Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

But faced with the temptation of this pure and sweet blood, Bai Yifei chose to bring it back to Snowclothes Castle.

He needs to savor this blood offering slowly.

However, just as he was about to savor the fragrance of the girl's blood, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived at Snowcloth Castle.

"waste!"

Upon hearing Jade Tiger's plea for help after being attacked, Bai Yifei's eyes flashed with icy coldness, and he cursed inwardly.

He was convinced that Jade Tiger was hiding something from him! Otherwise, why would Tianze repeatedly target a merchant?

Is it because of his fat body?

Tianze's goal is definitely not a single sword; Bai Yifei believes he understands the other party's character well.

The abnormal fluctuations in his blood and qi urgently needed to be calmed by fresh blood, but now that Tianze had reappeared, he would never let this opportunity pass.

So, Bai Yifei suppressed his desire, imprisoned the girl, and then, with the Jade Tiger subordinate who had come to report the incident, leaped onto his horse and charged toward the scene of the crime.

As we rode our horses halfway through the journey, before even entering the city, the horrific scene along the roadside came into view.

Scattered zombies, the mangled remains of guards, the wreckage of overturned and broken carriages...

Everything, everything, points to that name.

"Tianze!" Bai Yifei reined in his horse and stopped, his icy voice piercing the forest, "Where is Emerald Tiger?"

"Want to know where he is?" a chilling voice replied. "Why don't you just go down and ask him yourself?"

Before the words were finished—

Hiss!

A terrifying, piercing shriek that tore through the air exploded!

A jet-black, dragon-shaped sword aura, carrying destructive power, burst forth from the forest.

Wherever it went, grass and trees were shattered, and corpses flew everywhere!

It runs straight through the white, but it is not the chest.

……

"Is this Snowcloak Castle?"

"I wonder what it would look like if this place were burned down."

On the hilltop, Yan Lingji, her red robes fluttering, gazed at the menacing ancient castle that resembled a bat, and murmured softly.

Beside her stood an old man, the King of Poisons.

Sometimes, you don't necessarily have to do things one by one.

We can definitely do both things together.

When Jade Tiger was in danger, Blood-Clad Marquis, one of the Four Fiends of the Night, could not possibly remain indifferent.

And as long as he takes any action.

Once you leave Snowcloth Fortress, this place is now empty.

Through their investigation, the Baiyue assassins discovered that although Bai Yifei brought three thousand White Armor soldiers with him on his return journey, these soldiers were not stationed at Xueyi Fort, but rather on another mountain nearby.

This is because Snow Robe Fortress is Bai Yifei's private forbidden area, and he strictly forbids any outsiders from disturbing it.

"However, the most important thing right now is to find the Gu Mother!"

Her gaze hardened, and she thought of the figure wearing the bronze mask again, hoping that what the other person said was true.

Chapter 90 Another Fire

"These Baiyue people are indeed experts in murder and arson!"

Another massive fire shot into the sky.

But this time the fire didn't start in the city.

Instead, it was located on a solitary, steep mountaintop outside the city.

Flames rolled and black smoke billowed, turning half the sky into a murky ink.

When the peasant disciples of the Hidden Dragon Hall hurriedly reported the scene, Situ Wanli and Xu Qing had already rushed to the nearby high ground and witnessed this hellish scene.

"That seems to be..." Situ Wanli squinted and looked into the distance, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

Xu Qing's voice was as cold as a knife as he revealed where that place was.

"Snow-Clad Castle".

"Bai Yifei's lair!"

Situ Wan's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed Xu Qing's arm: "Brother, we must leave Korea immediately! These Baiyue lunatics have gone too far! If we get involved with them, you and I will both die without a burial place!"

The initial plan was simply to use someone else to do the dirty work, letting the Baiyue assassins eliminate Emerald Tiger.

Although Jade Tiger is also known as the Nightfall General, in the end, he is just a businessman. Any slightly outstanding businessman could expand his business by relying on Ji Wuye's power.

Therefore, once Jade Tiger dies, he is gone; Ji Wuye can always find a replacement.

But Bai is not the same.

This man is the second most powerful figure in the South Korean army, commanding 100,000 White-Armored Soldiers, and is also the leader of the Four Fiends of the Night, known as the "Blood-Clad Marquis." If he were to detect even a hint of conspiracy...

Situ Wanli felt a chill run down his spine, as if he could already see the scene of having nowhere to go in the entire country of South Korea.

"Brother, you're truly a man of great loyalty and righteousness," Xu Qing said with a half-smile.

Situ Wanli stamped his foot in exasperation: "What kind of time is this to be so sarcastic! I, Situ Wanli, have always..."

"Loyalty?" Xu Qing interrupted him, her smile deepening. "Don't worry, I value my life more than you do."

Then, his tone changed again.

"I gonna go see!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already darted away like a ghost, quickly disappearing from the area.

“Brother Xu, you…” Situ Wanli’s outstretched hand grasped at empty air, and he could only watch helplessly as the figure disappeared before his eyes.

He slumped down, his back soaked with cold sweat.

If I had known that acting on impulse would lead to such a terrible disaster, I should have held back.

"I'm afraid I can't stay in South Korea any longer." He murmured to himself, gazing at the fire dragon devouring the mountain peak in the distance. "If the leader of the knights blames me... I'll just have to accept it."

……

Earlier, Yan Lingji lightly touched the ground with her toes and stepped over the ancient stone steps.

The Poison King's deadly poison had brought down the last few dying old servants in the castle, leaving the gloomy castle as deserted as a ghost town, with only the wind howling through it.

"The Blood-Clad Marquis is truly nostalgic." Yan Lingji picked up a wisp of dust with her fingertip, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Even the watchdog is too old to bite anymore."

Afterwards, they searched diligently within Snowclothes Fortress and eventually found the entrance to the underground space in Bai Yifei's room. Normally, this wouldn't be so easy, but this time it was different because the entrance was open.

It seems that someone got there before them.

"A trap?" the King of Poisons hissed.

“Even if it’s a den of dragons and tigers…” Yan Lingji said softly, “it seems we have no choice but to venture in.”

"But before that..."

She raised her hand, and fire snakes soared into the air, climbing straight up the velvet curtains and instantly setting Bai Yifei's room ablaze. Because of her fear of light, Bai Yifei's Snow Robe Fortress was extremely dark, with curtains and other things used to cover the doors and windows. This gave Yan Lingji the opportunity to set the fire.

She set fire to Emerald Tiger's estate twice.

However, the burning of Emerald Tiger's manor was nothing compared to the burning of Bai Yifei's castle.

Stepping through the entrance, I walked for an unknown amount of time until I reached the end of the stairs, where the cold air was biting.

Inside the enormous natural cave, countless ice pillars stand, each containing a frozen young girl. Their faces are as pale as paper, yet their chests rise and fall eerily, like specimens frozen on the brink of life and death.

"A living Gu vessel..." The Hundred Poison King's withered fingers traced the ice surface, greed seeping into his eyes. "Using a young girl's life to nurture a Gu seed, what a ruthless method!"

Yan Lingji's crimson eyes swept across the pale forest, her cold smile freezing: "It seems that person didn't lie to us, the Gu Mother... must be here."

Suddenly, a flame ignited at the tip of her finger.

A fiery arrow tore through the darkness, shooting straight into the depths of the cave!

"Shoot-"

The sound of sizzling fabric filled the air, and a dark figure tumbled out in a disheveled state.

Yan Lingji closed in, flames swirling in her palms like living things, reflecting the slender silhouette beneath her tight-fitting night clothes.

"Little mouse." She chuckled softly, but her voice was icy. "And whose spy are you?"

……

In the woods.

A battle is underway.

Tianze, wielding two swords, faced off against Bai Yifei, who also wielded two swords.

Not far away, the bronze bell of the Corpse-Driving Demon shook wildly, and rotting corpses surged forward one after another. However, when they approached within ten steps of Bai Yifei, they were frozen into ice sculptures by a sudden burst of cold air. Ice shards pierced through the festering flesh, pinning the walking corpses to the ground.

"The tricks of the Baiyue are outdated from ten years ago!" Bai Yifei turned his sword, unleashing an icy storm towards Tianze. "Where is the Emerald Tiger?"

"I told you, if you want to know where Jade Tiger is, you can go find him yourself," Tianze said coldly to Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

These words undoubtedly indicate that Jade Tiger is dead.

However, compared to the answer given by Tianze, Bai Yifei wanted to verify it himself.

If verified, it means that the beast it personally released has completely broken free of its reins.

Clearly, his backup plan was still inside the other person's body.

Tianze, what makes you so unafraid of death?

Aren't you afraid that the venomous insects inside his body will activate and he will die?
