Chapter 1203 The Lotus Blooms

This person is the mastermind behind the Cangjuanlou. Because of the successive failures of He Yu and Cen Yin, Cangjuanlou was sealed off by the Central Immortal Realm, and he had to hide in the Ghost Realm. When he learned that Yun Xi had also come to the Ghost Realm, he had a bad feeling.

The owner of the courtyard was a ghost cultivator with a thick beard, whose strength was at the Nine Heavens Profound Ghost Realm. He tentatively asked:

"My lord, the Dark Night Lotus is about to bloom. Should we adjust our plans?"

The man frowned and said:
"The plan may change. My old nemesis has come to Youlian City and has probably already noticed something. I will arrange for someone to test the waters. If it is confirmed that there are no problems, then proceed according to the plan."

If anyone tries to stop you, remain in hiding and do not take any action for the time being. Await my orders.

"Yes, my lord."

The bearded man respectfully agreed.

Then, the man's deep blue eyes flashed, and he gave the order:
"The male immortal you hid in the manor is my pawn to test them. You must ensure that he is not exposed before the Dark Night Lotus blooms, and you must also help him stabilize his injuries. I will take care of the rest."

The man immediately and respectfully agreed, and then personally led the other party to see Luo Yiqing.

Five days later, the "Dark Lotus" pond in Youlian City will open at midnight, attracting immortals from all walks of life in the city to gather by the pond early in the morning, fearing that they will miss the opportunity to obtain the lotus.

After returning to the city lord's mansion, Di Fei had already spoken with City Lord You Lian. You Lian naturally cooperated fully, as no one wanted a spy from the evil immortal in the city they were in charge of.

So after receiving accurate information, he conspired with Yunxi and Difei for an hour, and the next day they began to secretly make arrangements, waiting for the evil immortal to take the bait.

Midnight is the liveliest time in the Ghost Realm. Besides the old ghosts with cultivation, some weaker ghost cultivators also come out to wander around. Especially tonight, when the Ghost Lotus is in bloom, there are even more people joining in the fun.

Yunxi, Difei, and Youlian remained hidden in mid-air, their divine senses constantly focused on the pool of dark night lotus below.

The Dark Lotus is different from ordinary lotus flowers; it is a lotus flower with a blackish-purple hue. Each Dark Lotus requires a massive amount of soul power to bloom, so high-grade Dark Lotuses are very rare and provide greater assistance to the soul. The Dark Lotus pond in Dark Lotus City is of the ninth grade, which is why it attracts even more people.

Luo Muqing and Luo Yushuang disguised themselves and blended into the crowd. They kept their eyes and ears open, searching for Luo Yiqing's whereabouts. The Bloodline Tracking Technique had previously indicated that Luo Yiqing was among the onlookers, so the two of them slowly approached their target.

Di Fei and You Lian were whispering, speculating on when the evil immortal would make his move. Yun Xi, meanwhile, frowned as she looked at the crowded people below. Her brow twitched, giving her a bad feeling. She turned to her and said:

"Lord of Youlian City, would it be convenient to activate the city's protective array when the Dark Lotus blooms?"

Yunxi's words startled Youlian, who then glanced at Difei beside her before asking:

"Immortal Lord Ranxi, have you noticed anything amiss?"

"Not yet, but I have a very bad feeling."

You Lian frowned slightly and said:

"This is just based on intuition. Even if I were the lord of a city, I couldn't do it. Once the city's protective formation is activated, it will alarm many people."

Di Fei asked seriously:
"Ranxi, are you feeling terrible?"

Yunxi nodded. She knew her request was somewhat unreasonable, as activating the city's protective array was no small matter. So, she compromised and said:
“Lord Youlian, I will take control of this area when the ‘Dark Night Lotus’ opens. I hope you will not interfere. I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong.”

"This"

Lord Youlian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ghost Lord Difei beside her.

Di Fei smiled reassuringly at You Lian and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee on behalf of Immortal Lord Ran Xi that she would never do anything to harm You Lian City."

The moment she finished speaking, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd below:
"Look! The lotus is blooming!"

"Yes! I didn't expect the Dark Night Lotus to open layer by layer. I feel my soul power has increased just by smelling its fragrance."

"Of course, this is a rare ninth-grade Nether Lotus, even the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm can use it."

"Quiet! The last one is about to bloom."

"Once all the Dark Night Lotuses in this pool have bloomed, they will automatically choose their masters."

"I hope my luck will be better. I'm not greedy; I'll be happy with just one."

"Nonsense, who wouldn't want one?"

As the crowd below surged, Yunxi flicked her sleeve and tossed out the main sphere of the Hong Energy Shield, which landed directly above the Youlian Pond, ready to activate the defensive shield at any moment.

Yunxi used her divine sense to search for Luo Yiqing's whereabouts. Just as she locked onto Luo Yiqing, all the Dark Night Lotuses bloomed, and one of them flew out of the lotus pond and landed in the hand of a female immortal at the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm.

The female immortal looked delighted and was about to put the lotus into the jade box when she saw a black dot wriggling in the center of the lotus. She paused subconsciously, and the next moment the black dot turned into a stream of light and entered the female immortal's brow.

This seemed to be a signal that something was about to happen. Countless black insects flew out from the remaining Dark Lotus hearts in the pool, transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the crowd.

The unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard. Only Yunxi activated the energy shield immediately, trapping the entire lotus pond and the surrounding immortals who were trying their luck, thus preventing the black beetles from swarming into the entire Youlian City.

You Lian's expression changed and she said:

"I'll go activate the city's protective array right away."

After saying that, he disappeared from mid-air.

Seeing more and more immortals falling victim to the attack, Di Fei prepared to make a move. Yun Xi took the lead and sent out the Tai Xu Tian Ice Flame, freezing all the immortals who had been possessed by the black beetles. However, the evil immortal she wanted to capture did not show up. But Luo Yiqing was exposed; he had already engaged in combat with Luo Muqing and Luo Yushuang.

However, the two were somewhat frustrated in their fight. Besides wanting to capture Luo Yiqing alive, they also had to guard against the black beetles flying around everywhere, fearing that these insects would crawl into their foreheads. They did not want to become puppets of the evil immortal.

Yunxi swept her divine sense across the area and sent the purple smoke down again. The moment the purple smoke descended, it transformed into countless purple sparks, burning the flying black beetles to ashes.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Yunxi and Difei brought the situation under control, calming down the still-shaken immortals.

Luo Yiqing was also captured, and he was severely injured. He was brought before Yun Xi by Luo Muqing and Luo Yushuang.

Luo Yiqing looked at Yun Xi with some resentment. In his view, Luo Yuemu was the one who directly ruined him, while Ran Xi was the instigator of everything. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he said:

"It's no use you capturing me; the entire Youlian City will be buried with me!"

Yun Xi glanced at the other person indifferently, then forcefully pierced their brow with her divine sense to begin searching their soul. After withdrawing her divine sense, she said to Di Fei beside her:

"Go quickly and support Lord Youlian!"

　See you tomorrow~ Goodnight~
