Chapter 472 Simple and neat
Ye Chengbi was stunned by Xun Kun's blunt words, and even Ye Yirui paused in her seat before turning her gaze to Ye Chengbi.

Yunxi looked at Ye Chengbi calmly. Xun Kun had come to interrogate him, and she was interested in whether Ye Chengbi did this on his own initiative, under someone else's orders, or through a deal with evil cultivators.

After his initial surprise, Ye Chengbi immediately said:
"Venerable Xunkun, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'secondary poisoning'?"

Xun Kun was too lazy to waste words with Ye Chengbi. He instantly released the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage, freezing Ye Chengbi in place. He planned to directly search Ye Chengbi's soul.

Just then, an old man with white hair, white eyebrows, and a white beard appeared in front of the four of them and interrupted Xun Kun's actions by waving his sleeve.

Ye Yirui immediately stood up and said:

"Ancestor!"

Yunxi recognized the newcomer as someone there to save the day, and whispered to Xunkun beside her:
"Xunkun, show the image-recording jade to this Ye family patriarch. Even if we're going to take action, we need a reason, so people won't say we're young and impetuous and don't know our manners."

Xun Kun's sharp gaze pierced through the hollowed-out mask as he looked at the old man. A smile played on his lips as he flicked his wrist and grasped a recording jade in his hand. He then activated the recording jade, displaying the scene that Venerable Wutong had recalled to Ye Yirui and Old Ancestor Ye.

Although Ye Chengbi did it very discreetly, the people of Medicine King Valley were all experts in medicine. They could tell what Ye Chengbi was doing just from the amplitude of the sleeve waving and the almost transparent misty powder.

After the recording on the jade finished playing, Yunxi spoke calmly:

"Fellow Daoist Ye, Ye Yirui, are you trying to say that we can't prove those powders are poison? Are you trying to defend Ye Chengbi by saying that they are the antidote?"

Ye Yirui pursed her lips and did not answer Yun Xi's question. Even a fool could see that it couldn't possibly be the antidote. Who would secretly deliver the antidote like that?

Old Master Ye stroked his white beard, which reached his chest, and said helplessly:

"This matter still needs to be investigated, and Medicine King Valley will definitely give you both an explanation."

Xun Kun snorted coldly, dissatisfied with the Ye family patriarch's stalling excuse.

Yunxi said calmly:
"Ancestor Ye, it was an evil cultivator who poisoned the Kunmo Sect disciples. They wanted to pin the blame on me and the Haoran Sect. Ye Chengbi, to ensure that the poisoned disciples would die, used the excuse of helping to poison them a second time."

Although the poison was eventually cured, the evil cultivator was still not giving up. He sneaked into the Kunmo Sect's territory in the middle of the night, intending to kill them to silence them and completely provoke the conflict between the Haoran Sect and the Kunmo Sect.

Unfortunately, I am not faking my status as the successor of the Immortal Healer Sect, and in the end, I failed to let my opponent succeed.

Whether Ye Chengbi did this under the orders of Medicine King Valley, was acting on his own initiative, or was misled by evil cultivators, we deserve an explanation!

Upon hearing Yunxi's words, even Elder Ye frowned.

Ye Yirui immediately spoke up:

“Venerable Ranxi, Medicine King Valley would never instruct Ye Chengbi to do such a thing. I hope you will not implicate the innocent.”

Xun Kun snorted coldly after hearing this:

"If Medicine King Valley is innocent, then aren't the disciples of my Kunmo Sect innocent too?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Ye Yirui immediately denied it. She also harbored resentment towards Ye Chengbi, who was kneeling on the ground. She had even begged Venerable Ranxi to save her younger brother, but her uncle was the one who was hindering her. Moreover, she completely believed that Ye Chengbi was capable of doing such a thing.

Ye Chengbi's expression changed repeatedly as he stared intently at the Ye family patriarch, hoping that the patriarch would intervene to save him.

He originally thought he had done it perfectly and that the Kunmo Sect would not find out. He also thought that Wei Yunxi might not be able to cure the poison he had given. However, someone came to his door, and both of them had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. This left him with no choice but to ask the only Nascent Soul ancestor in Medicine King Valley for help.

Old Ancestor Ye sighed and asked, "What do you two intend to do?"

Xun Kun said coldly:
"I will search his soul. If his actions were not instigated by Medicine King Valley, then his life will be the price to pay. If he has ties with evil cultivators, I advise Medicine King Valley to clean house first, lest it become a tool of evil cultivators."

"Ancestor, save me! I just wanted to test Wei Yunxi. Why is she allowed to become the successor of the Immortal Healer Sect? I'm not convinced!"

Yunxi gently waved her sleeve and said:

"If you don't accept it, just hold it in."

Xun Kun was ready to bully others once again. He once again pulled Ye Chengbi to his feet with a flick of his sleeve, then raised his palm and covered the other's head to begin searching his soul. This time, no one dared to stop him.

Yunxi turned her gaze to the Ye family patriarch and Ye Yirui, and said slowly:

"I obtained the inheritance by passing the test of the Immortal Physician Sect with my own abilities. If your Medicine King Valley wants to communicate, you can go to the Haoran Sect at any time. There is no need to use such methods to test me. It's disgusting."

Although Old Ancestor Ye felt aggrieved, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

This is the awkward situation of Medicine King Valley. Although they are good at alchemy and medicine making, their combat strength is the lowest. Don't be fooled by his Nascent Soul stage; if it really comes down to a fight, he is no match for anyone in front of him.

Moreover, he had overheard one of Ye Chengbi's remarks earlier: what was Ye Chengbi's true intention in doing this without his permission? Was it merely to test whether Venerable Ranxi was qualified to become the successor of the Immortal Medicine Sect?

The next moment, Elder Ye and Ye Yirui got their answer.

Xun Kun's lips tightened, and with a flick of his sleeve, he took Ye Chengbi's storage ring, then tossed him at Old Ancestor Ye's feet. His dark eyes looked at the two of them and said:

"Unexpectedly, the one with the biggest ambition in your Medicine King Valley is this Ye Chengbi. In order to become the new Valley Master, he not only colluded with evil cultivators to harm Ye Chengzong, but also joined forces with evil cultivators to try to seize Ye Yuchen's 'Innate Dao Body'. As a result, Ye Yuchen ruined his plan by injuring his dantian."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yirui suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at her eldest uncle lying at the feet of the ancestor. Her previous speculation had finally been confirmed; the culprit who prevented her younger brother from cultivating was indeed her eldest uncle, and even her father's death was related to him.

Old Master Ye's hand trembled, pulling out several strands of his beard, clearly quite startled.

Xun Kun forcibly erased the divine sense imprint on Ye Chengbi's storage ring, causing the unconscious Ye Chengbi to unconsciously spit out a mouthful of blood, and his breath weakened by two points.

Xun Kun scanned the storage ring with his divine sense, then flicked his wrist, holding a black token in his hand. He turned to look at Yun Xi and said:

“He has a token for evil cultivators.”

Yunxi also saw the black token, which was made of the same material as the token she had obtained from Liu Moyan, the only difference being the pattern on it.

Old Ancestor Ye raised his eyebrows and instructed Ye Yirui, who was standing beside him:

“Arui, go to Ye Chengbi’s medicine shop yourself and see if you can find anything.”

Ye Yirui gritted her teeth and said:

"Yes, old man."

Xun Kun then entered some important information obtained from the soul search into a blank jade slip, and tossed it to Ye Yirui, saying:

“These are people Ye Chengbi has close ties with in Medicine King Valley. You’d better investigate them as well. If you don’t nip it in the bud, it will grow back in the spring.”

Ye Yirui accepted the jade slip and bowed in thanks:
"Thank you for the reminder, Venerable Xunkun. Please wait a moment."
