C24 Night assault black cliff stronghold

The sky gradually darkened.

As the sun set in the west, a bright moon gradually rose.

Clouds could be seen occasionally in the sky.

The more night fell, the brighter the moon became. It illuminated the path forward in the darkness.

A team of over thirty people was moving at an extremely fast speed under the moonlight. Their speed far surpassed the limit of ordinary people.

Everyone's feet faintly emitted the lustre of elemental energy, and they would often travel dozens of feet with a single step.

At this rate, we should be able to enter the Black Cliff Mountain Range in around half an hour. At that time, everyone should be on high alert, hiding your presence as much as possible, so as not to alert the enemy! The middle-aged man leading the group had a thin body but was at the sixth level of Natal Opening Realm.

His name was Qiao Heng, and he was Qiao Dong's younger cousin, and one of the top experts within the Qiao Family.

This person's personality was calm and prudent, calm in the face of trouble.

This time, when they went to the Black Cliff Stronghold to rescue Qiao Ruixue, he was the one leading the team.

Behind him were seven or eight disciples of the Qiao Family s. All of them had extraordinary cultivation, and Zhang Chao was in the center of the group.

The twenty odd people behind him were all carefully selected from the Can City's mercenaries. Each of them had a robust stature, their temples were puffed up and the elemental energy fluctuations around their bodies were truly extraordinary.

Amongst these mercenaries, the person with the lowest cultivation had also reached the fourth level of Natal Opening Realm. In comparison, Zhang Chao's cultivation was the lowest in terms of realm.

But none of the disciples of the Qiao Family dared to look down on him.

After all, when they were in the Qiao Family's backyard, Zhang Chao's display of skills was already enough to shock them.

Relying on his third level of Natal Opening Realm, he could easily execute a battle skill, and looking at the extent of his physical consumption, using it a few more times wouldn't be a problem.

This was something that they were naturally unable to accomplish while they were at the third level of Natal Opening Realm.

From these Qiao Family disciples, Zhang Chao gained some understanding of Qiao Dong's son.

His name was Qiao Ruiyun, and was two years older than Qiao Ruixue. He belonged to Qiao Ruixue's older brother, who was another parent, and had been sent to the War God Institute to study since he was young because of his innate talent and intelligence. This time, he had received a message from Qiao Dong, saying that he knew that the Qiao Family was in trouble, so he came back to help him.

As for the War God's College, it was said that it was the place where all the geniuses of the continent gathered. There were many experts in it, but Zhang Chao was not interested in that place.

It was rare for him to not be scolded by the teachers. He had to properly enjoy his free time. Furthermore, it seemed like it would be difficult for him to enter the War God's College even if he were to stand up straight.

However, if there were no special circumstances, he wouldn't have any conflicts with Qiao Ruiyun, even though that guy looked arrogant and cold.

What made Zhang Chao happy was that Qiao Dong gave him a decent commission, a total of eight hundred crystal coin. If he were to forge iron, he would need to forge several hundred weapons to earn that much.

An hour later, the group arrived at the Black Cliff Mountain Range that was shrouded in black clouds.

As soon as they arrived at this place, everyone could feel a ghastly aura everywhere. The wild grass in the mountain range was already as tall as a person, and the bones of beasts and humans could be seen from time to time.

"That mountain peak is where the Black Cliff Stronghold is. The terrain is steep and is hard to attack, I heard that there is only one path leading to the mountain, which is definitely heavily guarded by the bandits!" Qiao Heng pointed to a mountain peak not far away.

"Uh, how do you know this so well?" Zhang Chao rubbed his chin and asked.

"Rumor has it that the main peak of the Black Cliff Stronghold is covered by a black cloud in the sky that never disperses!" Qiao Heng patiently explained.

"Oh, oh!" Zhang Chao raised his head and indeed, there was a large ball of black clouds floating above the mountain peak. It was incredibly heavy and there was even a vague hint of black lightning curling around inside.

"That is truly strange, there must be a problem with the Black Cliff Mountain Range, but from how the group of thieves from Black Cliff Stronghold have been here for so many years, nothing strange has happened, so this problem should not erupt at any time!" A square-faced mercenary narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists and said, "This time, Lord Qiao gave us a reward. Big guy put in a lot of effort. I've been wanting to meet those bunch of scum for a while now!"

"Everyone, don't be rash. Our goal this time is to save them, not to truly start a war with the Black Cliff Stronghold. So you have to act low-key!" Qiao Heng warned.

"But there is only one way up the mountain, how do we enter the Black Cliff Stronghold?" A mercenary asked.

The terrain is steep and ordinary people have no way to climb it. However, we are all experts among the cultivators, and it is not difficult for us to climb the mountain with just our spirit energy. I think we should look for the best way to break through from there! Qiao Heng said in a serious tone.

"Damn, climb the cliff?" That is thousands of feet high! " Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows.

"What is it? Those who believe themselves to be unable to do so, can be reached from the bottom of the mountains! " Qiao Heng replied leisurely.

"How can we do that? I'm pretty good at climbing mountains, right? " Zhang Chao moved his four limbs, licked his lips and sneered: "Furthermore, I still have accounts, so I must properly settle this with the Second Leader!"

"In that case, act!" Li Heng waved his hand. Under the cover of the night, everyone bent their bodies and quickly approached the mountain at the back of the mountain.

The thirty shadows rushed up the cliff quickly and rushed to the top.

What surprised everyone was, Zhang Chao was actually the fastest!

After all, he had lived in the Nine Enlightenment Mountain for sixteen years, and although the terrain there was not as steep as this mountain cliff, it was not too far off. He had to climb up and down the mountain several times a day, and in terms of climbing ability, both the Qiao Family and mercenaries could only hope to catch up.

"Damn, he actually climbed so fast?" In a few breaths of time, Zhang Chao's figure had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

"You ran so fast, what if you hit the grass and alerted the snake?" This fellow, why is he so reckless if he hasn't acted together? " Even the mercenaries frowned.

At this time, Zhang Chao had already reached the peak.

To be honest, he really didn't want to travel with these guys.

The people of Qiao Family all pretended to be noble, using their noses to look at others, and the mercenaries were all arrogant and conceited, their biggest hobby was to compare themselves to other people's fists, a standard group of barbarians, in their company, Zhang Chao felt that he was out of place, or even disgraced by them.

"Hmm? It's so lively! " Standing on the mountain peak and watching, not far away, the village was brightly lit and decorated with lanterns. From time to time, there would even be sounds of laughter.

He did not know that this mountain was called Black Flame Mountain. At this time, Black Flame Mountain was celebrating.

Although Big Beard and a few others had died, to Black Cliff Stronghold, it was not painful at all.

The most important thing was that the Second Leader had brought Qiao Ruixue back.

As for the Lord of the Tulip Family, after seeing Qiao Ruixue, her eyes widened immediately as her heartbeat quickened. For someone like him, who had a high standards, this was the first time she had seen a girl feel this way!

How should he put it, Qiao Ruixue's appearance and body, as well as her unruly spirit, had deeply shocked his heart, and he was immediately moved.

This woman was exactly what he liked!

It would be for the best if she could be his wife!

Even though everyone was trying to persuade him, if he could get rid of this girl on the spot, wouldn't it be better to cook her raw rice?

However, this Demon King of Confusion was a conservative person. He was different from the other bandits in the village. He insisted that he must get married first, worship the heavens and the earth before touching her once he entered the bridal room.

As a result, he dismissed two maids and bandaged Qiao Ruixue's lower leg. He sealed up all the meridians in her body and sent her to the room to take care of her.

To be able to capture such a beautiful wife who was like a fairy, the Second Leader had to be the one in charge. Thus, this celebratory feast was also prepared for the Second Master.

Of course, this was only the reason why everyone was gathered together for a drink. As for a wedding, one had to choose an auspicious day and set up a big event. They also had to invite the head bandit from the other mountains to celebrate.

"Boss, second boss, my future wife, is said to be the precious daughter of the Can City? Now that we're captured, if that group of tycoons from Can City come and snatch us, wouldn't we be in deep trouble? " After three rounds of drinking, one of the underlings shakily asked while holding a wine bowl.

"Hmph, snatch him away? Let them come as they please, I have already prepared a great gift for them, I guarantee that they will not return! " The Demon King of Confusion's mouth curved up, his face flushed red, as he said this with incomparable confidence …
