As soon as Long Fei Ye finished speaking, Gu Beiyue interjected, "It should be on top of the cliff. Your Highness, I'll go with you tonight to investigate."
The agitated Gu finally remembered how he, Han Yunxi, and Long Fei Ye had been forced to the edge of a cliff in order to escape the fire. They'd almost fallen into the abyss.
That was the first time in his life that someone had stayed by his side. He finally calmed down.
Saving people didn't just require hot-bloodedness, but a calm heart as well.
"Find all the exits and block them all!" Gu ordered Cold.
This guy isn't the least bit stupid when he calms down. Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue had the exact same idea. Even if they sent all their men to surround Clearbreeze Peak, it still wasn't safe. After all, the mountain was too big to guard against. But if they could find all the exits of the underground palace and set up an ambush, they'd be able to do twice the work with half the effort.
That night, Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue personally went to the Black Forest where the Poison Sect's sacrificial altar was and flew up to the cliff face of Clearbreeze Peak.
Only people of Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue's caliber could fly up such a tall, impenetrable wall. On one hand, they had to be on guard against being discovered. On the other, they had to search for hidden caves and cliffs.
They spent the whole night searching the immeasurably tall cliff that stretched for almost a thousand meters and found that there was only one exit on the cliff.
Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue didn't return to Medical City. Instead, they had Gu and Tang Li come with them.
"Tang Li, you and Gu Beiyue will go in through this cave. Gu and I will go up the mountain and enter through the tree hole. Remember, move out as soon as the sun rises! "Long Fei Ye instructed.
Although Tang Li's martial arts were average compared to theirs, Tang Li had plenty of hidden weapons that were impossible to guard against. Moreover, Ning Jing was here, so he had to save her personally!
Long Fei Ye wasn't worried about leaving Tang Li to Gu Beiyue. Gu Beiyue's speed at evading attacks and escaping was unparalleled. It was impossible for him to hurt Bai Yanqing on his own, but it wouldn't be easy for Bai Yanqing to hurt or poison him either.
Long Feiye wasn't familiar with poisons, but with an undying Gu Qishao by his side, it was enough to deal with Bai Yanqing's poisons. If they ran into Bai Yanqing, Gu would be in charge of keeping Bai Yanqing busy while he went to save the others.
Splitting up was also a safety precaution. After all, both entrances could be guarded. If they were discovered, Bai Yanqing would be hard-pressed to deal with two people at once. As long as one of them kept Bai Yanqing busy, the other pair would have a chance to save the others or even launch a sneak attack.
Long Feiye also instructed Chu Xifeng to wait until daybreak for them to make their move. Then he'd immediately deploy all of his men at the foot of the mountain to lie in ambush at the two entrances, while maintaining the ambush outside Medical City.
He left Tang Li to Gu Beiyue while he and Gu circled around the mountain. They snuck all the way to the tree hole that Gu Beiyue had discovered and set up an ambush!
There were only two hours left before the sun rose.
These two hours were the dark night before the arrival of the common people. For the four of them, this was the longest wait they'd ever had.
For Long Fei Ye, what he was waiting for was Han Yunxi's confident smile and the little fellow in Han Yunxi's womb that he'd been waiting for the most.
For Gu Beiyue, what he was waiting for was the accusation on his shoulders and the protection in his heart.
For Gu, what he was waiting for was the phrase "Poison lass."
For Tang Li, what he was waiting for was a confession that he owed Ning Jing a long time ago, a confession that he and Ning Jing shared the truest words between them.
What were Han Yunxi and the rest doing now?
Han Yunxi had already woken up. Although Fourth Young Miss Ren said she could get out of bed now, she was still very cautious and continued to lie flat all day.
During the three months in the dark room, she hadn't been able to cultivate her poison storage space at all. She hadn't even been able to sense Lil Thing's existence.
However, ever since she'd spread the news, she'd felt much more at ease. These days, she'd been lying down with nothing to do, so she'd been cultivating with her eyes closed. As soon as she calmed down, she'd immediately sense Lil Thing's existence and could even feel Lil Thing's irritable mood.
Actually, there wasn't much room for improvement even if she cultivated now. She just wanted to cultivate a little more so that she could be a little closer to advancing.
What was the turning point for advancement?
Fourth Young Miss Ren had been anxious at first, but after a few days, she'd gotten used to life here and was now sound asleep.
Ning Jing was locked up alone in a secret room. Previously, Su Xiaoyu had cheated Bai Yanqing out of good food and a lot of nourishing herbs. If she hadn't rested for a few days, who knew if she would have died in the forest at Tiger's Prison?
Later, Bai Yanqing found out that Su Xiaoyu didn't know the whereabouts of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, and the two of them had almost been killed. Even with a knife on their necks, Su Xiaoyu still believed that Bai Yanqing wouldn't kill them.
She didn't understand at the time, but now it seemed that Bai Yanqing had already planned to kidnap Han Yunxi back then. He'd wanted to use the two of them to threaten Han Yunxi to be obedient.
Although she was still alive, she was still very weak. She couldn't even stand for a little longer. She'd faint, and her legs were especially sore.
She leaned against the corner and gently licked her teeth. She was extremely disappointed. She'd almost forgotten how she'd dressed up as a man before she got married, and how high-spirited she'd been. However, she didn't regret meeting Tang Li, nor did she regret giving birth to Tang Li's daughter.
Apart from missing Tang Li, she missed her daughter even more. She'd only held her daughter a few times ever since she'd been born. Newborns were different every day. It had already been a few months. What had her daughter become? Could it be that she couldn't recognize her? Had her daughter started to recognize people? Did she still remember being hugged and fed by her mother? Did she still remember that she had a mother?
Every night, Ning Jing's mind would appear that tender little face. She couldn't help but cry. She cried until her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were broken.
Su Xiaoyu was actually locked up next to Ning Jing's. The stone room was sealed, so she couldn't hear Ning Jing's cries. She also didn't know that Ning Jing was right next to her. Compared to Ning Jing's disappointment, she was in a very good state.
She firmly believed that her master had the ability to send the news out. At the same time, she'd begun to think about how to use Bai Yanqing's immortal body to research new torture methods after capturing Bai Yanqing. She wouldn't be satisfied until she'd researched hundreds and thousands of torture methods! Of course, before researching new torture methods, she had to let Ning Jing take her revenge and let Bai Yanqing have a taste of having his teeth pulled out!
With Su Xiaoyu's temper and personality, there was no telling if anyone would dare to marry her when she grew up.
In this underground palace, there were two other people who were imprisoned. One was Mu Qingwu, while the other was Duanmu Yao.
Ever since Mu Qingwu was kidnapped, he'd been locked up in three different places before ending up in this underground palace. Even now, he had no idea who had kidnapped him, or that Cloud Realm Continent had already experienced war and peace. Nor did he know that his Mu family was a descendant of the Li Clan. Because of their past mistakes and his father's wrath, the Li Clan had been destroyed by the Long Fei Ye. Now, even the Li Clan members who'd escaped didn't dare to reveal their identities for fear of becoming public enemies.
Mu Qingwu had lived a magnanimous, independent, and upright life. If he knew the cruel truth and the unbearable past of his own clan, how would he feel?
Besides the people who delivered his three meals a day, no one else had come to visit him since he was imprisoned. He'd asked countless times who his kidnappers were and why, but the people who delivered his meals never said a word.
After so long, he almost felt like a hostage who'd been forgotten by the kidnappers.
That's right, Mu Qingwu had lost all value to Bai Yanqing. Fortunately, he was forgotten. Otherwise, Bai Yanqing would've ordered people to cut off all three meals a day. Mu Qingwu would've starved to death!
Duanmu Yao had been forgotten as well.
If she had any brains at all, she wouldn't have handed Third Honored Elder over to Bai Yanqing. Unfortunately, she had no brains at all!
Now that the Heretical Sword Sect had been destroyed and Celestial Mountain restored order, what use did she have to Bai Yanqing? After she handed Third Honored Elder over to Bai Yanqing and her men in the capital kidnapped Mu Qingwu, she became one of Bai Yanqing's discarded pawns.
When Bai Yanqing locked up Han Yunxi in this underground palace, she stupidly asked Bai Yanqing to hand over Han Yunxi to her. From then on, she was locked up in a secret room. No matter how much she kicked up a fuss, Bai Yanqing never saw her again.
If Bai Yanqing hadn't forgotten about her, she would've starved to death long ago. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse that she hadn't starved to death!
Currently, Bai Yanqing was drinking wine with Hao San in the stone room next to Han Yunxi's room.
"Master, what do you plan to do once Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye turn against each other?" Hao San had been hiding this question in his heart for a long time.
His master had lived his entire life for the sake of love and hatred, but he'd never made any plans for himself.
Bai Yanqing didn't reply, but poured the entire cup of wine into his mouth before slamming it against the stone table. Although he ignored Hao San, the man's question stirred up great waves in his heart.
After taking revenge on Mu Xin's daughter and Mu Xin, what then? What else could he do? If he didn't die or perish, where would he go in the endless years to come?
Hao San hesitated for a long time before he probed, "Master, once Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye kill each other and die, there'll be no master left in this world!"
Hao San had always hoped that his master could seize the world so he could enjoy a high official's salary, glory, splendor, wealth, and rank above all others!
Hao San's hint was so obvious but it was a pity that Bai Yanqing didn't take it to heart! He sneered, "Only a masterless world is interesting!"
A masterless world would be a world of war, destitute and homeless, plagues and plagues, where the people had no way to make a living!
A trace of helplessness flashed past Hao San's eyes, but he didn't make a sound.
At this moment, the sky outside was already bright and the sun had risen.
Long Fei Ye and Gu, Gu Beiyue and Tang Li entered the underground palace almost at the same time. Not long after they entered the underground palace, they met with the first obstacle, which was exactly the same.
This obstacle was …..
