Chapter 441: Already fed up with it

Han Yunxi wasn't the only one to wonder about Jun Yixie's skilled rescuer; Long Feiye had his thoughts as well. Beyond the question of Jun Yixie's skills, he wanted to know of Jun Yixie's origins, too. He had made multiple inquiries into the Hundred Poisons Sect, but it was such a mysterious organization that he'd failed to find anything useful. Last time, because Jun Yixie had used the Gu arts on Long Tianmo, Medical City had started looking for trouble with the Hundred Poisons Sect too, but failed to topple its foundations after an entire year.

Hundred Poisons Sect was one of the powerhouses in the shadows that rarely mingled with the secular world, so it remained minimally affected by Medical City's assault. In comparison, it was Jun Yixie himself, as the sect leader, who met with tragedy instead. If they hadn't uncovered Jun Yixie's spies in Tianning last time, it was unlikely anyone would know he was the Hundred Poisons Sect leader now.

"His master is probably the previous leader of the Hundred Poisons Sect. Could that person be part of the Poison Sect as well?" Long Feiye asked doubtfully.

Han Yunxi simply grinned. "Your Highness, that's a rather big pit in your brain."

"What do you mean?" Long Feiye didn't understand.

Han Yunxi's smile grew more dazzling. "I'm saying that you're thinking too much into it."

Long Feiye grew expressionless. "It looks like you're in a great mood?"

He was currently fuming over the fact that Jun Yixie had escaped, but this woman had the mood to smile and joke. Han Yunxi carefully withdrew her smiles and replied, "Your Highness, if it was people from the Poison Sect who rescued Jun Yixie, why would he have expended so much effort to ally with Duanmu Yao when searching the Sky Pit for the poison beast?"

"At the very least, we can't rule out the possibility," Long Feiye remarked.

The Poison Sect was the ancestor to all of Cloud Realm Continent's poison groups. The earliest origins of the Hundred Poisons Sect hailed from branch of the original Poison Sect. It wasn't until later that they turned independent and created their own group.

Han Yunxi agreed with this point, but sighed as she muttered, "If my father was really a descendant of the Poison Sect, that wouldn't be too bad, either." And if her father was still alive, perhaps he could even help Long Feiye with his strength. Han Yunxi's heart was all for supporting and helping her husband.

Long Feiye glanced at her and said, "Lady Tianxin wouldn't have left your father for no reason."

"I just hope he wasn't an unfaithful lover. Otherwise, I'll definitely slaughter him for my mother's sake!"

"Patricide?" In Long Feiye's eyes, this woman wasn't actually so cruel!

Han Yunxi grew embarrassed, "I'm only saying if, if it comes to that..." She wasn't even the real young Miss of the Han Clan, so how would that even count as patricide? Fortunately, Long Feiye didn't pursue the matter.

By now, they had already verified that Lady Tianxin was Medicine City's Mu Clan's Mu Xin. But the rumors of her tryst with a Poison Clan member were still unconfirmed. Han Yunxi was privately thinking that they'd need to visit the Mu Clan personally if they couldn't find any answers soon. The two of them walked out of the ship's hold, where Long Feiye turned his gaze to the seas.

Somewhat lost, he asked, "How would one spread poison over such a large expanse of land and sea?"

"The poisoner must be intimately familiar with the weather, especially the direction of the winds. They'd have to have a handle on both air currents and condensation, and combine knowledge of both to control the toxicity of poison left in the air." Han Yunxi's lips drew into a mocking curve at her words. "I can't provide any concrete details, but I know it'd be impossible for me."
