Chapter 42: There are really immortals in Hidden Immortal Peak

"Oh no, we're surrounded!"

At this time, on the second floor of the inn, Tian Heng, who was startled by the sound of footsteps outside, opened the window a little and looked outside, his face changed slightly.

Tian Heng was probably a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a square face and a heroic demeanor in his every move.

This man was quite famous in history. He and his two brothers successively occupied the former territory of Qi and became kings at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, after he was defeated in the battle and committed suicide, he was followed by 500 followers. It can be said that his personal charm was so great that it was admirable.

"What?"

"These Qin thieves came so quickly."

In front of Tian Heng at this time were Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, uncle and nephew.

After the failed assassination attempt on Ying Zheng some time ago, he accompanied Zhang Liang to Yinxian Peak again, but Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu could not even enter the mountain gate, let alone become his disciples.

Therefore, Xiang Liang began to mobilize his connections and contacted Tian Heng, intending to cooperate with multiple parties, contribute money, effort and manpower, and make another plan that would definitely kill Ying Zheng.

But I didn't expect that they chose not to meet in Pei County, but in Liu County next to Pei County, which actually exposed their whereabouts?
At this time in the inn, in addition to the three of them, Tian Heng brought a dozen people, and Xiang Liang and his companions brought several people.

There are only more than twenty people in total.

"There are at least a thousand Qin bandits, and they cannot be defeated."

Xiang Liang also opened the window a little and looked outside, and was immediately shocked.

"It's a pity that I can't put on armor and lead my troops to fight them."

However, Xiang Yu felt a little regretful and unwilling. After the Chu State was destroyed, they were chased by the Qin army and could only flee like a stray dog.

"There is a tunnel leading to the outside, let's go quickly."

At this time Tian Heng reacted. Fortunately, this inn was secretly controlled by him, so there was a secret passage, which came in handy to save his life.

As he spoke, he hurriedly took Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and a dozen of his men, and hurried downstairs to the back kitchen of the inn. He lifted a pile of firewood, pulled open a partition, and jumped in.

At this time, the Qin army that was surrounding outside also began to rush in, causing the other guests in the inn to panic. At the same time, there were crossbows pointed at the inn, ready to shoot anyone who dared to break out into a hornet's nest.

"Oh no! Someone escaped to the next door through the secret passage!"

At this time, some Qin soldiers shouted.

Zhao Gao, who was commanding outside, was startled when he heard this and was about to ask people to surround the yard on his side.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"what!"

"The enemy is coming!"

Zhao Gao was just about to react when several figures suddenly jumped out from the wall and kicked away the soldiers who were facing the courtyard.

Among them was a burly man holding a dark iron spear, which he spun like flying and smashed on the soldiers around him, making them scream and fly away. His power was so great that it was truly terrifying.

This person was none other than Xiang Yu. He was one of the first few to come out. Upon hearing that the Qin army had discovered them and were preparing to surround the yard, he had no choice but to take action first. He had just glanced out the window and remembered that the person who was directing the capture of them was at this location.

Now it turns out to be as expected.

Zhao Gao and others standing here were either wearing official uniforms or brocade and silk, with tall crowns and tied hair. Naturally, they were not ordinary people.

Before the crossbow turned around and headed here, Xiang Yu had already kidnapped Zhao Gao, who had just been in a dominant position.

"Let them all back off!"

Xiang Yu pointed the tip of his spear at Zhao Gao's neck, dragged Zhao Gao back continuously, and then shouted loudly.

After drinking it, Xiang Yu gently applied force with the tip of the iron spear. Zhao Gao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck. Then a warm liquid flowed out of his neck, which frightened him so much that his face suddenly turned pale.

"Everyone, everyone, step back!"

At the moment of life and death, Zhao Gao was terrified and hurriedly obeyed Xiang Yu's order to retreat to the Qin army and the magistrate of Liu County and others.

The magistrate and lieutenant of Liu County looked at each other and could only step back helplessly.

Seeing more than 20 rebels dragging Zhao Gao away, the Qin army did not dare to act rashly, but they could not watch the rebels escape, so they could only keep a certain distance and follow them.

The two sides confronted each other and gradually chased to the city gate.

At the request of the rebels, Zhao Gao ordered them to be given horses. After they rode away, Zhao Gao, who had been held hostage, fell to the ground weakly.

"Today I have failed. I failed to accomplish any merit and let the rebel go. I must find Master Hu Hai and ask him to intercede for me. Otherwise I will be severely punished."

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao’s face turned even paler.

At this time, on the Yinxian Peak, the night enveloped the sky and the earth, and there was silence all around. Xu Fu and Lu Sheng were on a protruding cliff, feeling a little desperate, as if they had climbed in the wrong direction and could not reach the top of the mountain at all.

At this time, they were already so tired that their limbs were sore. They could only make do here tonight. They had to go down tomorrow and change direction to continue climbing.

"Master Xu, look!!!"

"Immortal, Immortal..."

At this time, Xu Fu and Lu Sheng had an expression of disbelief on their faces, and they looked up towards the top of the mountain in amazement.

The bright moon is as big as a disk, hanging high in the sky.

On the top of the mountain, there is a figure shrouded in brilliant silver light, hazy and isolated, as if ready to fly away at any time.

"Immortals, immortals, there really are immortals in this world..."

Xu Fu stared blankly at the figure practicing on the top of the mountain. At this moment his heart was struck hard and he suddenly recalled the aspirations he had when he first entered the Taoist school.

Then came the disappointment and despair, the sarcasm and ridicule in his heart towards the so-called legends of immortals, and the exhaustion of having to deal with the urging of Ying Zheng.

All the emotions accumulated over the years suddenly flooded into my heart and turned into two lines of hot tears that rolled down my cheeks.

"Immortal! I, Xu Fu, finally saw an immortal!"

Xu Fu's eyes were filled with tears. He knelt on the ground, looked up at the top of the mountain, and shouted in a trembling voice.

"There really are immortals in Hidden Immortal Peak. I must be dreaming!"

At this time, Lu Sheng was still standing there in a daze, and even slapped himself in disbelief. With a crisp sound of "slap", he felt his face burning.

But the scene in front of him did not disappear. Seeing Xu Fu kneeling and shouting, he immediately knelt down and shouted words like "Greetings to the Immortal".

Taking advantage of the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Ye Yu came to the top of the mountain to practice, leveraging the power of Taiyin to cleanse his body. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting faintly in the whistling mountain wind.

Ye Yu then slowly opened his eyes, lowered his eyes, and looked towards a place about 100 to 200 meters away. There were two figures kneeling down to him.

"Why did you go there again?"

Ye Yu knew that there was a cliff over there, but he couldn't get over there.

Although the Hidden Immortal Peak is not very steep, it is still difficult to climb up except through the mountain path. Only experienced hunters who are familiar with the mountain conditions can do it.

Moreover, those one or two paths are rugged and have cliffs, so you need to bring professional mountaineering equipment, otherwise it is not easy to climb up.

"Whoo~"

Ye Yu's mind moved, and suddenly a strong wind whistled around him, directly sweeping Ye Yu up and flying towards the two figures.

Although the distance was far, Ye Yu's eyes could see as clearly in the dark as in the daytime, and he had already seen how miserable and weak the two men looked.

In their current state, if they’re not careful they could fall off the mountain at any time, leaving two more stinking corpses.

Ye Yu came riding on the wind, and the howling wind made the clothes of the two people on the ground rustle. Just when they were about to say something, Ye Yu came in and grabbed the back of their collars with one hand.

Then he jumped lightly, and suddenly Xu Fu and Lu Sheng felt nothing under them, a strong wind rushed into their mouths, and they fell from the mountain. That feeling frightened them so much that they became limp all over.

"Pah! Pah!"

After Xu Fu and Lu Sheng landed on the ground, they felt a little dizzy for a moment, and fell limply to the ground.

Seeing that the two were just not used to high-altitude flying, it was nothing serious, so Ye Yu instantly rode away on the wind.
