Nangong Xue said, "You shut up too!" Tears suddenly gushed out of her eyes. She looked at the lifeless Qian Yu on the bed and said in a daze, "That cup of tea was left for me by Shixiong. He … he hates me so much that not only did he abandon me, he even wanted to poison me to death? And because I didn't drink it, I implicated Elder Qian. I … I am the sinner! "
Xuan Shuang was not used to her weeping and unhappily said, "Don't worry, he won't die. It's just that when he wakes up, he won't be used to having a strange woman in his house. If he has another lover outside, then when he wakes up, he will be devoted to his wife. He should be thanking me for saving his beautiful marriage. "
Nangong Xue raised her misty eyes and looked at his face. She was still as cold as a knife and said, "What's going on? You … what are you talking about? You already knew that the tea was poisoned, didn't you? It was my Shixiong who told you to do this, wasn't it? "Xuan Shuang thought," Oh no, I spilled the beans! "He waved his hand and said," No, no, I was just guessing. "

Li Yijie had just taken a step when he was immediately forced to retreat by a hail of arrows. After trying several times to no avail, he knew that since this obstacle was set up, he couldn't force his way through. He took out several secret projectiles and used the 'rain of flowers filling the sky' technique to throw them. He focused his attention on the direction of the projectiles. When the second projectile was thrown, he closed his eyes and used his hearing to determine the direction. When dealing with secret projectiles, the most important thing was not to have good hearing and vision, but to have a keen sense of vigilance. Only then could one prevent trouble before it happened.
After confirming many times, he finally came to a conclusion that was half happy and half worried. He was happy because there were a total of eight shooting locations, all of which were under his control. What was worrisome was that under every mechanism, the short arrows that were shot out did not have a fixed direction. They simply followed the direction of the arrow and bounced to where it went. If he rashly went forward, even if he could avoid most of them, he would still be hit by one or two arrows. He didn't know if the arrows were poisoned, so he couldn't take the risk.
If he wanted to pass this obstacle, it seemed that the only way was to use the secret projectiles and destroy one of the mechanisms. With his skill, he didn't have to worry about deviating from his position. However, there was another layer of concern in his heart. "The reason why the human world has been peaceful for so long is because there are many mechanisms in this Blood Cave. If I were to destroy all of them, it would be much easier for mortals to become demons … "
However, if one has the intention to become a demon, like Jiang Liechen, no matter how many obstacles there are, one can always find a way to break through. If he was strong enough to become a demon, no matter how many layers of restrictions there were in the outside world, it wouldn't be a problem. For the weaker ones, this place was more or less of no concern. In order to accomplish the great task at hand, one should not be afraid of the slightest thing.
With a hidden weapon in his fingers, he was just about to draw out an arrow and seize the opportunity to attack when he suddenly had a thought: That senior said that many people had entered the cave in the early years, but none of them came out alive. Since there were no corpses here, it meant that they had passed this trial. The mechanism did not necessarily need to be destroyed, it was just that he did not know how to do it.

Two fast horses were galloping on the main road. The one in front was a woman wearing aqua blue clothes. She repeatedly brandished the whip in her hand and shouted clearly, as if she wished she could whip the horse's hooves into the air and soar into the sky. The other horse followed closely behind. On the horse was a handsome young man wearing luxurious clothes. With a bitter face he called out, "Slow down, slow down. You're running so fast. Are you rushing to be reincarnated or what?"
The woman shouted, "There's no time to dawdle. You quickly follow me!" She raised her hand and pulled the reins, pulling the two horses closer to each other.
The young man cried out in alarm and pretended to be flustered. Borrowing the momentum, he threw himself onto the horse's back and complained incessantly, "Aiyo, I haven't seen you this rude! Whoever marries you deserves eight lifetimes of bad luck! "The woman snapped," Don't be so long-winded! You Manchurian brothers, who are afraid of riding horses? Hey, can you tell me now? "
Naturally, Nangong Xue and Xuan Shuang were the only ones who could stage such a scene in public and attract the attention of passers-by. Just now, Xuan Shuang had a slip of the tongue in his room. Unable to withstand Nangong Xue's repeated questioning, he finally decided to say, "I'm sorry, Xiongdi." He added, "This matter is related to Alliance Master Li's illustrious reputation. There are too many people here, so it's not convenient to talk about it in detail. I'll tell you as we go."
Only then did Nangong Xue stop chattering. Without waiting for him to regain his composure, she grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the door. Without explaining to the stunned Wulin Union members, she went straight to the stable and took out two fine horses. She pulled him onto one and jumped onto the other, then galloped away. Xuan Shuang was secretly amazed. He thought, "She didn't even ask where we're going. She's in such a hurry, isn't she afraid that she'll go in the opposite direction?"
Just as he was having fun, Nangong Xue suddenly pulled him over. His fall wasn't entirely an act. He forced a smile and said, "Why are the words' Explain Alliance Master Li's whereabouts in detail 'carved on my face? Why are you so sure that I'll know? Aren't you just bullying an honest person … Ai, alright, alright. I just told him that he'll go to the Demonic Blood Cave in the snowy mountains in the northwest to change his blood and become a demon. At that time, although he'll be as strong as a demon in human form, he won't recognize anyone. Unless he finds a scapegoat and feeds him a bottle of Poisonous Dragon's Bile, he'll die from the poison after the final battle. It's all a joke. The reason why I told him so much was because I didn't want him to try. I … how would I know that Alliance Master Li would be so stubborn as to do such a stupid thing? "
Nangong Xue was stunned. "You … you … why didn't you say so earlier?" She was so angry that she had nothing to say. Suddenly, she pulled the reins of her horse and galloped in the opposite direction. Xuan Shuang called out, "Hey, hey! What are you doing?" Seeing that she didn't turn around and was already far away, he spat and said, "Damn it, women are so troublesome!" He pulled the reins and followed behind her.
Xuan Shuang was very familiar with the roads in the capital. Seeing the scenery around him change, he realized that they were getting closer to the imperial palace. He couldn't deceive himself anymore. He stopped and called out, "Hey, if you want to go to the palace, I won't go with you!" Nangong Xue didn't show any intention of stopping. Her back was far away, her voice carried by the wind, "Do as you wish." Xuan Shuang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He muttered to himself, "Yo, is this considered burning the bridge after crossing the river? You know that you don't need me at the snowy mountains in the northwest? But I won't let you be satisfied! "

Li Yijie stared at the corridor in front of him. Other than the fact that it was very narrow, there was nothing out of the ordinary. He threw out several secret projectiles to test the waters, but the corridor was still quiet; there was no movement at all. The moment he stood in this bloody cave, he knew that it was going to be extremely dangerous. He couldn't lower his guard at all times. A person who has been honed for a long time is always cautious, far more so than a greenhorn. There is a saying, "Caution is the parent of safety." When encountering a problem, one can always be more careful, and often one can leave one's own way out.
After waiting quietly for a while, he took out his sword and explored the path. For every step he took, he placed his sword against the walls on both sides, carefully feeling for any protruding holes. He also used the hilt of his sword to step on them one by one. Only then did he dare to move forward with confidence.
In this tomb, the biggest abnormality was that there was no abnormality. The string in his heart was always tightly stretched. He was afraid that if he stayed in this unknown darkness for too long, not only would all hope be obliterated, even his faith would be completely destroyed. He took another step forward. Finally, the monster that had been sealed for so long was awakened. With a loud rumbling sound, he saw a huge rock coming toward him with the force of a thunderbolt.

The Xuan Shuang frowned. He shielded his eyes from the sun with his hand and looked at the extremely luxurious mansion in front of him. He said disdainfully, "Isn't this the home of that cowardly Shangguan Yaohua? What are we doing here? "
The Nangong Xue didn't answer his question. She dismounted from her horse and bowed to the guard standing in front of the mansion with a spear in hand. She said, "Big brother, can I trouble you to inform Prince Cheng of my arrival? This little girl has a very important matter and wants to ask him for help. "The Xuan Shuang snorted. He whistled from his horse's back and imitated the guard's response.
The guard said, "Miss Nangong, I am very sorry. Prince Cheng is very busy with official business. I'm afraid he won't have time to see you. Please go back first. "His words were exactly the same as what the Xuan Shuang had imitated. His tone was also very skilled, as if he had practiced this many times before. The Nangong Xue hurriedly replied, "It's okay. I can wait for him. " She looked around and found an open space. She led her horse over and gently stroked the horse's head. It really did look like she had been waiting for a long time.
The guards at the gate exchanged glances with each other. Their faces said, "Trouble is coming." Finally, one of the guards was forced to speak up. He smiled apologetically to the Nangong Xue and said, "Miss Nangong, you also know that our prince has just been conferred the title of Imperial Prince. He is highly regarded by the Emperor. Naturally, he has to do something to repay the Emperor's kindness. Right now, his workload is twice as heavy as usual. He really can't find the time … Ay, even if Miss Nangong waits until nightfall, our prince will … Miss Nangong, please come back another day. "He had a pitiful expression on his face.
The Xuan Shuang whistled and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Are you here to humiliate yourself? Just because Alliance Head Li's matter is not suitable for the Wulin Alliance, you want to borrow soldiers from this coward? Let me tell you, anyone in the world can help you, but you can't count on him. He's a coward who is busy protecting his golden position. He's most afraid that something will go wrong at this moment. Why would he take the initiative to get involved in this matter? Who knows what kind of excuses he'll come up with to evade us. I say, let's hurry up and leave … "
The Nangong Xue turned a deaf ear. She took out a golden leaf from her sleeve and stuffed it into the guard's hand, saying, "Big Brother Guard, if I don't see Prince Cheng today, I won't leave. You also know about my relationship with your prince, right? If I want to see him, he definitely won't stop me. Please go and inform him. This small amount of money is not enough to show my respect. Use it to buy two taels of wine. "
