Chapter 807 Going Together Without Thought
The next morning, Yunxi and Cao Yi were invited to the reception room by the Lord of Lizhe City. The ghost servant who came to deliver the message also looked anxious, probably because there was something urgent. The two of them did not delay and even entered the reception room before the ghost servant.

The Lord of Lizhe City was already seated in the main seat. His already pale face had turned somewhat bluish, and his ghostly aura emanated from him, clearly indicating that he was in a very bad mood. However, upon seeing Yun Xi and Cao Yi arrive together, he restrained his aura and spoke first:

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest. Something happened again in the Ghost Realm last night."

Yunxi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly before asking:

"Lord Lizhe, could you please tell me in detail what exactly happened?"

Cao Yi sat down to Yun Xi's left and turned his gaze to Lord Li Ze. He felt that the matter must be serious, otherwise Li Ze would not have invited them so early when the reinforcements had not yet arrived.

Li Ze's already effeminate face was now covered with a layer of frost, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Around midnight last night, a black hole appeared in Wunian City, not far from Wugui City, sucking in all the cultivators in an inn in the city before disappearing quickly. By the time the city lord of Wunian City noticed the spatial fluctuations and rushed there, the black hole had already vanished."

Li Ze's account was concise yet informative. Yun Xi frowned slightly and asked:
"Lord Lizhe, Wunian City is not far from Wugui City. Is it also considered an outer city of the Ghost Domain?"

"Yes."

Is this city a medium-sized city or a large city?

Although Yunxi had obtained a map of the Ghost Realm, the old ghosts here were naturally more familiar with the specifics of the Ghost Realm, so she asked directly.

"The size of Wunian City and Wugui City is similar, but Wunian City is closer to the Buddhist Domain, and the strength of the city lord of Wunian City is comparable to mine."

Since Li Ze needed help, he naturally answered all her questions.

"All the cultivators in this inn in Wunian City have been sucked away by the black hole. Are the people staying at the inn all ghost cultivators or other cultivators?"

Yunxi felt this was crucial.

"Ghost cultivators make up the majority, and most of them are rogue cultivators. There are also cultivators from other domains, but not many, only a few, and they seem to have been sucked away along with them."

"Has the city lord of Wunian City found any useful clues?"

Li Ze raised his hand and pressed his temple, saying:

"Because no clues were found, he immediately sent the message to the city lords of the various cities in the Ghost Domain. No one knows which city the next black hole will appear in, so we should all be on high alert."

After hearing this, Yunxi rubbed her fingers together and said:
“Lord Lizhe, according to the latest news, this black hole is behaving very strangely. It is not approaching the inner perimeter of the Ghost Domain, but is going against the grain. After the powerful figures in the Ghost Domain asked us for assistance, the black hole is wandering around the outer cities of the Ghost Domain. This is not a good sign.”

This is also what's giving Li Ze a headache:
“Fellow Daoist Ranxi is right. This is also what I’m worried about. Once the pattern of black hole appearance changes, it will be difficult for us to set up an ambush. We can only wait for them to come to us. But the Ghost Domain is so vast. How can we defend against it?”

Yunxi's eyes flashed after hearing this. She remembered the time that the city lord of Lizhe City mentioned last night. She took out the Moon Gate, and both the red and blue "little crescent moons" reacted. Perhaps she could help locate it. However, she wanted to go to Wunian City to check it out on-site.

"Lord of Lizhe City, instead of passively defending, we should take the initiative and devise a plan to attract the 'black hole'. May I go to Wunian City to take a look first?"

“Of course, I will give Fellow Daoist Ranxi an invitation right away. You can go directly to Wunian City to see the City Lord.”

Li Ze didn't hesitate and directly took out a card from his storage ring and handed it over.

“In that case, let’s not delay any longer. Since not everyone has arrived yet, let’s go to Wunian City first. The city lord can contact us via the communication jade slip if needed.”

"it is good."

Li Ze was naturally overjoyed. She had high expectations for Ran Xi, after all, she was a spiritual cultivator whom the True Venerable Mingyou had specifically requested to be invited.

Putting aside Ranxi's strength, her ability to restrain evil cultivators is absolutely unique. They had also heard about the Demon Realm, and although they didn't know the specific details, they could vaguely see Ranxi's shadow. He was looking forward to seeing what she could discover in Wunian City.

Just as Yunxi was about to leave, the ghost servant led two guests into the reception room.

As the man and woman entered the reception room, a familiar, deep male voice rang out: "Ranxi, you've come too!"

Yunxi knew who it was without turning around, and nodded with a smile:
"Yes, it's been two days. I didn't expect you to come to the Ghost Realm too. Did you also take on a mission this time?"

Xun Kun nodded, then cupped his hands in greeting to Li Ze, who was seated above him:

"Lord of the City, I am Xun Kun from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and I have been ordered to come to the Ghost Realm to provide support."

The female cultivator beside Xun Kun wore a black veil covering her face, a red robe covered with a black veil, and bells on her wrists and ankles made a crisp, rhythmic sound as she walked, which was very attractive.

The other person's voice had a languid quality to it.
"The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Ren Tianning, greets the Lord of Lizhe City. She has come to provide support on the orders of Ancestor Yutang."

After speaking, he cupped his hands in a salute, blinked his light amber eyes, and turned his gaze to Yun Xi and Cao Yi.

A slight smile finally appeared on the face of the Lord of Lizhe City:

"Thank you for coming to help, two cultivators from the Demonic Sect. Please have a seat."

Ren Tianning spoke up at the opportune moment:

"Fellow Daoists, are you preparing to leave?"

When Yunxi was called out, she nodded and said:
"Yes, something happened in Wunian City, which is not far from here. Cao Yi and I are going to go and take a look."

After listening, Ren Tianning's eyes flashed with interest, and he spoke directly:

"Lord Lizhe, it seems we've arrived at the perfect time. Why don't we join forces with those two and go investigate the situation?"

Although she asked a question, she had already made a decision.

The Lord of Lizhe City didn't care; the sooner they found clues, the better. However, he still had to say some polite words:

"These two have just arrived in No Return City, why don't they rest for a day first?"

"It's okay, business is more important."

Ren Tianning refused outright.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you two."

Li Ze then gave Xun Kun and Ren Tian Ning another invitation to facilitate their actions, and arranged for a ghost servant to escort the four of them away from the city lord's mansion.

Xun Kun naturally walked up to Yun Xi and whispered:
"Ranxi, you also took on this mission?"

"Yes, True Venerable Mingyou specifically requested that I come to the Ghost Realm, saying that I am a nemesis of evil cultivators!"

Yunxi replied indifferently.

A soft chuckle came from the side; without even looking, one could tell it was Ren Tianning, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Yunxi turned to the other party and said:
"Please excuse my casual manner, Holy Maiden. I ascended to heaven with Xun Kun, so I spoke rather casually."

Ren Tianning's beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons as she said:
"Seeing is believing. I never expected Fellow Daoist Ranxi to be such a prodigy. She has already joined the ranks of high-level cultivators not long after ascending. No wonder she is so highly regarded."

Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said:
"You flatter me, Saintess. These are just rumors; take them with a grain of salt."
