As soon as Long Fei Ye sensed something amiss, Han Yunxi activated her poison storage space to retrieve the nine poisonous teardrops.
But to her surprise, she couldn't do so.
The nine poisonous teardrops seemed to be controlled by an unknown power, resisting her.
What's going on?
Is it Bai Yanqing?
Han Yunxi looked at Bai Yanqing, only to see that Bai Yanqing was also scanning their surroundings. He looked just as surprised as they were. If it wasn't Bai Yanqing, then who could it be? Was there another Poison Sect orphan? Gu Beiyue and Gu Qishao grew wary as well.
Bai Yanqing was indeed surprised. When Han Yunxi had taken out the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, he'd secretly tried to use his poison storage space to retrieve it. But he'd failed.
There were differences between ranks in the poison storage space, and it was clear that Han Yunxi, who'd just broken through to the third rank, was much stronger than him.
If it wasn't him, who else could it be?
"Take them back."
Long Fei Ye whispered. He carried Han Yunxi into the air, ready to snatch the nine poisonous teardrops. But at that moment, the nine poisonous teardrops suddenly scattered in all directions. At the same time, a group of black-robed men appeared out of thin air.
This …
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were alarmed. Long Fei Ye landed with Han Yunxi in his arms, and Gu Beiyue immediately rushed over.
"Are these people real or fake?" Gu Beiyue whispered.
They were in a barrier, and they weren't familiar with it. It was hard to tell the difference between real and fake in a barrier.
"Who are you people?" Han Yunxi demanded.
The black-robed men surrounded them, but didn't answer.
Unexpectedly, the little thing suddenly flew onto Gu Beiyue's shoulder and jumped around excitedly. It even gestured at Han Yunxi and chirped non-stop.
After Lil Thing's poison beast blood was taken away, all of its cultivation had been ruined. It had already turned back into a little squirrel and couldn't communicate with Mama Yunxi's consciousness.
Han Yunxi didn't understand what Lil Thing was talking about, but she was sure that it was someone that Lil Thing knew.
Could it be that there really was a Poison Sect orphan guarding the Snow Wolf Grave?
Could the Poison Sect orphan who had saved her mother all those years ago be the guardian of the snow wolf's grave?
"Are you the Poison Sect's gravekeepers? I'm also a descendant of the Poison Sect. We have no ill intentions, "Han Yunxi said.
Perhaps this group of people would know how to leave this barrier. Helpless, not only did the black-clothed man not answer her, he lowered his head instead.
What did that mean?
"Squeak squeak … Squeak …" Suddenly, the little thing squeaked, and it was unknown whether it was from excitement or fear.
All it did was hug a tuft of Gu Beiyue's hair as it screeched nonstop.
"The main character is here!"
Long Fei Ye suddenly took to the skies and unsheathed his sword. Very soon, a middle-aged man dressed in white flew towards them from afar.
At first glance, he was clearly on the other side of the snowy mountains, but upon closer inspection, he was right in front of them.
He held nine poison teardrops in one hand while the other rested behind his back. He floated in the air like a god looking down on the crowd.
Although he was middle-aged, there were no wrinkles on his face. Only his arms were a little gray. Still, this didn't affect his handsome looks. His features seemed to have been carved by the heavens themselves, and were indescribably handsome. His cold, black eyes exuded an aura that didn't belong to the mundane world, but kept everyone at a thousand li away. It was a coldness that didn't allow the world to profane or covet him.
He was like the god of this world, the solemn and dignified aura emanating from his body. No one dared to provoke him.
Everyone was stunned by the sight. Even Long Feiye couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence. However, Long Fei Ye didn't shrink back. He raised his sword and pointed it at the man, his voice as cold as ice. "Who are you?
The white-robed man's eyes didn't waver at all. He slowly raised the hand behind his back. His movements were extremely slow, like Tai Chi, but the needles that flew out of his sleeves were extremely fast. They were even faster than Han Yunxi's own needles!
Long Fei Ye didn't dodge, but swung his sword to hit the needles.
A single slash was enough to knock them all out of the way. When the needles fell to the ground, Gu Beiyue looked at them and was shocked. "It's profound gold!"
Profound gold was the rarest material in this world. Aside from the Poison Sect, very few places had it. Even the Poison Sect only had two or three locations.
This man's needles were actually made of profound gold!
The white-robed man seemed surprised that Long Fei Ye had knocked the needles out of the way, but he didn't show it on his face. All he did was give Long Fei Ye a deep look. His well-defined fingers suddenly clenched into a fist.
In an instant, countless needles flew out, three to four times the number from before. All of them were aimed at Long Fei Ye.
"There's poison, be careful!" Han Yunxi shouted.
Long Fei Ye had no choice but to dodge while swinging his sword. Han Yunxi knitted her brows. She wanted to use her poison storage space to take away the needles, but she couldn't do it!
Long Fei Ye was still swinging his needles when the white-robed man unleashed another wave!
Han Yunxi grew even more anxious. The detoxification system told her that the poison in these needles was extremely terrifying. Even if she could detect it, she couldn't cure it!
If Long Fei Ye wasn't careful, he'd die without a doubt!
"Who are you? What are you trying to do? "Han Yunxi roared.
The white-robed man ignored her. Han Yunxi thought, could it be that this guy's poison storage space was of a higher level than hers? So, she couldn't take away his poison?
She didn't believe that this would work. She flew up into the air. She wanted to see if the poison storage space would be able to keep the needles if they were to attack her.
Previously, Bai Yanqing's level was higher than hers. When Bai Yanqing used poison on her, didn't she still manage to take it away?
Using a level two to deal with a level three was an excellent method.
Han Yunxi flew over and hugged Long Fei Ye. Sure enough, all the needles flying towards Long Fei Ye disappeared into thin air, absorbed by Han Yunxi's poison storage space.
Han Yunxi was overjoyed, "I guessed right!"
The white-robed man suddenly stopped and looked at Han Yunxi seriously. After a while, he said two words, "Smart." "Who are you? We have no enmity between us. Why are you trying to kill me? "Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
The white-robed man didn't answer her. He casually waved his hand. His action seemed casual, but the force behind it was surprising. Han Yunxi was actually sent flying.
"You're courting death!"
Long Fei Ye coldly said. He was about to chase after Han Yunxi when he was blocked by an invisible wall. He reached out and pressed against the wall. He couldn't push it away.
A barrier?
"It's a barrier technique!" Gu Beiyue exclaimed. He had already caught Han Yunxi.
"Who are you?" Han Yunxi shouted.
However, the white-robed man ignored them. Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue tried to approach Long Fei Ye. Who knew that Long Fei Ye was actually trapped in an invisible barrier by the white-robed man. They couldn't get close at all.
Han Yunxi pulled out Mo Xie's sword and used her Phoenix power. However, no matter how many times she slashed with her sword, the invisible barrier didn't budge at all.
"Princess, don't disturb the baby!" Gu Beiyue anxiously stopped her.
Long Fei Ye also looked over and shook his head at Han Yunxi.
Lil Thing looked at the white-robed man and became even more excited. It jumped onto Gu Beiyue's shoulder and waved at Han Yunxi with all its might.
At this time, Han Yunxi finally noticed something about Lil Thing.
"You know him?" Han Yunxi asked.
Lil Thing immediately nodded and chattered away. To Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue, it was all just a squeak.
Lil Thing wanted to tell Mama Yunxi that this white-robed middle-aged man had to be her father. He had to be!
This was the man with pure Snow Wolf blood that it had met in the mountains of the Poison Sect. It wanted to submit to him, but he refused and disappeared into the woods. It was nowhere to be found in the mountains and plains.
Although he wasn't young anymore, his looks hadn't changed much. His bloodline wouldn't change either. It had to be him, it couldn't be wrong!
Lil Thing remembered everything and understood why it liked Mama Yunxi so much. Because Mama Yunxi had pure Snow Wolf blood in her too!
That old thing Bai Yanqing wasn't Mama Yunxi's father, but this man was!
"Princess, this person has to be more capable than you and His Highness. Let's see what he's planning," Gu Beiyue murmured.
Han Yunxi had no choice but to wait and see. She shouted at Long Fei Ye, "You have to be careful. I can't cure the poison in those needles either."
"I know," Long Fei Ye's gaze never left the white-robed man as he stood on guard.
As expected, the white-robed man shot out more needles. This time, the needles blotted out the sky and covered the earth, making it impossible to defend against them.
Long Feiye stopped swinging his sword, but raised it high above his head. In a flash, the Lustbite energy erupted from the blade to form a massive ring of energy that exploded outwards in an intimidating manner.
In a flash, all of the needles were knocked aside. Some of them scattered in all directions while the rest shot towards the white-robed man.
The white-robed man remained standing in the air, unperturbed. Even when the needles were right in front of him, he didn't move a muscle. As soon as the needles touched his body, they vanished without a trace, returning to his poison storage space.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi and the rest exhaled in relief. But the white-robed man suddenly flew towards Long Fei Ye and began to fight bare-handed with Long Fei Ye.
Their fists collided with each other, but it wasn't clear who had knocked the other aside. In any case, Long Fei Ye was sent flying while the white-robed man retreated a few steps.
Long Fei Ye's lips rose to a cold smile. "You're a gentleman."
If the white-robed man had poisoned him at such close range, he would've lost his life long ago. But the white-robed man didn't. He really was fighting bare-handed.
He liked this kind of contest!
The white-robed man still didn't say anything. His expression was so cold that no one could guess what he was thinking. Long Feiye had finally met someone who cherished his words like gold and didn't show his emotions on his face. Regardless of whether he was friend or foe, he still admired this kind of person.
Long Fei Ye placed the Ganjiang sword on his back. Seeing this, the white-robed man immediately attacked. Long Fei Ye decisively accepted the challenge.
Both of their fists were very hard and very fast. One attacked, one blocked, one fought. Very soon, they had exchanged a few rounds. Surprisingly, they were evenly matched.
