Chapter 605 The Balance Breaks
Yun Xi sat in the main seat, gently stroking the runes on her sleeve that suppressed her cultivation, and spoke calmly:

"Wei Yunqing, have I been too kind to you? How dare you come to the Wei family to show off your power? Wei Lingyue is my father, isn't he yours? It's none of your business how I do things."

Wei Yunqing was completely suppressed. She wanted to resist, but no matter how she circulated her cultivation technique, she could not break through the suppression. In the end, she could only raise her head slightly and look at the woman at the head of the table with resentment.

She spent twenty years stabilizing her cultivation, barely managing to stabilize it at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Yet the woman before her still had a delicate and pretty face; the only change was her increasingly powerful aura and the disdain that showed she didn't take her seriously.

"Wei Yunxi, I'm your sister, you can't treat me like this."

She squeezed those words out through gritted teeth.

Yunxi merely curled the corners of her lips slightly and said:

"What right do you have to be my sister? You are nothing but evidence of Wei Lingyue's infidelity to my mother. I didn't mention you while he was alive to preserve his last bit of dignity. Why do you think he was never able to break through to the Golden Core stage?"

Wei Yunqing was startled and subconsciously said:
"It was you! You're the one who caused this!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yunxi abruptly interrupted him.

"I cherish my reputation and would never do something as foolish as patricide. Even if he had received the Golden Core from me, he would have failed to form it simply because he was possessed by a demon in his heart. This is because he killed my mother."

Ironically, the reason he harmed my mother was not because of Du Ruolan, nor because of you, but because of his pride.

Although he was the eldest in the Wei family, he was not as good as his second uncle in terms of interpersonal skills and contributions to the family, nor as good as his third uncle in terms of cultivation talent. Therefore, all he could do was to consolidate the family's position in Kunyu City through marriage alliances.

After the marriage, he felt like he had become an outcast of his family, which made him resentful and caused him to make no progress in his cultivation. In order to eliminate his inner demons, he turned his attention to his mother.

He did succeed, and he made Du Ruolan his rightful Daoist partner. He even openly favored her and suppressed the original body at all times. But what was the result?
I, by chance, was the most promising one, entering the Haoran Sect with the aptitude of three spiritual roots, leaving you behind, and becoming the personal disciple of a Nascent Soul Venerable.

On the other hand, what about you, the favored daughter? Your cultivation cannot surpass that of the original, and the master you obtained through a transaction is still a fallen cultivator. Even if you reach the Divine Transformation stage, you will not be valued by the Haoran Sect.

Seeing such a stark contrast in results, do you think Wei Lingyue can overcome his inner demons? He was simply worn down and killed by his own inner demons.

Wei Yunqing bit her lip; she had no way to refute it, because what Yunxi said was true.

Yunxi smiled slightly and continued:

"Wei Yunqing, you have already followed in Wei Lingyue's footsteps. Haven't you realized it yet?"

Wei Yunqing suddenly looked up at the woman at the head of the table and subconsciously denied it:
"I don't!"

"You have!"

"I don't!"

"Heh! Isn't your inner demon the same as the original? You can never surpass the original, nor can you ever stand at the highest point of the Weiyu Realm."

Yunxi's icy voice echoed in Wei Yunqing's ears, revealing the truth she least wanted to admit. Yunxi's words carried a certain implication, and then, taking advantage of Wei Yunqing's momentary lapse in attention, she waved her sleeve and sent her away from the Wei family's territory.

When Wei Yunqing came to her senses, she found herself in an unfamiliar mountain range. After figuring out where she was, she gritted her teeth, but could only feel helpless rage.

Because Yunxi sent Wei Yunqing directly to the Qinghua Mountains in the Southern Region, where the Mountain and River Scroll completely disappeared, she sent this scourge there to try and catch any trace of the evil cultivator.

After the war between good and evil in the Central Region ended, the power structure was reshuffled. There were declining sects and families, and newly rising forces, but no trace of evil cultivators could be found.

Perhaps because of the presence of these four, the remaining evil cultivators all hid and went into hiding, no longer causing trouble. The entire Weiyu Realm fell into a strange calm, as if the previous Central Domain War was just a misunderstanding.

However, Yunxi and the other three knew very well that the evil cultivators were waiting for them to ascend. Once they left the Weiyu Realm, the hidden evil cultivators would be free of their constraints, and that would be the time for them to exert their power.

However, Yunxi would not allow these evil cultivators' plans to succeed. It's just that the great battle had just ended and she needed some time to recover. She also needed to refine the wisp of soul lightning in her soul as soon as possible, which is why she stayed in the sect without making any moves.

However, the lack of action did not mean she was unaware of what was happening in the Weiyu Realm; the Hive would regularly deliver the latest news to her.

Xiao He, who had infiltrated the evil cultivators, had also secured a decent position. The message he sent back to Yun Xi was that the evil cultivators had ceased all activities and were waiting for the right opportunity.

As for the timing, Xiao He didn't know; he simply relayed the instructions given by the evil cultivator to Yun Xi.

Yunxi instructed him to keep an eye on the news of the Mountain and River Scroll, but Xiao He sent back a message that surprised her: the Mountain and River Scroll had indeed been taken back to its lair by a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the Dragon Fang that should have been sealed inside the Mountain and River Scroll had disappeared.

Yunxi's first reaction was that Longya had already broken the seal and escaped from the Mountain and River Scroll. However, even the evil cultivators had not found Longya. At least for now, the evil cultivators had not been able to take the initiative. Without a guide to find the place where the evil god's body was sealed, they could only lie low for the time being.

However, the evil cultivators would definitely search for Dragon Fang's whereabouts in private, and they also had to avoid being hunted down by the cultivators of the Weiyu Realm, so their lives were very difficult, which gave the righteous cultivators some time to catch up.

That's why the current balance has been achieved. However, Wei Yunqing has emerged from seclusion. During her previous Nascent Soul Tribulation, the false Heavenly Dao had smuggled in her own agenda, which could very well disrupt the current balance. Therefore, after receiving the notification from Little Flying Butterfly, she stayed by Wei Yunqing's side and decisively took action when Wei Yunqing used her cultivation to suppress others.

This time, she sent Feixia, who had already advanced to the fourth level, to the Qinghua Mountains. She would monitor Wei Yunqing's every move and not let her have any chance to cause any trouble.

Back to the present, after Wei Yunqing was kicked out, Wei Lingtao stood up and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Venerable Ranxi, thank you for your trouble."

As the head of the Wei family, he was in a difficult position. The two most outstanding descendants in the family were his eldest brother's daughters, but the two did not get along. If the two had a good relationship and joined forces, he believed that the Wei family would develop even better.

Yun Xi sighed and said:

"Patriarch, will you blame me for disregarding my father's life and death, and watching him perish?"

Wei Lingtao was at a loss for words. If anyone was at fault, it was Wei Lingyue. He died because of his own inner demons and had no one to blame but himself.

“Ranxi, your mother’s life is between you and your father. Doing nothing is already protecting your father.”
