Chapter 1209 A Plan to Turn the Tide 2
The next day, Yunxi closed the magic house and joined up with Difei and Lin'an. They continued their journey towards the Shattered Soul Valley. As they got closer to the valley, they encountered more and more immortals, but most of them were ghost immortals.

Yunxi and Difei moved forward at their own pace, quickening their pace when they were happy and slowing down like snails when they were unhappy, saying they couldn't withstand the strong winds. Even so, the three from Lin'an showed no impatience whatsoever.

They even found a plausible excuse for the two of them:

“Two fairies, this is your first time in Shattered Soul Valley, so it’s perfectly normal to feel this way. In addition, given the limitations of your cultivation, your adaptation process will definitely take longer than ours.”

Little White Flower Di Fei immediately showed a slightly apologetic expression and said:
"Thank you all for your consideration. We are the ones who have slowed down the team's progress."

Lin'an waved his hand and said:

"These are minor matters, you don't need to take them to heart. Since we've teamed up, we need to accommodate each other, otherwise there's no point in forming a team."

While her words sounded quite dignified, Kong Zhi couldn't help but roll her eyes in private, a gesture that was precisely caught by Di Fei and Yun Xi's divine senses.

That evening, when they stopped to rest, the two went into the magic room as usual. This time, Di Fei took the initiative to say:
"Ranxi, I'll keep an eye on them tonight. I want to see what they're up to. We've gone to such lengths, and these people still haven't given up on teaming up with us. Nobody would believe they have no ulterior motives."

Yunxi smiled, thinking to herself, "Aren't you a ghost yourself?" But she said aloud:

"Okay, thank you for keeping an eye on things. I'll take over tomorrow night."

After saying that, he went to meditate.

Nothing happened that night. When Yunxi walked out of the cultivation room, she saw Difei with a sullen face. The ghostly aura around Difei could no longer be suppressed, and it was obvious that she was on the verge of losing her temper.

Yunxi raised an eyebrow, then swiftly sat down opposite Difei and asked:
"What did you find? Why are you so angry first thing in the morning?"

Seeing Yun Xi emerge, Di Fei finally suppressed her fierce aura and sneered, saying:

"These three are really cunning. They're not just eyeing our storage rings, but also us."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi immediately became interested:
"Difei, is that what I meant?"

Di Fei nodded seriously and said:

"Yes, my soul and your body are both targets for them to exchange for cultivation resources."

"Tsk tsk, aren't they just human traffickers as ordinary people talk about?"

Seeing that Yun Xi wasn't angry at all, Di Fei's anger subsided, and she said with a mocking expression:

"With their meager cultivation level, they want to sell us for cultivation resources? I wonder who will be the one selling whom in the end."

Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and casually asked:
"Difei, does this kind of thing happen often in the Ghost Realm?"

Di Fei waved her hand and said:
"Even a proper ghost cultivator wouldn't use such a despicable method of advancement."

Yunxi continued:
"But who knows if someone might want to take a shortcut! Devouring soul power can improve a ghost cultivator's cultivation, but what's the point of having a physical body? To possess someone else?"

After listening, Di Fei also began to ponder:

"Perhaps! But if you go down the path of ghost cultivation and then try to possess another body, you'll have to start all over again."

Yunxi stroked the small white jade hammer at her waist, lost in thought. Her thoughts wandered, and after a moment, she paused, her hand still stroking the hammer, and suddenly said:

"Difei, what if—I mean, what if the ones trading with them are evil immortals? Our divine souls are the best nourishment for evil souls, and my physical body can regenerate evil souls. Moreover, by using our identities, we can help evil immortals integrate into the immortal realm more easily. I suppose the reason they've targeted us is not only because our outward cultivation level is lower than theirs, making it easier for them to control us, but also because I'm an immortal from the Central Domain. Even if something happens in Shattered Soul Valley, no one will notice for a while."

Moreover, these are things done by native cultivators of the Ghost Realm. Even if they investigate, they won't be able to trace it back to the Evil Immortal, so it won't attract much attention. As long as they do it discreetly enough, they won't stop once they get a taste of success.

In this way, evil immortals will be continuously exonerated and then continue to lie low.

The more Yunxi talked, the more she realized it made sense.

But Di Fei, listening from the side, was terrified. If Ran Xi's guess was true, then the Ghost Realm would face a new round of bloodshed. She had a headache, so she raised her hand to rub her temples before saying:

"Ranxi, these are just your speculations, and cannot be confirmed at the moment."

After hearing this, Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and said:

"Isn't it easy to prove? Let's play along and see where they'll sell us off to, and who the final buyer will be. Once we meet the real deal, everything will be clear, won't it?"

If it's an evil immortal, then what's there to say? Just attack. If my guess is wrong, anyone who takes such a shortcut isn't a good person. Let's turn the world upside down, at least vent our anger, and maybe even tear a piece of flesh off him while we're at it. How about that?"

Di Fei was somewhat speechless, feeling that half of Ran Xi's so-called "nemesis of evil immortals" title was something she had actively sought out. However, she was also somewhat tempted by this suggestion.

Seeing that Di Fei did not strongly object, Yun Xi took the "soul-binding silk" given to her by the proprietress of "Yanlongsha" off her hair:

"It looks like they'll be selling us separately. To make it easier to provide support, let's tie the Soul-Binding Threads on first."

Di Fei, with a face full of black lines, said:
"This is something that ghost cultivators use when forming couples."

Yunxi said nonchalantly:
"The names are different, but the purpose is the same: to prevent people from getting separated. After tying the 'soul-binding thread' on you, I can rush to your aid immediately if you encounter danger. I think it's very practical."

Di Fei's lips twitched, but she felt convinced and tied the pinkish-golden thread around her wrist.

The moment the red light flashed, the two could sense each other. The next moment, the "Soul-Tethering Silk" disappeared. Di Fei explained that it had merged into their souls and would not appear unless activated.

Yunxi also sensed a connection with Difei, especially the other's eagerness. It seemed that Difei was also very interested in the plan she proposed.

Now that they were prepared, the two continued to act with the three from Lin'an, dragging on for ten days before finally arriving at the entrance of "Shattered Soul Valley." There were many immortals who had set up camp here, all using this dangerous place to temper their souls.

Di Fei, her face pale, said:

“Brother Lin’an, our cultivation levels are a bit low, and we’re still not quite used to it. We’d like to rest for a couple of days before officially entering the valley. If the three of you can’t wait, you can enter the valley first to temper your souls. Don’t let us delay your time.”

Lin'an felt that since they had already taken ninety-nine steps, a day or two wouldn't make a difference, so he simply said:

"We are a whole, so we should advance and retreat together. Besides, you don't want to be targeted by people with ulterior motives, do you? We will officially enter the valley in two days."

Di Fei immediately smiled with relief and cupped her hands in greeting:

"That would be perfect, thank you all."

After saying that, he and Yunxi entered the prepared magic room.

Kunshan's eyelids twitched as he watched the restrictions fall on the magic house, but he said nothing and turned to enter the tent.
