Chapter 491 Those who wish take the bait

In his soul form, Zuoqiu clutched the storage bracelet tightly to his chest. He could feel his soul becoming sluggish and slowly weakening. He glared venomously at Yunxi and said:

"How did you find me? Did you poison me?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

"Zuoqiu, do you think I wouldn't recognize the person who wanted to kill me?"

She threw the question back to Zuo Qiu, who was disguised as "Hao Miaoling".

In fact, Yunxi didn't recognize that Hao Miaoling's soul was Zuoqiu. She just instinctively disliked this female cultivator when they first met, but since the other party was Hanlian's junior sister, she didn't do anything.

However, when Hao Miaoling approached Kefeng for the second time, trying to use Hanlian to force her to trade for breakthrough potions, Yunxi's disgust for Hao Miaoling reached its peak. Now that she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she trusted her intuition. When she stepped in to help Hanlian out of the predicament, she secretly poisoned Hao Miaoling with a slow-acting poison to prevent future trouble.

At the time, Yun Chen Buddhist disciple noticed this and did not approve of her actions, thinking that Yun Xi was going too far by arguing with a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, after being persuaded by Yun Xi, Yun Chen did not bring up the matter again, since Yun Xi and Han Lian were his trusted companions.

After Han Lian left with Hao Miaoling, she impulsively contacted Xiao He. Originally, she just wanted to know if the evil cultivators had any backup plans after their plan to release evil souls through the Five Domains Grand Competition failed. She was now a thorn in the side of the evil cultivators and did not want to be caught off guard.

She never expected that Xiao He would give her such a big surprise. Not only did he point out that Hao Miaoling was a heretical cultivator, but she also gave orders to Xiao He, who was in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, with her mid-stage Foundation Establishment strength. This kind of behavior is very unusual in the cultivation world, because the cultivation world believes in the supremacy of the strong.

Although Hao Miaoling used the restrictions in Xiao He's sea of ​​consciousness to threaten him, the evil cultivators were not stupid. They would not allow someone who could not control the pawns to lead these fallen cultivators. This planted a seed of doubt in Yun Xi's mind: Was Hao Miaoling hiding her cultivation level?

Then came the appearance of the black token, which made Yunxi certain that Hao Miaoling's status was not low. In addition, the other party kept getting closer to her and kept causing trouble around the breakthrough potion, which made Yunxi even more certain that Hao Miaoling's goal was the breakthrough potion formula in her possession.

Yunxi knew her own family best. The so-called breakthrough drug was actually a gene enhancer. Its function was to further stimulate the potential of the human body on the basis of its original state, expanding the ability that had been developed to 70% to 90% or even 100%. It could be used by Taoist cultivators, demonic cultivators, and Buddhist cultivators, so it could be used by evil cultivators as well. Therefore, she could completely understand why evil cultivators had set their sights on this.

The best example is that of the thirty-five people who broke through the seal, all but those who advanced naturally had taken the gene enhancer she provided.

Now, not only are evil cultivators eyeing her, but even Daoist cultivators are eager to make a move. The Extreme Cold Sect is known for its decisive action when necessary, but Daoist cultivators are more particular and do not want to offend a Nascent Soul cultivator like her, which is why they asked Han Xiao to take action.

Hao Miaoling took advantage of this, openly acting as a go-between for the two parties to achieve her own goals. So Yunxi threw out the bait, poisoning the jade slip she gave to Hanlian with a soul-corroding poison called "Fusion." She couldn't refine this poison herself, so she found it in the storeroom of the Immortal Medicine Sect.

The opportunity to find this poison arose after Zuoqiu and Lichang's souls escaped. Yunxi felt aggrieved because even though they had been captured, they still managed to get away. So, she subconsciously thought of marking their souls so that no matter where they escaped or who they possessed, they could be found.

However, after she had read through all the medical manuals of the Immortal Doctor Sect, she found that there was no such potion that could mark the soul. However, if the two people became Daoist partners and formed a "Heart-to-Heart Pact", they could find their other half through the soul contract, even if the other person was in a soul state.

However, forming a soul contract to track down fallen cultivators was clearly impractical, so she thought of poisoning them. Since they were all bad influences, she would use a potent poison to ensure that even if these fallen cultivators who had fled would escape for a while, they would not have a good end, preventing them from harming others. She had previously deduced that Hao Miaoling was hiding her cultivation level, so she added "Fusion" to the jade slip. Anyone whose divine sense entered would be infected. In addition, Hao Miaoling already had a poison in her body, and the combination of the two poisons would make the onset of the poison even faster.

She wanted to see if the other party could resist peeking at the medicine formula. If Hao Miaoling didn't take any action, it wouldn't matter, since the slow-acting poison in her body would take effect at some unexpected moment and kill her.

If Hao Miaoling is bold enough, as long as she probes the jade slip with her divine sense, she will be the fish that has taken the bait, and she will have plenty of ways to get the black token.

Zuoqiu reacted quickly. After realizing that Ranxi had seen through his identity, he abandoned his new body and prepared to escape. As long as he left this place, he could find a new body and would eventually have a chance to take revenge.

Unfortunately, once Yunxi discovered that the person residing in Hao Miaoling's body was Zuoqiu, she was determined not to let him go. This was a perfect opportunity to settle both old and new scores.

Returning to the present moment, Han Xiao, Han Ying, and Han Lian, who had intervened on the spot, felt their hearts sink as they watched the male cultivator's soul slowly turn black. Han Lian immediately spoke up:

"Ranxi, do you recognize this person?"

"Yes, his name is Zuoqiu. He plotted to frame Venerable Yuling, the master of this body. After the plan failed, he tried to kill this body. He was captured by the Law Enforcement Hall of the Haoran Sect and imprisoned in the dungeon. Finally, with the help of evil cultivators, his soul escaped, he betrayed the Haoran Sect and joined the evil cultivators' camp."

After explaining, Yunxi turned her gaze to the trapped Zuoqiu and said sarcastically:
"Zuoqiu, you've been missing for so long, so you've actually come to the Northern Region and even tried to possess a disciple with a single ice spiritual root. How much do you want to surpass my master? Do you think that having an ice spiritual root will allow you to surpass my master?"
Stop dreaming! You can't even surpass my master, let alone me. Face reality and stop your wishful thinking!

Yunxi's words were like daggers to the heart, and Zuoqiu roared in anger:

"Shut up! Shut up! How is he better than me?! Leng Ruohan just has a good spiritual root, I'm no worse than him in any way, and I even reached the Nascent Soul stage before him."

Yunxi interrupted Zuoqiu coldly:
"Then how did you come to the point of abandoning your physical body and associating with evil cultivators?"

Zuoqiu fell silent instantly, like a chicken with its neck being choked, unable to say anything.

Yunxi gave Hanlian a wink, and Hanlian understood. She opened a gap in the restriction that was trapping Zuoqiu's soul, and her divine sense instantly probed in, directly beginning to search for his soul.

"No!"

Zuoqiu only managed to utter one word before he completely lost the ability to resist.

After obtaining Zuoqiu's memories, Yunxi withdrew her divine sense and then said to Hanlian and the other two:
"The evil cultivators replaced Hao Miaoling with Zuoqiu in order to infiltrate the Extreme Cold Sect. Their target this time is the 'Misty Snow Region'."
