Глава 217

I've never heard of anyone surviving a fall from Black Wind Cliff. If the Emperor were to go to Black Wind Cliff, would he still be alive?

Xiao Luzi shouted to the eunuchs outside the door, "Quickly, stop the Emperor! Stop the Emperor! The Emperor is going to Black Wind Cliff! He must not go! He must not go!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuchs outside the main hall all paled and rushed out, trying to stop the berserk Ye Lingfeng. Unfortunately, they were no match for him, as he shouted, "Get out of the way!"

With a flick of his palm, he unleashed a powerful surge of internal energy, causing a large mass of people to fall in front of the door, sweeping away eunuchs and palace maids.

Ye Lingfeng, along with his servants Shizhu and Shiju and several guards, leaped into the darkness and disappeared without a trace. Xiao Luzi felt like dying and jumped up and down, screaming at the eunuchs who had been swept aside: "Quick, quick, go and report to the Empress Dowager that the Emperor has gone to Black Wind Cliff."

Miss Ji jumped off Black Wind Cliff. I wonder if the Emperor will jump off Black Wind Cliff too?

Ye Lingfeng led Shi Zhu, Shi Ju, and the others straight out of the city, heading towards Black Wind Cliff.

Shi Zhu and Shi Ju were extremely worried and followed Ye Lingfeng, asking, "Your Majesty, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"I'm going down to the bottom of the cliff to find her."

"Your Majesty, you must not! Nobody knows what the situation is like at Black Wind Cliff. Why don't we go down and take a look first? If Miss Ji is alright, we will definitely bring her up to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please do not put yourself in danger."

Shi Zhu spoke, and Shi Ju on the side nodded in agreement.

Unfortunately, Ye Lingfeng's heart was now stained with bloodthirsty ruthlessness, and he couldn't listen to anyone else's words.

He wished he could fall off Black Wind Cliff with Ling'er. Just now, when he heard that Ling'er had fallen off Black Wind Cliff, his heart almost stopped beating. He himself never imagined that his feelings for Ling'er were so deep, so deep that it seemed like they had existed for several lifetimes. Just hearing that she was in trouble made him unable to breathe, so he paid no attention to Shizhu and Shiju.

"Alright, stop trying to persuade me. I must go down Black Wind Cliff."

The voice was icy and sinister, as if it had sprung up from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Shi Zhu, Shi Ju, and the others dared not speak. The dozen or so people used their lightness skills to rush to the city gate. At the city gate, Shi Zhu waved the palace token, and the guards dared not refuse to let them pass. The group left the city and headed towards Black Wind Cliff.

Black Wind Cliff at night is dark, gloomy, and terrifying. There is no light at all, not even a moon in the sky. Although there are twinkling stars, their light is dim.

Ye Lingfeng headed straight for the top of Black Wind Cliff.

The surroundings were empty, with only the howling wind and the muffled groans of wild animals in the forest.

Under the cover of night, Ye Lingfeng's robes fluttered and his black hair danced lightly. His cold and ruthless aura caused Shi Zhu, Shi Ju, and the others to be terrified when they saw his expression. They quickly knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider. You are the emperor of the country. If anything were to happen to you..."

"I will be fine. If anything happens, it is my destiny to suffer this calamity."

After Ye Lingfeng finished speaking, he waved his long sleeves and ordered in a deep voice, "You all stay on the cliff and wait for my news."

After saying that, he leaped down Black Wind Cliff. Shi Zhu and Shi Ju were determined to follow their master to the death, so they followed closely behind and jumped off Black Wind Cliff. The dozen or so subordinates on the cliff were also preparing to jump with their master. Shi Zhu gave the order in a cold voice.

"Alright, you guys stay up here and wait for news. Maybe everything will be fine. But what if we don't come up in three days?"

He didn't finish his sentence: if they didn't come up in three days, it meant they were surely dead.

"emperor."

A chorus of shouts rose from the cliff, carried far by the wind.

Black Wind Cliff, as its name suggests, is called Black Wind Cliff because it is always gloomy. In fact, there is another world beneath Black Wind Cliff, but no one knows about it. So, after Hai Ling, Ji Shaocheng, Shi Mei and others jumped off the cliff, they slept for half a day and a night. When they woke up the next morning, they found themselves lying on a flat ground covered with flowers and green grass. Hai Ling struggled to get up and found that she was alright. She quickly looked for Ji Shaocheng and Shi Mei and the others, and fortunately they were not far away.

Hailing went up to check their breathing and found that they were all fine. She breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting that they had survived such a disaster and escaped with their lives.

If I hadn't jumped off Black Wind Cliff and had stayed on the cliff top, I would definitely have been killed by those assassins.

However, it's clear who sent those people; their master must be a formidable and ruthless figure. Those assassins aren't just anyone who can be trained.

Hailin was lost in thought when she heard a soft murmur beside her, and quickly turned her head to look.

But Shi Mei woke up, rubbing her head and looking around with excited eyes.

"Miss, are we alright? We're alright."

The others woke up one after another. As soon as Ji Shaocheng opened his eyes, he looked around for Hai Ling. He was only relieved when he was sure that Hai Ling was alright.

At this moment, everyone gathered together, looking at their location. There was a cliff on the outside and a sheer wall on the inside. Above that, dark clouds rolled in, making it impossible to see anything above or how high it was.

They were currently on a platform extending from the edge of Black Wind Cliff, and they had just fallen onto this platform, thus escaping disaster.

You survived a terrible ordeal!

The group of people were thinking the same thing at the same time, but what they needed to do right now was figure out how to get up there, because things must have changed up there.

If the Emperor knew that Miss had fallen off Black Wind Cliff, I wonder what kind of furious rage he would unleash?

Hai Ling looked up for a long time, then instructed Shi Mei: "Mei'er, your lightness skill is quite good, go up and test whether you can get up there?"

"yes."

Shi Mei responded, first taking a deep breath, and then realized that the fall from the cliff last night had not injured her, so she leaped up the cliff.

After a few leaps, it disappeared from sight, but soon slid down again.

“Miss, we can’t go up. The lower cliff is a bit better, but the upper one is too smooth. There’s nothing to hold onto, so it’s impossible to get up.”

After Shi Mei finished speaking, Ji Shaocheng went up and tried it again. Just as Shi Mei had said, the higher he went, the smoother it became, and it even extended outwards, forming a brim shape that was impossible to cross.

"Are we doomed to stay here?"

Shi Lan asked, and the others looked at each other. If they couldn't go up, they would have to stay here, which was almost the same as waiting to die. There was no food here, so how could they survive?

"Let's look around and see if there's anything we can eat. Once we've filled our stomachs, we can think of something else. We need to stay calm right now. Maybe there's a way out. Since God has saved us from this ordeal, there must be a way."
