Although Wen Ni had rushed out of the Xuan Prince's mansion, she could not break free from the guard circle of the Shadow Guards.
She had underestimated the尊主's power, and at the same time, overestimated the Xuan Prince's loyalty to Bei Ming.
Otherwise, with such a commotion in the Xuan Prince's mansion, this尊主, who was clearly detrimental to the Bei Ming royal family, had already become half the master of the Xuan Prince's mansion.
Xuan Prince, why did you not stop it even a little bit?
What exactly is Feng Ye Xuan doing now?
The尊主 secretly ordered someone to poison the逍遥 Prince, and he did not stop it?
How much of that brotherhood from that day remains?
After being forced back into the battle by the Shadow Guards once again, Wen Ni soon heard a young girl's voice ring out in mid-air.
"I heard that Murong Yu back then was also a master of poison?"
The girl chuckled, sounding somewhat disdainful: "Having been by her side for so many years, have you also learned many ways of poisoning? Ordinary poisons no longer have any effect on you, do they?"
The girl's voice suddenly intensified: "Do you want to try and see if you can withstand my poison?"
Wen Ni felt a heat rush to her eyes.
It was as if the entire world had suddenly become fiery.
The dim night turned a scarlet hue.
Her heart sank, and she immediately retreated quickly.
But the Shadow Guards behind her simultaneously drew their swords, forcing her back.
Once forced back, there was no more retreat.
Wen Ni felt that everything around her had completely changed.
She could no longer see her surroundings clearly, only feeling as if she were immersed in a sea of fire. Soon, the flames reached her feet and instantly engulfed her entire body.
"Ah..." Wen Ni screamed, almost collapsing into the sea of fire.
Suddenly, a long whip lashed out, coiling around Wen Ni's arm.
The person yanked hard, pulling her out of the sea of fire.
"Mmm..." Wen Ni gritted her teeth tightly. The flames in her sight finally disappeared, but she had been poisoned.
"It's you?" Wen Ni could hardly believe her eyes. Why... was it her?
Suddenly, she understood, and her heart became complex and sorrowful.
"You thought... the one secretly poisoning the Prince was me?"
"I'm sorry." Long Xinghe now understood. It turned out that her two visits to this尊主 were merely to get close to him and find an opportunity to assassinate him.
She had come with a resolve to die, all to eliminate this尊主 who wanted to harm Wuya.
And Long Xinghe had been suspicious of her since she saw her sneaking around to find the尊主 last time.
Wen Ni's heart felt a pang of sorrow, yet also a sense of relief.
"With you by the Prince's side, I... am very relieved. From now on, the Prince... I'll leave him to you."
A surge of blood rushed to her head, and Wen Ni opened her mouth, immediately spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
"You've been poisoned!" Long Xinghe held her with one hand, while in the other, she held an unknown weapon.
The Whirlwind Spear!
This was made by her for Chu Qianli, but Chu Qianli found her martial arts insufficient and kept it for herself as a self-defense weapon.
However, the number of Shadow Guards around was increasing.
This Whirlwind Spear was effective against one opponent, but against so many guards, she might not be able to handle them.
Wen Ni spat out another mouthful of black blood and gently pushed Long Xinghe's arm: "The woman... on the tree, she is... a master of poison, don't... let her get close."
As she spoke, she spat out two more mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Her voice gradually became hoarse: "I... am not going to live. Later... I will cover for you, you... quickly go back and tell... Master Yu, their尊主... the尊主 is..."
