Chapter 815: Han Yunxi's powerful rationality
Wind Clan! The Northern Li calvary!
Those two names startled Han Yunxi from her thoughts and nearly made her leap out of her chair. She was so shocked, she couldn’t hide her expression of alarm. Ning Cheng and Ning Jing mistakenly assumed that she had been frightened by the news after realizing their serious manpower against Long Feiye.
But in truth, Han Yunxi was both shocked and happy. In fact, she wanted to laugh out loud at the skies.
The Wind Clan!!
Who knew that the Wind Clan would show up at a time like this and ally themselves with Ning Cheng! It really was gaining everything without going to the effort to hunt! The Wind Clan were familiar with astronomy and geomancy as well as the Qimen Dunjia arts. Moreover, they had the power to move the wind. Long Feiye had once told her this. The first time she ran into their Driving Wind Arts was at Fishery Island. Back then, Long Feiye had ordered in his rage for the Baili Navy to surround the island and trap Jun Yixie there until he died. However, a sudden poison fog had attacked them instead, sending the naval forces into chaos as someone rescued their prisoner. She and Long Feiye had been too late when they reached the scene.
Fishery Island was often buffeted by winds so it was rare for fog to settle, much less overnight. It was impossible for any ordinary person to hope to poison the fog. That was why they’d trapped Jun Yixie there despite knowing of his poison skills. She couldn’t figure out what had happened then until Long Feiye mentioned the Driving Wind Arts. Then she began to suspect that Jun Yixie’s savior was a Wind Clan member. Furthermore, there was another critical clue. To release poison into such a wide area of fog was a challenge even for herself. Thus, she and Long Feiye inferred that the man must have superior poison skills to her and Jun Yixie. To put things in perspective, the only possible culprit was the ex-leader of the Hundred Poisons Sect, Jun Yixie’s master.
Before this event, Jun Yixie had been targeted by Medical City because he implanted poison gu into Long Tianmo. Medical City began to investigate the Hundred Poisons Sect but found no clues. Meanwhile, Long Feiye and Old Wang had tried to plant secret agents into the sect too, but found nothing. Han Yunxi still didn’t know what kind of person originally poisoned Long Tianmo with poison gu[1] to make his stomach swell up, but Gu Qishao had recognized the symptoms at once and told Luo Zuishan to make a fuss. When she asked Gu Qishao about it, he said that he had learned the art of poison gu from Gu Yuntian’s secret poison manuals archives. In other words, this technique belonged to the Poison Sect! If one couldn’t learn it from Gu Yuntian’s poison manuals, then it was probably passed down between generations of descendants with the Poison Sect bloodline.
Where did Jun Yixie learn his skills?[2] It was very possible that his master taught him! In other words, his master was on close terms with the Poison Sect’s descendants. To sum things up, Jun Yixie’s master might very well be related to the Wind Clan and the Poison Sect bloodline.
Moreover, Han Yunxi had fought against poisons in the maze pathway during Grand Concubine Yi’s kidnapping incident. The mysterious poisons masters who opposed her was extremely skilled and seemed to cure all of her toxins instantaneously. Even her newly created poisons were useless against them. Han Yunxi couldn’t figure it out at first, but later on she understood. Her poisons weren’t actually cured--but absorbed! The second level of the poison storage space allowed absorption of all poisons harmful to one’s self into one’s dimension. One could then use the poisons for oneself. Anyone who had a poison storage system had to be a blood relation to the Poison Sect! No matter what the relationship between this mysterious poisons masters or the City of Daughter’s Lady Lengyue might be, one thing was certain: they had been targeting Grand Concubine Yi.
