Chapter 698 Eliminating the Evil Seed
You Zisang bowed to the three True Venerables present before speaking:

"Ancestor, all disciples who had contact with Liang Xiao and Huo Chongshan have been arrested. Those disciples who have been confirmed to have been possessed by evil spirits have been executed, and the others who are still uncertain are being interrogated."

After hearing this, Chen Yebai sighed and said:

“Zisang, although this incident was somewhat coincidental, it has also given us the opportunity to clean up the sect.”

"You must hurry and thoroughly clean up the Healing Immortal Sect. When these disciples who withdrew from the ancient battlefield return, you must carefully vet them, lest any more evil cultivators infiltrate the sect. If our potions are tampered with by evil cultivators, it won't just be the disciples of the Healing Immortal Sect who will be implicated."

"Yes, old man."

Knowing the gravity of the situation, You Zisang agreed and replied:

“Ancestor, I have seized all the pills and potions that Liang Xiao handled. If they are found to be safe, they will be sold to others. If there are any problems, I will destroy them all.”

"Yes, you did the right thing. Did you find anything else from Huo Chongshan?"

Because Huo Chongshan dispersed his cultivation at that time, You Zisang did not have time to search his soul. It would be difficult to find out the evil cultivators lurking in the Medical Immortal Sect by following this line. Therefore, all the disciples who had contact with Huo Chongshan are now being questioned.

Ming Cong and Ming Yu were imprisoned in the Medicine Immortal Sect's water dungeon because they had gone on a mission with Huo Chongshan. To this day, neither of them knows that Uncle Huo is a henchman of evil cultivators, and they are truly wronged.

"Reporting to Ancestor, we have not found any useful information about Huo Chongshan yet. We have only locked up the disciples who had close contact with him, and we need time to investigate them one by one."

Chen Yebai nodded and said:

"Zisang, the sect leader is in charge of the aftermath of the beast tide. You are in charge of the rectification of the sect. Be sure to be serious and meticulous and do not miss any clues."

"Yes, old man."

"How is Xia Yiwan doing now?"

Since the other party had been possessed by an evil spirit, Chen Yebai was still somewhat worried.

At this moment, You Zisang was also somewhat puzzled, but she still replied:

"Thank you for your concern, Ancestor. After Yi Wan's soul returned to its place, I checked her soul and body. Apart from her soul being a little weak, there was nothing else wrong."

The disciple instructed him to temporarily seclude himself to repair his soul, and to check on his body every two days. Currently, there is no indication of any backlash from the evil spirit.

Chen Yebai nodded and said:

"You should pay more attention to this matter. It is said that Yi Wan sacrificed half of her soul in order to confuse the evil spirits. She shouldn't be able to recover her soul so quickly. It seems that Ran Xi must have put in some effort to preserve her soul."

You Zisang nodded and said:

“Yi Wan did mention this. When she woke up, she was soaking in a bathtub, and there were still traces of the medicinal properties that could repair her soul in her body. Afterwards, she took a seventh-grade soul-replenishing pill that Ran Xi gave her, which barely stabilized her soul.”

Chen Yebai stroked his beard and said:
"No wonder she became the successor of the Immortal Medicine Sect. It seems she really has a talent for alchemy. This time, Yi Wan was lucky. If it were someone else, they might not have been able to save her soul."

You Zisang nodded in agreement. Although she didn't say it aloud, her actions spoke louder than words. Meanwhile, Lu Zhihui had already brought Yunxi and Bingli back to his cave. After greeting the two, Bingli tactfully withdrew from the cave, ostensibly as a protector, but really just guarding the entrance so that she could inform the bigwigs of the Medical Immortal Sect immediately if anything unexpected happened.

Once the restrictions on the cave dwelling were lifted, Lu Zhihui spoke:

"Young friend Ranxi, how do you remove the black energy from my inner core?"

Yunxi didn't mince words, opening her palm to show Lu Zhi a purple flame reflected in his gaze.

"Demon King, if you wish to dispel the black aura, you must use my natal flame, the Xuanlei Purple Flame, to burn your inner core. My Purple Smoke is specifically designed to counter evil cultivators and will surely cause the evil spirit to manifest."

Lu Zhihui gasped upon hearing this, his face turning dark as if he were about to explode.

Yunxi immediately spoke up to comfort her:
"Demon King, haven't you noticed that your temper has become more irritable lately since you were controlled by the evil spirit? This is the subtle influence of the evil spirit on you."

Your Majesty, I have said before that the Deer Demon King of the Wolong Mountains is the most gentle and knows how to handle things. At least he wouldn't be like this now, rejecting everything before even trying.

Perhaps it was because the evil spirit instinctively feared the purple smoke that it indirectly influenced the Demon King's judgment, trying to persuade you to refuse to use this method to dispel the black energy.

Lu Zhihui took Yunxi's words to heart this time, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He had indeed been a bit irritable lately. Putting aside his confrontation with Ranxi earlier, the thought that just popped into his head was really not the kind of decision he would make.

Lu Zhihui took a deep breath, closed his eyes to adjust his state, and then opened them to say:
“You’re right. Lately, I have indeed felt like I’m being led by the nose. Now that I know I have a problem, I can’t delay any longer.”

After saying this, Lu Zhihui patted his lower abdomen, opened his mouth, and spat out the egg-sized inner core. Then he looked at Yun Xi seriously and said:
"Young friend Ranxi, I'm counting on you this time. I will reward you handsomely once it's done."

"You're too kind, Demon King. This is precisely why I stayed at the Immortal Healer Sect. I will do my utmost to help you eliminate any hidden dangers."

After saying those nice words, Yunxi raised her hand and sent out her strange fire, Purple Smoke.

A wisp of purple smoke, no bigger than the palm of a hand, drifted towards the ninth-tier demon core. The demon core instinctively tried to avoid it, but was controlled by Lu Zhihui and unable to move.

The moment Ziyan approached the demon core, she abandoned her languid state that was about to extinguish, and the flames suddenly intensified, instantly enveloping the demon core.

After the demon core was enveloped in flames, it began to jump around, trying to escape the burning purple smoke, as if it had its own consciousness. However, no matter how wildly the demon core moved, it could not escape the burning purple smoke.

Besides looking pale, Lu Zhihui was also unable to maintain his human form. After a quarter of an hour, he transformed into his original form as a nine-winged deer, his large deer eyes fixed on his inner core.

Yunxi's spiritual power also surged rapidly towards Ziyan. Looking at the wisp of black energy that appeared on the scorched demon core, she knew that her guess was correct. However, what puzzled her was when the evil spirit had put the evil spirit into Lu Zhihui's body.

As the owner of the inner core, Lu Zhihui naturally saw it as well. He flapped his wings, enduring the burning pain of the inner core, and stared intently at the wisp of black energy.

"Ah!" A shrill female voice reached Yunxi and Lu Zhihui's ears. The wisp of black energy on the inner core finally evaporated and dissipated under the burning of the purple smoke.

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and summoned Ziyan back to his dantian. Lu Zhihui then inhaled the demon core and transformed back into human form. However, because the process of Ziyan burning the inner core was too agonizing, even in human form, Lu Zhihui's tense muscles still trembled slightly.
