Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 653 Trouble Comes Knocking 1
Yunxi had her own purpose in making this trip. Killing Mu Zijun was a spur-of-the-moment decision. She was now used to the way things were done in the cultivation world. Since it was a potential threat, it had to be eliminated at the root. Previously, she was restricted by many things in the lower realm, so it was not easy for her to take action.

After the entire realm ascended, her cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage became somewhat insufficient. In addition, she had to adapt to the new cultivation environment, and was busy relocating her sect and taking care of the families that depended on her sect. One thing after another, she had no time to attend to anything else.

After advancing in her own cultivation level, she also needed to cultivate, so she never even thought of Mu Zijun. Besides, even if she did, she wouldn't want to kill someone within the sect to silence them.

This unexpected encounter with Mu Zijun in Chong'an City caused the sealing runes within her body to loosen, which could easily trigger her sensitive nerves.

She still had fragments of her dream from the ten years she had been asleep, which made her realize that her journey to the Weiyu Realm was not accidental, so she would not let any potential dangers go unpunished.

After decisively eliminating Mu Zijun, she thought for a moment and decided to destroy the corpse as well. She remembered that evil spirits liked such bodies the most, especially since Mu Zijun was a born "luck-stealing body". If it really fell into the hands of evil cultivators, the righteous cultivators would be the ones to suffer. She didn't want to gamble on that.

That's why she took the initiative to go to the city guard post, explained the situation, and took back the body as a fellow disciple, so that she could destroy the body in a legitimate way. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was foolproof.

However, this time Cen Sen's subordinates took a little longer than usual, causing a hint of embarrassment to appear on Cen Sen's face. Just as he was about to send another deputy to urge them on, the guard who had just left to carry out the order suddenly appeared in the hall and anxiously reported to Cen Sen:

"Captain Cen, Mu Zijun's body has been stolen!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's brow twitched, and she looked at Cen Sen with a sharp gaze, her words becoming somewhat impolite:
"Captain Cen, my sect's disciple died mysteriously in Chong'an City. His body was carried into the city guard post in just one hour. Now you're telling me you couldn't even keep an eye on a single corpse?"

Cen Sen was also somewhat embarrassed. This was the first time he had encountered something like this. Who would steal a corpse for no reason, unless...
Cen Sen's expression suddenly changed. Ignoring the unpleasant look on the woman's face, he immediately ordered the people behind him:
"Quickly, pass down the order to temporarily close all four city gates and send a message to the city lord saying that evil cultivators have infiltrated Chong'an City."

The subordinates were also taken aback by Cen Sen's order. They looked up at their captain to make sure he wasn't joking, since closing all four city gates at the same time required the city lord's order.

Cen Sen impatiently tossed a token to the other party, saying:

"Take this token and go. Anyone who disobeys may be executed on the spot. Hurry!"

The subordinate caught the token thrown to him and immediately recognized it as the city lord's deputy token. With the token in hand, he was no longer afraid and immediately bowed and left the hall.

Cen Sen then looked at Yun Xi, who was sitting at the head of the table, and said:

"Senior, do you have any way to track down the whereabouts of that disciple's body?"

Yunxi frowned and said:
“His soul lamp is in the sect. I didn’t know he would be killed, so how could I possibly carry the soul lamp with me?”

Although Cen Sen didn't have high hopes, he couldn't help but feel disappointed after hearing Yun Xi's words, and could only say:

“Senior, Chong’an City will definitely investigate this matter. We previously speculated that he was assassinated by his enemies, but now that his body has been stolen, it is very likely that it was done by evil cultivators, and your sect’s disciples are their chosen targets.”

Yunxi became interested after hearing this. She didn't expect that her casual killing of a troublemaker would involve the evil cultivator and even give her a scapegoat. So she put away her displeasure and said, "Captain Cen, could you tell me in detail? If the evil cultivator is involved, I am willing to lend you a hand."

Cen Sen also noticed that Yun Xi's attitude was significantly better than before, so he spoke up:

"The story begins with the return of the Weiyu Realm. The return of the Weiyu Realm to the Spirit Realm is a good thing, and the bigwigs of all the domains have tacitly accepted it. However, the Yunxiao Sea is still a hidden danger. Therefore, after the Yunxiao Sea was sealed again, all the domains and sects sent capable disciples to guard it and prevent evil cultivators from having the opportunity to break the seal."

For the first twenty years, the Cloud Sea was calm and the seal remained intact. However, starting in the thirtieth year, some disciples on rotation secretly attempted to break the seal. This was discovered by the Xuanze Demon King, who guarded the Cloud Sea, and the disciples were arrested.

This investigation revealed that these disciples had long ago had their souls replaced, and their bodies were now filled with evil spirits. Their goal was to infiltrate the Cloud Sea stronghold and do everything in their power to destroy the seal on the evil god's body.

Yunxi interrupted:
"If the person you're with day and night has a different soul, or is still an evil spirit, doesn't anyone notice?"

Cen Sen said helplessly:
"The evil spirit devoured the cultivator's soul, possessed complete memories, and used a concealment potion to perfectly hide its evil aura. Unless you search the soul, it is impossible to detect it."

Upon hearing the words "concealment potion," Yunxi had a premonition of impending trouble, but she still asked:
"As far as I know, only the 'Medical Immortal Sect' can refine this potion. Did it leak out from there?"

Cen Sen shook his head and said:
"I don't know. The Medical Immortal Sect is also investigating this matter. There are only vague rumors that someone in the Weiyu Realm has inherited the mantle left by the Medical Immortal Sect in the lower realm. Perhaps the medicine came from there."

Before Cen Sen could finish speaking, he seemed to realize something. He said that the name "Haoran Sect" sounded familiar. It turned out that this was the sect that was rumored to have produced disciples who inherited the legacy of the Immortal Physician Sect.

Moreover, this sect was founded in the lower realm by the Great Venerable Haoran of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and it has a Mahayana Venerable in charge, which is why the Immortal Healer Sect has been slow to come looking for them.

Yunxi felt like she'd been hit hard right in the face, but she remained calm and composed, maintaining her senior's demeanor as she casually said:

"I am Ranxi of the Haoran Sect. I wonder if there are any 'rumors' about me in the messages you received?"

Yunxi pronounced the last two words very softly, but it directly indicated that she was an ascended cultivator who inherited the legacy of the Immortal Medicine Sect.

Cen Shen was stunned. He didn't know what expression to make or how to respond. However, he was certain that the death of this Haoran Sect disciple and the theft of his body were not accidental. They must have been done by evil cultivators.

He had previously speculated that the evil cultivators had coveted the disciple's body and wanted to take his place so they could infiltrate the sect and lie low, and take action when the disciple went to guard the Cloud Sea. But now it seems that the other party had another purpose in stealing the corpse.

Yunxi knew without a doubt that this was clearly aimed at her. No wonder the Grand Ancestor Haoran let her leave the sect so readily. He probably wanted her to leave the sect to relax and gain experience, and also to avoid the turmoil. But even though she didn't seek trouble, trouble found her.

If Mu Zijun's corpse fell into the hands of evil cultivators, she would likely be the one to suffer. Therefore, she immediately used her spiritual power to draw a sealing inscription in the air.
