Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and said:
"Don't worry. Since even you thought of it, Shangchuan and I naturally anticipated it long ago. The Evil Immortals were badly crippled in Menglan Jun's last purge, so they would not readily show themselves again. But if they did not act, we would have no way to weaken their strength.
"Now that they have created an opportunity, we only need to wait and watch the show. They have left themselves a backup plan, and so have I. It will depend on who is the better chess player."
Upon hearing her master's assured response, Yan Meng knew that her master had everything under control, so she said no more.
Wei Zonghao, the Alchemy Peak Master standing guard outside the hall, saw Ji Yan enter and leave in less than a quarter of an hour. He merely frowned and did not step forward to question him. Instead, he waited outside the hall, hoping for a chance to meet Yunxi alone.

"Peak Master Wei, were you waiting for me?"
Wei Zonghao instantly came back to himself. A smile immediately appeared on his face as he cupped his hands and said:
"Zonghao pays his respects to Immortal Emperor Ranxi!"
This time, Yunxi personally reached out and helped him up.

Wei Zonghao said seriously:
"Etiquette must not be neglected."
"Come sit with me at Lingxue Peak."
"Very well."
Wei Zonghao readily agreed. Then the two turned into streams of light and sped straight toward Lingxue Peak.
Although Zhou Lingchuan had said he was going to tidy up Lingxue Peak, the peak was maintained by formations and needed no cleaning at
