Chapter 501 Danger Signals
Western Regions Haoran Sect

Yu Ling, inside the "Hive," received the news from the Northern Region immediately. The jade slip indicated that the famously dangerous Polar Gale Belt in the Northern Region had undergone an anomaly, and all the cultivators who entered it to train and search for the entrance to the "Misty Snow Domain" had disappeared.

After reading the more detailed information, Yu Ling sighed. He knew that something would definitely happen when Ran Xi went to the Northern Region.

Meanwhile, Xiao He, who had not sent any news for a long time, was also in the Northern Region and provided Ranxi with very important information, helping her to confirm Hao Miaoling's identity as an evil cultivator. The clue of the black token also resurfaced.

Ranxi first exposed the identity of Hanlian Junior Sister Hao Miaoling as an evil cultivator at the Extreme Cold Sect, and then discovered that she had actually been possessed by the escaped Zuoqiu, and had been infiltrating the Extreme Cold Sect for ten years.

If Zuoqiu hadn't set his sights on the breakthrough potion in Ranxi's hands, he wouldn't have been so easily exposed and ultimately killed by Ranxi, which could be considered as cleaning up a hole for the Haoran Sect.

When Yu Ling received this message, she didn't know what expression to make. Perhaps it was because Ran Xi was a "variable" that she was like a magnet, attracting certain people to her side and always encountering special things.

In particular, Ranxi followed Zuoqiu's lead and assisted the Extreme Cold Sect in eliminating the evil cultivators who had infiltrated the sect. She also discovered that the evil cultivators' target in the Northern Region was the "Misty Snow Region".

Yu Ling speculated that the anomaly in the polar gale belt was a signal that the "Misty Snowfield" had opened, and that Ran Xi and the others were very likely to have been drawn into the "Misty Snowfield." However, the "Misty Snowfield" had now disappeared without a trace, making it impossible to determine the safety of Ran Xi and the others.

However, Yu Ling still arranged for the people of "The Hive" to closely monitor the polar gale belt in the northern region.

Grandmother Haoyi also received the message simultaneously, and she said to Haoyan beside her:

"Since Ranxi became a Nascent Soul cultivator, she has become increasingly audacious, daring to venture into the polar gale belt. I wonder where she has been sent this time?"

Hao Yan narrowed her phoenix eyes and said nonchalantly:
“Ancestor, don’t worry. Perhaps when Ranxi comes back next time, her cultivation will have improved again.”

Haoyi shook her head and said:

"I am not worried about Ranxi's safety. She has her own destiny. It's just that the Weiyu Realm has become increasingly unstable recently. I don't know when Haohui will be able to return from the Famous Sword Sect."

Hao Hui, who was being talked about, was having a private conversation with Ming Hong in the back mountain of the Famous Sword Sect, but the atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense.

Hao Hui, who was usually indifferent to everything, frowned and asked:

"Brother Minghong, is this absolutely true?"

Minghong nodded solemnly and said:
"How could the Famous Sword Sect joke about something like this?"

It wasn't that Haohui didn't believe it, but rather that he wanted to confirm it further, so he continued:
“Brother Minghong, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but the Haoran Sect has been out of contact with the Upper Realm for a long time. How did the Mingjian Sect receive the news?”

Minghong understood Haohui's doubts, and he said in a deep voice:

"The ancestor of the Famous Sword Sect who ascended to immortality sent his natal sword down to the mortal realm. Rather than saying he sent it down, it would be more accurate to say that the natal sword, riddled with holes, traversed the mortal realm on its own, bringing back news of the fallen ancestor. After that, even the sword spirit dissipated."

Upon hearing this, Hao Hui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem:
"Has the situation in the Upper Realm become this bad?"

"Yes, the righteous and evil forces have already clashed! Before our sect's ancestor perished, he sent his natal sword down to the mortal realm to remind us that we must not allow evil cultivators to stir up trouble in the Weiyu Realm, and he also instructed us that the Weiyu Realm must not be lost."

After listening, Haohui rubbed his fingers and said:
"What exactly is it about our Weiyu Realm that the evil cultivators covet so much? Is it that evil artifact, the Dragon Fang?"

Minghong shook his head and said:
"I don't know, and after the battle of the Mountain and River Scroll, the Dragon Fang has been resealed by the Immortal Transformation Sect and is temporarily unable to pose a threat to the Weiyu Realm."

Haohui tapped the jade tabletop lightly with his finger and said:
"Should we send someone up to scout out the situation?" Minghong didn't object.

“I mentioned this to my senior brother Mingjia. He said he was going to find someone before deciding whether to let Mingxian break through and ascend. He said this opportunity was very important.”

Hao Hui nodded knowingly; it seemed that Venerable Mingjia already had a plan.
"Whom is he looking for?"

"Feng Fen, the 'mad old man' of Tianyun Sect."

The "crazy old man" Feng Fen, mentioned by the two, had now settled in Qianling City and joined his disciple Su Qingzhuo, becoming a guest elder of the Su family.

After meeting Yunxi in the Central Region, Feng Fen didn't even watch the excitement of the Five Regions Grand Competition. That same day, he boarded a spaceship bound for the Western Region and headed straight for Qianling City.

When the Mountain and River Scroll incident broke out, Feng Fen had already met his disciple, Su Qingzhuo, who was also the only successor of the Tianyun Sect. The master and disciple had a long chat after meeting.

Through conversations with his disciples, Feng Fen deduced how Ran Xi had helped his disciples avert their death.

“Master, because of Ranxi Zhenjun’s reminder, after I returned to the family, I began to investigate the disappearance of the Su family’s secret realm. It just so happens that the family head is also investigating this matter, which also involves a fallen cultivator named Xiao He.”

When the patriarch discovered that I was also investigating this matter, he summoned me for questioning. Since it concerned the safety of the Su family, I dared not conceal anything, so I relayed Fellow Daoist Ranxi's words to the patriarch. The patriarch took it very seriously and dispatched the family's elite to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the secret realm.

The investigation eventually revealed that a branch of the Su family had connections with evil cultivators. They were the ones who had 'lent' the vanished secret realm to these cultivators. The realm's disappearance wasn't due to resource depletion and eventual closure, but rather because a fierce battle between someone and the evil cultivators within it destabilized the realm, causing it to vanish into the void.

Feng Fen had a sudden inspiration and interjected:
"Do you think the one who confronts the evil cultivators in the secret realm might be Fellow Daoist Ranxi?"

Su Qingzhuo was taken aback for a moment and said:

"No way! How could she get in?"

He couldn't continue halfway through his sentence because of the betrayal of the Su family's collateral branch. Evil cultivators could freely enter and exit the closed secret realm. With Ranxi Zhenjun's abilities, this shouldn't be difficult for her.

Following this line of thought, Fengfen continued:

"If it were Fellow Daoist Ranxi, she should be able to do it."

So in that sense, she did indirectly help the Su family get out of trouble. If it were revealed that the Su family had hidden evil cultivators in a secret realm that the family had closed, what good would happen to the Su family?

The Su family has fallen, what good will come of it for you? You are my only disciple, how can I stand idly by if something happens to you?
The whole thing is a conspiracy by evil cultivators, and the steps are all interconnected. They not only want to destroy the Su family, but also sever the lineage of the Heavenly Fortune Sect!

Su Qingzhuo's mouth dropped open as he listened. Only then did he realize how important the divination his master had performed was. The "benefactor" he had stumbled upon was indeed his benefactor.

Mingjia had already appeared in Qianling City, but he did not seek out the Su family. Instead, he sent a message to Fengfen and waited for him to arrive at a secluded restaurant in the city.

Misty Snowfield
Yunxi subtly moved her divine sense, causing the golden armor to conceal itself once more. Then, she channeled the purple smoke through her meridians to completely dispel the chill. After taking out the white cloak she had previously purchased from her storage bracelet and putting it on, she felt her body warm up again before saying to Xunkun:
"We need to reunite with Yunchen and Hanlian as soon as possible."

 See you tomorrow~ Goodnight~
