Chapter 492 Extreme Pull
Han Xiao was still unable to accept that her junior disciple had perished so suddenly, especially since he had been possessed by a fallen cultivator. She rubbed her temples and said:
"Hanlian, first collect your junior sister's body, and also her soul."

Before she could finish speaking, Zuoqiu Heitou's soul began to slowly dissolve, eventually disappearing before everyone's eyes. The storage bracelet he was holding also crashed to the ground with a clatter, attracting everyone's attention.

Yunxi raised her hand and drew the black token from the storage bracelet into her palm. She held it up for a while and observed it. She found that it was indeed made of the same material as the other three tokens she had obtained before, but the patterns were different. Then she flipped her hand and put the black token into her storage bracelet.

Han Xiao frowned and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, the Extreme Cold Sect still needs to verify the contents of the storage bracelet."

“Those were confiscated by the Haoran Sect when they were tracking down evil cultivators. They were originally smuggled out by Zuoqiu. I must take them back.”

Han Xiao asked unhappily:
"How can you prove that these were confiscated by the Haoran Sect?"

Yunxi wasn't angry. She raised her hand and showed another similar black token, saying:
"The Enforcement Hall tracked down the evil cultivators and found four similar tokens on the captured cultivators. However, this one was smuggled out of the sect by Zuoqiu, which caused the Enforcement Hall's investigation to run out of clues."

When I came out for this training trip, I carried this token with me to search for traces of evil cultivators. It was through this token that I confirmed Hao Miaoling's identity.

Yunxi was lying through her teeth. In any case, she would not leave this token to the Extreme Cold Sect. Her trust in Hanlian did not mean that she trusted the Extreme Cold Sect. At least, they did a poor job with the potion recipe.

Han Xiao felt aggrieved and asked in a cold voice:
"Since Fellow Daoist Ranxi knows Hao Miaoling's true identity, why doesn't she tell me?"

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said:
"What do you want to tell Fellow Daoist Hanxiao? Your little disciple has been possessed? Do you believe it? 'Hao Miaoling' must have had her identity verified to become your disciple, otherwise she wouldn't be able to come before you."

Judging from the time Zuoqiu defected, if he wanted to avoid being discovered by the Extreme Cold Sect, Hao Miaoling should have been possessed by Zuoqiu shortly after her spiritual root was detected. Ten years would have allowed his soul and body to achieve perfect harmony. You didn't even notice when you accepted her as a disciple, and you believed me based on just one sentence from me?"

Han Xiao knew that Ran Xi was right. Not only would she not believe it, she would also suspect that Ran Xi was deliberately targeting Miao Ling because of the medicine formula. In short, neither side was wrong in the whole matter, and both had their own considerations and positions.

Han Ying, who had remained silent until now, spoke up at the opportune moment:
"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, where did you put the poison?"

"Inside the jade slip."

"That Senior Sister Hanxiao"

Yunxi turned and pushed a bottle of pills towards him, saying:

"This is the antidote."

Han Xiao took a deep breath and swallowed the antidote. She didn't want to die as miserably as Zuo Qiu. After taking the antidote, she couldn't help but say:
“Fellow Daoist Ranxi, if Zuoqiu doesn’t take any action, wouldn’t I be the only one who gets poisoned?”

Yunxi said quite bluntly:
"You are Hanlian's master. If Zuoqiu doesn't take the bait, I will personally offer him the antidote. Moreover, I am certain that Zuoqiu will take action. Once the formula is bought by the Extreme Cold Sect, he will have no chance to access it again. Therefore, this is the best time for him to steal the formula."

Once he makes a move, his true identity will be exposed, and then the facts will be laid bare, leaving no need for explanation from the real person.

After Yunxi finished speaking, she nodded to Hanlian, raised her hand to put away the jade slip containing the medicine formula, cupped her hands to the people present, and then turned and left.

Han Lian waved her sleeve, collected Hao Miaoling's corpse and storage bracelet, bowed to her master, and left.

When only Han Xiao and Han Ying remained in the cave, Han Xiao finally couldn't hold back any longer. She slammed her palm on the jade table beside her, shattering it before saying:

"This is outrageous! This is the Extreme Cold Sect, not the Vast Righteousness Sect!"

Han Ying glanced at Han Xiao and said reassuringly, "Senior Sister, Han Lian is already a Nascent Soul cultivator. She can handle the aftermath. It's a good thing that this matter has come to light; at least it has eliminated a major hidden danger."

If Hao Miaoling, who has been possessed, were to grow up and do something under the guise of your junior disciple, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only would Senior Sister be implicated, but the entire Extreme Cold Sect would also suffer.”

"I know that Hanlian should at least have told me beforehand about something this big. Do you think I'm the kind of master who can't distinguish between good and bad?"

Han Ying coughed lightly and said:

"Perhaps even Hanlian doesn't know."

On the other side, Ranxi and Hanlian returned to the guest peak one after the other. Xunkun and Yunchen were already waiting for them. Today was the day they had agreed to set off, but Ranxi was suddenly called away by Hanlian. The two of them didn't know what had happened, so they could only wait.

Yun Chen guessed that the poison Ran Xi had given Hao Miaoling might have taken effect, which was why Han Lian had asked him to help detoxify her.

Upon seeing Ranxi return, Yun Chen spoke first:

"how?"

Yun Xi smiled and replied:

"We caught a big fish."

She had barely sat down when Han Lian arrived. She sat directly next to Yun Xi and frowned, saying:
"Ranxi, since you've already noticed that Hao Miaoling is acting strangely, you could have just told me directly. Why go through all this trouble to poison her? You didn't even tell me about the follow-up plans. What if I didn't coordinate well?"

Upon hearing Han Lian's sharp tone, Xun Kun and Yun Chen assumed the two had a falling out. Yun Chen, in particular, who knew a little about the situation, immediately stepped in to smooth things over:
"Hanlian, Ranxi, is there some misunderstanding between you? Sit down and talk it out. Arguing won't solve anything."

Xun Kun also spoke up:

"Hanlian, you're a bit too hot-tempered."

Ranxi, have you been hiding something from us?

Yunxi immediately pushed the spirit tea on the table next to Hanlian, and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone:

"Calm down. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't trust your master. Hua Bai of the Huaxian Sect is a cautionary tale. Moreover, Han Xiao had previously intended for you to take Hao Miaoling as her disciple, but you refused, so she took her in instead."

If, and I mean if, your master knew Hao Miaoling's identity, then her intentions in doing this would be worth pondering.

The concerns I mentioned before are genuine. Although I am certain that Hao Miaoling has a problem, I have no evidence.

If I told you, you would probably search Hao Miaoling's soul, but then you would be accused of murdering a fellow disciple. We believe you, but your fellow disciples may not. What if your master uses this as an excuse to punish you?
To tell you the truth, I had no idea that it was Zuoqiu who possessed Hao Miaoling. I could only confirm your junior sister's affair with evil cultivators through the black token, which is why I used a poisoned potion recipe as bait to lure her out.

Once she takes the poison, it will prove that she wanted to steal the medicine formula. In that case, we'll have the evidence, and you won't be caught in a dilemma. At most, I'll just be branded as arrogant and conceited.

However, I am still young and can live up to this arrogant and presumptuous reputation.
