Han Yunxi and the rest waited in the cave for Gu Beiyue to arrive while asking around for information on Tianshan Kenzō and the Evil Sword School.
Actually, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi didn't think much of the Evil Sword School. Their main concern was whether or not Bai Yanqing was on the mountain.
"I've only seen the Evil Sword School's leader once. He had his face covered, and I saw him from a distance. I couldn't see his face clearly, "Chu Xifeng thought back, then said with certainty," He should be over 50 years old. "
"He's been on the mountain this entire time?" Han Yunxi asked.
Chu Xifeng couldn't be sure. "I haven't seen him since they attacked the peak. Long Fei Ye glanced at Gu and said Cold, "You keep watch tonight. I'll go scout the way first."
Chu Xifeng had limited information, so it was better to go up the mountain himself instead of making wild guesses here.
"You keep watch, I'll go."
He'd already told Long Feiye he was supposed to be a guard, but Gu Qishao had never listened to him properly!
"You've been up Celestial Mountain before?" Long Fei Ye asked unhappily.
Gu had no retort, but reluctantly replied, "Go ahead, I'll keep watch!"
Actually, Gu wasn't as smart as Han Yunxi, because Han Yunxi wanted to go as well, but she didn't say a word.
Late at night, Long Fei Ye left. Han Yunxi tried to sneak after him.
Gu quickly stopped her. "Poison lass, it's dangerous."
Han Yunxi looked back and gave him a pitiful, pleading look.
Gu's heart immediately melted. "Poison lass, hurry and chase after him. Otherwise, it'll be even more dangerous if you can't catch up."
In this way, Han Yunxi quickly caught up with Long Fei Ye. Since she was already here, how could Long Fei Ye chase her away? Moreover, Han Yunxi was no longer a burden, but a capable assistant!
There were a total of five mountains in the Tianshan Mountain range. From the south to the north, it was like a staircase. One mountain was next to another, and each was higher than the last. The fifth mountain in the north was the Tianshan Mountain, and its peak was the peak of the Tianshan Mountain.
Because of the terrain, there was only one way to reach the top of Sky Mountain. This road ran from south to north through the entire Tianshan Mountain range.
In short, to reach the top of Tianshan Mountain, one had to climb Mount Wuchong.
The cave that Han Yunxi and the others were hiding in was on the shady side of the first mountain. At this moment, they had taken a detour to the front of the mountain.
The only way to find out about the situation on the mountain was up there.
Just like the first time they came here, Long Fei Ye hugged Han Yunxi's waist tightly and protected her in his arms.
Perhaps Long Fei Ye was too familiar with this place, so he easily reached the first mountain with Han Yunxi under his protection. No one noticed them.
However, along the way, he sensed that there were ambushes around them.
Han Yunxi was puzzled. There were so many Tianshan Kenzō disciples. How did the Evil Sword School manage to control them? In terms of numbers, the Evil Sword School disciples were far inferior to the Tianshan disciples.
Even if the three elders of the Sutra Pavilion, Hidden Sword Pavilion, and Lockheart Yard betrayed them, it was a matter of Tianshan Mountain! From the first to the fourth mountain, there were many branches of Tianshan Kenzō. These branches had a large number of disciples, and they did not belong to any pavilion or yard.
How did the Evil Sword School manage to control them? How did they stop the news from spreading?
Just as Han Yunxi was puzzled, the detoxification system gave her an answer.
When Long Fei Ye brought her near the Meteor Sword Pavilion, the detoxification system issued a warning to Han Yunxi that there were many poisoned disciples in the pavilion.
"Poison attack …" Han Yunxi muttered to herself.
"What's going on?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Han Yunxi smiled. "If you didn't bring me here tonight, we would have to go there again!"
"Haha, when did the Evil Sword School become the Hundred Poisons Sect?" Long Fei Ye immediately understood what was going on.
If it wasn't for the use of poison, how could Bai Yanqing guarantee that he could control Tianshan Mountain in such a short time and seal off all news?
"Let's go in and take a look. It's too far away. I can't find out what kind of poison they've been poisoned with," Han Yunxi whispered.
The Meteor Sword Pavilion was the largest sword pavilion in Tianshan Mountain's first peak. In recent years, it had produced many outstanding disciples. The reason why Long Fei Ye chose this sword pavilion was because the pavilion master, Yin Niang, had a good relationship with Granny You from the Commandment Courtyard at the peak of Tianshan Mountain. They were like sisters. Most of the outstanding disciples in the Meteor Sword Pavilion had been promoted by Granny You. Very few of them entered the Hidden Sword Pavilion or the Scripture Pavilion, much less Lockheart Courtyard.
Others might not tell the truth, but Yin Niang and Granny You were the same. They would definitely tell the truth and not betray Kenzō.
Before she even entered, the detoxification system gave Han Yunxi an answer.
"Long Fei Ye, it's the Traceless Poison." Han Yunxi said seriously. "This poison can only be put in water. It will linger for a day before it activates. Once it activates, the victim will fall unconscious. If the poison isn't cured within seven months, the victim will fall unconscious and die. "
Poisoning the water source was the most energy-efficient method. Even if they didn't drink water, they would still have to eat. In short, they couldn't live without someone. No wonder everyone was poisoned at the same time!
"Bai Yanqing wants to destroy Kenzō?" Long Fei Ye was alarmed.
It had been six months since the tenth month of last year. In other words, if they had arrived a month later, all of the branches beneath Celestial Mountain would have been destroyed!
No wonder the two Depositories and one Courtyard at the peak were working with the Evil Sword School. Back when Cang Qiuzi was still the head of Lockheart Courtyard, the Scripture and Sword Pavilions had long conspired with him to form their own factions.
Bai Yanqing's actions were exactly what they wanted.
When Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao had colluded, Long Fei Ye had severely injured him and locked him up in the dungeons. No one had ever been convicted, because once Cang Qiuzi was convicted, Kenzō would have to investigate Han Yunxi's identity as a descendant of the Poison Sect.
For the sake of protecting Han Yunxi, he'd had to endure Medical City's pressure to delay the trial.
Back then, Kenzō had released news that the trial would be delayed until Long Fei Ye inherited the position of sect head. Only then would Cang Qiuzi, Duanmu Yao, and the rest be tried. Unfortunately, Long Fei Ye had left the mountain and delayed the trial until now. But after Cang Qiuzi was imprisoned, Kenzō hadn't promoted anyone from Lockheart Courtyard to the position of head. Instead, he'd let Cang Qiuzi's disciples fight amongst themselves. Now it looked like there was no internal strife in Lockheart Courtyard.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had always assumed that Bai Yanqing would hide in the Poison Sect or Northern Li. They never expected Bai Yanqing to target Celestial Mountain instead.
But they didn't understand why Bai Yanqing wanted the martial arts circles. Had he forced the three Honored Elders to subdue Ganjiang for the sake of Evil Sword School, or had other motives?
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi grew more and more puzzled. They snuck into Meteor Sword Depository and soon discovered that there were only three or four Evil Sword School disciples standing guard inside. Inside the great hall, more than 30 disciples were lying unconscious on the ground.
Such weak defenses made it easy for Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye to sneak inside. For the sake of not alerting the enemy too early, they didn't kill any of the guards.
The two of them landed on one of the beams of the great hall and looked down at the floor full of unconscious people.
"Is Bai Yanqing so sure that we won't go to Celestial Mountain?" Han Yunxi asked doubtfully.
"He has control of all the secret missives, so it'll be easy for him to guard against us," Long Fei Ye remarked.
If Chu Xifeng hadn't stolen the missives, Bai Yanqing would have known they were going to Celestial Mountain half a month ago. Half a month was more than enough time for Bai Yanqing to set up an inescapable net!
"Thanks to Chu Xifeng's first-class merit!" Han Yunxi grinned.
She found a good vantage point and activated her detox system to do a thorough inspection. Even though she had already found out that he was poisoned when she was outside the hall, but for the sake of caution, she still kept an eye on him and checked him carefully.
"Be good and stay here. I'll go find Madam Yin," Long Fei Ye murmured.
This time, Han Yunxi was obedient.
She'd just finished her inspection and confirmed that there was only one type of poison in the great hall when Long Fei Ye returned.
"Madam Yin's in the back courtyard. There's someone watching over her," Long Fei Ye murmured back.
"Let's go take a look first," Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with shrewd light as she came up with a plan.
By the time Long Fei Ye led Han Yunxi to Madam Yin, they couldn't get very close, but they could see her lying unconscious on a bamboo bed from a distance. There were three guards standing guard outside the door, including one from Lockheart Courtyard.
"Can you find out what kind of poison she's been poisoned with?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Han Yunxi immediately gave him an answer. "It's a never-ending poison. It's similar to Traceless Poison. Once poisoned, she'll lose consciousness. But the toxicity is much stronger. Someone must have poisoned her. "
"You have an antidote?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Long Fei Ye shook his head. "It's not the right time yet."
Han Yunxi smiled. "Then when is the right time?"
"Call the poison guards over and join forces with Gu Beiyue to save her. When the time comes, we'll go straight to the top of the mountain," Long Fei Ye said seriously.
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye and smiled foolishly. She was just about to do that!
Since Bai Yanqing's defense at the foot of the mountain was so weak, there was no need for them to waste time here. It didn't matter if Bai Yanqing was at the top of Sky Mountain or not. They could just attack directly!
If Bai Yanqing was here, then they'd fight to their heart's content. If Bai Yanqing wasn't here, then it'd be even better!
The two of them had the same idea, so there was no need for further discussion.
Han Yunxi smiled as she patted her medical bag. "Don't worry, there's an antidote anytime!"
With Han Yunxi's words, Long Fei Ye was of course completely relieved.
After understanding the situation at Meteor Sword Court, Long Fei Ye brought Han Yunxi to Heavenly Sea Court and the other sword courts. They spent the whole night walking through more than thirty sword courts in the first and second mountains. They found that all the sword courts were in the same situation as Meteor Sword Court. Whether it was the court master or the disciples, they were all unconscious due to poison. The poison in the court master and the disciple was different.
If it were any other poison master, they would definitely go crazy if they had to check six different poisons in one night and make an antidote.
However, this was a piece of cake for Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi didn't even need to remember it. The detoxification system automatically recorded it for her.
The third and fourth mountains weren't easy to walk through. In order not to alert the enemy, they were very cautious. It took them four nights to walk through all the sword courts in the third and fourth mountains. As Han Yunxi predicted, the conditions on the third and fourth mountains were the same as the first and second mountains.
Just like that, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye spent five nights exploring half of Celestial Mountain and preparing their antidotes.
Next, they waited for Gu Beiyue and the poison guards to arrive.
Chu Xifeng was seriously injured and couldn't cultivate, so he could only rest and recuperate. Meanwhile, Han Yunxi used this time to calm down and cultivate her poison storage space.
They assumed that Gu Beiyue would take at least ten days to arrive, but who knew …
