Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Baili Heng ordered his troops to set up camp fifty miles from Humusa.

Lin Ruoshui was discussing matters with the others in the main tent when, as they were talking, Lin Ruoshui suddenly felt dizzy and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The blood splattered all over Baili Heng, and he was terrified, feeling as if the blood in his body had frozen.

He grabbed Lin Ruoshui's waist and pulled her into his arms.

Xiu Yi appeared and hurriedly took Lin Ruoshui's pulse.

Xiu Yi's eyes sharpened, and she said, "She's been poisoned!"

Everyone sighed in dismay. Guo Bohan asked worriedly, "What kind of poison is it? Is it serious? Is it curable?"

Xiu Yi gritted her teeth and said, "It's very heavy, and very difficult to untangle!"

Baili Heng's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Xiuyi, you have a way to detoxify, don't you?"

Xiu Yi said, "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he took Lin Ruoshui from Baili Heng's arms and carried her back to his tent.

The two sat cross-legged on the bed, and Xiu Yi used her internal energy to expel the poison from her body.

After Xiu Yi channeled his internal energy, he felt a slight tremor suddenly emanate from Lin Ruoshui's body.

This is because the poison in her body has begun to move under the pressure of her internal energy.

A thought struck him, and he immediately accelerated the flow of his internal energy.

Under his control, the poison was like sandstorms swept up by a gale, rapidly propelling it toward Lin Ruoshui's right arm.

After some effort, he finally felt that the toxin had been completely concentrated in Lin Ruoshui's right arm.

Xiu Yi took a deep breath, slowly withdrew her inner strength, and returned to that tranquil state of oneness with heaven and earth.

Xiu Yi slowly opened his eyes, lifted Lin Ruoshui's right arm, and saw a dark bluish-black patch on it. He took out his knife, preparing to cut off her right arm directly.

Baili Heng, who had been watching from the doorway, suddenly rushed over and grabbed the blade in Xiuyi's hand.

Blood dripped from Baili Heng's hand onto Lin Ruoshui's right arm.

Xiu Yi sheathed her sword, preparing to use her internal force to shatter Lin Ruoshui's right arm.

Ling Ye, Ouyang Xuri, and Yun Mo stepped forward to stop them.

Ling Ye asked, "What exactly happened? How could you do such a thing to her?"

Xiu Yi said calmly, "There is no cure for this poison, and it cannot be expelled from the body with internal force. If it is not cured within three days, even a god cannot save it."

Ling Ye said, "There are still three days left. Let's work together to figure something out. Maybe we can save her arm."

Xiu Yi said, "No matter what she becomes, I will never despise her."

Baili Heng said, "Have you considered her feelings? Can she accept losing an arm?"

Xiu Yi said, "An arm is nothing compared to life."

Ling Ye said, "Give me some time, I will definitely get the antidote. I beg you not to hurt her."

Xiu Yi lowered her hand and looked at Ling Ye calmly.

Ling Ye said, "Give me two days. If I can't cure the poison after two days, then do as you say!"

Ouyang Xuri said, "It's just a right arm. No matter what Yingying becomes, my heart for her will never change."

If you can't do it, then let me be the villain.

Having said that, Ouyang Xuri was about to make a move.

Yunmo blocked his way and said, "If this poison can be cured, but you severed her arm, will you really not regret it?"

Ouyang Xu said, "I would rather she hate me than have her life in danger."

When Ouyang Xuri was about to make a decisive move, Yun Mo, who had never fought before, actually started fighting with Ouyang Xuri.

Yunmo's martial arts skills were very high, and Ouyang Xuri couldn't defeat him for a while.

Ling Ye leaped into the air and struck Ouyang Xuri in the chest with a palm strike.

Ouyang Xuri suffered a heart injury and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Ling Ye stepped forward and politely clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Ouyang Xuri, give me some time. You have to trust me."

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ouyang Xuri's anxiety subsided considerably.

He lost his mind for a moment because of Lin Ruoshui's poisoning. He said, "Okay, let's go find the antidote together. We must save Yingying's arm."

Ling Ye said, "Don't worry, at worst I'll switch bodies with her and let her live in my body."

Everyone was surprised by Ling Ye's rationality at the critical moment, and was also moved by his affection.

Baili Heng said, "Lingye, you and Ouyang Xuri go to find the antidote. Yunmo and I will investigate who poisoned her. Xiuyi, you stay by her side and take good care of her."

Five exceptionally handsome men stayed up all night, each busy with their own tasks.

The next morning, Lin Ruoshui was still asleep. After Ling Ye swapped bodies with her, he left without changing his wet clothes.

Baili Heng found out who poisoned the person in just one night.

That man was Li Er, the cook. When Baili Heng was interrogating him, Ling Ye stood by and watched. He could hear Li Er's thoughts.

Li Er thought to himself, "If it weren't for that little bit of silver, I wouldn't have done something that would have cost me my life. I harmed the military commander and myself. It's all that lame girl's fault. She's the one who ruined me."

When Ling Ye heard about the lame girl, his heart churned like a giant wave, and his blood seemed to flow backward.

He stormed into the mountains and fired a shot into a cave.

A lame woman and two middle-aged men emerged from the cave together.

Ling Ye pointed the gun at the woman's forehead and asked, "Did you poison her?"

The lame woman did not deny it, but said with reddened eyes, "She killed my sister, and I avenged my sister. What's wrong with that?"

Not only that, she also imprisoned you, my lord, hindering your grand ambition of becoming emperor. Shouldn't she die?

Ling Ye fired a shot at her limp leg, and she crouched down in pain.

Ling Ye pointed the pistol at the back of her head and asked, "Where's the antidote? Give it to me."

A middle-aged man said, "Master, is there no antidote for that poison?"

Ling Ye pressed the pistol against the middle-aged man's temple and asked, "Did you poison him? What kind of poison is it? Why is there no antidote?" Ling Ye asked, his whole body trembling, and finally he almost screamed hysterically.

The lame woman said, "Master, it was I who poisoned him. Please don't kill my father. The poison is called 'Lingluo'. After being poisoned, a person will fall into a deep sleep, and after three days, their whole body will rot and they will die."

Ling Ye's eyes bulged, and he clenched his teeth as he uttered two words: "Scattered?"

Ling Ye's ferocious appearance terrified the three people present.

“Master, your subordinates have been loyal to you for many years. Are you going to take our lives for someone who is not even a worthy successor?” another middle-aged man said.

Ling Ye said, "Is your so-called loyalty to assassinate my beloved behind my back? From today onwards, you are no longer my subordinates. Get out of here immediately!"

The three of them knelt down and kowtowed desperately.

The limping woman tried to lunge at Ling Ye's legs, but Ling Ye aimed at her head and fired a shot.

The woman's brains splattered, and she died instantly.

Ling Ye wandered aimlessly through the mountains, his heart aching beyond measure. Everything Lin Ruoshui had endured was because of him.

He vowed to protect her, but he repeatedly put her in danger.

Ling Ye arrived at the edge of the cliff. He felt the biting cold wind and his mind became much clearer.

He couldn't give up; he had to come up with a solution as quickly as possible.

He gazed at the city of Humusa below the cliff, slowly closed his eyes, and jumped off.

As expected, Ling Ye did not die, but instead entered Humusa City.

He inquired throughout the city about doctors skilled in detoxification, visiting ten clinics in a row, but none of them had ever heard of the poison "Lingluo".

As darkness fell, Ling Ye did not give up and continued his search.

A dirty old beggar held out a broken bowl to him and said, "Young master, please have mercy and give me some silver."

Ling Ye looked down at the old beggar, thinking that he wanted to accumulate merit for Lin Ruoshui, so he took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to him.

The old beggar's hands trembled as he grasped the delicate jade pendant. The jade felt warm to the touch, as if it contained a warm liquid, and it shimmered with a soft glow under the light.

Ling Ye walked away, and the old beggar lay on the ground and shouted loudly, "Good jade, good jade! Benefactor, perhaps someone can cure the poison of the fallen jade."

Ling Ye returned to the old beggar in a flash. He squatted down and asked, "Who? Who can cure the Poison of Fallen Souls?"
