Although the white-robed man hadn't said a word, Long Fei Ye and Gu didn't overlook him. The appearance of a Shadow Clan member here was worth pondering over.
Moreover, he'd even said such a thing.
Why would he take them away?
"What, you know the way?" Gu grinned.
Before the white-robed man could answer, Han Yunxi shot Gu a look. "He really does know!"
Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed with a complicated expression. How could a Shadow Clan member know the way to the Poison Sect's Skypit?
Could it be that he'd been investigating the truth all this time?
Gu suddenly grew angry. "So you were the one who stole the map!"
After all, the Skypit was filled with countless twists and turns. It was extremely complicated, so who else besides the medical academy's upper echelons and a map would know the way?
Heaven knows whether the white-robed man had stolen the map or not. In any case, Han Yunxi had never seen him take it out.
He ignored Gu's accusation and asked, "Miss Yunxi, are we going or not?"
It was best if someone could lead the way.
Han Yunxi didn't understand the Shadow Clan, so she didn't have any doubts. She could tell that this white-robed man didn't know poisons, so he probably wanted her to help him catch the poison beast.
She'd even dared to go with this man when Long Fei Ye and Gu weren't here, much less when they were.
Once they found the poison beast, they had more people on their side. There was no need to worry about losing.
"Let's go!" Han Yunxi agreed easily.
But Long Fei Ye and Gu refused to leave.
"Hand over the map!" Gu's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"What does the Shadow Clan want with the poison beast?" Long Fei Ye was more concerned with this question. The Shadow Clan never lived for themselves. They only lived for one thing in their lives, and that was to serve Western Qin's imperial clan.
If Western Qin's imperial clan was destroyed, then the Shadow Clan would die as well. On the other hand, if the Shadow Clan still existed, then Western Qin's imperial clan would have orphans! What the Shadow Clan needed was what the royal family of Western Qin needed!
Why did this guy want to go with them? If they went together and found the Poison Beast, he would not be able to take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Long Fei Ye inadvertently glanced at Han Yunxi.
In the face of Long Fei Ye and Gu's aggressive questioning, the white-robed man was as calm as still water. Just as he was about to speak, who knew that at this moment, the ground suddenly shook. The entire cave was shaking as if it was about to collapse.
Long Fei Ye immediately grabbed Han Yunxi's hand and asked, "What happened?"
"Someone has touched the Tiankeng's Achilles heel. Before noon, the Tiankeng will definitely collapse! We must leave as soon as possible! "The white-clothed man said seriously.
"You also know about the Tiankeng Death Acupoint?" Gu was very surprised.
The "Sky Pit Death Point" was the Poison Sect's most important secret in the Sky Pit. It wasn't drawn on the map, so only the medical academy's upper echelons knew about it. Even he had eavesdropped on it when he was young.
It was a mechanism independent of the hundred poison traps, also known as the 101st mechanism.
Once that mechanism was triggered, it would cause the entire underground cave to collapse. Everything here would be buried underground, and even the poisonous beast would not be spared.
For many years, the medical academy's upper echelons had been searching for this mechanism, wanting to destroy the Sky Pit and trap the Poison Beast forever. Unfortunately, they hadn't been able to find it.
Damn it, who was the blind cat that chanced upon a dead mouse and touched this mechanism?
As they spoke, large rocks began to fall. Long Fei Ye shielded Han Yunxi as they hid in another cave. Seeing this, the white-robed man was the first to chase after them, even faster than Gu.
"There's not much time left. Are you leaving or not?" the white-robed man asked again.
As soon as he spoke, rocks began to fall from the cave they were in as well. The entire ceiling looked like it was about to collapse.
Long Fei Ye and Gu didn't hesitate as they said in unison, "Go, lead the way!"
Leave?
Should they quickly escape for their lives or hurry forward to find the Poison Beast?
No one explained, but the white-robed man, Long Fei Ye, and Gu had a tacit understanding. They weren't people who admitted defeat easily. They wouldn't run away. Since they were here, they wouldn't leave empty-handed.
When they said "leave", they only meant one thing, and that was to continue moving forward!
The white-robed man immediately activated the mechanism on the stone wall on the right, opening a secret door to lead the way.
The white-robed man was in front, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were behind, Gu and Mu Ling 'er were behind them, and Tang Li was at the back. Long Fei Ye was tightly protecting Han Yunxi, never letting go of his hand.
Everyone was flying using Qinggong. Han Yunxi didn't know how to fly, but she was the most relaxed one. Her face was pressed against Long Fei Ye's chest, and she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat. Only at this moment did she feel that she was very close to him.
Behind them, rocks kept falling, and the cave shook more and more violently. It was as if the whole world was about to collapse. However, Han Yunxi, who was nestled in Long Fei Ye's arms, had the illusion that the whole world was silent.
Amidst the turbulence, the alternation of light and darkness, and the rapid rush, he hugged her so tightly that her breathing was a little irregular.
However, even so, he still wanted her to get closer.
"Hold on tight!" He said in a completely commanding tone.
Hold on tight?
She couldn't hold on tight to him no matter how hard she tried, so she could only wrap her arms around his waist.
She hesitated, but he urged again, "Hold on tight!"
The speed was too fast. If this woman fell, she would be half-dead even if she didn't fall to her death.
"I can't hold on." Han Yunxi said in a low voice. She hesitated for a moment, then carefully wrapped her arms around him. This time, her whole body was really pressed against his body.
The masculine scent of a man suddenly filled her senses. Han Yunxi found that her heart was beating so fast that it couldn't stop.
Hug him?
Feeling the slight movement of her little hand around his waist, Long Fei Ye's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, and he acquiesced.
And this scene was clearly seen by Gu, who was behind them.
From his point of view, it was Han Yunxi who took the initiative to hug Long Fei Ye.
He looked and looked, then suddenly stopped in his tracks as if in a daze. Mu Ling 'er bumped into him from behind. Fortunately, Tang Li reacted quickly and stopped in time.
"Gu, what are you doing?" Tang Li shouted angrily.
Gu didn't react at all and continued to move forward. Mu Ling 'er looked at his lonely back full of wounds as he chased after Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi. Her heart almost broke.
Qi Brother, I definitely won't allow Han Yunxi to hurt you like this!
I definitely won't allow it!
As the karst cave collapsed more and more, the man in white also became faster and faster, forcing the people behind to speed up to keep up. The group of people quickly shuttled through the karst cave, breaking through secret doors and rushing through secret passages. Unknowingly, they kept going down.
Finally, the man in white stopped in front of a huge stone door. They had arrived.
"Behind this door is the lowest point of the crater. It's also the secret room where the poisonous beast is imprisoned," the man in white said lightly.
Everyone thought that the man in white would find a mechanism to open the door. However, the man in white said, "We have to find a way to open this door. I don't know where the mechanism is either."
Long Fei Ye knocked on the stone door with the handle of his sword. Hearing the sound, he knew that the door was very big.
He gestured for everyone to move aside and swung his sword. For a moment, the sword light was released and the momentum was like a rainbow. Unexpectedly, the stone door didn't even move.
Long Fei Ye was surprised and swung his sword again. This time, the sword directly hit the stone door. However, the stone door still didn't move at all.
Long Fei Ye's sword was the famous ancient sword, Dragon's Roar. It could cut iron like mud. Coupled with his internal energy, how could it not move a door?
"This isn't a stone door!" Long Fei Ye didn't waste his energy.
"It's a Xuan gold door. No one can touch it," the man in white replied honestly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Black Gold was the hardest thing in the world, and it was the best material to make weapons. A small piece of Black Gold was enough to make people scramble like ducks, not to mention such a big block!
The Poison Sect was actually using it as a door? Wasn't that a little too extravagant?
Of course, the shock was followed by despair. The man in white was right, no one could touch this door.
"Is there only one entrance?" Han Yunxi asked offhandedly.
It wasn't clear if the man in white heard her, but he didn't answer.
Gu stepped forward to touch it and sighed. "Bone corroding powder can be used for other things, but Xuan gold is hard to deal with."
Bone corroding powder was one of the most corrosive poisons, but it was useless against Xuan gold.
His words reminded Han Yunxi of something, causing her eyes to light up.
At this moment, the collapsing sounds around them grew louder and louder. If they delayed any longer, the secret passage they were in would collapse as well.
"We can only find the switch. It should be nearby," the man in white said seriously.
"This layout can only be found on the left and right walls. Everyone, split up and search!"
Tang Li had long been touching the walls. Hidden weapons and mechanisms were similar, so he could be considered half an expert when it came to them.
Very soon, everyone was searching the walls on both sides. Only Han Yunxi remained standing in place.
As the white clothed man looked over, his eyes that had always been as calm as water actually flashed with a hint of anxiety.
He looked at the crowd again. While no one was paying attention, he gently rubbed his finger against a rough spot on the wall. As he rubbed, his finger seemed to have been cut by something, and blood oozed out, leaving a bloody mark on the wall.
However, the strange thing was that the bloodstains quickly disappeared, as if they had been absorbed by the wall.
The man withdrew his finger and hid it in his palm. "Miss Yunxi, I'll go over there. You can look around here."
"Mm."
Han Yunxi walked over and was about to touch the wall when she suddenly stopped. "I have a way to corrode this wall!"
Hearing this, Long Fei Ye was the first to look over, his eyes flashing with warning.
There was still a poison in this world that could corrode Xuan gold. Its name was Perplexing Butterfly Illusion!
