Chapter 1226 The Ceremony of Union
Yunxi's expression softened somewhat, but she still earnestly confirmed:

"Boss Pang, you're not trying to fool me, are you?"

Boss Pang immediately swore an oath before Yunxi would put the Eight Treasures Lotus Soul Hairpin back into Difei's hair.

In order to prevent Yunxi and the other girl from revealing his secret intentions, Boss Pang had no choice but to reluctantly give them an invitation to the ceremony from the City Lord's Mansion as compensation.

He learned from their previous conversation that Yunxi and her companion stayed in Shuiqian City to join in the fun and attend the city lord's daughter's marriage ceremony, but they didn't have an invitation.

Because their shop received an order from the City Lord's Mansion, they received two invitations. He had planned to use one to make connections at the City Lord's Mansion and then sell the other for Soul Stones. However, due to his quick tongue, he almost lost the business and nearly ruined his reputation, so he had no choice but to send out the invitations to settle the matter.

Yunxi was very satisfied with Boss Pang's pragmatism. After accepting the invitation, she "coaxed" her Daoist partner, and the two left the shop with smiles on their faces.

Upon returning to the secluded path, the proprietress greeted us with a smile:
"Did you two distinguished guests enjoy your visit today?"

Di Fei smiled charmingly, raised her hand to adjust the eight-treasure lotus hairpin in her hair, and said:

"Today, Brother Qing bought everything I wanted. My favorite is this Soul Hairpin. What do you think, shopkeeper?"

"Wow! This is a high-level soul weapon. Your partner has excellent taste. Fairy, you are so lucky."

The landlady naturally said whatever was nice to hear, making Di Fei laugh continuously. The smile on her face lasted until the restrictions on the residence were lifted.

Yunxi released her divine sense to sense the area and then frowned. She simply opened the energy shield to isolate the soul power in her residence before lazily sitting down.

Di Fei, standing to the side, also dropped her acting act. Their lavish spending of Soul Stones today was to explore the entire Water Thousand City, hoping to find traces of the array, and also to glean some information from the merchants.

Although these pieces of information seem trivial, when pieced together, they can give the two women a general understanding of Shui Qiancheng's current situation. The fact that they found everything to be normal after understanding the situation is why their expressions are so serious, which clearly indicates that something is wrong.

Di Fei asked directly:

"Ranxi, is there something wrong with the Thousand Princess Ghost King?"

Yunxi shook her head and said:
"She herself is not the problem, but her disciple Qian Sujin is probably the problem. I speculate that Qian Sidu is probably in the know. Qian Ji Ghost King may be restrained by these two, which is why he has been unable to take action against them for so long. But this is also what I can't figure out."

Di Fei pressed on, asking:
What's wrong with Qian Sujin?

"I don't know, but the Demon King Qianji wanted to kill her, but he had some reservations, so he didn't make a move."

"Hiss! Are you sure?"

“I’m certain. When you mentioned her junior to the Demon King Qianji today, there was murderous intent in her eyes. I’m not mistaken.”

Di Fei leaned back in her bamboo chair and began to ponder what could be causing the Thousand-Princess Ghost King to want to kill but be unable to do so. However, she had no clue, so she turned and asked:
"Did you notice anything after touring the entire Shuiqian City today?"

At this point, Yunxi's face darkened even more:

"I thought it was just a small-scale operation before, but after touring half of Water Thousand City today, I'm certain that the Evil Immortal is planning something big this time. If my deduction is correct, the entire city is just one round of the Nine-Round Sacrifice Array!"

Di Fei's expression changed drastically. She finally understood why Yun Xi had spent so many soul stones to attend the ceremony at the City Lord's Mansion. She then said in a deep voice:

"Ranxi, this matter is of utmost importance. If the city lord wanted to set up the entire Shuiqian City as a sacrificial formation, he couldn't possibly be unaware of it. In fact, it's very likely that the matter was carried out so smoothly because of his secret support. Otherwise, it would have been exposed long ago!"
In that case, Ghost King Qianji should also be aware of the situation. With her level of cultivation, she couldn't possibly not have noticed something amiss with Shui Qiancheng. Yet, not only did she return, she didn't report the anomalies here. Do you think she might…? Di Fei didn't finish her sentence, but Yunxi understood her meaning. She slowly shook her head and said:

“What we saw was a split soul of the Thousand Princess Demon King. The split soul is fine; there is not a trace of evil energy in her body. But this does not prove that her original body is also fine.”

Di Fei thought for a moment and said:
"If we want to know if there is a problem with the true form of the Thousand Princess Demon King, we must go to the inner perimeter of the Thousand Water Mountains."

Yunxi nodded, agreeing with Difei's suggestion, but she still said:

"Even if we want to go, we have to wait until Qian Sujin's marriage ceremony is over. We need to first determine if there are any problems with Qian Sidu, Qian Sujin, and her Daoist partner, and we also need to deal with the sacrificial array here before we can go to the Thousand Water Mountains."

Even if we can't completely solve the problem, we must stabilize the current situation and avoid creating more trouble.

After saying that, he rubbed his temples.

Di Fei also had a bit of a headache, but they had already received the invitations to enter the City Lord's Mansion, so there shouldn't be any problem attending the ceremony. Once they entered the City Lord's Mansion, they would have the opportunity to get close to the three of them. As for the sacrificial formation, they could only leave it to Ran Xi, who was knowledgeable about formations.

After sorting out what they needed to do next, the two began to meditate and cultivate.

Yunxi lavishly piled up a circle of top-grade immortal stones around herself, and Difei followed suit, piling up top-grade soul stones beside her. Then, the two closed their eyes and circulated their cultivation techniques without disturbing each other.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Yunxi took the energetic Difei out to scatter soul stones again. They did the same thing for five consecutive days until the day of the marriage ceremony. Only then did the two of them dress up and enter the city lord's mansion with their invitations to watch the ceremony.

Yunxi and Difei even prepared a generous gift, which made the steward of the city lord's mansion treat them even more politely. Although their seats were at the end, the maids of the city lord's mansion were very attentive, making the two of them feel at home.

The marriage ceremony began on time. Qian Sidu, dressed in a purple robe, smiled undisguisedly as he accepted everyone's congratulations. When Qian Sujin and Ye Yuchen descended from the sky and appeared before the guests, Yunxi's fingers holding the wine glass twitched.

Because Ye Yuchen was indeed the one she knew, and he was in a very bad state right now, clearly a puppet, cooperating with Qian Sujin to complete the marriage ceremony.

Using Li Li's innate skill, Yun Xi looked at Ye Yu Chen and discovered that his soul was struggling against a black dot within his body, clearly trying to expel it from his soul. However, his strength was insufficient, and the black dot instead penetrated deeper into his soul.

Seeing that Yun Xi's gaze remained fixed on Ye Yu Chen, Di Fei transmitted her voice:

"Is Ye Yuchen the person you mentioned before?"

Yunxi put down her wine glass and nodded.

"Is there something wrong with him?"

Yunxi nodded again, her face somewhat gloomy. She was quite certain that Ye Yuchen was being targeted again probably because of his "innate Dao body," otherwise such a coincidence would not have happened.

"So what should we do next?"

Yunxi lowered her eyes and touched the orchid jade pendant at her waist, saying coldly:

"No one will leave Shuiqian City!"
