Chapter 738 Sudden Events
Yu Tang Ruofeng returned the greeting with a cupped hand, then got straight to the point:

“Fellow Daoist Ranxi, you wouldn’t come here without a reason. I just led a team to Xuanyuan Peak and happened to see some evil cultivators attacking Liao Ziqian. Fortunately, your spirit pet Lili was clever and blocked the attack for him, and even exposed a traitor within the Demon Flame Hall.”

"so what?"

"Could Lili please accompany me for a walk around the sect?"

Faced with such a blunt request, Yunxi rolled her eyes inwardly, but outwardly said:

“I have no objection to Lili going with you, but raising Lili has also cost me a lot of resources.”

The implication is that they refuse to work for free.

Ruofeng nodded solemnly and said:

"Of course, we won't let Lili's hard work go to waste."

"However, Ziqian likes Lili and has taken him to Xuanyuan Peak to keep him company. If you want to borrow Lili, you should discuss it with him first. After all, I promised Xiaobudian first, and I can't go back on my word."

"it is good."

Ruofeng got the answer he wanted and left Kefeng.

For the next two days, no one bothered Yunxi, allowing her two days of peace and quiet.

On the morning of the fourth day, Ruofeng personally escorted Lili back to Kefeng, thanked her politely, and then took his leave without saying anything.

Lili leaped onto Yunxi's lap, raised her neck, revealed the storage ring around her neck, and squinted her dark grape-like eyes, saying:
"Your Excellency, this is Elder Ruofeng's gift of gratitude."

"That's right, you're generous. Keep the things for yourself; you earned them through your own hard work."

Yunxi said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please see if there is anything you need. Lili can exchange with you."

Li Li said generously.

"Alright, we'll see when you have some free time. Tell me, what have you been busy with these past three days?"

“Your Excellency, when I was protecting Ziqian, the shrewd Elder Ruofeng saw through my scheme and came looking for you. Then, she somehow obtained a winged leopard cub and swapped me out of Ziqian’s hands.”

As it said this, it even wagged its tail.

"Elder Ruofeng is quite cunning. She said I am your spirit pet, and Ziqian is only borrowing me to accompany him for a few days. When you leave, I will no longer be able to accompany him. But the winged leopard cub is different. It is an ownerless magical beast. If it is contracted from a young age, it can grow up together and the winged leopard will become his best partner."

Ziqian was persuaded and, with Xunkun's help, signed a contract with the Winged Leopard, allowing Ruofeng to take me away smoothly.

The next three days were spent wandering around the sect, and they actually discovered quite a few spies among the evil cultivators, and even some who had been possessed. Although they weren't possessed by evil cultivators, they didn't seem like good people either.

After hearing this, Yunxi patted Lili's head and said:

"It seems the Heavenly Demon Palace isn't a monolithic entity. You haven't exposed yourself, have you?"

"Master, rest assured, Elder Ruofeng has hidden me in the spirit beast ring. If I encounter any problematic disciples, I will send a message to her. Lili has not interfered with the rest."

"Lili, did they manage to get anything out of the monks who attacked Ziqian?"

“Your Majesty, Li Li doesn’t know about these things. After they were captured, they were sent to the Demon Flame Hall, which I have never been to.”

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and flames exploded everywhere. Yunxi extended her divine sense and found that a mountain peak in the Heavenly Demon Palace had been half-shaved off by the sudden explosion.

Yunxi picked up Lili, frowned as she looked at the peak where the accident had occurred, and then with a flick of her sleeve, she woke up the sleeping Taolin, who was still somewhat dazed when she revealed herself.

"Taolin, whose hermitage was the mountain where the incident occurred?"

Tao Lin looked in the direction Yun Xi pointed, and after a moment's reaction, blinked her peach blossom eyes and said:

"That seems to be where True Venerable Xue Yu cultivates, so why was it blown up?" "Something must have happened."

Yunxi narrowed her eyes, realizing that the Heavenly Demon Palace was indeed a complex place.

Just then, Xun Kun brought Liao Ziqian to Yun Xi's courtyard. Now he dared not let Ziqian out of his sight for even a moment.

Yunxi asked directly:

"Xun Kun, what happened?"

"Xue Yu's peak was sealed off on the first day. Elder Ruofeng led people to investigate, but found nothing amiss. However, the seal was not lifted. She said there were still suspicious points and she planned to search again after checking all the sect disciples. As a result, this incident happened today."

“She returned Lili to me fifteen minutes ago without saying a word and left. I don’t know if she’s alright.”

Xun Kun took a deep breath and said:
"Let's wait and see! Hopefully nothing will happen."

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. A moment later, Xun Kun received Xuan Yuanwei's message talisman, and his eyes darkened as he said:

"Ranxi, Ruofeng is seriously injured, and Master wants you to go and see him."

"Let's go then!"

Yunxi was speechless. How come she always gets such good luck?

Lili and Diandian had already crawled into the spirit beast pouch, and the three of them went to the main hall at the summit.

Yu Tang Feng Xin's expression remained relatively calm, but the oppressive aura emanating from her made the elders and peak masters in the main hall feel suffocated.

After Xun Kun and Yun Xi entered the main hall, she toned down her imposing manner and spoke to Yun Xi with a gentle expression:

"Young friend Ranxi, Ruofeng has been ambushed by an evil cultivator. I would be grateful if you could take a look at her injuries."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Yunxi nodded in agreement and entered the side hall accompanied by Xunkun. Fengxin followed closely behind, leaving Moyong to oversee the situation.

Inside the side hall, Xuanyuan Wei was using his magic to suppress Ruofeng's injuries. Ruofeng lay on the jade bed with her eyes closed and her face pale. Her furrowed brows from time to time expressed her discomfort.

Beside him was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe with dark patterns, who was taking Ruofeng's pulse. However, his expression was too serious, suggesting that Ruofeng's condition was rather bad.

Yunxi did not abruptly interrupt the middle-aged man taking her pulse, but instead asked Xuanyuan Zhenzun:

"Senior, how did Fellow Daoist Ruofeng fall victim to this ambush?"

Feng Xin answered her:
"Ruofeng felt that there was something unusual about the mountain peak where Xue Yu was cultivating, so after investigating the disciples in the sect, she led people to that mountain peak again. This time she discovered the secret chamber that Xue Yu had built with the Spirit-Slaying Stone."

Inside the secret chamber was a protective array. When she went to investigate, she inexplicably triggered something, and the array suddenly exploded. Although she managed to dodge it, she was inexplicably injured and fainted. She was later brought back by disciples of the Demon Flame Hall.

At this moment, the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Demon Palace who had been taking pulses withdrew his hand and said with a serious expression:

“Ancestor, Ruofeng’s divine sense has not only been severely damaged, but it is also mixed with a wisp of soul thread of unknown origin. I cannot forcibly separate it. Now that wisp of soul thread is rapidly merging with Ruofeng’s divine sense.”

Yunxi knew immediately that this was not a good thing, and immediately said to Xuanyuan Wei:
"Senior Xuanyuan, please stabilize Ruofeng's physical body. I need to forcibly extract her soul. Otherwise, once that wisp of soul of unknown origin merges with her soul, it will be too late to save her."

"it is good."

Xun Kun transmitted his voice:
"I will protect you."

Then Yunxi took out her Soul-Gathering Mirror and said to the unconscious Ruofeng:
"excuse me."

Yunxi activated the Soul-Gathering Mirror and flew to Ruofeng's head. Then she began to extract her soul. However, this time the resistance was great, forcing her to increase the output of her soul power. The Soul-Gathering Mirror shook and slowly extracted Yutang Ruofeng's soul.

 See you tomorrow!
