The Poison Sect's forbidden grounds, the underground palace of the poison storehouse.
Gu had already gotten his hands on the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons, but just as he was about to leave, a giant tongue of fire suddenly shot out from the secret passage and forced him to retreat to the cliff.
Someone had clearly set the fire on purpose to cut off his escape route! This was because the fire mechanism in this secret passage had already been activated by the Chu siblings and Duanmu Baiye, so it was impossible for it to burn again. Moreover, if it was a fire mechanism, the fire would definitely not burn towards the cliff, but towards the outside of the secret passage.
The Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons on the cliff was afraid of fire!
Leaving aside the fact that it was directly burned, the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons' toxicity would begin to weaken when the surrounding temperature rose. In serious cases, it might even lose all of its toxicity. In that case, it wouldn't be able to mix with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to create poisonous tears.
Since someone had set the fire right after he'd entered, their goal was clear. Someone had been waiting here for him for a long time. Moreover, they hadn't stopped him directly, but used the fire to ambush him instead. Their goal couldn't be any clearer. They wanted his life as well as the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons.
Gu made a prompt decision and summoned a goshawk to send a message to Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi, asking for reinforcements.
He kept an eye on the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons' toxicity while keeping an eye on the fire. If Long Fei Ye couldn't come to his aid in time, he'd jump off the cliff with the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons.
Although he didn't know what lay below the cliff, it was better than watching the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons turn to waste.
As expected, the fire in the secret passage weakened on the day he asked for reinforcements. As the fire weakened, the temperature of the ground beneath the cliff dropped significantly.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi couldn't have arrived so quickly, but Long Fei Ye had mobilized the elite troops he'd hidden in Medical City to sneak into the underground palace as quickly as possible.
The two groups of people fought fiercely outside the secret passage. Gu could faintly hear the sounds of fighting amidst the explosions. He'd thought it would be over quickly, but who knew that the battle would last for ten whole days?
Long Fei Ye must have sent a lot of people, and none of them were weak. Who set the fire? Was it the Chu Clan? Was the Chu clan that powerful?
Amidst the burning smell, Gu smelled the thick smell of blood. God knows how terrible the situation on the other side of the fire was!
The fire, which had weakened a few days ago, gradually grew stronger. It burned the stone walls until they were scalding hot. The entire cliff, be it stone or soil, was burning hot.
"Damn it!"
Gu's beautiful face was deeply furrowed. He clenched the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons that he had collected and looked at the raging fire with a cold and stern expression.
He was so stern and serious that he was more resolute than usual. His flirtatious charm and playful laughter had nothing to do with him. A raging fire was burning in his eyes. He was so serious that it was frightening!
The Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons was something that Poison Lass wanted, something that Poison Lass had entrusted him with. No matter what, he had to protect it well!
On this day, he placed the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons in his mouth without hesitation and stood at the edge of the cliff.
If he could, he would've charged out of the flames long ago, but the heat would harm the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons.
He'd wait for another day. If the fire didn't die down and the temperature didn't drop, then he'd have no choice but to jump off the cliff.
Gu had no idea that Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had already arrived!
They'd received constant emergency reports on their way here and long understood the situation. Normally, it would've taken them 15 days to cover the entire distance, but the two of them only took 10. They'd left Tang Li and Chu Xifeng so far behind that they couldn't even see their shadows.
By the time they arrived, they saw a group of elite soldiers fighting against a group of black-robed, masked men in the smoke. Han Yunxi recognized them as Poison Humans at a glance. No wonder Long Fei Ye's elite soldiers stationed at Medical City couldn't deal with them.
Long Fei Ye's martial arts and Han Yunxi's poison skills made it very easy for the two of them to take care of the Poison Humans.
Long Fei Ye examined the corpses in surprise. "Jun Yi Xie's men?"
Han Yunxi didn't have time to worry about such details. She quickly ordered people to fetch water to extinguish the flames.
Now that the Poison Humans were dead, no one threw anything else into the fire. The secret room was filled with stone and soil, so the fire would slowly die down and die out. But the smoke from the fire was deadly. How many of the people who died in a fire didn't burn to death, but choked to death instead?
She was very worried about Gu.
Long Fei Ye wasn't worried about Gu at all. He took out a new mask and wet it for Han Yunxi before continuing to examine the corpses.
He didn't understand why the Poison Humans had set the place on fire. Moreover, they'd prepared so much incendiary material that it was obvious they were going to burn for days.
Gu hadn't explained clearly in his letter either. What did this have to do with the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons? He had a feeling that something wasn't right here.
"Han Yunxi ….."
Long Fei Ye was about to speak when suddenly, several fire arrows shot out from the shadows.
There was an ambush!
Long Fei Ye immediately pulled Han Yunxi into his arms and it was because he wanted to protect Han Yunxi that a fire arrow brushed past his arm, setting it ablaze.
Han Yunxi hadn't even recovered from her shock when Long Fei Ye had already shielded her. He dodged several fire arrows and leaned against the wall, pressing his arm against the wall to forcibly extinguish the fire.
"The Chu Family!"
"The Chu Family!"
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi blurted out those two words at the same time. Whether the Chu Family had raised their own Poison Humans or had colluded with Jun Yi Xie, it was hard to be surprised.
At this moment, they didn't have the time to think too much about it as the archers in the shadows had yet to reveal themselves. Fire arrows rained down from all directions, increasing in number and density, making it impossible to guard against.
The enemy was in the shadows, while they were in the light. They were completely at a disadvantage.
Surrounded by ten thousand swords and protected by the elite troops, Long Fei Ye was barely able to protect Han Yunxi. If it was him, he would have given it his all and killed those archers in the shadows even if he was burned.
However, Han Yunxi was in his arms, so he definitely wouldn't take the risk.
Only the heavens knew how many archers were hidden in the shadows. Only the heavens knew if Chu Tianyin was in the shadows. He had to be on guard against Chu Tianyin's archery.
"Long Fei Ye, change from defense to offense and kill those archers." Han Yunxi was very decisive.
Although she didn't know martial arts, she could see that in such a small place like the underground palace, once the archers completely suppressed them, they could only keep defending until they ran out of energy.
Therefore, even if they were seriously injured, they could only choose this path.
She had just finished speaking when Long Fei Ye very domineeringly pressed her head against his chest and ordered Coldly, "Hide well!"
Han Yunxi was about to break free when Long Fei Ye pulled out his long whip and opened a path for them to escape into the second secret passage.
Han Yunxi was stunned at first, then she was overjoyed. How could she forget that there were still four secret passages around them!
If she remembered correctly, there were poisonous spiders in the second secret passage. The Chu siblings and Duanmu Baiye had all experienced it before, and she had Little Thing's help, so she was naturally safe and sound.
Although the fire arrows continued to fly in, it wasn't as narrow as the outside. It was easy to dodge the arrows in the secret passage as long as they kept running forward.
The secret passage was very deep. Unless the archers in the shadows chased after them, the accuracy of the fire arrows was very low.
Han Yunxi raised her head again and said with a smile, "Your Highness, if it's the Chu family, they definitely wouldn't dare to chase after us!"
At this time, there were still many fire arrows whizzing past them. Long Fei Ye pressed Han Yunxi's head against his chest again and said in displeasure, "Be careful!"
Long Fei Ye only let go of Han Yunxi when they had escaped to a very deep place and the fire arrows had disappeared behind them. "Be good and stay here."
He wanted to leave after saying this, but that group of archers probably thought that he wanted to escape. When had he ever dodged an enemy's attack? He only wanted to leave Han Yunxi here while he went out to fight.
In a hurry, Han Yunxi hurriedly grabbed Long Fei Ye's hand and was about to say something, but he said, "Wait for this prince to come and get you!" He hurriedly left after saying this. Han Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't say anything.
Very soon, Long Feiye returned, followed by a dense swarm of black venomous spiders.
Long Fei Ye frowned as he looked at Han Yunxi, undoubtedly wanting her to make a move.
Seeing that his never-changing face finally had a different expression, Han Yunxi couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I wanted to remind you just now. Who told you to be anxious?"
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. Han Yunxi took out the still sleeping Lil Thing from her medical pouch and casually tossed it into the swarm of spiders.
Before Lil Thing even landed on the ground, the black mass of poisonous spiders fled in all directions in fright. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
Although Lil Thing wasn't awake yet, it was definitely the pass to the entire poisonous herb storehouse!
Once the poisonous spiders scattered, Long Fei Ye was about to leave, but he turned back and called out to her, "Han Yunxi."
Actually, Han Yunxi was also anxious. Long Fei Ye hurriedly dealt with the group of archers outside so that they could put out the fire and save Gu. She said seriously, "I'll obediently wait for you to pick me up! Be careful! "
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye said, "This prince wants to kill to his heart's content. You'll have to wait a little longer."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left, quickly disappearing from sight. He wasn't present when the Tu family's archers surrounded and attacked Han Yunxi. If he didn't kill to his heart's content today, how could he vent the anger in his heart?
Many times, if he didn't say it, she wouldn't have thought of it.
Han Yunxi was suspicious, but didn't think too much about it. She walked over to pick up Lil Thing and sat on the spot to wait.
However, she quickly became alert. She sensed that there were countless highly toxic poisons approaching!
What's going on?
She had just stood up when an old woman in a black dress and a mask appeared in front of her. The countless highly toxic poisons detected by the detoxification system were all on this old woman.
She carried a large amount of highly toxic poisons on her!
The detoxification system naturally wouldn't be so bored as to simply check the poisons on everyone's body. But when the amount of poison exceeded a certain amount, the detoxification system would still alert the owner if there was a threat.
Who was this old woman? Was she also a member of the Chu family? From the looks of it, she wasn't afraid of the poisonous spiders here.
Han Yunxi casually hid Lil Thing into her sleeve and retreated vigilantly, "Who are you?"
"I've been entrusted by someone to take your life." The old woman said gloomily.
Han Yunxi didn't hesitate to activate Pear Blossom Teardrop Rain and shot out several poisonous needles. Who knew that this old woman would easily dodge them and even neutralize the poison powder that the needles carried.
Good heavens, she was a highly skilled practitioner of poison!
Han Yunxi made a prompt decision as she turned around and ran …
Should she run towards the depths of the secret passage or run towards the exit?
