Chapter 801 Accepting the Invitation

Upon hearing Cao Yi's explanation, Yun Xi paused for a moment, feeling that Mingyou Zhenzun's reason was somewhat far-fetched, yet still reasonable. She coughed lightly and said:

"In that case, let's go and meet the cultivators from the Ghost Realm first."

Cao Yi, who had a scholarly air about him, smiled slightly, then straightened his expression and quickened his pace to follow Yun Xi into the main hall of Haoran Peak.

Sect Leader Yu Geng is still in seclusion, breaking through to the next level, so Venerable Hao Hui will temporarily assume the position of sect leader. However, all the disciples in the sect, from top to bottom, tacitly agree that Hao Hui is the sect leader, and Yun Xi naturally follows suit, cupping her hands and saying:
"Sect Leader, is there something urgent that you asked me to come out of seclusion?"

Hao Hui was forced into the role of acting sect leader. The complicated sect affairs of the past three years had worn him down, and he would occasionally slack off. However, since the people from the Ghost Realm specifically invited Ran Xi and Cao Yi to the Ghost Realm to resolve their troubles, he couldn't refuse.

Although he was currently acting as the sect leader, he couldn't make decisions directly, so he simply invited both of them to come and ask for Ranxi and Cao Yi's opinions.

The sect's reputation is important, but he also needs to respect the wishes of the two. Besides, Haoran Sect can only be considered a second-rate sect in the Spirit Realm, and its foundation is still lacking. He has no intention of letting Ranxi and Cao Yi bring fame to the sect. Steady development is the most correct choice. So if the two really don't want to go, he will step in to refuse.

However, Qianmei from the Ghost Realm Netherworld Sect seemed determined to achieve her goal and had clearly come with a mission. The two exchanged witty remarks, and Haohui gleaned some useful information from her. He then sent a message talisman to Cao Yi, instructing him to go and knock on Ranxi's door so that the two of them would be prepared. This led to the scene where Cao Yi went to knock on Ranxi's door.

When Yunxi and Cao Yi stepped into the main hall, Haohui noticed that Yunxi's aura had become more solid, as if a Daoist charm was emerging. Every movement she made was perfectly measured. His mood improved, and he gestured for the two to sit down and talk before speaking:

"This is Qianmei from the Ghost Realm. She has come to the Haoran Sect seeking assistance and would like to invite you and Cao Yi to the Ghost Realm."

Yunxi noticed Qianmei as soon as she entered the main hall. Qianmei was a female ghost cultivator with the strength of the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Her face was ever-changing, and it seemed that every time she looked at her, it was a different woman's face. These faces varied in beauty, ugliness, and age, making it easy to deceive people.

As soon as Yunxi and the other person stepped into the main hall, Qianmei turned to look at them. Cao Yi had a delicate and small black jade array plate hanging from his waist. The outer edge of the array plate was inlaid with eight gemstones of different colors, symbolizing his status as an eighth-grade array master. In addition, Cao Yi looked more like a Confucian cultivator, making it hard for people to associate him with an array master who could kill without leaving a trace.

However, Qianmei had already investigated before coming. The "Heavenly Dipper and Northern Dipper Demon-Slaying Formation" of Yunxiao Sea was improved by this formation master. The improved formation was more flexible and versatile, and its power had increased. Even if some parts of the formation were damaged, it could not be broken in a short time. He was a formation master with real skills.

As for Venerable Ranxi, who entered the main hall first, she was her primary focus. However, she didn't dare to be as unrestrained as she had been when observing Cao Yi. Therefore, after being introduced by Sect Leader Haohui, she immediately stood up and cupped her hands in greeting:
"I am Qianmei of the Ghost Realm Netherworld Sect. I have come on the orders of the True Venerable Mingyou to invite Venerable Ranxi and Grand Array Master Cao Yi to the Ghost Realm. I hope to resolve the predicament of the Ghost Realm and expose the evil cultivators lurking in the shadows."

Of course, the Ghost Realm won't let you two work for nothing. You can choose from the unique spiritual plants, refining materials, and soul stones within the Ghost Realm; it's sure to satisfy you.

Yunxi smiled upon hearing Qianmei's words. Since the Ghost Realm treated people with a humble attitude, she naturally spoke politely as well.
"Fellow Daoist Qianmei, you are too kind. The five domains are all in the Weiling Realm. We share the same fate, and we all suffer the same fate. Everyone understands this principle. When trouble comes, cultivators from the Spirit Domain will not stand idly by."

Hearing Yunxi's words, Qianmei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lord Ranxi was easier to talk to than rumored, so she immediately echoed:
"What Venerable Ranxi said is very true. That's why the Ghost Realm not only invited powerful cultivators from the Spirit Realm, but also people from the Demon Realm, the Buddhist Realm, and the Monster Realm to go together, in order to break the trap set by the evil cultivators."

Yunxi hadn't expected this. She hadn't anticipated that the Ghost Realm would invite even the Buddhist cultivators, with whom they had the least friendly relationship. It seemed this matter was truly troublesome, so she asked directly:

"Has the Ghost Realm confirmed that this incident was the work of evil cultivators?"

Qianmei sighed and said:

"The True Venerable Mingyou has confirmed that the incident in the Ghost Realm was the work of evil cultivators, who wanted to seize the soul power of ghost cultivators. That strange black hole appears and disappears unpredictably, and it contains hidden formations that specifically restrain ghost cultivators, making it difficult for the disciples of the Ghost Realm to investigate. They have no choice but to shamelessly ask you all for help." There was no need to hide anything from high-level cultivators, so Qianmei spoke the truth, and this predicament truly required everyone's assistance.

Ranxi and Cao Yi exchanged a glance, seemingly intrigued, especially Cao Yi, the formation master.

Yunxi thought for a moment and then said:
"Since the Netherworld Sect has extended a sincere invitation, I will naturally go to the Ghost Realm."

Cao Yi immediately said:

"I'm willing to go too."

Qianmei finally settled her face, her gentle and elegant features accentuated by her black robe, making her even more charming. She smiled and cupped her hands in greeting:
"Thank you both for your kind assistance. When shall we depart?"

The other party was still impatient, probably afraid that the situation might change.

Since she had already decided to go to the Ghost Realm, Yunxi didn't want to waste any more time, so she said:

"We'll set off early tomorrow morning. We still need to make some preparations to deal with the evil cultivators."

"Of course, I will be waiting for you in Chuyue City early tomorrow morning."

Qianmei agreed without hesitation and set a departure time.

Yunxi nodded in agreement, and then Song Ke sent Qianmei away.

After Qianmei left, Haohui leaned back lazily in his chair, playing with the jade slip in his hand and saying:
"Ranxi, Cao Yi, have you made up your minds?"

The two nodded in unison, and Yunxi replied:
"We have thwarted most of the evil cultivators' plans over the years. The only thing that went smoothly was assembling the body of the evil god, but unfortunately we sent them all to be put together and sealed in the Cloud Sea."

The exposed evil god's soul threads were forcibly absorbed into the Soul-Gathering Mirror. The evil cultivator sensed the danger, which is why he caused trouble in the Ghost Realm this time.

I speculate that part of the evil god's soul is hidden in the Ghost Realm, and the formation in the Demon Realm that nurtures the evil god's soul is likely a smokescreen, diverting our attention and lowering our guard, but more importantly, inciting conflict between the various realms.

Hao Hui fully agreed with Yun Xi's speculation. After Yu Ling returned, she recorded his and Hao Ran Ancestor's journey to the Demon Realm and stored it in the Hive as important information. Hao Hui naturally understood the intricacies of the matter.

"In that case, your journey to the Ghost Realm must be fraught with danger!"

Yunxi said nonchalantly:

"As long as you confront evil cultivators, there will be dangers everywhere."
