Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 544 Repaying Kindness
These words are tantamount to revealing that Wei Xi is a very dangerous person who can suppress this catastrophe of the Hehuan Sect.

Wei Xi felt as if a huge pot had been dumped on him, and it took him a long time to finally manage to say something: “Although the Heaven and Earth Gate claims to be able to see the heavens and the earth, it is still just human deduction. How can what they say be true? I am just a Foundation Establishment cultivator and cannot bear such a heavy responsibility. I see that your Fellow Daoist Fang is very measured in his actions and has a rare enthusiasm. It would be foolish for the sect leader not to use such a person.”

“Fang Jiuchen’s mistake lies in his heart,” the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect said solemnly. “Young fellow Daoist, you are young and unafraid of the clear will of Heaven, but we dare not be careless. We ask for your great help, and we will naturally offer you a small token of our gratitude.”

These words made Wei Xi even more wary—damn it! The words of the tenth princess of Ju were still ringing in his ears; Wei Xi wasn't going to be blinded by greed twice!

Now Wei Xi understands that everyone in this world is a smart person with a sense of justice, and there's no such thing as being taken advantage of. If he doesn't learn from his mistakes, he'll eventually stumble.

Therefore, Wei Xi firmly declined, saying, "Does the sect leader intend to coerce this junior? The Hehuan Sect is a major sect in the Western Regions, with countless experts among its disciples. If your sect cannot solve this problem, is pushing it onto an ambiguous divination just to put your mind at ease? If that is indeed the case, then there is some reason why the Hehuan Sect cannot escape this predicament."

Elder Di of the Hehuan Sect turned to Sect Leader Mo for help, who stroked his beard and said, "Why are you looking at me? I've already said that Wei Xi is a scheming person. You can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to. I won't say another word."

Master Du, whom no one dared to disturb, remained meditating with his eyes closed, completely unconcerned about whether Wei Xi would agree.

Seeing this, Wei Xi felt much relieved—it seemed that the elders of the Qingcheng Sect were still on his side.

“Fellow Daoist Wei,” Elder Di said with a wry smile, “it’s not that we’re just looking for peace of mind, but rather that something has gone wrong within our sect, which is why we need to rely on your sect’s strength. After all, Immortal Master Du will take care of Suozi, and among your sect’s disciples who have descended to the mortal realm to form their cores this time, you stand out in terms of strategy and courage.”

"Given that you've escaped death twice, that's why I'm thinking of asking you for help."

The words were phrased euphemistically, but Wei Xi immediately grasped the key point.

"A traitor? There's a traitor within your Hehuan Sect?"

This is an embarrassing thing to say, but the Hehuan Sect has experienced countless awkward situations, so this is where their advantage comes into play.

Although Elder Di was old, cultivators who had reached the Core Formation stage naturally did not age, and his current face full of shame had a unique charm.

Wei Xi has a penchant for women, as evidenced by her obvious favoritism towards Qin Feng. Now, facing the Hehuan Sect, her anger has inevitably lessened somewhat.

“What you say is correct, young friend,” Elder Di said, taking out a recording stone from his sleeve. “About three years ago, I Qiyu was drugged and has been mentally unstable ever since. When we traced the pharmacy’s cultivators, we found that they were already dead.”

As spiritual energy was injected, the recording stone replayed the scene. Inside a rather interesting side room, a corpse lay. As the recording stone approached, the corpse's face gradually became clearer. With willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, peach-blossom cheeks, and cherry lips, she was a beauty in her early twenties. Unfortunately, poisonous blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth, indicating that she was already dead.

"Upon inspection, there were no signs of a struggle in the room, nor any trace of spiritual energy. Either a master erased the traces, or the person committed suicide by poison."

"There are a few suspicious points: First, this person is a disciple of the pharmacy, and her cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. She usually concocts some warm-hearted pills and has no ability to make such a poison. Second, this person has no connection with E Qiyu at all. If the investigation had not led to the pharmacy, no one would have suspected her. Third, the timing of this murder is too coincidental, almost like framing someone."

Wei Xi nodded slightly. Not everyone in the Hehuan Sect was a fool; they could still see the strangeness in the matter.

Moreover, Wei Xi also saw familiar flying sand in the crime scene preserved by the photographic stone.

With Wei Xi's acting skills, no one noticed her discovery at all.

"It's another trick of Yi Hua," Wei Xi thought to himself as he lowered his eyes. "These evil people have been rooted in the Western Regions for many years, so it's not difficult for them to have a few spies in the Hehuan Sect."

“It’s just that it involves Yihua, and is also related to Zhongyuan outside Dead Water City. Perhaps I…” Elder Di’s voice trembled a bit, “but this murder case has run out of clues, and there’s no way to investigate it after that. After E Qiyu’s accident, people in the sect were in a panic, and we could only investigate in secret.”

"But after that, the Red Dust Eye became unstable, and many disciples of the Joyful Union Sect were troubled by emotional obstacles. There were repeated casualties. If I, Qi Yu, cannot form a core this time, I'm afraid the Joyful Union Sect will not last more than thirty years."

Wei Xi had already made up her mind—since this matter was related to Yi Hua, she would inevitably have to investigate it. However, she absolutely could not touch the hot potato that was E Qi Yu.

What a joke! Just because this person is mentally unstable, I, Wei, would not dare to take a madman down to the boundary between Yin and Yang at Dieji Mountain.

"I'll say it again," Wei Xi said, cupping his hands in apology, "this disciple is incompetent, and hopes..."

Before Wei Xi could finish speaking, footsteps were heard outside the cabin door, followed by a knock.

It turned out that the Hehuan Sect disciples who had gone to pick up the person earlier had returned. The one in the lead was pushing a wheelchair, and a hooded boy was sitting on it.

"Disciple greets Sect Leader! Greetings to Elder Di. Senior Brother Fang has asked us to invite my Qi Yu here."

"Enough!" the leader of the Hehuan Sect shouted, "A bunch of ignorant brats, go back now!"

"Sect Leader," Elder Di stopped him, "Jiu Chen is also anxious. Now that I Qi Yu has been brought here, let Fellow Daoist Wei meet him as well."

Wei Xi: Where does this confidence come from?
The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect waved his hand, and the junior disciples withdrew.

Leaving only the wheelchair behind, Elder Di respectfully stood behind it and slowly removed the hood.

I, Qi Yu, was born with a high nose and deep-set eyes, with naturally emerald-green pupils that now appear as misty as rain. My face is as smooth as jade, and I possess an air of elegance.

This person is extremely handsome, making others look like dirt in comparison.

But Wei Xi immediately noticed that this person was surrounded by a lot of yin and yang energy, and should have exploded and died long ago, but he just lost his mind.

Even more critically, the ancient symbols that guide the yin and yang energies of the Ichi language have disappeared.

"No wonder," Wei Xi thought to himself, "No wonder the Eye of the Mortal World can break through the barriers of emotion."

The problem, in this context, is that the person is blind.

Thinking about it this way, I think I'm quite pathetic.

But Wei Xi was immediately frightened by the words of the Hehuan Sect leader.

"Sect Leader Mo, there are traitors within the Hehuan Sect. We hope your sect will lend a hand. Protecting E Qiyu is protecting all the disciples of the Hehuan Sect. To show our sincerity, we wish to form a marriage alliance! After E Qiyu forms her core, she will become Daoist partner with Fellow Daoist Wei. From then on, the Hehuan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect will become allies. After my death, according to custom, Wei Xi will succeed as sect leader."

Don't worry, Wei Xi doesn't have a romantic storyline, everyone can relax!!!
