Their journey up the mountain was uneventful.
I saw the Tianshan Child Elder put her white and tender fingers to her mouth and blew a loud whistle.
Soon, several eagles flew from Piaomiao Peak and circled around the heads of the three people.
Then, someone on Piaomiao Peak immediately discovered this, and then a group of women in colorful clothes came down from the peak.
When they saw the Tianshan Child Elder, they all knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Honored Lord, my guards arrived late. Your crime deserves death."
Tianshan Child Elder snorted and said sternly: "Do you think I am dead? Have you not noticed that I am not here for so long?"
All the women bowed their heads to apologize and did not dare to refute.
In fact, this was also because the Tianshan Child Elder deliberately spread the news that she had gone down the mountain to collect medicine in order to confuse Li Qiushui. Unexpectedly, this inadvertently delayed her own rescue.
Therefore, they can't be blamed.
However, the Tianshan Child Elder did suffer a lot and suffered a lot when she was kidnapped from the mountain this time. He couldn't get angry at Zhao Mingyuan and the others, so he could only vent his anger on them.
However, after all, they were all her subordinates. Child Elder scolded them a few times and looked at their pale faces and unwillingness to resist. Child Elder herself felt bored, so she said: "Okay, let's go up the mountain!"
After a pause, Child Elder pointed at Zhao Mingyuan and his wife and said, "They are distinguished guests of Lingjiu Palace, so please treat them well, so don't neglect them."
Immediately, a middle-aged woman turned around and knelt down in front of Child Elder. She carried Child Elder steadily on her back and walked towards the mountain. There were people guarding her in front, back and left, as if she were guarding a treasure.
Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself, what a great style. But think about it, in the past decades, Tianshan Child Elder's words in this area of the Western Region are probably more effective than the emperor's, so this scene is considered unusual.
Zhao Mingyuan and his wife were indeed treated as distinguished guests, and they were guided and introduced while going up the mountain.
It turns out that there are eighteen natural dangers on Piaomiao Peak. From the foot of the mountain upward, there are Duanhun Cliff, Lost Foot Rock, Baizhang Stream, Jie Tianqiao, etc., all of which are very dangerous places.
The Vulture Palace is divided into nine divisions in the Nine Heavens, each performing its own duties, and every natural hazard is guarded. To attack Piaomiao Peak is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky.
However, Zhao Mingyuan knew that these dangerous places were only for ordinary people. For martial arts masters, although it is considered dangerous, it is not that dangerous.
Otherwise, how could those people from Thirty-six Cave and Seventy-two Islands attack?
Now, they must have seen the scene of Zhao Mingyuan and the other three being welcomed up the mountain by the girls from Lingjiu Palace. You must have guessed that this girl’s identity is extraordinary.
You may not have guessed that it was Tianshan Child Elder, but you already knew that they were exposed. In addition, as long as Zhao Mingyuan didn't go down the mountain to deliver news to them for a while, they would have to attack Piaomiao Peak.
After all, now that they work together and attack Tianshan Tongmao when she may not be at Piaomiao Peak, they still have a certain chance of winning.
Otherwise, they actually have no choice.
Even if he fled to the far reaches of the world and escaped the pursuit and revenge of Lingjiu Palace, the life and death talisman on his body would one day break out. When the time comes, life would be worse than death, so it would be better to fight now.
that's the truth.
Three days later, Zhao Mingyuan and Wang Yuyan were admiring the beautiful view of the sea of clouds at the top of Piaomiao Peak, but they heard an alarm coming from below. It was the people from Thirty-six Cave and Seventy-two Island who came to attack the mountain.
The two of them immediately came to see the Tianshan Child Elder to see if they needed help.
Since they are distinguished guests and are here to escort, the two of them naturally live not far from Tianshan Tonglao, just a few steps away.
Entering the hall, I saw that Tianshan Child Elder had grown up a little, and she already looked about ten years old. The leaders of the Nine Heavens and Nine Tribes of Lingjiu Palace were standing in the hall, waiting for Child Elder to arrange their troops.
Zhao Mingyuan had naturally learned the art of war. From what he heard of Child Elder's arrangement, he just defended according to danger and resisted at all levels. It was a cliché and nothing surprising.
But as for the art of war, sometimes it just needs to be effective, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a surprise victory.
After all, oddity means danger and risk.
Many times, when you have an advantage, following the rules and making no mistakes is victory.
Zhao Mingyuan said that he wanted to see how to fight and was willing to help. When Tianshan Child Elder saw that she had a helper, she was naturally even more happy, so she let him go.
Zhao Mingyuan followed the team of Juntian tribe arranged by Tong Lao and came to the first natural danger of Piaomiao Peak.
As for Wang Yuyan, Zhao Mingyuan naturally found an excuse to leave her on the mountain. There is no need for her to participate in the killing.
When we come to the first natural danger that we must pass when going up the mountain, this place is called Duanhun Cliff.
As the name suggests, everyone can understand that this is an extremely dangerous cliff.
In fact, this is a nearly 90-degree cliff, and steps were later dug out, barely enough for people to climb. The steps are also very narrow and can only accommodate half a foot.
On one side is a cliff, on the other side is a cliff. Even if people in the Vulture Palace go up and down, they still need to use the rope on one side for assistance.
But now, since someone is attacking, the rope has naturally been cut off and removed.
There is no one to rely on, only steep stone steps that can only be passed by one person, with a slope of nearly 90 degrees. There is a bottomless cliff next to you, and the clouds are deep and foggy, which is daunting.
The difficulty of climbing up from here can be imagined, it is really soul-breaking!
Fortunately, this is the world of martial arts, and for those with sufficient cultivation, it is not that difficult to climb up. As long as you overcome your fear, you can do it.
It's just that that was under normal circumstances, but now it's from bottom to top, and the difficulty is several times more difficult.
Zhao Mingyuan also saw an offensive and defensive battle with martial arts characteristics.
There are also many people in Thirty-six Cave and Seventy-two Island. Many of these cave owners and island owners come with their followers or disciples. The total number of manpower is seven to eight hundred, not to mention thousands.
However, the mountain road was narrow, but these seven or eight hundred people formed a long queue, which looked quite spectacular.
It's just that it's spectacular. The only people who can really play a role in attacking the mountain are the hundred or ten people in front.
Naturally, these cave owners and island owners would not rush ahead. This was the first natural danger, and those who rushed up were their disciples, who were used as cannon fodder to rush forward.
Although there are only a few dozen people in the Juntian tribe, there is a well-drilled platform on top of the Soul-Desolating Cliff. From a high position, they take advantage of it. Therefore, it is natural to have an advantage in dealing with their attack at the foot of the mountain.
However, these cave owners and island owners often fought fiercely and quickly figured out a way. He found a few people with deep internal strength, held up a big shield, and rushed upward.
The girls of the Juntian tribe naturally used various hidden weapons to deal with him.
It's just that the big shield was so big that it completely covered everyone without any trace of it being exposed. Even though hidden weapons fell like rain, no one was injured.
Even if the girls hit him with rocks, it would be ineffective.
After all, everyone rushing in front had good internal strength cultivation, and each of them was carrying a big shield, so it was no big deal.
Occasionally, an unlucky guy would be knocked down, but he would fall into the abyss next to him. The screams were continuous and echoed in the mountains, making people's hair stand on end.
However, more people had enough internal strength to allow various objects from above to hit them, but they all used their shields to resist them.
They all have cultivation bases, so naturally they can climb very fast. This section of Soul Broken Cliff was only over a hundred meters long, and they were getting closer and closer.
Zhao Mingyuan thought he needed to take action himself.
Unexpectedly, several women soon worked together to lift a big stone.
The stone weighed more than a thousand kilograms, and several people worked together to lift it. Then, he slammed down the row of large shields below.
With the force of falling, the huge boulder is naturally unstoppable.
If Zhao Mingyuan is down there, maybe he can try to use force-strengthening techniques like the Star Shift or the Great Shift of the Universe to try to deflect it.
However, if you are holding a big shield and cannot see it, you will probably be smashed into pieces.
If Zhao Mingyuan is like this, let alone these ignorant people below?
There was only a sound of collision and breaking, without even a scream. Everyone on the steps was knocked down by the huge boulder. The boulder rolled down the stairs until it fell to a spacious place a hundred meters behind, and then fell. Entered the cliff.
The more than 100 meters of stairs were covered with fragments of flesh and blood, which made people look pale at the sight.
How cruel!
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but be glad that Wang Yuyan was not allowed to come down to watch.
I have seen a lot, but I felt cruel for a moment when I saw this scene. I really didn't know how terrifying the real battlefield is.
No wonder it is often said that recruits are frightened when they go to the battlefield. Zhao Mingyuan can understand if he really sees such a scene.
The people below also stayed for a long time. From above, we could see many of them discussing countermeasures.
Obviously, they also knew that it would not be easy to attack them.
After a while, several more people climbed up holding large shields. It's just that those who crawled tremblingly were extremely slow.
Especially when passing those flesh and blood, they stopped several times. If it weren't for the constant urging and threats from the people below, I'm afraid they might not come up.
Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself that these people were probably forced to come up. If you don't come up, you will die. If you come up, you will probably die a little later.
Naturally, there was no change in the result. Seeing that other methods were ineffective and could not stop their progress.
After a while, another boulder fell, adding another patch of red to the stairs.
But not long after this time, several more people were forced to climb up.
Zhao Mingyuan gradually came back to his senses. It turns out that they are using human lives to consume the huge rocks on the mountain.
Yes, they obviously also found that these huge rocks were excavated in advance, and the guard materials may not be very rich. As long as they are completely consumed, they can attack them.
In fact, Zhao Mingyuan found that there were not many boulders nearby.
Moreover, it is extremely inconvenient to transport it from other places, and it is naturally too late to make temporary excavations.
It seems that all they have to do is use up the boulders above to win.
But is this really the case? Will it really go as they wish?
