Chapter 588 Clearing the Fog 1
Zhao Jinmu is in a good state of mind now. He is very glad that he participated in this battle between good and evil, which has made his Daoist heart even stronger.

After Zhao Jinmu and his fellow disciples entered the battlefield, the intense evil energy plunged him into an illusion. An evil spirit tried to take advantage of the situation and possess him. The evil spirit transformed into Hua Xuanzi and accused him of giving the treasure map he had obtained to Yunxi. In the end, he gained nothing and instead caused her death.

Hua Xuanzi said with a sorrowful expression:

“Senior Brother Zhao, if it weren’t for fulfilling Yunxi’s request, I wouldn’t have died. You even contributed the treasure map you had worked so hard to obtain. If we had obtained the inheritance of the Medical Immortal Sect, we would have been able to establish our own sect long ago.”

Zhao Jinmu frowned more and more as he listened to Hua Xuanzi's words. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Yunxi received a benefit and only used a little something to shut you up. She didn't even want you to join Lingxue Peak and receive the protection of a Nascent Soul Venerable. My death is not worth it at all!"

"No, that's not how it is."

Zhao Jinmu vehemently denied it, knowing full well that things were not as they seemed.

"Hmph! Zhao Jinmu, have you forgotten our promise? Everything you have now was obtained at my expense. You owe me back!!!"

After saying that, she pounced on him.

At this moment, Zhao Jinmu was absolutely certain that Hua Xuanzi in front of him was neither his beloved nor his fellow disciple with whom he cultivated; she was merely a trace of resentment in his heart.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword and shattered the figure of "Hua Xuanzi," also annihilating the evil spirit that had already approached the space between his eyebrows and his sea of ​​consciousness.

The evil cultivator asked with a ferocious expression:

"How did you find out?"

Zhao Jinmu said calmly:

"The person I love is an upright and honest woman, but she is also a cultivator. Since we embarked on the path of cultivation, we have both been prepared to perish halfway. No one can guarantee that they will stand at the top of the cultivation world. We are just working together towards our goal."

We voluntarily handed that treasure map to Venerable Ranxi because she saved us. It was you evil cultivators who truly killed Hua Xuanzi.

For this, Venerable Ranxi felt very guilty. Although she didn't say it, she secretly provided me with a lot of cultivation resources, which enabled me to successfully advance to the Golden Core stage. Xuanzi's sacrifice was ultimately remembered.

Moreover, my ability to break through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of three hundred with my three spiritual roots was also thanks to the medicine given to me by Venerable Ranxi. It was all a cycle of cause and effect.

"If it weren't for Venerable Ranxi, a cultivator with a talent for alchemy, who obtained the inheritance of the Immortal Medicine Sect, I wouldn't have been a beneficiary. So you can all just wait to die!"

After he finished speaking, a sharp golden sword intent pierced through the evil cultivator's dantian. The evil cultivator opposite him looked at his shattered dantian in disbelief, then collapsed and died.

After killing the Nascent Soul evil cultivator in front of him, Zhao Jinmu once again rushed into the dense evil energy. This time, he was certain that he would not be deceived by the evil cultivator again.

The same thing happened all over the battlefield. Some cultivators resisted the temptation of evil spirits, while others were lured out of the monsters in their hearts by evil cultivators and eventually became their puppets, swinging their swords at their fellow disciples.

Because of the stalemate in the battle, more and more cultivators from the five regions were deployed, and they didn't even have enough time to rest. Just when they were gritting their teeth and persevering, the return of Venerable Ranxi brought them a turning point.

The discussions at the camp continued, but the atmosphere inside the Haoran Sect's Dharma Hall was somewhat somber, because although Ranxi's return had turned the tide of the battle, it had also brought bad news.

Hao Yan's expression changed, and then she said through gritted teeth:

"No wonder, I was wondering why the evil cultivators attacked Weiyu Realm time and time again, and even spent so much time planning. If Ranxi hadn't accidentally ruined their early plot, they might have really succeeded."

Hao Hui also said with a stern face: "Now that the evil cultivators from the upper realm have intervened, it is clear that they are determined to take over the Weiyu Realm. We really cannot let our guard down."

Haoqing sighed and said to Yunxi:
"Ranxi, the Mountain and River Scroll of the Immortal Transformation Sect is lost."

Yunxi paused for a moment after hearing this and said:

"Was it stolen by evil cultivators after the Immortal Transformation Sect was breached?"

"No, the Mountain and River Scroll was stolen before that. Venerable Huatang sent a message to the Nascent Soul Ancestors of various sects, asking us to help find it. Before the Mountain and River Scroll was found, the evil cultivators from the Upper Realm attacked and destroyed it, so the matter was put on hold."

After hearing this, Yunxi rubbed her temples and said:

"The heretical cultivators are probably trying to use the dragon teeth to find the location where the evil god's body is sealed."

Hao Yan and the other two felt their hearts sink. If this news got out, the entire Wei Yu Realm would probably be thrown into chaos without the evil cultivators even having to lift a finger.

Haohui frowned and said:
"The Immortal Transformation Sect was attacked by evil cultivators without any warning. It is very likely that some evil cultivators took advantage of the chaos to leave the Central Domain, perhaps in order to find the Dragon Fang and then find the place where the evil god's body was sealed."

Yunxi, unwilling to give up, asked:

"Have you seniors heard any rumors about the body of the evil god? Even a few words would be helpful, as they might provide clues that allow us to act first."

Hao Yan and Hao Qing both shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.

Yunxi asked again:
"Leaving aside other sects for now, the patriarch of the Immortal Transformation Sect must know something, otherwise the Mountain and River Scroll would not have been kept in the Immortal Transformation Sect for so long."

This time, it only elicited a sigh. Haoqing said in a deep voice:
"In order to slow down the evil cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, an elder of the Immortal Transformation Sect self-destructed, severing the teleportation array connecting to the Upper Realm, thus buying us time to come to the Central Domain to provide support."

However, the teleportation array was soon repaired by the evil cultivators, who continued to teleport them here. In order to prevent the fall of the Central Domain, Hua Tuo and Hua Bai perished one after another, which temporarily slowed down the evil cultivators' invasion.

Subsequently, our four domains, together with the sects and families that withdrew from the central domain, re-established a defensive line, stopping the evil cultivators within the central domain and preventing them from continuing to expand.

The Immortal Transformation Sect felt they had given the evil cultivators an opportunity, so they always charged to the front lines in every battle. Less than one-tenth of the sect's high-level combat power remained; currently, only Hua Yu is barely holding the line. The only ones who can help are Xian Yao and Xian Feng, both of whom have been injured and are currently recovering.

Yunxi sighed upon hearing this. The former number one sect in the Central Region had suffered such a devastating blow, losing at least 80% of its high-end combat power, and its decline was inevitable.

However, Yunxi still analyzed the situation rationally:

"The theft of the Mountain and River Scroll is a clue. It's impossible that the Immortal Transformation Sect was completely unprepared, yet they still chose to retain the teleportation array leading to the Upper Realm. Perhaps it's because they knew the body of the Evil God was sealed in the Weiyu Realm, so they left a way out for their sect's disciples. What a pity."

"Unfortunately, they not only dragged the Immortal Transformation Sect into the abyss, but also brought annihilation to the Weiyu Realm."

Hao Yan coldly picked up on what Yun Xi hadn't said.

"Perhaps they did this because they know that the body of the evil god cannot be destroyed and that the seal will eventually be broken. One of the evil cultivators I killed once said, 'I cannot stop the return of the evil god!'"

 One more chapter, I'll finish writing it and upload it.
