Chapter 1228 Baili Arrives Personally
Once Yunxi's identity was exposed, she knew she had been caught, so she stopped pretending and changed back to her true appearance. Difei, standing beside her, followed suit, removing her illusionary disguise and returning to her original form, explaining softly:

"My name is Di Fei. I was ordered by King Baili to detour through Shuiqian City. Because of what happened at Yunrongfang, Ranxi and I were targeted by the Evil Immortal. We disguised ourselves to avoid their eyes and ears. However, we did not expect to discover the Evil Immortal's deeper conspiracy when we arrived in Shuiqian City. We had no choice but to take this drastic measure. I hope King Qianji will not be angry."

Di Fei spoke with considerable confidence, mainly because the Thousand-Princess Ghost King had already fallen into Meng Lanjun's trap and her soul was currently quite weak. Most importantly, the Thousand-Princess Ghost King in front of her was a split soul, and the strength of a split soul was one level lower than that of the main soul. In other words, the current strength of the Thousand-Princess Ghost King was at the Ghost Lord realm. If she and Ran Xi joined forces, they would definitely have the power to fight her.

The Thousand-Princess Ghost King's light green eyes swept over the two of them, finally settling on Ye Yuchen, whose soul was separated from his body. The purple flames surrounding his soul were reflected deep within her eyes. She gently exhaled and said:
"Although all the immortals in Shuiqian City are currently in a deep sleep, this state shouldn't last long. Moreover, such a major change will definitely attract attention. What do you plan to do next?"

Yunxi could tell that Qianji Ghost King meant by saying this that he tacitly approved of their actions and would cooperate with them.

Di Fei and Yun Xi exchanged a glance. Di Fei nodded to Yun Xi, indicating that she had called for backup when the Thousand-Princess Ghost King appeared. Yun Xi, knowing that her backup was coming, then looked at the Thousand-Princess Ghost King.
"Lady Qianji, Difei and I cannot solve the predicament of your true form, but we believe that Baili Guiwang can help you. Only when you are not controlled by others can we act freely. Otherwise, once we take action, the first enemy we will face will probably be you."

The Thousand-Person Ghost King chuckled self-deprecatingly, surprised that a celestial being from another realm would care about her safety. A look of relief appeared on her face as she said calmly:
"No wonder the Ghost Emperor was willing to pay such a high price to bring you to the Ghost Realm. You really are the one who broke the deadlock."

The words seemed to come out of nowhere, but Yunxi roughly understood their meaning, because she had always been the "variable." Difei, standing to the side, seemed thoughtful, but the words connected certain things, and a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.

Ye Yuchen sensed that the previously trembling evil insects had calmed down and were now stirring again, so he could only speak:

"Senior Ranxi."

Although Yunxi was confronting the Thousand-Person Ghost King, her divine sense covered the entire Water Thousand City. She naturally understood Ye Yuchen's condition, so with a wave of her sleeve, she released a ten-thousand-year-old ice coffin, directly sealing the other party's physical body into the ice coffin and sending him into the space.

Then he looked at Ye Yuchen and said:
"Yu Chen, if the evil worm is not eliminated, even if your soul returns to your body, it will eventually become a puppet of the evil immortal. But now is not the right time to remove the evil worm from your soul. I will freeze your soul first, and then eliminate the worm when the time is right. Are you willing?"

Ye Yuchen nodded without even thinking:

"I will listen to you. If I cannot get rid of that worm, I am willing to perish with it and never become a puppet of the evil immortal. At that time, please destroy my physical body as well, Senior Ranxi. I will leave a letter to explain everything to my sister."

Yunxi sighed helplessly, and as she flicked out a Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame, she said:
"Live well, and take revenge for yourself!"

When the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame appeared, Di Fei subconsciously took half a step back, and Ye Yuchen's soul was instantly frozen and taken into the Soul-Gathering Mirror by Yun Xi.

Qianji Ghost King looked at the Soul-Gathering Mirror in Yunxi's hand, her eyes darkening further. She hadn't expected Yunxi to possess a soul artifact from the Underworld.

At this moment, spatial fluctuations occurred in the room, and the next instant, Baili Yanque appeared in front of the three.

Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes lit up. This time, Baili Yanque's aura was more powerful than ever before, making the hairs on her body stand on end. An invisible pressure enveloped her, making her deeply feel the oppressive feeling brought by the Ghost King Realm. She immediately bowed respectfully.

Baili Yanque nodded to Yunxi and Difei, then looked at Qianji Ghost King, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"Senhime, how did you end up in such a state? Was it because you were schemed against by a descendant from who knows how many generations ago?"

The Demon King Qianji was somewhat annoyed, but she knew this wasn't the time to argue. She closed her eyes to suppress her embarrassment and anger before speaking:

"They set up their insect nests inside the Thousand Water Mountains. To prevent the larvae from leaving the mountains, I used myself as a boundary to temporarily confine them to the center of the mountains. Once the Golden Cup and Silver Cup flowers bloom, the larvae will grow up and fly out of the Thousand Water Mountains."

Baili Yanque said unhappily:

"Why didn't you contact me sooner?" This time, the Thousand-Princess Ghost King didn't answer. Her light green eyes simply stared indifferently at Baili Yanque. He snorted coldly and didn't press further. He turned to Yunxi and Difei and said:

"I'll leave Shui Qiancheng to you. Qianji and I will go and resolve the issues within the Qianshui Mountains."

"Yes."

The two agreed in unison, and when they looked up again, both ghost kings had vanished.

Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said to Difei beside her:

"There's a story between the two Ghost Kings!"

Di Fei rolled her eyes at Yun Xi and said:

"You dare to laugh at the Ghost King's joke? Aren't you afraid of being killed to silence you?!"

Yunxi said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry, I still have value, and I won't be silenced anytime soon."

Di Fei was speechless, then her expression turned serious as she asked:

"How should we deal with the immortals in the city? And what about the formation you mentioned?"

Yunxi touched the orchid-shaped jade pendant at her waist and said:
"Kill all those who are used by evil immortals or are already their puppets. Menglanjun will cooperate with you. He can tell whether these immortals have betrayed the Ghost Realm. Leave the formation to me."

Di Fei naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement. At the same time, Meng Lanjun, disguised as an orchid jade pendant, transformed into human form, holding a folding fan and smilingly cupping her hands towards Di Fei.

"I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration!"

This was also the first time Di Fei had seen Yun Xi's cheat ability. Especially the faint, elegant orchid fragrance emanating from her, she understood why Yun Xi was confident in trapping all the immortals in Shui Qian City.

Yunxi was the first to leave the city lord's mansion. Her first stop was the outer city wall of Shuiqian City. She didn't intend to destroy the array patterns on the city wall, but rather to modify them.

She had been thinking about how to prevent the evil immortal from discovering that the formation had been modified, while also ensuring that the sacrificial formation would have the opposite effect after it was activated. She wanted to cripple the evil immortal's sacrificial ritual with minimal cost.

Di Fei, left inside the city lord's mansion, looked at Meng Lanjun, whose beauty was so striking it was hard to tell if she was male or female, and asked with a delicate smile:
"Lan Jun, where should we begin?"

Menglan pointed with her folding fan at Qian Sujin, who was lying on the ground and about to wake up, and said:

"Let's start with her!"
