Chapter 848 I had no choice but to
Ancient Battlefield Ghost Domain Base
After Zang Lou finished his conversation with Hua Yi and the other two, he briefly parted ways with Yun Xi. He went to see Zang Feng and prepared to take Ni Chang, who had fallen into madness again, away. Zang Feng finally showed a hint of worry on his face and said:

"Grandmaster, Fellow Daoist Ranxi said that Ni Chang is beyond saving. Do you have any ideas?"

Clearly, when he asked Ranxi to spare Ni Chang's life, he also intended to save her. He asked his ancestor about it directly.

Zanglou sighed, his withered hand gripping his cane tightly, and said in a low voice:
"Come in with me, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, Master."

The two then entered the tent at the Xiaoyao Valley camp.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zang Feng solemnly saw his grandmaster off. He knew that Ni Chang was truly beyond saving this time.

However, Zang Feng only sighed for a moment before coldly leading his disciples to imprison the ghost cultivators who had retreated with Ni Chang separately. As for whether they had been parasitized by the evil worms, that would have to wait for the three patriarchs to take action.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the main tent was also tense. Xiong Wei shouted at the top of his lungs:

"These insidious and despicable evil cultivators are actually raising insects. They are incredibly audacious. Don't they know how troublesome these things are? It's like asking a tiger for its skin. They will definitely become the insects' nourishment."

Dai Tong's expression wasn't much better. She hadn't expected that evil cultivators would stoop to such a low level, resorting to any means necessary to seize control of the Spirit Realm. She said coldly:
“Xiong Wei, save your energy. No matter how nasty you are, they won’t hear you. Let’s find a way to clear out the cultivators in the camp first. We must not let that thing spread, otherwise you and I will have to be prepared to stay on the ancient battlefield forever.”

Hua Yi, standing to the side, also had a gloomy expression. He hadn't expected such a change to occur on the ancient battlefield. They had previously thought that the two accidents were caused by evil energy entering the body. After all, the long battles not only exhausted the cultivators physically and mentally, but also left everyone with injuries to some extent. It was normal for them to be tainted by evil energy.

Moreover, both incidents were brought under control without causing any casualties, so they ignored them and simply increased the supply of pills to help the injured cultivators recover quickly and prevent the evil spirits from taking advantage of them.

However, unexpectedly, the cultivator's loss of control was not only due to the entry of evil energy into the body, but also to the entry of evil insects. This changed the nature of the matter. Hua Yi was certain that these two incidents were a test by the evil cultivators. If they did not take it seriously, then the next time would not be a test.

After thinking it through, Hua Yi took a deep breath and said:
"Things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. Now that we've discovered the anomaly, we need to deal with it as soon as possible. I suggest we replace Master Ruohuai, who is stationed at the front line, with his Buddhist power. He can kill the evil insects, and most importantly, he can detect the cultivators in the area over a wide area. We can just provide support."

Dai Tong nodded and said:
“I agree. Buddhist cultivators have always been the nemesis of evil cultivators. With Ruohuai here to oversee things, we can act with confidence. However, the front line cannot be left unattended. The cultivators fighting at this time are the targets of evil cultivators.”

Xiong Wei slammed his fist on the jade table beside him, gritting his teeth as he said:
“I’ll go and bring Ruohuai back, but first I need to investigate the demon realm’s stronghold. There’s already a demon cultivator who’s been controlled by the evil worms. Although I’ve suppressed it, the worms are probably still inside him. If he comes into contact with other demon cultivators in the next few days, it could spread.”

Hua Yi and Dai Tong exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement:

“No problem, you can go back with Canglou and explain the situation to Fellow Daoist Ruohuai.”

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

Xiong Wei was a man of action; after speaking, he left the main tent to make arrangements.

Dai Tong then turned to look at Hua Yi and said:
"Hua Yi, I didn't expect you to have made a profit on the very first day you sent Ran Xi out. It seems you were right after all." Hua Yi felt that Dai Tong was being sarcastic, but he could only force a faint smile as he pondered how to investigate the cultivators stationed in the Spirit Realm.

Meanwhile, after explaining the precautions to Zang Feng, Zang Lou prepared to leave with Ran Xi. He did not intend to spread the news of the discovery of the evil insects. If he revealed the news in advance, the ghost cultivators in the camp who were affected might escape first, or they might take a desperate gamble, which would be a loss for them.

They just didn't expect that Xiong Wei would be there when they returned to the front lines. When they learned that Xiong Wei was going to replace Ruo Huai, Cang Lou did not object. Only when the rear was stable could they fight the evil cultivators with all their might on the battlefield.

Shortly after Xiong Wei met with Canglou, Yun Xi also arrived to join them. After parting ways with Canglou Zhenzun, she went to see Xun Kun and told him the truth that the Evil Qi Silk was a kind of insect.

Upon hearing this, Xun Kun's expression immediately changed, and he quickly said:
"Ranxi, can you find a way to get an evil insect? I'd like to see if we can use the Soul Bell to control it and find its companions."

This was important business, and Yunxi readily agreed:

"No problem, I'll go to the front lines to help you. However, the base will be thoroughly searched. Be vigilant and keep your protective aura active at all times. Be especially careful when unfamiliar cultivators approach you, particularly those who have just returned from the battlefield. Remember that!"

Xun Kun, knowing the gravity of the situation, immediately replied:
"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Yunxi finished explaining everything she needed to, and then hurried to meet up with them. From afar, she saw the tall and muscular Xiong Wei, so she quickly came to their side and said:

"Ranxi greets True Venerable Xiongwei. Do you wish to accompany us to the front lines?"

Xiong Wei's square, dark face was serious.
"I will go to replace Master Ruohuai. He will return to assist Huayi and Daitong in investigating the base."

Yunxi nodded in understanding after hearing this; this was when the advantages of Buddhist cultivation were evident.

Once everyone had arrived, Canglou waved his sleeve and led the two away from the rear camp.

When the three returned to the temporary city, Master Ruohuai, who had received the message, had been waiting for a while. The two sides exchanged a few words briefly before parting ways again.

This time, Master Ruohuai returned to the rear camp alone, while Canglou stayed in the temporary city to oversee the situation, and Xiong Wei took Yunxi back to the front line.

Before leaving, Master Ruohuai said that during the time he took Yunxi away from Canglou, he had thoroughly investigated all the cultivators in the temporary city. His method was very simple: after nightfall, he activated the city's protective array and then used the "Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere" technique, which forced the affected cultivators to reveal their true colors, and they were all captured by Ruohuai.

Fortunately, not many cultivators were affected, less than fifty in total. Some of them were not completely controlled. If Master Huai personally extracted the evil insects and cleaned away the evil energy, these cultivators could return to their original groups.

As for those cultivators who have already been controlled, they can only give up part of their cultivation to completely sever the control of the evil worms on them. However, these cultivators' combat power will be greatly reduced, and they will probably be sent back to their rear base.

The remaining cultivators who were completely turned into puppets of evil cultivators had only one path to take: annihilation. Fortunately, there were fewer than ten such cultivators, mainly because their Dao hearts were flawed, which gave evil cultivators an opportunity to take advantage of them.
