Chapter 697 Demon Core and Black Qi
After exchanging glances for a while, Yunxi rolled her eyes inwardly, but ultimately, to give Lu Zhihui face, she cupped her hands and said:

"Ranxi has met the Deer Demon King."

Lu Zhihui then withdrew his imposing aura, glanced at Bing Li hiding behind Yun Xi, and then spoke:

"What happened in the Wolong Mountains was not my will, but I suspect that the abnormality on my body is related to Han Qingwen, whom you brought to the central area."

Yunxi understood the other party's suspicions, but she wasn't going to take the blame. So she first invited Lu Zhihui to sit down before explaining the matter of the evil seed, concluding with:
"If the Deer Demon King's abnormality is related to Han Qingwen, he has already been killed. The evil seed in your body will naturally not be under his control, and the Demon King will not repeat the situation of last time."

However, I think it's unlikely that Han Qingwen could implant the evil spirits into your body without the Deer Demon King noticing, especially since your cultivation level is above his.

Moreover, he was trapped in a snare by the little girl at the time and didn't even have a chance to meet the Demon King. I don't think he has the ability to send evil seeds from a distance.

Most importantly, the evil seed is a wisp of divine soul separated from the soul of an evil cultivator. It can only be implanted into a cultivator's body undetected through dual cultivation. Therefore, the possibility of Han Qingwen doing it is extremely low.

Bingli, who was standing to the side, nodded frequently as he listened. Back then, when he was still Yunpo, he was by Lu Zhihui's side. If Han Qingwen had used some tricks on Lu Zhihui, he couldn't have been unaware of it.

After listening to Yunxi's analysis, Lu Zhihui's expression softened somewhat, but his brows furrowed even more deeply. After a moment, he looked up and said:
"Fellow Daoist Chen said you are half a successor of the Immortal Healer Sect. Can you help me see where the problem lies?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lu Zhihui knew that the pretty female cultivator in front of him was indeed quite capable and not as harmless as she appeared. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been on the evil cultivators' kill list. So he simply brought it up himself.

Yunxi was already mentally prepared; she also wanted to know why Lu Zhihui was controlled by the evil spirit, so she nodded and said:

"In that case, Ranxi will take the liberty of asking, but hopes that the Demon King will not resist my investigation."

Lu Zhihui nodded and extended his wrist.

Yunxi transformed her spiritual energy into threads, probing into Lu Zhihui's body. Then, she slowly traveled through Lu Zhihui's eight extraordinary meridians, finally arriving at his demon core.

Lu Zhihui's demon core was milky white, and inside it was a small nine-winged deer in its original form. Yun Xi wanted to get closer to investigate, but was forcefully pushed away by a halo around the demon core. This was the instinct of demon cultivators; their demon cores were equivalent to the souls of human cultivators and they did not want to be touched.

Yunxi didn't force her, but simply withdrew her spiritual energy threads and looked at Lu Zhihui with a solemn expression.

Lu Zhihui had just sensed that Yunxi wanted to examine his inner core, and seeing her frowning as she looked at him, he asked:
"But what's unusual?"

After carefully considering her words, Yunxi said:
"Demon King, no abnormalities have been found in your meridians for the time being. The problem should be with your inner core."

Lu Zhihui's eyes darkened as he said:

"Young friend Ranxi, are you sure? You didn't touch my inner core just now."

Yunxi said calmly:
“This junior did not touch your inner core, but I did see a wisp of black energy moving on it.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhihui immediately closed his eyes and focused his consciousness into his inner core, but found nothing. He opened his eyes and said:
"I have not detected the wisp of black energy you mentioned."

Yun Xi spread his hands and said:
“Demon King, if it were so easy for you to detect, you wouldn’t have been controlled without even realizing it.”

This time, Lu Zhihui did not refute Yun Xi's words. He did not want that uncontrollable situation to recur. After considering it for a moment, he asked, "Do you have a way to remove that wisp of black energy?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"I do have a method, but I'm afraid the Demon King will suffer some pain. I'm not entirely confident that I can remove that wisp of black energy. Would the Demon King like to give it a try?"

She wouldn't make any promises she couldn't keep, in case she failed.
Lu Zhihui considered for a moment and said:
"In that case, you shall come with me back to the Wolong Mountain Range. I have a safe place where you can cast spells without being disturbed."

Lu Zhihui was very cautious. His inner core was at the ninth level, and whether it was a demon cultivator or a human cultivator, it would bring great benefits. The Medical Immortal Sect was the territory of human cultivators, and he was not comfortable healing here. It would be safer to take Yunxi to his own territory. If Yunxi really had other intentions, he could deal with them.

Yun Xi didn't care; eliminating potential threats was her priority. However, her methods wouldn't be as gentle as Chen Yebai's, so she readily nodded and said:
"Alright, since it concerns the Demon King's inner core, we naturally need to be cautious."

Upon hearing this, Bing Li's eyes darted around, and she spoke up:

“Deer Demon King, now that I am aware of this matter, I will accompany Venerable Ranxi to the Wolong Mountain Range. This will not only prevent the news from leaking out, but also protect you.”

Lu Zhihui nodded in agreement. Naturally, the fewer people who knew about his plan to eliminate potential threats, the better, so as to prevent any unscrupulous individuals from taking advantage of the situation to attack him.

Now that the matter was settled, Lu Zhihui, not one to dawdle, took Ranxi and Bingli and left the Medical Immortal Sect. Before leaving, he sent a message talisman to Chen Yebai to avoid any misunderstanding.

After receiving Lu Zhihui's message, Chen Yebai's hand, which was stroking his beard, tightened, and he plucked out a whisker. His face was full of helplessness, and he felt that Lu Zhihui and Ranxi were both somewhat unreliable.

Without even consulting him, Lu Zhihui took Ranxi and ran away. He had forced Ranxi to stay at the Medical Immortal Sect, and if something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to explain it to True Venerable Haoran.

Ranxi, being incredibly reckless, followed him to the Wolong Mountains. What if she got trapped? No matter how peaceful and easy-going Lu Zhihui was, he was still a ninth-level demon king. If a conflict broke out, he wouldn't be a match for Lu Zhihui.

Chen Yebai could only inform Hua Ye and Yuan Shuang about this matter, so that if Ranxi really had a problem, someone could go and rescue her.

After hearing this, Hua Ye smiled and said:

"The Deer Demon King is so cautious, it must be because Ranxi has discovered something unusual about him. But I'm quite curious, why doesn't he come to ask Fellow Daoist Chen for help?"

Yuan Shuang, who was standing to the side, laughed and said:

"Is there even a question? It's obvious that Ranxi can eliminate the hidden dangers within him, so she didn't bother Fellow Daoist Chen. Besides, Fellow Daoist Chen is a Mahayana cultivator, while Ranxi is only at the Integration stage. Lu Zhihui isn't afraid that Ranxi will cause trouble, after all, his cultivation is superior to Ranxi's."

Some things don't need to be said too explicitly; those who understand will understand. Although Lu Zhihui has lived peacefully with human cultivators all these years, he is, after all, a demon cultivator. Just like the beast tide that was unexpectedly triggered this time, it was ultimately the human cultivators who suffered losses. Although the cause of this matter was the evil cultivator, it is normal for both sides to be wary of each other.

Chen Yebai stroked his long beard and said:

"If that's the case, then let's wait and see!"

Just then, You Zisang slipped into the main hall.
