The instigators of this performance had already walked down the mountain path.
"Brother Long, it's still so fun. Look at all of them, they all look like drowned rats."
Jan Bibiyan on the side could not conceal his joy.
"Fun is second to none. This way we can avoid exposing our situation in a head-on battle, and we can go down the mountain smoothly. Why not do it?"
Long Yingxiao also smiled and replied.
Purple mist filled the air around them, and Long Yingxiao and others immediately hid themselves after coming down from the mountain.
In the darkness and purple mist, Long Yingxiao turned on a small flashlight and illuminated the scenic map in his hand.
"It's three o'clock in the morning, about three hours before sunrise."
Long Yingxiao continued to speak while gesturing on the map with his hand:
"But we are still at least six kilometers away from the Sheshen Cliff, and the terrain of this section of the road is complicated. The ropeway is not yet open. What can we do to get there?"
After Long Yingxiao finished speaking, his finger was still pointing on the map, thinking about possible methods.
If you walk directly from the mountain, it will be too difficult and you will have to take a long detour. By the time you get to Sheshen Cliff, the day lilies will probably be cold.
How about walking directly from the ropeway?
This is even more unfeasible. The cableway is suspended high in the air, and the diameter of the steel wire rope above it is only so small. If someone walks on it accidentally, he will fall down the valley.
Long Yingxiao was thinking here when a "squeak" sound came from not far away.
Although this sound was extremely harsh, Long Yingxiao had a smile on his face after hearing it.
"It seems we are not the only ones who want to go to Sheshen Cliff."
Long Yingxiao stood up and looked at the aerial ropeway that had been operated not far away and was slowly moving forward.
"Let's go."
The purple mist dissipated, and Long Yingxiao and others walked towards the nearest ride attraction.
After Long Yingxiao and others arrived, the person who opened the ropeway had already left. Adhering to the fine tradition of the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade, they got directly into the hanging box.
Although it is said that eight people can share a gondola, for safety reasons, the eight people were divided into two groups and took two gondolas to Sheshen Cliff.
The four members of the Immortal Team rode in one, and the four in Long Yingxiao rode in one. Long Yingxiao was afraid that if someone blocked them when they arrived at Sheshen Cliff, eight people would be trapped in a hanging box and it would be difficult to escape.
It is worth mentioning that after the gondola in which Long Yingxiao and four people were riding started to move, Long Yingxiao happened to see the arrival of Jiang Mingye and seven others.
Several people were not dry yet, but when they saw the ropeway started, they had no time to continue warming themselves up, so they had to rush over first.
It is indeed uncomfortable to wear wet clothes, but everyone is a martial artist and their physical fitness is far better than ordinary people. They will not catch a cold or have a fever even if they are so wet.

"Hello everyone, please exit."
After arriving at Sheshen Cliff, Long Yingxiao did not expect that there would be someone there to greet him.
"Who are you?"
Shao Tianhan couldn't help but ask.
"The younger one is a servant of the Jiang family. On the orders of Young Master Jiang Mingyan, I am here to welcome all the guests who come to Sheshen Cliff."
guest?
Jiang Mingyan?
Do the Jiang family really regard them as the masters of Liangzhou and return guests?
Long Yingxiao shook his head.
"Where is your young master?"
Although he didn't have a good impression of the Jiang family, Jiang Mingyan dared to ask his men to wait here, so he must be somewhat prepared, so Long Yingxiao still asked.
"The young master is right in front, please follow me."
Long Yingxiao and Shao Tianhan looked at each other and decided to follow the boy.
"Shall the four of you come together?"
After the boy led the four people out of the mountain pass outside the cableway, Long Yingxiao discovered that Lin Muping and the four of them were waiting outside, and the boy was questioning Lin Muping and the four of them.
Lin Muping nodded and followed the boy.
Long Yingxiao originally wanted to meet up with Lin Muping, but he saw the look Lin Muping cast and signaled not to recognize each other for the time being.
Although he was a little confused, Long Yingxiao still chose to follow Lin Muping's wishes.
There was still some distance between Long Yingxiao and Lin Muping, so he softly told Shao Tianhan and the others not to communicate with them for the time being.
After walking for less than three minutes, they arrived at the cliff of Sheshen.
A dozen steps further, there was the cliff where the roc-shaped spiritual beast hit.
Before arriving here, Long Yingxiao had not expected that so many people were already here.
He took a quick look and found that there were at least seventy or eighty people here.
"Boy, who are you? Why did you call us here?"
To the left of Long Yingxiao and everyone, an old man in black sitting on a tree shouted to the young man in white standing in front of everyone.
"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Mingyan, a descendant of the Jiang family in Liangzhou. You must have come here for the Observation Stone, but just now everyone saw that the victorious spirit beast disappeared here. Now the clue is broken. I am the first to rush.
I haven’t found anything unusual since I got here, so I want to pool our efforts to look for clues.”
Following the sound, Long Yingxiao saw Jiang Mingyan, the instigator who invited them here.
Originally, Long Yingxiao couldn't see him from such a distance, but someone brought two big lamps and illuminated everything around him clearly.
Jiang Mingyan was wearing white clothes and seemed a little out of place in this dark environment. His facial features were very similar to the Jiang Mingye Long Yingxiao had seen on the mountainside, but Jiang Mingyan's face was more resolute and his temperament was calmer.
He is quite calm and eloquent when speaking, and behaves in a mature and steady manner.
Of course, what attracted Long Yingxiao's attention the most were the two swords on his waist.
The scabbard is simple and simple, with a dark brown color as a whole. The sword grid is painted with dark red dragon carvings, and the sword tang is directly carved into a dragon head containing a pearl.
The two swords are of the same standard, and the only difference that can distinguish them is the back of the hilt that Long Yingxiao cannot see.
A moment of "hidden dragon",
A moment "in the abyss".
Hidden Dragon in the Deep Sword.
As soon as Long Yingxiao saw these two swords, he knew that Jiang Mingyan was definitely the leader of the younger generation of the Jiang family.
The material, workmanship and power of the Qianlong Zaiyuan Sword itself come second. The most important thing is that these two swords are the inheritance symbols of the Jiang family. Generally speaking, they will only be given to the best among the Jiang family's children.
"How do I know if you have noticed any abnormalities? I also said that you lied. Did you take the Observation Stone in advance and watch us coming before you are here to engage in an empty city plan with us?"
The old man in black who just spoke obviously didn't buy Jiang Mingyan's fault.
"I wonder who you are?"
Jiang Mingyan did not rush to refute him, but instead raised his hand and asked.
"You don't deserve to know my name."
The old man in black was quite arrogant, but he did not reveal his identity.
Except for Jiang Mingyan and the Jiang family members around him, few others showed their true faces. They were either wearing masks, or covering their faces with face scarves like Long Yingxiao and others, or wearing
Wearing masks and large-framed black sunglasses... no one can see their faces at all.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. If you don't believe it, you can go to the cliff and have a look. You can also go and investigate on your own."
Jiang Mingyan pointed to the cliff behind him and said bluntly.
Long Yingxiao and Shao Tianhan looked at each other, a little moved.
But there are so many people here. If you walk to the edge of the cliff alone, who can guarantee that no one will kill you from behind?
Although everyone seems to be in harmony now, everyone knows that once the Observation Stone appears, everyone will kill him.
The old man in black was obviously hesitant. He looked at everyone present and said:
"Jiang, please ask your people to move back to prevent you from stabbing me in the back when I go over to take a look."
After listening to the words of the old man in black, Jiang Mingyan waved his hand to signal the Jiang family to leave, and he himself took a few steps back.
"Are you still going to see it?"
Shao Tianhan approached Long Yingxiao and asked in a low voice.
"go."
The purpose of everyone coming here is to investigate. Now that Jiang Mingyan has given up his position, how can Long Yingxiao be afraid.
"Ziling, you and Long Ling are waiting for us here. Tianhan and I will come as soon as we go."
Long Yingxiao whispered in Mo Ziling's ear and then walked forward with Shao Tianhan.
Not far away, Lin Muping also walked out of the crowd with Angelina.
There were twenty or thirty people working with the old man in black. Although everyone came to the cliff together, they stayed far away from each other in order to prevent being attacked by others.
Long Yingxiao and Shao Tianhan stood on the big tree on the cliff farther away from everyone, observing quietly.
The closest ones to the two were Lin Muping and Angelina. Long Yingxiao took out his flashlight and shined it on the cliff. After looking for a while and finding nothing unusual, he subconsciously turned his attention to Lin Muping.
Lin Muping also saw the questioning look from Long Yingxiao. He shook his head and indicated that he had not found any useful information.
After seeing Lin Muping shaking his head, Long Yingxiao had no idea of continuing to read. He knew that Lin Muping had the power of "Eagle Eyes" and his eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people.
Not to mention that Lin Muping saw it with his own eyes at that time
The roc-shaped spiritual beast crashed into the sacrificial cliff, and Lin Muping couldn't find any clues, let alone them.
The others obviously didn't gain much either. After observing for a while, they also left from the edge of the cliff.
"Brother?"
Long Yingxiao, Shao Tianhan and Mo Ziling had just joined together when a voice came from beside them.
Looking around, Long Yingxiao saw seven people who were still wet but not yet dry.
Jiang Mingye, who seemed to be able to pinch water out of the bun on her head, said in surprise.
Long Yingxiao, who was standing not far away from him, couldn't help but sneered, "Why are you surprised? Are you surprised that your elder brother set up a trap here?"
Don't tell me you don't know the waiter your eldest brother left behind.
But as soon as Jiang Mingye called out, Jiang Mingyan came over.
"Second brother, how did you do this?"
Jiang Mingyan looked at the desolate appearance of his seven brothers and frowned.
"I was tricked by Xiaoxiao on the way. It's okay."
Jiang Mingye obviously didn't want to say more.
"As long as it's okay, if you need help from brother, just ask."
Jiang Mingyan patted Jiang Mingye on the shoulder and said.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Second brother, you will know later. Just follow me and watch."
Jiang Mingyan didn't say it directly, and Long Yingxiao couldn't hear what he wanted to do.
"Everyone, have you found any clues?"
Jiang Mingyan walked out of the Jiang family, came to the center of the field, and said.
Although no one responded, they had all left the cliff and naturally found nothing.
Nothing was found, so naturally someone was ready to leave.
"Jiang boy, what do you mean?"
Seeing that a boy was blocking his way, the old man in black turned his head and said to Jiang Mingyan.
Although the others were not as direct as the old man in black, they all looked at Jiang Mingyan, waiting for his response.
"Your Excellency, please be patient."
After Jiang Mingyan answered his words, he said to everyone present:
"Everyone has worked hard all night, so naturally they won't want to go all out tonight for nothing, right?"
"Just say what you want to say, don't waste my time."
Seeing that Jiang Mingyan was still showing off, the old man in black walked back and said to him.
"From one in the morning to three in the morning, the silver light group rose twice. The two rising times were different, and the final results were also different. What does this have to do with the Observation Stone?"
"Jiang is not talented, but he also found some clues and made his own speculations."
When Jiang Mingyan said this, he paused briefly, obviously observing everyone's reaction.
Although there was a slight gap, no one urged him to continue. It was obvious that everyone was thinking about something.
"It's just that the current environment is not suitable for talking with you in detail. Why don't you all go back and rest first. At seven o'clock tonight, I will hold a banquet on the fifth floor of Jiandu Hotel and sincerely invite you all to come. At that time, all seniors are also asked to take off their masks.
So that Mingyan can get to know him."
Giving a banquet?
Aren't you allowed to cover your face?
Long Yingxiao frowned, speculating on Jiang Mingyan's purpose.
"Jiang boy, what exactly did you find?"
The old man in black obviously lost his patience.
"Of course, if you don't want to come, Mingyan won't force you."
Although Jiang Mingyan did not answer his question, these words were clearly addressed to him.
Seeing that everyone was a little silent, Jiang Mingyan cupped his hands again and said:
"At seven o'clock tonight, Ming Yan is waiting for you all in Jiandu."
After Jiang Mingyan said this, several boys blocking the road also moved out of the way and stretched out their hands in a "please" gesture.
Everyone got on the hanging box one by one and left again.
"Brother, do you have any clues?"
After everyone left, Jiang Mingye came forward and asked.
"It's not clear yet. I still need to investigate further. Second brother, please call third brother tonight and come together."
The elder brother himself did not answer directly, and Jiang Mingye did not continue to ask questions.
"Third brother?"
Hearing that Jiang Mingye seemed to have doubts, Jiang Mingyan smiled slightly and asked:
"What's wrong, tomorrow night? What's the problem?"
"No, I understand. Brother, let's go first."
Seeing Jiang Mingyan nod, Jiang Mingye left with his men who were still a little wet.
Looking at the leaving figure of his second brother, Jiang Mingyan gently held the Hidden Dragon Sword beside his right hand and showed an indescribable smile.
