Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Yan Lin Is About to Die

"You, you know about the Poisonous Insect?"

Yan Lin’s eyes trembled slightly.

He had thought she knew nothing of this, since medicine and the Poisonous Insect were separate fields, which is why he had been willing to let her take his pulse.

"I have some understanding."

Chu Baihan immediately spoke up, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Hesitating for a moment, Yan Lin tried to pull back his hand, but Chu Baihan held on tightly.

"Don’t move!" she said coldly.

The poison in him wasn’t limited to the Poisonous Insect Poison; there were other deadly toxins as well.

"What have you done in these six years? Can’t you take better care of your body?"

Chu Baihan was so angry that her chest hurt.

She had gone to great lengths to cure him of his poison years ago; why, after six years of no contact, had he allowed his body to end up like this?

She was angry not just because he hadn’t taken care of his body, but also because he hadn’t cherished her efforts.

Listening to her angry words, Yan Lin looked down and said hoarsely, "I’m sorry, this king has failed to appreciate your painstaking efforts..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Just as he was about to say more, his chest suddenly shook violently, and he coughed up fresh blood.

"Stop moving around!"

Chu Baihan quickly pressed down on his shoulders, her teeth gritted.

Simply taking his pulse couldn’t confirm exactly which poison he had been inflicted with.

She must use silver needles to open all his acupoints...

But she simply didn’t have enough silver needles at the moment.

Touching her empty waist, Chu Baihan’s expression was extremely annoyed.

"I, this king is alright..."

Yan Lin shook his head, his hoarse voice comforting her.

Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth, adding a morbidly red hue to his pale face.

Seeing him like this, Chu Baihan felt both anger and helplessness.

"Look at the state of your body, yet you still say you’re fine. I’ve never seen anyone suffer from so many deadly toxins, including Heart Erosion!" she said sternly.

Although she hadn’t been able to determine what exactly the other poisons were, just the Heart-eating Poisonous Insect alone was enough to take his life at any moment.

Heart Erosion, as the name implies, hides inside a person’s body, slowly nibbling at their flesh and blood, and when it grows tired, it begins to eat away at their heart and lungs.

This is one of the most vicious Poisonous Insects from the Miao Border!

"Who on earth have you offended?"

Chu Baihan’s tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Watching the last bit of color fade from his face, she didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

It’s just...

very complicated.

She couldn’t bear to see something happen to him.

"Wait here, I’ll find the mechanism to open the door and get you out."

She suppressed the complex emotions in her eyes, then spoke to him urgently.

"You don’t need to bother with this king, you..."

"Shut up, there’s no need to show off your strength at a time like this!"

Chu Baihan sharply interrupted him, not giving him a chance to refuse.

She turned around and began observing the place.

It was surrounded by stone walls; she walked around each corner once and then her eyes suddenly brightened.

This place was actually the same size as the room they were in before.

So, her earlier speculation could be correct—the mechanism outside might be in the same location as the mechanism inside.

She closed her eyes and continued to walk around the room.

After several rounds, she stopped in one spot and quickly opened her eyes.

"Yes, it’s this place," she said with a sense of urgency.

But after stamping her foot on the ground repeatedly in that spot, there was no reaction at all.

Why was this happening?

Her worried gaze turned to Yan Lin; seeing that he was nearly unconscious, her heart sank deeply.

Where exactly is the mechanism?

She wasn’t ready to give up and tried once more in the opposite direction.

But this time, there was still no response.

At that moment, Yan Lin also stood up, staggered a few times, and then straightened his back.

He walked step by step towards Chu Baihan.

When he was behind her, he took a dagger from his person.

"The Yan Family’s mechanisms are very methodical; if an external mechanism is in a certain position, the internal one should be in the same position. But since we can’t open this door, it can only mean we still need something else..."

After saying that, he raised the dagger and slashed his own palm again, forcefully, blood flowing freely, dripping onto the ground.

In the next instant, a bizarre scene occurred: the snow simply vanished.

Then, everything around them disappeared.

Only then did they realize they were still in the same room as before.

"It was an illusion just now," said Chu Baihan in shock.

"Could it be, this..." She suddenly realized something.

"The Yan Family’s Illusion Array," Yan Lin replied in a subdued voice.

That’s right, it was a formation.

She understood!

Ever since she had entered this place, all the strange things she had seen were caused by the formation.

The Yan Family’s strongest asset was their formations.

Years ago, it was through these formations that the Yan Family established the Yan Country.

She had almost been trapped in this formation just now.

"Since it’s a Yan Family formation, setting it up requires the blood of the Yan Family descendants, and breaking it requires the same," Yan Lin continued in his hoarse voice.

If all of this were an illusion, then what about the Snow Ganoderma?

Chu Baihan quickly looked down, and the Snow Ganoderma was still in her arms.

Only then did her anxious heart settle.

Thankfully, the Snow Ganoderma was not part of the illusionary realm.

It must be that the Yan Family people set up this formation to use the illusionary realm to hide the Snow Ganoderma.

"Let’s get out of here quickly," she said.

Chu Baihan didn’t dare stay any longer; she quickly went to Yan Lin’s side, intending to pull him out.

But at that moment, Yan Lin knelt on one knee.

Through clenched teeth, he said, "You go quickly."

"What’s wrong with you?" Chu Baihan asked anxiously.

Suddenly, she saw blood flowing from Yan Lin’s eyes, nose, and ears.

Her heart sank.

"One who forcibly breaks the formation will suffer backlash. The higher the level of the formation, the more severe the backlash."

Recalling what she had read about Yan Country back in Nanduan Kingdom, her heart plunged to the depths.

Yan Lin had been backlashed!

His body was already on its last legs, and with the backlash, the Poisonous Insect inside him began to stir.

If the Poisonous Insect fully awakened, he would... surely die.

He must have known this, and that’s why he was telling her to leave quickly, right?

"After you leave, take your people and quickly depart Yan Country, so no matter what happens, Yan Country won’t be able to deal with you for a while," Yan Lin said, enduring the pain as he arranged an escape route for Chu Baihan.

"If you can, when you leave, take Jingjing with you; she... she is very fond of you."

"If possible, please don’t let her know that this king dies due to Poisonous Insect Poison," he added.

"Stop talking," Chu Baihan said quickly as she moved to support him, her voice trembling.

"No, listen to me," Yan Lin shook his head, his voice was weak, but he spoke determinedly.

Chu Baihan hurriedly snatched the dagger from his hand in a panic.

She was trying to locate the position of the Poisonous Insect inside his body.

To distract him, she had no choice but to follow his earlier words and asked, "Why can’t you let Jingjing know about the Poisonous Insect Poison?"

"Because, the Poisonous Insect was brought upon me at my request by my master, from Jingjing’s body. When she was brought by my master, she had already been affected by Heart Erosion..."

What?

Upon hearing Yan Lin’s words, Chu Baihan’s hand weakened, and the dagger nearly dropped to the ground.
