Chapter 1804 Secret Joy
The celestial phenomenon of Lianyi's advancement slowly disappeared after she opened her eyes. She exhaled a breath of foul air, performed a Cleansing Dust Technique on herself, and changed into a black dress with dark patterns and gold edges. She simply tied her long hair into a bun, and after fixing her hair with a top-grade spiritual artifact, auspicious cloud hairpin, she took a step forward and came to the side of Master Mo Chengzhen and Master Xunian.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor and Senior Xu Nian, for protecting Lian Yi."

Lianyi bowed respectfully to express her gratitude.

Mo Cheng Zhenzun said with a smile:

"Lianyi, you performed well this time. When you return to the sect, you can settle down for a few years. There is no need to rush to advance again."

Lian Yi immediately smiled and nodded:
"The ancestor is right. Although my cultivation has advanced, Lianyi is still a little unsure. I will go back and prepare to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation and familiarize myself with the techniques of the Spiritualization Stage and the Out-of-Body Stage."

"Well, it's good that you know the situation. We still need to screen the sect disciples who left the secret realm. You stay with me and help. After that, we will return to the sect as soon as possible."

Mo Cheng Zhenzun ordered.

"Yes, Lianyi obeys your command."

Lianyi agreed immediately, thinking that she would feel safe by following the ancestor.

Venerable Xunian flipped his hand and handed a sealed jade box to Lianyi, saying:

"Congratulations, uncle-master, for advancing to the Out-of-Body Stage. This is sent by Wutong. This time, their Mingdao Sect has been severely slapped in the face."

Lianyi first took the jade box that sealed the immortal tree, and then said with a smile:

“Brother Xunian, you are being too formal. I guess you will be promoted to the Out-of-Body Stage after returning to the sect this time. Just call me Lianyi!”

"Haha! Then I'll be generous and accept your good words."

Xunian was also happy after hearing Lianyi's words. He was very confident in himself, especially after seeing the golden light of merit bestowed by heaven.

Then the three of them flashed and returned to the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Lianyi was obviously the one who attracted the most attention. Although Lianyi had restrained the aura around him, the pressure of the out-of-body stage could not be deceived. Those who could talk to Lianyi came forward to congratulate him.

Lian Yi also responded to everyone politely. Some people were more concerned about the appearance of evil souls in the ancient battlefield. It happened that Lian Yi, the discoverer, had returned, so someone specifically asked about this matter.

Lianyi did not hide it. The more people who knew about this kind of thing, the better. Everyone has two or three friends. Once the news spreads, it will definitely arouse everyone's vigilance.

So Lianyi talked about her two encounters. The first time, she was teleported to an underground cave by a directional teleportation array. The evil spirit used the inheritance test to set up a trap, hoping to take advantage of the illusion to take over the body of the cultivator who entered without his knowledge.

Lianyi also stated that these evil spirits specifically target cultivators with good qualifications to possess their bodies, so everyone should be on high alert and not easily reveal their spiritual root attributes and special physical conditions when they are training outside.

As for the second time, it was actually a real inheritance test, but who made Ning Zexu almost fall into evil? Although it had nothing to do with the evil cultivator, Lianyi also planned to let the evil soul take the blame, so she simply said that it was a targeted selection of targets for possession.

"Young Master, do you mean that this evil spirit selected cultivators with a single gold spiritual root, so Ning Zexu from Mingdao Sect was chosen?"

Lian Yi nodded seriously after hearing this and said seriously:
"It should be. Otherwise, why would he choose him over me who has a higher cultivation level? I guess the evil spirit's main training was in the gold-based techniques before its body was destroyed."

"Tsk, these evil spirits are too arrogant, treating us as candidate bodies that they can pick at any time."

The Nascent Soul Stage disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace said with some annoyance.

"Who said it wasn't! Fortunately, the sect had foresight and knew that there must be hidden dangers in the ancient battlefield, so we were alert. But we didn't expect that some people would fall into the trap in the end."

As for who this person is, everyone knows it without Lianyi mentioning his name, which is also the reason why they are in a good mood these two days.

The Mahayana masters of several major sects have spoken. No one will be allowed to leave before the screening is complete. No one dares to object to matters related to evil cultivators. It would be strange if someone objects. In the past, the disciples of Mingdao Sect would compete with the people of Tianmo Palace openly or secretly, but after Ning Zexu's incident this time, they are a little bit discouraged, and the disciples of other sects are also on guard against them.

After all, Ning Zexu's identity is there. He is a direct disciple of the True Master. Who knows whether he has harmed other disciples after being possessed by another's body? Therefore, the disciples who are close to him on weekdays are listed as key screening targets and have to meet their own Mahayana ancestors alone.

It is conceivable that these people will be questioned thoroughly. Some of the things they did in the past that were not worthy of being put on the table have also been known by the ancestors. What good future do they have? It is irritating to think about it, and they no longer have the intention to compete with the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Lian Yi smiled slightly and raised her eyebrows to remind:

"We are all from big sects, so don't be too obvious. Just act the same as usual. There is no need to laugh at others. No one wants to encounter such a thing. If something like this happened in the Heavenly Demon Palace, you wouldn't want to be laughed at in front of others, right?"

"Young Grandmaster is right. We just laughed at them in private. We didn't show anything in public. They just felt embarrassed."

The Yuanying stage disciple said calmly.

Lian Yi also believed that since he had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, not to mention his experiences, his age was more than ten times hers, so he must be familiar with the ways of the world.

"I'm not worried about you all, I just want to remind the lower-level disciples not to overdo it."

"Don't worry, little master. We're watching over it, nothing will go wrong."

Someone immediately responded.

Lian Yi asked curiously:

"How did you deal with Ning Zexu?"

"He was held in solitary confinement. I heard from the people of Mingdao Sect that he would be brought back to the sect for his master to deal with."

After hearing this, Lianyi said in a fake tone:

“This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Ning Zexu. The evil cultivator is cunning and targeted the sect’s elite disciples for harm. However, it is strange that he was so easily deceived.

As far as I know, the most important thing for Ming Dao Sect to accept disciples is their character. It doesn't make sense that others would not be deceived, but he would be easily deceived by the evil cultivators."

Lianyi didn't need to say the rest, everyone understood.

At this time, a Jindan-stage disciple who entered the Heavenly Demon Palace at the same time as Ning Zexu spoke:

“Young Master, you entered the sect later, so you may not understand clearly. Ning Zexu and I were in the same group of people who participated in the recruitment of disciples for several major sects. Before participating in the Spirit Testing Ceremony, he ate two Spirit Cleansing Fruits by chance and changed his three spiritual roots into a single spiritual root.

He himself is from the mortal world. It's not that I look down on disciples from the mortal world, but their knowledge is still limited. After entering the sect, he directly became a disciple of the Great Vehicle True Venerable. I guess he is a little arrogant, so his character is naturally worse. "

"What you said makes sense. It's like a poor man who suddenly becomes rich and can't find his position for a while. In addition, his advancement in cultivation was too smooth, which led to his flawed character and allowed the evil cultivator to take advantage of him."

Lianyi said very objectively.

"Indeed, it seems that in the future, when the sect recruits disciples, it will still need to pay more attention to their character."

Someone responded immediately.

Soon after, these words were heard by Mahayana Zhenzun who led the Mingdao Sect. Although he felt uncomfortable, he also knew that the rumors were true. He could only sigh, thinking that the sect had lost a good seedling after all.
