Soaring to 90,000 Miles Chapter Ninety-Four: Flying Cliff Confrontation
Wei Gongde felt as if he had a suffocating nightmare, the avalanche in the valley in the dream was so indescribably real, the roaring sound of the earth, the majestic snow, in the dream seemed to be able to really feel the cold buried by the snow.
But does it hurt to dream?
The cheeks on both sides suddenly hurt hotly for some reason, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on their heads when they were in a daze, and Wei Gongde sat up with a snap!
It's not a fucking nightmare!
"Awake?"
Wei Gongde calmed down, and found that Yang Shanzhe and Luo Shoujun were half-squatting in front of him, while he was leaning on a stone wall, not far from the snow valley, and now he saw that the white expanse was almost integrated with the mountains on both sides, and the snow that poured down reached the feet of the three of them.
"Your Highness!"
Wei Gongde suddenly remembered that it was His Highness who single-handedly blocked the arrows in the sky that gave them a glimmer of life, and it was His Highness who risked death to urge the avalanche to allow them to survive in danger. But now there is no trace of His Highness.
"I should be trapped in the snow valley. ”
Luo Shoujun stood up and turned to look at the snow valley in the distance, which was no longer very distinct, and was a little dark and complicated for a while.
"We can't leave His Highness alone!"
Wei Gongde struggled to get up, but he pulled the injured forearm, and he bared his teeth in pain.
"He'll be fine. ”
Yangshan Zhe stretched out his hand and put it on Wei Gongde's shoulder, stopping him from wanting to go back to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"It is clear that someone has long been ambushed in the snow valley, and it is not the courtier's work to leave His Royal Highness alone to commit danger!"
Despite the unbearable pain in his forearm, Wei Gongde resolutely stood up.
"How much do you know about the Eastern Emperor Taiyi Cultivation Realm?"
Yang Shan Zhe let go of his hand, but asked him a seemingly clueless question.
"I believe that it will definitely be much higher than you, and it can even be said that it is the best cultivation among the four of us. You're injured now, even if you find him, it's just a liability. ”
Without waiting for Wei Gongde to answer, Yang Shanzhe continued to speak.
"Instead of going to him, let's leave and go to the cliff as soon as possible, firstly, to get away from the group of people of unknown origin to ensure our safety, and secondly, not to let him be distracted by us. ”
"Besides, in case something happens to him, we will only go back and die in vain. ”
Wei Gongde, who was stopped by Yang Shan Zheshao, had calmed down a lot, and finally made up his mind after listening to Yang Shan Zhe's analysis a little.
It's just that he didn't even notice that when Donghuang Taiyi urged them to leave his palace first, Wei Gongde's mentality towards Donghuang Taiyi had already changed.
Although they were still worried about the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the three of them acted decisively, and they set off to continue to the flying cliff without further delay.
The place marked on the map with the flying cliff is actually a rift valley, and the terrain from the snow valley is flat all the way, and you can see it in about three hours, and when you come out of the rear, the continuous mountains are hidden in the clouds and mist, and the left and right are almost endless and vast in front of you, and the flying cliff rift is a natural danger and boundary across this flat land.
The front and back rifts are several feet apart, and the only way to access is the rope bridge marked on the map. It's not like no one has tried to walk around from the left and right ends, trying to find a place where the cliffs meet or are a little closer, but all of them have failed.
"This is the Flying Cliff on the map?"
Wei Gongde's cultivation was already weak in the group of four, and he was injured in the lower arm by the arrow, so he felt more and more powerless all the way from the Snow Valley, and later he needed Yang Shan Zhe's support to barely stick here.
Since entering the back mountain, the sun seemed to have disappeared, the three of them stopped to explore the surrounding situation, looked up and found that the sky was still cloudy, as if the heavy snow that had just stopped for a while gradually gained momentum, and the wind that had never stopped, compared to the outside, this place was a completely different world.
Far away from the flying cliff, you can see a black line across the distance where heaven and earth meet, get closer, the black line gradually widens, and finally when you get closer, the three people in front of you can't help but gasp when they see it with their own eyes.
The mountain wind whistled through the canyon, bursts of screams like a terrible ghost, the rift valley was dim and unclear, I don't know how deep it was, a weak rope bridge connected on the cliffs on both sides, shivering in the fierce wind and falling snow, ready to break at any time.
"Where there are relics of the way of the sword, this flying cliff is considered a place, and it is clearly marked on the map from the elder, but where did this ruin come from?"
The three of them stopped at the edge of the flying cliff and did not rush to cross the bridge, Wei Gongde gasped and looked around, at a glance, there was not even a cover, the white and thick snow on the ground was only the two bare stone pillars tied to the head of the rope bridge stood alone, where was the shadow of the kendo ruins.
"Are you looking for the ruins of the Flying Cliff?"
At this moment, there were five people driving their horses in the distance, with a muffled sound of hooves and plum blossoms step by step, and the one in front was the current head of the Sword Sect Disciple Academy, Donghuang Shuo.
The four people behind him were the Eastern Emperor's enemy, the Eastern Emperor's Kusheng brothers, the son of the military department Shangshu Fan Qi's son Fan Sili, and a person with a white plain robe and a mask on his shoulder, I don't know who it is.
"His Highness the Nine!"
Knowing who it was, Wei Gongde almost didn't control his legs, and as soon as his legs were weak, he fell to his knees, shouted His Highness, and was about to salute, but was stopped by Donghuang Shuo.
"It's okay, it's not in the imperial city, you and I are the same family, so you don't need to be polite. ”
"Why is it only the three of you? Isn't the seventh brother in the same group as you?"
Donghuang Shuo looked left and right and asked Wei Gongde.
"Your Highness!"
It was already a sin to let His Highness the Seventh Highness stop the group of thieves of unknown origin from fleeing for their lives first, and now the Nine Emperors asked how they should answer? As the heir of a courtier, he disregarded the life of the prince, no matter how he looked at it, he could not escape punishment.
"Merit is useless, the four of us wore the snow valley but we didn't expect to encounter a thief ambush, the Seventh Highness in order to let us escape first in the back of the block, and then the two sides fought and caused an avalanche, a few of us have a life to live is already God's grace, but the Seventh Highness, the Seventh Highness is estimated to be buried in the avalanche!"
Wei Gongde really felt ashamed in his heart, and he cried when he told His Royal Highness the Nine Highnesses about what happened in the Snow Valley, if it wasn't for Donghuang Shuo's previous saying that he didn't have to salute, I'm afraid he would have fallen to his knees again.
"Are you sure that Seventh Brother buried the avalanche?"
Donghuang Shuo blurted out, and then retracted again.
"Have you seen with your own eyes that the Seventh Highness has been buried in an avalanche?"
"At that time, I only cared about fleeing for my life at the order of His Highness, and I couldn't look back, but His Royal Highness the Seventh really didn't come out of the snow valley. ”
Wei Gongde was still immersed in the guilt of Donghuang Taiyi, and he didn't notice the slightest strangeness of Donghuang Shuo.
His seventh brother was buried in the avalanche, and he was still a little lucky?
Donghuang Shuo's fleeting change in expression showed Luo Shoujun in his eyes. Being in the royal family is ruthless, and the Eastern Emperor family really doesn't have a few good things. In this way, it seems that the Eastern Emperor Taiyi buried the avalanche and is completely to blame. Luo Shoujun thought of this, and the little complicated emotions that still existed before this were completely swept away.
"Since Seventh Brother exchanged his life for the three of you to be able to stock, you must not let down Seventh Brother's kindness. ”
Donghuang Shuo rolled over from his horse and patted Wei Gongde's shoulder with his hand as a sign of comfort.
"Not only the younger generation of our Eastern Emperor, Seventh Brother has always been an example and proud of our Sword Sect disciples, but I didn't expect Seventh Brother to suffer such a natural and man-made disaster. ”
Saying that, Donghuang Shuo's solemn expression added sadness, and his voice began to choke a little.
Is it really fake? Luo Shoujun, who was looking directly at this scene, was dumbfounded, if he hadn't noticed the joy he inadvertently showed when he heard the news for the first time, he really believed in their brotherhood.
What a ridiculous face of a hypocrite.
Luo Shoujun really couldn't help but secretly despise it in his heart, with this person, he didn't seem so annoying compared to Donghuang Taiyi, although he was buried in an avalanche now.
"I believe that Brother Qi doesn't want you to be sad for him all the time, I will let the elders of the sect handle this matter well when I go back to this trial. ”
"Your Highness must find out the truth and give justice to the Seventh Highness, how can someone ambush in the trial, how can there be a sneak attack by the killer when the arrows are lost all over the sky!"
"Definitely. ”
Donghuang Shuo beckoned to the Donghuang who had also dismounted, and the Donghuang had enemies, and the Donghuang Kusheng and others also came over.
"It's been more than half of the trial trip to the Flying Cliff, and several of us are following closely with the goal of Seventh Brother, I think you are also planning to go straight to the Flying Cliff to find the ruins, so let's pack up our mood and continue to move forward, and we will have no regrets for Seventh Brother if we can gain something." ”
"It's all up to Your Highness's arrangement. ”
Wei Gongde nodded.
"Then let's cross the cliff first, the three of you go first, and we'll take care of it later. ”
Donghuangshuo pointed to the rope bridge.
"How can it be better to get ahead of His Highness, it is better for His Highness to go first, and we will take care of it later. ”
Yang Shanzhe suddenly said loudly.
"Respect and humility are orderly, the small ones don't dare to mess with the rules, or Your Highness goes first. ”
This time, Luo Shoujun was unusual, and after giving a blessing to the Donghuang Shuo people, he echoed what Yangshan Zhe said.
"Let you go first, you go first, where is so much nonsense!"
The Eastern Emperor has an enemy, listening to Brother Jiu and them, I have been impatient for a long time, just a few subordinates, what qualifications do you have to pick and choose, let you die, how many more minutes can you live?
"There is an enemy!"
Donghuang Shuo turned his head and glared at the Donghuang enemy.
When it comes to this, even a fool can see that something is wrong, who comes first and who is next is a big problem, but insisting on letting a few of them go first will inevitably make people suspicious.
So both sides had their own thoughts, and neither of them moved.
The man in the mask had never dismounted from his horse, but suddenly he approached with a twist on the horse's belly.
