Chapter 647 Crafty
Li Ze also sensed something was wrong at this moment, and stared at Yun Xi with his narrow eyes, saying:
"Young friend Yunxi, can you explain how you know my friend?"
Yunxi looked at the man restrained by the Soul-Gathering Mirror, a look of understanding flashing across her face. She had thought he died too easily, and when she searched his soul, she couldn't find any useful information. It turned out he was a ruthless person who had actually severed his soul.
Then, in order to replenish his divine soul power, he devoured the evil souls and fierce ghosts that escaped from the underworld, barely restoring his divine soul. He then chose to follow the path of ghost cultivation. Originally, if he continued to cultivate, he should have been able to return to his peak. However, he encountered Yun Xi, and the Soul-Gathering Mirror discovered the aura on his body that had been marked by the underworld, which led to the dramatic scene we see now.
Yun Xi smiled and said:
“Lord of Lizhe City, this matter is a long story, but I can confirm that he is an evil cultivator who infiltrated the Weiling Realm to cause trouble. I fought with him before, and I destroyed his physical body and crushed half of his soul. I did not expect that he had a backup plan and actually went down the path of ghost cultivation.”
Li Ze narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice:
"you sure?"
Yun Xi nodded and said:
"I'm sure. He attacked my daughter several times and almost killed me. How could my daughter mistake my enemy!"
Although I don't know why he became friends with the Lord of Lizhe City and even moved into the Lord's mansion, this place is the closest to Yunxiao Sea, which makes it hard for me not to suspect his true purpose.
"Lord of Lizhe City, why don't you try searching my soul?"
Yunxi offered this suggestion in a kind manner.
The ghost cultivator, trapped within the Soul-Gathering Mirror, tried to break free of its restraints, but to no avail. He immediately cried out to Li Ze for help:
“Lord, she’s lying. I don’t know her at all. She’s deliberately using this soul artifact to embarrass you. You mustn’t fall for it.”
After hearing this, Yunxi flicked her fingernails and said:
“I don’t know your name, but I remember that your natal magic weapon is a three-edged sword. You have twice reached out to the Weiyu Realm. Once was to seize the evil god’s weapon ‘Dragon Fang’, and the other was to protect the passage between the Weiling Realm’s Immortal Transformation Gate and the Lower Realm’s Immortal Transformation Gate, all in order to send more evil cultivators into the Weiyu Realm.”
Fortunately, my companions and I returned in time, destroying the passage and your physical body along with a portion of your soul. If you can't remember, I wouldn't mind helping you recall.
After Yunxi finished speaking, she grasped the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand. The purple-gold lightning power flowing on the staff made Li Ze frown unconsciously.
The ghost cultivator, controlled by the Soul-Gathering Mirror, trembled involuntarily. This subtle movement did not escape Li Ze's eyes, nor did it escape Yun Xi's gaze. She slammed the Seven Star Death Staff on the ground and spoke mockingly:
"It seems you have regained some of your memories. Let me guess why your soul split. Is it because of that wisp of 'soul lightning' that I gave you?"
The ghost cultivator regained his footing this time and said coldly:
"I don't understand what you mean?"
"It's okay, as long as you don't understand, someone else will."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Ze and continued:
"The Soul Thunder is indeed unpleasant, but you actually devoured the evil souls and vengeful ghosts that escaped from the underworld to replenish your soul power. Are you stupid?"
The evil spirits and vengeful ghosts of the eighteen levels of hell are all branded by the underworld, leaving them nowhere to hide. Otherwise, the Soul-Gathering Mirror wouldn't have only detained you. You don't think that because ghost messengers are inconvenient to travel in the cultivation world, this matter will just be left unresolved, do you?
After Yunxi finished speaking, she exaggeratedly covered her mouth.
Li Ze, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips. However, he now believed what Ran Xi said, because his friend's weapon was a three-edged sword. If he didn't know her, he couldn't have said it so accurately.
Zhang Lingrui and Zhou Lingchuan merely smirked, trying their best to suppress their smiles. "You're unlucky. I've accepted a mission from the Underworld to bring back all the escaped evil spirits and vengeful ghosts, so don't struggle. Just obediently enter the Soul-Gathering Mirror!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and flicked a ball of lightning into the man's body. The next moment, a wail echoed from the backyard, mixed with the man's curses:
"You persistent, vengeful woman! You've been ruining our plans all along. The day the evil god returns will be the day your soul is annihilated!!!"
After Yunxi finished uttering those harsh words, she released a wisp of soul power and completely absorbed the man into the Soul-Gathering Mirror. This time, Li Ze did not stop her, so the process went very smoothly.
Then she waved her sleeve to put away the Soul-Gathering Mirror and the Seven-Star Deadly Staff, and smiled as she cupped her hands to Li Ze, saying:
"I apologize for disturbing the city lord."
Li Ze was no longer willing to speak, and waved his hand, saying:
"Let's go, don't send me away!"
Yunxi smiled, bowed again, and then left with Zhang Lingrui and Zhou Lingchuan.
After Li Ze and the other two left, he summoned his trusted confidant with a stern face and ordered him to thoroughly investigate the ghost cultivators who had come to Haoran City with him.
It was precisely because Ranxi was new to the city that she was unaware of the seriousness of the presence of evil cultivators and traitors in the city lord's mansion. However, Li Ze knew that while he accepted benefits, he dared not be careless on matters of principle.
Especially since the other party entered the city lord's mansion as his friend, if the other party had succeeded, he, as the city lord, would definitely be implicated and might even become an accomplice of the evil cultivator. Fortunately, he met Ranxi today, and she happened to have accepted a mission from the underworld, otherwise the evil cultivator would have really been able to infiltrate.
Yunxi's trip to the City Lord's Mansion was quite fruitful. She said what she needed to say and made the necessary connections (in her opinion). Most importantly, she had her former enemy in her grasp, which felt really good. So Yunxi was in a great mood when she returned to the Wei Mansion.
On the third day, Yunxi released the spaceship again, taking the members of the Wei and Feng families, as well as the cultivation families who were willing to continue following the Haoran Sect, away from Haoran City. What followed was a brand new beginning.
A month later, Yunxi piloted the spaceship to land at the only place to enter the Moonlit Mountains. The Moonlit Mountains were the place of seclusion chosen by Haoran Zhenzun. After a month, it was no longer as desolate as before, and the mountain where Haoran Sect was located had turned green.
After putting the person down, Yunxi handed over the remaining matters to the four people behind her and went back to the sect to report.
At the foot of the Yuechu Mountain Range, a relatively safe area has been designated by the Great Venerable Haoran, suitable for building a new city. The lower-level disciples of the Haoran Sect have already created the prototype of the city, and with the addition of a large number of family cultivators, the construction of Yuechu City is progressing even faster.
The Wei and Feng families also joined in building the city and selected a good location as their new clan home. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
After returning to her sect, Yunxi went to see Haoran Zhenzun and Haoyi, and recounted her journey to the old place. She also mentioned encountering a heretical cultivator who had switched to the ghost path at the city lord's mansion, and explained the history between them.
Haoran Zhenzun stroked his short beard and said:
"It seems that the evil cultivators have been eyeing the sealed place deep in the Cloud Sea for a long time. Since they failed in the lower realm, they are preparing to continue to find ways to unseal the body of the evil god."
