The night completely enveloped this place, and the cold wind howled outside the temple. This temple that towered above the rest had experienced countless storms. In the distance, bright clouds began to appear. What kind of weather will there be tomorrow? Just like the road ahead, Ye Mo and Dong Fang Rui didn't know.
"He shouldn't have come alone if he could find you." Ye Mo Han looked around the temple, but didn't find anything unusual. However, he still couldn't feel at ease. He wanted Dong Fang Rui and him to leave this place as soon as possible.
Xiao Fei didn't bring anyone else here. He probably wants to kill me with his own hands!" Eastern Rui smiled bitterly. "Even though the chief protector has taken control of the Thousand Poison Sect, he won't feel at ease if he can't see my corpse. Thus, regardless of whether he lives or dies, he will always send people to bring me back to the Thousand Poison Sect.
Dongfang Rui smiled at Ye Mo Han. This was the first time she smiled at him. "You can leave. I don't want to implicate you."
Dongfang Rui was clear on the Thousand Poisons Sect's methods to deal with humans. Even if she had just met Ye Mo by chance, she felt that she shouldn't involve him in this. However, how could Ye Wen leave with just a few words? He was destined to be here forever, so he might as well face this situation head on.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Dong Fang Rui looked at the motionless Ye Wen with a puzzled expression.
"I promised you that I would kill Lu Zibai. Since I promised her, I must do it." Ye Jianhan could only come up with such an excuse.
"You can't even protect your own life, how can you say you want to kill someone else?" It was as if Eastern Rui had heard a joke and couldn't help but laugh. You don't have to worry about me. It's not that easy for the head protector's subordinate to kill me.
"Are you worried about me?" Ye Mo Han was obviously very happy as he stared at Dong Fang Rui. Ye Mo Han himself was also curious. After hearing Dong Fang Rui's words, how could he have the guts to look at her like that? Just yesterday, when Ye Mo Han looked at Dongfang Rui, he still felt that she was cold and sacred. Today, especially after the morning when the two of them rode the same horse to the Lu family, Ye Mo Han's feelings towards Dong Fang Rui had subtly changed.
After saying those words, Dongfang Rui felt that she had slipped in her words, and upon seeing Ye Mo Han ask so bluntly and staring at her, she raised her delicate eyebrows and scolded him angrily: "If you dare think too much, do you believe that I won't kill you right now?"
Ye Mo Han shook his head and silently walked out of the temple. Had he really left? Dongfang Rui lowered her hand. She was a bit disappointed and a bit regretful at the same time. Was she disappointed that Ye Chanhan had left just like that? Or was she regretting that she shouldn't have kicked him out? Sometimes, two people together was much better than one person. Dongfang Rui quietly walked to the door of the temple, and Ye Wen's cold and lonely figure gradually disappeared into the distance. As expected, he still left.
The time had passed. The sound of the wind was getting louder and louder. It was as if thousands of blades were being swung at the same time.
Dongfang Rui was sitting beside Xiao Fei's corpse, waiting for the Great Protector of the Thousand Poisons Sect to kill her. After sitting here for a long time, Dong Fang Rui seemed to have returned to her childhood. Beside her sat Xiao Fei and the serpents, the three of them being lectured by their father about reading out the poison. Everyone's childhood memories were unrepeatable. As time went by, they would never return. Even so, everyone had a pure and beautiful memory of their own childhood in their hearts, because when they recalled their childhood, most of the time they would remember beautiful and happy things.
Was it because reality was too cruel that many people had to reminisce about the past?
From the voices, Dongfang Rui couldn't tell how many people there were, but according to the Thousand Poisons Sect's habit, they would not send out more than twenty people at a time. This was to avoid arousing suspicion from the other sects in the martial arts world. Before long, the people had surrounded the entrance of the temple. The seven people wore strange clothing and the leader's face was red. It was unknown whether it was because he had intentionally painted something or because he was born this way.
"Is the Sect Leader waiting for us?" The crimson-faced man glanced at the dried up bones beside Dongfang Rui. This person's voice was sharp, making one's hair stand on end in the cold night wind. Listening to him speak was like listening to a ghost.
"The Chief Protector only sent seven of you?" "Dongfang Rui's aura is full, and she seems to look down on these seven people." It's windy outside, why aren't you coming in? "
When the crimson-faced man saw Dongfang Rui's reaction, he was already a bit fearful. "Sect Leader, the Chief Protector only sent the seven of us to take you back. Please don't make things difficult for us. The seven of us are only following orders."
"Follow orders." "Dong Fang Rui laughed coldly." Ever since the Thousand Poisons Sect was founded, the previous Sect Leaders were all members of the Dongfang family. After my uncle was murdered by the leaders of the Shaolin Faction and Shaolin Faction, the Sect Leader's power was slowly stolen by a few Protectors. You know this best. I will let you live today and tell your master that even if our Dongfang family has no men, we will not let the Thousand Poisons Sect fall into his hands. "
One of the seven men with no hair said, "Sect Leader, you are insisting on making things difficult for us. The Chief Protector has already sent more than twenty people out, and among them, there are more than twenty experts in the Sect. The Chief Protector has given the order to bring you back, and the Chief Protector has also said that if you resist, we can only rely on your good fortune."
"Then that means Bai Qingqing is thinking too much. He's really brave, not only did he not use his power, he even tried to kill me." Dongfang Rui stared at the person who spoke, then pointed at him. Come here, I want to see if you have the ability to kill me. "
That person's face twitched, not daring to say another word. The others also did not dare to make a sound, and Dongfang Rui's poison techniques were used in secret. In the Thousand Poisons Sect, she was ranked number two, but no one dared to claim that she was number one. The seven of them saw Dongfang Rui let them into the temple, and they were even more bewildered. They were afraid that if they entered the temple, they would die an unknown death, so they only stood at the door. Not a single one of them dared to take even half a step inside. Knowing that this stalemate was not an option, he said, "Sect Leader, the seven of us will not go in. Why don't you give us something to take back? Otherwise, we are truly afraid that the Great Protector will blame us."
"Then I'll give you something." Dongfang Rui's figure flickered, and she was already at the door of the temple. She waved her delicate hand, and after a few miserable cries, the three of them fell to the ground. The three people's faces were ashen, and their fatal wounds were at their throats. All three of them had a finger mark on their throat, the part above the finger mark was dark green. Just as Dongfang Rui moved, the seven of them sensed something was wrong and quickly dodged. However, there were still three people who couldn't dodge in time and died after being touched by Dongfang Rui's throat. It turned out that Dongfang Rui's fingers were covered with an extremely strong poison. After touching the throat of the victim, she used her inner force to seep the poison into their skin. This poison would quickly spread to their brains, instantly killing them.
Although the Thousand Poisons Sect was famous for the word 'poison', and the members of the sect could all use poison, most of the people still focused on training. Using poison requires painstaking training. To be able to use poison at the pinnacle of perfection, one also needs to be extremely familiar with the flower to be able to concoct the poison and the antidote. In the process of using poison, one would need to reach the pinnacle of being able to use poison unbeknownst to anyone. The Thousand Poisons Sect was extremely proficient in the use of poisons. In the past generations, only the Sect Leader and a few protectors were capable of using poison. Ordinary disciples of the Thousand Poisons Sect would have to depend on their diligent practice of martial arts. Of course, poison and martial arts could complement each other. A person who was adept at using poison, if his martial arts were mediocre, would also bring him quite a few limitations. For example, just now, Dongfang Rui had used her inner force to catalyze the poison into the skin of the enemy. If Dongfang Rui's inner force was calm, she wouldn't have been able to kill three people in one go.
