Chapter 1549: Chapter 1549 Everyone Is Here

Finally, they maneuvered around the mountainside and safely reached the top of the cliff.

Gan Shiyi retrieved the rope that had been hidden in the grass beforehand.

"Miss, Leader Fu, go down along this path, and you’ll find brothers waiting for you below."

Below is the river path. If they hadn’t prepared a small boat for pickup, there would be no way down.

This time, the only way into the city is these treacherous paths, showing how heavily guarded the Imperial City is?

"What about you?" Chu Qianli looked at Shiyi.

"I need to stay behind to deal with some traces, but rest assured. Tomorrow, I can enter the city openly. I have a way, so don’t worry about me."

Chu Qianli and Fu Long nodded before starting their descent along the rope.

Shiyi, of course, had his ways; otherwise, he couldn’t have contacted the brothers inside the city so easily.

However, as of now, the situation in the city is indeed quite grim. The real danger starts after entering the city.

"I’ll go first, you stay above." Fu Long, worried about any accidents for Chu Qianli, took the lead in descending the rope.

Once Fu Long was sure everything was safe below, he looked up and shouted to her, "Ali, come down quickly!"

"Alright."

Chu Qianli gripped the rope and leaped down.

Fu Long walked beneath her, and with much caution, they finally landed on the small boat at the bottom of the cliff.

Fu Long landed on the deck first, but before Chu Qianli came down, he suddenly warned, "Don’t come down!"

Chu Qianli instantly gripped the rope and looked downward.

Below, it was pitch black, and she couldn’t see anything, but she could hear the sounds of a fight.

Were Fu Long and the brothers below fighting?

What was going on?

Chu Qianli frowned slightly, withdrew a short blade with a swish, and gripped the rope with one hand as she descended.

Quickly, Chu Qianli stood firm on the deck, slashing her blade at the man in black entangled with Fu Long.

That man in black turned around, barely dodging a punch from Fu Long, not expecting Chu Qianli’s blade to be so close.

The man in black urgently cried out, "Miss Chu, it’s me! I’m Leng Ji!"

Chu Qianli’s expression changed. She twisted her wrist and quickly withdrew her blade.

The blade’s force was too overpowering; even though she pulled back eighty percent of its strength, twenty percent still landed on Leng Ji’s arm.

A ripping sound followed as Leng Ji failed to retreat in time, and his arm was grazed by the blade’s wind.

"Leng Ji, what do you mean by this?" Chu Qianli stowed the blade into the Universe Chain and quickly approached Leng Ji.

Under the faint moonlight, she could see the crimson cut on Leng Ji’s arm oozing blood.

"Miss Chu, you’re finally here!" Leng Ji was almost in tears!

He had struggled to track down the whereabouts of Gan Shiyi’s brothers.

He had followed and lost them several times, going through much hardship to arrive here.

"You knew I was coming?" Chu Qianli exchanged glances with Fu Long, but she couldn’t hide the anxiety in her heart, "Where is your Prince?"

"It’s a long story, but Miss Chu, Jingri and Wangyue are in the city. We’ll talk after we regroup!"

Leng Ji turned back and gently patted the brother who was rowing the boat.

That brother’s acupoint was released by him, and he quickly came over to greet Chu Qianli, "Miss, Leader Fu."

"No need to speak, let’s leave this place first, it’s not safe here."

Fu Long glanced at that brother.

The brother immediately took up a long bamboo pole.

Leng Ji said, "Miss Chu, let me take you to see Jingri and Wangyue!"
