The person behind the scenes did not appear because of everyone's shock. The thick purple mist was indeed not the Burning Soul Nether Mist.
All those who breathed in the mist and felt so desperate that they thought they were going to die were safe and sound.
The only thing that puzzled everyone was why the Burning Soul Nether Mist seemed to have a mind of its own and attacked the people targeting Yu Yuan.
The people who were still in shock were scattered around the Cloud Lake and the seven lower sects. They were all in deep thought.
Because of Qi Jinghai, the doubts in their hearts and the desire to hold Yu Yuan accountable suddenly faded a lot.
Even the fiercest Xuantianzong's Fang Xiujuan, after learning that the purple mist was not the Burning Soul Nether Mist, miraculously calmed down.
After a strange silence, Liu Ying, who controlled the Falling Star Eyes, said quietly, "Those who left the city have returned."
As soon as she said this, numerous gazes gathered at the south gate of Qing Luan City.
Those who were at the Soul Wander Realm could see the people who had returned to the city in a sorry state. Their faces were ashen, their bodies covered in blood, or their spirits dispirited.
Those who returned only accounted for a quarter of the total number of people who left the city.
Even a Sun Spirit expert like Spiritual Master Qiyu died not long after leaving the city. The remaining people who survived were lucky on one hand, and because Tan Chun Shan had appeared and escorted them.
Without Tan Chun Shan of the Star Moon Sect, all those who left the city would have been wiped out.
"Since it's not the Burning Soul Nether Mist and some of them have returned, let's not pursue the matter of Yu Yuan for the time being." Chen Langzhi took a deep breath and said to Fang Xiujuan with a solemn expression, "The most important thing right now is to unite. Our Chen family will figure out the origin of the Burning Soul Nether Mist and who released it. Give us some time. "
Xuantianzong's Fang Xiujuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light and then restrained fear.
She pondered for a moment and then turned back to the Azure Sky Divine Hall without saying a word.
As soon as her leader left, the rest of the noisy people who followed her rubbed their noses and also felt bored and flew back to the Azure Sky Divine Hall.
"She's afraid."
After Fang Xiujuan left, Jin Xiaolie of the Chamber of Commerce curled his lips in disdain. "No matter who secretly activated the purple mist, that person is on Yu Yuan's side. It was able to summon streams of purple mist and accurately lock onto the culprit. However, Fang Xiujuan didn't notice anything. This proves that the person helping Yu Yuan in the dark is far stronger than her. "
He paused for a moment.
Jin Xiaolie added, "She dares to ignore us because she thinks that we can't do anything to her since we're at the same cultivation level. Also, the sect behind her is Xuantianzong, which gives her confidence. "
"She doesn't even know who the hidden person is. Perhaps even if we kill her, she still won't know anything. She is afraid of the unknown person who is hiding in the dark, whose cultivation base is higher than hers and who can kill her at any time. "
The seemingly hot-tempered Jin Xiaolie had analyzed Fang Xiujuan's state of mind thoroughly.
Chen Langzhi nodded slightly. "Yu Yuan, don't go to the Azure Sky Divine Hall for now. As for you, stay in the Chamber of Commerce branch. I'll use my family's power to find out who first released the Soul Burning Nether Mist in the city. We also need to find out who's hiding in the dark and playing tricks on us! "
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Langzhi turned into a streak of light and entered the cloud lake.
In an instant, the streak of light reached the bottom of the cloud lake. His soul consciousness spread out like a spider's web as he carefully investigated the bottom of the lake in an attempt to find the secret at the bottom of the lake.
"Yu Yuan!"
"Yu Yuan!"
Zhao Yafu, Zhan Tianxiang, Xie Bin, and the others from the seven lower sects waved their hands and called out softly.
Looking at them, thinking of Fang Xiujuan's interrogation and the strange situation in Azure Phoenix City, Yu Yuan suddenly had a bold and crazy idea.
Taking a deep breath, he released the Fiend Demon Cauldron. After entering it, he crossed the cloud lake and floated in front of Zhao Yafu and the others.
"Are you alright?" Zhao Yafu was very anxious. "What's going on with that purple mist? Big Brother Yu, you have to be careful! "
"Fang Xiujuan was persuaded by Qi Jinghai." Xie Bin's expression was grim as he said, "On one hand, it's because you helped me condense my heavenly soul. On the other hand …" As he said this, Xie Bin glanced at Liu Ying in the distance.
Yu Yuan's mind shook slightly as he finally remembered that this person from the Lightning Sect had admired Liu Ying for many years.
Previously in the Crimson Fire Desert, Qu Jing of the Spirit Void Sect had used his life to force Liu Ying to marry Qi Jinghai and Liu Ying. It would have been good even if it had created some rumors.
And there had been some rumors between him and Liu Ying since the Starry Ash Sea Region.
"That brat Qi Jinghai is full of evil tricks. He didn't show himself, but just fanned the flames and incited many people." Zhan Tianxiang cursed. "You have to be careful of people like him. They are like poisonous snakes in the shadows. They can pounce on you at any time when you're not paying attention."
"I know what I'm doing." Yu Yuan nodded with a smile. He told them to be careful and advised them to return to the Blue Sky Divine Palace.
"What about you?" Xie Bin asked curiously.
"It's not suitable for me to go to the Blue Sky Divine Palace for now. I don't want to be targeted everywhere." Yu Yuan smiled brightly. "Don't worry about me. I'll stay at the branch of the Chamber of Commerce. Without the spread of the Burning Soul Nether Mist, I'll be fine as long as Blue Phoenix City doesn't fall. "
After his persuasion, the people who had come because of him returned to the Blue Sky Divine Palace.
There, they didn't have to worry about being ambushed. They could focus on cultivating in the cultivation room and face the upcoming battle in their best condition.
After comforting them, Yu Yuan returned to the branch of the Chamber of Commerce with Liu Ying and Jin Xiaolie.
Not long after, Chen Langzhi, who had wandered around the Cloud Lake, returned empty-handed. He shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything."
Yu Yuan thought to herself, 'If the one who did this is really Zu An, my good friend from my previous life, given Zu An's temperament and means, Chen Langzhi won't be able to find any clues.'
"I'm going to leave the city."
Without any warning, Yu Yuan threw out crazy words that were no less than a heavy bomb.
"Leave the city?!"
"Are you crazy?"
"No way?"
Jin Xiaolie, Liu Ying, and Chen Langzhi suddenly changed color and screamed.
"Yu Yuan, you're not scared out of your wits by Fang Xiujuan, are you?" Jin Xiaolie's face was full of disbelief as he shook his head, "Spiritual Master Qiyu is dead, Thunder Sect's Hu Qian is also dead, Sun Spirit and Soul Wander Realm cultivators are all devoured by the Dark Lightning Dust Mist outside, why are you going out?"
Liu Ying also shouted, "With the Heavenly Phoenix Ascension Formation, the Other Souls and Evil Spirits outside can't enter, we're still safe. As long as we wait, when the five supreme sects are free, we'll definitely be able to escape. Yu Yuan, don't be impulsive, I forbid you to leave the city! "
She felt that Yu Yuan's heart was cold to many people in the city and had lost his mind, which was why he left the city at this time.
Chen Langzhi also kept persuading him.
"I've made up my mind." Yu Yuan said to Chen Langzhi with an incomparably firm tone, "Please tell the city guards that I'm leaving Blue Phoenix City!"
