Chapter 102 Rescuing Xie Yuan

Xie Yuan and his companions finally got rid of the assassins from Youlian Palace and entered Jizhou City at night. They then disguised themselves and sneaked into the Yushan Pavilion, a young prostitute's house.

Cang Liu said, "Your Highness, the thief probably didn't see your face clearly. I fed the owner of the museum a poison. You have the antidote, so he won't dare to betray you. Please be patient and pretend to be someone in the museum. Cang Shi and I will lead them away. My second brother is an excellent Qinggong, so I have asked him to go back to the capital to get help."

Xie Yuan tried his best to maintain his princely demeanor, feeling angry and sad, "I feel so sorry for the Saint Lady because of the death of several of your brothers..."

"It is our responsibility to protect you. Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself, and don't reveal any flaws." After Cang Liu said this, he put on Xie Yuan's clothes and turned over and walked out with Cang Shi.

The people from Youlian Palace were indeed not giving up. They followed the trail and broke into Jizhou City, searching room by room. They broke into any place where people could hide, and killed those who refused to obey on the spot.

Cang Liu and Cang Shi were lying in ambush, and just when they were about to find the brothel, they stepped on a dead branch on the ground and quickly retreated.

The ghost-faced man listened with sharp ears, "Over there, chase him!"

Cang Liu and Cang Shi were running for their lives, hoping to buy more time for the Second Prince, which would give him a better chance of survival.

However, the ghost-faced man soon caught up with them, and Cang Liu and Cang Shi's necks were broken almost instantly.

The ghost-faced man took a look, his eyes narrow and sharp under the mask. "This man must not be the prince. What bad luck! Keep searching. We must find him before dawn!"

Jizhou was only a few hundred miles away from Shangjing. An hour later, Shen Yi and Jiang Yuyan received a message from Nie Wuyou. Shen Yi led the remaining Youyun Guards, accompanied by Xiao Yuanyan, and rode to Jizhou at full speed...

Inside the Jade Mountain Palace.

A ghost-faced man sat at the main table, with dozens of his men beside him. He looked at the people below with a half-smile, like a civet cat teasing a dying mouse.

"Your Highness, it's really hard for me to find you. I almost got fooled by you. What a pity. How can you, a descendant of a noble family, compare to the demeanor of the young prostitutes in this courtyard?"

Xie Yuan was so ashamed and angry that he said, "If you want my life, just take it. Why make things difficult for Yushan Gong and his gang? Taking human life lightly is unacceptable!"

"Hmm?" The ghost-faced man laughed creepily, "How dare you, a mere ant, obstruct the work of Youlian Palace? Don't you deserve to die?"

"They just didn't know about it. The prostitute took my poison and had to cover it up for me..." Xie Yuan had already made up his mind to die. Having said this, he didn't want to say anything more.

"Kill me if you want!"

"Another one escaped..." The ghost-faced man seemed a little hesitant, "Your Highness, please tell me first who these people are, and I can consider letting you die more quickly..."

Xie Yuan was shocked, and veins popped up on his arms. If they knew, the Saint would be in danger. I have fallen into this situation, how can I harm the people who protect me... Then he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and did not answer.

The ghost-faced man looked at him and then laughed strangely, "If that's the case, why don't you serve His Highness?"

"yes!"

A cold-faced killer stepped forward. Swords flew, and dozens of long cuts were instantly made on Xie Yuan's chest. Blood splattered everywhere, but his internal organs were not injured. His clothes were torn into pieces, and he looked miserable. Xie Yuan groaned and tried to endure it.

"Your Highness, this is just an appetizer of mine. I named it Falling Flowers and Flowing Water. It's just a joke between my subordinates and Your Highness. I don't think Your Highness would want to know what's behind it..." said the ghost-faced man dimly.

Xie Yuan lived a life of luxury, and now cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He suddenly thought of his missing aunt, who was slashed dozens of times on the face, and it must have been painful. Xie Yi, Xie Siqi... Infinite hatred surged in his heart, and his hands clenched tightly.

After a moment of stunned silence, another assassin from Youlian Palace came forward and placed three wine cups in a row.

"Your Highness, please choose one. Here, there is a cup of poison from the herb Gelsemium elegans, one cup of poison from the crescent moon, and one cup that is more tolerable, it is the poison from the acacia powder. Your Highness, would you like to try it?" said the ghost-faced man coldly.

"What if I don't choose?" Xie Yuan said coldly.

"Then I will have to let His Highness try the Hehuan Powder first. When His Highness is at his happiest, I will give him the Hedinghong and Gelsemium elegans. I believe His Highness will be able to die very quickly."

"Hahaha..." Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

Xie Yuan couldn't bear the humiliation, so he picked up a cup and drank it all. If he could die now, it would be a relief.

The ghost-faced man said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is really lucky to have chosen the Heartbreak Grass. I wanted to see what this nobleman would look like when he was so distracted by lust that he sought pleasure like a beast. How boring."

Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he felt an excruciating pain in his abdomen. He couldn't help but arch his body and roll on the ground.

"Your Highness, why don't you tell me? This Heartbreak Grass will cause you pain for at least three hours before you can feel relief. I don't have the patience to wait for you. Tell me as soon as possible, and I'll give you a quick death!"

"Ah! Ah! You killed me!" Xie Yuan's eyes were red with pain and he threw his head to the ground, but was picked up by the killers again.

After the long screams, the ghost-faced man seemed to lose his patience and waved his hand, "Send him on his way."

The killer leaned forward, and Xie Yuan closed his eyes, thinking that he was truly free this time.

Unexpectedly, the expected pain did not come. With a "whoosh" sound, a hidden weapon hit the killer's sword with a sharp force.

Two tall figures jumped in, followed by six guards, who without saying a word rushed towards everyone in the hall.

Chen Yi shook off the besiegers, picked up Xie Yuan and retreated to the periphery, "Your Highness, wake up!"

"It's the heartbreak grass..." Xie Yuan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw at this moment.

Shen Yi pinched his pulse and was also shocked. He quickly took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth.

The Youyun Guards have always been close to each other, but now that several of their brothers have died, they are furious and are fighting with gnashing teeth and reckless abandon.

Xiao Yuanyan was calm and composed, and he dealt with the several sect leaders of Youlian Palace with ease. He quickly killed them one by one with his sword.

The ghost-faced man looked at the few people left in the palace, and could not tell his expression, but only laughed sharply in his throat. In a flash, he attacked Xiao Yuanyan's back.

"Be careful!" Shen Yi dodged to the side and used a strong palm force to dissolve the attack. Then he exchanged several moves with the ghost-faced man, and the true energy shook the house into a mess. The two of them hit the roof together.

"I didn't expect that the dignified Lord of Youlian Palace would also inquire about the affairs of the court!" Shen Yi stood aside.

"You take money from others to help them get rid of their misfortunes!" The man with the ghost face sneered. He felt jealous when he saw this handsome man with extraordinary bearing. He was born ugly and abandoned by his parents since he was a child, and he hated beautiful people the most.

"Who are you?"

"Me? I'm just doing this for my wife. Who told you to kill her men?" Shen Yi was a little worried. "She's sad and I have to go back to comfort her..."

"It's a waste of your martial arts skills to be controlled by a woman!" The ghost-faced man shouted angrily, his palms were already poisoned in his sleeves, and he instantly attacked Shen Yi's face.

Chen Yi's figure was as ethereal as smoke, and he calmly blocked the attacks one by one. The ghost-faced man's strong Vajra Kung Fu turned into something as soft as silk when it came to Chen Yi.

After hundreds of moves, the ghost-faced man was knocked down by a palm, and his ghost mask shattered, revealing an ugly face with cleft lip, crooked face, and ugly appearance.

Shen Yi sighed.

The ghost-faced man screamed and covered his face in panic, extremely angry. "Don't be so proud! You've been poisoned by my Five Poison Powder. In half an hour, your face will be rotten and you will die!"

Shen Yi looked at him coldly, his expression unchanged, and his face did not show any signs of ulceration.

"You, you!" The ghost-faced man looked at him in disbelief, as if he was crazy. "How come you are okay?! Impossible! Impossible!"

Chen Yi waved away the remaining poison in the air without much concern, "He is ugly, but his heart is also so vicious..."

"You, who are you?" The ghost-faced man looked horrified.

"You don't deserve to know."

Seeing that he was doomed to fail, the ghost-faced man rolled his eyes and tried to use his lightness skills to escape, but he lost his strength and rolled down in the middle of the air.

Shen Yi looked at him with a half-smile, "Do you think you are the only one who can poison?"

The ghost-faced man realized that he had lost all his internal strength at this moment. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was twisted, and he let out a sharp whine of anger from his throat. Knowing that he had no chance of survival, he screamed twice and then committed suicide on the spot.

Nie Wuyou arrived at this time, looking at the tragic scene, he sighed twice, "Brother Chen is really extraordinary, he actually destroyed Youlian Palace! They poisoned me in the past, today I can be regarded as revenge!"

Shen Yi glanced at him, thinking of the deceased Jin Wei, Cang Si, Cang Liu and Cang Shi. They had been together day and night and had a master-servant relationship, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

"Where's Cang Yi?"

"I have it with me. The Heart Protecting Pill has protected his heart meridian. The rest is up to you!" Nie Wuyou said.

With two seriously injured people, Shen Yi did not dare to delay and rode as fast as he could to Shangjing.
