Chang An stood on the stone wall, with his hands behind his back, staring deeply into the abyss in front of him.
Behind him, the experts from the villa quickly arrived. They saw Chang An standing alone on the stone wall, and saw the corpse on the ground and two deep holes in the stone wall, with ugly expressions.
"Master Chang, this is..."
A middle-aged man in the lead asked, pointing to the body on the ground and the head not far away.
Chang An slowly turned his head and looked down at them.
"The Assassin on the Twelfth Floor."
man shocked
"What? Why is there an assassin from the twelfth floor here?"
Chang An pointed to the cliff outside the stone wall and said
"Two more jumped from here."
The man's expression changed even more. He quickly turned his head and said to the person behind him.
"Quick, ask the owner to come over!"
Chang An looked at the man's uneasy expression and felt that something was fishy.
"What's under this cliff?"
The man looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and said
"Master Chang, there is a forbidden area under the cliff, so we should wait until the owner of the village comes."
Chang An frowned slightly. Since it was a forbidden area, how could the people on the twelfth floor know?
After a while, two figures, one behind the other, rushed towards this side quickly.
"Master of the big village, master of the third village."
When everyone saw Chu Yuchao and Chu Yulou coming, they all saluted.
Chu Yuchao nodded slightly and looked at Chang An who was standing on the stone wall.
The gray robe on his body fluttered slightly, and the wall of inner strength flowed faintly outside him, and he swung out the long sword in his hand.
"boom!"
It was inserted straight into the stone wall, and then he jumped up and onto the sword body. The sword body was pressed downwards and bent continuously, until it was bent to the limit. His feet left the sword body and he jumped high again. He got up and jumped onto the stone wall.
"Chang Family Master's traceless light skill of stepping on the snow is really unparalleled in the world."
Chu Yuchao couldn't help but admired when he looked at Chang An who was calm and composed.
"Master Chu, thank you very much. Although Tuxue Wuhen is great, as far as I know, there are several building masters on the twelfth floor alone who are no less skilled than me."
Chang An suddenly recalled the host of the Twelfth Floor and Chu Muhe whom he met in Liangzhou. The light skills of these two people were not inferior to his.
Down below, the sound of stepping on the wall alarmed Chang An and Chu Yuchao, but they saw that Chu Yulou, who was only nine years old, stepped on the hole left in the stone wall, jumped up a few times, and even jumped up to this height. High stone wall.
Chang An's eyes showed surprise
"The master of the third village's Qinggong is actually so outstanding."
Chu Yulou stood on the stone wall and looked at Chang An proudly.
"If I hadn't been born a few years later, you might not have had the title of the best in the world."
Chang An smiled and did not argue with him.
Chu Yuchao beside him glanced at him lightly.
"Third brother, don't mess around."
Chu Yulou lowered his head and murmured to himself
"That's what it is."
Chu Yuchao looked at Chang An and asked
"Master Chang, what happened just now."
Chang An then told the story in full about the attack on him by the assassin on the twelfth floor.
Chu Yuchao on the side looked solemn.
"It seems like the people on the twelfth floor are already lurking in the villa."
But I heard Chu Yulou on the other side say angrily
"It's so late, Chang An, what are you doing here?"
Chang An explained
"I was curious why the Chu Family Villa was built on the edge of a cliff, so I came over to take a look."
Chu Yulou continues to make things difficult
"That's not right. With Master Chang's martial arts, how could those two assassins escape from your hands?"
Chang On Road
"I did intend to let those two people leave. I wanted to follow them and find their lair, but I didn't expect that those two people jumped directly into the abyss."
He looked at Chu Yuchao again
"Master of the village, I heard from people in the village that this is the forbidden area of the Chu family. I don't know what is under the cliff."
Chu Yuchao looked ugly and stared at the bottom of the cliff.
"It seems that the Twelfth Floor has been eyeing this place for a long time."
As he said that, Chang An felt internal energy flowing around him, and saw that Chu Yuchao was about to jump off the cliff, but at this moment, Chu Yulou held him back.
"Brother, you can't."
Chu Yulou looked solemn
"You have forgotten that no one from the Chu family has ever come up alive."
When Chang An heard this, he became interested.
"So, someone did go down there."
Chu Yuchao nodded
"Master Chang, don't say it's you. Our Chu family has lived in this villa for generations, so we will naturally be curious about this cliff. It's a pity that every generation of Chu family's masters have gone down there, but no one can come back alive, and I don’t say what is under the abyss, but it is unfathomable under this cliff. Who in the world can have this skill and be able to come and go freely?"
Chang An nodded. In his opinion, the two assassins on the twelfth floor would definitely die if they jumped off the cliff. However, the way he looked at those two people clearly did not look like someone seeking death.
"Master Chang, it's late at night. Let's go back first. This matter must be discussed in the long run. There is no use in rushing."
Chu Yuchao looked at the sky and said to Chang An.
Chang An's face was solemn, he took a deep breath, and unexpectedly jumped off the cliff while everyone was unprepared!
"Master Chang!"
Chu Yuchao shouted hurriedly.
But Chu Yuchao's shouts became smaller and smaller in his ears, and soon he disappeared from the sight of Chu Yuchao and Chu Yulou.
His falling speed was getting faster and faster, and the terrifying feeling of weightlessness made him feel like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
On the cliff, his face was constantly deformed by the strong wind. He tried to grab something, but there was nothing around him. He couldn't grab anything. He was still falling.
Am I going to die?
He smiled bitterly, did the two assassins really just want to die because they didn't want to be captured alive by him?
At this moment, he actually began to doubt himself.
After an unknown amount of time, he began to gradually adapt to this feeling of weightlessness. His brain became calmer and calmer. He slowly looked down and found that although he had been falling for a long time, there was still no bottom below.
He looked around again, and saw nothing except the steep cliffs on both sides and the occasional vegetation and trees that could be seen on the cliffs.
What's more important is that he is falling so fast now that even if there is something on the cliff, he probably can't see it.
He suddenly remembered that he still held the sword in his hand. He looked at the sword in his hand and thought, it would be nice if he could rest for a while.
Then, his eyes lit up, he untied his belt and tied it on the hilt of his sword. Then he stimulated his inner strength and shot the long sword towards the cliff, but the belt was still not enough, and the long sword only rubbed slightly. I checked the cliff but failed to insert it into the stone wall.
Chang An tore open his sleeve again and tied it. Then, he pushed the long sword straight out with the force of his palm, only to see the long sword draw a straight line in the darkness and insert it straight into the stone wall. .
Chang An's hand grabbed the other end, and his whole body was pulled in mid-air by the sword.
"boom!"
He slammed his whole body against the stone wall, making his face look gray and disgraced.
"Ahem!"
He coughed twice, wiped the ashes from his eyes, and smiled bitterly.
He slowly opened his eyes and grabbed the stone wall with his other hand.
He looked around the stone wall. It was all bare. At this point, not even the vegetation could be seen. Chang An took a short rest and prepared to continue downward. He grabbed the stone wall and prepared to push himself away.
But at this moment, he felt his hand touch a small hole. He looked carefully and saw three small holes that seemed to be formed by the insertion of some claws. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized, no wonder those two One person carried a hook lock with him, and it seemed that they used this hook lock to get down to the bottom of the cliff safely.
He thought for a while and looked up. At this moment, the Chu Family Villa on the cliff was still invisible. He didn't even know how deep he had fallen.
This method is not unusual. The ancestors of the Chu family probably used a similar method to get to the bottom of the cliff, but it is really difficult to go up to the sky.
Chang An smiled bitterly. At this point, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and continue downwards.
With a little force on his hand, he immediately pulled out the sword inserted into the stone wall. With the force of the stone wall pushing back, his body left the stone wall again and continued to fall downwards.
On the way, he used similar methods to return to the cliff several times to rest.
After about another quarter of an hour, he finally saw that there was no longer darkness below, but a faint reflection. He was overjoyed and knew that he was about to reach the bottom of the cliff.
After another rest, he officially headed towards the bottom of the cliff.
The scenery at the bottom of the cliff gradually became clear before his eyes.
It was a pool of water.
With a "pop" sound, he fell into the pool. Because he fell from a height, his whole body sank to a depth of about one foot under the water before slowly starting to float upward.
He emerged from the water, shook his head vigorously, and climbed to the shore. As if he had collapsed, he lay on his back on the shore, breathing heavily.
After a while, he sat up and carefully observed the situation around him.
He was surprised to find that there was a faint light at the bottom of the cliff. He stood up slowly and found that the bottom of the cliff was very wide. It was a huge open space. On the open space, dozens of weathered skeletons were placed messily. throughout.
Chang An's eyes froze, and he saw that the faces of those skeletons became extremely ugly. He had seen a lot of skeletons, but he had never seen so many headless skeletons!
He carefully inspected each skeleton, and unexpectedly discovered that each skeleton had its head decapitated.
Moreover, the incisions on each body are extremely smooth and the techniques are similar, making it difficult not to think that they were made by the same person.
"These people seem to be the ancestors of the Chu family. Unfortunately, they all died here."
Chang An said to himself.
Chang An's eyes were attracted by a series of footprints next to the skeleton. He looked around. It was damp and dark here, and it was easy to leave footprints on the ground. He speculated that these footprints were probably left by the assassins on the twelfth floor.
So, he began to move forward along the direction of the footprints. Along the way, he discovered several more skullless skeletons. The bottom of the cliff was very wide. He walked for a while, but still had not walked out of the open space.
After another half-quarter of an hour, he finally saw a deep hole ahead.
As I walked slowly to the edge of the cave, I heard someone talking at the other end of the cave.
"Then Chang An is really good at martial arts. I heard that the three posters joined forces and asked him to kill one of them. He even forced the two posters to jump down."
"Yes, it's just that now that the two building owners have come down, they can't go back. They are considered dead."
"At the bottom of this cliff, we are all people who are not used in the building. Now, let the two building owners who are above us feel abandoned."
As they spoke, the footsteps of the two of them got closer and closer to Chang An.
There was a hint of coldness in Chang An's eyes, and the sword in his hand made a clanging sound.
"you!"
Before the two could speak, one of them had been stabbed to death by Chang An's sword, while the other was horrified to find that the bloody sword was on his neck.
"If you don't want to die, don't make a sound."
Chang An said coldly.
…………
Liangzhou City, City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord! City Lord!"
Zhao Qingming and Zhao Xuanyuan were admiring flowers in the backyard when they heard hurried shouting outside the courtyard.
Zhao Qingming looked unhappy and said
"What are you so worried about?"
Outside the courtyard, the housekeeper hurried in.
"City Lord, Miss, Coach Fu's body is missing!"
"What!"
Zhao slowly rose up after taking the case
"Why did you lose it again?"
Guanjia Road
"Not only Coach Fu, Coach Chu, but also those Jianghu people who died at the gate of the city are all gone!"
Zhao Qingming looked gloomy
"How is this possible? Who would steal a dead body?"
Zhao Xuanyuan suddenly felt a little nervous, and an unknown premonition arose spontaneously. She hurriedly said to the housekeeper
"Butler, hurry up and send a message to Master Chang!"
the butler asked
"Send it to where?"
Zhao slowly frowned and thought for a long time.
"He went to the north, probably because of Miss Chu's affairs. He went to the Chu Family Villa and sent it to the Black Coffin Forest."
