All Heavens Return

"Steward, I'm back." a man in black hurried into the hall in Jinfu, Qinglong pass, and reported respectfully.

"How's it going?"

"They have left and are expected to arrive at cangmuling before dark."

"Lin family stronghold, it's the territory of Yongfeng escort agency." Jin Kaiyang frowned.

"Lin Letian and Liu Chengfeng are both disciples of Liu Guangshi, the elder of Yongfeng escort agency. Although they have left the escort agency, they are still connected with them secretly. Lin Letian has extraordinary means. Over the years, the Lin family stronghold has grown stronger and stronger. The whole cangmuling mountain can't be poured into by the water he manages. It's by no means the best place to start."

"What old Wu said is very true." Jin Kaiyang nodded and said again,

"It's too close to cangmu ridge. There's no chance to do it. Then we can only wait until it leaves."

"Hunxia Valley" old Wu suddenly said, and then looked at each other.

"Yes, Jin also thought of this place." Jin Kaiyang smiled,

"Hunxia Valley is nearly 50 miles away from cangmuling. It has high mountains, dense forests and dangerous terrain. It is an excellent ambush place."

After a pause, he looked at the man in black next to him again and ordered,

"Tell them to go down and get everyone ready. We'll start tonight."

……

On cangmu ridge, linjiazhai.

A handsome man in a white robe was sitting on the throne of the main hall, listening to the people below.

"So, elder martial brother Liu will be here soon?"

"According to the speed of the escort team, we can arrive before dark."

"It's very good. I'll tell you to go down and prepare meals and drinks and wait for senior brother Liu." the man in white looked happy and ordered immediately.

"Yes, my subordinates." the people below did not hesitate to respond and immediately turned away.

In the main hall, there is not only a man in white, but also more than ten people, men and women, sitting on the seats on both sides below. Hearing the news, they all looked thoughtful.

"Stronghold leader, general escort Liu is strong. So, should that be..." finally, one of the Ge Yi men said.

"You mean?"

The man in white was stunned for a moment and understood each other's meaning in an instant. However, for a time, he was lost in meditation and obviously couldn't make up his mind.

"I heard that Yongfeng escort agency's mission this time is to escort concubine Wei back to China. It's a great responsibility. If there is an accident because of us, wouldn't it be beyond our reach?" another voice was raised, but it was a middle-aged woman in a blue Taoist robe.

"Zheng also heard a little about the affair of concubine Wei. It involves Royal privacy, so we really can't make mistakes. Otherwise, once we get angry today, you and I can't afford it."

"What brother Zheng said is very true. I think I'd better forget it."

“……”

There is a lot of discussion below, and what they say is reasonable. The man in white frowned and then interrupted:

"Let's leave this matter for the time being. When senior brother Liu arrives, I will ask him for his opinions in person."

As the leader of the stronghold, the man in white cannot be refuted since he has made a decision. Although everyone had their own ideas, they didn't say anything more.

It was getting dark. Not far from the foot of the mountain, on the official road, Liu Chengfeng and his party had stopped.

"This is cangmu ridge."

"Beautiful scenery, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is really a good place to build a mountain stronghold."

Chu Feng looked up and saw a lush and towering mountain. The mountain path is narrow. It's very difficult to go up.

"I'll camp at the foot of the mountain tonight. It's not too late to start tomorrow. In addition, I've sent someone to inform me in advance. Younger martial brother Lin has got the news if he wants to come."

Liu Chengfeng explained, and then ordered his subordinates to get busy.

Such a mountain road, in the case of the escort team, naturally can not go up, but can only rest at the foot of the mountain. Chu Feng had no opinion, just nodded, and then walked to the rear alone.

The camp was built soon. AI Nian and Qingyue sisters were busy, cleaning everything in the tent. Chu Feng did not intend to participate in the outside situation and went into his tent to have a rest.

It didn't take long to hear a noise outside. Chu Feng has strong ears. Naturally, he can hear clearly. The stronghold leader Lin has arrived.

After a while, the tent opened, and a traveler came in, followed by several girls dressed as servant girls, each carrying a delicate food box.

"I've met childe Chu. These are the drinks and meals prepared by the leader of Lin stronghold. The chief escort sent his subordinates to bring you some. In addition, the leader of Lin stronghold has heard about you and wants to visit in person later, but I don't know if you agree?"

"Yes." Chu Feng nodded and didn't refuse. Liu Chengfeng is becoming more and more sensible. He knows to consult him first.

"Take your time, childe. My subordinates will leave now."

Put down the things and the man left with several servant girls. Chu Feng waved to AI Nian beside him. The latter immediately understood and opened all the food boxes one by one with the light moon sisters.

I have to say that the leader of Lin stronghold is very attentive. The food is exquisite and fragrant. He has a good appetite just by smelling it.

"You three eat, leave me alone."

"Ah, how can that work!"

AI Nian was fine, but the light moon sisters were all a little surprised. If the master doesn't move, how can they eat first as servant girls.

Unless it is very special and delicious, Chu Feng has no interest in trying. After saying a few words again, the three people were relieved. They took out the meals one by one, surrounded them in a corner and began to enjoy them.

Camp, in another tent.

At this time, Liu Chengfeng is also enjoying delicious food. He has absolute trust in his younger martial brother, so he eats with relish. In front of him sat a handsome man in white, who was Lin Letian, the stronghold leader of the Lin family stronghold.

"What kind of person is this childe of Chu? Why did you let the elder martial brother be so careful that he had to ask in advance when meeting?" Lin Letian put down his glass and asked in some confusion.

"He is the life-saving benefactor of me and even the whole escort team." Liu Chengfeng looked positive and explained,

"Things have to start from the desert of despair. Everything was going well, but unfortunately, I met an evil beast when I came back..."

After some explanation, Lin Letian suddenly realized that such a powerful existence, no wonder senior brother respected him so much.

"Elder martial brother thinks that this son of Chu is likely to be a disciple who goes up and down the mountain?"

"More than that." Liu Chengfeng shook his head slightly,

"You and I have heard about the last case. If you are just an ordinary disciple, you may not have such terrible strength. Those evil beasts have no ability to resist in their hands, and they will be wiped out in an instant."

Lin Letian took a breath. Indeed, he still thought it was too simple. But, if not an ordinary disciple, who would it be? Is it true disciples, or even elders?

"In that case, would it be disrespectful for me to visit rashly without any preparation?"

"It doesn't matter. Childe Chu is kind-hearted and reasonable. Since he has agreed to see you, he will not blame anything." Liu Chengfeng smiled and said with relief.

"That's good. I hope elder martial brother can bear it later."

"You, my martial brother, why are you so outspoken."

After a pause, Lin Letian suddenly remembered something and said:

"Elder martial brother, do you remember Yin Feng Valley?"

"What happened?"

Liu Chengfeng wondered why the other party suddenly mentioned there.

Yin Feng Valley, of course, he knows that it is located in the deep part of cangmu ridge, a very special deep valley. There is no sunshine all year round and the miasma is very serious. People will feel uncomfortable after staying in there for a long time.

"To tell you the truth, just a few days ago, an area of Yinfeng Valley suddenly collapsed, revealing a strange cave, which was full of Yin wind and accompanied by a shrill howl." Lin Letian paused for a moment and then said again,

"I took people to explore. As a result, the people in front of me suddenly fell unconscious before they were near the cave. Until now, they have all died."

"Dead? What's the cause of death?" Liu Chengfeng frowned,

"I'm not sure." Lin Letian shook his head,

"There is no wound all over the body. However, it seems that he is asleep and has no breath."

Things are really strange. Liu Chengfeng is well-informed. Unfortunately, he can't figure out the reason.

"What do you think?"

"After discussion, the biggest possibility is that it is related to the underground cave. However, we are not strong enough to enter rashly. We really don't know how to investigate."

Liu Chengfeng was silent. Even though he relied on his strength, he was still not sure in the face of this strange place. It's so strange in that crypt that there may be something terrible.

"I can probably guess one or two of your thoughts, but this time my task is very heavy and I really have no time to separate myself."

Liu Chengfeng only thought for a while and made a decision immediately. In his current situation, he really can't take the risk.

However, he also understood each other's concerns. There was such a terrible place around him. If he didn't figure it out, he was afraid he couldn't even sleep at night.

He suddenly thought of Chu Feng. With each other's strong strength, he thought he would be interested in this mysterious place.

Seeing the younger martial brother's anxious look, he said again,

"You don't have to worry too much. You might as well explain to childe Chu later. Maybe there's a turn for the better."

"Young Master Chu, yes. Although the crypt is strange, it may also be a relic, which must have a great attraction for the existence of young master Chu. Moreover, as a disciple of shangzong, there must be some mysterious means, that is, it is not difficult to enter the * * Department of the underground cave."

Lin Letian suddenly looked happy. Why didn't he think of this?

"To tell you the truth, elder martial brother, I've had a headache for a long time for this matter. I'm afraid there will be something terrible in it. In that case, we must be in danger in cangmuling. It's a pity that we haven't found a solution."

"The strength is poor, which is also a helpless thing." Liu Chengfeng nodded, suddenly put down his chopsticks and said,

"It's almost time. You and I will set out now to visit childe Chu."

The camp was not large, and they had arrived in front of the tent where Chu Feng was located within a short time. The curtain was lifted and a beautiful woman came out.

"I've seen Miss Qingyue. Is childe Chu free now?"

"Lead escort Liu, my host invites you in." Qingyue smiled and whispered back.

"Thank you."

Entering the tent, Liu Chengfeng was nothing, but Lin Letian was a little curious. His eyes stared at someone sitting in the center and looked at him constantly.

"I've met childe Chu. This is my younger martial brother Lin Letian." after standing still, Liu Chengfeng led a salute and introduced him.

Chu Feng nodded and immediately looked at the man in white. The latter immediately reacted and said with great respect,

"Younger Lin Letian, I've seen the elder."

"Don't be so polite. Just like Chengfeng, just call me childe." waved his hand and motioned them to be free.

Seeing the friendly attitude of the other party, Lin Letian was relieved and dared not even say. Until Liu Chengfeng persuaded a few words, he was relieved to answer.

Naturally, there were no seats in the tent. AI Nian took two cushions and paved them. Then they sat cross legged.

"I heard Chengfeng mention that he has a younger martial brother Lin, who has outstanding talent and has made great achievements in the way of practice. When I saw him today, it was not empty."

"Thank you for your praise. It's all the love of senior brother. It's a bit exaggerated." Lin Letian quickly shook his head. He was very clear about his strength. There was still a gap compared with senior brother.

"Younger martial brother is really extraordinary. At least he has much more potential than me. This is what master said himself." Liu Chengfeng is still generous in praising, which makes the latter a little embarrassed.

Chu Feng smiled and thought that the relationship between the two brothers was really good. No wonder Liu Chengfeng trusted him so much.

The original purpose of Lin Letian's visit is very simple. First, he wants to thank the other party for saving his senior brother and the escort team. Second, he also wants to see the style of shangzong.

But now it's different. After some greetings, he said what he thought.

"Forgive me, sir. I came here to visit you. I didn't ask for anything else. However, after hearing about your identity and strong strength, I thought of something that might interest you."

"Oh, tell me about it?"

Chu Feng knew that Liu Chengfeng had always mistakenly thought that he was from shangzong and came down the mountain in disguise. Lin Letian must be the same.

It's just that what the other party said he would be interested in, what would it be?

"Here's the thing."

Lin Letian will tell us in detail about the cave suddenly found in the depths of cangmu ridge. There is no trace of concealment of all kinds of information during this period, and all of them are completely revealed.

Of course, this is also his intelligence. In his opinion, since this childe of Chu comes from shangzong and has an incomprehensible mysterious means, it is naturally possible to find anything. If he conceals it, he may be self defeating.

"Yin Feng Valley, crypt?"

Chu Feng frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, there was such a thing? Quietly take people's lives, there is no wound, but this is some meaning.

"Do you think this is a relic left by our ancestors?"

"We're just guessing. After all, the relics of our ancestors are rare. There are only legends on the mainland, but few people have really seen them." Lin Letian paused and suddenly went on,

"You should know that we practitioners are sensitive to danger. The situation there is strange and always gives people a gloomy and terrible feeling. If you really want to investigate, you must be more careful."
