After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 749 (Twelve)
Meng Qianqian shook her head secretly.

"Go up the mountain."

Lu Yuan said.

Meng Qianqian nodded.

"On another note, I also want to know the answer to the question Ji Li asked."

She told the truth.

She was genuinely curious.

In fact, as early as when Yun Xiyao brought only her into the forbidden area too quickly, she had a vague feeling that Lu Yuan and Yun Xiyao's reactions were too compliant and calm.

"Did you already tell Master about this?"

"Ah."

Lu Yuan did not deny it, and took her hand to walk upstairs, "She can take you in, I have my own way to meet up with you."

Ji Li and Chen Long led the way.

The snake (巳) is cut off afterward.

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "So you already knew you couldn't get in, then why did you—"

Lu Yuan's lips curled slightly: "If she had only taken you to the back mountain from the beginning, you would have been the one stopped. But if all of us went, we would have been the ones stopped. We have to let them trip us up a bit and make things difficult for your master before we feel at peace."

Meng Qianqian: "As expected of you."

When it comes to scheming against people's hearts, no one can outwit him.

"Honestly, do you still have some cards up your sleeve that you haven't revealed yet?"

Since arriving on the island, this guy has become increasingly adept at handling things.

Lu Yuan: "Guess."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

"When you passed through Gufeng Town, did you encounter any dogs?"

Chenlong asked Ji Li.

Ji Li snorted, "Whenever that dog sees me, does he ever not run far away? If he dares to come out, I'll be the first to not let him off!"

"Brother Rooster, is your rebellion this powerful?"

Tan'er's eyes sparkled.

Ji Li: "That's right!"

Dragon: "Dog is annoyed by your nagging, isn't it?"

Ji Li snapped, "Will you die if you don't talk?!"

After walking for a while, the group approached the summit.

Xiaoyun Peak has a main peak and a side peak, which are connected by only a suspension bridge.

Everyone thought the saintess had landed on the main peak, but when they reached the top, they found there was nothing there.

The crowd then surged toward the side peak.

They fought fiercely over control of the suspension bridge.

"Want to go there?"

Meng Lang asked.

Everyone gave him a look that said, "Is this even a question?"

Meng Lang's lips twitched.

What kind of audacious madmen are they?
He wondered about the battle plan, but his good master, Chenlong, had already gone out to fight.

No one can withstand the heavy sword.

"Take him down first—ah—"

Just as he was about to gather everyone to kill one of Chenlong's experts, he was kicked off the cliff by Chenlong before he could finish speaking.

Chenlong's attack was so fierce that it momentarily stunned the fighting crowd.

Gradually, no one dared to provoke Chenlong anymore, and they spontaneously made way for him.

However, just as Chenlong was about to step onto the suspension bridge, a blade of energy slashed across the sky.

Chen Long's eyes turned cold. He grabbed Yu Zichuan from the side and slashed back with his sword.

Two terrifying sword energies collided in mid-air, and no expert within ten steps was spared; they were all blasted away.

"you again."

Chenlong put Yu Zichuan down. "You guys go ahead first."

"Oh."

Yu Zichuan walked onto the suspension bridge without looking back.

Did I agree?

Mo Yi said in a cold voice.

Yu Zichuan ignored him and kept walking forward.

"Let's go too."

Lu Yuan said to Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian nodded.

Yun Xiyao glanced back at Chen Long, then at Mo Yi, but ultimately said nothing.

Tan'er waved her hand: "Brother Chenlong, we're off first!"

Chenlong grunted in agreement and drew his sword to block the rope bridge. One man can hold off ten thousand!

Not long after Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan's group crossed the suspension bridge, Ayimulan and Shan Cheng also arrived.

The high priest accompanied the two.

Meng Qianqian stopped and turned to look at the High Priest from afar.

Eyes facing each other.

Meng Qianqian felt as if she were being stared at from the abyss.

Lu Yuan gently pulled Meng Qianqian into his arms, holding the back of her head with one hand to prevent her from looking directly at the High Priest.

Meng Qianqian withdrew her gaze.

"High Priest, have you discovered anything?"

Aymulan asked.

High Priest: "There is a familiar aura about her."

Aymuran: "Could she also be connected to the Temple?"

The high priest then looked at the bouncy Tan'er: "Not just her, that little girl too."

Aymuran gave the high priest a deep look: "The two girls are yours, I only want the saintess."

Xiaoyunfeng has a unique terrain; in addition to crossing a suspension bridge, one must also climb a steep cliff by hand.

When Meng Qianqian and her group arrived at the halfway point of the mountain, they found that some people had already gone up.

The snake said, "Those two people look somewhat familiar."

Meng Qianqian said, "It's Master Sheng and Tuoba Ye."

The two had changed their clothes, but because Meng Qianqian and Nalan Xue were treating her illness, they had met several times, so they could still recognize each other at a glance.

"I didn't expect them to act so quickly."

She sighed, "Let's go up too."

"I don't have the tools, so it's hard to climb. You guys wait for me here."

He planned to go back to the other side of the suspension bridge to rob someone.

Before he could turn around, an axe flew through the air. He caught it with his backhand and stared sharply at the person who had attacked him.

"I told you it was you!"

The visitors were none other than Da Niu and A Wu, who had received Meng Qianqian's kindness in the desert.

Awu looked closely and exclaimed, "It really is my benefactor and his group!"

The snake looked at the axe in its hand and suppressed its murderous intent.

The two men were carrying various climbing tools, which were clearly stolen from different people.

While others were engaged in fierce battles, the two of them quietly followed behind, picking up the scraps. How could that not be considered clever?
Da Niu generously distributed the tools to Meng Qianqian and her group.

Meng Qianqian asked, "You...don't want to go find the Holy Maiden?"

Da Niu scratched his head and laughed: "We're just here to see the rare phenomenon of the seven stars aligning. We have no right to interfere in the matter of the Holy Maiden."

He didn't seem to be lying.

Meng Qianqian nodded slightly.

Finally, he handed two long ropes to Lu Yuan.

"Thank you."

Lu Yuan thanked her and said to Meng Qianqian, "Ji Li and I will go up first."

The snake said, "Ji Li and I will go up."

"also."

Lu Yuan gave him the rope.

Ji Li and Si She led the way, followed closely by Meng Lang, Tan'er, and Yu Zichuan.

Da Niu and A Wu originally came to join in the fun, but they couldn't resist their curiosity and rolled up their sleeves to climb up as well.

About 15 minutes later, a rope was thrown down from the top of the mountain.

"You can come up now—"

It was Meng Lang's voice.

Lu Yuan tugged at the rope; it was fairly sturdy.

He looked at Meng Qianqian and Yun Xiyao.

Yun Xiyao said calmly, "You guys go up first."

Lu Yuan followed her gaze and looked over.

The high priest has arrived.

"Master, be careful."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he grabbed the rope with one hand and put his arm around Meng Qianqian with the other, giving Meng Lang a secret signal.

Meng Lang and Yu Zichuan pulled the ropes, dragging the two of them to the top of the mountain.

"It's just the two of you, where are the others?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Meng Lang pointed east: "Over there."

Lu Yuan untied the rope and led Meng Qianqian eastward.
