Chapter 3090: The Rebellion at the Top of the Cliff
The setting sun was setting in the west, and its blood-like light not only rendered the entire sky bright red, but also rendered everything under the sky the same color.
To the west of Yelindi Mountain is a steep cliff of tens of thousands of feet. Under the cliff is the rolling Beihan River. The Beihan River is not only famous for its turbulent water, but also because there is a unique river in this river.
With this suction force, anything flying in the air will be sucked into the river.
Some people say that there is a special formation at the bottom of this river, and another theory is that there is a rare mineral vein at the bottom of this river, but these claims have not been confirmed.
Of course, the most notorious thing about the Beihan River is the "boning fish" that is famous throughout the mainland.
This fish is only found in the Beihan River. It is said that every boning fish is bred at the source of the Beihan River. It is shrouded in cold air all year round, and the boning fish is born in that harsh environment full of ice floes.
Then go down the river to look for food.
Because the surrounding animals and even monsters were being sucked into the river, there was no shortage of food for the eviscerating fish in the river.
When this eviscerating fish grows to adulthood, it can reach the level of about four to five levels of monsters. Although the combat power of a single fish is not terrible, once they appear, there are often at least hundreds of them. Just imagine that there are hundreds of them densely packed together.
Thousands of fourth- to fifth-level boning fish attacking one target at the same time will make people feel chilling.
So don't say that a strong man in the cultivation stage cannot survive if he falls into the Beihan River. It is even said that a strong man in the Yu Nian stage accidentally fell into the river during a battle, and was eventually eaten clean without any bones left.
Therefore, the name of this boning fish is not accurate, because the prey they attack does not even have bones left.
At this moment, standing on the cliff extending far to the west side of the top of Emperor Mountain, warriors and family members belonging to various families are looking uneasily at the Beihan River below. People with good eyesight can even see that in the river below
Schools of boning fish swimming in schools.
The rays of the setting sun shone on the river, making it look like it was dyed red with blood. Many people couldn't help but sobbing quietly the moment they saw the river.
A large number of these people remembered the fierce battle in the middle of Mount Dishan. Most of their family members stayed in the middle to resist the Qianhuan Sect's attack. They may still be fighting to the death at this time, or they may have died now.
For the corpse, all the blood has been drained.
Although these people escaped from the battlefield in the middle of Mount Di, they are still not out of danger. The ferocity of the enemy's offensive, regardless of their number or level of cultivation, made these people present deeply understand that they had no chance of winning.
Now that everyone has reached the top of the Imperial Mountain, it is like falling into a dead end. When the enemy comes, if they don't want to kill them at their necks, they will have no choice but to jump off the cliff in front of them.
Beyond the cliff is a powerful trap formation. Even those who are made of copper and iron will be smashed into powder even if they are thousands of meters away. Even if they fall into the Beihan River alive, what awaits them is a pick that can easily chew even their bones.
Bone fish.
People now at the top of the cliff feel like ordinary people trapped on top of a burning restaurant. The flames are burning up from below, and everyone can only escape upward. But in the end the fire will burn up, then
Apart from being burned alive by the flames, the other option was to jump from the building and fall to death.
At first, women and children hugged each other in fear and quietly wiped away tears. However, as time went by, more and more cries were mixed together, making the top of Mount Dishan a gloomy mist.
Finally, someone couldn't hold it any longer and suddenly shouted loudly: "Why do you want us to come here? Are you just letting us wait here to die?"
"That's right, what do you mean by the order of the king and his wife Xiao Yue? Do you want us to be used as bait?"
"What are your intentions? If you want to wipe out my Zeng family, just give them a nice word. Why do you want to trick us into waiting for death here?"
"Master Zeng is right. Our Liu family also wants an explanation. Could it be that we are being used as bait here to attract enemies?"
"Our Li family fully supported the Ye family back then. Are you planning to kick us away today?"
In such an environment, when someone speaks, more people immediately echo him. Everyone has fear and anxiety in their hearts, so when someone speaks, this emotion seems to have found an outlet, and everyone unanimously points the finger.
Pointing to the Ye family and Xiao family who led everyone to move here.
Everyone who can be transferred here from the central area of Emperor Mountain can be regarded as a pillar family of the Ye Lin Empire, and their identity and status are second only to the Ye family and the Xiao family.
If they were in normal times, they would not offend the Ye family and the Xiao family if they singled out any one family. However, they are now at a life-and-death critical moment, and everyone has expressed dissatisfaction. This kind of emotion has gotten out of control in a short period of time.
signs.
Although there were several Xiao Yue's personal followers present, apart from being responsible for bringing people to move here, they did not know any other more specific plans. Therefore, facing the violent crowd, these women could only act anxiously, but they were helpless.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, a sharp roar came from the distance. The moment the sound sounded, the voices that originally expressed dissatisfaction stopped abruptly, as if a duck that was quacking indiscriminately was suddenly heard by someone.
It was as if he was choking his neck violently.
Along with the sharp roar, a fiery red figure illuminated everyone's faces like another sun, as if the blood of the setting sun had faded a bit at this time.
Everyone didn't need to look, just by hearing the arrogant and domineering Li Xiao, they already knew the identity of the person coming. The moment the people of the Xiao family present saw the person coming, joy appeared on their faces unconsciously.
They were already very dissatisfied with the words of those people before, but because there were too many families expressing dissatisfaction and everyone was on fire, it was difficult for them to come forward to suppress them.
"Xiao Yue, it's great that you're here. These guys are so presumptuous that they are discussing the rights and wrongs between you and the king behind your back."
From the ranks of the Xiao family, an old man immediately walked out. This man belonged to the same generation as Xiao Yue's father. His words were naturally spoken in the tone of an elder lecturing a younger generation.
At this time, Xiao Yue's face was covered with frost, and she was completely different from when she was talking to Ye Tao before. She ignored the people who had just shouted, but instead waited for the old man in front of her, and said coldly: "I will let everyone
The family came here with no more than four hundred people, how many people did you bring?"
The old man was slightly startled. Apparently he didn't expect that Xiao Yue, who had just arrived, did not get angry at other family members, but instead questioned him first.
This old man's name is Xiao Yigang, he is the eldest elder of the Xiao family, and his status in the Xiao family is second only to Xiao Yue's father. Now being questioned by Xiao Yue in front of everyone, his face was obviously a little worried, and he said with a pinched neck:
"Since there is a way to retreat, of course our Xiao family can go as far as we want. Those are your family members. Do you want them to die down there?"
Seeing that Xiao Yigang in front of him did not admit his mistake at all, Xiao Yue nodded, then turned to look at the other Ye family, and said at the same time: "Same question, let me ask the Ye family if they have the same attitude as Xiao Yigang.
?”
Faced with Xiao Yue's questions, the Ye family became silent. No one in their current team dared to reply casually. The first elder, fourth elder, fifth elder and sixth elder were facing the enemy in front. The second elder and
The third elder went to Xinghuntian County to quell the chaos. Now, no one in the Ye family's ranks is from the Elders' Court.
"To tell you Madam, our Ye family also wanted to save a little more, so... we disobeyed our orders!"
Among the people of the Ye family, someone finally stood up slowly and answered with an uneasy tone.
Xiao Yue also knew the person who spoke. He was the son of the eldest elder Ye Hongcheng. He had a low status in the Ye family, but because of his father, he was quite popular.
Xiao Yue nodded, and then glanced around the various family teams, including those who unconsciously dodge when facing Xiao Yue's gaze.
Even the most ferocious families that were clamoring just now, such as the Zeng family, the Li family and the Liu family, all behaved much more humbly at this time.
Although these people were wary of the identity of Mrs. Xiao Yue Empire, what they were even more wary of was her grandfather, the strongest man in the Ye Lin Empire, Xiao Kuangzhan.
At this time, Ye Tao had also arrived. His speed was slower than that of his mother. Although he arrived a step later, he already had a general understanding of the situation here from the other people who accompanied the mother.
He came straight to his mother and said with a gloomy face: "Mother, these guys are too arrogant, and now they don't even take you seriously. I think they don't have any king in their eyes.
This eldest elder of the Xiao family seems to have replaced the head of the Xiao family, so I need to talk to my great-grandfather about this."
While Ye Tao was speaking, he deliberately glanced at Xiao Yigang from the corner of his eye. After hearing this, Xiao Yigang's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he swallowed dryly, as if what he swallowed was not saliva.
, but like a fly.
Now he wants to slap himself in the face, but it doesn't matter if he offends Xiao Yue. After all, Xiao Yue always puts the overall situation first, and even if he goes too far, he will not let her care too much.
But the Ye Tao in front of him was extremely loved by Xiao Kuangzhan. If the other party really came to stir up trouble with the strongest man in the empire, don't say that he was in the wrong. Even if he was in the right, he would inevitably suffer.
"Your Highness Ye Tao, please calm down. I was just out of impulse and just talking nonsense. Please don't care about me and treat me like a fart with your noble hands!"
As Xiao Gangyi spoke, his body bent deeply, almost hitting his head on the ground. But Ye Tao turned his body to one side and said at the same time: "You haven't offended me, why should you apologize to me? You are the elder."
, I can’t bear it!”
Xiao Gangyi reacted quickly. He immediately turned around and saluted Xiao Yue, apologizing and saying: "Madam, I'm sorry, I was reckless just now. I hope you don't argue with me."
Seeing Xiao Gangyi's embarrassed look, Xiao Yue couldn't help but glare at her son. Although this boy was venting his anger on her mother's behalf, he couldn't encourage him to act like this.
After all, Ye Tao will become the leader of the country in the future, so he must follow certain rules when doing things, and the leader of a country cannot rely on the influence of others to intimidate his subordinates.
