Chapter 411 The Impassable Ditch
Ye Yang gently wiped his long sword and said, "Killing your father-in-law? If you can bring yourself to do it, go ahead."
I can't even talk to Ye Yang about anything; that guy just likes to shove nails into people's mouths, choking you so you can't say a word.
However, Ye Yang also gave me a clear attitude!
If entering the forbidden area is just a condition for breaking off the engagement, we don't mind taking the risk.
But if the Meng family is trying to use me as cannon fodder, then the Liangjie Tang and the Meng family will inevitably have to fight to the finish, until death.
While I was still silent, Ye Yang said softly, "Someone's here!"
When I looked out through the ventilation hole, there were already four teams of people in the snowy field.
The four teams added up to a scale of more than two hundred people. Although they were heading in the same direction, they were clearly separated, not interfering with each other. If someone approached another team, they would immediately return to their original position and maintain a certain distance from their companions.
Ye Yang shook his head and said, "These people are finished!"
He's right. These people seem to be not interfering with each other, but in fact, they are wary of each other. Entering such a dangerous place in this way will surely lead to death.
The four teams entered Dead Man's Gulch without stopping for a moment, leaving only twenty people to guard the entrance. The rest of the troops disappeared from my sight in less than a minute.
Fang Xuan said in a low voice, "Brother Li, all four major families have gone in. Should we move?"
"Not yet. Let's wait a little longer. The person who should come hasn't arrived yet!" As I spoke, a white figure suddenly appeared in my sight.
That shadow, like being blown by the wind, silently appeared less than fifty meters from the entrance to Dead Man's Gulch and stopped.
The four guards simultaneously drew their weapons: "Who's there?"
Before the other party's questioning voice fell, that figure suddenly flashed. When he reappeared, he had crossed ten meters and was close to the guards.
"Archers!" With a wave of someone's hand, the four guards simultaneously took down the longbows from their bodies, nocked arrows, and aimed at the figure.
The other party's figure was like a flickering flame in the wind, flashing twice in succession, and then stopped only twenty meters away from the guards.
The runes engraved on the arrowheads also burst out with bursts of red light at this moment, which was clearly yin energy activating the runes on the arrows.
However, the guards, who had been on high alert just now, were now silent. The warlock in charge of giving orders was even holding his hand in the air, motionless.
As I glanced at the guards, the figure was already standing in the middle of the crowd. The moment the other party landed, a gust of yin wind, swirling with snowflakes, suddenly rose beneath his feet. The twenty warlocks responsible for guarding the entrance were blown to the ground at the same time.
Those people maintained their previous posture even as they fell into the snow. Even the longbows that had been drawn in their hands did not change in the slightest.
Only the firelight on the arrowheads grew brighter and brighter, looking as if a patch of red candles had been lit under the pale figure's feet, also illuminating the tips of his feet that weren't touching the snow.
The people from the Coffin Gate have arrived!
That figure is the one who almost pressed Fang Xuan into the snow last night and suffocated him!
As I looked at the other party, that person suddenly turned around and met my gaze.
I only felt the other party's figure flash before my eyes. When I looked again, that person's face was already pressed against the ventilation hole of the snow cave.
When the other party's face stopped less than a foot away from me, I also saw a pair of eyes flashing with green light.
The fierce light in the other party's eyes was as if someone had forcibly gouged out the eyeballs of a wild wolf and pressed them onto a person's face, contrasting with the paleness of the face, making it particularly eerie.
Our gazes only met for a moment before the other party disappeared. When I looked again, that white figure had already flashed from the entrance of Dead Man's Gulch towards the gulch.
The last time I saw that person, he was standing right next to a coffin.
I didn't even figure out whether he had crawled into the coffin or walked into Dead Man's Gulch before the other party disappeared from my sight.
Ye Yang said in a low voice, "Three hundred meters, he moved five times. The places he landed each time weren't in a straight line. This stretch of road is a bit interesting. Still waiting?"
I said calmly, "There's still someone who hasn't come. Wait!"
I waited for about an hour before Meng Die arrived late with her guardian swordsmen.
Fang Xuan said in a low voice beside me, "The leader is Meng Die."
Meng Die walked to the bodies of the guards and said, "Xiao Yan, count them. Have there been any changes to the graves and coffins in the path?"
The little girl beside Meng Die counted three times in a row: "The graves and coffins haven't changed. However, one of the coffins has been moved, shifting a few inches to the left compared to before."
Meng Die nodded and said, "Enter the gulch!"
Xiao Yan hesitated and said, "Miss, should we wait a little longer?"
Meng Die shook her head and said, "Someone is waiting for us, but we don't need to wait for anyone else. Moreover, we're not walking into Dead Man's Gulch; the people waiting for me will never go in."
Meng Die turned her head and looked in my direction: "I want to know, what would be the reason for that last person to catch up?"
Meng Die led her people into the gulch, but didn't go straight ahead. Instead, she walked to a grave, slashed at the grave with her sword, and walked through the crack in the middle of the grave.
That group of people was like ghosts walking into the grave, disappearing one by one from my sight after crossing the edge of the grave.
