Just as Long Fei Ye was walking towards Han Yunxi, the old woman in black suddenly raised her hand.
"Be careful, it's poisoned!"
Han Yunxi immediately pounced over. Her movements were so fast that even Long Fei Ye was shocked. While standing behind Long Fei Ye, she also pushed Long Fei Ye aside. Her strength was so great that it gave Long Fei Ye another shock.
In reality, with this woman around, Long Fei Ye had never been afraid of being poisoned. When he saw Han Yunxi's nimble movements, he began to consider another problem.
It shouldn't be difficult to teach this woman martial arts.
Previously, when Han Yunxi wanted to learn martial arts, he had rejected her with the excuse that she was "born trash". Ever since then, this woman had always believed herself to be trash. If she knew the truth, would she …
While Long Fei Ye was lost in thought, Han Yunxi suddenly coughed violently.
Before he could ask, Han Yunxi took out an antidote from her medical pouch. After taking the medicine, she stopped coughing.
When it came to poisons, Long Fei Ye really didn't need to worry about anything.
The old woman in black looked at Han Yunxi in disbelief. "You … you have an antidote?"
She had given Han Yunxi seven-seven boiling powder, a powder made from forty-nine different poisons. If she accidentally inhaled it, it would be impossible to save her if she didn't have an antidote within half a day.
How could Han Yunxi have an antidote? What a coincidence!
Han Yunxi was about to answer, but Long Fei Ye said coldly, "Han Yunxi, you still haven't answered this prince's question!"
The old woman in black jumped in fright when she heard this.
Wasn't His Highness Duke of Qin worried at all that she would poison her again? He was actually ignoring her so thoroughly. For better or for worse, she was one of the top poisons masters in the Chu Clan!
Han Yunxi didn't dare to look at Long Fei Ye. She lowered her head. If she knew that the old woman in black had a crossbow, she wouldn't have run into the secret passage.
She originally planned to let the old woman in black catch her if she couldn't run away. Once she got close, she would be able to poison her. Who knew that the old woman in black had a crossbow that could kill people from a distance?
"Answer this prince's question." Long Fei Ye was furious.
How should Han Yunxi answer? Since it had already happened, there was no point in explaining. Just as she was about to answer, the old woman in black used poison again. Poison powder again!
Han Yunxi raises her hand and directly takes out the antidote to break the poison in the air, which makes the old woman in black stunned. Long Fei Ye didn't even look at her. His attention was completely focused on Han Yunxi.
If it weren't for Long Fei Ye's protection, Han Yunxi wouldn't be able to use her poison to its fullest extent. If it weren't for Han Yunxi's assistance, Long Fei Ye's martial arts would be restricted by a poison expert no matter how strong he was. They were simply a perfect match.
The old woman in black wasn't willing to give up and used five different poisons at once. This time, Han Yunxi was furious. She suddenly turned around to face the poisons. She didn't even bother to take the antidote and directly used the detoxification system to detoxify her.
Coldly, she said, "You have a total of thirty-two poisons on you. Fifteen of them are fatal. The remaining ones aren't weak either. They're all highly toxic."
As she spoke, she sternly warned, "If you try to poison me again, I promise I'll let you swallow all the poison in your body in one gulp!"
Daring to poison Long Fei Ye in front of her, she was simply tired of living! She was a bit of a dregs, but in the field of poison, no one could compete with her.
The old woman in black was stunned. Seeing that Han Yunxi didn't even detoxify the poison and was completely fine, she finally didn't dare to make any more moves. Taking all thirty-two poisons at once would result in a very miserable death. It was better for her to be ignored.
Han Yunxi spat out a mouthful of turbid air before turning around to face Long Fei Ye. Just a moment ago, she was still mighty and domineering, but now, in front of Long Fei Ye, she immediately wilted. Long Fei Ye's hands behind his back were still trembling. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had come a step later.
"Speak!" Long Fei Ye coldly said.
Han Yunxi was startled for a moment, but she truthfully replied, "I was afraid that running outside would cause me to die faster."
"You!" Long Fei Ye was furious, "You underestimate this prince that much?"
Actually, she was more afraid of dragging him back, distracting him, and injuring him.
Han Yunxi was about to explain, but Long Fei Ye angrily roared, "Han Yunxi, this prince will never forgive you!"
Han Yunxi finally felt the fear hidden in his monstrous anger.
It was this sentence again. This was the second time he said that he would never forgive her. Would there really be a day when he wouldn't forgive her?
Her heart ached for no reason as she stepped forward to hug him. After a long time, he didn't move, so she said in a low voice, "Long Fei Ye, don't be angry. I know I was wrong."
Long Fei Ye wished he could strangle this stupid woman to death, but all his anger turned into a silent sigh. He also hugged her tightly, "There won't be a next time."
He secretly decided not to teach her martial arts. She was already so bold without knowing martial arts. Once she learned martial arts, wouldn't she run in the opposite direction from him?
There won't be a next time. These words were not for her to hear, but for himself to hear.
The old woman in black looked at Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi tightly hugging each other. Although she wanted to take this opportunity to attack, she hesitated again and again and didn't dare. One of her hands was crippled and she was bleeding profusely. Her leg had also been nailed to the ground by Long Fei Ye's sword. In this situation, her only way out was to beg for mercy. She could only silently wait for Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi to finish hugging each other.
In the end, Long Fei Ye let go of Han Yunxi first. Han Yunxi was actually more afraid than Long Fei Ye, but she was afraid in her heart. She wanted to learn martial arts more and more. She didn't know if there was any way to make up for a natural trash like her. When they went to Tianshan next year and met the Wulin Supreme Elder, Kenzō, perhaps she could ask him.
Long Fei Ye began to interrogate the old woman. "You're from the Chu Clan?"
"As long as Your Highness Duke of Qin agrees to let me live, I'll tell you everything," the old woman laid down her terms.
Long Fei Ye asked, "Before you say anything, how can this prince judge your worth?"
"I'm sure Your Highness is very curious as to why the Chu Clan has come to the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds," the old woman said seriously.
"Alright, your lordship can spare your life," Long Feiye agreed easily.
The old woman was delighted and immediately confessed everything. "I'm a poison master raised by the Chu Clan. I was ordered to guard this place a year ago and lay a trap for you."
"How did Chu Tianyin know we'd come again?" Han Yunxi was curious.
"Because of the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons. A year ago, Young Master Yin led a group of poison masters and found the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons at the end of the secret passage. He discovered that you'd left behind some rocks to block the path, but didn't take the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons away. That's why he guessed you'd come again, "the old woman explained.
Actually, this was all a misunderstanding. Han Yunxi and the rest had no idea it was the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons. If they did, they would've taken it long ago and never come again.
Han Yunxi didn't explain, but asked doubtfully, "Does Chu Tianyin know about the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons?"
If not for Gu's words, Han Yunxi wouldn't even know about its existence. She'd never seen such a thing in any of the poison scriptures she'd read before.
Perhaps it was something unique to Cloud Realm Continent.
The old woman shook her head. She'd only heard about it before. "I'm not sure. Witch Aunt probably told him."
"Witch Aunt? Who's that? "Long Fei Ye asked.
"Young Master Yin's most powerful poison master," the old woman replied honestly.
Han Yunxi vaguely remembered reading about the Witch Aunt in Cloud Realm Continent's poison records. She never expected Chu Tianyin to interfere with Tianning's internal affairs and get involved in the poison world as well. His ambitions weren't small, and his background wasn't simple either!
"Why did you set the fire?" Long Fei Ye asked again. This was the only thing he couldn't figure out. There was no need to set the place on fire for such an ambush.
The old woman fell silent.
"Are you going to tell me or not?!" Long Fei Ye wasn't so patient.
"Your Highness Duke of Qin, I'll tell you everything. You can't go back on your word," the old woman was still afraid in the end.
"Your lordship won't go back on his word!" Long Fei Ye replied.
Only then did the old woman relax. "Young Master Yin was the one who set the fire! When Gu went in, Young Master Yin just happened to be there. He set the fire to cut off Gu's escape route and lure you all here … "
Long Fei Ye suddenly narrowed his eyes. "Chu Tianyin's still hiding in the underground palace!"
He'd just killed all of the archers in the underground palace, but Chu Tianyin was nowhere to be seen. He never expected the man to have another ambush.
"This place is most suitable for a fire attack. Your Highness Duke of Qin, please be careful." In order to save her own life, the old woman was quite desperate. She actually warned Long Fei Ye to be careful.
When she saw Long Fei Ye's icy expression, her fear deepened. She hurriedly added, "There's also a third reason. The third reason is to destroy the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons. Witch Aunt said that the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons' toxicity will gradually dissipate if the temperature of the rocks and soil continues to rise. "
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a fire dragon suddenly shot out from the secret passage. Someone had set the place on fire!
Long Fei Ye was alarmed. He stopped Han Yunxi and was about to leave, but the people outside had used a special kind of fuel. The fire immediately grew stronger, and the secret passage was too small to escape.
In the end, even Long Feiye had miscalculated! Presumably, when he'd entered to save Han Yunxi, Chu Tianyin had already killed the elite soldiers outside. Now he was setting the place on fire to cut off their escape route.
The old woman was also shocked. Once the fire reached her, she wouldn't be able to escape. Suddenly, Long Fei Ye pulled out the sword stuck in her foot and fiercely slashed it, taking her life.
Long Fei Ye wouldn't let go of anyone who endangered his woman's life, let alone being insincere, even if he had to resort to underhanded means!
Long Fei Ye watched as the fire grew stronger and stronger. Just as he was hesitating over whether or not to rush out, Han Yunxi suddenly shouted, "Gu's about to jump!"
When Long Fei Ye had suddenly arrived, she'd forgotten about Gu for a moment. When the old woman mentioned the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons, she immediately thought of him.
"Long Fei Ye, Gu's there. The Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons is also there. Quick! Stop him! "Han Yunxi tugged on Long Fei Ye's arm, indicating that he should look down.
Long Fei Ye discovered that the end of these secret passageways all led to the same abyss.
Although they couldn't see it clearly from afar, they could clearly see that the smear of red was at the edge of the cliff. It looked like it was about to fall.
Was this guy trying to protect the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons? This thought flashed through Long Fei Ye's mind. He shouted, "Gu!"
However, the wind was too strong. His voice was quickly drowned out by the howling wind.
At this moment, Gu really was about to jump off the cliff. Even though the Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons was hidden in his mouth, it was still affected by the heat. He had to jump down. Otherwise, there would be no more Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons in this world.
"Gu! We're here! Here! "Han Yunxi was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Helpless, Long Fei Ye could only …
