Chapter 609 New Pieces
Mu Zijun's heart was in his throat. He felt enveloped by a powerful aura, and although the other party didn't exert any pressure, he couldn't move. Only after hearing the heavenly voice did he slightly raise his head and stammer in reply:
"Your Excellency, please forgive me! This disciple only saw this contract array in the library of Spirit Beast Peak. It's different from what we usually learn, so I made a copy to study it."

Yunxi continued to stroke Lili's head, saying in the same tone:
"This isn't something you can figure out just by doing simple research. You've clearly tried it, and you succeeded."

Mu Zijun shuddered and immediately replied:

"Your Excellency, please calm your anger. This disciple did indeed study it, but... I only... I only inscribed it on a jade pendant. I just don't know how it suddenly activated."

As he spoke, he became noticeably less confident, because he felt a sharp gaze fixed on him, and without even looking up, he knew it was the little panda.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi simply waved her hand and grabbed the cracked jade pendant from Mu Zijun's waist. She scanned the jade pendant with her divine sense, destroyed the contract markings engraved on it, and then pushed the jade pendant back.

Mu Zijun had no choice but to hold it with both hands, looking as if she was ready to accept punishment.

Yunxi said casually:
"The jade pendant is yours, and the contract pattern was carved by you. The contract pattern was activated the moment you made the decision. This contract pattern is very powerful, and it can indeed help you successfully form a contract."

"But your cultivation is limited, and the contract wasn't formed with Li Li's consent. There will come a day when you'll suffer a backlash, and then things won't be as easily resolved as they are today."

Mu Zijun's back was already soaked with sweat. He had been tempted when he saw Lili watching the competition with the Tracking Rat on her head. He thought it would be great if he could have such a powerful contracted spirit pet. Moreover, he knew very well that Lili did not have a contract mark and was a spirit beast without a formal master.

However, he also knew that although Lili did not have a contract seal, she was actually living on Lingxue Peak. The one on Lingxue Peak was not someone he could reach. Just as he suppressed his thoughts, the jade pendant hanging on his waist flashed, and then a contract array rose up under his and Lili's feet.

He was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to be panicked and acted as if he was in a hurry to terminate the contract. In fact, he was thinking about completing the contract as soon as possible. That way, not only would he successfully contract a high-level spirit beast, but Ling Xuefeng's person wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Unfortunately, his idea was good, but reality was cruel. Venerable Ranxi arrived faster than he expected and destroyed the contract array with a single move. The little panda injured his soul the moment it broke free from the contract array. This time, he had failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice instead. Now that his thoughts had been seen through, he was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Yunxi observed Mu Zijun's reaction and said calmly:

"Take me to the place where you found this contract array."

After saying that, he took Mu Zijun and left Doufa Peak.

After the parties involved left, the sect disciples who had been watching the commotion dispersed, but the incident remained the focus of their conversation.

Sheng Yuhong, who arrived a step too late, only heard the story from his junior brothers and regretted that he had missed the chance to see Ranxi.

Since the Central Domain War ended, Sheng Yuhong returned to his sect with his team and has never seen Ranxi again. Although they were in the same sect, he never even had the chance to step into Lingxue Peak.

Unwilling to be left behind, he went into seclusion after returning to see his master. He only recently emerged from seclusion, just two days later than Wei Yunqing. After emerging from seclusion, he followed Sect Leader Yu Geng to learn how to handle sect affairs. Zhou Lingchuan, who was freed from seclusion, left the sect to gain experience after successfully forming his Nascent Soul.

Sheng Yuhong is now the vice sect leader, and he knows everything that happens in the sect. However, there are still some things he can't get involved in, so he is eager to make a name for himself. He hopes that even if his cultivation level is not as high as Ranxi's, he can still interact with her in other ways and help her.

Only Yu Geng could discern his thoughts. As his master, he said nothing, but simply assigned more sect affairs to his disciple, without giving him any opportunity to contact Ran Xi.

Yunxi was unaware that Sheng Yuhong was still "deeply in love" with her; if she knew, she would probably vomit. She had already arrived at Spirit Beast Peak, where Peak Master Yu Wu welcomed her into the main hall at the summit. Yunxi released Mu Zijun with a wave of her sleeve, briefly explained what had happened, and then said to Yu Wu:

"Peak Master Yuwu, send someone with Mu Zijun to retrieve that book. I want to take a look at it."

Yu Wu nodded and had his eldest disciple take Mu Zijun away.

Once the main hall was empty, Yunxi spoke:

"There is something wrong with the formation used by Mu Zijun. I suspect it was left behind by Zuoqiu. I would like to trouble Peak Master Yuwu to carefully investigate the places where Zuoqiu often stays."

Yu Wu nodded solemnly and said:
"Thank you for the reminder, Venerable Ranxi. After Zuoqiu was captured, we searched his cave thoroughly, but found nothing."

Now it seems he was quite clever, hiding some things elsewhere. The library, a place disciples can freely enter and browse through jade slips and books, is the easiest place to be tampered with; it was my oversight.”

"It's alright. Evil cultivators are cunning. Now that most of their spies within the sect have been eliminated, there aren't many loopholes for them to exploit. Disciples with weak wills are their best target."

"I understand."

Yu Wu felt a pang of regret. Mu Zijun was, after all, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, yet he had stumbled in this area, which was quite unexpected.

A moment later, Mu Zijun returned carrying a thread-bound book, her face flushed, and said:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, True Lord Yuwu, the disciple saw the binding array pattern in this book, but when my senior brother and I went to look for it just now, the thing inside was gone."

Yunxi merely scanned the area with her divine sense before withdrawing her gaze and speaking to Yuwu beside her:
"Peak Master, please investigate carefully. Don't let Zuoqiu's backup plan affect the entire Spirit Beast Peak."

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, this is my responsibility as the Peak Master."

After giving her instructions, Yunxi carried Lili and disappeared from the Spirit Beast Peak.

When she returned to the summit of Lingxue Peak, her expression changed slightly. She looked up at the sky, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes. The familiar arrogant air about Mu Zijun disgusted her.

This fake Heavenly Dao is truly ruthless. After she crushed Wei Yunqing, she wanted to cultivate a cultivator who could oppose and restrain her. Unfortunately, the fake Heavenly Dao's judgment was as poor as ever, choosing someone like Mu Zijun. She even dared to form a contract with Li Li, thinking that by stealing her spirit beast, she could restrain her. It's a joke.

Lili wagged her fluffy tail and said:

“Your Excellency, you don’t need to be angry. Li Li has already severely damaged his soul. He won’t notice it now, but it will hinder his breakthrough.”

"It's alright. He's just a pawn of the fake Heavenly Dao, and a new one at that. He's not that useful yet, and he's far inferior to Wei Yunqing."
