At this very moment, an extremely frightening thing was happening in the abyss.
Bai Yanqing was clearly dead. He'd been shot in the heart and had fallen from such a high place. Moreover, Long Fei Ye had already confirmed that he wasn't breathing. However, he actually stood up shakily.
Yes!
He wasn't dead!
He would never die!
Unless Long Fei Ye could cultivate to the third level of the Lustbite energy and combine it with his Nirvana powers to control the world's greatest power, no one in this world would be able to kill him. Except for time …
Except for natural aging, he was invincible in this world!
Because he'd already uncovered the secret recipe for the Poison Sect's legendary Poison Gu Man, he'd raised himself into a Poison Gu Man in a fit of rage after being hurt by love!
Thus, Long Fei Ye's Lustbite energy was his only nemesis. Even if he had to give up on inciting discord between Eastern and Western Qin, he still wanted Baili Mingxiang dead!
Of course, he wouldn't easily reveal that he was a Poison Gu Man.
He didn't want to become the world's enemy, Cloud Realm's public enemy!
Besides, one of the poisons needed to break the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was the Poison Gu Man's blood. Once his secret was exposed, he'd be in big trouble.
Breaking the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion required the five elements poisons: Water, Earth, Fire, Metal, and Wood of Ten Thousand Poisons. He also needed the four great poisons: poison beast blood, poison corpse blood, beauty's blood, and Poison Gu Man's blood.
He controlled the world's only Poison Gu Man's blood.
The poison beast blood could be regenerated, the ten thousand year old poison corpse blood jade could be found, and the beauty's blood could be reproduced. However, the Poison Gu Man's blood was unique! Even if he had the secret recipe for raising a Poison Gu Man, he wouldn't be able to raise a second one.
That was because all the poison plants were unique. He'd already used them all back then.
When he'd heard about Gu's childhood in Medical City, he'd suspected that Gu had been secretly raised as a Poison Gu Man, which was why he was immune to all kinds of diseases.
But after careful consideration, he rejected this idea.
He didn't know what kind of physique Gu had, and he wasn't very interested.
Now, his enemies were Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi, the East Qin camp and the Western Qin camp.
He was curious whether Han Yunxi couldn't accept her background or whether she knew the truth. That was why she was so determined not to acknowledge him.
He didn't mind slowly figuring out everything, playing with them slowly and making the stakes bigger.
He wanted to see who would regret it in the end!
Bai Yanqing went up the cliff. The cliff was so high that he could not see the end. He could only see a vast expanse of whiteness above his head. There was fog in the abyss.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned to leave. His thin figure quickly disappeared into the forest.
At this moment, the little thing, which had been in a daze for a long time, finally regained its senses.
Heavens, I clearly felt Mama Yunxi's presence just then! Very close!
Could it be that the owner of the Dark Space had gone to find Mama Yunxi? Why is this naughty fellow looking for Mama Yunxi? Does Mama Yunxi know I've been locked up?
What was the situation now? It couldn't feel Mama Yunxi again.
Lil Thing became irritated and charged forward with all its might into the darkness ahead. However, it was quickly bounced back by an invisible force.
Because of the contract, it could not only enter and exit Mama Yunxi's poison storage space, but also sense what was happening outside. But now that it was locked up in the Dark Space, it couldn't sense anything outside. It could only sense Mama Yunxi's approach.
Could it be that Mama Yunxi has left?
The more Lil Thing thought, the more uneasy it felt. Unconsciously, it thought of the gentleman.
Suddenly, it raised its head and let out a howl. The howl echoed heavily in the large black space, sounding especially desolate.
Gentleman, don't die, all right?
Mama Yunxi, where are you?
Lil Thing misses you guys?
Currently, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were still on the cliff.
Long Fei Ye had given Han Yunxi plenty of time, so she didn't tarry for long.
Of course Han Yunxi was worried about Lil Thing. Like Gu Beiyue, she suspected that Lil Thing was in Bai Yanqing's poison storage space.
She didn't know if the poison storage space would disappear after a person died. She could only deal with the important matters at hand first before looking for Lil Thing.
Killing Bai Yanqing was just a means. What came next was their true goal! This was her true resolve from the start.
No matter how uneasy her heart was, she had to hide it and endure it!
At this point, there was no reason to waste all her previous efforts. She could only keep moving forward. At the very least, she knew she hadn't wronged or disappointed anyone with her choice.
She wanted to be together with Long Fei Ye openly. She wanted there to be no more enmity between Western Qin and Eastern Qin. She wanted to join hands with Long Fei Ye to build a new nation. She wanted the land they ruled to be eternally peaceful!
Han Yunxi stood up and said Coldly, "Shi Jiuxia, tell me, how should this princess silence you?!"
Shi Jiuxia had killed his way out of the encirclement of female mercenaries and poison guards to find his way here. He'd heard everything Bai Yanqing had said, including the fact that Han Yunxi was Bai Yanqing's daughter.
It had to be said that Shi Jiuxia was astonished by all of this!
"Han Yunxi, you killed your father!" Shi Jiuxia reprimanded.
"Bai Yanqing was killed by this crown prince! He slandered my East Qin and sowed discord between Western Qin and Eastern Qin. He deserved to die! "Long Fei Ye raged.
"It was your East Qin that started the war back then! Long Fei Ye, your East Qin is the culprit that destroyed the Great Qin Empire! "Shi Jiuxia accused.
Long Fei Ye was about to speak when Han Yunxi firmly said, "No! Bai Yanqing didn't say that just now! Shi Jiuxia, you heard wrong. Bai Yanqing said that the enmity between Western Qin and Eastern Qin was instigated by the Feng Clan. The enmity between Western Qin and Eastern Qin was just a misunderstanding! The culprit, the Feng Clan, was admitted by Bai Yanqing himself! "
Han Yunxi was lying through her teeth!
In fact, she had already prepared these lines. As long as Bai Yanqing was dead, the truth would be determined by her and Long Fei Ye! Even if she had to lie to the world, she would go all out.
Seeing Han Yunxi's cold eyes, the originally aggressive Shi Jiuxia was a bit scared and unconsciously took a step back.
Of course, he understood what Han Yunxi's words meant.
Han Yunxi was warning him to cooperate with their lies, or else they'd kill him to silence him.
Shi Jiuxia had always lived in seclusion, wholeheartedly helping Jun Yi Xie manage the Hundred Poisons Sect. He wasn't very clear about the enmity between Eastern and Western Qin. He had heard that Han Yunxi was a very ruthless woman, but he never thought that Han Yunxi would be this ruthless!
Not only did this woman kill her father, she also wanted to deceive both Eastern and Western Qin, deceiving the world.
The most terrifying thing was that this woman in front of him didn't have the slightest bit of fear or guilt. Instead, she was so domineering, decisive, and magnificent.
What kind of woman was this?
Shi Jiuxia was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. Long Fei Ye's sword was already at his neck.
Long Fei Ye said, "You don't have much time left. Choose for yourself if you want to die here or continue to lead the Hundred Poisons Sect!"
This was a combination of kindness and severity.
"Elder Shi, do you believe that Bai Yanqing is prepared to sacrifice the Hundred Poisons Sect today? Why would you linger around such a master?" Han Yunxi sneered. "If not for Long Fei Ye's plan, I would have destroyed the Poisonous Corpse Pool. I'll also tell you responsibly that even if the Poisonous Corpse Pool is destroyed, even if I burn down the Hundred Poisons Sect, Bai Yanqing won't come up the mountain. "
Shi Jiuxia didn't understand the affairs of the world. He didn't know why Bai Yanqing wanted to stay at the pagoda at the foot of the mountain. In fact, he was also very surprised by Bai Yanqing's sudden appearance today. He was so anxious on the mountain that he thought Bai Yanqing wouldn't come. He thought that Hundred Poisons Sect's reputation would be completely lost.
He was already dissatisfied with Bai Yanqing's actions today. After hearing Han Yunxi's words, he was somewhat shaken.
Seeing the hesitation in Shi Jiuxia's eyes, Han Yunxi pressed on. "Shi Jiuxia, do you think the Hundred Poisons Sect can survive if you die?"
As she spoke, she suddenly closed in, narrowed her eyes and warned fiercely, "I promise I'll burn this mountain down. I mean what I say!"
Long Fei Ye didn't like Han Yunxi getting too close to any man. Before he could pull Han Yunxi back, Shi Jiuxia stumbled back in fright. He stared at Han Yunxi in disbelief.
Although he wasn't the head of the sect, he'd devoted his entire life to the Hundred Poisons Sect. He'd poured his heart and soul into the sect. How could he bear to see the sect destroyed?
Long Fei Ye silently lowered his hand and continued to watch as Han Yunxi subdued Shi Jiuxia.
If Bai Yanqing died, it wouldn't be easy to convince the people at the foot of the mountain to believe him and Han Yunxi. However, it would be much easier if Shi Jiuxia stepped forward.
"Shi Jiuxia, I'm a direct descendant of the Poison Sect and its head. Medical City has already acknowledged my status and cleared the Poison Sect's name. If you surrender to me, do you think I'll treat you unfairly? I promise you the position of head of the Hundred Poisons Sect will be yours. Moreover, Medical and Medicine City will never ostracize Hundred Poisons Sect again, "Han Yunxi added.
She'd laid out two paths for Shi Jiuxia. One was a dead end, while the other was a broad, open road!
Shi Jiuxia's heart belonged to the Hundred Poisons Sect, not Bai Yanqing or Jun Yi Xie. How could he not be moved? But he was still hesitant. How could there be such a good deal in the world?
Would Han Yunxi trust him so much? Wasn't Han Yunxi afraid he'd reveal the truth one day?
Before he could probe further, Han Yunxi tossed him a bottle of poison. Coldly, she said, "If you don't want to die, drink this poison. I'll only give you the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
Looking at the poison in his hand, Shi Jiuxia felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
He wanted the Hundred Poisons Sect to survive and become one of Cloud Realm Continent's honorable powers one day. Even more than that, he wanted to continue living well.
Without hesitation, Shi Jiuxia downed the antidote in one gulp. He was an expert in poisons, but even he couldn't tell what kind of poison it was. He only knew that it was a poison that flared up on a regular basis.
After confirming that Shi Jiuxia had taken the antidote, Han Yunxi exhaled in relief. "Every ten days, I'll have someone give you an antidote. If you're curious about the consequences of the poison, you can give it a try. But you'll definitely regret it! "
Shi Jiuxia was curious, but Han Yunxi's tone made it impossible for him to test it. Everyone who made poisons knew how terrible it would be to live a life worse than death after the poison acted up.
Han Yunxi whistled to summon a poison guard to send the unconscious Xu Donglin down the mountain. Baili Mingxiang recovered her strength after the antidote was cured.
She clutched the Raging Red Lotus Flame in her sleeve, uneasy, but still came forward. "Princess, Your Highness, this servant …"
