Chapter 1692: Chapter 1311: This Path Leaves the Cliff, Named No Return
Watching the expressions on the faces of the Hidden World Clan, as if they’ve eaten cat feces, the rage in Gu Changsheng’s heart suddenly dissipated completely!
At this moment, Yu Lianyi turned her head and showed Gu Changsheng a dazzling smile!
That smile, appearing on Yu Lianyi’s still pale face, was indescribably malicious!
Almost immediately, Gu Changsheng understood the meaning behind Yu Lianyi’s expression...
She did it on purpose!
She intentionally revealed the truth so blatantly in front of the Hidden World Clan people, not to stop Gu Changsheng from clashing with them, but rather, she knew exactly what method could most effectively knock down the pride of the Hidden World Clan people...
Just like now!
It’s no wonder she hails from the Hidden World Clan—no one understands the thoughts of the Hidden World Clan better than Yu Lianyi. Their self-deception has reached a certain level, and had Yu Lianyi not exposed the truth with a single sentence, they would never believe that everything Gu Changsheng said was true!
Well, now it’s good; the facts will not change because of the Hidden World Clan people’s self-deception, and with a turn of events, don’t they now owe a debt to Gu Changsheng as their savior?
At this point, it seems a bit late for the Hidden World Clan members to try to deny it!
Gu Changsheng suddenly did not want to waste time here with the Hidden World Clan people!
Because wasting time with them is simply wasting life!
"Well done!" Giving Yu Lianyi a thumbs up, Gu Changsheng reached out, pulled up Yu Lianyi, and turned to walk toward the riverbank...
Without turning her head back, not even glancing at the Hidden World Clan members, Gu Changsheng and her two companions flew straight across the river, leveraging the sliced snake skin a few times during the crossing, entirely leaving the Hidden World Clan people behind, leaving them disarrayed in the wind by the river...
Not only that, although Gu Changsheng didn’t want to waste any more time with the Hidden World Clan people, she still didn’t want them to have it easy...
For instance, every time she took leverage, Gu Changsheng would, as if venting, wave the Chonghua Dagger in her hand, smashing the snake skin pieces she used as stepping stones into fragments...
What does it mean to burn bridges after crossing the river?
This is what it means!
Moreover, with a near-venting demeanor, every time Gu Changsheng smashed a piece of snake skin, she would glance back at those behind her and sneer, with an expression in her eyes that was so evident, as if saying...
Don’t you want the snake skin? I’m telling you, no way! I’d rather smash it and feed it to the fish than let you touch it! That’s just how willful it is!
Standing by the riverbank, still not recovered from the chaos, the Hidden World Clan members saw Gu Changsheng’s reaction. In that moment, all their entanglement and embarrassment vanished instantly, their faces flushed like pig livers as they pointed at Gu Changsheng crossing the river, grinding their teeth...
"Gu Changsheng! Dreadful woman!"
"Simply... simply..."
"..."
Can they not be angry? Having gone through such an ordeal, they ended up being stepped on without dignity by Gu Changsheng. What they aimed for was nothing less than that indestructible giant python snake skin?
Well, now it’s gone; they’ve lost face and credibility, and Gu Changsheng even smashed the snake skin right in front of them into the river...
Showcasing power!
Utterly bullying!
But what can they do? What can they do?
Watching Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s trio already cross the river and return, if they don’t follow soon, they’ll lose their trail...
This is not the outcome they desire!
So, even though they were about to explode with rage, the Hidden World Clan members still gritted their teeth and searched for things like planks and branches that float and can be used for leverage, each lugging and carrying as they headed to the river...
Humiliation!
Never has there been such a humiliating affair!
Being stepped upon harshly, yet they could do nothing about it and had to trail behind Gu Changsheng’s trio as if they were tailing someone!
For a moment, even the Hidden World Clan members couldn’t help but feel doubt inside, feeling like they had a tendency to seek abuse!
But they had no choice; without Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, given how extraordinary they were, they felt very insecure at the bottom of Intestine-Breaking Cliff!
Returning to the starting point, the two obviously disconnected groups reunited once more, and the atmosphere was so awkward it’s beyond description...
Gu Changsheng was quite calm, after all, she wasn’t the one to feel awkward...
But the Hidden World Clan members were different...
However, Gu Changsheng didn’t have time to consider their feelings—her only goal now was to find that lost Key and to additionally search for a way out from the Bottom of the Cliff...
Along the path, each person with their own thoughts, they once again began their search...
But to their disappointment, until they returned to Intestine-Breaking Cliff, where they had been chased down by Man-eating Ants, they found absolutely nothing along the way...
"Darn it, is this a joke on me?" Having searched around the Bottom of the Cliff and found nothing, Gu Changsheng instantly felt irritated, unable to help but curse quietly!
This was a round trip, after all, seeing her journey to Intestine-Breaking Cliff seemed to be ending up with nothing!
Not only that, they haven’t even found a way out!
Is this not only going to be fruitless but also trapped at the bottom of the cliff?
NO! This is not the result Gu Changsheng wants!
But reality is so cruel!
It makes Gu Changsheng beat her chest and stomp her feet!
"Look, the cliff wall!"
But just when Gu Changsheng was frustrated and helpless, a low and alluring voice sounded above her head!
Almost at the moment she heard her evildoer’s voice, Gu Changsheng looked up and glanced at the cliff wall of the Intestine-Breaking Cliff...
Earlier, when they were chased by Man-eating Ants and hurried down the cliff, they were just focused on escaping for their lives, so where was the time to look at anything else?
Now, as they returned and stood at the bottom of the Intestine-Breaking Cliff looking up, the scene was different!
Only to see the towering Intestine-Breaking Cliff, seemingly endless, piercing straight into the firmament, and on that cliff wall, unbelievably, there were words carved into it!
The characters were so large that even from a distance, standing at the bottom of the Intestine-Breaking Cliff, they could see them clearly!
"This road is blocked?"
Looking at the four large characters on the cliff wall, Gu Changsheng felt a chill; all the blood in her body rushed to her head as those words were read out!
Blocked road?
Isn’t this supposed to be a signboard?
But why would such a signboard be in such a place, only to be seen after they made a detour?
So is this a sign of a futile effort again?
However, Gu Changsheng does not doubt the authenticity of the words carved on the cliff wall at all, because as she strained her eyesight power to look up, all she saw was a void, proving that this cliff wall holds great mystery; it seems easy to come down but difficult to go up, and this road is indeed blocked!
"This road is blocked? The sheer cliff at the top is impossible to climb; are we doomed to be trapped at the bottom of this Intestine-Breaking Cliff?"
"No, no, no! I don’t want to die here! We escaped all those Man-eating Ants; I don’t want to be trapped here!"
"..."
At almost the moment they saw the signboard, the hearts of those young disciples from the Hidden World Clan collapsed, each face filled with a look of utter despair, wailing like ghosts and wolves!
Gu Changsheng stared at the signboard for a while, ignoring the noisy sounds behind her, then turned around, grabbed Zhou Mu by one hand and Yu Lianyi by the other, and started walking!
Without saying a word, Gu Changsheng’s bright little face was full of determination!
She firmly believed that there must be a way out; since they could get down the Intestine-Breaking Cliff, they must be able to go up!
And the appearance of the sign on the cliff wall is too abrupt, the intention too obvious!
"Changsheng?" Zhou Mu’s face, as though a God Emperor, held a hint of doubt; he didn’t expect his little woman to give up so easily. With her temperament, even knowing there are tigers in the mountain, she would lean towards the tiger.
"This road is blocked, then there must be a way up the cliff!" Without glancing at her evildoer, Gu Changsheng spoke with determination, tugging the two along the edge of the bottom of the cliff, her eyes continually searching the cliff wall...
Since someone carved ’This road is blocked’ on the cliff wall, with their nature, they certainly wouldn’t carve just that one place!
The blocked road is a dead end; then there must be a way for survival!
It’s just unknown whether this path to life is genuine or not!
This time, Gu Changsheng didn’t search for long; after only a quarter of an hour, she stopped in front of the cliff wall!
When they saw Gu Changsheng stop, Zhou Mu and Yu Lianyi couldn’t help but follow her gaze upward...
"This path leads out of the cliff, named No Return?"
With eyebrows slightly knitted, Gu Changsheng looked at the sudden appearance of a few words on the cliff wall, and a large arrow beneath them, her bright little face full of seriousness...
Indeed, there is a way out of the valley!
However, this signboard clearly has a problem!
Sure enough, Gu Changsheng followed the direction indicated by the arrow, approached the cliff wall, raised her hand, and swept away the tangled vines, revealing a huge cave entrance at the bottom of the cliff...
Looking at the huge cave entrance and the path extending inside, Gu Changsheng’s eyebrows furrowed...
"This path leads out of the cliff! This path leads out of the cliff! Here’s the way out of the Intestine-Breaking Cliff, right here!"
Just as Gu Changsheng was scrutinizing this mountain passage, her eyebrows tightly knitted, an excited voice sounded from behind her. In the next moment, countless silhouettes rushed toward the cave entrance, so fast that Gu Changsheng couldn’t even utter the words of warning she intended to say...
"Damn it! Rushing to their deaths!" Watching the members of the Hidden World Clan dive headfirst into the cave, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse!
Do these people ever use their brains when they go out?
They only saw the first half of the phrase ’This path leads out of the cliff’; didn’t they see the latter half?
