Chapter 847 New Discovery
"I arrived just in time after hearing the commotion, which helped Zang Feng control the mad Ni Chang. However, she has been controlled by evil energy for a long time, and her body is severely corrupted. I am afraid that she is in grave danger. Zang Feng chose to spare her life, hoping to find out how she was controlled when she regains consciousness."

Yunxi briefly explained the situation at the time.

This made Canglou's expression even more unpleasant. The opponent's clear intention was to manipulate Ni Chang to confront Cang Feng, obviously aiming to kill high-level cultivators who entered the ancient battlefield. This time it was Cang Feng, but who knows who it will be next time? So Canglou continued to ask:
"Does this only happen to cultivators from the Ghost Realm?"

Yunxi did not hide anything and said in a deep voice:

"Before I led my team to provide support, a similar incident occurred at the Demon Realm's base, but the Demon King Xiongwei intervened in time, preventing further damage."

Canglou nodded in agreement, then turned his gaze to the jade bottle sealed by Yunxi, gesturing for Yunxi to break the seal.

Yunxi made a hand seal to break the seal, and then that wisp of evil energy shot out of the jade bottle, heading straight for the True Venerable of the Hidden Pavilion.

A cold smile appeared on the lips of the Venerable Zanglou. He simply touched the ground with his cane, and an invisible, transparent light shield trapped the evil energy within it.

The evil energy was unwilling to give up and tentatively tried to break through the light barrier, its target still clearly aimed at the True Venerable of the Hidden Pavilion.

Yunxi watched as the evil energy threads repeatedly tried to crash into the light barrier, and said calmly:

"True Venerable One, this thing is really interesting. With both of us present, it actually chose to approach you but abandoned me. It looks down on me!"

Zanglou Zhenzun was examining the evil energy strands inch by inch with his divine sense, and after a long while, he finally spoke:

"I am a ghost cultivator, and I cultivate the soul. Even if I cultivate to the Mahayana stage, I still do not have a physical body. Once evil energy enters the soul, it is very difficult to eradicate, just like Ni Chang."

"But you are different. You not only have a physical body to protect your soul, but you also possess a lightning spiritual root. Even if this thing enters your body, you can expel it, or even use your own lightning spiritual power to strangle it."

Yunxi immediately nodded in agreement:
"I see. So, how should we deal with this wisp of evil energy?"

Zanglou Zhenzun said calmly:
"This evil energy is not just evil energy, but an insect, which is why it is so intelligent."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's eyes widened. She had used her divine sense to examine this wisp of evil energy; it was clearly just a wisp of energy, so how could it have turned into an insect?
"True Venerable One, how did it turn into an insect? I clearly used my divine sense to examine it when I trapped it before."

Yunxi's remaining words disappeared in her subconsciously extended divine sense, because she also discovered that it was indeed a worm, and a worm similar to a horsehair worm, as thin as a hair and its whole body was wrapped in evil energy.

“Your Excellency, it was my oversight that I almost missed an important clue.”

Yunxi realized her mistake and immediately bowed, admitting that it was her fault.

"No, it's not that you overlooked this thing, but that they are good at disguising themselves. Before you sealed them, they were nurtured in evil energy, their whole bodies were filled with evil energy, and their bodies also stored evil energy, so they were easy to overlook. After you sealed them, you had to consume the evil energy in your body to disguise yourself, which is why you revealed your true colors."

Yunxi understood what Canglou meant, but her gaze remained fixed on the evil insect, and she said:

"True Venerable One, when did they ally with the Zerg?"

She learned about the Zerg from the records in the Medical Immortal Sect's library. After ascending to the Spirit Realm, she had read about the Zerg in a jade slip. However, this greedy race had disappeared from the Spirit Realm long ago, but unexpectedly, it appeared on the ancient battlefield.

Zanglou shook his head and said:
"It may not be a union, but rather some kind of exchange, where both sides get what they need."

The Void of Nothingness has been sealed for so long; the chances of the Zerg surviving inside are slim. If the two sides were allied, they would have resurrected the evil god long ago, instead of resorting to such a roundabout method to achieve their goal.

Yunxi believed the situation on the ancient battlefield was far from optimistic. She worried that some cultivators might have become hosts for the evil energy insects, which was certainly not a good thing. Canglou stood up and said:
“You and I will return to the temporary city together. First, tell Master Ruohuai about your discovery.”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Yunxi readily agreed, then resealed the evil insect into the jade bottle. She casually sent a message talisman to Cao Yi before being swept away from the main tent by Canglou.

A moment later, Canglou and Yunxi appeared before Master Ruohuai.

After sensing a fluctuation of energy, Master Ruohuai suddenly opened his eyes. Upon seeing that it was Canglou, he immediately spoke:

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Canglou, why have you returned? Has the situation at the front changed?"

"Master, please don't worry. Because Ranxi's reinforcements arrived in time, the battle is over. However, due to new discoveries, I brought Ranxi directly to see you."

Ranxi stepped forward to pay her respects, then shared her findings and reopened the jade bottle for Master Ruohuai to examine.

After Master Ruohuai saw it, he casually flicked out a ball of Buddhist light to envelop the evil insect. The evil insect was instantly melted by the Buddhist power and turned into a wisp of white smoke that dissipated into the air.

"Amitabha! These insects must be transformed from evil cultivators. They have a strong reproductive ability, which is why the insect race was so difficult to eradicate back then. Fortunately, these are the lowest-level nematodes, which the Spirit Realm can deal with with its current strength."

The evil cultivators are doing this to break through our defenses as quickly as possible. As long as we don't notice the special nature of the evil energy worms, they can use them to control the cultivators in the spirit realm, causing us to kill each other, so they can reap the benefits.

After hearing this, Yunxi only wanted to kill these evil cultivators. She hated soft-bodied animals the most, especially wriggling insects. Just thinking about them made her scalp tingle. She decided that she would always keep her protective aura activated to avoid being targeted by the evil insects.

Yunxi suddenly looked up and said:
"Two True Venerables, some cultivators who have lost their minds have appeared in both the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm. They are most likely controlled by the Evil Qi Insects."

I want to force the evil worms out of their bodies, and also have Cao Yi research how to locate them, so we won't be hampered when fighting the evil cultivators.

Canglou waved his hand and said:
"Ranxi, we need you here. The battlefield is the best place to spread the evil insects, and your strange fire and spiritual root can restrain them. You'd better help Master Ruohuai sort out the temporary city first, so that some cultivators don't fall for it without realizing it."

The rest can be left to the array masters at the base; I'm sure they can find a solution.

"Yes."

Yunxi knew that she couldn't leave easily after accepting the mission, so she returned to her temporary residence first.

Ruohuai and Canglou also transmitted the new methods of evil cultivators back to the rear base, and asked the three True Venerables to help each other to thoroughly investigate the base and prevent incidents like Ni Chang's from happening again.

heretical sect's stronghold
“Evil Lord, the other side hasn’t noticed anything unusual yet. I think we can proceed with the next step of our plan.”

The Evil Lord leaned back in his black chair and asked casually:

"Is everything ready?"

"Everything is prepared, and we will definitely not let the cultivators of the Spirit Realm find out."

"Okay, let's take action tomorrow."

See you tomorrow~ Goodnight~
