By now, they had reached the top of the peak. Cheng Qingshuang had already told the girls that when she descended the peak, the enemy had already attacked the Broken Soul Cliff. 11 of the 18 natural strongholds on Misty Peak had been lost and more than half of the Great Heaven Division girls had died. The situation was extremely dangerous.
Song QingShu saw that there was not a shadow of a single person at the bottom of the peak. Between the pure white snow, there were green grass sprouting. If he had not known in advance, he would not have thought that this piece of tranquility contained an infinite amount of murderous intent. The girls looked worried, worried about the safety of their sisters from Great Heaven Tribe.
Zhu Tian Division leader Shi Sao drew her saber and said loudly, "In the 'Misty Nine Heavens', 8 Heavens Divisions are at the bottom of the peak and only one division is left to defend. The scoundrels have taken advantage of the situation and are extremely shameless. Master, please give the order for everyone to rush up the peak and fight to the death with these scoundrels. "Her expression was very impassioned.
But Granny Yu said, "Sister Shi, don't be impatient. The enemy is strong and Great Heaven Division is relying on the 18 natural strongholds on the peak to hold out for so long. Now that we are at the bottom of the peak, the enemy has turned the tables and is now occupying the higher ground … "
Shi Sao said, "What do you think?"
Granny Yu said, "Let's not make a sound and quietly go up the peak. The longer the enemy realizes, the better."
Song Qingshu nodded and said, "Granny Yu's words are in line with the art of war. Pass the order down, let everyone go up the mountain quietly and avoid alerting the enemy."
The eight teams quietly went up the mountain. Once they reached the peak, the strength of each person's lightness kung fu was immediately revealed. Song Qingshu saw that although Granny Yu, Shi Sao and the other leaders were women, their feet were very fast and he secretly nodded, "A strong general indeed has no weak soldiers. With the help of this force, when the time comes to deal with Western Xia's Li Liangzuo, we will have a better chance."
As they walked past the natural strongholds, they saw traces of broken swords and broken trees and stones. It was obvious that when the enemy passed through, they had experienced a cruel battle. After passing Broken Soul Cliff, Lost Feet Cliff, Hundred Feet Stream, they arrived at the Connecting Bridge. They saw that the iron chain bridge between two cliffs had been cut into two with a treasured saber. The distance between the two cliffs was about 50 feet and it was difficult to cross.
The girls looked at each other in astonishment and thought, "Could it be that all the sisters of Great Heaven Tribe have died?"
All the girls knew that the Heavenly Bridge was the only way to connect the two natural strongholds, the Hundred Zhang Mountain Stream and the Immortal Worries Gate. Although it was called a bridge, it was actually just an iron chain. It spanned the cliffs on both sides and led to a deep valley filled with jagged rocks. Those who came to the Spirit Vulture Palace were naturally all highly skilled in martial arts, so it was not difficult for them to pass through the ropes.
This time when Cheng Qingshuang went down the peak, the enemy had only attacked to the Broken Soul Cliff, which was still far from the Heaven-connecting Bridge. But Great Heaven Division was already prepared. They sent people to guard the iron chain. When the enemy attacked, they opened the iron lock in the middle of the iron chain. The iron chain was divided into two parts. This fifty feet wide deep valley was not wide, but to leap over it was not something that could be done by any lightness skill in the world. By now, the ladies saw that the iron chain was cut by a sharp blade. Most likely the enemy had arrived and the ladies of Great Heaven Tribe didn't have the time to break the chain.
Shi Sao waved her willow-leaf knife and called out, "Granny Yu, quickly think of a way to cross over." Granny Yu said, "Hmm, how to cross over? That won't be easy …"
Before she finished her sentence, they suddenly heard two miserable cries from behind the opposite mountain. It was the voice of a woman. The ladies' blood surged. They all knew that their sisters from Great Heaven Division had been killed by the enemy. They wished they could grow wings and fly over to fight the enemy to the death. But no matter how loudly they shouted, they couldn't fly over the natural stronghold.
"Supreme Lord, what should we do?" Only Cheng Qingshuang came to Song Qingshu's side to ask for advice. The other ladies gathered together to discuss a solution. It seemed that they didn't expect this new Supreme Lord to be able to help.
Xiu walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. She saw clouds and mist curling around it. The cold wind was biting cold. She couldn't see the bottom at all. She looked a little longer and her legs became weak. She quickly retreated a few steps and said, "Big Brother, I'm scared."
Song Qingshu looked at the distance on the opposite side and roughly estimated, "It doesn't seem that far."
Cheng Qingshuang's expression changed drastically, "Supreme Lord, you can't take the risk!" She knew that Song Qingshu's martial arts was very high. But this deep ravine that even Tong Lao had to rely on the iron chain for support was fifty feet deep. It really didn't seem like anyone could cross it without any effort.
"It doesn't matter!" Song Qingshu ordered the ladies around him, "Each of you take off your outer cloaks and link them together to form a rope. The rest of you go and find a long enough iron chain as a backup."
Although they were somewhat puzzled, the ladies still moved at his command. The people of Vulture Palace were all women and were good at needlework. It didn't take long for them to make a rope that was six feet long.
Song Qingshu tied one end to a tree and then came to the edge of the cliff. At this time, the ladies also guessed what he was going to do. Although they didn't believe that he could cross such a deep ravine, they still admired him.
"Supreme Lord, do you need us to help you?" Since Song Qingshu had made up his mind, it was not good for the others to dissuade him. Granny Yu and the others came to his side, thinking that if they could use their inner force to push him, it might increase the success rate.
"No need." Song Qingshu smiled slightly and took a step forward.
"Supreme Lord!" The group of women were shocked. One should know that he was originally standing on the edge of the cliff. One step forward and he would fall into the abyss.
But their voices soon stopped abruptly. Instead, they were all so shocked that they couldn't speak. Falling into the abyss did not happen. Instead, what came into view was the scene of Song Qingshu walking step by step towards the other side of the river.
Ah Xiu couldn't help but rub her eyes, "Am I seeing things?" There was clearly nothing beneath Song QingShu's feet, but it was as if he was walking on flat ground, as if there was an invisible bridge beneath his feet.
"How is this possible!" Some palace servants didn't believe it and tried to take a step forward. They almost fell into the deep ravine. Only then did they realize that there was no invisible bridge in front of them.
Cheng Qingshuang was extremely excited, "Supreme Lord's divine power is unparalleled. The sisters of the Great Heaven Tribe can be saved."
The crowd of palace servants cheered. Before, they only respected this young new Supreme Lord on the surface, but in private, they didn't think much of him. But now, everyone was convinced from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, Song Qingshu had already reached the other side of the river. He tied the other end of the rope to a big tree and said to them, "Prepare some cloth chains and iron chains. Choose a few who are skilled in martial arts and come slowly along this rope. Build a few more bridges and bring the sisters of the Great Heaven Tribe over. I will go ahead and explore the way."
Granny Yu and the others were surprised, impressed, and grateful. They said in unison, "Master, be careful!"
Song Qingshu ran to the back of the mountain where the screams came from. After passing through a narrow stone lane, he saw two corpses lying on the ground. Their heads were separated from their bodies, and blood was still flowing from their necks. He couldn't help but frown, "In the original work, Xuzhu not only forgave the rebellion of the people of the Thirty-six Caves and Seventy-two Islands, but also released the Life-and-Death Spell for them. But so many women of the Vulture Palace were killed and injured. Who will avenge them?"
Xuzhu didn't have to think about this because he had the cheat code of the protagonist, but he had to think about it in the real world. After all, he was a new Supreme Lord. If he didn't handle it well, he would easily lose the support of the Nine Heavens Tribes.
But he still needed the strength of the people of the Thirty-six Islands and Seventy-two Caves to deal with the Western Xia Country. It was really a headache.
Song Qingshu pondered along the way and walked quickly along the path to the peak. The higher he went, the thicker the white fog around him became. In less than two hours, he had reached the top of the Misty Peak. In the fog, there were pine trees everywhere, but he couldn't hear a single sound. He couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
"Did they kill all the women of the Great Heaven Tribe?"
He saw an underground road paved with bluestones. Each bluestone was about eight feet long and three feet wide. They were very neat. To pave such a road, it was a huge project. It seemed that the women of Tong Lao couldn't have done it. The bluestone road was about two miles long. At the end of the road, a huge stone castle stood majestically. On both sides of the castle gate, there was a stone eagle statue, which was more than three feet high. It had a sharp beak and huge claws, and it looked extraordinary. The gate of the castle was half closed, and there was still no one around.
Song Qingshu flashed through the gate and passed through two courtyards. He heard a stern shout, "Where is the place where the thief hid the treasure? Are you going to tell me or not? "
A woman's voice scolded, "Dog slave, do you think we still want to live? Don't even think about it. "
