The First Part: Lotus Song
Chapter 1
—Just then, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
—This plank road is so narrow that even people have to be very careful when crossing it, yet people can actually ride horses on it?
The rider on horseback called out from afar, "Make way, make way!" He kept calling as he rode without stopping, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of them.
Yue Shenhong was surrounded in the middle of the plank road, with a steep mountain wall beside her and a bottomless abyss below. She inwardly cried out in alarm; her martial arts skills were formidable, but she was afraid of heights. Meanwhile, Fei Yunzi had pursued her for nearly a thousand miles from Yunliang City, and now was their last chance to reclaim the "Yunluo Barrier." The moment they met, without a word, Fei Yunzi pointed his longsword, and Yue Shenhong pressed her hand to her hidden weapon pouch—the tension was palpable.
The horse wanted to pass, and they insisted that the others make way. But the Kongtong people had finally managed to surround Yue Shenhong, and they were unwilling to easily break away.
Several disciples of the Kongtong Sect stopped the troublesome horse. The rider exclaimed, "Eh? When did bandits appear on Wannian Mountain?" He carried a small bundle on his back, and his clothing was quite peculiar. He wore white robes of an unknown material, with wide sleeves revealing a deep red lining. The red was soft as water, shimmering beautifully in the setting sun, as if it could flow. Intricate patterns wound from the cuffs all the way in, the embroidery exquisite.
Even the few Kongtong disciples who knew nothing about weaving and embroidery could tell that the garment was quite valuable. Moreover, his head was adorned with a jeweled crown, two tassels hanging from his black hair; in the setting sun, the jewels shimmered and glowed alluringly. The group couldn't help but sigh inwardly; if they were truly bandits, they had stumbled upon a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"This is a private matter for the gang; please take another route, young master."
The man on horseback glanced at the sky, frowned, and said, "Besides this shortcut, where else can I make it to dinner? Hey, you guys, stop for a second before you start fighting."
Fei Yunzi, not wanting to cause any more trouble, coldly snorted and said, "Take him aside."
The disciples obeyed the order, but as soon as their hands touched the man's sleeve, their fingertips felt as if they had been burned by fire. The pain instantly traveled from their fingertips to their elbows, and their entire arms felt like they were soaking in a pot of hot oil. The pain was so intense that it felt like a layer of skin was about to peel off.
Those nearby saw several people rush forward and then retreat at the same time, each clutching their arms and screaming in pain, but there were no wounds on their hands.
Fei Yunzi was startled, only then realizing that the person on horseback was unusual, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, sir?"
Several people were groaning in pain beside his horse, but he didn't even look at them. He glanced at the sky again, sighed, and said softly, "Alas, if we delay any longer, we'll miss dinner..." As soon as he said this, his horse neighed softly and galloped over.
No one expected him to charge straight at them like that. The plank road was narrow, and they couldn't dodge in time. They raised their knives and slashed at the horse's legs. Fei Yunzi shouted, "Leave the antidote!"
Before the four words were even out of her mouth, her arm suddenly went numb, and with a series of clanging sounds, all the swords of the Kongtong people fell from their hands. Yue Shenhong also felt her arm go weak and exclaimed in surprise, "Such powerful bone-softening powder, such domineering poisonous wasps. Are you perhaps a member of the Tang Clan?"
She was a member of the Qingcheng Martial Arts Sect. Upon seeing the poisoned state of the previous group, she immediately recognized it as being caused by poisonous wasps. This poison doesn't cause substantial harm to the body and has no direct lethality; very few people truly know how to use it. Yet this person's poisonous wasps could cause martial artists to writhe in agony on the ground—truly a display of extreme ruthlessness.
Chapter Two
The Soft Bone Powder was also in the crimson medicine pouch. However, Soft Bone Powder is a slow-acting poison, and it couldn't possibly cause instant paralysis and weakness like this person did. Upon seeing him use the Poisonous Wasp, she knew he was a master of poisons and quickly swallowed a Detoxification Pill. Soft Bone Powder isn't supposed to be a lethal poison, only causing weakness and weakness in the muscles and bones. The Detoxification Pill couldn't counteract its effects; although she didn't collapse, she could no longer grip her longsword.
We are now near Chengdu, and the Tang Clan is located within Chengdu. The Tang Clan's poisons and hidden weapons are renowned throughout the world. If such a master of poisons were not from the Tang Clan, where else could compare?
The horse was incredibly intelligent; its four hooves leaped through the gaps between the fallen members of Kongtong Sect, without stepping on a single piece of clothing. As soon as the horse landed, the rider turned around, a smile appearing in his eyes and brows, and said, "Hmm, my surname is Tang. You have good eyesight. That antidote is also quite skillful; it actually
