Chapter 112

~7 min read 1,217 words

What a terrifying thing this is!

His heart was shocked.

The summoning of wind and rain that was rumored to be miraculous could be understood as a coincidence, and the summoning of gods and ghosts could be said to be a trick, which could also be done with illusions, but this flying sword technique was real.

Especially after seeing this flying sword technique, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the former two.

Perhaps, summoning wind and rain and summoning gods and ghosts were also true?

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the death row prison and stepped into it.

There were many passages in the death row prison, but according to Yan Lingji, most of the passages were actually dead ends, used to confuse others. There was only one road that truly led to the core area.

Walking all the way, not long after, they saw the first blocker.

A "true" blocker—the so-called blocking was that he was lying horizontally on the ground, his huge body blocking the not-so-wide corridor tightly.

Seeing this person, Yan Lingji's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly stepped forward.

Because he was Wushuang Gui.

Wushuang Gui lying here, dead or alive, made Yan Lingji very worried. She carefully tested Wushuang Gui's breath. Fortunately, Wushuang Gui had extraordinary talent. As long as it wasn't like the original work where Ge Nie attacked his heart, he was more resistant than ordinary people.

Although he was severely injured and unconscious, he was still alive.

This made Yan Lingji breathe a sigh of relief.

Continuing forward, they saw the Corpse-Driving Demon pierced by ice pillars and the Hundred-Poison King frozen with only his head left outside.

They looked very bad, but they still had a breath left.

This was of course not because Bai Yifei was negligent, but because he did it on purpose.

Although he went back on his word this time and directly attacked Master Tian Ze's stronghold, his purpose was only to keep Master Tian Ze, this variable, under his control, but he didn't intend to kill Master Tian Ze immediately.

The one who would truly punish them would be the current Crown Prince, the future new King of Han Guo!

They were all tools for the Crown Prince to establish his authority.

The end of the death row prison.

Master Tian Ze was easily defeated by Bai Yifei and lay on the ground with humiliation on his face.

If he were in his prime, he would have had the power to fight Bai Yifei.

But before this, in the battle with Su Xuan, his hands were crippled. Even with the snake bone chain on his body, he barely fought Bai Yifei, but Bai Yifei's strength improvement speed compared to the battle of Baiyue ten years ago was truly terrifying.

In just a few moves, he was easily defeated.

"Hmph, compared to ten years ago, your strength is much weaker!" Bai Yifei looked at Master Tian Ze with some disdain.

"Isn't this all thanks to you?" Master Tian Ze's voice was low.

In his ten-year prisoner career, Bai Yifei used him as a tool for experimenting with Gu insects, making his gifted body riddled with holes. Even if he came out, how easy would it be to recover to his prime?

Bai Yifei didn't commit.

Then he drew the long sword hanging from his waist. As the sword edge passed, the door of the cell was slashed open.

In the cell, a woman wearing pink clothes was squatting weakly, looking depressed.

Hearing this sound, she looked up immediately. The somewhat dark light shone in from the door. Dimly, she could see someone standing at the door. She identified it carefully and finally recognized the visitor.

"It's you, Blood-Clad Marquis?"

As the most favored little princess of the King of Han, Honglian had seen the Blood-Clad Marquis.

However, she couldn't like the Blood-Clad Marquis. Admittedly, the Blood-Clad Marquis's face was handsome and was the dream lover of many girls in Xinzheng City, but this definitely did not include her.

The main reason was that the Blood-Clad Marquis was constantly emitting a coldness, especially that red dress that never changed all year round, which looked like blood. Although she knew the other party had the title of "Blood-Clad Marquis," Honglian still chose to keep her distance.

She also liked red clothes, but the red she liked was not the red similar to blood like the Blood-Clad Marquis.

Honglian didn't expect to see the Blood-Clad Marquis here. She stood up slowly, walked toward the door, and asked softly: "Blood-Clad Marquis, did Father send you to rescue me?"

Bai Yifei said lightly: "As long as the Princess is safe, that's fine. Being able to see the Princess safe, the King probably won't have any regrets even if he dies."

Honglian's brows lifted immediately, somewhat unhappy.

Father is fine, how can he talk about "death"? The Blood-Clad Marquis, as a minister under Father, actually dared to say such things in private. After going back, she would definitely have to talk about the Blood-Clad Marquis in front of Father.

Bai Yifei said: "I must inform the Princess that after the Princess was kidnapped last night, the King's mood has been in a state of grief and indignation. Finally, this morning, he suddenly fell ill, and at the moment, his time is running out!"

"What? How could this happen?!"

Honglian's face changed drastically, and she became a bit flustered. She hurriedly said to Bai Yifei, "I know Father's body; how could he suddenly fall ill?"

"We also think so. Later, under the examination of the Imperial Physician, we found that the reason the King is like this is because he took elixirs refined by someone. That person is Master Tian Ze's subordinate and has long been in collusion with Master Tian Ze!"

"Last night, Master Tian Ze kidnapped the Princess in name, but his true purpose was to contact that person and let him harm the King!"

"Who? Who exactly is it?" Honglian was extremely angry.

Bai Yifei said a name that shocked Honglian: "Su Xuan!"

"It's him?"

Honglian couldn't help but be stunned, and thinking of the days she spent with Su Xuan, as well as Su Xuan's appearance before her, she couldn't help but hesitate, "How is it possible? It can't be him!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Yifei's eyes. He didn't expect Princess Honglian to trust Su Xuan so much.

But thinking that Su Xuan had been staying in the palace and Princess Honglian had dealings with him, it was barely understandable.

Bai Yifei continued: "Although it is hard to believe, the fact is just like this. After the Princess and I return to the palace, you will know."

Honglian originally wanted to continue to defend Su Xuan, but hearing Bai Yifei's words, she finally closed her mouth.

Yes, as long as they return to the palace, all the truth will come to light.

"Then let's go!"

Honglian said again.

Bai Yifei was about to respond to her, when at this moment, Bai Yifei seemed to have sensed something and turned around abruptly.

Several figures walked over slowly.

The leader, holding a hideous great sword, looked at Bai Yifei as if he were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
