Chapter 454 Mountains and Rivers (Part 13)
Yunxi didn't need to turn around to know that it was Wei Yunqing who had broken through this time. She had just seen the other party swallow a pill with four pill patterns on it, which was obviously a fourth-grade pill. The fact that Wei Yunqing took it at a critical moment meant that this pill would definitely help her improve her cultivation.

As expected, after the spiritual energy fluctuations ended, Wei Yunqing's cultivation level stabilized at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but she still kept her eyes closed to absorb the remaining medicinal power.

Yunxi was preparing to go with Yunchen, the Buddhist disciple, to find Xianfeng, when she saw a Nascent Soul female cultivator from the Immortal Transformation Sect appear beside them. She bowed to Yunxi and said:
“Fellow Daoist Ranxi, please go and see Junior Brother Xianxu. He was injured by the weapon of the evil spirit, and the evil energy cannot be expelled. Uncle Xianfeng asked me to invite you.”

After speaking, he looked at Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple standing beside Yun Xi, and immediately invited him:

"Please, Buddhist disciple Yunchen, come along to take a look."

The two exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, then flashed to the place where the disciples of the Immortal Transformation Sect were gathered.

The two had just stood still when they heard Xianxu roar:

"Senior brother, let me out!"

At this moment, Xianfeng used a long golden rope to tightly bind Xianxu, preventing him from leaving the protective shield. Around Xianxu, there were also three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect, all of whom used their own magic power to suppress the somewhat crazed Xianxu.

Yunxi's gaze fell directly on Xianxu's wound, which had begun to decay and rot, and the injury continued to spread to his entire arm. Xianxu's eyes switched back and forth between fierceness and clarity, indicating that the injury was more serious than he had imagined.

Upon seeing Ranxi and Yunchen, the Buddhist disciple, arrive together, Xianfeng immediately flashed to their side and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, Buddhist Disciple Yunchen, do you have any way to remove the evil energy from Xianxu's body? This time, the evil energy is exceptionally domineering. When I used my spiritual power to expel it, it instead rushed into Xianxu's eight extraordinary meridians. He is already somewhat out of control. I can only temporarily control him, otherwise..."

The rest of the words were unnecessary to say; both of them understood. They just hadn't expected Xianxu to be corrupted so quickly. There had been other Nascent Soul cultivators who were injured before, but as long as they retreated back into the energy shield in time and quickly dispelled the evil energy, this situation wouldn't have occurred.

As if realizing something, Yunxi suddenly turned around to look at Yunchen, who was also turning to look at her. Then, the two of them tacitly flashed to Xianxu's side.

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, flicked his wrist, sending out the thirty-six Buddhist beads. The beads transformed into golden pellets that struck Xian Xu's body. With each bead that landed, Xian Xu let out a painful howl, and the evil energy on his body was dispersed. After the thirty-six Buddhist beads were placed on the major acupoints around his body, Xian Xu's eyes finally stopped shifting back and forth and temporarily became clear.

Yunxi stepped forward and flicked out a strand of spiritual energy, trying to probe the extent to which the other party was corrupted by evil energy through the wound. However, the moment the spiritual energy strand entered, it was surrounded and annihilated by the evil energy in the meridians. She only lasted for five breaths before the spiritual energy strand was devoured by the evil energy.

Yunxi frowned, knowing the worst had happened. Xianfeng, standing beside her, clearly noticed as well; a hint of sadness flashed across his refined face. Finally, he spoke with difficulty:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, is there nothing you can do?"

The cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect all stared intently at Yun Xi, quietly awaiting her answer.

Yun Xi sighed, then raised her hand and held the Xuanlei Purple Flame in her palm, saying:

“Venerable Immortal Maple, I can try sending Purple Smoke into Fellow Daoist Immortal Xu’s body, but I cannot guarantee the outcome. Would you like to give it a try?”

Xianfeng nodded without hesitation:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, please feel free to give it a try. I will bear all the consequences."

"it is good."

Since the other party agreed, Yunxi waved her hand and sent the purple smoke into Xianxu's body. Almost at the same time that the purple smoke entered Xianxu's body, Xianxu cried out in pain again.

Everyone could clearly see that the purple flames slowly enveloped Xianxu, with purple lightning flashing within them from time to time. This clearly had a significant suppressive effect on the evil energy, and the evil energy on Xianxu's body was gradually fading. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, Xianfeng's gaze grew increasingly grave, because he noticed that Ranxi's spiritual energy was rapidly draining away. Finally, she even held a high-grade spirit stone in each hand, replenishing her lost spiritual energy at top speed. In just a quarter of an hour, she had consumed six high-grade spirit stones.

When the supply of spiritual energy could no longer keep up with the output of Ziyan, Yunxi had no choice but to stop Ziyan from burning the evil energy. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that Xianxu's nascent soul had been completely corrupted by the evil energy.

Yunxi put away the spirit stone she was holding, summoned Ziyan back into her hand, and shook her head at Xianfeng beside her.

A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Immortal Transformation Sect frowned and said:

“Fellow Daoist Ranxi, Xianxu’s condition has improved. Why not continue to expel the evil energy? However, our spiritual energy is insufficient. I have some pills and spirit stones here.”

Before she could finish speaking, Xianfeng raised his hand to stop her, and looked at Yunxi, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, I know you have done your best. Could you please tell me the truth about Xianxu's situation?"

"My purple smoke has burned away all the evil energy in Xianxu's meridians, but his nascent soul has been corrupted by evil energy. If I continue to burn it with the purple smoke, Xianxu will not be able to hold on. Please forgive me for being powerless to help."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Transformation Sect and the surrounding cultivators fell silent. The Nascent Soul being eroded by evil energy is equivalent to the soul being polluted, and it is only a matter of time before one falls into evil.

If Ranxi continues to burn with the strange fire, although there is a high probability of removing the evil energy in the nascent soul, damage to the soul and a drop in cultivation are inevitable. In this environment, there is only one way out: death.

"Amitabha!"

Yun Chen sighed, raised his hand to retrieve the thirty-six Buddhist beads, and looked at Xian Xu, who was temporarily able to maintain his composure:
"Fellow Daoist Xianxu, can you see clearly what weapon injured you?"

Although Xianxu was bound by ropes, he still struggled to sit up and said:
"It's a black knife with dragon patterns on the blade."

He tried to use his spiritual power to conjure the sword he saw, but found that he couldn't mobilize the spiritual energy within his body at all. He had heard Ranxi's words clearly, but he didn't want to become a member of the evil spirits, so he looked at Xianxu and said:
"Uncle-Master, while I'm still conscious, release me and let them all come back."

"What do you want to do?"

Xianxu gritted his teeth and said:
"Even if I die, I will not allow evil spirits to use my body, nor will I point my sword at my former comrades. I will make them pay the price!"

Xianfeng closed his eyes. He wanted to stop him, but he couldn't say a word because he knew why Xianxu was doing this.

A fierce glint flashed in Xianxu's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness. He shifted his body slightly and said:

"Uncle-Master, let me leave while I'm still lucid. This matter arose because of the Immortal Transformation Sect, so it's natural that we should be the ones to end it. The title of the number one sect in the Central Region wasn't earned for nothing. The rest is up to you."

Xianfeng closed his eyes, raised his hand to retract the rope binding Xianxu, and then sent a signal. The cultivators who were fighting with the evil spirits quickly flashed back into the energy shield. Xianxu flashed out of the shield and just brushed past Xianyao.

Xian Yao's expression changed, and she subconsciously reached out to grab Xian Xu, but she was still a step too late.
