After climbing for a long time, the rope ran out. GongYimo took out a spare rope from her space. She tried a few times but still couldn't get it into the lock.
Her forehead was sweating profusely, and she was about to collapse!
At this moment, a sharp whistle came from the clouds! A huge bird flew towards her. Its sharp beak shone with cold light. It tore a wound on GongYimo's arm!
Gong Yi Mo was caught off guard. Her feet loosened, and her whole body swayed in the air with the help of a safety belt.
Without waiting for her to find a place to stand, a few more birds rushed out from the dark. They attacked from all directions with their sharp cries. Their fast speed and black figures were like ghosts in the clouds.
GongYimo was already dizzy. She didn't have much strength to take out the sword. She killed a few birds with great effort. But after seeing blood, more and more birds appeared. They even attacked the rope cleverly.
In the chaos, GongYimo was surrounded by a flock of big black birds. She seemed to hear something breaking. Then her body suddenly fell. Her whole body tensed up!
Oh no! The rope broke!
The speed at which she fell was extremely fast, and in an instant, she had rushed out of the encirclement of the strange birds. If this continued, she would definitely be smashed to pieces!
GongYimo took out her sword and stabbed it into the cliff. But the sword couldn't bear her weight and broke in an instant!
Looking at the broken sword in her hand, was she going to die here?!
After a long night, daybreak arrived ….
Qiu Xing Feng moved impatiently, "Grand-disciple, did Momo really say she could come up in a day? Why hasn't she come up yet? "
Gong Che sat on the edge of the cliff, motionless like a statue. Hearing this, he turned his head stiffly. His eyes were bloodshot.
Qiu Xing Feng didn't notice and said worriedly, "She won't be in danger, right? Such a high cliff … "
He took a closer look and said timidly, "It's such a high cliff. Even I wouldn't dare to go down easily."
He was at the fifth level of Wind and Nature!
His words made Gong Che's face turn even uglier. His hand rubbed against the rough rock bit by bit. Blood flowed out from his wound again, but he was completely unaware.
A day had passed. He had been waiting for a day.
At this time, a large group of soldiers and horses suddenly came up the mountain. Qiu Xing Feng thought it was the enemy and immediately prepared for battle. However, he did not expect it to be Gong Dai's men. It turned out that one day was enough for the battle at the foot of the mountain to be settled.
The Great Prince was the one behind the scenes. He thought that with the Emperor and the Crown Prince dead, as the eldest son, he would be able to openly inherit the throne. He did not expect that Gong Dai would appear and disrupt all his plans. Then, the Emperor and the Crown Prince did not die.
Now that the entire Imperial City had fallen into Gong Dai's hands and the First Prince had fled in defeat, the only thing Gong Che needed to do was go back and pacify the people.
When the Emperor saw that things had calmed down, he could not hold on any longer and fainted. Now, only the Crown Prince could convince the masses.
Therefore, Gong Dai sent people to invite him. Even though he was in power now, it was not the time to change the regime. He still needed Gong Che to take charge of the situation.
Gong Che shook his head. His voice was extremely hoarse.
"Mo'er is here. I want to wait for her."
The person leading the group was Lo Qi. Hearing this, Lo Qi showed a troubled expression. "But the situation now requires you!"
The situation? Everything he did was built on the foundation of being with Mo'er. Without her, nothing would exist.
Gong Che closed his eyes and did not speak again.
Lo Qi had no choice but to retreat and report back.
What was Gong Che thinking? He did not think of anything.
He dared to jump down from here and die with Mo'er. He was not afraid to jump down again.
However, he promised Mo'er to believe in her. He would wait, wait.

When GongYimo woke up, she did not know how long she had been unconscious for. At this time, she was in a dark place. She could see that the sky was bright, but she could not tell what time it was.
She should have fallen directly to the fifth level. This was bad. The rope was broken, but she did not know where it was broken. How could she go up? Gong Che was probably waiting anxiously!
She moved and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. It turned out that her arm was broken. Every time she moved, she felt a piercing pain!
Trembling, she climbed up and found a branch to stabilize her arm. Then, she ate some food. At this time, she found a very large stone cave behind her. There was a faint light coming from inside. She curiously walked in. The light became brighter and brighter. Soon, she arrived at a very mysterious place.
The walls were filled with white glowing crystals. They were stacked layer by layer, making people feel like they were in a world of ice and snow. When she reached the bottom, she saw a person!
Moreover, it was a woman!
That woman should have died many years ago. However, because of the unique climate here, she did not rot. Instead, she became a dried corpse. A tattered phoenix robe covered her body. GongYimo guessed her identity immediately.
The empress of the founding emperor and the first person to jump down the stairway to heaven! She did not die? Instead, she fell to the fifth level and finally died here …
Yes, she died because her hair was white. It was obvious that she had lived for many years.
GongYimo saw the place where she died. There were a few lines of words in front of it.
Gong Shiyuan destroyed my life. I would rather be cut off from the world than meet him again!
Shiyuan … was the founding emperor's courtesy name.
How deep was the hatred that she would rather jump off the cliff to seek death? How deep was the hatred that she would rather live on the cliff than meet him again?
It was said that the founding empress was highly skilled in martial arts. If she wanted to leave this place, it would not be difficult. GongYimo thought of the founding emperor who waited his whole life. The scene in front of her was really a tragedy.
She sighed and was about to find a place to rest. However, she saw a lot of raised haystacks behind the founding empress. She curiously ran over to take a look and found that there were eggs buried in the haystacks!
Thinking of the strange birds that attacked her in the clouds, GongYimo angrily picked up an egg and was about to roast it. However, at this moment, a sharp whistle was heard. A strange bird that was half the height of a person suddenly came out from the dark and stared at her fiercely!
Following its cry, more and more strange birds flew in, and all of them looked unfriendly!
GongYimo held the bird egg and retreated cautiously.
"Don't come over! Or I will smash it! "
As she said that, she made a gesture of wanting to throw the egg. All the birds took a step back, as if they were afraid.
GongYimo remembered that the founding empress had two strange birds, one male and one female. They were very human-like! Could it be that they had reproduced in this nest?!
Who knew that just as she thought of that, two strange birds suddenly flew out from the group of strange birds. Their heads were almost as tall as GongYimo's shoulders! Its body was pitch-black, and its eyes shined like obsidian as it stared intently at Gong Yi Mo!
They … could it be that they were the empress's birds? It had been a few hundred years, but they were still not dead?
