Chapter 612 The Cicada Sheds Its Shell 2
The moment Yunxi appeared outside the Kunmo Sect's mountain gate, Xunkun sensed her and flashed in front of her, saying:
"Ranxi, why did you come in person?"

Yunxi smiled and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture, saying:
“Xunkun, it’s been a long time! It’s not that I don’t trust you, but there are some things I need to verify myself, so I decided to come over and catch up with you.”

Just in time, Dian Dian popped its head out from Yun Xi's sleeve and squeaked twice at Xun Kun, making its presence known.

Xun Kun glanced at Dian Dian and said:

"Dian Dian has advanced to the next level, that's truly a cause for celebration. It seems you had some suspicions, which is why you came here in person."

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"I do have some guesses. Do you remember the message I sent you shortly after the Central Domain War?"

“I remember you said that the Mountain and River Scroll had fallen into the hands of the evil cultivators, but the ‘Dragon Fang’ was not in the Mountain and River Scroll, and the evil cultivators were also looking for the whereabouts of the ‘Dragon Fang’.”

Now that we've destroyed the obvious passage to the Weiyu Realm, the evil cultivators from the upper realm won't be able to interfere with us for the time being. We still have time to rearrange things.”

At this point, Xun Kun suddenly stopped, his dark, bright eyes looking at Yun Xi, and said in a deep voice:
"Ranxi, do you suspect that the broken sword in Wei Yunqing's hand is 'Dragon Fang'?"

Yes, I have that suspicion.

Xun Kun rubbed his fingers together and said:

"If it were 'Dragon Fang,' how could it allow Wei Yunqing to dismember it?"

Yun Xi shook his head and said:
"I haven't seen that broken knife and don't know the specifics, but I guess there are only two possibilities."

First, the 'Dragon Fang' was severely damaged and could not recover in a short time, so it needed to be given a new shell. The best way was to keep the core, discard the severely damaged parts, and integrate it with a magic weapon that had not yet awakened its spirit.

Secondly, 'Dragon Fang' has already gone out of the open in the Weiyu Realm. As long as it shows up or plays its role, it will inevitably attract attention. There will always be a day when it is exposed. Rather than being watched closely, it is better to shed its skin and let the cultivators of the Weiyu Realm search for its old skin, while it wears a new skin to complete its goal.

What better cover than becoming the natal magic weapon of a righteous cultivator? This is the 'blind spot under the lamp,' especially since it's the natal magic weapon of a Nascent Soul cultivator. How many cultivators would question it?

After listening to Ranxi's analysis, Xun Kun couldn't help but admire her keen insight.

"However, these are all just my guesses. We'll have to see the scraps of that broken knife to be sure, which is why I brought Dian Dian here in person."

“I understand. We’ll head to the Refiners’ Association now. I’ve already spoken to that refiner.”

Xun Kun was a man of action. Since Ran Xi had come in person, he didn't waste any time. He sent a message talisman to his master and then disappeared with Yun Xi in front of the Kunmo Sect's mountain gate.

When Linlang received Xunkun's message, she was discussing the "Weiyu Realm Ascension Plan" proposed by the Western Regions' Haoran Sect with Zhuye. After reading the message talisman, she said to Zhuye beside her:
"Ranxi has come to the Southern Region, and Xun Kun is accompanying her on some business. Once their business is settled, I'd like to ask Xun Kun to invite her to the Kunmo Sect as a guest. What do you think of this?"

Since the end of the great war in the Central Region, these top beings in the Weiyu Realm have all known about the fact that Xun Kun and the other three suppressed their cultivation and remained in the Weiyu Realm.

Moreover, these four individuals were stationed in the East, West, South, and North regions respectively, which was perfect for guarding the four directions and protecting the Central Region. This prevented chaos when the major forces in the Central Region were reshuffled. Afterwards, the four individuals stayed in their respective sects and only went out when there was a major event.

So Zhu Ye frowned and said:
"Ranxi must have important business in the Southern Region, and with Xun Kun accompanying her, she must be on business. We can have Xun Kun try to invite her. If she is willing, that would be best; if not, don't force Xun Kun."

Linlang smiled slightly and said:

"That's what I mean too. We have no right to force them to stay."

Zhu Ye also revealed a faint smile, then said seriously:
"Senior Sister wants to ask about ascension in the Wei Yu Realm." Lin Lang also stopped smiling and said:
"Yes, this is no child's play."

After making their decision, the two sent a message to Xun Kun.

Meanwhile, Yunxi and Xunkun had already entered the Weapon Refiners Association. Yu Linlang, the fifth-grade weapon refiner who had previously helped Wei Yunqing reforge her natal sword, personally invited the two to his weapon refining room.

Yu Linlang pointed to the materials on the ground and the residue in the furnace and said:
"Please look, these are the materials left after the broken sword was dismantled. I left them here untouched, and I didn't even clean the forging furnace."

Xun Kun nodded and said:
"Thanks for your hard work."

Then he turned to look at Yunxi.

Without Yunxi's command, Diandian had already jumped out of its master's sleeve, sniffed the shapeless materials twice, climbed onto the refining furnace, sniffed the residue twice, and then jumped out.

“Master, this smell is correct, it’s the smell of the evil artifact ‘Dragon Fang’. Moreover, the evil aura left on these materials is already very faint. If you had come a day later, this aura would have completely dissipated.”

Fortunately, Dian Dian is already at level four, and her nose is much more sensitive than before, otherwise she really would have missed it.

Upon hearing Dian Dian's words, Yun Xi's almond-shaped eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. It seemed that her guess was probably correct.

He then flicked his sleeve, rolled up a few hairs, and said to the Imperial Guard beside him:

"You'd better destroy all these scraps. If possible, scorch your forging furnace with a strange fire before forging anything."

Upon hearing Ranxi's words, Yu Linlang's heart skipped a beat. Some things didn't need to be said explicitly; he understood. He immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, Venerable One. I will remember it."

Ranxi nodded and left the Refiner Association with Xun Kun.

Xun Kun released a flying boat, and the two of them boarded it and headed towards the Kunmo Sect.

"Ranxi, your guess is probably very close to the truth, but I don't understand why it's Wei Yunqing?"

Yunxi sat cross-legged, propping her head up with her hand, and said:
“I don’t know why it’s Wei Yunqing. Maybe it’s because she’s my older sister. Don’t you think her existence is strange? It’s like she’s there specifically to suppress me, but she hasn’t been very successful.”

Xun Kun thought about it carefully. His first encounter with Ran Xi was in the secret realm of Baohua Mountain, and he truly became familiar with her during the ten years when he was sucked into the Mountain and River Scroll during the Five Regions Grand Competition.

Wei Yunqing was among them at the time. As Ranxi's older sister, he had also noticed her. After observing her, he felt that Wei Yunqing had some luck. Although she was not the strongest in combat, she had many strange and wonderful treasures. She was able to turn danger into safety every time. She was one of the five Nascent Soul cultivators who left the Mountain and River Scroll alive.

"But she never surpassed you, and she was only alive because of you."

"That's because I've always been one step ahead of her, which has worn down a lot of her luck. Otherwise, it's hard to say what the outcome would have been."

Xun Kun's eyes flashed, he stroked the soul bell at his waist, and suddenly spoke:

"Ranxi, have you ever considered that Wei Yunqing might be a pawn planted in the Weiyu Realm by the evil cultivators of the Upper Realm? Besides suppressing you, a cultivator who disrupted the evil cultivators' plans, he also plays a crucial role at critical moments, such as helping 'Dragon Fang' escape this time."
