Chapter 1244 Bold Guesses
"Send me and Chanjia away from Luming City without alerting the evil immortal who is secretly watching us. Don't make excuses that you can't do it; I know you can."
Yunxi smiled slightly upon hearing this; she could indeed do it, so she asked:
Where do you want to go?
"Xinghai City."
Yunxi shook her head and said:
“I haven’t been to this city before, so I can’t locate it. I can send you to Shuiqian City first, which should be relatively safe now. You and Chanjia can take the teleportation array from Shuiqian City to Xinghai City, how about that?”
Xiao Shu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying:
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
Half an hour later, Xiao Shu and Chan Jia were ready. Yun Xi waved her sleeve to open the moon gate and sent the two inside. After confirming that the two had arrived at Shui Qian City safely, she closed the moon gate.
Next, Yunxi and Difei took over the Wenshige shop as their temporary residence and stayed inside to rest instead of wandering around.
After they had some free time, Difei and Yunxi talked about the "Nine-Round Sacrifice Formation" while playing chess:
"Ranxi, why do you think the evil god is so fixated on the scourge of the Ghost Realm? He not only lured the evil insects into the Ghost Realm, but also set up a sacrificial array there. How can he be so sure he will succeed?"
Yunxi placed a white piece before replying:
"Because the evil god's soul has been repeatedly damaged over the past thousand years, at least most of his soul threads have been strangled. If his soul cannot be fully repaired, even if his body is unsealed, he will not be able to regain control of his body. That's why he has set his sights on the ghost realm immortals who cultivate soul power."
Di Fei held the black piece in her hand without making a move. After listening to Yun Xi's analysis, she angrily crushed the piece to pieces and said coldly:
"Hmph! He's dreaming. He wants us to be his stepping stones to resurrection? No way! If the evil god's soul threads ever reappear in the world again, I will do everything in my power to crush him."
Yunxi nodded and said:
"Don't worry, you've already made your stance clear in the battle at the Sea of Burial Gods, and the Evil God will definitely remember you. You'll have many more opportunities to face the Evil Immortal in the future, so just treat it as practice."
"You're right, I won't let the evil god succeed!"
Di Fei nodded seriously, then immediately changed the subject:
"What is the evil immortal's purpose in entering the Langhuan Secret Realm this time? Could it also be for the divine artifact?"
"It's hard to say, what if? Besides, you forgot, the most famous thing in the Langhuan Secret Realm is the Soul Weapon. Maybe that's their real target. The Divine Artifact might just be a distraction for everyone who enters the Secret Realm."
Di Fei paused as she placed the black piece down, something flashing through her mind. Then, her eyes lit up as she said:
"Ranxi, what if—I mean, what if this artifact is from an evil god?"
After hearing this, Yunxi also began to consider this possibility. Then she found that Difei's speculation was somewhat reasonable. There was a 50% chance that the artifact in the Langhuan Secret Realm was from an evil god.
Back in the Weiyu Realm, she destroyed the Dragon Fang that was sealed in the Mountain and River Scroll; its spirit was annihilated, and its blade was destroyed, so it no longer exists.
There was also an evil blade, which was split into two parts by the weapon-refining master Tang Jihan and thrown into a spacetime rift. The probability of it falling into the same small world is very low. As long as the evil blade does not reunite, its destructive power will be very limited, and it will not be found in a short time.
Of the three ancient evil artifacts, only one remains: the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade. Just from its name, one can tell how ferocious it is. It is a god-slaying weapon forged from the bones of a saint, so one can imagine how destructive and powerful it would be. Once it falls into the hands of an evil god, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing Yunxi deep in thought, clutching a chess piece, Difei didn't disturb her. She was also considering the probability of the possibility she had proposed, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. In the end, she sent her speculation to Baili Guiwang.
Meanwhile, Ranxi's consciousness had already entered the space, directly logged into the chat group, and called out to "Fairy Aura":
"Senior, are you there?"
Unfortunately, this time "Fairy" did not reply to her as usual. After waiting for a while without receiving a response, she contacted "Ox-Head and Horse-Face".
"Senior, I have something to ask you."
Ox-Head and Horse-Face did reply to her:
"What's the matter?"
"Senior, do you know the location of the Sacred Corpse Star-Slaying Blade, one of the three ancient evil artifacts?"
Why did you suddenly ask that?
"This evil weapon is very likely to appear in the immortal realm where I reside."
"Are you sure?" "I can't be sure for now. It's just a speculation. To prove whether my speculation is accurate, we'll have to wait until we enter the secret realm."
After a long silence, the other party replied:
"It is said that the great battle between good and evil ended with the defeat of the evil god. His body was separated and sealed, and his natal evil weapon was thrown into the lower realm and never retrieved."
At the time, some speculated that the evil god had integrated a wisp of his divine soul into his natal evil artifact and thrown it into the mortal realm to preserve the embers of his power and await the opportunity for resurrection.
If your speculation is correct, then you'd better seal this evil artifact or confine it in a secret realm, and prevent it from appearing in the world. Otherwise, if the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade returns to the evil god's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Seeing the big shot's reply, Yunxi could only smile bitterly. She didn't have that kind of ability. The Evil Immortal would definitely do everything in his power to help the Holy Skeleton Star Blade escape from the Langhuan Secret Realm.
"Senior, this is just my speculation. I will do my best to confirm it once we enter the secret realm."
She couldn't promise much more, after all, her cultivation was limited, and she wouldn't take on things she couldn't do.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face: "So be it. What's meant to happen will happen. Just do your best and have a clear conscience."
Then Ox-Head and Horse-Face were taken offline.
Yunxi glanced at the "gods" who were still offline, and finally left the chat group with no choice.
Meanwhile, several key members of the group have already made contact through other means and are discussing the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade.
"This thing has finally shown itself."
Should we take this opportunity to bring it back?
"Since Lord Jian hasn't mentioned this matter, we'd better not act rashly."
"So you're just going to watch it like this?"
"The Holy Remains Star-Slaying Blade has its own mission, and we'd better not interfere."
"understood."
"clear."
After the communication ended, these bigwigs disappeared into the starry sky.
Di Fei also received a reply from Baili Yan Que:
"This is just your guess and has not been confirmed. Once you enter the Langhuan Secret Realm, act according to the situation. If a divine artifact really appears, you'd better join forces with Ranxi to take it down."
If, as you suspect, the artifact that appeared is indeed an evil artifact, it would be best to seal it within the secret realm. You can discuss the specifics of how to do this with Ranxi.
I cannot enter the secret realm; you will have to rely on yourselves. However, I will send people to Deer Cry City to guard your rear. Just do your job.
This was the first time Di Fei had received such a long reply from Baili Guiwang. She read it over and over again before handing the communication jade slip to Yun Xi.
At this moment, Yunxi's consciousness had already left the space. After taking the jade slip and reading it, she rubbed her temples and said:
"Difei, we might be in deep trouble this time. We'd better act according to the situation after entering the secret realm."
Di Fei also solemnly replied:
"I understand, and I hope our guess is wrong."
As soon as they finished speaking, the communication jade slips at their waists vibrated simultaneously. The two scanned them with their divine senses and left the Inquiry Pavilion, because the entrance to the Langhuan Secret Realm had opened.
