The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

Although the voice was eerie and mournful, it seemed to explode right next to your ear, clearly indicating that the other party possessed profound internal strength.

Wang Jiuling had already guessed who this person was.

Qiu Qianchi.

He had been wondering why he hadn't run into Qiu Qianchi, but he hadn't expected her to be hiding in the shadows.

A half-dried, naked figure, wrapped in leaves and bark, crawled out of the darkness.

Upon seeing this person's appearance, Gongsun Lü'e was so frightened that she hid behind Wang Jiuling.

Qiu Qianchi had a haggard appearance, her skin was dry like tree bark, and her head was bald, with almost all her hair gone.

She crawled on the ground, moving at an extremely fast speed toward Wang Jiuling and his companion.

Gongsun Lü'e was so frightened that she stepped back. Although Wang Jiuling knew it was Qiu Qianchi, he still frowned and blocked her way.

Qiu Qianchi ignored Wang Jiuling and instead looked at Gongsun Lü'e behind him.

"Your surname is Gongsun? I just heard him call you Miss Gongsun?"

She looked up and stared at Gongsun Lü'e.

Once Wang Jiuling confirmed that she meant no harm, he went along with it and, just like in the original story, allowed the mother and daughter to recognize each other.

"Mother! It really is you!"

"How...how could you have become like this?" Gongsun Lü'e looked at her birth mother and couldn't stop the tears from falling.

The mere mention of this filled Qiu Qianchi with boundless hatred.

After so many years, she was finally able to speak out about her grievances in front of others.

Besides, the person in front of her is her daughter.

"That Gongsun Zhi! I will grind him to dust!" Qiu Qianchi roared to the sky, his expression distorted by hatred.

Upon hearing Qiu Qianchi's words, Gongsun Lü'e could hardly believe it.

Gongsun Zhi had been lying to her that her mother had died in childbirth, but she never expected it to be like this.

"By the way, E'er! How did you find this place?"

Looking at the Taoist robe on Gongsun Lü'e's body, Qiu Qianchi vaguely guessed what was going on.

Gongsun Lü'e was too heartbroken to speak, so Wang Jiuling spoke up and recounted the whole story.

Qiu Qianchi was so angry that she trembled all over.

"Heartless! Absolutely heartless!!"

"brute!!"

At this moment, Gongsun Lü'e felt heartbroken looking at her birth mother's crippled limbs.

After the two finished their tearful account, Qiu Qianchi looked up at the cave entrance above her head.

"Over the years, I've been unable to walk properly, so I've been guarding this road all day, but all I can do is watch!"

"Heaven has truly spared me! I have a chance to leave and go back for revenge! Hahahaha!"

She turned to look at Wang Jiuling.

"No matter how exquisite your light-footed skill was, or how profound your internal strength was, you couldn't have performed that on this sloping cliff face!"

Seeing that Wang Jiuling was highly skilled in martial arts, Qiu Qianchi knew that she and her daughter could only rely on him if they wanted to get out.

She wanted to take the initiative so that Wang Jiuling would also owe her a favor, as a form of insurance.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jiuling spoke up as soon as she finished speaking.

"No, I have already thought of a solution. Senior, please just wait here."

Qiu Qianchi was taken aback and narrowed her eyes.

"Hey kid! Don't brag, watch out or you'll fall!"

Even after all these years, Qiu Qianchi's mouth is still incredibly sharp.

Wang Jiuling ignored her.

He did come up with a solution.

Although the cliff face is tilted, the actual tilt is not that great.

He had already observed everything while Gongsun Lü'e and Qiu Qianchi were crying and complaining.

The hardest part is getting halfway up, when you can't get any leverage from above.

At that moment, he had a solution.

"Master! Be careful!"

Seeing Wang Jiuling's eagerness to try, Gongsun Lü'e was also worried that he would fall. Qiu Qianchi looked at her daughter and then at Wang Jiuling, her eyes full of vigilance.

At this moment, Wang Jiuling had already made his move.

It was still the same light-footed skill used to ascend the Heavenly Ladder, but this time, Wang Jiuling changed his route.

The two people below looked up and watched as Wang Jiuling's feet kept stepping on the cliff face, and in the blink of an eye, he was back at the halfway point.

At this moment, the old forces have gone, and the new forces have not yet arisen.

Wang Jiuling remained calm. He drew his longsword, channeled his inner energy to force it out, and steadily pierced the cliff face.

Then Wang Jiuling floated down.

Looking further up, a long sword was stuck horizontally in the center of the cliff.

"Miss Gongsun, please wait for me!"

After speaking, Wang Jiuling channeled his inner energy again. His true qi erupted, and with a powerful push from his feet, he leaped into the air and reached the middle of the cliff face in just a few steps.

The difference this time was that Wang Jiuling was facing his long sword.

Wang Jiuling grabbed the sword hilt, but his body did not fall as before.

With a forceful pull, Wang Jiuling leaped more than two meters upwards, drawing his longsword in the process.

At that moment, his foot landed on a protruding rock.

Its body once again skimmed along the wall to the side and upwards.

Soon, his foot landed on the protrusion above and to the side. In just a few steps, he leaped out of the hole above like a roc.

This exquisite skill in climbing the ladder to heaven left Gongsun Lü'e below utterly astonished.

Qiu Qianchi, who was standing to the side, was also extremely surprised.

"Good lad... such light-footed skill!"

At this moment, Gongsun Lü'e recalled the first time she met Wang Jiuling, and told Qiu Qianchi that in order to chase after Li Mochou, he actually went down from a hundred-foot cliff to the Valley of Heartbreak.

"Master Wang is truly a young hero." Gongsun Lü'e touched the Taoist robe she was wearing.

Qiu Qianchi snorted coldly.

"E'er, you haven't taken a fancy to this boy, have you?"

Gongsun Lü'e blushed at Qiu Qianchi's words, but then remembered the purse and quickly shook her head.

At this moment, Qiu Qianchi suddenly shouted.

"Oh dear! I was so focused on you that I forgot the boy went up there by himself. What are we going to do now?"

Gongsun Lü'e quickly shook her head.

"Mother! Master Wang will come back to save us. He just told us to wait!"

Qiu Qianchi, however, was disappointed in him.

"Oh dear! E'er!"

"There isn't a single good man in this world! How do you know he's not just a hypocrite like your beastly father?!"

"He's been up there for so long, but there's been no movement at all!"

"You're too trusting! I made the mistake of trusting Gongsun Zhi back then!"

Qiu Qianchi had lost the initiative and was terrified.
