Arriving at the peak pointed by Pei Yan, Han Jiulin followed Pei Yan in a small circle around the foot of the mountain and found the steep mountain road leading to the top.
At this point, Pei Yan stopped and had no intention of moving forward.
She could guide Han Jiulin in order to regain his freedom, but she did not want to expose herself and let the master of Tongtian Hall know that she was the one who brought Han Jiulin here.
Because she wanted to follow the master of Tongtian Palace to Xiaoyujing later.
Han Jiulin had just promised her that she would not need to go up the mountain, but at this point, he grabbed Pei Yanyan's neck and said, "Sorry, I offended you."
With a gentle squeeze, Pei Yan's whole body went limp and he couldn't move.
Then he carried Pei Yan on his back and quickly climbed the mountain.
"Han Jiulin! As the commander-in-chief of the four realms, how can you be so dishonest in your words!"
Pei Yan was furious and his face was as black as carbon.
Han Jiulin said in a deep voice: "What if you tell lies and deceive me, waiting for me to go up the mountain, and then you escape from here, what should I do?
I don’t have time to play hide and seek with you!”
If it were normal times, Han Jiulin could definitely agree to Pei Yan's conditions.
After all, he has a high position and great power, so he is not afraid of Pei Yan's tricks.
But now that he is eager to save people, why does he care what Pei Yan thinks?
A true man should of course stick to his word, but he should not stick to the rules.
Seeing Han Jiulin's resolute attitude, Pei Yanyan could only do the next best thing and said: "I swear, the Tongtian Palace is really on this mountain! You can take me up there if you want, but please let me go after you see the Tongtian Palace.
I leave."
"no problem."
Han Jiulin nodded and agreed.
Now, apart from not having the support of true energy, Han Jiulin's physique is many times stronger than the one at the peak of the divine realm.
Although he was carrying Pei Yan on his back, he climbed quickly like a mountain leopard. The steep mountain road was like walking on flat ground under his feet.
The peak is more than 2,000 meters high. Within half an hour, the top of the mountain can be seen in the distance.
Soon, Han Jiulin focused his eyes and saw the cave on the cliff above, and also saw the three characters "Tongtian Palace" above the cave!
At this time, Pei Yan was already impatient and urged: "Okay, Tongtian Palace has arrived, you can let me down!"
Han Jiulin didn't waste any time. He placed Pei Yanyan on a nearby rock and sat down. He gently tapped the acupuncture points on Pei Yan's body to help her regain her strength. He then left Pei Yanyan alone and quickly climbed towards the Tongtian Hall.
Pei Yanyan also seized the time and quickly went down the mountain, for fear of being discovered by the people from Tongtian Palace. She was the one who brought Han Jiulin up.
The mountain road near Tongtian Hall is so steep that there is almost no ground to stay on. There are only some raised rocks that can be used for climbing.
Without a warrior who has developed internal strength and a professional climber, it would be extremely difficult to get up here.
The mountain wind is howling and cold, and the white clouds are floating under your feet. The scenery here is indescribably beautiful.
But Han Jiulin had no time to care about this.
He quickly arrived outside the stone cave of Tongtian Hall and landed silently on the stone steps.
There is a stone room at the entrance of the cave, but it is empty and there is no one around.
He leaned against the cave and listened inside. For a moment, he didn't hear any sound from the cave!
Not even a faint sound of breathing!
You know, now that Han Jiulin has opened the Three Paths of Hegemonic Body Shrine, his body has already undergone earth-shaking changes. It can be said that his ears and eyes are sharp, and his ability to perceive the five senses is much stronger than before.
"Why is there no one?"
Han Jiulin's heart sank and he strode into the cave.
As he walked, he was still on guard, just in case he touched any mechanism.
However, what disappointed Han Jiulin was that there was no one in this cave, not even any mechanism!
However, there are traces of someone's life there.
Moreover, Han Jiulin also found a woman's hair in a stone room!
Judging from the hair color and length, it is most likely Qin Linxi’s!
"Linxi was brought here!"
"But now this place is deserted!"
"Could it be that Qi Mingyu and the others have left here with Qin Linxi and gone to 'Xiaoyujing'?"
Han Jiulin felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and restless for a while!
"Is it still too late?!"
Han Jiulin's eyes were red and he wanted to vomit blood, but after a while, he forced himself to calm down, turned around and walked out of the cave, intending to search again on this mountain.
He wants to see people alive and his body alive, otherwise, he will never give up!
After walking out of the cave, the top of the mountain was a few hundred meters above his head. Han Jiulin quickly climbed to the top of the mountain along the jagged rocks, hoping to get to the top of the mountain, stay high up, and look around.
After a dozen breaths, he reached the top of the mountain, held up his hands, and jumped up.
When I stood on the top of the mountain, I was shocked to find that the top of the mountain was actually covered with broken jade stones, just like a beautiful jade mountain.
And in the center of Jade Mountain, there was an old man with gray hair wearing a robe, sitting cross-legged, with his head lowered, motionless, not knowing whether to live or die!
"Who are you?
But the Master of Tongtian Hall?"
Han Jiulin's eyes narrowed, he took a few steps forward and asked in a deep voice.
Hearing the sound, the old man slowly raised his head and glanced at Han Jiulin.
What an old face this is?
The wrinkles are as dense as old tree bark, and the skin is dull and lackluster.
At first glance, he looks senile and about to die!
However, Han Jiulin only took one look and was shocked and exclaimed: "Are you Qi Mingyu?"
The white-headed man in front of me looks to be a hundred years old, but his appearance is exactly the same as that of the young Qi Mingyu!
It’s basically Qi Mingyu a hundred years from now!
The white-headed man showed a wry smile, looked Han Jiulin up and down, and said slowly: "Jiulin, I didn't expect that I would be able to see you again before I died. I'm sorry!"
He really is Qi Mingyu!
I said the last sentence of sorry, and in an instant, my face burst into tears.
Han Jiulin's expression changed instantly, he strode to Qi Mingyu, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up.
Han Sheng asked: "Where is Qin Linxi, where did you take her?"
Qi Mingyu was as skinny and weightless as a skinny man. The moment Han Jiulin lifted him up, he even thought he was lifting a piece of rotten wood.
Qi Mingyu looked at Han Jiulin bitterly and said slowly: "Linxi was taken away. You will never see her again. I'm sorry."
His breath was weak, his voice was hoarse and dry, harsh and unpleasant.
Han Jiulin said angrily: "Who took Linxi away and where?
What happened to you? Why did you become like this?
Tell me what's going on!"
Qi Mingyu coughed a few times and said slowly: "Put me down and I will tell you slowly."
Han Jiulin suppressed his anger, put Qi Mingyu on the ground, and looked at him coldly, his eyes a little complicated.
He never expected that Qi Mingyu, who should be in high spirits after not seeing him for a few days, would turn out like this!
There must be something else hidden behind this matter!
Qi Mingyu took a few breaths, full of self-blame and regret, and recounted the details of what happened when he brought Qin Linxi back to Tongtian Palace.
