Chapter 857 Everyone has their own plans
The Ye siblings had already realized the seriousness of the problem, so after putting away the image-recording jade, they quickly followed behind Venerable Ranxi and left the private room.

Zanglou Zhenzun had already conducted a preliminary screening of the captured cultivators, sending those who were safe back to their tents. The remaining 749 cultivators stayed where they were, and Feng Yan stood beside Zanglou Zhenzun, trying to minimize her presence.

While Canglou was still deep in thought, he saw Yunxi approaching quickly with her entourage and immediately asked:
"Ranxi, did you find anything?"

Yun Xi nodded seriously and said:

"Have."

He then nodded to the Ye siblings.

Ye Yirui and Ye Yuchen exchanged a glance, and then each activated their recording jade, playing back the interrogation of Feng Xichao and Uncle Li from two different angles.

Zanglou managed to remain calm, as he already knew of the existence of the evil insects. However, Feng Yan was unable to maintain her composure. When she saw how Feng Xichao died, the muscles in her face twitched uncontrollably, and her gaze towards Uncle Chestnut in the scene was filled with anger and hatred.

But none of this could compare to the horror Feng Yan felt when she saw the nematode; the gasp she made was clearly audible to everyone present.

After the content from the two recording jade pieces finished playing, Yunxi spoke:

“True Venerable Zanglou, I believe that in order to prevent these nematodes from lurking in the bodies of cultivators without their knowledge, all cultivators in the entire settlement must undergo examination.”

However, we need Master Ruohuai's help. These black threadworms are clearly cultivated by evil cultivators and activated by evil energy. Before the evil worms convert all their power into the power of their host, we have a chance to extract them. Once we extract them, we will have a way to eliminate them.

Zanglou nodded in agreement, then his eyes sharpened and he said:

"The evil lord on the other side really knows how to seize opportunities. He has already confronted Xiong Wei. I will go and lend him a hand. You stay in the rear and all cultivators must remain at the camp and not engage in battle."

Without waiting for Yunxi's reply, he had already disappeared from his seat.

Then, Canglou's deep voice echoed throughout the camp, ordering all disciples to remain in their tents and await further instructions.

Yun Xi frowned slightly as she looked at Feng Yan and said calmly:

“Fellow Daoist Feng, let’s stay in the Pill Pavilion for now to keep an eye on these problematic disciples and wait for the two True Venerables to return.”

Feng Yan closed her eyes, nodded dejectedly, and slumped into the chair below her. Her face was beyond ugly.

Yunxi then held Lili and instructed the Ye siblings beside her:
"Make copies of the contents of several recording jades. Once the cultivators dispatched from the rear arrive, there will be no need for me to explain them one by one."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After agreeing, the two immediately began to copy the image-recording jade.

Yunxi was too lazy to talk to Feng Yan, so she ruffled Lili's hair and said:
"Check these cultivators for insects."

Lili raised her hind leg and scratched her ear. Her dark, grape-like eyes then looked at the cultivators lying haphazardly on the ground, observing them very carefully. She occasionally transmitted her voice to Yunxi, pointing out any problematic cultivators she had discovered.

When Canglou arrived at the battlefield, Xiong Wei had already transformed into his original form as the Earth Black Bear. He slammed his paw on the ground, and countless earth spikes flew out, attacking the densely packed evil cultivators and evil creatures surging towards him, instantly clearing the entire battlefield. "How dare you!"

The Evil Lord was surprised that a Mahayana cultivator from the Spirit Realm would take action against a low-level evil cultivator. He immediately appeared on the battlefield, raised his hand and launched a black ball of light straight at Xiong Wei's head. He then casually waved his sleeve to send all his own cultivators back to the rear.

When the two Mahayana True Venerables clashed, even a slight leak of their power could crush a low-level cultivator into mincemeat, leaving them no chance to dodge. Today, the Spirit Realm did not send any cultivators to the battlefield; only Xiong Wei was there to fight. This gave the Evil Venerable a certain suspicion, making him feel that the things he had his subordinates prepare might be useless.

The next moment, Xie Zun felt that his guess had been confirmed, because Cang Lou appeared on the battlefield with a gloomy face, stood directly on Xiong Wei's shoulder in his original form, and blocked the black ball of light he shot without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Canglou was transmitting information to Xiong Wei about the situation behind them. Upon hearing this, Xiong Wei roared in anger:

"Evil Lord, you rats in the gutter, do you know what you're doing?"

Without waiting for a response, he slammed both bear paws into the ground, causing the entire battlefield to tremble. Forces from the depths of the earth surged toward the evil cultivators' stronghold, wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

Zanglou also made his move with a gloomy face. He flicked his sleeve and sent out his staff, which transformed into countless soul needles like raindrops, indiscriminately attacking the evil cultivators and evil creatures in his sight. Screams and roars echoed across the battlefield. The Evil Lord looked at the two who were making ruthless moves, his eyes flashed, and he directly ordered them to withdraw from the battlefield.

In the eyes of the Evil Lord, this was the Spirit Realm cultivators' impotent rage. It seemed that their puppet plan had taken effect, and there must be a problem with the Spirit Realm cultivators' base. With no one else to send, these two had no choice but to take action themselves.

He didn't need to confront these two now. He was confident that the final victory would belong to them, so he chose to avoid their sharp edge. Anyway, the ones who couldn't afford to drag things out now were the Spirit Realm cultivators. He wished that the two would bring all the cultivators from their rear bases here, so that more puppets could be created, causing the Spirit Realm cultivators to kill each other. He could just sit back and reap the benefits.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the evil cultivators had all retreated, leaving only Xiong Wei and Cang Lou on the vast battlefield. Xiong Wei transformed back into human form, turned his head, and said:

"These scoundrels actually retreated."

Zanglou held a new walking stick in his hand and said coldly:

"Hmph! The Evil Lord just doesn't want to confront the two of us head-on. He wants to wait until we are isolated and helpless before making his move. Let's go back to our base."

Xiong Wei spat and disappeared from the battlefield along with Canglou.

When the two leaders returned to their camp, the entire camp was deathly silent, seemingly empty. However, a quick scan with their divine senses revealed that all the cultivators were quietly remaining in their respective tents, whispering and speculating about why the True Venerable had not allowed them to go to the battlefield.

When the two appeared in the Pill Pavilion, they saw Ranxi raise her hand and flick out spiritual energy threads to bind cultivators. She bound them accurately with each strike and locked them up separately, not allowing anyone else to approach.

Yunxi sensed a spatial fluctuation and saw the two True Venerables return. She immediately stood up and said:
"You two True Venerables have worked hard; you have managed to stabilize the battle situation for now."

Xiong Wei plopped down in the chair and waved his hand, saying:
"Don't worry, the Evil Lord has retreated for now. He's probably waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. Has the search of the base been completed?"

Yunxi nodded, glanced at Ye Yuchen, and the other party understood and immediately presented a memory jade to Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei was puzzled, so Cang Lou spoke up:

"You'll understand what's going on once you see it."

Xiong Wei frowned, grabbed the recording jade, and eagerly probed into it with his divine sense. After a moment, he began to loudly curse the evil god.
