Chapter 1202 Each with their own plans
After learning that Luo Yiqing had been poisoned by a substance called "Entanglement," Yunxi said to Difei, who was standing nearby:
"On my way to the Central Immortal City, I taught Luo Yuemu the Poison Scripture. She is very talented in this area. I didn't expect that she could already independently refine 'Entanglement'. If what she said is true, then Luo Yiqing's purpose in coming to Youlian City after being poisoned is very clear."

Di Fei's eyes flickered, and she uttered four words:

"Dark Lotus in the Night".

Yunxi nodded and said:
"Yes, there is no antidote for 'Entanglement'. If we want to eradicate Luo Yiqing, we must sever his soul. The Dark Night Lotus should be able to repair his soul, at least allowing him to last a little longer."

Luo Muqing and Luo Yushuang exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. After carefully choosing her words, Luo Yushuang spoke:

"Immortal Lord Ranxi, Luo Yiqing has fallen into evil ways. What if he abandons his poisoned body and takes on a different one?"

After hearing this, Yunxi took a sip of the soul tea and asked with a smile:
"How did you manage to chase us all the way to Youlian City?"

Luo Muqing replied:
"We tracked them all the way here using the Luo family's bloodline tracking method."

Yunxi continued to ask:
"How long did it take?"

"One year."

Yunxi nodded knowingly and said:
"A year is enough time for Luo Yiqing to realize he's been poisoned. If you were poisoned, what would you do?"

This time, it was Luo Yushuang's turn to answer:

"Take an antidote pill to prevent the poison from spreading in your body, and then find an antidote."

Yunxi nodded, put down her teacup, and said:

"He must have tried to detoxify, and even managed to control the spread of the poison at one point, which is why he didn't choose to give up his current body. But as time goes on, he will find that there is no cure at all."

Moreover, even if he abandons his current physical body, or even successfully possesses another body, he cannot completely eliminate the 'entanglement', because this poison targets the soul.

"Because of your relentless pursuit, it's been difficult for him to find a suitable target for possession. Given Luo Yiqing's personality, even if he were to possess someone, he would choose someone with excellent spiritual roots, aptitude, and appearance—things that cannot be done in a short time. That's why you were able to use your bloodline tracking technique to track him here."

After hearing Yunxi's explanation, Luo Muqing and Luo Yushuang both gasped. They finally understood why this poison was named "Entanglement"—because it was truly difficult to deal with.

After hearing that the two understood the key point, Yunxi continued:
"If he wants to completely eliminate this poison, he can only force the poison in his soul to one place and then ruthlessly sever his soul. Otherwise, no matter how many bodies he changes, it will be useless."

When I was stationed at the ancient battlefield, I contributed the formula for "Entanglement" to deal with those insects. A poison master adjusted the formula to specifically target the insect race, naming it "Entanglement," meaning a tender, lingering bond that lasts until death.

Upon hearing this, Di Fei opened her cherry-like mouth, and the way she looked at Yun Xi changed:
"Ranxi, I really didn't realize you were using poison!"

Yunxi said casually:
"This is part of the inheritance I obtained from the 'Medical Immortal Sect.' I rarely use it, and even when I do, it's only on evil cultivators. Remember to keep it a secret for me."

Di Fei immediately nodded in agreement. This poison was clearly the nemesis of ghost cultivators. She felt it was best to maintain a good friendship with Ran Xi, because shortly after receiving Ran Xi's message, she was summoned by the Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm.

The Ghost Emperor instructed her to accompany Ranxi on her journey through the Ghost Realm, awaiting the opening of the Langhuan Secret Realm. Before that, as long as Ranxi did not do anything to harm the Ghost Realm, she was to fully cooperate. After experiencing the Black Ze family incident, she seemed to understand the Ghost Emperor's intentions.

Therefore, she readily agreed to Yunxi's request to keep it a secret.

"Don't worry, this is your trump card, and I will keep it a secret for you."

After understanding Luo Yiqing's current situation, Luo Yushuang respectfully bowed to Yun Xi and said:
"Immortal Lord Ranxi, my cousin Mu Qing and I are ordered to capture Luo Yiqing. We will fully cooperate with you. Please give us your orders." Yunxi nodded.
"Alright, you two will keep watch by the 'Dark Night Lotus' pond for the next two days and see if you can find Luo Yiqing's whereabouts. He must have realized that he was being tracked by his family, so he concealed his bloodline aura. There must be someone here covering for him."

"Don't alert him. Just make sure he appears on the day the 'Dark Night Lotus' blooms. The rest will be handled by me and Ghost Lord Difei."

Luo Muqing and Luo Yushuang were delighted. With a Celestial Lord's intervention, their chances of success would be much greater, so they immediately agreed.
"Thank you for your help, Immortal Lord. We will change our appearance and keep watch by the Lotus Pond. We will notify the two Immortal Lords as soon as we find anything."

Yunxi waved her sleeve and gave the two of them a communication talisman, which Difei did as well, before speaking:

“I will instruct the teahouse owner to let you leave through the back door. You must remain inconspicuous for the time being so that we can lure out the people we are looking for.”

"Yes, thank you for your help, Ghost Lord Difei."

The two knew the principle that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. With the help of a Ghost Lord Realm expert in the Ghost Domain, their mission would be much smoother.

After Luo Muqing and Luo Yushuang left the "Wanzai Teahouse", Yunxi and Difei were still enjoying tea in the private room.

Di Fei's mind raced, and after finishing the soul tea in her cup, she tentatively spoke:

"Ranxi, do you know that there are evil immortals in Youlian City?"

Yunxi turned the teacup in her hand and said:

"I didn't know before, but after listening to what the Luo family disciples said, I have this guess. Otherwise, Luo Yiqing wouldn't have been able to hide so well."

His target is the 'Dark Night Lotus', and I think the evil immortal's target is also very likely the 'Dark Night Lotus'. This rare and precious material can repair the soul and is very helpful to the evil god.

Liao Ziqian was sealed into the Burial God Sea by the five Immortal Emperors, which gave him a way out, but also gave the Evil God the opportunity to refine the rest of his body. The Evil God's soul within him had not recovered to its peak state, and the Dark Night Lotus was probably prepared for the Evil God by his followers.

After listening to Yunxi's explanation, Difei's eyes darted around and she said:

"Ranxi, you not only want to capture Luo Yiqing, but you also want to lure out the evil immortal hiding in Youlian City."

"If it works."

"I understand. I will get Lord Youlian to cooperate with us."

After finishing their "Soul-Nourishing Tea," the two left the "Ten Thousand Years Tea House." Their enthusiasm remained undiminished, and they strolled along another street before leisurely returning to the City Lord's Mansion.

Meanwhile, Luo Yiqing, who was on everyone's mind, was suppressing the poison of "Entanglement" in an underground chamber in a courtyard.

He hadn't expected Luo Yuemu to have such a potent poison. By the time he realized something was wrong, the poison had already seeped into his nascent soul, constantly corrupting his spirit. He could only desperately suppress the poison and then follow the instructions to escape into the Ghost Realm.

However, due to his bloodline, the Luo family disciples kept chasing after him, forcing him to keep moving. Only after entering Youlian City did he manage to conceal his whereabouts with the help of the evil immortal.

Meanwhile, the owner of the courtyard where Luo Yiqing was staying was plotting with someone who had a pair of deep blue eyes.
