Long Fei Ye landed first with Han Yunxi. This abyss was much deeper than they had imagined. It was like a deep ravine with a small stream flowing through it. The vegetation was lush and covered the sky. It was very cool and even the air was humid.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye looked around but did not see Bai Yanqing's body. They did not notice anything strange.
After all, Long Fei Ye had stabbed Bai Yanqing in the heart personally. Moreover, after Bai Yanqing fell off the cliff, his body was hanging on a tree. Long Fei Ye had personally checked his breathing. After confirming that he was dead, he kicked the body down the abyss.
Even if he was still gasping for his last breath, how could he not die after falling from such a high place? Perhaps even his body could not be preserved.
They only thought that the body was nearby and were not in a hurry to look for it. Instead, they waited for the Shadow Guard to bring Gu Beiyue down.
Han Yunxi was not in a good mood, especially in this abyss. Her depressed mood was written all over her face.
Long Fei Ye had already noticed it. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry. You didn't kill him."
He knew that what she could not let go of was the word "patricide". At that time, even he did not expect that Bai Yanqing would say something like that and acknowledge his daughter at that time.
Perhaps Han Yunxi could no longer stay calm from then on?
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye and asked, "I … told you to kill him, right?"
She was indeed not calm at that time and could not think. Now that she thought about it, she forgot what she said to Long Fei Ye at that time.
Long Fei Ye remembered very clearly that when Bai Yanqing acknowledged his daughter, Han Yunxi was stunned for a long time. In the end, she said to him, "I only trust you in this world. What are you hesitating for?"
She did not have the heart to kill her father. She refused to admit that she had a father like Bai Yanqing.
Long Fei Ye held her hand tightly. "Han Yunxi, you just have to remember that you didn't kill him. I killed him! Back then, the Wind Clan joined forces with the Black Clan and the Di Clan to destroy my East Qin. I have to settle this debt! "
Back then, the East and West Qin had a grudge. However, the Black Clan was the one who truly destroyed the Western Qin royal family and the Wind was the East Qin royal family.
Today, even if Han Yunxi did not make up her mind, Long Fei Ye would not show mercy!
Han Yunxi then looked up at Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye said again, "Bai Yanqing is not your father. You are not the Han Yunxi of the Han Family!"
"No. He is … "
Before Han Yunxi could finish, Long Fei Ye interrupted her. He said, "Why did Madam Tianxin hide her identity and marry into the Han Family? Why did she have a difficult birth? Bai Yanqing clearly knows your identity, but he still refuses to acknowledge you! Don't you think this is too strange? He acknowledged you as his daughter at a time of life and death. Do you really believe his words? "
Although Long Fei Ye's words were comforting, they were not without reason.
Han Yunxi looked at him as if she wanted to say something. However, in the end, she did not say anything. She was reflecting if she had been too impulsive. With Bai Yanqing dead, who would know about Madam Tianxin's past?
What if Bai Yanqing was not her father? Then who was her father? Was he alive or dead? Where could she find out?
Han Yunxi was silent. Long Fei Ye did not say anything either. He held her hand and interlocked his fingers with hers.
Actually, words were the most powerless. A hug or a tight grip was actually more reassuring.
They waited for a while before the Shadow Guard brought Gu Beiyue down.
"Have you found the body?" Gu Beiyue asked seriously.
"We were waiting for you. The body should be nearby. Let's split up and search," Long Fei Ye said calmly.
Gu Beiyue only needed to glance at Han Yunxi to know that something was wrong with her emotions. A faint smile flitted across his lips. Long Fei Ye was not waiting for him. He was clearly giving Han Yunxi time to calm down.
It had to be said that Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's actions regarding the Hundred Poisons Sect incident were rather impulsive.
Gu Beiyue did not say much. Although they had been impulsive today, there was no better way. Judging from the way Bai Yanqing had waited at the foot of the mountain for so long, no matter what the truth between East and Western Qin was, Bai Yanqing would definitely sow discord in front of everyone.
Cloud Realm's situation had developed to this point. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had reached this point. If they didn't use this opportunity to find a reason to cooperate, what would happen between East and Western Qin after Bai Yanqing's death?
Very soon, they split up to search for Bai Yanqing's body. However, when they walked around the area, they all panicked.
Bai Yanqing's body was nowhere to be seen, including in the shallow stream. Only a pool of blood could be seen not far away.
"Your Highness, are you sure Bai Yanqing is dead?" Gu Beiyue's originally pale face was now so pale that there was no trace of blood.
If Bai Yanqing wasn't dead, then the situation was serious!
However, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's expressions were even uglier. Long Fei Ye said seriously, "I personally checked his breathing. He's no longer breathing! A sword to the heart … "
At this point, Long Fei Ye seemed to have thought of something and stopped abruptly.
Hadn't there once been a person who had been stabbed in the heart with a dagger? Hadn't that person also lived well?
Seeing Long Fei Ye's strange behavior, Gu Beiyue asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
"After confirming that he's dead, let's search again!" Even though Long Fei Ye was facing Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue, he didn't reveal Gu's secret.
"Alright!" Gu Beiyue didn't pursue the matter.
They went south and north respectively, searching almost the entire deep stream. It wasn't until the next morning that they reunited at the same spot.
"Could the body have been stolen?" Han Yunxi could only think of this possibility.
She saw with her own eyes that Bai Yanqing's heart had been stabbed. Moreover, it wasn't caused by sword qi, but by the Profound Frost Sword. How could he have survived in such a situation?
Next, Long Feiye checked Bai Yanqing's breathing. As she saw it, he was being exceedingly cautious and even superfluous.
"The possibility of the body being stolen isn't high." Gu Beiyue said seriously.
In Hundred Poisons Sect, other than Bai Yanqing and Jun Yi Xie who were highly skilled in martial arts, everyone else had won with poison. Even that girl Bai Yuqiao's martial arts were average. Almost no one in Hundred Poisons Sect could go down such a deep abyss.
Moreover, Shi Jiuxia had surrendered to Han Yunxi on the spot. Who else in Hundred Poisons Sect would take such a risk to search for Bai Yanqing's body? Since he was already dead, it was useless even if they found it.
"Could it have been bitten by a poisonous beast?" Han Yunxi asked again. However, when she said this, even she herself felt that it was untenable.
Poisonous beasts that ate corpses were extremely rare. Even if they did, they would have left traces whether they killed the body on the spot or dragged it away! But besides a pool of blood, they didn't find any other traces.
The three of them fell silent. Actually, they all had the same worry, but they didn't say it out loud.
In the end, it was Gu Beiyue who spoke up first. "Your Highness, Princess, Bai Yanqing might have … faked his death."
"But he clearly …"
Han Yunxi was about to retort, but Long Fei Ye cut her off. "Have you heard of the Poison Sect's Poison Gu humans?"
Back when he found out that Gu hadn't died after being stabbed in his heart, he had been investigating the reason.
The Poison Sect had been caught by Medical City because of their research on Poison Gu humans. In the end, the entire sect was destroyed.
Rumor had it that the method to raise Poison Gu humans hadn't been successful, and Gu's father, Academy Head Gu, had been secretly researching the secret recipe for raising Poison Gu humans all this time. But did any of the Poison Sect's direct descendants succeed in researching the secret recipe? Did the Poison Sect's direct descendant gain control of the recipe and succeed? Who could say for sure? Who could guarantee it?
Long Fei Ye hadn't believed it at first, but Gu's appearance changed his mind.
Gu Yuntian's secret had been exposed at Medical City's medical skills competition. Although he'd been secretly researching the Poison Sect's secret arts all this time, it seemed that he hadn't succeeded in his research based on what he'd found in the underground chamber. It seemed that Gu hadn't been raised into a Poison Gu human by Gu Yuntian.
But Gu's immortality was an iron-clad fact. So why hadn't Gu died? Gu was familiar with everything about the Poison Sect. Could he have used other means to raise himself into a Poison Gu human?
At this time, Long Fei Ye didn't have time to think about Gu. He only knew that immortals did exist in this world.
When he killed Bai Yanqing, he hadn't considered that possibility at all. Time had been tight. First, the mercenaries and poison guards couldn't hold on for long. If they delayed any longer, Shi Jiuxia wouldn't be the only one coming. The more people knew about this, the more troublesome it would be. Second, Baili Mingxiang had also been poisoned, leaving Han Yunxi limited time to treat the poison. Third, the people at the foot of the mountain couldn't wait for long.
Now that he thought about it carefully, Bai Yanqing was a direct descendant of the Poison Sect. If he hadn't died after being struck, he had to be a Poison Gu human!
"Poison Gu human …" Gu Beiyue broke out in cold sweat.
Han Yunxi's face was deathly pale, and she didn't speak for a long time.
The two of them had only just realized what was going on. Poison Gu human was enough to explain the strange disappearance of the corpse.
Bai Yanqing wasn't dead, so they were in big trouble.
Bai Yanqing had an immortal body, so they were in even bigger trouble!
Long Fei Ye was the calmest of the three. He asked seriously, "What exactly is a Poison Gu human?"
There were many legends about Poison Gu humans. Some said they were immortal, indestructible, and immortal. Others said they were invulnerable to weapons and poisons. There were even some who said that Poison Gu humans were the evolved form of Poison Corpses and could be controlled by their masters.
Gu Beiyue shook his head, and so did Han Yunxi.
The Poison Gu Man was a legend of the Poison Sect to begin with. Forget them, even the elders of Medical City might not have a definite answer.
A complicated look flitted through Long Fei Ye's eyes. It looked like he still had to meet Gu again, even though he didn't want to see that untrustworthy fellow ever again.
"Is there a way to kill a Poison Gu human?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
"Your Highness, the problem at hand isn't how to kill Bai Yanqing, but how to stop him!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
"Once he shows up, everything we said today will be overturned!" Han Yunxi was worried about this as well.
Bai Yanqing only needed to show up and he didn't need to say anything to overturn everything she and Long Fei Ye had said today. No matter what the world thought, the Eastern, Western Qin and Eastern Qin factions would definitely be dissatisfied. Forget her, even Long Fei Ye would find it hard to convince the masses.
"Your Highness, today's matter lacked consideration," Gu Beiyue didn't want to say much at first, but since Bai Yanqing wasn't dead, he had no choice but to say it.
Gu Beiyue and Han Yunxi were worried that Bai Yanqing would expose their lies today, but Long Fei Ye wasn't as worried.
He looked at Han Yunxi and asked, "Do you regret it?"
