Outside, disciples from the two Depositories and Courtyards began to arrive. All of Long Fei Ye's trusted aides had arrived to join the melee. Even Xu Donglin, who was on standby at Fourth Peak, had rushed over after hearing the news. His body was covered in blood as he fought his way to Abstinence Hall's doors with bloodshot eyes.
Even if the Sword and Scripture Depositories had enough evidence to prove that Han Yunxi had poisoned their disciples, they couldn't just barge into Abstinence Hall to arrest her!
Poisoning disciples to death was nothing but a laughable excuse. The two depositories had obviously been instigated by Cang Qiuzi to kill Han Yunxi today.
In any case, the sect leader was in closed door cultivation; Long Fei Ye couldn't come out; they had an excuse; Duanmu Yao could cover up any heinous crimes for them.
The glint of blades and shadows of swords filled the air.
As soon as Han Yunxi rushed into the room, Duanmu Yao followed her in and shut the door behind her.
Granny You was held back by the Sword and Scripture Depositories elders. She could only watch the scene unfold before her eyes, unable to stop them.
Han Yunxi had no foundation in martial arts at all, so how could she withstand Cang Qiuzi's attacks? Where did she find the strength and courage to charge in?
The walls of the secret room made it impossible for wind or sound to pass through. Even if there was a ruckus outside, Long Feiye wouldn't be able to hear a thing. Even if he did, he'd be hard-pressed to protect himself at a time like this, much less save someone.
Han Yunxi was a weak woman. How was she supposed to face off against a wolf like Cang Qiuzi or Duanmu Yao's ruthlessness?
Granny You looked at the tightly shut door, her heart aching for no reason.
Inside the room.
Han Yunxi had her back against the stone wall as she faced the approaching Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth and her face was as white as paper. Her body was so weak that she could collapse at any moment, but her eyes weren't cloudy at all. Instead, they shone with a murderous aura that made Cang Qiuzi cower in fear.
"Yao Yao, what are you waiting for?" Cang Qiuzi smiled coldly.
"I'm thinking, should I destroy the right side of her face first, or the left?" Duanmu Yao laughed heartily. She gripped her longsword tightly as she approached Han Yunxi step by step.
Today, she wanted Han Yunxi to pay for all the grievances she had suffered over the past few years!
Who knew that Han Yunxi would suddenly curse. "Duanmu Yao, you're even more stupid than this princess consort imagined! Do you know why Long Fei Ye looks down on you? "
Han Yunxi didn't know how long she could hold on. She also didn't know when the reinforcements outside would rush in. She only had one thought in her heart, and that was no matter what, no matter what method she used, she had to hold on and drag it out!
After today, everything will be fine.
Duanmu Yao stopped dead in her tracks. She hadn't expected that Han Yunxi would still dare to scold her at a time like this.
"It's all because of you! Han Yunxi, why did you appear? This princess won't let you, so I'll kill you! "Duanmu Yao raged.
Cang Qiuzi could tell at a glance that Han Yunxi was stalling for time. Ignoring Duanmu Yao, he raised his sword high and channeled internal energy into it, creating a clanking sword qi as he prepared to slash open the stone door.
Han Yunxi cried out, "Duanmu Yao, it's because you're so stupid that no medicine can save you! You like Long Fei Ye, but you keep harming him! Do you know what Long Fei Ye is doing in that secret room? He's in closed door cultivation! Cang Qiuzi's real target isn't me, but Long Fei Ye! Can't you tell yet? Today's the last day. If he's disturbed, you should know the consequences better than I do! "
Duanmu Yao gave a start as she looked at Cang Qiuzi in disbelief.
Long Fei Ye's in closed door cultivation again? Why didn't Cang Qiuzi tell me that?
Cang Qiuzi's sword was already glowing with a brilliant sword awn. Just as it was about to strike, Duanmu Yao rushed over and grabbed his hand. "You dared to lie to me!"
"Let go!" Cang Qiuzi roared.
Duanmu Yao didn't let go, but bit down viciously on his hand. Furious, Cang Qiuzi shoved her aside. "You really are so stupid that no medicine can save you!"
Duanmu Yao crawled to her feet and spread her arms in front of Cang Qiuzi's sword. "Cang Qiuzi, even if Long Fei Ye dies, he can only die by this princess's hands. He's mine! I won't let you hurt him! "
"Scram, or else Old Man will kill you too!" Cang Qiuzi said coldly.
"Try me! Do you think my master doesn't know a thing? "Duanmu Yao warned." My master just doesn't want to deal with you, that's all. Try me! I promise he'll make you die a horrible death even if he destroys Celestial Mountain! "
In the end, Cang Qiuzi was still afraid of Kenzō. Although he was impatient, he had no choice but to restrain himself and coax Duanmu Yao.
"Yao Yao, martial uncle never expected you to believe Han Yunxi's words and let her sow discord so easily," Cang Qiuzi said sincerely. "How could martial uncle kill Feiye? If martial uncle did, your master wouldn't forgive me either! Uncle-Master only wanted to injure him a little and kill his spirit. If he's hurt, he'll have to recuperate on Celestial Mountain for a few months. As for Han Yunxi … "
Cang Qiuzi didn't finish, but gave Duanmu Yao a meaningful look.
As soon as she thought of Long Fei Ye staying on Celestial Mountain for a few months, Duanmu Yao's heart wavered.
Han Yunxi wasn't stupid enough to pin her hopes on a woman like Duanmu Yao. She took advantage of Cang Qiuzi's inattention to shoot multiple poison needles at him.
Unfortunately, Cang Qiuzi was too strong. He knocked them all to the ground with a single hand.
"Yao Yao, did you see that? Han Yunxi's clearly trying to sow discord between us! " Cang Qiuzi's eyes flashed with a sinister smile. "Yao Yao, martial uncle never expected an outsider to provoke us. Hmph, how infuriating and lamentable!"
The word "we" was mixed with a warning, and Duanmu Yao understood that.
Without a word, Duanmu Yao backed away and pointed her sword at Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi backed away step by step until her back hit the wall again. She had nowhere else to go.
"Cang Qiuzi, do you still remember when this wangfei stabbed you with a needle at the top of Celestial Mountain?" she asked. This was her final bargaining chip. She'd saved it for Long Fei Ye, but now she had no choice but to use it ahead of time.
If Long Fei Ye could defeat Cang Qiuzi in the ranking matches and intimidate the other factions, it'd be best if he could peacefully resolve Celestial Mountain's crisis.
But if he couldn't win and ended up tearing into Cang Qiuzi, then her poisons would definitely help Long Fei Ye.
That needle could alleviate the pain in his stomach, but it also contained a slow-acting hypertoxic poison that couldn't be detected for now. Once the poison took effect, he'd die without a doubt. But in order to keep Cang Qiuzi from discovering, Han Yunxi's poison would take at least two months to show its effects.
Cang Qiuzi was slightly alarmed. Although Jun Yi Xie hadn't replied, he'd invited multiple poisons experts to examine him and found that the poison in his body had long been cured.
"That's a slow-acting poison. If you don't want to die, then get out!" Han Yunxi warned Cold.
Cang Qiuzi laughed out loud. "Han Yunxi, do you think Old Man will believe your lies?"
Han Yunxi wasn't sure if he'd believe her, but she still held on without a change in her expression. "Since Elder Cang dares to gamble with his life, then I'll accompany you to the end!"
In the end, Cang Qiuzi wasn't an easy opponent. He didn't believe her.
"Yao Yao, what are you still spacing out for?"
So speaking, he slashed at the stone door with his sword. At the same time, Duanmu Yao's sword stabbed towards Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi had nowhere to run or block. Either way, she'd die.
Long Fei Ye, I still can't finish the 100 steps …
With nowhere to run, Han Yunxi chose to advance. She took a step towards Cang Qiuzi and spread her arms to block the sword with her body!
Long Feiye, I'm taking this step towards death for your sake. Does it count as one of the 100 steps I've taken?
Long Fei Ye, Yunxi didn't go back on her word. I'll keep waiting, even if I die!
Long Fei Ye, are you still leaning against the wall?
Long Fei Ye, do you miss Yunxi?
Long Fei Ye, Yunxi misses you. I really, really miss you …
Cang Qiuzi didn't stop. His sword qi was swift and fierce, forcing Han Yunxi to bleed profusely from the corner of her mouth. His sword followed closely behind, slashing viciously at her head!
"Boom!"
There was a sudden explosion as a powerful force erupted from Han Yunxi's body. It knocked aside the sword and sent Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao flying backwards to crash against the door.
What just happened?
They saw … saw a tall white wolf appear out of thin air in front of Han Yunxi. It was as big as a bear, its fur as white as snow without a trace of impurities. Between its brows was a symbol of a blood-red flame that resembled a burning sacred flame.
It stared at Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao, its demonic red eyes glowing with a strange light. They were filled with an unusual coldness and viciousness.
Both Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao were stunned by the aura of a king emanating from the white wolf's body! It was clearly a beast, but it seemed like a high and lofty king of humans!
What … what is this thing? Where did it come from?
Han Yunxi fell to the ground as waves of dizziness washed over her head. When Cang Qiuzi's sword slashed at her, she felt the entire poison storage space boil. She didn't know what happened, but she felt something fly out of the space beyond her control.
All sorts of poisons flew about inside the space, causing her dizziness to intensify. Still, Han Yunxi forced herself to hold on. She looked at the mighty white wolf in front of her and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Lil Thing …" she muttered to herself in disbelief. Has Lil Thing recovered? Is this Lil Thing's true form?
The white wolf turned to look at Han Yunxi. As soon as it saw the bloodstain by her lips, the symbol between its brows glowed red.
The white wolf immediately turned towards Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao with a roar, revealing a pair of blood-red fangs!
"Blood fangs!"
Cang Qiuzi was alarmed. "Poison beast! It's the Poison Sect's poison beast! Only poison beasts have blood fangs! "
Duanmu Yao was even more shocked. She had teamed up with Jun Yi Xie to enter the Skypit for the sake of this poison beast! Although she'd never seen the beast in person, she remembered Jun Yi Xie saying that its fangs were the color of blood. Once bitten, one would die from poison. Moreover, its blood wasn't poisonous and could cure hundreds of poisons.
When they entered the Skypit, all they saw were shackles and handcuffs, but not a trace of the poison beast.
Why would it appear out of thin air here? And why would it protect Han Yunxi? Could it be …
Duanmu Yao cried out in alarm, "Han Yunxi, you stole the poison beast!"
"No! No one can steal the poison beast, "Cang Qiuzi denied immediately. In disbelief, he said," Han Yunxi, you … you're actually a descendant of the Poison Sect! "
