Chapter 221 The Secret Beneath the Cliff

Chapter 221: Chapter 221 The Secret Beneath the Cliff

Amidst the mountains and forests, the man seated on horseback pressed hard against the location of his heart.

Just now, for some reason, this spot had suddenly been seized by a jolt of pain!

He remembered that a month ago, when he heard the news that the dead woman had been thrown into the Hunting Ground, this spot also experienced a jolt of pain.

But the pain at that time was much lighter compared to now.

The pain at this moment felt like a heart-wrenching illusion.

However, it was just for an instant; the pain then dissipated without a trace.

"Your Highness," Leng Ji circled back and said, "We’ve found traces of someone passing by up ahead. It seems they really did go in."

Feng Yexuan immediately spurred his horse forward.

Leng Ji hurriedly said, "Your Highness, countless people have entered Heifeng Ridge, but... no one has ever come out alive. If Your Highness goes, there will... there will be danger."

Feng Yexuan’s face remained expressionless as he arrived at the entrance to Heifeng Ridge.

This place had a very peculiar terrain.

The entrance was quite obvious; aside from this spot, the rest of the area was densely covered in thorns, completely impassable.

"Your Highness, what if it’s not the Princess... not Miss Qianli and the others? If we enter now, wouldn’t we miss them?"

"You stay behind. If you see that woman, command her to wait here for me."

"Your Highness..." Leng Ji was very uneasy. Did His Highness mean that no matter whether Chu Qianli had entered or not, he still had to forge ahead first?

"But if I do find Miss Qianli, I won’t be able to notify Your Highness to withdraw immediately either!"

That was the real problem.

If Chu Qianli wasn’t in there, when would His Highness find her?

Once a person entered, they would be completely out of contact with the outside.

What should they do then?

Feng Yexuan did not speak; he leapt down from his horse and, with his tall figure, entered the forest.

"Your Highness!" Leng Ji wanted to follow him.

But after taking just one step, he was forced back by a strike of the palm.

"Everyone stay put. If you see Chu Qianli, do not allow her to enter."

"Your Highness, what about you...?"

"I will be fine. Unable to find her, I will come out on my own."

He took steps and walked away.

Leng Ji wanted to follow, but he had to obey the order to stay.

After just a moment’s hesitation, His Highness had disappeared without a trace.

This Heifeng Ridge was truly very strange; everywhere there was a nauseating, putrid smell of decay.

Even though His Highness was highly skilled in martial arts, it was said that those Medicine Men and Dead Soldiers do not fear death or pain, moving like walking corpses, insane like madmen.

Your Highness, may nothing happen to you...

...

Fu Long, leading his team, had finally made it to the edge of Heifeng Cliff with great difficulty.

But by the time they reached here, his team had dwindled to just three people.

Including himself.

"Qiongyi, Gongling, you two stay here. I’ll go down and take a look," he said.

At the bottom of Heifeng Cliff, an expanse of pitch-black nothingness, nothing was visible.

Standing on the cliff’s edge, one could only see as far as one’s feet.

A yard further down and it became hazy; nothing could be seen clearly.

Looking down, Qiongyi and Gongling immediately felt a tightening in their chests.

"Leader, it’s too dangerous to go down here!"

"There’s no other path to find," Fu Long wouldn’t have chosen this route if there was any other way.

The cliff was steep and almost invisible; one misstep could lead to a fatal fall.

But, having come this far, to not go down would be to return without accomplishment.

"If I don’t come back after two hours, you two hurry away and look for a way out."

Having said this, Fu Long immediately began descending the precipice.

He had climbed only a short distance down, not even thirty feet, when Fu Long began to feel his breathing becoming slightly labored.

As he continued downward, breathing became even more difficult.

It felt like he could suffocate at any moment.

The scariest part was the dizziness that came with the shortness of breath.

He climbed down a little further, and the dizziness intensified!

Suddenly, Fu Long’s expression darkened, and his palm tightened, ready to draw his sword.

From above, a crisp female voice immediately called down, "Don’t move, it’s me."

A light seemed to shine before Fu Long’s eyes.

For some reason, hearing her voice at this time inexplicably brought him a sense of peace.

He, a man standing over six feet tall, felt safe because of a little girl’s voice.

If he were to tell others, they would probably find it hard to believe.

But truly, his heart inexplicably felt warm.

But the next moment, his heart sank fiercely, "This place is very dangerous, what are you doing here?"

"If you know it’s dangerous, why did you go down alone? Do you have a death wish?"

Chu Qianli, using the power of the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, quickly climbed to his side.

"How about it? Are you moved to see me?"

"Nonsense! You shouldn’t have come here!"

Fu Long truly moved, that feeling of someone fighting alongside you was really wonderful.

But she was just a little girl, and not long before, she was injured while saving him; she really shouldn’t be here taking risks.

"How did you come back? Yazi, he..."

"He wanted to take me away, but I woke up quickly, look how strong I am!"

"Still in the mood for jokes!" However, her playful and smiling demeanor did relax Fu Long’s tensed heart a bit.

He sighed, "All right, since you’re here, stay by my side, and don’t run off again, or else, I won’t be able to protect you."

"No way? Wasn’t it just a short while ago that I was protecting you?" Chu Qianli raised an eyebrow.

Fu Long glared at her.

He suddenly felt so ashamed he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Really... how could she speak like that, without any regard for another person’s self-esteem!

This naughty girl!

"All right, let’s get down to business, follow me."

Chu Qianli swung her wrist, and with the power of the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, quickly climbed to a recessed area.

Fu Long, whose Qinggong was not bad, followed and landed beside her.

"What are we doing here?"

"I’m going to show you a piece of prescient magic."

Qianli took out the drone and the connected phone.

Fu Long was almost scared out of his wits, where on earth did these come from?

He glanced behind her, and without a backpack, where had she hidden such a large object just now?

How had he not noticed it all this time?

"Don’t move, watch my performance."

She placed the drone on the rock and held the remote control.

Soon, the drone took off, startling Fu Long, who immediately stepped closer to her, his arm shielding her face.

"Don’t be afraid, it’s my thing."

"Nonsense, how could I be scared?" Fu Long refused to admit that he had indeed been frightened by this flying object.

It clearly looked like an inanimate object; how could it fly?

"Look."

Chu Qianli opened the screen of the phone, which now had enough battery to allow the drone to fly to the bottom of the cliff.

The drone, equipped with a night-vision camera, quickly made the environment around the cliff clear.

There really was a Medicine Man Corps at the bottom of the cliff!

Fu Long and Chu Qianli exchanged glances, and seeing this dense crowd of Medicine Men, their hearts were instantly gripped with tension.

Fu Long’s eyes were sharp, and he quickly spotted a figure standing in front of the Medicine Men.

"Who is he?"

Why did he seem familiar?
