascent Soul cultivators, opening their bloody mouths to this year's elite disciples.

Immortal Maple True Monarch rubbed his fingers, carefully recalling everything that had happened, trying to find some clues.

This time it was Yunxi's turn to ask the question:

"Fellow Daoist Xianfeng, does your sect's Mountain and River Scroll have an owner?"

Xianfeng shook his head and said:
"No, the Mountain and River Scroll is the most treasured item of the Immortal Transformation Sect, and it has never been contracted by anyone."

"Tsk, no wonder. If a Nascent Soul cultivator were to forcibly contract the Mountain and River Scroll now, do you think your sect's ancestor would be able to detect it?"

The smile on Xianfeng's face vanished, replaced by a serious expression as he said:
"If the Xuanbao was forcibly contracted, the Ancestor would definitely have noticed; if he hadn't..."

"If it is not discovered, it proves that someone within the Immortal Transformation Sect is secretly helping evil cultivators."

Although Xianfeng didn't want to admit it, it was the most reasonable guess, so he could only reluctantly say:
"Perhaps, but it's also possible that the Mountain and River Scroll was tampered with during its use."

Yunxi shrugged indifferently. There was no point in talking about it now. Anyway, they had already been tricked and sent to this godforsaken place. All she wanted to know was how such a place could exist in the Mountain and River Scroll.

Huan Die twirled the round fan in her hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked:

"Fellow Daoist Xianfeng, do you know of such a place in the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers?"

Xianfeng shook his head helplessly; he truly didn't know.

Just then, after a spatial fluctuation, another group of Nascent Soul cultivators were teleported in. Yun Xi immediately spotted Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui. As these people appeared, the gray aura began to spread throughout the hall again, and the triumphant shouts of the evil spirits rang in everyone's ears.
