Long Fei Ye and the others clearly remembered that this abyss was completely sealed off aside from the exit at the very top. There were no secret passages or traps.
"After him!"
Long Fei Ye didn't want to let Bai Yanqing escape again. Han Yunxi and the others had the same idea.
Gu was the first to give chase, followed closely by Gu Beiyue, Han Yunxi, and Long Fei Ye.
However, they didn't go far before they fell into darkness and lost all control.
No matter how hard they tried to fly up, they couldn't. It was as if a mysterious force was pulling them down.
What kind of place was down there?
Long Fei Ye held Han Yunxi tightly while Gu's vines wrapped around Gu Beiyue and the two of them to ensure that they wouldn't be separated.
It really didn't feel like they'd fallen, but more like they'd entered some kind of formation. However, Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue knew that this wasn't a formation.
No one could explain what kind of place they'd fallen into. What was Bai Yanqing's situation?
Was Bai Yanqing familiar with this place?
Seeing that there weren't any threats around them, Han Yunxi relaxed a little. She murmured, "Bai Yanqing probably doesn't know about this exit, or he would've escaped long ago."
"Princess, this subordinate has been watching him the entire time, but I didn't see him trigger any traps. This … is very likely a coincidence, "Gu Beiyue hastily said.
"No matter where this place is, it's still the Poison Sect's territory! Poison lass, you're still a descendant of the Poison Sect, but you're not even familiar with your own territory? "Gu wasn't complaining, but teasing Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi was about to speak when she suddenly blurted out, "Lil Thing …"
"What is it?"
Long Fei Ye was a little nervous, thinking that the little thing could help Han Yunxi advance. Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi said, "The little thing is in pain. It's crying …"
Han Yunxi had also sensed Lil Thing's presence earlier and knew that Lil Thing was very happy. She even imagined that with Lil Thing's temperament, it would definitely be jumping up and down in Bai Yanqing's poison storage space.
However, at this moment, she could feel the little thing's intense sadness.
What's wrong with the little thing?
Even if they let Bai Yanqing escape, Lil Thing shouldn't be so sad!
"What's wrong with that little toy?" Gu asked curiously. Yes, the little thing was too small. In Gu's eyes, it was like a small toy.
"What's wrong with the little guy? Could it be … related to this place? Does it recognize this place? "Gu Beiyue asked with concern.
"It's possible," Han Yunxi agreed with Gu Beiyue's guess.
Perhaps it was because she was connected to Lil Thing's thoughts and was infected by its feelings, but Han Yunxi suddenly felt a little sad as well.
She silently prayed in her heart that they wouldn't fall into a bad place.
But right now, Lil Thing was crying.
It had already transformed into a little squirrel and curled itself up into a little ball, sobbing quietly in the darkness of the poison storage space.
Grief filled the entire poison storage space. In the darkness, Lil Thing seemed tiny, lonely, and helpless.
It had lived for too long, so long that it had forgotten its past, its parents, how it had grown up, and how it had come to be. It had even forgotten how it had ended up in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds.
Lil Thing didn't remember either. It only knew that since it followed Mama Yunxi, it had to protect her for the rest of its life. It only knew that since it liked the gentleman, it had to like him for the rest of its life.
Lil Thing's life was eternal.
Even if Mama Yunxi and the gentleman left one day, Lil Thing would still like them. Even if Lil Thing lived for so long that it forgot everything, it would still remember them.
But when Bai Yanqing fell and fell all the way down, the familiar scent of Lil Thing's aura grew stronger and stronger. It didn't need to think about it anymore.
Lil Thing didn't need to try to remember, because those memories that it had deliberately forgotten began to surface in its mind.
In those memories.
Back then, it was very, very small. When it was a snow wolf, it was about the size of this squirrel. Back then, it was still a cub.
It was a sacred beast worshipped by the blood wolves, an undying poison snow wolf. They lived carefree in the forests of the Poison Sect.
But that day, someone used a mysterious force to slaughter all the snow wolves. Lil Thing hid in the Skypit and escaped by luck.
It never knew why it liked the Skypit so much, or why it waited there for its master to come. As it turned out, the Poison Sect's Skypit was its refuge!
In the fragments of its memories, it saw swords rising and falling, splattering blood everywhere. Snow wolves fell one by one to the ground in a heap of corpses.
Lil Thing was scared out of its wits. It didn't even dare to make a sound as it turned tail and ran, diving into the Skypit to hide.
That massacre happened a long, long time ago. Back then, the Poison Sect didn't even exist!
Before the Poison Sect appeared, the Skypit in the mountains of the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds was the territory of the snow wolves. A group of people who worshipped the snow wolves lived there. They called themselves the Snow Wolf Clan. They have the ability of the poison storage space, and through the cultivation of the poison storage space, they can obtain extremely high poison skills.
After the snow wolves were slaughtered, they changed their names and hid in the mountains of the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds, rarely appearing in public. They erected wordless steles in the western forests as a memorial to the snow wolves. Then they built a sacrificial altar to worship them every year.
Lil Thing was already sobbing uncontrollably at the memory, its tiny body trembling nonstop.
It remembered. It remembered everything.
It was Lil Thing who told the Blood Wolf Clan about the Poison Gu humans. It was Lil Thing who led the Snow Wolf Clan to dig up ten stalks of poison grass in the Skypit. The Blood Wolf Clan had eaten those poisonous grasses to obtain an undying body. Those poisonous grasses needed three hundred years to bloom and bear fruit, and another three hundred years to ripen.
The Snow Wolf Clan had planted those ten stalks of poison grass in the glazed walls of the sacrificial altar. Bai Yanqing had used those ten stalks of poison grass to cultivate his undying body!
Later on, the Snow Wolf Clan's population dwindled, and the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds was taken over by Medical City. Once Medical City was established, it split off from the Poison Sect and took over the entire back mountain.
The daughter of the Snow Wolf Clan secretly married the head of the Poison Sect, forming the Poison Sect. Together, they ruled over the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. With the Snow Wolf Clan's help, the Poison Sect began to plant poison grass in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. Gradually, the Poison Sect began to develop.
Lil Thing also grew up and became mentally connected with the Snow Wolf Clan. It could enter the Snow Wolf Clan's poison storage space to cultivate. Lil Thing used to be a god worshipped by the Snow Wolf Clan, but it was reduced to the Poison Sect's poison beast and became infamous.
Later on, its master died of old age while Lil Thing lived on forever.
Lil Thing watched as several of its masters left and went into hiding in grief. But one day, Lil Thing returned to the Poison Sect to find that it had been destroyed. The people of Medical City captured Lil Thing everywhere, so Lil Thing decided to stay obediently in the Sky Pit. One day, Lil Thing ran all over the mountain and discovered that there were still orphans of the Poison Sect. Lil Thing remembered that one of the two people was Bai Yanqing. Even now, Lil Thing didn't know who the other one was.
However, Lil Thing was certain that the other person had the purest blood of the Blood Wolf Clan. Bai Yanqing was only a direct descendant of the Poison Sect, a descendant of the Blood Wolf Clan and the Poison Sect.
After the Snow Wolf Clan and the Poison Sect's direct descendants intermarried, the Snow Wolf Clan no longer existed. The two clans shared the name of the Poison Sect.
Later generations of the Poison Sect's direct descendants were all descendants of the Snow Wolf Clan and the Poison Sect's direct descendants. Thus, the Poison Sect's direct descendants also inherited the ability of the poison storage space. However, the later generations didn't know that the Snow Wolf Clan actually had the purest bloodline! The Snow Wolf Clan's direct descendants had far more poison storage spaces than the Poison Sect's direct descendants.
Lil Thing hated the Poison Sect's direct descendants!
Back then, Lil Thing had avoided Bai Yanqing and sought refuge with the Snow Wolf Clan, but was rejected. Lil Thing had no choice but to stay alone in the Sky Pit.
Later on, Mama Yunxi and the gentleman arrived.
Lil Thing's memories ended here, from the time it was a naive little snow wolf until now. Lil Thing remembered everything.
Slowly, it raised its head and transformed into a white wolf. It raised its head and gave a long, mournful howl.
Although Lil Thing couldn't see what was happening outside, it could sense and smell that familiar scent. It was a scent that it missed and feared at the same time.
This passage had been set up by the Snow Wolf Clan in the past. Whether it was the blood of a Snow Wolf Clan member or a direct descendant of the Poison Sect, anyone could open the door.
This passage led to the Snow Wolf Graveyard beneath the sacrificial altar.
Back then, the Snow Wolf Clan members and Lil Thing's parents had all been killed by that mysterious force. They were all buried there, buried in a barrier that allowed them to rest in peace.
Lil Thing didn't know when it had started to forget these things, but it knew that it wasn't truly forgetting them. It would never remember the things it had truly forgotten. It was just trying to forget them on purpose. Because it was too sad to recall them, it was too much to bear. Thus, it could only forget.
If Bai Yanqing hadn't accidentally fallen here, perhaps Lil Thing would never remember these things.
Gradually, Lil Thing quieted down.
It was waiting for Bai Yanqing to fall into the graveyard. Even more than before, it hoped that Mama Yunxi could save it.
It felt like … it wanted to see the place where its clansmen were buried. If a place with its clansmen and parents was home, then this graveyard was its final home.
Bai Yanqing was the first to fall to the ground.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, the darkness vanished, to be replaced by a grassy plain and a snowy mountain in the distance.
Bai Yanqing was covered in pain and wounds, but his mind was still clear.
He knew that this was either a barrier or an array formation. There was no way he could see the sky from the underground palace.
He was bewildered. He'd spent so many years exploring the Poison Sect, but he didn't even know of this place's existence. What was this place? Was it a barrier or an array formation that he couldn't see through?
Bai Yanqing couldn't see through it, but he didn't have time to think.
He looked around and saw a forest, so he immediately ran over.
Long Fei Ye and the rest would definitely chase after him. No matter where he was, he had to hide first.
But by the time Bai Yanqing reached the forest, he was stunned!
He saw rows upon rows of wordless steles, identical to the ones on the Poison Sect's sacrificial altar. The only difference was that each stele had two fangs hanging from it.
This was a graveyard!
