Chapter 965 Missed Opportunity
Yunxi reacted immediately, pulling the two of them out of the cave in the cliff face, and then leaping to the top of a huge redwood tree. Looking at the still swaying cliff face, the red outer shell of the cliff was rapidly peeling off.

Finally, amidst the exclamations of the Wanqi sisters, the cliff face shrank into a red stone tablet, which emitted a red light and seemed about to disappear at any moment.

Yunxi sensed a suction force and turned to look at the two who were still in shock, saying:
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and seize your own opportunity."

After saying that, he stuffed the token that Wan Qiwei had given him to enter the secret realm into Wan Qirui's hand. Just as the other party was about to refuse, he waved his sleeve and sent the two of them into the inheritance monument.

The moment the two disappeared, the red inheritance monument transformed into a streak of red light and flew toward the core of the secret realm.

Yunxi then leaped down from the giant redwood tree. Next, she needed to find a safe place to interrogate Wan Qili, as she had many questions that needed to be answered.

Unbeknownst to Wan Qiye and Wan Qili, their wickedness and depravity caused them to miss the greatest opportunity of their lives and even cost them their lives.

The monument was quite frustrated. It just found a random spot to settle down and sleep, but two clueless creatures managed to chip away at its outer camouflage and even made a hole in it.

It's one thing to dig a hole, but to kidnap three female cultivators and try to forcibly absorb their cultivation is clearly not a good thing. Just as he was about to kick these two bastards out, one of the female immortals made her move. He liked her decisive and efficient action. Unfortunately, she didn't want to enter his inheritance space, but instead sent the other two female immortals in.

The Inheritance Stele thought it was alright; at least the two female immortals were quite principled, righteous, and unyielding, so their chances of passing the test in the inheritance space were higher. So, it decided to accept them.

Then it quickly hid back in the center of the secret realm, which was the safest place. Every time the secret realm opened, immortals would search for it all over the place, which bothered it a lot. So every time an immortal entered, it would hide in advance. This time it had overslept.

Yunxi was unaware of the incessant chatter of the Inheritance Stele. At this moment, she found a barren red sandy area, opened the energy shield, and then took out the Soul-Gathering Mirror to release Wan Qili's soul.

She examined Wan Qili's soul closely and found that it was very solid. Even if his physical body was destroyed, he could still cultivate a new physical body by following the path of ghost cultivation. However, the possibility of that was zero at the moment.

Yunxi released Lili from the Thousand Illusions Flowing Unicorn Mother-Child Ring and pointed at Wanqili, who was charging wildly, trying to break through the Hong Energy Shield, and said:
"Lili, check if there's anything wrong with his soul."

"Yes, fairy."

Li Li's dark grape-like eyes instantly turned deep, her gaze fixed on Wan Qili, who was jumping around.

After a moment, Lili scratched her ear and said:
“Fairy, his soul is fine, but it has been corrupted. I just don’t know what corrupted his soul. Over time, it will probably affect his temperament.”

After hearing this, Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and pulled Wan Qili, who was bouncing around looking for an exit, into her hand.

Wan Qili was terrified at this moment, and he said in a fierce but weak voice:

"Ranxi, you are just a servant of the Wanqi family. Release me now, or you will surely die a horrible death."

Yun Xi said coldly:
"Don't worry, I won't give the Wanqi family a chance to find me."

After speaking, he used his divine sense to pierce Wan Qili's brow and began searching his soul.

A quarter of an hour later, Yunxi withdrew her divine sense and sent Wanqili, whose soul had faded, back into the Soul-Gathering Mirror.

Lili, who was squatting to the side, wagged her tail and asked:

"Fairy, why not just crush his soul? You've already searched his soul." "No rush. Wan Qiye has already fallen. Wan Qili must hold on until the secret realm closes. Otherwise, how can I show that I've done a good job protecting him?"

"The fairy plans to crush his soul when she kicks him in the secret realm."

This time, Lili spoke with great certainty.

"Yes, two died, but I protected two others. I myself was trapped in the secret realm and could not get out. This way, I not only repaid the favor to the Wanqi family, but the Jin family also lost the opportunity to hunt me down. This is the perfect way to escape."

Lili twitched her ears and said:
"But this secret realm won't reopen for five hundred years after it closes. Can the fairy hold out until then?"

Yunxi said confidently:
"Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways. I certainly won't let myself be trapped in this secret realm."

Lili nodded and didn't ask any more questions, then stayed by Yunxi's side.

Yunxi closed her eyes and began to filter the results of the soul search, gaining a general understanding of the major events that had occurred in the past fifty years and the actions of the Wanqi family.

Yunxi learned from Wanqili's memories that the Wanqi family was the main force behind the Jin family's current predicament, while other families in Wanhao Immortal City also contributed, and even the City Lord's Mansion provided some support.

When Yunxi entered the Wanqi family for seclusion, the Wanqi family used her identity to deliberately throw out the recording jade that recorded Jin Lai's actions. Then, the contents of the recording jade spread like wildfire, and soon all the families in Wanhao Immortal City knew about it.

The immortals in the city tried every means to get close to the disciples of the Wanqi family, wanting to verify the authenticity of the contents of the recording jade. However, the Wanqi family did not respond directly, only saying that the matter had been resolved under the intervention of the city lord's mansion, and that they had reached a reconciliation with the Jin family, and they were unwilling to say more.

However, the family heads who watched Jinlai's execution were certain that the contents of the recording jade were real, and each of them had their own ulterior motives.

After the truth of the matter spread widely, they, like Wan Qiyou before them, suspected that the Jin family had a treasure for exploring the immortal stone mine. Otherwise, there was no reason why the Wan Qi family had not been able to find it themselves, but they had.

After that, the Jin family disciples who were traveling outside began to have accidents. After this happened, the Jin family became very vigilant and immediately notified the disciples traveling outside to change their identities. The Jin family knew very well that the missing disciples were probably in grave danger.

However, after this situation continued for a year, no more disciples of the Jin family went missing. It is estimated that those lower-level disciples did not know the family's core secrets, so these immortals set their sights on elders like Jin Long.

Jinlong became the first elder to be killed. Not only that, the Jinlai clan members who left Wanhao Immortal City also met with an accident. It was the Wanqi family who took action. They killed half of the low-level disciples and then searched the souls of the elders of this lineage. They actually found out why the Jin family was able to detect the immortal stone mine.

However, since Wan Qili was only an elite disciple who was being cultivated with special attention, his knowledge was limited and he did not know what the treasure was. Yunxi guessed that it was either an object or a specific person.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder the Jin family's power has shrunk so much and they've been hiding in Wanhao City all this time. After all, even the city lord's mansion doesn't stand on the Jin family's side."

Yunxi murmured to herself.

After resting for a day, Yunxi put away the energy shield, sent Lili back to her space, and awakened the sleeping, energy-gathering Dian Dian. Next, she would carefully explore the entire secret realm.

Meanwhile, the bigwigs outside the secret realm were not in a good mood, because starting from the third day after the secret realm closed, the life tablets of the disciples who entered began to shatter one after another, indicating that they had perished in the secret realm.

See you tomorrow, babies~
