The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The dazzling golden light emanating from the Nine-Turn Infant Fruit could no longer be concealed.

Everyone outside the mysterious realm seemed to sense something.

Outside Yinxian City, the power of laws emanating from the closed entrance to the secret realm caused a stir among the cultivators in the city.

Wen Fuyue and the others kept a close eye on the spot where the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared, ready to provide support to Yun Yici and the others at any time.

Yun Yici and the others have been inside for seven days, which is exactly one cycle of the Heavenly Cycle, the day the exit of the secret realm appears.

The cultivators were already captivated by the golden light emanating from the secret realm, let alone imagining what it would be like to consume the Nascent Soul Fruit.

All the cultivators had their eyes on the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit, and they were completely blinded by greed, rushing to get their hands on it as if they were too late.

When Lu Yiguang and the other two saw the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit, their hearts were stirred, and they finally understood why Yun Yici had been trying to stall for time.

Li Tanqian, breathing rapidly, hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister Lu, this is a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit, should we still help those people from the Nanhua Sect?"

This opportunity has already made all the cultivators bloodthirsty.

If this opportunity could be exchanged for the Lingwei Sect giving them an equal chance to enter the outer pavilion, he would never say a word.

However, Yun Yici did not promise them anything at all; it was entirely a one-sided effort on their part.

They hoped that their efforts would give Yun Yici the opportunity to meet the leader of the Lingwei Sect.

Such an incredible opportunity, in exchange for an uncertain one.

If Lu Yiguang hadn't been so authoritative as the senior disciple in the sect, and if Li Tanqian and Qin Zhen hadn't trusted her so much, they would have unilaterally broken their promise by now.

The only constant in this world is self-interest.

Lu Yiguang's eyes narrowed. Protecting his weaknesses, he charged directly into the crowd of cultivators. His spear, burning with strange fire, was powerful and fierce. He forced people back and then used his body to block them.

Seeing her like this, Li Tanqian and Qin Zhen already knew the answer in their hearts. They gritted their teeth and rushed into the crowd to protect Lu Yiguang.

Lu Yiguang's spear technique was unpredictable, and he also possessed a strange fire, which allowed him to attack from a distance. In close combat, he was protected by a swordsman and a saber cultivator. No one could get close to the three of them.

Moreover, Lu Yiguang was extremely intelligent, and they managed to stay firmly in the middle and upper reaches of the crowd.

Qin Zhen and Li Tanqian tried their best to intercept the cultivators rushing upwards, while Lu Yiguang was responsible for ambushing the cultivators in front of them.

Mu Yunjian also lurked in the shadows, leading the demon weasel to stir up trouble and incite conflict.

In an instant, these bloodthirsty cultivators, incited by the situation, actually started fighting amongst themselves.

Xie Qianjue and the others were protected by Yun Yici in the illusion, and he was anxious as he watched this scene.

Xie Qianjue transmitted his voice to Yun Yici, saying, "Junior Sister Yun, what should we do now? We can pick the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit soon..."

If this continues, a bloody battle is inevitable.

Before he could finish speaking, the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit, which had completely transformed into gold, began to sway precariously.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yici immediately conjured five wind beads of different colors between his fingers.

Before anyone could react, she simultaneously threw five wind beads at the front of the treasure tree.

Five wind beads carrying different elements erupted with terrifying energy, completely releasing the whirlwind sealed within them.

A howling wind swept across the land in an instant, blowing away the leaves of the Nascent Soul Treasure Tree and threatening to swallow the Nascent Soul Fruit whole.

Blinded by greed, the cultivators only had the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit in their eyes, and one by one they fearlessly rushed into the wind.

The scene was in complete chaos, and even Lu Yiguang and his two companions could not hold on.

However, the sudden gust of wind made them even more certain that it was Yun Yici's doing.

Lu Yiguang sighed inwardly, fearing that Yun Yici's plan was doomed to fail.

To her surprise, the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit that everyone had been longing for suddenly flew up on its own!

"What's going on? How can that Nascent Soul Fruit fly?"

"Wait a minute, I've heard that flowers, plants, and trees can also cultivate if they have the right opportunity. Could this Nascent Soul Fruit have become a spirit?"

"Come on! Even if it became a spirit, eating it would allow you to advance to the Nascent Soul stage!"

These words ignited the cultivators' greed. Relying on their high cultivation levels, they only had eyes for the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit and rushed after it.

The weaker cultivators, however, were overjoyed, each looking at the eight remaining Nascent Soul Fruits on the tree.

However, despite the strong winds, a dozen nimble figures had already swiftly harvested all eight Nascent Soul Fruits from the Nascent Soul Tree.

Seeing that the fruit had been taken, the cultivators went completely mad, using all sorts of spells, magic weapons, and techniques to bombard the dozen or so figures, trying to snatch the Nascent Soul Fruit.

Before the cultivators could even rejoice, one of them was blasted to pieces.

The person who had been blown to pieces strangely began to reassemble and wriggle, then vanished into the raging wind in an instant.

Seeing that Yun Yici had succeeded, the few people hidden in the illusion took advantage of the cultivators' mental imbalance and disappeared into the crowd.

"Damn, eight Nascent Soul Fruits?? Gone just like that??"

"Which bastard stole all the Nascent Soul Fruits?! Not a single one was left!"

What's going on with this wind?

"Wait, did you just see someone rush up?"

For a moment, the cultivators blamed each other, with one saying, "Those three people were very suspicious. They kept indiscriminately injuring people without distinguishing friend from foe."

"They must have colluded with someone from the inside to steal the Nascent Soul Fruit."

The unfriendly gazes of the cultivators immediately shifted to Lu Yiguang and his two companions.

Lu Yiguang and his two companions were truly suffering under the gazes of the other cultivators, unable to express their grievances.

If they really did collude with each other, then we'll have to take the blame.

The problem is, besides taking the blame, they didn't get any benefits.

Just as Lu Yiguang and his two companions were about to reveal their identities in order to protect themselves.

A familiar voice suddenly came from the crowd: "These eight are gone, but isn't there still one Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit outside?"

Lu Yiguang recognized that it was Yun Yici's voice.

"Yeah, forget about them and hurry up and chase after the last Nascent Soul Fruit. If we can get the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit, what do the others matter?"

These words immediately brought the cultivators, who had been trying to get water from a bamboo basket, to their senses. The decisive ones among them had already followed the direction in which the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit had flown away.

Seeing that more and more people were chasing after the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit, Lu Yiguang and his two companions breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as they were about to sneak away, Lu Yiguang was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

She immediately thrust her spear backward, and then heard Yun Yici's voice: "It's us."

Lu Yiguang immediately stopped; she really couldn't afford to mess with this ancestor.

When she turned around, she saw Yun Yici and the others standing there unharmed, while the other cultivators acted as if they hadn't seen them at all.

Lu Yiguang hesitated and asked, "Did you pick those Nascent Soul Fruits?"

Yun Yici did not answer. Seeing that Lu Yiguang and the other two were covered in blood, she took three new sets of clothes from Rong Xuan and handed them to them: "Change into these first, so you won't be watched when you go out."

She was prepared for Lu Yiguang and the other two to betray her and reveal their secrets, but she never expected that they would actually keep their promise and stick to it until the end.
