Shuang Ya searched around the vicinity of Wind-Fire Cliff for a whole day, but still could not find a way down the cliff. He went to the nearest farmhouse and found a rope. He tied a tree trunk to the cliff and pulled the rope down. The rope was already at the end of the rope, so he couldn't see the end of it with his feet still in darkness. In desperation, he could only get on, abandon the carriage, and ride back to the sect to call for reinforcements.

On the journey of three days, after running three horses to death, he only used a day and a half to return to the Toxic Sect. When the Sect Elders heard that something had happened to the Sect Leader, they rushed over like crazy. Shuang Ya called the disciples in the sect to also send a letter to Hua Ximo, letting them know that Chu Qingyao had also gone missing.

When everyone gathered at Wind-Fire Cliff, Xu Lie also entered the capital.

He rushed straight to the Prince Zhi's Mansion and told Xuanyuan Zhi the news that the Tenth Princess had been saved. After Xuanyuan Zhi heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was good as long as royal sister was fine.

Then, with a cold expression and a hint of happiness in his eyes, he asked, "Who did you say saved royal sister?"

Xu Lie was startled, wasn't his voice clear? He was used to staying in the military camp, so he wouldn't whisper too much. He thought that the Prince had deliberately sought to cause trouble for himself because he had seen his Royal Consort, so he changed his expression, "Your Royal Highness, it was the Princess and the Tenth Princess that Man Tianyao had saved."

Time seemed to have calmed down, Xuanyuan Zhi finally said after a long while, "She … Are you all right? "

Prince, are you asking about the wangfei?

Xu Lie said in a dissatisfied tone, "My prince, why didn't you send the dark guards after Princess Hua-Yang went out to protect her? Do you know how dangerous it is? When I returned later, the Princess had just been ambushed by a hawk. "The many eagles on the ground, just by looking at them, are already terrifying."

"Are you hurt?" Xuanyuan Zhi's voice was somewhat anxious.

Xu Lie was a little disdainful, "Your highness doesn't even care about the wangfei, why should I care about her?"

"Xu Lie, pay attention to your identity." Xuanyuan Zhi was furious.

Xu Lie sneered and no longer spoke.

Seeing his indignant face, Xuanyuan Zhileng asked, "Back then, who said that they would not return to the capital if they did not contribute? Is everything that you, Xu Lie, said bullshitting? You have no right to interfere in the matters between This King and Princess Hua-Yang. "

If it was any other matter, then it would definitely be according to the words of the Duke, and on how Xu Lie carried it out. However, when he thought about A You's injured state, he could not control his anger. "Even an eagle could sneak attack an imperial concubine, is that not possible for Realm Owner? Your Highness is really ruthless, you actually gave up on doing anything! "

Xuanyuan Zhi's heart trembled, he was angered: "Xu Lie, who gave you the guts to go against this king, you, immediately head back to the army camp, you cannot stay, if you discover me, remove your status."

Xu Lie laughed bitterly in a silent manner. He spoke while walking out of the room, unconvinced, "Why would Your Highness deceive yourself? I don't believe that Your Highness can't predict how dangerous the position of Wangfei is."

Xuanyuan Zhi stared at his back, his heart panicked for no reason, A Chu... You must definitely arrive at Toxic Sect safe and sound with Man Tianyao. Must...

Suddenly, he asked, "Qi Sha, immediately send someone to find out where the wangfei is!"

"Your Highness, your subordinate will immediately go and handle this matter."

Qi Sha had wanted to do this since a long time ago, but he didn't dare to disobey the King. Now that he was listening to his orders, he was so excited that he ran out. After running a few steps, she asked, "Do you want to bring back the wangfei?"

"You have a lot of things to do, I'm just asking around." Xuanyuan Zhi's words caused Qi Sha's heart to turn cold. As expected, he was overthinking it. He sighed and hurried to get down to business.

In the Southern Duke Palace, Xuanyuan Huo looked at his grandfather who suddenly appeared in front of him, and emotionally stood up, "Grandfather, why are you here?"

"Little Flame, you've been back for so long, and there's no news at all. I can't wait any longer." Han Xiuyuan's face looked like he was about to move, but he secretly blamed Xuanyuan Zhi for throwing him out in the wilderness.

"Grandfather, you're angering me to death! When I came back, although Ol 'Three was the Crown Prince, in terms of strength, I wasn't afraid of him at all. But I never expected that royal father would recover so quickly. If we knew earlier, we would have taken the throne back first. " Xuanyuan Huo had a face full of indignation and unwillingness.

If not for hearing that the emperor had suddenly stood up and walked, Han Xiuyuan would not have taken the risk to enter the city. After hearing that, he said angrily, "The duck we're about to get has flown away again."

"Grandfather, what should we do now?" Xuanyuan Huo smashed onto the table, causing it to break into pieces.

"With your fiery temper, how could you accomplish anything big? You have to learn how to endure. The plan now is to first think of a way to obtain the position of crown prince. With the title of crown prince, there will no longer be any need to worry about the future. " Han Xiuyuan was helpless. He was just one step away and missed the best opportunity.

It was the will of the heavens! Who would have thought that a paralytic would suddenly recover? He was very curious as to who had cured the emperor. "Huo'er, who is the emperor's doctor?"

"Who else? Isn't he Prince Zhi's Concubine? " Xuanyuan Huo's eyes were filled with hatred.

After Han Xiuyuan heard this, he stroked his beard: "No, the doctor must have someone else. Prince Zhi's Concubine will definitely not save him." Just based on the relationship between the roasting king and the Emperor, the Prince Zhi's Concubine would not save him.

If he wanted to save him, he would have done so a long time ago.

Xuanyuan Zhi was shocked, "Grandfather is saying …"

"You've been tricked. If you don't believe me, just ask around, it's definitely not Prince Zhi's Concubine." He had lived most of his life, and he had the analytical ability to do so.

Xuanyuan Huo nodded, indicating that he would investigate.

"How is your matriarch in the palace?" If it were not for the circumstances, he really wanted to see Yan Er during this trip to the capital. Ever since she had entered the palace, she could already count the number of times the father and daughter pair had met each other.

"Grandfather, you can rest assured."

"Let your matriarch definitely get the emperor's favor and become a great help to you." Han Xiuyuan's shrewd and calculating eyes revealed that he was determined to win.

He had always been leading his troops to guard the Yunnan and was unwilling to stay in that small piece of land.

Three days later, when everyone reached the bottom of Wind-Fire Cliff, they immediately went to search, but they couldn't find anyone.

Some disciples of the Toxic Sect saw vines crawling all over the stone walls within three meters above their heads. He immediately flew up to investigate and cried out in shock, "There is a cave above."

After speaking, he waved his long sword and chopped off the vines blocking his line of sight. "After cleaning up, I found that there were actually three caves on the stone wall." Elder, there are many precious herbs growing inside the cave. " The disciples that entered had faces full of pleasant surprise.

When the Toxic Sect heard this, he angrily stomped his feet, "Little bastard, what's the use of having medicinal ingredients? Find the Sect Leader, if you can't find one, then don't come out."

The disciple stayed up all night, and hurriedly fled into the depths of the cave. When the others heard this, they also jumped up.

Not long after, he heard the disciples shouting, "Elder, we've found the Sect Leader! The Sect Leader is here!"

Elder Feng was the first to jump into the cave, rushing forward anxiously. After the other three clan elders heard this, their bodies trembled, and they rushed in. When Hua Ximo heard that he had found Man Tianyao, his heart was filled with joy, thinking that Chu Qingyao was definitely here.

But inside, his heart sank. There was only Man Tianyao. What about Qing Yao? Where did she go?

This was the end of the cave. He ran out like a madman and searched every cave one by one. When he finished searching all the caves, he realized that he was covered in cold sweat. Qing Yao had disappeared …

After coming out, he said to the disciple unwillingly, "You guys go in and search through these four caves again. Don't let a single corner go to waste."

The disciples were startled, but still went back to look obediently. When the sky darkened, the people from Toxic Sect had already carried Man Tianyao to the side of the cave.

Hua Ximo walked over and said to the elders, "It's too late today. Bring him up to the top of the cliff again tomorrow morning, I'll go a distance away to look for Qing Yao."

Of the four clan elders of the Toxic Sect, only the Elder Xue is a woman. She said, "Actually, we have already searched far away, you should rest for a while!"

"I'm not tired." Hua Ximo lifted his leg and left.

The bottom of the cliff was very big, and they had only searched five miles away during the day. He wanted to take advantage of tonight to search further.

They had clearly gone missing at the same time as Man Tianyao, so how could Qing Yao not have found them? Suddenly, a wolf howl came from the distance. Liu Ming's heart trembled and he didn't dare to think any further.

He had no idea where he got the strength from, but he started to run towards the distance. Seeing him leave, the disciples of the Guwu Men also followed after him. In their hearts, Chu Qingyao was a part of the Guwu Men. When something happened to her, it would affect everyone's hearts.

If not for the Sect Leader telling them after they departed, most likely the entire Guwu Men would have followed them here. When something happened to the Guwu Men last time, if it wasn't for Chu Qingyao, how could they have survived? Everyone remembered Chu Qingyao's good points.

Thus, even if they had to die from exhaustion, they had to find the person they were looking for.

Late at night, the cold wind at the bottom of the cliff howled, and soon, a layer of ice appeared on his face. However, they continued to silently search forward. The fire piston was blown by the wind and was extinguished. It was as if everyone's mood had sunk deeper and deeper into the depths of their heart. It was so heavy that no one dared to say a single word.

The weeds beneath his feet rustled. When dawn arrived, a disciple finally could not hold on and sat down in a dispirited manner. Suddenly, he covered his face and started crying.

His emotions moved everyone, and everyone's eyes reddened. Hua Ximo endured the pain in his heart, and roared: "Qing Yao is definitely alive, no one is allowed to cry. If we can't find him, we won't be able to return to the Guwu Men. "

Looking into the boundless distance, Hua Ximo said, "Let's go meet up with the Toxic Sect first." Just as he finished speaking, he saw some people from the Toxic Sect walking over, led by the Elder Xue, she said, "Flowery Sect Head, we found a river over there, but we did not find anyone."

As it turned out, once Hua Ximo left, Toxic Sect had left two elders behind to guard Man Tianyao while the others searched in the other direction.

Others might not know how much the Sect Leader cared about Chu Qingyao, but how could the few elders not know? If they couldn't find him and the head of the sect were to wake up, how could they explain it to him?

Hua Ximo said gratefully, "Thank you Elder Xue, thank you my brothers."

Elder Xue said, "Flowery Sect Head is courteous." Let's go back and see if the Sect Leader has woken up. Maybe he knows where Chu Qingyao is. "

Hua Ximo nodded, and they started to walk back.

On the way, Elder Xue said, "Flowery Sect Head, our Sect Leader also fell down from above, but look at how heavily injured he is! If Chu Qingyao had also fallen from above, she would definitely not have gone so far. "

Hua Ximo was stunned, "Then where is Qingyao? Shuang Ya clearly said that they went missing together. "
