Chapter 854 Mending the Fence After the Sheep Are Lost 1
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Yunxi agreed, she instructed the Ye siblings:

"You two should not go out for the time being. Stay by the side of Venerable Zanglou and be ready to serve. Also, keep a close watch on Feng Xichao and use the recording jade to record every change in his body. I need to use the process of 'poisoning' to determine how to counteract this tampered pill."

Ye Yirui and Ye Yuchen immediately responded in unison:
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zanglou knew very well that Ranxi's so-called "detoxification" was just a cover-up for the matter of the evil insects, so he did not refute it and tacitly accepted her statement.

Yunxi then nodded to Canglou and disappeared into the back hall of Dan Pavilion, leaving behind Feng Yan, who was panting heavily with anger, and Canglou Zhenzun, who was constantly emitting cold air.

As Yunxi's figure appeared above the encampment, True Venerable Xiongwei appeared beside her and asked in a gruff voice:
"Ranxi, have you caught the culprit?"

Yun Xi immediately bowed and said:
"Reporting to the True Venerable, Feng Xichao has been brought under control. The True Venerable of the Hidden Pavilion has searched his soul. This fool has refined the evil insect eggs into pills, hoping to spread the evil insects on the battlefield and turn more cultivators into puppets of evil cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Wei's face darkened, a rare occurrence, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment. Yun Xi, however, remained unaffected and continued:

"True Venerable Canglou instructed me to arrest the relevant cultivators and disciples who may have taken the problematic pills. He will contact True Venerable Huayi in the rear to send cultivators to relieve the garrison. This place must be thoroughly investigated."

After hearing this, Xiong Wei gritted his teeth and said:

“All of this will take time. There are definitely cultivators at the front-line base who haven’t been infected yet, so we can’t generalize. Moreover, the evil cultivators won’t wait for us to finish dealing with these matters before launching an attack. We need to be prepared for both scenarios.”

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"What True Venerable Xiongwei says is true. So what should we do next?"

Xiong Wei narrowed his eyes and said:

"If the evil cultivators launch an attack, I will withstand it, creating the illusion that there is an emergency at the base and we are unable to fight back. You will cooperate with the Hidden Pavilion to deal with those problematic cultivators as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Yunxi was waiting for Xiong Wei's words, after all, some things still required the big boss's approval.

The two then separated in mid-air. Yunxi's divine sense already covered the entire base, so her divine sense spikes accurately attacked those cultivators who seemed to have problems. Of course, she was not aiming to kill them, so the power of the divine sense spikes was limited, only causing the cultivators to faint briefly.

Although some more vigilant cultivators noticed and took defensive measures after the divine sense spike appeared, these defenses proved to be very fragile in the face of absolute power.

Because Yunxi cultivates the "Soul Refining Technique," her spiritual strength is always one level higher than her cultivation level. Even if she were to fight against the True Venerable Canglou with her spiritual power, she would still have a fighting chance. It is most appropriate to entrust this task to her.

The moment the unconscious cultivator collapsed, Yun Xi moved him to the back hall of the Pill Pavilion. After an incense stick's time, the back hall of the Pill Pavilion was filled with cultivators lying haphazardly. Fortunately, the True Venerable of the Hidden Pavilion used a spatial expansion technique in the back hall to accommodate thousands of cultivators with problems.

Yunxi moved quickly, but she also alerted her companions who were in the same space as these problematic cultivators. They flashed out of the tent, looking around sharply, as if trying to find their missing companions.

Xiong Wei's voice boomed in their ears like thunder:

"You need not panic. Some evil cultivators have possessed other cultivators and infiltrated the camp. I am investigating. You should return to your tents and await orders. Do not give these people any opportunity." Upon hearing this, the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. If evil cultivators could so easily abduct people from the camp, they would have doubted whether the two True Venerables were merely figureheads. Now that True Venerable Xiong Wei had explained, they returned to their tents. However, none of them could concentrate on their cultivation; they were all wondering who had fallen victim to the attack.

Inside Li Lu's tent, the four people were fully aware of what had happened, but they all tacitly refrained from sharing the news with the others.

"Li Lu, Lord Ranxi has made another move, and it was on a large scale. It seems that many people are in trouble this time."

Li Lu said with a heavy expression:

"It seems likely that we will undergo a second inspection, so you should be prepared."

The white-robed male cultivator who had just started the conversation frowned and said:
"Wasn't Tian Yu taken away? Why are they still investigating us? We were almost killed."

Li Lu shook her head and said:

“Fellow Daoist Cangxue, this is not directed at us. Venerable Ranxi must have made a new discovery through Tian Yu, which is why she has taken people on a large scale.”

"Your Excellency is meticulous and resourceful, having thwarted several plots by evil cultivators against the Weiyu Realm. This discovery likely involves even more cultivators, hence the heightened caution. Please do not misunderstand."

Li Lu had an inexplicable confidence in Yun Xi because she had heard a very subtle statement that Ran Xi was the "variable" of the Wei Yu Realm, because it was her appearance and existence that prevented the Wei Yu Realm from going to its doom.

The reason she believed it so firmly was because her good friend Su Qingzhuo was the only successor of the Tianyun Sect in the Weiyu Realm. She had privately asked him to confirm it, but Su Qingzhuo refused to answer her question on the grounds that "heavenly secrets cannot be revealed." However, in her opinion, not denying it was an affirmative answer.

Moreover, the timing of Venerable Ranxi's appearance on the ancient battlefield was very abrupt, because there was still more than a year before the next cycle, and the passage to leave the ancient battlefield should not have been opened at this time. The Venerable's arrival must have a reason.

Li Lu had already imagined many evil cultivators' schemes and plots, which inadvertently enhanced Ran Xi's mystique and made the other three companions' admiration for Ran Xi reach a new level.

At this time, Ranxi, who was being discussed, had returned to the Pill Pavilion. The Pill Hall had been closed, all the pills that were being exchanged for external use had been recalled, and the cultivators of the Pill Hall had been detained in solitary confinement and were being questioned by Feng Yan.

Yunxi first reported to the head of the pavilion:

“True Venerable Canglou, the cultivators who had contact with Feng Xichao and exchanged pills with him, as well as those on the list of problematic cultivators provided by the Ye siblings, have all been brought here by me. What should we do next?”

The voice of the hidden tower sounded as if it were being squeezed out from between its teeth:
"Feng Yan has truly taught a good junior. For the sake of a cultivator who has fallen into evil ways, he actually dared to betray the Spirit Realm. Killing him would only dirty my hands."

"I've already searched Uncle Chestnut's soul. Fortunately, the evil insect eggs were only recently released, so the situation hasn't gotten out of control yet. We need to speed up the cleanup; the evil cultivators have cultivated quite a few."

After hearing this, Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes flashed and she said:

"True Venerable One, where did Uncle Chestnut get those evil insect eggs from?"

Zanglou said coldly:
"The evil cultivators on the other side gave it to him on the battlefield. They're quite bold; they used a feint to attack one direction while secretly advancing another, and they succeeded."

Yunxi extracted useful information from Canglou's answer and immediately asked:
"True Venerable One, did this happen recently?"
