Chapter 236: What Was This Place (I)

The counterguard emerged soon, which just was right above Songye River.

Looking down from the counterguard, Long Xiaoyuan and Liu Suifeng saw Songye River’s roaring waves.

It was thus clear that Songye River certainly had vortexes and turbulent flows at the bottom. Anyone who jumped into Songye River probably couldn’t climb out…

But Long and Liu had no other choice at present.

Looking at the torrential river below, Long got a little bit nervous.

Liu still kept calm, with the black dagger held to Zhou Heng’s throat, “Step back, Song Cailian.”

Song frowned, “Oh? How far?”

“Ten steps.” Liu answered coldly.

“That’s impossible.” Song shook her head, “In case you jump down without letting Zhou Heng off, what can I do then? I won’t step back. Liu Suifeng, you know that you have no chance to go back on your words even if you jump down, because I have other ways to kill you if you dare to kill him.”

Liu frowned without saying anything.

Song gave a coquettish laugh, “For example, I can throw a detonator to you when you fall into the river… If you don’t kill him, I will be busy saving him, and your lives… hehe, depend on whether you climb out of Songye River first or we find you first…”

Knowing what Song said was true, Liu looked at Long, “You jump.”

Looking serious, Long shook his head, “Let’s jump together.”

Liu frowned, “No, you first.”

“Liu Suifeng, I’m worried about you.” Long directly responded, “Your life belongs to Ouyang Chuan, and I won’t let you die here.”

Liu felt moved in the heart. He really considered to let Long jump and flee by risking his life to fight. If he could kill both Song and Zhou here, nobody would chase them. Liu didn’t expect Long would say those words.

Giving a bitter smile, Long felt touched, “Okay, Let’s jump together.”

Long nodded. Then Liu seized Zhou to go backward for two steps, and Song also went ahead for two steps.

Glancing at each other, Long and Liu both jumped down after Liu pushed Zhou hard.

Song caught Zhou immediately without keeping eyes on Long and Liu who were falling.

At the moment, Long and Liu fell into the water after Liu just held Long’s hand.

The huge vortex and flowing river completely buried Long and Liu, and then washed them away…

Glancing at the river, Song took Zhou into the cave with a frown.

Things searched out from Liu’s clothes were all placed in the cave…

However, Song and Zhou still underestimated Shi Qingzhou and shadow guardians.

Just when Song took Zhou into the cave, Shi and shadow guardians had arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

In addition, several shadow guardians had flown toward the cave…

At the moment, Song just found those things of Shi and put a pill in a red jade bottle into Zhou’s mouth after distinguishing the right medicine from the wrong ones.

After a while, shadow guardians came.

However, Zhou also got better at the moment.

Song was very surprised at the appearance of shadow guardians.

Shadow guardians saw clearly the situation in the cave. Without finding the two persons they were looking for, shadow guardians decided to capture Song and Zhou first.

Violent attacks were launched in the cave. The shadow guardians could have a good fight without worrying about anything this time. And the limited space in the cave also influenced the application of Song’s quirky flying skills. Soon Song and Zhou were surrounded by shadow guardians…

Although Zhou got better, the antidote only could start working under the influence of the internal force. It meant Zhou wasn’t in the best state.

However, facing so many shadow guardians in the cave, Zhou had no time to absorbing the antidote with his internal force.

Shi and Ouyang came at the moment.

Shi’s eyes turned red, so did Ouyang. The difference was that Ouyang’s eyes turned red because of anxiety and rage.

Song didn’t expect Shi and shadow guardians came so fast. At present, the outlet of the cave had been sealed, so the cave was totally different with the open environment in the mansion of Landlord Wang.

Song and Zhou seemed to stay in a closed room, the only outlet of which had been blocked by their enemies.

It was just like catching turtles in a pot.

Even so, Song and Zhou were not arrested until a whole hour at the expense of the death of two shadow guardians and injuries of more than ten shadow guardians.

But Song only had a last breath left, so did Zhou.

Both of Song and Zhou were tied up, with their martial arts destroyed.

Staring at those two enemies who looked like dead dogs, Shi uttered several words coldly, “Where are they?”

“Hehe… hehe…” Song sneered, “You will never meet them… ever… Let us go… otherwise they will die right away.”

“Won’t you tell the truth?” Shi looked cold, with the blood red in his eyes being a little coquettishly enchanting.

“I’ll see how long you can bear.” Shi stared at them as if they were already dead. “Ying Feng, interrogate them.”

“Yes.”

The cave was clear at a glance. It could be sure that Long and Liu were not here.

Shi walked inside to look for clues.

Ouyang followed Shi.

They soon found a place behind the cave.

Seeing footprints on the ground, Shi and Ouyang ran to the location behind the cave.

Then they saw the counterguard.

With the heart beating fast, Shi suddenly looked down under the guidance of a strong intuition.

Next, Shi saw Songye River.

Ouyang also stared at Songye River blankly before muttering, “Suifeng… ”

Two shadow guardians who followed them here said immediately, “Master, we’ll go downhill to make a search immediately.”

Shi took a deep breath, “Bring the two here.”

Song and Zhou were brought here soon.

“They jumped down, didn’t they?” Shi asked with a flat tone.

Song’s expression changed slightly before she laughed out loud. An institution told her that she would die today.

With her internal force destroyed, she knew it was their mistake not to kill Long and Liu in time.

As a matter of fact, Song and Zhou, became over confident due to continuous success.

In particular, Zhou had been making trouble in Songye City for more than a month, but he fled successfully every time. On one hand, Zhou thought poorly of people from the imperial family, on the other hand he took a fancy to Long and Liu and wanted to kill them after enjoying them.

As a result, Zhou bought time for Shi and shadow guardians…

Song and Zhou despised the imperial family, which was the reason that they lost their lives as the cost.

If there was a chance to start over, both Song and Zhou would kill Long and Liu at the first time, instead of having the mood to play games with them.

However, they couldn’t start over.

Foreseeing her death, Song laughed wildly, “Your Grace, are you pleased by killing us? Hehe, what of it even if you kill us? You’re right that they had jumped down. I can tell you that their internal forces had been destroyed too. So, hehe… do you think they will survive? They probably had been drowned by Songye River. Although we die, our master is still alive. There are countless people like us in the world. Tianlong Dynasty is going to disappear, hehe, disappear!”
