Chapter 918 Two choices
Feng Ling, Lan Yue, and Wu Wang's eyes lit up upon hearing Yun Xi's words, and Feng Ling was the first to ask:

"Ranxi, are you sure your attack was effective?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
“I’m sure. I heard a ‘click’ sound, the sound of the passage being damaged, and then the black hand appeared.”

After listening, Lan Yue said thoughtfully:

"So that's why you attacked that black hand with all your might, instead of dodging it, just to cover up that sound?"

After hearing this, Yunxi smiled faintly at Lanyue Zhenzun, who had a youthful face:

"Senior is right. Besides concealing the attack on the entrance to the passage, I also want to avenge the previous death. More importantly, I want to get close to the entrance to investigate the situation inside the passage and prepare for the next action."

Lan Yue nodded knowingly and said:

"I see. So, what have you found out? How can we cooperate with you?"

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said:

"I discovered that besides the passage becoming unstable, the black hand's strength has also diminished somewhat. It's not because my cultivation level has improved that this is happening, but because its endurance is weakening."

Feng Ling narrowed her phoenix eyes and said:

"Ranxi, your final all-out attack is one that we may not be able to dodge. I sensed the power of the lightning tribulation."

Yunxi chuckled after hearing this:

"That was the tribulation power I collected with the Seven Star Deadly Staff when I left the ancient battlefield to undergo the Mahayana Tribulation and Heavenly Punishment Tribulation. It has been stored in my natal magic weapon. This time, I gave it all to that black hand. It would be better if it could cause damage, but if not, it could at least make the opponent stop for a while."

Wu Wang gasped upon hearing this:

"Ranxi, your Heavenly Punishment Lightning is Soul Lightning, can you really collect it?"

Yunxi nodded seriously and said:

"can."

Feng Ling immediately smiled, her phoenix eyes narrowing:
"It seems the old monster in the Wuwang Ruins is going to suffer this time. That's soul lightning. I really want to see him rolling around on the ground."

Although Lining, who was being discussed, did not writhe on the ground in pain, his roars echoed throughout the entire Wuwang Ruins. Even the Evil Lord slammed his head into the pool of blood, howling in pain.

"I'm going to tear that female cultivator to pieces!!!"

Li Ning was filled with impotent rage. The other party dared to strike him with soul lightning, which made him so angry that he wanted to rush out of the Void of Nothingness without a care in the world, especially since the other party's weapon was the long staff that he hated the most.

The sight of that long black staff reminded him of his humiliating experience of being driven into the Void of Nothingness.

"Li Ning, calm down! Don't act rashly again. Have you forgotten what happened to Murong Zhi? Do you want to disappear too?"

A cold male voice silenced Lining's roar.

Finally, Li Ning stopped roaring, and the entire Wuwang Ruins returned to calm. The Evil Lord quickly sank into the blood pool and began to heal his injuries.

After being warned, Li Ning could only begin to refine the wisp of soul lightning. Fortunately, the soul lightning was not aimed at him, otherwise it would have been more troublesome. However, when he thought of the female cultivator from the spirit world who had injected the soul lightning into his body, he was so angry that he went crazy. He endured it for a long time before he calmed down.

As Yunxi had predicted, the ancient battlefield remained quiet for a while. After Yunxi's spiritual power fully recovered, the passage reopened. This time, all that rushed out were evil creatures, and the Evil Lord did not appear, which disappointed Fengling somewhat.

So Yunxi and Lanyue rested in the Dharma House at the base and did not go to the front line. In Fengling's words, there was no need to give the evil cultivators too much face. If too many of us went, they would think that we were afraid. So, as long as the Evil Lord did not show up, Yunxi and Lanyue stayed behind and were ready to provide support at any time.

Yunxi brewed a pot of spiritual tea under the peach tree in the courtyard to entertain True Venerable Lanyue. Lanyue picked up the tea, took a sip, and praised it:

"The tea is clear and refreshing, with a hint of cedar. It's a good tea."

Yunxi also took a sip of the spiritual tea and responded with a smile:

"This is tea I made with snow lotus flowers. My master, Yu Ling, has a particular fondness for this flavor. I've gotten used to drinking it because of my master, and the only spiritual tea and wine I always carry with me are these. If True Venerable Lan Yue doesn't mind, I'll give you a pot of snow lotus wine to try. Although it won't improve your cultivation, it can help relax your mind."

Lan Yue said with a smile:

"Then I shall accept it without hesitation; spirit wine is also my favorite."

After exchanging some pleasantries, Lan Yue got to the point:
“I already know about Yin Yue’s visit to the Haoran Sect to see you. She acted somewhat rashly, and I apologize to you on her behalf.”

He then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Yunxi said nonchalantly:
"Fellow Daoist Lanyue, there's no need for that. She just has some petty thoughts, which are harmless. It's just that she's not qualified to mention them to me."

Lan Yue's eyes flashed and she said:

"If I were to have the honor of seeing the teleportation portal of Fellow Daoist Ranxi's contract?"

Yunxi had anticipated this, and without saying anything, she simply waved her sleeve and released the "Moon Gate".

The moment the "Moon Gate" appeared, Lan Yue flashed in front of it. Looking at the circular archway and the two crescent moons, one red and one blue, that had merged into one above the gate and were inlaid on the lintel, she could only sigh deeply as she felt the power of the spacetime laws emanating from the "gate".

Yunxi raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Lan Yue, if you wish to take back the Moon Gate from me, there are ways."

After hearing this, Lan Yue returned to the peach tree, sat down opposite Yun Xi, and said calmly:

"Appreciate further details."

Yunxi waved her sleeve to close the "Moon Gate," poured herself another cup of spiritual tea, and then said:

"It's very simple, there are two ways. One is for you and me to fight, and the winner will get ownership of this door. The other is for me to give you the door directly, but you have to save it for last. When the entire world ascends, you are responsible for destroying the passage constructed by the Wuwang Ruins, and then use this door to escape."

Upon hearing Ranxi's words, Lanyue felt dizzy and her vision blurred. In terms of combat strength alone, she believed she would not lose to Yunxi, but to defeat her, she would definitely have to pay a heavy price. After all, the person in front of her was someone who dared to fight against a celestial-level evil cultivator head-on, and was no pushover.

The second method involves her staying until the very end to destroy the spatial passage constructed by the evil god. She could do that, but she wasn't confident she could escape unscathed. A voice inside her told her that her chances of escaping after succeeding were very low.

Yunxi drank her spiritual tea without disturbing Lanyue's contemplation.

Aside from the "Key of Time," which she obtained from Min Yue of the Moon Gate, the "Key of Space," which she acquired after destroying the "Shadow Sect," and the "Gate," which she snatched back from the evil cultivators, these were all her fortuitous encounters. If she didn't let go, no one could take them from her, not even the patriarch of the Moon Gate.

Lan Yue sighed and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, I'm afraid I can't achieve any of what you've said."

Yunxi put down her teacup and said:

"Let's put aside our sparring for now. If you can complete the mission of destroying the passage, you will not only become a hero of the spirit world and earn merit, but you can also rightfully take back the 'Moon Gate'. Why not give it a shot?"

Lan Yue rested her chin on her hand and looked at Yun Xi. Seeing that the other woman was genuinely asking the question, she could only helplessly reply:

"What I have comprehended is the power of the law of time. With my current strength, I can only predict things that are related to myself. If I accept this mission, I will only die without a burial place."
