Since their enemy was sending them poisons from the pathway, it was clear that Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao had already escaped. The poison mists were only a way to keep them in check. If this was just some simple poison, Han Yunxi would have the confidence to face it with her detox system and poison storage space. But she still had to deal with the matrix pathways changing formation on top of that while detoxifying the poisons, finding them a guide, and leading them out of the matrix. If there was a middleman interfering in any of her steps, she and Long Feiye could be trapped in the matrix indefinitely.

This was a bigger risk now that they had Grand Concubine Yi to protect as well. Truthfully speaking, the maze pathway was their biggest weak point. Thus, Han Yunxi had to be extra prudent before she made any moves.

“I’ll play along with them first and probe them out,” she said at last. Long Feiye nodded, filled with complete faith in her.

Han Yunxi first dispelled the other side’s poison, then picked a new strain of toxin bred from the poison pond in her storage space that could be scattered into the mists. It was called the Thousand Illusions. Anyone caught in the poison would fall prey to a thousand different terrifying hallucinations and scare themselves to death. Since Thousand Illusions was a new poison, Han Yunxi had only developed its antidote recently. She wanted to see how the other side would deal with this.

The results gave her scare. It took less time needed to brew a cup of tea for their opponent to dispel Thousand Illusions! Naturally, it wasn’t only the creator of a poison that was capable of crafting its antidote, but that took time. Some people could spend a decade without ever cracking a case! But their opponent had done it so swiftly, a testament to their fierce skills!

Han Yunxi couldn’t help but wonder how long she’d take without the help of the detox system. Admittedly, she wouldn’t take long either, but she certainly wouldn’t be this quick! She knew their opponent had better skills than Jun Yixie, but never expected them at this level! What kind of deity were they dealing with now?

Eyes wide, she turned to Long Feiye, who only looked lost. “What is it?”

Instead of replying, Han Yunxi kept trying out more new poisons from the poison pond. But like before, all of them were dispelled within the time it took to brew a cup of tea. She stopped and fell into deep thought. Finally, she took out a poison called Bone Eclipse. It was the very same toxin that Han Yunxi had used on Jun Yixie’s shoulder, and the one he couldn’t cure himself. If their opponent was Jun Yixie’s master, then he would be stuck on Bone Eclipse as well. Otherwise, Jun Yixie’s shoulder should have long recovered by now.

That wasn’t the case when she saw him last at Medicine City.

Fortunately, Bone Eclipse could be dispersed through mist as well. Han Yunxi had only created one dose of antidote for the poison but tossed it away. Now she had to make sure she didn’t poison herself, so she checked that the detox system still had enough ingredients to make another counter. The lucky Han Yunxi created a fresh antidote to match her poison before releasing it into the wild.

Enough time to brew a cup of tea passed....

The poison was still there, but Han Yunxi knew she hadn’t won yet. She waited quietly for the results. Compared to the others, Bone Eclipse was a far more difficult toxin. Long Feiye had no idea what was going on, but her serious expression was enough to keep him from disturbing her. He simply waited quietly on the side.
