Chapter 955: Terrifying reality (1/2)
Something terrifying was occurring at the bottom of the canyon.
Bai Yanqing was clearly dead. His heart had been stabbed through, then his body had suffered a fall from tremendous heights. Moreover, Long Feiye had even determined that he wasn’t breathing anymore. Yet somehow, he’d gotten to his feet with shaking legs.
That’s right!
He didn’t die!
He would never die!
Unless Long Feiye cultivated past the full three limits of the Lustbite Seal and merged its Lustbite energy with his own Nirvana Heart Arts internal qi to control the strongest force in the world, nothing else could kill him.
Only time...and the deterioration of age were his enemies in this world!
The truth was that he’d deciphered the legendary accounts of Poison Gu humans left behind by the Poison Sect. After suffering heartbreak in the past, he’d nurtured himself into a Poison Gu in a fit of rage! Thus, Long Feiye’s Lustbite energy was his only weak spot. Even if he gave up on sowing discord between East and West Qin, he still wanted Baili Mingxiang dead!
Naturally, he would never tell the world that he was a Poison Gu. He didn’t want to be public enemy number one! Moreover, one of the ingredients to mastering the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was blood of a Poison Gu. Once his secret was exposed, his troubles would begin.
Five elemental poisons were required to break through the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion: Water, Earth, First, Metal and Wood of Ten-Thousand Poisons. Four more toxic blood types were also needed from the poison beast, poison corpse, Beauty’s Blood, and Poison Gu.
He was the sole host of Poison Gu blood in the world. The poison beast’s blood could replenish itself, the poison corpse’s blood from the Ten-Thousand Year Old Blood Jade could be found elsewhere, and the Beauty’s Blood could be cultivated from scratch. But Poison Gu blood was one of a kind! Even those with the secret formula for creating more Poison Gu would never be able to create a second one of his kind again, because the poison plants needed for the prescription were one of a kind. When he’d tried the formula on himself, he’d already used the last of them.
Back at Medical City, he had heard of Gu Qishao’s past and wondered if he too, had been transformed into a Poison Gu in secret to develop immunity to so many diseases. In the end, he carefully analyzed the information and rejected that idea. He didn’t know what kind of body Gu Qishao possessed, but he wasn’t interested, either. Right now, his main enemies were Long Feiye and Han Yunxi as well as their East and West Qin factions. He was curious to know whether Han Yunxi couldn’t accept the truth or knew some other facts that made her so adamant to deny him.
He didn’t mind taking his time to find out slowly and play a higher-stakes game. Who knew which of them would regret it more by the end!
Bai Yanqing looked up at the cliffs, which were so tall that the tops were shrouded by white mists. He wiped away the blood from his lips and turned to leave. Soon enough, his skinny form had vanished into the woods. Meanwhile, Lil Thing recovered from its daze.
Heavens! Just then it’d sense Mama Yunxi nearby! Very close!
Had the Darkspace’s master gone to find Mama Yunxi? What did this villain want to do? Did Mama Yunxi know it was trapped inside? What was going on now? It’d lost sense of Mama Yunxi again. Lil Thing grew agitated and dashed forward in the darkness, but was soon repelled by a formless energy. Thanks to the terms of its contract, it could sense everything outside from Mama Yunxi’s poison storage space and enter and exit at will. But this Darkspace made it ignorant to anything happening outside. It could only sense Mama Yunxi if she was close enough.
Had Mama Yunxi left?
Lil Thing grew uneasy. As it fell into thought, it recalled the gentleman once more. It abruptly raised its head to give a mournful cry that echoed in the large, black space.
Gentleman, don’t die, alright?
Mama Yunxi, where are you?
Lil Thing misses you both…
Currently, Han Yunxi and Long Feiye were still on top of the cliff. Long Feiye had given her enough time to recover, so she didn’t delay. Of course she remembered Lil Thing. She and Gu Beiyue suspected that it was still trapped in Bai Yanqing’s poison storage space, but she didn’t know whether the space would vanish once its owner died. She could only put more important matters first and find Lil Thing later. Killing Bai Yanqing was only a method to their final goals! That was why she’d steeled her resolve in the first place. No matter how uneasy she felt, she had to hide and endure those feelings!
There was no point in wasting their previous efforts now. Only by striding forward could she know that her choice hadn’t let anyone down or failed them. She wanted to be together with Long Feiye fair and square and dissolve the hatred between East and West Qin. She wanted to join hands with him and create a new nation filled with eternal peace!
Han Yunxi stood up and said coldly, “Shi Jiuxia, tell me how this princess should silence your mouth!”
Shi Jiuxia had killed his way through the poison guards and mercenaries to their location. He had heard everything Bai Yanqing just said, including the fact that Han Yunxi was Bai Yanqing’s daughter. He was stunned by the revelations!
