Chapter 844 A New Crisis 2
After hearing this, Zang Feng's eyes flashed with a dark light as he said:

"I understand, thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Ranxi."

The surrounding ghost cultivators all stared at Ni Chang, who was rolling on the ground. As the Xuan Lei Zi Yan burned her, Ni Chang's shrill screams grew fainter and fainter, and her once solid body began to fade. Finally, one of the ghost cultivators couldn't help but speak up:

"Lord Cangfeng, please save Junior Sister!"

After listening, Zang Feng pursed his lips and said:

"She wanted to send evil energy into my body while I was recovering my cultivation, but luckily I was alert and didn't let her get close. But when her plan failed, she wanted to die with me. She is no longer Junior Sister Ni Chang."

The ghost cultivator who had spoken earlier opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent after hearing Zang Feng's explanation.

Everyone saw what happened just now. Ni Chang wanted to self-destruct but was restrained by Senior Brother Cang Feng. If the spiritual cultivators who arrived in time hadn't intervened, with Ni Chang's cultivation at the Void Refinement stage, her self-destruction would have affected one-third of the cultivators in the camp.

Moreover, the person she was dragging down with her was Senior Brother Cangfeng from Xiaoyao Valley. He was the most beloved disciple of Ancestor Canglou. He had just completed an extremely difficult mission and was resting at the camp because his cultivation had dropped. If something really happened to them, they would also suffer the wrath of True Venerable Canglou.

Yunxi's Xuanlei Purple Flame was shrinking, indicating that the evil energy in Ni Chang's body had been slowly burned away. However, her figure was becoming increasingly faint, and her cultivation level was dropping rapidly, from the Refining Void stage to the Nascent Soul stage, and it was still trending downwards.

Yunxi looked at Cangfeng, who had a serious expression, and said:
"If you want to spare her life, I can take back the strange fire, but she might lose her mind again due to the evil energy."

It's clear that this Ni Chang is the junior sister of Xiaoyao Valley, so her life or death should be decided by Cang Feng of Xiaoyao Valley.

Zang Feng paused for a moment and then said:

"Please trouble Fellow Daoist Ranxi to withdraw the strange fire. Her life must be spared. We need to find out where she got infected by the evil energy and how she lost control."

Yunxi nodded in understanding, indicating that this was the most rational approach, and casually waved her sleeve to retract the purple smoke.

After the purple smoke drifted back into Yunxi's palm, it didn't forget to send a telepathic message:
“Master, the evil aura on this ghost cultivator is rather strange, as if it has its own consciousness. If I were not a lightning-attribute cultivator who is naturally able to suppress evil aura, this ghost cultivator probably wouldn’t even be able to regain its consciousness.”

Yunxi raised an eyebrow after hearing this, but said nothing. She simply sent Ziyan back to her dantian to nourish it before scanning her with her divine sense towards Ni Chang, who had stopped screaming.

Ni Chang wasn't strikingly beautiful; she was the kind of beauty that appeared only at first glance, with eyes that seemed to speak volumes. But now she was in a terrible state, her eyes devoid of any sparkle, filled only with confusion and fear.

Zang Feng stepped forward and tentatively called out:

"Ni Chang, are you alright?"

Ni Chang then came to her senses, turned to look at Zang Feng, and asked:

"Senior Brother Cangfeng, what's wrong with me? Aren't I on the battlefield?"

Then, looking down at his weakened soul, he muttered to himself:
"I'm injured? How could this happen?"

Yunxi knew immediately that Ni Chang had no memory of wanting to die together with Cang Feng after going berserk.

“Fellow Daoist Cangfeng, if you want to find out about Ni Chang’s abnormality, you’d better be careful and not let evil energy touch you. I think she may have encountered something on the battlefield, which is why she was disturbed by evil energy.”

Zang Feng nodded solemnly and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Ranxi. I've got it in mind."

Seeing that the situation was under control, Yunxi took her leave and went to the Prajna Temple's residence to visit Wuwang and Yunyi, and also to check on the injuries of Yunchen, the Buddhist disciple.

When they met the three Buddhist monks, they were also talking about what had happened at the Ghost Realm's base, and their expressions were all very heavy.

When Master Wuwang saw Yunxi, his eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. He then put his hands together and said:
"Amitabha! Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Ranxi on successfully completing your seclusion and making further progress in your cultivation."

Yunxi smiled and returned the greeting:
"Fellow Daoist Wuwang, you are too kind. This time, I can say that I turned misfortune into blessing. I came to a realization about some things and only broke through after that." Yun Yi said after performing a Buddhist salute.

"I see. This is also Fellow Daoist Ranxi's good fortune."

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, invited Yun Xi to sit on the futon and poured her a cup of Buddhist tea, pushing it in front of her without saying a word.

"Yun Chen, has your injury completely stabilized?"

Yunxi asked first.

“Amitabha! Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency. The injury to my lower dantian has stabilized. As long as I don’t fight with others, there won’t be any major problems. If I want to fully recover, I must return to Prajna Temple for seclusion.”

Yun Chen didn't hide anything and told the truth. Yun Xi knew the extent of his injuries better than anyone else.

"The fighting at the front is intense lately, and I may have to go to the battlefield as well. I thought I'd check on your recovery beforehand. This is a restorative potion I made; keep it for when you need it."

Yunxi and Yunchen have a different relationship, so a separate medicine was prepared for Yunchen.

Yun Chen didn't stand on ceremony. After thanking her, he accepted the storage bag that Yun Xi handed over and said that he would prepare a thank-you gift after returning to the Buddhist Domain.

Yun Xi waved his hand and said:
"Once the passage out of the ancient battlefield opens, you'd better return to the Buddhist Domain to recuperate. Come back here only after your injuries have fully healed. Recently, the evil cultivators have gone a bit crazy. They've sent not only evil cultivators into the battlefield, but also powerful evil creatures."

"Cultivators from both the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm have fallen victim to this trick, and the source hasn't been identified yet. It's best to be cautious."

Yunxi's words made the expressions of Wuwang and the other two extremely serious. Yunchen, obedient to advice, replied:

"I know what to do."

Wu Wang chanted a Buddhist prayer before speaking:

“We managed to retrieve the immortal bones this time, preventing the remains of our fallen ancestors from being desecrated. However, we also paid a heavy price, especially Fellow Daoist Ranxi, whose merits have been depleted by at least two-thirds.”

Yunxi could only smile wryly after hearing this:
“The situation at the time was special. We couldn’t deal with the remnant souls of those fallen evil cultivators. If we didn’t take a desperate gamble, we might become the bodies inhabited by those remnant souls. Merit can be earned again, but once you lose your life, you lose everything.”

It's not that she doesn't feel the pain, but she gets used to it after a while. It feels like good things just can't stay with her. First there was the Flower Jewel Artifact, then the Substitute Doll, and now there's the Golden Light of Merit. Fortunately, her efforts have paid off. Her cultivation has broken through to the late stage of the Integration Realm, which will give her a better chance of winning on the battlefield.

Wu Wang laughed heartily after hearing this:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi is truly magnanimous. No wonder you have such cultivation and insight at such a young age. This humble monk is ashamed of his own inferiority."

Yun Yi and Yun Chen, who were standing to the side, both nodded in agreement.

After exchanging words, Yunxi returned to her residence.

The next day, Yunxi received orders to go to the battlefield to provide support. When she saw the cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect who came to deliver the message, Yunxi simply nodded and went to the assembly point without saying anything more.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Ranxi!"

"Your Excellency Ranxi!"

"Your honor!"

Along the way, cultivators kept bowing to Yunxi; these were all cultivators who had gone to provide support together.

Hua Yi Zhenzun looked at Yun Xi and said:
"Ranxi, this time you will lead the team to the front line to provide support."
