Chapter 1158 Central Immortal City 1
After absorbing He Yu's soul power, the black beetle grew from the size of a fingernail to the size of a thumb and charged into Yun Xi's sea of ​​consciousness with a clear goal. Unfortunately, it was frozen the moment it got close. The black beetle continued to fall while vibrating its wings, but Yun Xi caught it steadily.

Yunxi's hands were covered with a layer of Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame. She held the frozen black beetle and examined it for a while before throwing it into the jade box. She then casually applied a sealing talisman and put it into a separate storage bag.

Because of the rapid freezing, Taixu, following Yunxi's instructions, did not burn the black beetle to death, so the frozen insect was still alive. She planned to give it to Immortal King Yitu after she went to the Central Immortal Realm.

Menglan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the black beetle had failed, but she still said with lingering fear:

"This thing is too fast. If you weren't prepared, it would be easy to fall for it. That's how the immortals who were wiped out in Wanzhang Valley were killed."

Yunxi nodded and said:
“You’re right. These insects are very clever. Once they’ve determined that their host is no longer of any value, they will quickly detach themselves after absorbing all their power. As long as there are other living things around, they can parasitize again. It’s really hard to guard against them.”

Meng Lanjun tightened his grip on the folding fan. Having cultivated from immortal plants into human form, he was even more afraid of these insects; it was his instinct. Therefore, he earnestly said to Yun Xi:
"Ranxi, can the storage ring you made for me have an added defensive function? It should be able to protect against these kinds of insects. You know my combat strength. If I can't strike first, I'll be at a disadvantage."

Yunxi smiled slightly and said:

"I understand, I'll try my best to arrange it for you."

This isn't a particularly difficult requirement, but the refining materials need to be readjusted, since they have to withstand the defensive divine runes she inscribed; ordinary space stones probably couldn't withstand that.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Meng Lanjun immediately smiled faintly before standing up and saying:
“I will go and tell Luo San and Luo Liu that the trouble has been eliminated.”

Yunxi nodded, took He Yu's storage equipment, and flicked out purple smoke to completely destroy the evidence.

Perhaps because Yunxi decisively killed He Yu, their last leg of the journey went surprisingly smoothly, and no one with ulterior motives approached them again.

Moreover, as the Luo family's immortal ship drew closer to the Central Immortal City, the number of various immortal ships in the sky also increased. There were immortal ships from cultivation sects, immortal families, and small immortal ships. Commercial immortal ships accounted for a quarter of them, and they were mainly used by rogue immortals and some immortals who came to the Central Immortal City to watch the Five Regions Grand Competition.

Of course, there are also some small families and sects that do not have their own immortal ships and are unwilling to spend a lot of immortal stones to rent them, so they choose to take commercial immortal ships, which are both safe and save immortal stones.

Like other immortal ships, the Luo family's immortal ship landed ten kilometers away from the central immortal city. The Luo family disciples disembarked, and Elder Luo the Third stowed away the immortal ship. For the rest of the journey, they could choose to walk or ride in an immortal beast carriage. Some impatient ones even tore through the void and left.

The Luo family didn't want to be too high-profile, so they chose to walk there. It wasn't far anyway, and they might run into acquaintances along the way and exchange news about the competition. However, the Luo family disciples discovered that the injured city guard who had boarded their immortal ship earlier was missing.

However, they noticed that the three elders looked very calm, as if they hadn't even noticed that the person was missing. Luo Yizhi and Luo Yuechu exchanged a glance, understood each other's meaning, and immediately sent a telepathic message to their younger cousins, telling them to keep their mouths shut and not to reveal this matter to anyone, not even among themselves.

The Luo family disciples were no longer novices; they naturally knew what was important and what was urgent, so they all calmly nodded in agreement and quickened their pace.

Luo San and Luo Liu naturally noticed the subtle interactions between their juniors and were quite satisfied with their behavior.

Yunxi had only been gone a short while when someone approached to greet the two elders of the Luo family. However, the person's gaze lingered on Yunxi and Meng Lanjun, clearly showing more interest in the two. A figure appeared before Yunxi, smiling broadly, and said:
"I knew you'd come to the Central Immortal Realm to join the fun. Huh? Looks like you won't have a chance to step onto the arena this time."

After recognizing the person who had arrived, Yunxi happily returned the greeting:

"Ranxi greets Ancestor Haoran."

The newcomer was none other than the founder of the Haoran Sect, the Haoran Ancestor. At this moment, his cultivation was at the initial stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he had clearly just broken through not long ago. Yet, he looked even younger than when the two parted, appearing to be an eighteen-year-old boy.

Grandmaster Haoran waved his hand and said:

"Don't call me Ancestor anymore. My cultivation is not as good as yours now. Just call me Haoran."

Yunxi could tell that Ancestor Haoran didn't care about a title at all, so she smiled and nodded. Then she introduced Menglanjun to him. Yunchen didn't need an introduction, as they were already acquaintances. After exchanging greetings, Menglanjun naturally gave up her seat to Haoran so that the two could catch up.

Yunxi created a soundproof barrier around the two of them before speaking:
"Ancestor, did you all have a smooth journey back to Wan Tu Immortal City after leaving the Wanqi family's mines? Were you not given any trouble by the Jin family or the Wanqi family?"

They initially chose to mine to repay the damage they caused to the Immortal Transformation Pool, but they never expected to be tricked by the immortal official surnamed Si. Taking advantage of their ignorance after their recent ascension, he actually sold them to the Jin family's mine. Most importantly, the mine belonged to the Wanqi family of Wanhao Immortal City, and they were illegally mining.

Yunxi, together with her ancestor, Haoyan, Haohui, and Mingjia, Minghong, Shijun, and Tianyun of the Lingjian Sect, took advantage of the Wanqi family's attack to escape the fate of being buried in the immortal mine and successfully returned to Wantu Immortal City.

She secretly profited by having the fairy spirit absorb the entire mine, earning her her first cultivation resources and allowing her to survive in the Wanqi family for ten years.

Haoran certainly remembered what happened when he first entered the Immortal Realm, especially how Ranxi stayed at the Wanqi family as a witness to testify against the Jin family so that they could leave smoothly. The scene was still vivid in his mind, so he answered Yunxi's question:
"Back then, we had just ascended to immortality, and the Wanqi family didn't take us seriously. They sent us to Wantu Immortal City and then left."

However, after a few of us met, we felt that staying in Wan Tu Immortal City was not safe. What if the Wan Si family broke the contract and tried to use us to their advantage?

I know you value loyalty, especially since we old guys all ascended to the Weiyu Realm with you. If Wanqi family uses us to threaten you, you will definitely give in.

So we didn't stay in Wantu Immortal City for the full three years. After exchanging some things in the city, we left Wantu Immortal City one after another.

Furthermore, we agreed that we would not contact each other proactively for at least 30 to 50 years, and we also agreed on a code word. If we contacted each other without using the code word, it was very likely that we had been controlled, and we would leave the location as quickly as possible to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy.

Fortunately, the Central Immortal Realm is large enough that we can find a mountain range to hide in, where we can train, gather immortal plants, and hunt immortal beasts. The gains from our training can be exchanged for cultivation resources, allowing us to quickly adapt to the cultivation environment of the Immortal Realm.”
