“Quickly find Fourth Mother. If you can’t come back quickly to report to me, then stay there and secretly protect her safety. Do you understand what I mean?” Yue Yang knew that there was no more Innate Rankers in the Starved Dog Range. However, the Thousand Goblins Sect might have some Minor Innates. He didn’t dare to make assumptions. As he ordered the Bloody Queen to investigate Fourth Mother’s whereabouts, he quickly dragged his sore and exhausted body towards the direction Xiao Wen Li had sensed.
According to Xiao Wen Li’s guidance, Yue Yang finally reached the other side of the Starved Dog Range after half an hour.
On the other side of the Starved Dog Range, there was a humongous cliff. Halfway through the cliff, there were jagged rocks protruding out. After going around it, there was a towering mountain ridge.
The name of this mountain ridge did not sound very good. It’s called “Dog’s Leg Cliff”. It was name as such not because it’s shaped like a dog’s leg, nor because it’s located behind the Starved Dog Range. Legend said that there was once a war, where there was a shameless traitor who had allowed his enemies to infiltrate his own camp through a secret pathway in this Cliff, orchestrated a pincer attack on his army from the front and the back, hence causing a complete defeat of his own army… In order to remember the disgusting act of this traitor, the later generation had named the cliff where the secret pathway was hidden the “Dog’s Leg Cliff”!
(Shiro: Dog’s leg can also mean a derogatory term for henchmen)
Yue Yang didn’t know if the legend was true or false, but there must be a small connecting pathway inside the cliff. This fact had already been verified by the Warrior’s Guild.
If the Warrior’s Guild hadn’t verified it, they wouldn’t draw a streak of line that represented the secret pathway on the map.
He didn’t see Bloody Queen at all. Yue Yang resisted the pain in his body and climbed up the slippery cliff that normal warriors would never be able to climb. It was only at this time that he realized that there was a whole new world up there. In the slippery, dangerous cliff, there was actually a mountain cave that couldn’t be seen from below.
Even if Yue Yang did not have Hui Tai Lang’s sharp sense of smell, he could smell a strong smell of blood coming out from within the mountain cave.
As he prepared to infiltrate into the mountain cave, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind his back.
Hui Jin Magic Blade exploded out with a slash.
When there was only a gap as wide as a string left, before Yue Yang chopped the other side’s head off, he halted his Hui Jin Magic Blade suddenly.
That was because Yue Yang realized that the person who had suddenly appeared behind him was the Principal that had promised him to save his sister. She was still wearing the same clothes just now, but she covered her face with a white veil. A trail of fresh blood flowed from her mouth, blossoming like fallen cherry petals. Yue Yang felt extremely guilty looking at that. She had forced her exhausted body to use her [Heart’s Cry] Inherent Skill in order to find his Fourth Mother… Right now, she must not have been able to find his sister, hence she switched over to Starved Dog Range instead… Yue Yang supported the beautiful Principal whose body was swaying back and forth, asking her softly, “Are you okay?”
“I’m okay. I am not injured, this is my old sickness. It’s nothing much.” The beautiful Principal who was covered in white veil consoled Yue yang instead, “Your Fourth Mother is alright. Wu Xia is protecting her in secret while Qian Qian and Luo Hua are waiting for an opportunity to save her. My body is weak, I couldn’t help much, so I stayed outside to wait for you. Go inside now, they would be reassured if you are with them!” The beautiful principal’s body had been trembling non-stop. When she spoke, the fresh blood dripping from the corner of her mouth stained her white veil with red.
“Wu Xia?” Yue Yang froze. Was that the mysterious beauty’s, who liked to read books, name?
Seeing that the beautiful Principal’s body was about to sway and fell to the ground, Yue yang immediately supported her up, placing his palms on her back and channeling his Innate Qi into her to help her heal her wounds.
The beautiful principal struggled weakly as she resisted, “You don’t have to waste your strength, my illness is already beyond cure. Just reserve your strength to battle for now, I would be fine if I go back and rest! I couldn’t find your sister, she should have already been brought back by the State Grandmaster… If you saw Wu Xia, don’t tell her that I have used my [Heart’s Cry] Inherent Skill. If she asked, just tell her that you did not come to see me at all…”
