Chapter 299 Attack
Ye Luo was terrified, and subconsciously reached out to grab it, but Ji Liuyun fell too fast, and in the blink of an eye, his figure was engulfed by the boundless darkness under the cliff.

"Brother Liuyun!" Ye Luo shouted, but the only answer was a faint echo from the bottom of the cliff.

Ye Luo's mind went blank, and she stared blankly at the place where Ji Liuyun disappeared for a moment, then suddenly her eyes narrowed, and she jumped down!

The sound of the wind whizzed past his ears.

She fell vertically like a bird with broken wings. The temperature at the bottom of the cliff was so low that Ye Luo felt that her whole body was about to freeze.

However, at this time, she woke up instead, biting her lower lip desperately, trying not to let herself cry.

She didn't think much just now, and subconsciously jumped down.

Now that he regained his composure, he didn't feel any regrets in his heart, but a bit of desolate despair.

Brother Liuyun was already injured, but just now he blocked another arrow for her, falling from such a high cliff, his life may be in danger.

However, even so, she couldn't let Brother Liuyun be alone.

Taking a deep breath, he swallowed the tears welling up in his eyes.Use your internal strength, try to slow down the speed of your body's descent, and look around with your eyes wide open.

She knew that although Ji Liuyun was hit by an arrow, he was still conscious when he fell off the cliff, and he would definitely not give up like this, and would try to slow down the speed of his descent as much as he did. If she looked carefully, she might be able to find Ji Liuyun.

It's just that the fight just now took a lot of energy, and after a while, I couldn't do what I wanted.

Fortunately, Taihang Mountain has sufficient rainfall and lush forests on the mountain. Even on the steep cliffs, many low trees grow.

She spotted a dwarf pine, jumped over it, stopped on the tree, looked around, but still didn't see Ji Liuyun's figure, felt a little desperate in her heart, put her hands around her mouth, and shouted to the bottom He said, "Brother Liuyun!"

But the answer to her was still only a faint echo.

The emotion in Ye Luo's eyes became cold and snowy, and a teardrop rolled down involuntarily from the corner of his eye.

She was at a loss in her heart, and looked around, only to see endless darkness everywhere, as dark as a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, which made people shiver uncontrollably.

The night wind blew past, and the sleeves were cold.

Ye Luo tightened her clothes, and despair surged in her heart.Could it be... Brother Liuyun really had an accident?

In a daze, the branch at the bottom of her feet suddenly broke with a "click". She was unprepared and fell straight down.

Half an hour ago, on Falling Shadow Peak.

Three bells rang, and the entire Wuhen Palace immediately entered a state of alert.

At every entrance to the mountain stood heavily armed killers, not daring to take it lightly, the darkness was overwhelming, and the torches in their hands illuminated the entire Falling Shadow Peak as if it were daytime.

The northwest corner of Wuhen Palace.

This is one of the entrances to the mountain, but the mountain road up the mountain is steep and there is a swampy forest at the foot of the mountain. Few people will know this entrance, so there are fewer people guarding the entrance than other places.

Even so, there are still a dozen killers with swords guarding here.

There is a high observation platform at the entrance, and there are two people standing on the platform, with sharp eyes, staring at the steep mountain road below without blinking, not daring to be distracted at all.

However, the night is getting darker, the stars are dim, and even the moon is hiding in the stratus clouds.Although the torches in their hands were bright, they could only see a small distance, and further down, they could only see darkness.

At this time, a faint mist suddenly floated upwards.

On the mountain at night, it is easy to get foggy, so at the beginning, the people on duty didn't take it to heart.

When the mist floated in front of them, someone finally noticed something was wrong.

Because, the fog seems to be a little too strange, looking around, there is no fog, only this cloud of fog quietly floated in front of them, as if... as if it was controlled by humans.

"Everyone back up." The person who reacted first yelled loudly, and made a back gesture to everyone.

However, at this time the wind picked up.They happened to be standing at the downwind, and the mist was quickly blown away, floating around, surrounding them, and penetrating into the nostrils everywhere.

The mist, with a bit of water vapor, is colorless and odorless, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Someone frowned, and just about to speak, suddenly a strange color appeared on his face, his hands pinched his throat, and he made a sound of "uh-uh-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The people around noticed his strangeness, and just about to come over to check the situation, they also suddenly felt a cramping pain in their abdomen, and with a "plop", they half-kneeled on the ground, their faces full of pain.

But after a while, the guards at the entrance fell to the ground one after another, all looking extremely distressed.

At this time, the fog gradually dissipated, and suddenly there was the sound of orderly footsteps in the air, as if they had arrived in front of them in an instant.

Some of the people who fell on the ground were still conscious. They struggled to raise their heads and looked forward. Suddenly, many masked men in black broke through the fog and rushed over like a tide.

The people in the Wuhen Palace were shocked. Although they didn't know who the black-clothed men who appeared suddenly were, they seemed to be prepared. Some people struggled to take out the signal flare from their arms, and just reached into the lapel of their clothes. , suddenly heard the sound of a sword piercing flesh and blood, and there was a pain in his chest. When he looked down, a sharp sword had already been inserted into his chest.

The sword pierced straight into his heart, and before he could even struggle, he tilted his head and died.

The faces of the other people who were still lingering on the ground showed panic, but before they could react, the man in black walked in front of them like a ghost, raised his sword and dropped it, and only heard a few muffled groans. Everyone was killed with a clean sword, leaving no one alive.

After confirming that there were no more fish slipping through the net, the men in black separated to the two sides, and a man walked out from behind the crowd, dressed in a dark black brocade robe, with cold eyes, coming under the cold moonlight, it was Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan glanced at the dead guards on the ground, and looked at Xuanying beside him, "The troops are divided into three groups, one of which will be led by you, to find Zishu and Luoluo, to clear away the obstacles of the Wuhen Palace, and to follow the other path." Let me go to find Li Xu together."

Xuan Ying clasped her fists together, and said a few words to the shadowy guards behind her. With one order, the hidden guards were separated into three teams, and they left in an orderly manner after training.

Shen Chuhan waved back, and according to the information he got in advance, he walked quickly to Li Xu's yard.

But he said Xuanying's team.

The original plan was to wait for Yin Shisan to rescue Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo before they went up the mountain to attack.However, they waited until the third quarter of the ugly hour according to the original plan, and they still didn't see Yin Shisan and the others. Shen Chuhan knew that they might encounter some obstacles and they wouldn't be able to go down the mountain for a while, so he led the troops to attack the mountain.

The white mist just now was mixed with the colorless and odorless poison that Ye Wen prepared, once inhaled, he would die immediately.They and Yinwei took the antidote in advance, so they were not affected.

After separating from Shen Chuhan, Xuanying followed the map of Wuhen Palace given to them by Yin Shisan, and led the hidden guards to the dark prison where Ye Luo and Ji Liuyun were imprisoned.

There will be chaos on the mountain, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find Yin Shisan for a while, so I went to the prison to see the situation first.

Naturally, there were many people from Wuhen Palace who were patrolling on the road, but Xuanying and the others had already prepared themselves, and the hidden guards brought up the mountain this time were all elites with one enemy against ten, so they easily eliminated several groups of people.

Halfway through, a hidden guard behind him suddenly said, "Pavilion Master, look—"

Xuan Ying followed his gaze to the sky, but saw an orange-red signal flare rising in the southwest corner of the sky not far away, drawing a dazzling arc in the sky, and quickly disappeared into the dark night. middle.

Xuanying's expression froze.

This signal flare is hidden thirteen.

He glanced at the direction of the flare, and then carefully looked at the map in his hand, with suspicion in his eyes.

If the map is not marked incorrectly, the place where the signal flare rises should be a cliff.How could Yin Thirteen appear there?

Although he was suspicious in his heart, everyone saw the signal flare just now, so it was clearly Yin Shisan's fault.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly made up his mind, looked at the hidden guard behind him, pointed to the two men, and asked them to quietly go to the dark prison to check the situation.Then he glanced at the rest of the people and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!" As he said, he walked quickly in the direction where the signal flare rose.

The further you go, the more biased your position will be. Even so, you will encounter two groups of people from Wuhen Palace along the way, and it will be another round of fighting with weapons before they will all be wiped out.

After passing through the woods, we came to the edge of the cliff where the signal flare was fired just now, but unexpectedly, there was no shadow of Yin Shisan or Ji Liuyun and Yeluo, only a lot of Wuhen Palace killers laying on the ground. corpse.It looked like there had been a fierce fight here.

Xuanying couldn't help frowning, and ordered the hidden guards to spread out and check.

He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

I saw a fog lingering below, and I couldn't see anything clearly, only the cold wind blew up, making people feel a bit chilly in vain.

Sweeping his eyes around, he suddenly froze on the edge of the cliff.

Just about to squat down to take a closer look, the person who had just been sent to check the situation came back, "Pavilion Master, I didn't find Shisan and Miss Ji Ziye and the others."

Xuanying waved his hand, signaling that he knew, then squatted down on the edge of the cliff, stretched out his hand, and ordered in a cold voice, "torches."

The hidden guard handed over the torch in his hand.

Xuan Ying took it, leaned over slightly, and under the light of the torch, his eyes were firmly fixed on the edge of the cliff, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes were somewhat cold.

The hidden guard beside him saw that his expression was different, so he also bent over and looked at the place where his eyes were fixed.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but lose color, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

On the edge of the cliff in front of Xuanying, there was a shallow footprint, and there were traces going down, as if...someone stumbled and fell down here.

Xuan Ying also thought of this possibility, and her face became even more gloomy.

The sand beside the cliff is very loose, and the wind is also strong. If such a shallow footprint was left in the past, it will soon be blown by the wind, but it is still here. It can only show that this footprint is It was left not long ago.

He held up the torch and stood up, his heart beating a little fast, secretly praying that the footprints were left by the fallen people from the Wuhen Palace.

However, at this moment, there is no evidence to prove his conjecture, so he is inevitably a little anxious.

At this moment, he suddenly heard movement from the mouth of the forest. He turned around and saw a figure coming out of the forest and was being intercepted by the hidden guards. Just as he was about to fight, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, "it's me!"

Xuanying's expression froze, and he walked up quickly.

Sure enough, the person standing in the firelight was Yin Shisan who had been missing all this time.

Seeing him alone, Xuan Ying's heart sank suddenly, and she hurriedly asked, "Thirteen, where are Miss Ye and Young Master Ji?"

Yin Shisan's eyes showed worry and surprise, and he glanced behind him, "Aren't Miss Ye and Young Master Ji here?"

Xuanying looked cold, "What do you mean?"

"Half an hour ago, my subordinate rescued Miss Ye and Young Master Ji from the dark prison, but Li Xu reacted too quickly and firmly guarded the exit down the mountain, so my subordinate brought Young Master Ji and Young Master Ye here to avoid it for a while. When the subordinates went out to check the situation just now, they were discovered by someone, and they managed to get away. On the way to rush over, they saw a signal flare rising here, and they did not expect to see the pavilion master and other brothers as soon as they got out of the forest." Speaking of this, Yin Yin Thirteen's voice became more and more worried.

Xuanying looked a bit ugly, "You gave them the signal?"

Yin Shisan nodded, "The subordinates told them that in case of any emergency, they should light the signal flare, and if the hidden guards in the secret pavilion saw it, they would rush over to rescue them. But..." He frowned, "Ye Why are the girl and Young Master Ji not here?"

Xuan Ying took a deep breath, walked to the edge of the cliff again and looked down, the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.

Could it be... Master Ji and Miss Ye fell off a cliff?
