"So that was it! No wonder. No wonder."
Yunxi pieced all the clues together at once.
The Evil Cultivators must have long known where the Evil God's body was sealed. Or perhaps, after searching again and again, they had confirmed that the Weiyu Realm contained part of the Evil God's body. That was why they had sent Evil Cultivators to infiltrate the Weiyu Realm, intending to search for it at their leisure after taking over the realm.
But the cultivators of the Weiyu Realm were no pushovers. The cultivators of the previous generation had all possessed some real skill. Moreover, Tianyun Sect had calculated the calamity awaiting the Weiyu Realm. Through the united efforts of all cultivators, the Evil Cultivators' first operation had ended in utter failure.
Though that plan had failed, the Evil Cultivators had not given up. They spent even longer plotting, slowly dividing the cultivators of the Weiyu Realm and silently strangling the Elite Disciples of every region before they could grow.
They stopped at nothing to drive Tianyun Sect to the brink of destruction. To hide more effectively in the Weiyu Realm, they massacred the entire Medicine Immortal Sect for the sake of a formula for a potion that concealed one's aura, nearly severing the Medicine Immortal Sect's legacy.
Then the Evil Cultivators exploited fallen cultivators such as Li Chang, Zuoqiu, and Xiao He, using the things they cared about most as bait. Step by step, they turned those cultivators into their pawns, stirring up strife within sects and between the Dao and Demonic paths, attempting to drag every region into internal conflict and leave them no time to deal with the Evil Cultivators.
Throughout their arrangements, the Evil Cultivators had also used immortality as bait to expand their power, guiding mortals into cultivating evil techniques
