Baili Mingxiang rarely cried. She only cried when she was enduring the pain of the Beauty's Blood and when she was angered by Su Xiaoyu. She had already forgotten how long it had been since she cried.
But at this moment, her eyes were brimming with tears.
Only when she cried in the water could she not see her tears!
She had just dived into the water when she was swept down by the snake's tail, all the way to the bottom of the water. She spent a lot of effort to get rid of the snake and escape.
She did not dare to use the Lightstream Ball. She was afraid that once she used it to protect herself, she would not be able to protect His Highness and the princess.
Her strength was limited.
She desperately swam upstream. When she saw that the entire mirror maze had disappeared, she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly used the Lightstream Ball to protect His Highness and the princess.
After using the Lightstream Ball, she did not have much strength left, so she could not take them away as quickly as possible.
If it was not for the fact that she wanted to save His Highness and the princess, she might have already given up.
When she was about to draw her sword and make a move, she was actually very nervous. Her heart was trembling, but she had to force herself to hold it in.
She really wanted to turn around and look into the Lightstream Ball. She really wanted to ask His Highness and the princess for help. As long as His Highness and the others could kill the snake, she would still have the strength to send them into the Lightstream Ball!
Moreover, she would definitely be able to hold on and ensure that the Lightstream Ball would not shatter before she found the exit.
But she did not dare to look at them, did not dare to ask for their help.
She did not know when it started, but in front of them, she had become very careful. Originally, when she heard that she could return to the army, she felt that she had been redeemed. But now, she still continued to repay her debts. Her heart was tormented day and night, punishing her love that she should not have.
Long Fei Ye brought Han Yunxi and quickly swam to Baili Mingxiang's side. Gu followed closely behind and landed on the other side of Baili Mingxiang.
They all held their breaths and couldn't speak to her. His Highness kept staring at the big water snake and didn't look at her, but the princess's gaze fell on her.
The princess was currently examining the wounds on Baili Mingxiang's body. Baili Mingxiang's heart was filled with all sorts of feelings as she stared blankly at the princess. She wanted nothing more than to reach out and hug the princess tightly.
It was just like how the Princess had hugged her and given her strength when she was in pain because of the Beauty's Blood.
She really wanted to explain to the princess that she had liked His Highness since she was young. She had liked His Highness even before the princess met His Highness.
When she was young, she was tortured by the Beauty's Blood until she wished she was dead, so she jumped into the lotus pond to commit suicide. Even though she was a mermaid and did not know how to swim, she did not use any of the mermaid's skills. She just wanted to die.
It was His Highness who had saved her. It was His Highness who had given her a reason to live.
This quiet and unknown love had already existed five or six years before His Highness met the princess. It was deeply rooted in his heart.
She couldn't control her heart, but she had never thought of competing with the princess for anything. She had always remembered the princess's kindness to her.
If she could, she was willing to change, but she couldn't.
His Highness and the princess had both saved her life, but the princess had given her more warmth. How could she betray her? She had never been an ungrateful and insatiable person.
If she had an obsession, it was definitely not with His Highness, but with the relationship between her and His Highness and the Princess as master and servant.
She really wanted to go back to the past, before the secret in her heart was revealed to the public.
Baili Mingxiang lowered her head. Han Yunxi couldn't see her face, but she couldn't care so much for the time being, because the big water snake was slowly stretching its head towards them.
Long Fei Ye shielded Han Yunxi behind him. Han Yunxi reached out and pulled Baili Mingxiang over without thinking. Gu and Long Fei Ye stood side by side, and the two men faced the big water snake.
However, just as Long Fei Ye raised his sword, in an instant, everything shattered. It was as if the whole world had shattered. The big water snake disappeared into thin air, and the water seemed to be disappearing too.
Everyone only felt waves of dizziness, and very soon, everything around them changed, turning into a stone room!
They were clearly awake and had opened their eyes, but they couldn't understand how everything around them had suddenly become like this.
It seemed that the mirror maze was also an illusion.
Long Fei Ye immediately looked at Han Yunxi. "Are you okay?"
Han Yunxi pinched her temples. "I'm fine. How about you?"
"I'm fine." Long Fei Ye answered.
Gu Qishao craned his neck as he looked around. The Lightstream Ball had long disappeared. Gu Beiyue and Xu Donglin weren't far away, and they were also looking around.
Han Yunxi looked at Baili Mingxiang and stuffed a handkerchief into her hand.
There was no trace of tears in the water, but the rims of her eyes were clearly red.
Baili Mingxiang clenched the handkerchief, not daring to look up. Han Yunxi didn't have time to worry about her, because she quickly followed Long Fei Ye and the others and noticed that this stone room was different from the previous ones.
The walls of this stone room were covered in murals. One of them was exactly the same as the one on the Poison Sect's altar. Even the precious flowers and plants on the glazed walls had been carved onto it.
Han Yunxi quickly walked towards the wall where the flowers and plants were carved. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the flowers and leaves were all lifelike and lifelike. Moreover, every single one of them had a unique fruit growing out of it!
Long Fei Ye and the others also walked over and noticed this detail.
"This shouldn't be an illusion, right?" Gu asked.
A complicated look flitted through Han Yunxi's eyes. "Quick, let's split up and finish looking at the murals on the walls. Otherwise, they'll disappear."
There must be a lot of things recorded on these murals. Perhaps there was something they were looking for.
Everyone agreed with Han Yunxi's words and immediately split up. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi stayed by the western wall to study the altar. Gu headed south while Gu Beiyue and Xu Donglin headed north. Baili Mingxiang didn't stay idle either. She quickly calmed down and headed to the eastern wall.
It took a long time for everyone to figure out the details of their respective murals.
The western wall depicted the Poison Sect's sacrificial ceremonies, as well as the origins of the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds.
Medical City had existed long before the Eastern and Western Qin imperial clans unified Cloud Realm Continent. It was only after the Eastern and Western Qin Empires were destroyed that Medical City's power began to grow.
Medical City and the Poison Sect that grew out of it had a long history. However, the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds had a much longer history than Medical City's Poison Sect.
In ancient times, the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds were a gathering place for a group of venomous wolves. They called themselves the Snow Wolf Clan, and the venomous snow wolves they worshipped were neither alive nor dead. They could only be destroyed by a mysterious power.
In the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds, a pack of venomous wolves had gathered around the Sky Pit. Later on, they were all killed by someone with a mysterious power, leaving behind only a single cub that managed to survive in the depths of the Sky Pit.
The Snow Wolf Clan feared that force, so they changed their names and hid in the forests of the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. They rarely showed themselves.
They erected a wordless stele in the western forest to commemorate the snow wolves and built a sacrificial altar to worship them every year.
The Snow Wolf Clan had the power of the poison storage space, so they could cultivate their poison arts to an extremely high level.
The poison fruits in the glazed walls had been dug out from the Poison Sect's Skypit by the Snow Wolf cub. There were ten of them in total, and they needed 300 years to bloom and bear fruit. The fruits would only be ripe and usable after that.
Later on, the Snow Wolf Clan's numbers dwindled, and Medical City took over the former city of the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. Once Medical City was established, it split off from the Poison Sect and took over the entire back mountain.
The daughter of the Snow Wolf Clan and the head of the Poison Sect secretly married each other. Together, they controlled the forbidden grounds of the Poison Sect. With the Snow Wolf Clan's help, the Poison Sect began to plant poisonous plants in the forbidden grounds. Gradually, the Poison Sect began to develop.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi couldn't help exclaiming, "The Poison Sect hid the matter of the Snow Wolf Clan from Medical City!"
Long Fei Ye was shocked by something else. "Lil Thing, could it be that cub?"
It had to be said that this possibility was too great! Lil Thing was undying and indestructible. Heaven knows how long it had lived.
As expected, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye continued to read and saw murals and words describing how the snow wolf cub grew up and became the Poison Sect's poison beast. Snow wolves and the Snow Wolf Clan were connected mentally, so they could enter the Snow Wolf Clan's poison storage space to cultivate.
They were supposed to be worshipped, but they ended up as pets?
If the little thing were to recall these things, what would it feel like?
Long Fei Ye said to Han Yunxi, "It looks like you have the Snow Wolf Clan's blood in you as well."
"No wonder Lil Thing recognized me and was so close to me," Han Yunxi smiled.
The two of them continued to read, and the murals and words began to talk about the Poison Sect raising Poison Gu humans.
When the Poison Sect members saw that the snow wolves were undying and indestructible, they tried to figure out the reason for their immortality. Later, they found a large patch of withered poisonous plants in the Sky Pit without any fruit.
There were a total of forty-nine types of poisonous plants in this patch, and the ten stalks of poisonous plants planted on the altar's glazed wall were among them.
Han Yunxi was shocked. "So the Poison Sect suspected that the snow wolves ate these poisonous fruits to become undying and indestructible?"
Long Fei Ye was also surprised. He thought that the snow wolves were born with this constitution, but it turned out that they ate it too.
As they continued reading, they discovered that the Poison Sect had collected forty-nine types of dead poisonous plants to study and refine their toxins. They were also studying them together with the ten living poisonous plants in the Colored Glass Wall in an attempt to create a medicine that could make people immortal and indestructible.
In order to confuse people, they called them Poison Gu humans and made people think that they were nurtured. In reality, they didn't need to be nurtured and only needed to take medicine.
This was what was recorded on the western wall. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye impatiently looked to the south, wanting to know what was going on next.
This secret room's walls, murals, and words were like the annals of the Poison Sect's history!
In the south, Gu was also stunned. He turned to Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi and said, "I know how the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion came about!"
