Other than Mu Ling'er, everyone present recognized this voice, but no one expected that this person would enter the sinkhole.
Gu's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked towards the dark path beside him. He muttered to himself suspiciously, "Poison Girl is here too."
Even if they successfully passed through the hundreds of traps, it wouldn't be easy to catch the poison beast. The last stage was the most dangerous, so he didn't ask Han Yunxi to come down with him.
This girl doesn't know any martial arts, so who did she come with?
Thinking of this, Gu unconsciously looked down at his feet. Long Fei Ye and Tang Li were still trapped down there. Who else could Han Yunxi, who had no relatives or friends in Medical City, have come with?
As soon as she heard the words "Poison Girl," Mu Ling'er pouted, her displeasure written all over her face. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her.
Han Yunxi emerged from the shadows, followed by a white-robed, masked man. One in front and one in back, Han Yunxi walked calmly and unhurriedly, while the white-robed man's steps were light and slow. His entire being emanated the warmth of an April spring breeze. No one would have guessed that Han Yunxi had been kidnapped, but assumed that this white-robed man was her personal guard.
Actually, Han Yunxi hadn't encountered any difficulties while following the white-robed man.
Their journey was very smooth. Originally, the man in white wanted to turn to the other side, but her detoxification system detected hundreds of poisons here. Many of them were from ancient times, and the detoxification system only recorded them, not collected them.
She said that she wanted to come over and take a look, and the man in white actually agreed, so she didn't hold back. Who knew that she would see Gu about to be split in half as soon as she arrived?
When she saw Han Yunxi walk out, Duanmu Yao wanted to hold back, but she couldn't help it. Cold, she said, "Han Yunxi, enemies really do meet on a narrow road."
Duanmu Yao had kept track of everything from Pill Fiend Valley's teasing and humiliation in Tianning's capital city. She was the closed door disciple of the Celestial Mountain Sword Sect and the princess of the first wife of Western Zhou, but she'd been belittled time and time again by this lowly woman. Even her marriage alliance had been rejected because of this woman. Now that she'd come all the way here without Long Feiye around, how could she leave the matter at that?
"When did Western Zhou's princess get together with Northern Li's Duke of Kang? Does Western Zhou's emperor know? "Han Yunxi was very surprised.
She recalled how Tang Li had said that Jun Yi Xie had been rescued by a white-robed woman with formidable swordsmanship.
After all, Western Zhou and Tianning were allied by marriage! Western Zhou and Tianning had always been enemies of Northern Li!
Even if Duanmu Yao couldn't marry Long Feiye, Western Zhou and Tianning had already signed an agreement to defend their borders together. Was Duanmu Yao's way of doing things on her own, or was there some shady business going on between Western Zhou and Northern Li?
"If I silence you, that old man will never know!" Duanmu Yao was overbearing and aggressive. Judging from the current situation, she'd definitely be able to kill Han Yunxi without Long Feiye here.
Hearing this, Han Yunxi knew that Duanmu Yao was secretly seducing Jun Yi Xie. Unwilling to be outdone, she said, "If you can't silence this wangfei, then I'll let all of Cloud Realm Continent know about this."
"Just try it!" Duanmu Yao raged as she raised her sword to attack.
Unexpectedly, Jun Yi Xie walked over and shielded her with a warning look. Duanmu Yao and Jun Yi Xie might be partners, but she still feared him. She only gave a soft snort and didn't say a word.
"Han Yunxi, just what kind of poison did you use on your lordship?" Jun Yi Xie asked Cold.
"Just like Bone Poison, there's no antidote."
Han Yunxi's serious expression made Jun Yi Xie feel unwell all over.
Jun Yi Xie had come to Medical City for the poison beast as well. He'd come early because he couldn't cure the poison in his arm, nor could he deal with Han Yunxi. Thus, he could only take the risk to find the poison beast's blood.
"Since that's the case, then your lordship has no need to keep you alive." Jun Yi Xie was truly ruthless this time. He'd been like this ever since he was a child. If he couldn't get his hands on something no matter how hard he tried, he'd rather destroy it!
Once again, he raised his Frostmoon Saber, its light flickering with a frightening chill. Seeing this, Duanmu Yao impatiently unsheathed her sword as well. "Duke of Kang, leave this woman to me."
Although she'd been far away from Tianning's capital for the past few months, she'd still been keeping an eye on the Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's movements.
She knew of Han Yunxi's poison skills and assassination weapons, but she'd never taken them seriously. She was certain that as long as she didn't give Han Yunxi a chance to ambush her, this woman would be no match for her!
"No! Your lordship will kill her with his own hands. "
Jun Yi Xie's eyes reflected Han Yunxi's figure as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Han Yunxi realized that Jun Yi Xie's killing intent was real.
Her poisons were no longer a threat to him.
"If you don't get the poison beast's blood, then no one but me will be able to save your hand!" she warned coldly.
"Your lordship must get the poison beast's blood!"
Jun Yi Xie was very confident. As soon as he sensed Han Yunxi's vigilance, he began to inch closer. As soon as he did, Gu reached out to grab Han Yunxi.
Gu was about to grab Han Yunxi's hand when Han Yunxi suddenly vanished from his sight.
Where did she go?
Gu reflexively turned back, only to see Han Yunxi being pulled behind his back by the masked man.
What incredible speed!
Gu exclaimed in his heart. Jun Yi Xie abruptly stopped in his tracks. "You're from the Shadow Clan?"
Only the Shadow Clan's Shadow Technique, which was not taught to outsiders, could allow one's Qing Gong to reach this level of perfection!
The Great Qin Empire that once unified Cloud Realm Continent had two imperial clans, Eastern and Western Qin, as well as the Seven Noble Families. The Shadow Clan was one of the Seven Noble Families who were responsible for protecting the Western Qin imperial clan.
Rumors said that the Shadow Clan protected their clan with their lives and had never failed to fulfill their duties, much less betray them.
Following the fall of the Great Qin Empire and its imperial clan, the Seven Noble Families gradually disappeared without a trace. He never expected to see the shadow arts again today!
As soon as he heard the name, Gu realized that the speed just then had been due to the shadow arts. If this white-robed man was protecting Han Yunxi, could it be …
"So, she's the orphan of the Western Qin imperial clan?" Duanmu Yao suddenly exclaimed. She couldn't accept this reality!
After all, the Great Qin Empire was a legend in Cloud Realm Continent. The East and Western Qin imperial clans were the true imperial clans in the hearts of the people. They were truly worthy of submission and worship!
Compared to the Great Qin imperial clan, the three countries weren't even worth a mention.
If Han Yunxi was the real deal, then her last bit of pride would be trampled underfoot!
The white-robed man didn't answer Duanmu Yao's question directly. He looked gentle and mild, but he didn't give anyone face.
He didn't even spare Jun Yi Xie or Gu a glance before turning to Han Yunxi and saying, "I asked you to pave the way for me, not cause trouble."
Everyone exhaled in relief at his words. It looked like Han Yunxi wasn't the orphan of the Western Qin imperial clan after all.
If she was, then it wouldn't be easy to touch her with the Shadow Clan's protection.
Han Yunxi had never heard of the Shadow Clan, East Qin, or Western Qin. She only knew that she couldn't let Jun Yi Xie and Duanmu Yao get their hands on the poison beast.
"Help me kill them. Otherwise, I won't go with you."
Han Yunxi said this and her body nimbly flashed to Gu's side. Gu was happy and quickly reached out to protect Han Yunxi. He smiled at the white-robed man and said, "Kill them and I'll go with you."
This fellow was so shameless. Even Han Yunxi felt embarrassed for him.
The white-robed man treated Gu like air. He looked at Han Yunxi with gentle eyes and a gentle voice, "I'll try."
He said he wanted to try?
Why did such a gentle voice, such a humble answer, sound so arrogant?
He turned to look at Jun Yi Xie and Duanmu Yao. Duanmu Yao immediately retreated. She was confident in her sword skills, but she wasn't confident in her speed!
Speed was the only thing that couldn't be broken in this world. The Shadow Technique didn't have anything else other than "speed".
The Shadow Technique was only the basics. Martial arts based on this foundation were fast, no matter what kind of martial arts they used. Their attacks were fast, and their dodges were fast.
In other words, no matter how powerful their martial arts were or how profound their inner strength was, if they weren't fast enough, they wouldn't be able to beat him.
Right now, it was relatively easy to take advantage of the complicated terrain to escape. Duanmu Yao retreated a few steps. She couldn't care less about Jun Yi Xie. She turned and fled!
"Duanmu Yao, I'll definitely tell Long Fei Ye!"
Han Yunxi shouted. She admitted that she was very naughty. She could poke at Duanmu Yao's sore spot with a single sentence. Of course, if Long Fei Ye was present, she wouldn't have shouted that. She would have just remained silent.
Jun Yi Xie was indignant and anxious, but he also began to retreat step by step.
With Duanmu Yao fleeing, he had no choice but to retreat as well. His arm was heavily injured, and without the assistance of Duanmu Yao's sword skills, he had no confidence in dealing with this mysterious white-robed man.
"Don't let him get away!" Han Yunxi shouted. Duanmu Yao didn't count for anything, but Jun Yi Xie was the real threat to her life.
But the white-robed man only said seriously, "Miss Yunxi, why kill a deserter?"
Cough, cough!
Jun Yi Xie was still retreating. He hadn't even escaped yet! You shouldn't humiliate him like this.
This gentle gentleman, are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?
Even Han Yunxi didn't expect him to say such words, much less say them so seriously.
Jun Yixie was unwilling to accept this to begin with. Now he was so angry that his nostrils were about to spit fire. He raised his broadsword and viciously slashed at the group. His blade glinted brilliantly, shaking the small cave until half of it collapsed.
In the chaos, Jun Yi Xie had long disappeared without a trace.
The white-robed man was the first to protect Han Yunxi. Gu wasn't as fast as him, so he could only watch from the sidelines. Still, he didn't notice that Mu Ling 'er had been staring at him the entire time.
Fortunately, the cave was well-supported and didn't collapse completely, so the exit wasn't blocked off.
"Why did you let him escape?!" Han Yunxi demanded. Didn't this guy say he was going to try? Was he joking?
But the white-robed man was serious. "Miss Yunxi, you're a doctor. Why must you be so ruthless?"
Han Yunxi almost choked on her own saliva at these words. What a wonderful answer! She had no words to retort.
"Can we go now?" the white-robed man quickly gathered his thoughts. He had only one goal in mind this time.
Han Yunxi stole a glance at Gu, who immediately understood with a smile. "Since we've run into each other, let's go together."
Before the white-robed man could say anything, the silent Mu Ling 'er suddenly spoke up. "Qi Brother, if we leave, what will happen to the other two?"
