Chapter 24: Old Friend
"Zhukong! Feiwu!" Shi Yepeng howled, and suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground. It turned out that this Liufeng Dart was highly poisonous! If you are poisoned by this, as long as you don't take the antidote within half a minute, even if you take the antidote later, you will definitely die.
Shi Yepeng closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and used his internal energy to suppress the spread of the poison, not daring to move.
Not long after Rong Yu left the Jiulan Gate Hall, he met the woman in green in the corridor.
"Disciple kowtows to the Master!" said the woman in green.
"Xi Pingshu, you're back! Is everything done?" Rong Yu asked.
The woman in green is named Xi Pingshu, and she is a disciple of Jiulan Sect.
"It's done! Master, three men in black followed me and found the stone slab on the cliff. They were all hit by my Liufeng Darts. Two of them have fallen off the cliff, and the other one jumped back onto the cliff. He has been poisoned and should not be able to go anywhere else. It's all my fault for being careless. I didn't notice that I was being followed and almost leaked the secrets of our sect." Xi Pingshu said ashamedly.
When Rong Yu heard the words "men in black", she immediately thought of the four people including Shi Yepeng and his disciples as described by Yin Ruchen. However, Xi Pingshu said that there were only three people, which made her a little uneasy. She was eager to go out and see the situation outside, so she quickly ran to the cave entrance, lifted the stone cover on the lower wall of the cave, put the stone cover aside, grabbed the handle that was originally blocked by the stone cover, and pressed down hard. All the stone slabs and ladders needed to climb up the cliff popped out.
Shi Yepeng heard some movement on the cliff and wanted to go forward to take a look, but he was afraid that if he moved, the poison would immediately invade his internal organs. After Rongyu came up, before he had time to go to a hidden place to turn on the mechanism that retracted the stone ladder, he saw Shi Yepeng on the edge of the cliff.
"Cang Ji?!" Although Shi Yepeng didn't dare to move at will when he saw Rong Yu, he still couldn't help but scream.
Hearing these two words and hearing this voice, Rong Yu suddenly froze in the snow like an ice sculpture, looking at Shi Yepeng in surprise.
"Cang Ji, I am Wangnian!" Shi Yepeng said without sparing any strength, "I'm sorry for you! I have been poisoned and will not live long. It is God's will to die in front of you!" said Shi Yepeng.
"Wangnian...Shi Yepeng? The Shi Yepeng who uses Sibiwang?" Rong Yu thought of Yin Ruchen's description and felt that the person in front of him was Shi Yepeng.
"You know everything? Shi Yepeng is You Wangnian. Over the years, there is no You Wangnian in the world, only Shi Yepeng. I thought I would never mention the name You Wangnian again in my life, but today, God made me meet you again... Just kill me with one sword..." When he said this, Shi Yepeng started coughing violently due to the onset of the poison.
Rong Yu knew that even if he was given the antidote now, he would not be able to recover immediately. No matter how powerful his martial arts were, he was confident that he could easily subdue him within a few hours. So he fed Shi Yepeng the highly toxic antidote on the Liufeng Dart and pressed his acupoints, making him unable to move.
When she heard You Wangnian say, "Over the years, there is no You Wangnian in the world, only Shi Yepeng," she suddenly thought of herself, and thought that many years ago, there was no Yin Cangji in this world, only Rong Yu.
Although Shi Yepeng was wearing a mask and they had been apart for many years, she recognized the man in black as You Wangnian from the beginning. But she still wanted to see him clearly: "Will you see me in your true face?"
