Chapter 655 Trouble Comes Knocking 3
Yunxi put away the Soul-Gathering Mirror with satisfaction. Looking at the evil soul that was rampaging in the mirror, she flicked in a wisp of soul power to "isolate" it separately. She would search the soul again when she got back. She wanted to see what kind of conspiracy the evil cultivator had devised against her this time.

Cen Sen watched Yun Xi's series of actions and felt that she was too decisive and efficient. After the two bodies borrowed by the evil cultivator were turned to ashes, Yun Xi withdrew her domain.

When the two reappeared in public, their two deputies, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately went to greet them.

Yunxi said to Cen Shen:
"The body has been recovered. I'll leave the rest to Captain Cen. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he left decisively.

Cen Sen wanted to keep her but lacked the ability, and in the end could only watch helplessly as Ran Xi disappeared before his eyes.

Two deputies immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Captain, what's going on?"

Cen Senzhi briefly explained the process of finding Mu Zijun's body, and then gave the instructions:
"I'm going to the city lord's mansion to report this matter. The city gates should not be opened for the time being. You all need to immediately investigate the whereabouts of that middle-aged male cultivator and see who he has been in contact with. If anyone is suspected, bring them back to the city garrison first."

And most importantly, investigate everyone in the city guard post who came into contact with Mu Zijun's corpse. There must be an accomplice of the evil cultivator among them; otherwise, no one could have smuggled the body out right under our noses!

Cen Sen spoke the last sentence through gritted teeth; it was as if they had utterly humiliated their city garrison, and he had never tolerated traitors.

"Yes, Captain."

The two deputies exchanged a glance, then turned and went to complete their mission.

Cen Sen went straight to the city lord's mansion without any delay.

Yunxi, who had just left, had entered Chong'an Mountain. There were only mountains here, but each mountain was a different color. There were earthy yellow peaks with no green in sight, and black peaks that gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling. There were also green, gold, and white peaks, which gave people a different feeling altogether.

After scanning the area with her divine sense, Yunxi discovered that these mountains were manifestations of different elements, which was why they displayed different colors. Each mountain had spiritual plants and demonic beasts of the corresponding element, making it an excellent training ground.

After leaving Chong'an City, Yunxi changed her face with the "Glassy Jade Face," put on her own custom-made high-level robe, suppressed her cultivation to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and went up a black mountain. This mountain was full of ghostly energy and was very suitable for ghost cultivators to train.

After entering the mountain, she encountered several cultivators who were obviously there to harvest yin-attribute spiritual plants. They simply nodded to each other from a distance as a greeting, and then kept their distance, clearly intending not to interfere with each other.

Yunxi chose a crevice in the rocks as a temporary resting place. After placing an isolation array plate, she took out the Soul-Collecting Mirror, still thinking about searching for souls.

The moment the evil cultivator's soul left the Soul-Gathering Mirror, it began to burn, seemingly trying to escape using a secret technique. Yun Xi's eyes flashed, and a Soul-Piercing Thorn instantly pierced into the cultivator's soul. The cultivator let out a wail, and as the secret technique failed, his soul exploded instantly.

Yunxi had no choice but to leave the isolation array, muttering angrily:
"They actually went to such lengths, preferring to self-destruct rather than have their souls searched. That's really something!"

Yunxi was unaware that after the evil cultivators repeatedly encountered setbacks in the Weiyu Realm and were repeatedly defeated by her, directly or indirectly, they had reached a tacit agreement: if they fell into Ranxi's hands and were certain they could not escape, they would self-destruct and severely injure her. In any case, they must not let Ranxi know any of their plans.

After so many open and covert struggles, the evil cultivators all felt that Ranxi was very strange. She could always catch them with the slightest clues, and most importantly, she had the ability to ruin their plans.

When the entire Wei Yu Realm ascended to the heavens, they thought their chance to kill Ran Xi had arrived. However, she broke through in full view of everyone, advancing two ranks in quick succession. Afterwards, she was protected by a Mahayana True Venerable and remained secluded in her sect after leaving Wei Yu Realm's territory, preventing them from even having a chance to eliminate her. Now, they have finally discovered Ran Xi's whereabouts, but not only have they failed their mission, they have also had their souls forcibly captured. The evil cultivator was extremely frustrated, so the moment she broke free of control, he escaped at the cost of burning his soul.

As it turned out, Ranxi was even more ruthless than the evil cultivators. She directly tried to destroy his soul, so he had no choice but to self-destruct. If he could even hurt Ranxi, he would consider it a win.

The power of the soul self-destruction was considerable. The isolation array shattered after only two breaths. Yunxi had already retreated to a safe place. After the aftershocks of the self-destruction dissipated, she put away the shattered array plate and then flashed away from the original spot, preparing to choose a new place to settle down.

Shortly after she left, a tall, slender figure appeared in front of the crevice where Yunxi had been standing. The other person's cultivation was at the early stage of the Integration Realm. After casting a Spirit Probing Technique and getting the answer he wanted, he vanished.

Yunxi didn't get any useful information from the evil cultivators, so she headed towards the inner perimeter of Chong'an Mountain. Since she was already there, she might as well train herself and see if there were any rare and precious treasures in the center of Chong'an Mountain.

Yunxi reached the central area on the twentieth day and was then trapped by a group of moving rocks.

At first, Yunxi thought she had entered a maze, but a day later she realized she was wrong; she was trapped by the "living rock."

These gray-black rocks shifted their positions under her consciousness to confuse her, then gradually led her to a specific place.

Yunxi's divine sense could clearly see the actions of these "living rocks," but she was also curious about what these "living rocks" wanted to do, so she didn't expose them. Instead, she followed their lead and headed towards a specific location.

After circling around countless times, she finally passed through a barrier and entered another space.

Looking at the lush green mountains and fields, Yunxi took a deep breath and slowly released her divine sense. The next moment, a graceful young woman walked towards her, gave her a polite bow, and said:
"Welcome, distinguished guests, to Yanshi Village. Please come in."

Yunxi glanced at the girl dressed in coarse cloth and simple hairpins, then nodded. Since they were already inside, they had to find out the purpose of these "people".

After entering Yanshi Village, which the other party had mentioned, she finally saw people. These people all warily avoided her when they saw Yunxi, and even pulled back the children who wanted to watch the excitement.

Someone greeted the girl who was leading the way:
"Xiaomeng, have we had some guests?"

"Yes, the patriarch asked me to take the guest to see him."

The tall man who asked the question glanced at Yun Xi and then instructed her:

"Then be careful, don't get scammed."

"Don't worry, Uncle Yan, I understand."

After saying that, he quickened his pace and headed towards the center of the village.

Yunxi's pace remained unhurried, yet she did not fall behind. She felt that the people of Yanshi Village harbored inexplicable hostility towards her, and she did not recall ever offending these "people."

"Distinguished guest, you have arrived!"

　See you tomorrow, babies~
