“What’s going on? My poisonous fog… It should only deal with the designated person!” Shui Qianruo cried in shock. The poisonous fog had drifted between them. Several Qi Artists failed to defend from it and fell into the imaginary scene.

Shui Qianruo’s face changed greatly, and the First Prince also seemed to see something. He was drooling and cheered, “Come on… Hua Qiyue, how beautiful you are… You’re so beautiful. Let me kiss you!”

The First Prince’s words made the Qi Artists not far away from him angry and fearful. They did not expect that the First Prince would be poisoned in this risky hour!

“Now, everybody attack her together!” Shui Qianruo saw his hallucinogen was ineffective for Hua Qiyue, so he could not help shouting angrily.

After his voice fell, everyone emerged from the darkness!

All the Qi Artists had surrounded Hua Qiyue with a thick circle in a flash!

Shui Qianruo immediately took out the antidote and helped the First Prince and others take it. The First Prince came to his senses, finding that those Qi Artists were looking at him strangely, then thought a disaster was imminent. He must have been poisoned just then. What did he say or do to make his subordinates look at him like that?

Hua Qiyue was to blame!

The First Prince looked coldly at Hua Qiyue in the crowd and said ruthlessly, “Hua Qiyue! This time, I will show you how you die. Even if you have ten thousand wings, it’s difficult to escape from my palm!”

“Everybody, come on, catch her alive!” The First Prince shouted ruthlessly. All the Qi Artists looked at Shui Qianruo. In their hearts, the First Prince was not powerful enough to be obeyed. Most of the Qi Artists were arrogant. They would only obey those who were stronger than themselves, instead of going by status.

“Kill her!” Shui Qianruo ignored the First Prince’s request. He thought that the woman had to die, the sooner the better! Otherwise, it would become more difficult to deal with her!

Hundreds of Qi Artists pulled out their swords, and their anima energy was gathered at the end of the sword to form the most powerful killing spirit. And senior Qi Artists used their anima energy as the weapon. All of them attacked and struck at the woman in the middle together.

Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows and used Mourning Steps. After killing dozens of Qi Artists in one breath, she glanced at Shui Qianruo.

Her purpose tonight was to ask Shui Qianruo for a little interest.

Hua Qiyue sneered. She snapped her finger, and an invisible air bomb hit Shui Qianruo who planned to attack her!

“Shui Qianruo, it is the First Prince who is your enemy. Open your eyes and kill him!”

Shui Qianruo’s whole body was stiff. A powerful force made him unconsciously look at the First Prince outside. Without saying anything, he flew up and stabbed him with his sword.

All the Qi Artists were surprised at this sudden change. And a few of the First Prince’s secret guards shouted coldly, “Shui Qianruo rebels! Everyone, quickly protect the First Prince! Although Shui Qianruo’s Qi Art is superior to yours, he has always been near the Emperor. Now he is instigated by the evildoer Hua Qiyue… Protect the First Prince now, and each person will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!”

The secret guard was extremely clever. When power was not tempting, money was.

So most of the Qi Artists jumped up and fought with Shui Qianruo. However, Shui Qianruo was good at poisoning; he defeated them in a short time.

Hua Qiyue smiled lightly. She had solidified much of the poisonous fog just then, and turned it into a tiny poisonous pellet using the fire in her body.

Hua Qiyue leapt forward, and instantly moved in front of Shui Qianruo. Then she snapped her jade finger again, and a tiny poisonous pellet flew to Shui Qianruo!

Shui Qianruo had lost his mind, and regarded Hua Qiyue as his master. So he open his mouth tamely and swallowed that poisonous pellet!

“Hahaha, Shui Qianruo, try the poisonous pellet refined by yourself. It is probably very delicious!”

While Hua Qiyue was talking to him, she was leaping to the sky!

The following Qi Artists who attacked her were surprised. They were all united by the Four Great Families. Although they had heard the name of Hua Qiyue, they had been reluctant to believe that she was such powerful woman.

Because only the Qi Artists above Cultivation Dimension could leap to the sky.

“Hua Qiyue reached the lower level of Cultivation Dimension! She had been hiding her energy until now!”

“Yes, she hid her energy. So we hadn’t detected her level!”

“Even if she were in the Cultivation Dimension realm, can’t we hundreds of Qi Artists fail to kill one Hua Qiyue?”

“Yes, if we attack her together, we must be able to kill her!”

All the Qi Artists cried frantically. Hua Qiyue was too high-profile during this period, which caused countless Qi Artists to be jealous and resentful.

A single herbal medicine could be auctioned for hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of gold. They might not save one million taels of gold for being Qi Artists their whole lives. But it was easy for Hua Qiyue.

How were they not angry or jealous?

“Want to kill me? You are still too weak!” Hua Qiyue said with a cold hum, then she opened her cherry lips, “Soul Death Incantation!”

The surrounding anima energy got crazily sucked into Hua Qiyue’s hands, forming a huge black dragon. The dragon body moved in waves. Its powerful anima energy rubbed against the air, and made a sharp whirring sound immediately.

“Go ahead!” Hua Qiyue made an order coldly. The black dragon suddenly seemed to be alive. It opened its mouth to those Qi Artists on the ground, and the black elements expanded instantly. Many of them felt their souls were in pain. But before they responded, their souls were attacked. Several souls were dead then they softly paralyzed on the ground.

Those Qi Artists who lost two souls and two sprits were more tragic than those who died with nothing left.

For a while, only a few hundred Qi Artists were left. And First Prince was hurt by Shui Qianruo. At this time, the poison in Shui Qianruo’s body worked and then he was taken over by other Qi Artists immediately.

However, hundreds of Qi Artists fled. When they saw that Hua Qiyue was so powerful, no one dared to attack her anymore.

“Withdraw!” When the First Prince saw that he couldn’t capture Hua Qiyue with so many people, he was frightened and angry at once. He was also injured. His arm was chopped by Shui Qianruo, and now his white clothes were dyed red!

Hua Qiyue slowly landed on the ground. She looked at the corpses strewn on the ground and was just about to leave. At this time, Yun Shimo’s voice came to her, “I didn’t expect for you to have mastered some tricks to scatter these people as soon as I arrived.”

Yun Shimo and Ji Feng came out together, and then others, such as Caining, Caiqing and Huangfu Xuan. They shook their heads incessantly when they saw those corpses on the ground. “Don’t offend a woman, or you’ll have a miserable fate,” Caining said lightly.

Hua Qiyue let them stay in the dark deliberately. She told them to stay there if she was not in danger, to avoid frightening them.

Unexpectedly, it had been a brilliant move. They had no chance at all.

Hua Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her sweat. She said, “Okay, it’s over, go back home. Queen Liu will find more powerful people in the future, and I should leave them to you later.”

Yun Shimo stared at Hua Qiyue gently and said, “If you’re tired, there are hot springs in my mansion.”

Who would want to soak in hot springs at such a risky time? Hua Qiyue gave him an angry stare, turned around and left.

The men looked at each other and shook their heads in silence. Now Hua Qiyue was so strong that she didn’t need their protection at all. It seemed that the previous worries were superfluous.

——————

On their way back, the poison of Shui Qianruo was finally dissolved by itself. Of course, Hua Qiyue’s Spirit Summoning Art had a certain period of time, and half of it would be invalid in a short moment.

Once it failed, Shui Qianruo woke up and found himself trapped by several huge chains, which made him frightened and angry.

“What are you doing here? Why did you lock me?”

There were four Qi Artists looking at him indifferently on the carriage. While the First Prince was on one side, the medical Qi Artist was dressing his wound.

“What am I doing? You should ask what you have done! Shui Qianruo! You are in cahoots with Hua Qiyue. And you even intended to assassinate me. After returning to the palace, I will treat you wel!” The First Prince roared ruthlessly. But he was still angry, so he lashed at Shui Qianruo’s eyes with one hand ruthlessly!

Shui Qianruo’s whole body was trapped tightly. He tried to break the chain with anima energy, but there was Qi Artist’s restriction, of a realm higher than his, so he failed to break the chain!

“Ouch…”

With a scream, the First Prince gouged one of Shui Qianruo’s eyes directly…

He had been a poisoner for so long. And he had never really met such a tragic situation, not to mention why he suddenly “colluded with” Hua Qiyue.

Shui Qianruo refused to accept defeat. A strand of black gas emerged from the left hand with a snap of both fingers and it spread instantly, filling the carriage with mist.

“Watch out! It’s toxic!”

Four Qi Artists cried in a strangled manner. The First Prince covered his mouth and nose first, but it was too late. He breathed in a wisp of black gas, and immediately felt that he had been pumped out of anima energy. Then the severe pain began to spread from the heart!

“How dare you vilify me in collusion with Hua Qiyue, and dig my eye out… I must kill you tonight!” Shui Qianruo had already wanted to rebel. At the moment, he would not have cared too much about Princess Huiya even though he was about to marry her.

What a joke it was that an honourable poisoner in the country had one of his eyes gouged out!

“Quickly… Protect the First Prince!” The Qi Artist outside knew something happened in the carriage and he shouted immediately.

Shui Qianruo knew that there were stronger people than him outside. So he pulled the chain severely, and the chain was torn off by him.

Shui Qianruo leaped to break the roof of the carriage and disappeared into the clouds.

“Quickly… the Prince was poisoned…” The Qi Artist outside cried nervously when he saw that the First Prince had turned black all over.

One of the high-level Qi Artists rushed to the front and dropped his five fingers like claws on First Prince’s wrist. “I’ll point the acupoints in the First Prince’s body first to prevent the poisonous gas from spreading. Return to the palace soon!”

There should be auxiliary antidotes in the palace. After all, the great poisoner served the palace, and the Emperor was not very relieved by this. So that, each time, when Shui Qianruo made a poison, he would put the antidote in the palace.

The First Prince’s minions dared not ride in the carriage any more. They let the highest level practitioners carry the First Prince on their backs and rushed as lightning towards the palace with his spiritual energy.

The Changlong Emperor was furious that night. The First Prince’s men lied about the First Prince going out to enjoy the moon with Hua Qiyue, but he fell prey to a plot by Hua Qiyue and Shui Qianruo. He was badly injured and had only one breath left.

But the antidotes in the palace were all useless.

In the end, the Queen let the Chongxiao restored not long save the First Prince at his best. The First Prince survived but it was half-baked.

Hearing the news, the Emperor was raging and angry. Shui Qianruo was the poisoner he had put in an important position. But to his surprise, instead of training a poisoner, a poisonous tiger that hurt the royal family was nurtured.

With the sudden change of wind and clouds, the Changlong Emperor made an order to seize Hua Qiyue. The Hua’s Mansion was surrounded by a large number of Palace Guards.
