A deep crack appeared on the impenetrable stone wall behind him as the white wolf crashed into it. However, no one paid any attention to this.
All sorts of feelings welled up in Han Yunxi's heart as she looked at the tall figure walking in.
That person was none other than the Sword Sect's Elder, Li Jianxin. He's finally here!
Now that he's here, Long Fei Ye will be fine.
But what about me?
Han Yunxi suddenly smiled. She knew it was hard to escape this calamity.
The killing intent from before was enough to prove Old Kenzō's stance.
Old Kenzō stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his silver hair neatly combed. His tall and proud figure was like a mountain as he stood there, suppressing all chaos and blocking Han Yunxi's path of survival.
"Poison Sect spawn, you dare to bring disaster to my Celestial Mountain?" Old Kenzō's booming voice echoed throughout the room.
Outside, everyone was gathered in a circle, afraid to speak. Even Duanmu Yao felt fear. She'd followed her master for so long, but she'd never seen him so angry before.
He'll definitely kill Han Yunxi. Duanmu Yao's heart leaped with joy. She knew she was about to win!
Han Yunxi lay sprawled on the white wolf's back, so weak that she could fall at any moment. Still, she grit her teeth and held on. Her words were sonorous. "I really am a descendant of the Poison Sect, but I didn't bring disaster to your Celestial Mountain. It was your elders who went too far!"
She acknowledged her identity as a descendant of the Poison Sect, and the poison beast was hers, so she had to acknowledge it. But why should she admit to a groundless accusation?
Old Kenzō never expected Han Yunxi to admit her identity so easily. He'd fallen ill yesterday and had just recovered. He remembered that today was the last day of Feiye's closed door cultivation and the most crucial day. Thus, he didn't even bother to rest before leaving Jiuxong Hall. But who knew that the moment he stepped out of the door, he'd hear a servant report what had happened in the Abstinence Hall? Han Yunxi was a remnant of the Poison Sect and had summoned her poison beast to fight with the two Pavilions and Halls.
He still could not believe it and immediately rushed over. Indeed, the Abstinence Hall was littered with casualties. Han Yunxi was riding on the back of the poisonous beast, facing off against everyone.
He had always trusted Feiye's eyes. Before Long Fei Ye brought Han Yunxi to Celestial Mountain, he already had some understanding of her and admired her in his heart. But he never expected her to be a descendant of the Poison Sect! How dare he cause trouble on Tianshan Mountain!
"No scourge? You summoned a poisonous beast to injure my Celestial Mountain disciples. How do you explain that? Han Yunxi, you deceived Long Fei Ye and used him to ascend to Heaven's Peak. What are your intentions? "
The white wolf seemed to understand the old man's words. It was already growling, but now it grew even angrier. It opened its mouth wide and growled at the old man.
After comforting the white wolf, Han Yunxi straightened her back and stared straight at the Kenzō. "Your Celestial Mountain's four elders and disciples from the two Pavilions and Halls make up nearly a hundred people. Do you have any sense of shame when you surround a weak woman like me? Is this the style of the head of the martial arts world, Tianshan Kenzō? How am I supposed to protect myself without summoning the poison beast? Where did I go wrong? "
The Kenzō gave a start as Cang Qiuzi suddenly rushed in. His clothes were in tatters, and he cut a sorry figure. His angry expression turned savage.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to touch Long Fei Ye today. In that case, he'd have to cripple Long Fei Ye's strongest ally, Han Yunxi, before he came out!
"Han Yunxi, you still have the guts to quibble? Old Man has long suspected that you're a remnant of the Poison Sect and came to Celestial Mountain to plot against us. That's why he brought people to the Abstinence Courtyard today. I never expected you to really summon the poison beast! "Cang Qiuzi pointed at Han Yunxi and cursed." Tell me, what are your intentions in seducing Feiye? What do you want to use him for? "
Second and Third Elder followed in as well. Second Elder reported, "Sect Head Elder, we've already discussed this matter with the head elder, so we're here today to help the head elder uncover the remnants of the Poison Sect. May Sect Leader judge clearly! "
"May Sect Leader judge clearly. No matter what, the remnants of the Poison Sect can't be left alive!" Third Elder declared.
Granny You had long entered the room, but she stood behind the crowd without a word.
"I never expected a dignified Celestial Mountain elder to be so despicable and deceitful!" Han Yunxi shook her head. "Cang Qiuzi's true target is Long Fei Ye! Granny You, you know best what happened today. Yunxi doesn't ask for your favoritism, but only the truth! "
Granny You furrowed her brows as she looked at Han Yunxi without a word.
"Youmin, speak!" Old Man Kenzō said Coldly.
Granny You's gaze turned complicated. She told the old man about how Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao had forced their way into the Abstinence Courtyard and slandered Han Yunxi for poisoning. But in the end, she added, "This old woman didn't know that Han Yunxi was a remnant of the Poison Sect. As for whether Head Elder was purposely causing trouble in the Abstinence Courtyard to lure out the poison beast, this old woman isn't sure. After learning that Han Yunxi was a remnant of the Poison Sect, this old woman didn't try to shield her. "
Although Granny You didn't defend her, at least she didn't slander her. Han Yunxi silently exhaled in relief.
She didn't add anything else, trusting that Old Man Kenzō could see everything clearly and Cang Qiuzi's motives.
"Sect Head, we didn't slander Han Yunxi for poisoning her. Yao Yao was the one who said it. Yao Yao has a witness, she was poisoned herself!"
Cang Qiuzi cleverly avoided mentioning the Long Fei Ye incident. As soon as he finished, Duanmu Yao entered and walked to Old Man Kenzō's side, sobbing. She rolled up her sleeves to reveal her terrifying rose vines.
"Master, look … my face's already ruined, but she still won't let it go!"
Duanmu Yao tugged at Old Man Kenzō's hand and suddenly fell to her knees, sobbing miserably. "Master, Yao Yao's begging you. Don't meddle in my affairs with senior brother anymore. Yao Yao's scared, Yao Yao's scared after being tormented by her … "
Old Man Kenzō watched his beloved disciple cry like this, feeling both angry and irritated.
But he was still the head of a sect. As long as his illness didn't act up, he could keep his cool.
What did that mean? It meant … he was cold-blooded enough!
He could tell Cang Qiuzi's true intentions and that he couldn't harm Feiye, so he wanted to get rid of Han Yunxi first. At the same time, he could tell that Yao Yao's poison had nothing to do with Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi wouldn't be stupid enough to provoke Cang Qiuzi and Yao Yao, much less use something as obvious as poison.
She had been slandered.
But she had to bear the crime of poisoning Yao Yao and die!
Even if she didn't, Yao Yao, Cang Qiuzi, Second Elder, and Third Elder would have to bear the brunt of the crime. The news had already spread throughout Celestial Mountain, so it was impossible to summon them to Celestial Mountain for a private chat like before.
He would punish Yao Yao and the other elders in private, but he had to protect them on the surface. Protecting them was the same as protecting Celestial Mountain Kenzō's honor.
Moreover, he was most worried about Feiye!
As long as Feiye emerged from closed door cultivation, he could participate in the ranking matches and inherit the position of sect leader. At a time like this, Feiye couldn't afford to be dragged down by Han Yunxi.
Even if Feiye didn't participate in the ranking matches, he couldn't be involved with the remnants of the Poison Sect. Once news of this spread, Feiye would become the target of all of Cloud Realm Continent! Even the south central regions' commander-in-chief's estate would betray him.
Thus, whether or not Feiye knew Han Yunxi's identity, he had to get rid of this source of trouble before he emerged from closed door cultivation.
Kenzō's eyes flashed with ruthlessness before he asked Coldly, "Han Yunxi, where's the antidote?"
Han Yunxi only smiled coldly. Does this old Kenzō believe that I was the one who poisoned him?
She didn't even want to call him 'master' anymore. Coldly, she said, "I don't have it!"
"This grandmaster will give you one last chance. Hand over the antidote!" Kenzō raged.
"Will you let me go if I hand over the antidote?" Han Yunxi laughed out loud. Even she found her words laughable.
"We can leave your corpse intact," Kenzō's face was expressionless.
"No need!" Han Yunxi supported herself with one hand on the white wolf's back to steady her weak body. She pointed at Duanmu Yao with the other. "I want her buried with me!"
Cang Qiuzi hastily added, "She's not the only one who knows how to cure rose vines! Senior brother, don't be fooled by her! She's using Yao Yao to threaten us! "
Duanmu Yao had no antidote, but there were still three days before the poison flared up. She could find Jun Yi Xie! She could find other poison masters! She wouldn't die.
Duanmu Yao looked at the vines on her hands and steeled her heart. "Master, eliminating the remnants of the Poison Sect is more important. Don't worry about Yao Yao! Yao Yao will definitely find the antidote! "
Since her face was ruined, she might as well ruin her body as well! At the very least, Cang Qiuzi would lose interest in her in the future.
As long as Han Yunxi was dead, no one would try to steal Long Fei Ye from her. Master would definitely make Long Fei Ye take responsibility for her.
Kenzō fell silent for a while before giving orders Coldly. "Someone come, write a letter to Medical City's Academy Head Gu. Just say that this esteemed one has asked him to find an antidote for rose vines."
Poisons were taboo in Medical City, but they still had their own poison doctors. He knew that Jun Yi Xie must have one, but he had no choice but to ask Medical City for it.
At Kenzō's words, Cang Qiuzi, Second Elder, and Third Elder immediately gathered around them. Granny You hesitated for a moment, but eventually joined them.
It was obvious that the sect head was bent on killing Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi looked at the five of them without fear. Instead, she threw her head back and laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Cang Qiuzi asked.
"What am I laughing at? I'm laughing at a weak woman like me who doesn't know any martial arts. What qualifications do I have? How could I trap Kenzō's sect head and four elders in a small room like this?! Hahaha, I, Han Yunxi, will die proud today! "Han Yunxi said loudly.
Yes, she was proud!
She rode on the white wolf's back, looking down at Tianshan Kenzō's experts and all of Tianshan Kenzō with disdain. There was no fear, only contempt!
Everyone felt a stab of pain from her mocking smile. Even Cang Qiuzi didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Clang!
With a whistle, Kenzō's old man unsheathed his Blazing Ice Sword. One side of the blade was filled with fire, while the other side was filled with ice. Fire and ice intertwined perfectly with each other, creating a brilliant radiance.
It was aimed straight at Han Yunxi.
"Awoo …!"
The white wolf leapt angrily over Kenzō's sword and swooped down on Kenzō, forcing the old man to retreat out of the room.
The white wolf followed closely behind, its howls like the howling wind that hurt.
Second and Third Elder chased after them, but Cang Qiuzi didn't move. Seeing Granny You staring at him, he had no choice but to give up on Long Fei Ye and chase after the old man.
No one else knew why Kenzō's old man had fled at the first blow, but Granny You knew. He didn't want to destroy Abstinence Hall and disturb Long Fei Ye.
Granny You hurried after him, too preoccupied to notice the cracks in the walls.
As soon as Granny You reached the door, she was blinded by a flash of red and blue sword awn. The sword awn was magnificent and contained an unparalleled amount of strength as it flew towards Han Yunxi and the white wolf like a hot knife through butter …
