Following this, a hidden stone door slowly opened amidst the rumbling, allowing a bright ray of light to shine through the crack, resembling a ray of hope, as it spread into the shadowy Underground Palace.
Shi Feiyang let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze calm as he looked at Lan Xiaodie, his voice steady and forceful, "Lan Xiaodie, the ga is resolved, now you should fulfill your promise." Lan Xiaodie bit her lip, her once bright and captivating eyes now filled with helplessness and reluctance.
Her lips trembled slightly, as if she still wanted to make a final struggle.
But faced with this established fact, she could only slowly stand up, her steps slightly staggering as she walked towards the stone door.
The two of them exited the stone door one after another, leaving behind the eerie and terrifying Underground Palace, returning to the valley.
At this mont, though the sun shone upon her, it could not dispel the gloom in Lan Xiaodie’s heart.
Due to excessive blood loss, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, her body could no longer support her, and with a "thud," she collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Shi Feiyang quickly sheathed his sword, crouching down swiftly, pulling out the precious "Tianshan Snow Lotus Water" from his bosom. This "Tianshan Snow Lotus Water" was a rare healing elixir in the world, emanating a faint fragrance.
Shi Feiyang carefully used it to clean Lan Xiaodie’s wounds, his movents gentle yet decisive, each action revealing his respect for life. He then skillfully reattached Lan Xiaodie’s severed arm.
After treating the wounds, Shi Feiyang again took out the "Lesser Returning Pill," "Great Returning Pill," "Soul Reviving Pill," "Soul Gathering Pill," "Heart-Protecting Pill," and "Heart-warming Pill" from his bosom. These pills were extrely precious, emitting an enticing luster.
He brought the pills to Lan Xiaodie’s mouth, softly saying, "Take them, they will help your injuries."
Lan Xiaodie leaned weakly against the tree trunk, her eyes filled with confusion and anger, she scread, "Shi Feiyang, why do you still want to save ? Just let die! Hmph, don’t think you can dissolve the hatred between us. The vendetta of killing a father is irreconcilable, it won’t end between you and ."
Shi Feiyang smiled slightly, with a hint of tolerance and understanding in his smile, he slowly said, "Whether I can change your heart, let’s talk about it later! However, killing you, it seems unnecessary. Think carefully, you’ve been used by the traitor Zhong Renwang. You sold children for profit to strengthen the Five Poison Sect, but all the money was given to Zhong Renwang. You and the Five Poison Sect were rely pawns in his hands."
As he spoke, Shi Feiyang observed Lan Xiaodie’s reaction, knowing that every word at this mont might influence her future choices. "Now, focus on healing, with your poison skills, you are almost unmatched in the Jianghu, as long as you walk the right path, your future is limitless."
After speaking, Shi Feiyang stood up, washing his hands with the Tianshan Snow Lotus Water, his movents elegant and composed.
Then, he turned around, walking away with determined steps.
Lan Xiaodie watched Shi Feiyang’s back, her heart surging with anger like a tide, she yelled madly, "Shi Feiyang, I will definitely kill you." Shi Feiyang acted as if he didn’t hear, not looking back, his steps unhesitant, striding away quickly, soon disappearing into the valley.
Lan Xiaodie’s eyes followed Shi Feiyang’s disappearing figure, a rush of complex emotions suddenly arose in her heart.
She couldn’t help but murmured, "Could it be that I’ve really been deceived by Zhong Renwang? Am I really fooled by that dog Zhong Renwang? Is it true? Hmph! Zhong Renwang, you dog, give back my money, give back my money!"
Shi Feiyang, several miles away from the valley, felt secretly pleased, couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
He took out a book from a deerskin pouch invisible to the mortal eyes at his waist, it was the "Five Poison Scripture."
This "Five Poison Scripture" was the treasure of the Five Poison Sect, recording various poison arts and cultivation techniques, as well as ways to detoxify and create antidotes. In recalling supporting Lan Xiaodie out of the Underground Palace, relying on his agile skills and impeccable timing, Shi Feiyang pilfered this scripture from Lan Xiaodie without her noticing.
Due to his lightning-fast moves and the magical nature of the deerskin pouch at his waist, invisible to ordinary people, when Shi Feiyang swiftly placed the "Five Poison Scripture" into the pouch, it didn’t draw any attention.
Shi Feiyang knew well that this "Five Poison Scripture" would beco key to controlling Lan Xiaodie in the future.
His gaze deepened, looking into the distance, he already had a long-term plan in mind.
Killing Lan Xiaodie was easy, but subduing the Five Poison Sect was not. Only by taming Lan Xiaodie could the Five Poison Sect be used for his purposes.
He believed that with patient persuasion, one day, Lan Xiaodie and the Five Poison Sect could stand by his side, contributing to the justice of the Jianghu.
Lan Xiaodie cursed Zhong Renwang for a while, her anger subsided slightly.
She endured the severe pain from her severed arm, trembling as she fumbled in her pocket, and when she found the "Five Poison Scripture" was missing, her face imdiately turned pale, her eyes filled with terror, she silently exclaid, "No! Sothing terrible happened! The sect’s treasure is gone, could it be I lost it back in the Underground Palace?"
Her voice trembled with fear, echoing in the empty valley.
Lan Xiaodie bent down, gripping the Green Phosphorus Sword that had fallen to the ground with a trembling hand, using it as a crutch, and limped towards the Underground Palace.
The cold wind felt like knives, cutting across her pale face due to blood loss, her hair wildly whipping in the wind.
After walking so distance, she suddenly stopped, looking at the deep entrance of the Underground Palace, her heart filled with dread.
She rembered that the chess ga in the Palace had been destroyed by Shi Feiyang and could collapse at any mont, entering recklessly could endanger her life.
After much hesitation, she let out a sigh, turning away from the valley, her figure appearing lonely in the cold wind, she headed back to the Bozhou Five Poison Sect Headquarters by herself.
At this ti, Shi Feiyang reached Heng Mountain alone.
In the peak of winter, Heng Mountain was covered in a silver coat.
The continuous mountains were shrouded in thick snow, as if a winding white dragon lay across the earth.
The fierce cold wind howled, making the trees in the mountain forest rustle, the snow on the branches falling with a shiver.
Shi Feiyang proceeded along the winding mountain path, the snow underfoot crunching.
Shi Feiyang arrived at the Hengshan Sect’s residence, where he t Nun Chixia.
Nun Chixia donned a grey robe, her deanor kind, looking at Shi Feiyang with a peaceful gaze.
Shi Feiyang greeted respectfully, saying, "Master Nun, this junior, Shi Feiyang, cos to pay respects today."
Nun Chixia nodded slightly, smiling, "Feiyang, it’s been a long ti, is everything well?"
Shi Feiyang replied, "Thank you, Master Nun, for your concern, I’m well. However, this ti I co with sothing to report to you."
Nun Chixia’s gaze was full of care, asking, "What is it? Speak freely."
Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, saying, "Master Nun, to be honest, Yili and I are already married. At that ti, due to a need to save soone, we rushed to Four Sisters Mountain urgently, not having had the chance to report to you, please forgive ."
Upon hearing this, Nun Chixia not only did not bla him, but her eyes were full of relief, smiling, "This is good news indeed, Yili marrying you fills my heart with joy, there’s no talk of bla. You both are people of love and righteousness, from now on, you must support each other and live a good life together."
