Chapter 227 Poison Hair
Qingyun Sect, outside the secret realm.
The secret realm has finally opened.
Xie Wanning led the disciples of Qingyun Sect into the secret realm.
The disciples looked on with delight at the scene in the secret realm, where abundant spiritual herbs were everywhere and countless spiritual beasts roamed.
"Wow! There are so many spirit beasts and spirit herbs in this secret realm."
"A bumper harvest, a bumper harvest! We can go home with our bounty on our shoulders this time."
"Qingyun Sect is truly generous, sharing such a resource-rich secret realm. It truly has the demeanor of a great sect."
……
Amid cheers, a disciple timidly asked, "Have you seen our senior sister?"
The previously enthusiastic crowd suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked left and right and realized that the senior sister of Qingyun Sect had disappeared.
"What happened? Where did Senior Sister go?" Song Huai'an looked at Jiang Ci with urgency in his eyes.
"I don't know. Just now outside the secret realm, Senior Sister was clearly still there." Jiang Ci waved his hands repeatedly, but his eyes were filled with deep fear.
Song Huai'an rushed forward and asked in a voice that no one else could hear, "When will your poison take effect?"
"Half an hour later."
"Where's the antidote?"
There's only one available.
"How long can Senior Sister hold on after the poison takes effect?"
"No more than half an hour."
Both of them turned deathly pale. They took out their communication tokens and sent a message to their master.
"Master, Senior Sister is missing. Please help me find her."
"Master, I've poisoned Senior Sister. If we can't find her, she'll die within an hour. Please, Master, you must find Senior Sister."
Song Huai'an took a deep breath, but even his breathing was trembling.
He shouted, "Everyone, don't panic. I've already sent a message to Master, and he will find Senior Sister."
However, panic still lingered in everyone's eyes.
Qiao Qingzi, Zhong Yingxiu, and others, in particular, were sending messages to Xie Wanning using their communication bracelets, but none of them responded.
Si Jinchuan immediately contacted the people of the Shadow Pavilion, but no one knew Xie Wanning's whereabouts, not even Ba Du. He felt a vague unease in his heart.
Xie Wanning, where have you gone?
"Ah! Ahh!"
Xie Wanning sneezed twice in a row. She curled up, forced a smile, and said, "Is someone thinking about me? Achoo! Achoo!"
Xie Wanning was shivering from the cold, but despite wearing all her clothes and activating her protective shield, she still couldn't escape the biting cold, even though she was sneezing.
All around her was a world of ice and snow. The wind and snow, carrying hail, howled, and everything before her was a vast expanse of white, devoid of even a blade of grass, the sun itself appearing white. The entire secret realm was submerged in ice and snow.
"Wait, wait until I get out! I'll definitely find the elder who assigned the secret realm. Did they make a mistake with the teleportation token? Why am I the only one teleported to such a cold secret realm?!" Xie Wanning shouted angrily, her voice trembling from the cold.
Although Xie Wanning has an ice spirit root in her body, which gives her a stronger resistance to cold, it doesn't mean she's resistant to freezing!
She took out her communication bracelet, only to find that there were no messages and she couldn't connect to anyone else.
Xie Wanning shivered from the cold as she shuffled along in the snow, searching for the exit of the secret realm.
"Luo Ze, sword, come!" Xie Wanning summoned the Luo Ze sword, only to see it fall limply to the ground. This domain had a suppressive effect on flying swords.
"Luo Ze, come back!"
Luo Zejian flew back to its sheath, looking aggrieved, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Master."
"It's not your fault," Xie Wanning comforted her. She looked up at the snow-covered sky and muttered, "It's all this wretched secret realm's fault."
Unable to control her sword, Xie Wanning could only move slowly, little by little. She began to feel dizzy and lightheaded, and was starting to feel drowsy.
"You can't sleep, or you won't wake up."
Xie Wanning muttered to herself as she slowly moved her feet.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Wanning vaguely saw a tall mountain peak in the distance. She opened her eyes wide and immediately felt refreshed.
That must be the exit, and once we get to a higher place, the communication bracelet might be able to contact other people.
Xie Wanning smiled and walked towards the mountain peak.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wanning felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, as if it were being ripped open by a blade. She leaned forward and knelt on the ground.
"puff!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the snow red.
Xie Wanning felt an excruciating pain in her abdomen, as if a sharp knife was twisting inside her. Her face instantly turned ashen, large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, turning into ice cubes on the ground. She bit her lip so hard that deep bloodstains appeared on it.
She clutched her abdomen tightly with both hands, her body contorted into a shrimp-like shape, emitting painful groans. The sound seemed to be squeezed from deep within her throat, like the howl of a wounded beast.
"pain!"
My mind went blank, everything in front of me began to blur, and my consciousness gradually faded away.
"Can't sleep..."
Xie Wanning resisted desperately, but was so hurt that she fainted.
Snowflakes filled the sky, slowly covering Xie Wanning's body, like a thick blanket burying her beneath the snow.
Suddenly, a wisp of purple flame shot out, instantly melting the snow on Xie Wanning's body.
A figure picked up Xie Wanning and gave her a Grade 9 antidote pill and a Grade 9 recovery pill.
"Xie Wanning, please don't let anything happen to you!" Xie Wanxun looked at Xie Wanning, whose face was pale, with concern and warmed her body with Netherfire.
"You must wake up! You can't sleep here." Xie Wanxun's voice trembled slightly, not from the cold, but from heartache.
Five wisps of ghost fire swirled around Xie Wanxun, but one of them was slowly weakening.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Wanning opened her eyes.
"Sister? Is that you?" Xie Wanning's weak voice came through, and she looked at Xie Wanxun with surprise.
“It’s me. Back in the secret realm, I had five clones. When we left, my clones transformed into Netherfire and entered your body. Xie Wanning, hold on, I will get you out of here.” Xie Wanxun chuckled and carried Xie Wanning on her back.
Four wisps of ghostly fire surrounded the two of them, completely isolating them from the surrounding wind and frost, and the space within the ghostly fire was incredibly warm.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I've gotten into trouble again." Xie Wanning's weak voice reached Xie Wanxun's ears.
Xie Wanxun frowned and said, "Don't apologize, you did nothing wrong. I just examined your body, and you not only have deadly poison, but also Gu worms and even a curse. The person who poisoned you really wants to kill you."
"Moreover, this poison is mixed with the blood of the person who administered it. Unless the person who administered it personally gives you the antidote, it is impossible to cure."
"No one but Jiang Ci could be so ruthless," Xie Wanxun said through gritted teeth, a fierce killing intent flashing in her eyes.
Xie Wan Ning recalled the floral scent she had smelled outside the secret passage. There was no floral scent before Jiang Ci arrived, so was it the smell of poison? To be able to poison someone simply through the air, Jiang Ci is truly terrifying.
But why would Jiang Ci do this?
Xie Wanning didn't want to think about Jiang Ci's reasons anymore. Jiang Ci was just that kind of person; he could poison his senior sister, with whom he had known each other for over a decade, in his past life, and he would poison her in this life as well. Jiang Ci had never changed, let alone repented.
Xie Wanning lay quietly on Xie Wanxun's back, her breathing very faint.
For some reason, Xie Wanxun felt increasingly heavy, almost crushing her. Moreover, she felt icy cold all over, but the frost outside hadn't penetrated at all.
Xie Wanxun was startled and put Xie Wanning down.
She collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, her eyes filled with deep panic.
"Why is this happening?!"
