The day of the challenge approached, but there was still no news from Bai Yanqing and no response from Hundred Poisons Sect. Even Han Yunxi was still unconscious.
Tomorrow was the day of the challenge!
Long Fei Ye's group had already arrived at Great Central Mountain, where Hundred Poisons Sect was located.
Great Central Mountain was the tallest mountain in the eastern part of Western Zhou, and Hundred Poisons Sect ruled it. Although it was located within Western Zhou's borders, it wasn't under its jurisdiction. The Western Zhou imperial family couldn't do anything to Hundred Poisons Sect, so they had always avoided the issue. Only recently did Emperor Kang Cheng assume the role of Western Zhou's master, denouncing Hundred Poisons Sect and entertaining guests.
After occupying Great Central Mountain, Hundred Poisons Sect planted all kinds of poisonous plants and bred many poisonous creatures, mainly poisonous snakes.
It had to be said that Han Yunxi's group had chosen the right time to come. When winter came, most of the poisonous creatures would hide and hibernate, especially the poisonous snakes. They had avoided a lot of trouble.
All kinds of small palaces and pavilions could be found throughout Great Central Mountain. The main palace of Hundred Poisons Sect, Hundred Poisons Temple, was located at the peak of Great Central Mountain. A stone staircase led from the foot of the mountain to Hundred Poisons Temple.
At the foot of Great Central Mountain was Great Central Village. Because of Hundred Poisons Sect, the villagers here relied on medicinal herbs for a living. They didn't sell herbs to Hundred Poisons Sect, but rather to those who came to learn from their masters or to those who came to seek treatment for poisons.
Hundred Poisons Sect did all kinds of shady business, such as murder, robbery, and the sale of poisons. Occasionally, a disciple would treat someone's poison, but the fee was exorbitant. Of course, more importantly, they trained poison masters, Poison Humans, and Poison Corpses for Jun Yi Xie's use.
Back when Han Yunxi exposed Jun Yixie's use of Poison Gu in Medical City, the city had sent many spies to infiltrate the Hundred Poisons Sect to investigate the matter. Unfortunately, none of them had succeeded.
The Wang Clan of Medicine City, on Long Fei Ye's request, had sent a few spies, but they hadn't had the opportunity to come into contact with Bai Yanqing and his two disciples, so they hadn't been able to obtain much useful information.
This was a place that couldn't be won by wits, only brute force!
Long Fei Ye's group did not stay in Great Central Town. After arriving in secret, they stayed in a house on the northern outskirts of Great Central Town. This was the Wang Clan's territory.
Meanwhile, Emperor Kang Cheng was in the Great Central County Town, about ten li away from Great Central Village, receiving guests who had come to join in on the fun. Long Tianmo had indeed come in person.
It was almost noon, which meant that Long Fei Ye and the others had half a day less. However, Han Yunxi was still lying on the bed, motionless.
After arriving at the mansion early in the morning, Long Fei Ye had been sitting beside Han Yunxi, holding her hand and interlocking their fingers until now.
Gu Beiyue stood by the side, completely silent.
If he had been holding onto hope along the way, he would have been able to remain calm. He would have shared Long Fei Ye's worries and made plans for the Hundred Poisons Sect. But now, he was completely unable to think.
Although he hadn't mentioned anything to Long Fei Ye, he couldn't help but feel flustered. Han Yunxi had never been unconscious for so long!
All kinds of cultivation carried the risk of qi deviation, and the poison storage space was no exception. If Han Yunxi really did go mad, would she never wake up?
Had Long Fei Ye ever wondered the same thing?
By now, all of Cloud Realm Continent was anxiously waiting for the big show at Hundred Poisons Sect. Many of its powers had gathered around the sect as well.
It had been a long time since Cloud Realm Continent had been so lively, right? But these two men had long forgotten about the excitement. They only wanted Han Yunxi to wake up. It wasn't because she was the only one who could attack Hundred Poisons Sect, but because she was the only one in their world.
Time didn't stop, and soon it was noon. The food that Baili Mingxiang had personally delivered was carried out untouched.
Baili Mingxiang stood by the door with her hands clasped in prayer. She had made the food, but didn't eat it herself. Whether it was the princess, His Highness, or Doctor Gu, she couldn't bear to look at them.
By now, Xu Donglin and Uncle Gao had returned.
Xu Donglin stood by the door and reported, "Your Highness, this subordinate and Uncle Gao went around town just then and saw a few familiar faces!"
If the princess wasn't unconscious, Xu Donglin would've bypassed His Highness and let her guess who they were. But now that she was unconscious, he couldn't muster up the courage to act impudently.
"It's Carefree City's City Lord Qi Zonglin and Young City Lord Qi Yaotian. They've come to join in the fun too," Xu Donglin reported.
Long Fei Ye had been in a bad mood for the past few days. As soon as he heard the words "Carefree City," his temper flared.
He suddenly stood up and dragged Han Yunxi's hand into the quilt. Then, he said to Gu Beiyue solemnly, "Protect her!"
After that, he left the room. Lead the way! "Leng Leng said to Xu Donglin.
Xu Donglin was somewhat dazed. For a moment, he didn't understand what His Highness meant.
Long Fei Ye's eyes were terrifyingly cold. He asked coldly, "Where is Qi Zonglin?"
When he asked several experts to escort Han Yunxi back to the governor's residence from Heaven Mountain, Han Yunxi had been ambushed by the people of Carefree City on her way back!
Qi Zonglin, as the mayor of a city, had led all the experts of Carefree City to besiege Han Yunxi, a weak woman who did not know any martial arts.
He was not only bullying Han Yunxi but also insulting Han Yunxi's man. Him!
If Gu hadn't arrived in time, God knew what Qi Zonglin would've done. It was unforgivable!
Although he had declared that whoever dared to be friends with Qi Zonglin would be enemies with him, Long Fei Ye, this couldn't be counted as revenge at all.
He had been unable to find time to settle the score with Qi Zonglin in person. Now that Qi Zonglin had come knocking on his door, he couldn't be blamed for being in a bad mood!
Under Xu Donglin's guidance, Long Fei Ye arrived at the entrance of a brothel in Great Central Town.
"Your Highness, I saw the father and son of the Qi family enter," Xu Donglin reported truthfully.
"Call them out," Long Fei Ye said indifferently. How could someone as obsessed with cleanliness as him enter a brothel? The only time he did so was to find Han Yunxi.
He lowered his eyes and didn't even look at the brothel.
"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Donglin's voice was shaking. He knew very well that when His Highness was angry, the calmer his tone was, the more furious he was.
Xu Donglin couldn't imagine what would happen when he entered the brothel.
Xu Donglin quickly found Qi Yaotian. Qi Yaotian had been poisoned when he attacked Han Yunxi and couldn't detoxify the poison in time, so he could only cut off his arm.
At this time, Qi Yaotian was standing by the railing on the second floor, looking at the singing and dancing in the lobby downstairs. His left arm was empty.
Xu Donglin walked forward and said politely, "Young hero, my master invites you."
Qi Yaotian turned around and replied Coldly, "Who?"
People who were looking for him were either here to kill him for revenge or to invite him to kill someone. Qi Yaotian took Xu Donglin's polite attitude as a business opportunity.
"You'll know when you get there." Xu Donglin didn't dare to tell the truth. If he told the truth, what if Qi Yaotian turned around and fled? He couldn't catch up to him, so where could he find him?
When looking for an assassin to negotiate a business deal, Xu Donglin was obviously misleading him on purpose. Sure enough, Qi Yaotian didn't ask any more questions. "Lead the way."
"Please!" Xu Donglin finally let out a sigh of relief.
Qi Yaotian didn't expect that the person looking for him would be standing at the entrance. He lowered his head. Although he had lost an arm, he was dressed as an assassin and had a cold expression. He was still intimidating.
When he went down from the second floor, everyone took the initiative to make way for him.
Outside the door, Long Fei Ye had already attracted a lot of onlookers. What kind of scene was this, a man who angered men and gods alike, standing at the entrance of the brothel with a cold expression?
Qi Yaotian was stunned when he saw Long Fei Ye after walking out of the door. His body's reaction was faster than his brain's. His face turned pale as he turned around to flee.
The body's reaction was faster than the brain's. This was called instinctive reaction. The people of Carefree City were afraid of Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye hadn't used his sword for a long time. However, even though Xu Donglin was staring at him, he couldn't clearly see Qi Yaotian unsheathing his sword. Instead, he was blinded by the sword's radiance.
When he looked again, Long Fei Ye fiercely slashed his sword and cut off Qi Yaotian's empty sleeve. Qi Yaotian also couldn't clearly see Long Fei Ye's move just now. However, he could feel that Long Fei Ye's sword energy was terrifying. It was far from what he had seen before.
How much had Long Fei Ye's martial arts improved after he returned from Heaven Mountain?
How could Qi Yaotian retaliate? He could only flee. However, he soon heard the whistling sound of sword energy. The moment he heard the whistling sound, his right arm was cut off. It was forcefully chopped off and blood splattered all over the ground.
Qi Yaotian was already vexed after losing an arm. Now that his other arm was cut off, he didn't even have a sword hand. He suddenly roared and turned around to charge at Long Fei Ye.
At this time, he finally saw the trembling sword in Long Fei Ye's hand pointing at his legs.
So, Long Fei Ye wanted to cut off his legs?
No!
Qi Yaotian immediately knelt down and loudly begged for mercy. "Long Fei Ye, Carefree City made things difficult for the Western Qin princess. We have never disrespected you. I beg you, please spare my life for the sake of our past cooperation! My Carefree City is willing to pledge loyalty to you from now on! "
At this time, the surrounding spectators finally learned of Long Fei Ye's identity. They were all very surprised!
No wonder this man was so eye-catching. So he was the East Qin Crown Prince, Long Fei Ye! He was here. Where was the Western Qin princess, Han Yunxi? Was she also here?
Carefree City had bullied the Western Qin princess. What was Long Fei Ye doing? Was he avenging the Western Qin princess?
The two of them were burdened with national enmity and had long turned against each other. They had no choice but to cooperate this time. Just what did Long Fei Ye mean by this?
Everyone began to talk amongst themselves. Most of the spectators had come from all over Cloud Realm Continent to watch the show.
Long Fei Ye didn't say a word. He was about to swing his sword a third time when Carefree City's City Lord, Qi Zonglin's voice rang out. "Who dares to bully me just now …"
Qi Zonglin had been enjoying himself in the comfort of his women when he heard the procuress say that Qi Yaotian had been beaten up at the door. He didn't ask for details before he rushed out. After all, anyone who could beat Qi Yaotian couldn't be weak.
By the time Qi Zonglin reached the door, he swallowed the rest of his words.
He didn't even notice his son's injuries as he stared in shock at Long Fei Ye. "You …"
Long Fei Ye wasn't so angry when he saw Qi Yaotian. At the sight of Qi Zonglin, the flames in Long Feiye's eyes burned fiercely …
