Chapter 446 Mountains and Rivers (Part 6)
The newly arrived Nascent Soul cultivators, still somewhat bewildered, heard a notification in their ears:

"Everyone be careful, don't let the evil spirits get close, and kill them all!"

Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui exchanged a glance and immediately located Yun Xi's position. The two of them flashed to Yun Xi's side and began to clear away the evil spirits that surrounded them, back to back.

Wei Yunqing was ostracized. Although she was furious, she knew that now was not the time to argue. Yunxi still had a backup plan in her dantian. She was sure that if she made any move, her dantian would be instantly shattered.

Fortunately, the Nascent Soul cultivators sent to participate in the competition were all seasoned veterans and reacted quickly. They quickly found their respective teams and began to use their unique abilities to annihilate the evil souls.

Yunxi gripped the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand, using lightning magic as her main attack. With a single move, "Thunderous Might," she cleared out a large area, making her the most efficient cultivator.

The cultivators from the other four regions, not wanting to be outdone, also sped up their efforts to annihilate the evil spirits. Various spells flickered throughout the hall, and the energy fluctuations were accompanied by the screams of the evil spirits and the shockwaves of their annihilation.

Because of the increased number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, the battle ended after an hour. The Nascent Soul True Monarchs then sat cross-legged again and began a new round of communication.

Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui sat down next to Yunxi quite naturally and asked about the situation here.

Yunxi gave a wry smile and said:

"I should have been more firm back then and stopped you from participating in this Five Regions Grand Competition."

Zhang Lingrui sheathed his natal sword and replied directly:

"Senior Sister Ranxi, it was our own decision to participate in the competition. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Keyang nodded and said:

"Yes, what is our current situation?"

Yunxi pointed at Wei Yunqing and said:
"Let Wei Yunqing explain the situation to you. A new Nascent Soul True Monarch has been teleported into the Immortal Transformation Sect. I have some questions for them."

Zhang Lingrui glanced at Wei Yunqing and replied:
"Alright, you go ahead and get busy. We'll ask Junior Sister Yunqing ourselves."

Wei Yunqing was singled out by Yunxi, so she could only give the two of them a smile that looked more like a grimace. She pursed her lips and recounted what had happened to them, including how she herself had almost gone mad from the influence of the evil spirit. Anyway, there was no way to hide it, as many people had seen it earlier.

Yunxi then went to the place where the cultivators of the Immortal Transformation Sect were gathered, cupped her hands in greeting to Xianfeng, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Xianfeng, were there any True Monarchs who joined the sect before you this time?"

Xianfeng was also telling his fellow disciples about their discovery. After Yunxi explained her purpose, he pointed to a refined-looking male cultivator among his fellow disciples and said:
“This is my senior brother Xianqi. He entered the sect earlier than me and is suppressing his cultivation to participate in this competition. After the competition, he will prepare to transform into a Nascent Soul.”

Yunxi cupped her hands to the rising Immortal Prayer True Lord and said:
"I am Ranxi from the Haoran Sect. I apologize for disturbing you."

Xian Qi smiled politely and returned the greeting:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Ranxi. I've long admired your name. I've heard that you are the only successor of the Immortal Physician Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Xianqi, you are too kind. I have only been lucky this once."

Knowing that Yunxi had something to ask, Immortal Prayer True Lord spoke directly:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, what do you want to know?"

"The Mountain and River Scroll is the most treasured artifact of the Immortal Transformation Sect. It shouldn't be used lightly under normal circumstances. Who suggested that it be used in this competition?"

Xian Qi looked at Yun Xi with his gentle eyes, and after two breaths, he said:
"I heard from Master that it was Venerable Huabai who suggested it, wanting to show off the strength of the Immortal Transformation Sect." Yunxi's eyes flashed when she heard the name. She smelled a familiar formula and ingredients. She guessed that the one who was bewitched this time was Venerable Huabai. As for the purpose, it was probably aimed at her. After all, she caused the death of his junior in the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm and obtained the complete Xuanlei Purple Flame.

Xian Qi instantly caught Yun Xi's subtle expression, a thoughtful look flashing in his gentle eyes, before he spoke:

"You suspect that Venerable Huabai of our sect tampered with the Mountain and River Scroll?"

Yunxi shook her head decisively and said:
"I don't know, we'll have to wait for your clan's investigation before we can draw a conclusion."

"I only want to know if the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers was ever used to seal away evil cultivators?"

Xian Qi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying:
"I once saw a record of the 'Mountains and Rivers Scroll' in the sect's records. The earliest Mountain and Rivers Scroll was a celestial artifact. I don't know if it experienced a great war in the celestial realm. After its rank dropped, it fell into the Weiyu Realm and has been kept by the Huaxian Sect ever since."

Since this treasure can be called 'Mountains and Rivers', the space inside the scroll must be quite large. Even if its grade has dropped, it was once a small world in itself.

You asked whether the Mountain and River Scroll ever sealed away any evil cultivators. I don't know, but it's highly likely. After all, the Immortal Transformation Sect doesn't know what the Mountain and River Scroll went through in the Immortal Realm.

After listening, Yunxi was 80% certain that this scroll had once sealed away an evil cultivator, which was why its grade had dropped. After all, evil spirits were now roaming around here, proving that the evil cultivator's physical body had been refined over the long years.

Refining evil cultivators requires energy. In order to maintain the seal, the Mountain and River Scroll can only consume itself without external power to replenish it. Fortunately, the Mountain and River Scroll has its own small world, but even so, it cannot withstand long-term consumption.

This time, the evil cultivators found an opportunity to send these Nascent Soul cultivators in. Whether these True Monarchs broke the seal to survive and release the evil soul, or were devoured by the evil soul sealed here so that the evil soul could last longer, the evil cultivators' plan was successful.

At this moment, Yunxi wanted to give the heavens the middle finger again. This was clearly a trap set for her, just letting her choose how to die.

Xian Qi immediately noticed the displeasure emanating from Yun Xi and asked:
"Does Fellow Daoist Ranxi have some kind of guess?"

"Yes, let me give you a brief explanation, and we can all work together to find a solution."

Yunxi didn't stand on ceremony, sat cross-legged on the futon, and stated her speculation, adding at the end:

"Since I entered this place, I have already fought these evil spirits three times. I have found that more and more evil spirits are awakening, and their strength is also increasing."

The batch of evil spirits we just wiped out had at least the strength of the Golden Core stage, and it's hard to guarantee that evil spirits with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage won't appear later.

If my speculation is correct, the evil spirits sealed here should be stronger than those at the Nascent Soul stage. Even with the suppression of the Mountain and River Scroll, there should still be evil spirits at the Deity Transformation stage. We need to make plans as soon as possible.”

What she didn't say was that there were probably evil spirits in the Out-of-Body stage here, and she was afraid that if she revealed it, these people would lose their fighting spirit.

After Yunxi finished speaking, she got up and returned to her small team in the Western Regions. She hadn't used a soundproof barrier when she spoke, so all the Nascent Soul cultivators around her, with their sharp ears and eyes, heard everything clearly. The entire hall was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Wei Yunqing has decided to give up. She only has the strength of the early Nascent Soul stage, and if she really encounters an evil spirit in the Divine Transformation stage, she will die.

"Ranxi, what should we do next?"

Zhang Lingrui asked in a deep voice.

"Wait, let's see what kind of power the next evil spirit will have, and see if we can leave this place after we wipe out all the evil spirits."
