C109 Skeleton
Yun Yixuan’s heart suddenly stopped beating. He picked up Feng Yu and ran towards the front yard with big steps. “Third Sister, hang in there. Brother won’t let anything happen to you…”
He ran fast and soon arrived at Yun Hong’s yard. Along the way, he bumped into countless servants, but he didn’t realize it. At the door, Yun Hong came out to send Long Zixuan off. From afar, he saw Yun Yixuan running over in panic with Feng Yu in his arms. A bad premonition immediately rose in his heart, and his face sank.
Long Zixuan stopped and narrowed his charming eyes. His eyes fell on Yun Yixuan who was gradually approaching, and his peerlessly beautiful face was dark and calm.
“Grandfather, Third Sister… is poisoned…”
Yun Yixuan staggered and knelt on one knee on the ground. His face was pale, and his voice was filled with sorrow and gasping for breath as he said these few words. Yun Hong’s expression changed drastically, and his legs went soft. His body fell backwards.
“Grandfather…”
“Grandfather Yun…”
Two voices sounded at the same time. Long Zixuan quickly pulled him back to prevent him from falling on the ground. Yun Hong’s pained eyes fell on Feng Yu. Her lips had already started to change color, and a layer of purple appeared on her pink lips.
It could be seen that the poison was very strong.
“Girl.” His face was as pale as death, and then he looked at Yun Yixuan who was kneeling on the ground and said with tears and tears, “Yixuan, you are already at the Transformation Void Martial Stage. Can’t you save her?”
“Grandfather, I can try, but I’m not 100% sure.”
Yun Yixuan’s expression was very ugly. The poison was so strong, and he was not 100% sure that he could force it out with his spiritual power. Yun Hong looked at him in anger and said, “Then hurry up. Do you want to watch the poison enter the girl’s organs?”
“Okay, Grandfather.” Yun Yixuan took a deep breath and said, “The Seven-Colored Heavenly Lotus is in your room. Let’s go to your room.”
“Wait…”
At this time, Long Zixuan, who was holding Yun Hong, finally spoke. He looked at the unconscious Feng Yu in Yun Yixuan’s arms, and his eyes were filled with darkness. His demonic voice sounded, and it was filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
“Grandfather Yun, Young Master Yun, the Seven-Colored Heavenly Lotus can only be used together with the Dew of Jade. I think the General’s Estate doesn’t have the Dew of Jade now, right?”
Yun Yixuan frowned. The Dew of Jade was already extinct, and the General’s Estate definitely didn’t have it. If they had the Dew of Jade, he was absolutely sure that he could save Feng Yu.
Yun Hong’s face also flashed with a trace of embarrassment. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at Long Zixuan with hope. “Brat Zixuan, could it be that you have the Dew of Jade?”
With Long Zixuan’s current status and position, he was the only one who could have the Dew of Jade.
Long Zixuan shook his head and said, “Not really.”
As soon as he finished, Yun Hong became disappointed again. It had been about a thousand years since the Jade Dew appeared. How could he still have hope?
However, he heard Long Zixuan’s cold voice again, “But I am confident that I can cure the third young lady and keep her alive. I wonder if Grandpa Yun and Young Master Yun are willing to give the third young lady to me.”
Yun Yixuan and Yun Hong were shocked. Yun Hong looked at him in disbelief and said, “Zixuan, are you serious?”
Long Zixuan nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Yixuan, what are you doing? Quickly give the girl to Zixuan.”
Yun Hong looked at Yun Yixuan who was still kneeling on the ground and his face darkened. Yun Yixuan gritted his teeth and stood up, but his legs were still weak.
He couldn’t understand why his grandpa trusted Long Zixuan so much to give the third young lady to him so easily.
So, he ignored Yun Hong’s words and turned to look at Long Zixuan. He squinted his warm eyes and said, “Sect Master Long, this concerns the third young lady’s life. So, I have to be careful. I can give the third young lady to you, but how can you guarantee that you can cure the third young lady?”
Long Zixuan squinted his eyes and said with a faintly cold voice, “If I can’t save the third young lady, I will give my life to you. What do you think?”
He didn’t like to be questioned by others. If this person wasn’t Yun Yixuan, he wouldn’t have the patience to talk to him.
“This…”
Yun Yixuan was speechless, but he was relieved. It seemed that this Chief Long was confident in saving his third sister, but he couldn’t make up his mind to give the phoenix feather to him.
Yun Hong saw the anger in Long Zixuan’s eyes and saw the hesitation in Yun Yixuan’s eyes. He couldn’t help but scold, “Hey, what’s wrong with you? Do you want your sister to be dragged on like this?”
At this moment, Long Zixuan’s cold voice sounded. It completely destroyed the hesitation in Yun Yixuan’s heart. “Young Master Yun, if you don’t hand the third miss to me, I won’t be able to save her even if I go back to heaven.”
Yun Yixuan’s heart shook a few times. He gritted his teeth and made a decision. He reached out and gave the phoenix feather to Long Zixuan and said, “Chief Long, I offended you just now. Please don’t take offense. I will do my best to save my third sister.”
“Of course.”
Zixuan’s peerless face was cold. He reached out and took the phoenix feather into his arms. His dark eyes fell on her face.
Yun Hong sighed and said, “Brat Zixuan, if you can save my girl, I will be very grateful. I will do anything for you.”
“Grandpa Yun, you are too serious. Zi Xuan will do his best to make sure that the third young lady is still alive and kicking.”
Long Zixuan nodded to Yun Hong. Then, his body flashed and the two of them felt a purple shadow flash past them. The man who was extremely beautiful disappeared from their sight. Only the voice of a demoness could be heard clearly in their ears.
“Young Master Yun, come to my house tomorrow to pick up the third young lady.”
Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan looked at the sky. They didn’t come back to their senses until the voice faded away.
“Old General Yun, Young Master Yun, our master is leaving first. We will take our leave here.”
Chi Xiao and Chi Yan walked in front of Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan. They cupped their hands toward the two of them with respect. Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan turned around and looked at the two young men in red robes.
Yun Hong nodded and said, “Okay, then I will go and see you two.”
“No need.” Chi Xiao waved his hand and said, “Old General Yun, you should stop here. We can leave by ourselves.”
Yun Hong saw that the two young men had firm expressions and could only give up. He said, “That’s fine. Please be careful on the road.”
The two young men nodded and left side by side. Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan watched them leave.
After a long time, Yun Hong looked away from the two young men and turned to look at Yun Yixuan who was deep in thought. He said, “Xuan Er, it seems that Zi Xuan’s cultivation is above yours.”
Yun Yixuan nodded and said in a gentle voice, “It’s not just that. The cultivation of this Lord Long is unfathomable.”
Yun Hong sighed and said, “I just hope that little Zi Xuan can save the girl. Otherwise, I will be ashamed of Tian’Er. I will die to atone for my sins.”
“Don’t worry, Grandfather. Lord Long will definitely be able to save the third sister!”
Yun Yixuan comforted Yun Hong. Yun Hong nodded. He had absolute trust in Long Zixuan. He just didn’t know where this mysterious trust came from. He suddenly thought of something and his face became gloomy.
“What happened to the girl? Why was she poisoned?”
Yun Yixuan frowned and said with a gloomy face, “I went to find the third sister today and saw a few assassins in her yard. I think she was accidentally poisoned by a sharp weapon in the fight with the assassins.”
“Assassins?” Yun Hong was shocked and said, “Where did the assassins come from?”
Yun Yixuan nodded and said, “I don’t know.” He suddenly thought of something and said, “Grandfather, when I went, the third sister killed an assassin. The body should still be in her yard. Why don’t we go and see the body? Maybe we can find some clues.”
“That’s fine.” Yun Hong said, “Let’s go.”
They walked to Feng Yu’s yard and saw the body lying there quietly. It was already dark, but the moonlight was very bright. The two of them were both cultivators, so their vision was not affected.
However, in order to see it more clearly, Yun Yixuan took out a Night-Luminescent Pearl.
Walking into the body, Yun Yixuan squatted down. He uncovered the black cloth on the assassin’s face, and his eyes instantly widened. Even Yun Hong couldn’t help but widen his eyes, and his face turned pale.
Under the black cloth, a skull was revealed. It was a clean skull, and there wasn’t even a trace of flesh. It was as if it had been dead for hundreds of years.
Yun Yixuan frowned. He uncovered the assassin’s clothes again, and he saw the white bones. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Yun Hong and said, “Grandfather, this is too strange.”
Yun Hong had already calmed down. He squinted his muddy eyes, and a coldness flashed through his eyes. He said, “Xuan Er, take a look at this skull and see if you can find anything. After you search it, burn it.”
Yun Yixuan nodded, and he suddenly saw a dagger in the skull’s hand. He frowned and took the dagger from the skull’s hand. Under the light of the Night-Luminescent Pearl, the blade of the dagger emitted a dark green light. One look was enough to tell that it was poisonous.
“Xuan Er, take it out and let me see.”
Seeing the dagger, Yun Hong’s expression suddenly became excited. Yun Yixuan stood up and handed the dagger over in confusion. Yun Hong took it, and his eyes fell on the hilt of the dagger. He took a few deep glances, then bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.
The blood was absorbed in an instant. Then, a faint red light was emitted from the hilt of the blade. A blood pattern slowly rotated in the air.
“It’s him. It’s him…”
Looking at the blood pattern that was rotating, Yun Hong murmured to himself. He had a complicated expression on his face. Yun Yixuan looked at the blood pattern a few times but didn’t see anything unusual. The blood pattern was very strange. He had never seen it before.
“Grandfather, do you know who wants to kill third sister?”
He asked with a frown. Yun Hong turned around and wiped the hilt of the blade. The blood pattern disappeared. Then, he took out a handkerchief and wrapped the dagger.
After putting away the dagger, Yun Hong looked at Yun Yixuan and said, “Xuan Er, this is a big matter. Grandfather can’t tell you for now. But you must remember to always protect your sister by her side. Do you understand?”
Since he couldn’t tell him, Yun Yixuan didn’t continue to ask. He could only nod and said, “Don’t worry, Grandfather. In the future, I will never let third sister get into danger again.”
