The wind whistled past her ears, and almost instinctively, Xie Lingqin tried to grab onto any vines she could reach. But when she looked up, she saw that in the swift wind and swirling mist, the black-robed man and the giant clam had also jumped down.
The pupils constricted.
Xie Lingqin's mind suddenly went blank.
What exactly happened?
And why has this descent taken so long without settling down?
"flutter--"
The intense pressure overwhelmed Xie Lingqin, causing her to feel a sharp pain in her chest and vomit blood.
"Miss--"
Suddenly, the giant clam embraced her, and in an instant, the world changed.
Xie Lingqin stood firmly on the ground.
And here, there is a dense jungle.
Looking up now, all you can see is swirling clouds and mist, with no end in sight.
If you listen closely, you can almost hear faint human voices.
That sound...
Xie Lingqin suddenly looked at the black-robed figure who was also straightening his sleeves and walking over, and said, "I can sense a very strong Yun Clan aura."
"That's right."
The man in black robes seemed to have lost much of his energy.
The next instant, the man in black robes grabbed Xie Lingqin, with the giant clam shell following closely behind. In just a few leaps, they had covered a great distance before the three of them landed in a dark, backlit spot.
Looking ahead, there was an extremely large and high city wall, so large that Xie Lingqin couldn't see the edge at all.
Inside the city walls, shadowy figures could be seen moving about.
Their faces were dark, their expressions solemn, their eyelids half-closed, never looking directly at the sky, yet their backs were straight.
They faced the loess soil, their backs to the sky, their hands shackled and their feet shackled.
There were men and women, and they were all dressed in the same clothes, with their order marked on the back.
"One...two...five...eight...one hundred...one thousand...five thousand...fifty thousand."
them……
them……
A sudden wave of sorrow washed over Xie Lingqin. She looked at the black robe, then at the giant clam shell, "They..."
"They have been bound here for a full sixteen years."
The man in the black robe had hatred in his eyes, a hatred that made his eyes bloodshot, yet he tried his best to suppress it.
They had been bound here for sixteen years. Xie Lingqin stared blankly, then looked over again.
Time has etched fine lines on their faces, but it has not diminished the fighting spirit hidden deep in their hearts.
them!
However, it is a bird with broken wings, temporarily imprisoned.
Xie Lingqin watched and watched, then suddenly raised her hand to touch the corner of her eye, which was already wet.
This was her first time here, her first time meeting these people, and she was already deeply moved by their emotions. For so many years, these people had been trapped here; how much struggle and loneliness must they have endured?
“They are members of the Yun clan. Because Yun Yishang died, they could not return home. The emperor found them but could not get anything useful from them. He could not kill them, so he kept them imprisoned here.”
"So, all these years, these so-called 50,000 mysterious soldiers have been in the Emperor's hands all along. No wonder he didn't hold back when he wanted to kill me. He's a ruthless emperor. He deceived the world. That's right, only if I die will everyone stop thinking about these 50,000 soldiers."
"Yes, the Emperor has kept you around for so many years only to use you. However, he doesn't know that you are not Zongzheng Shao's daughter."
As he spoke, the man in black raised his hand, gesturing for Xie Lingqin to look ahead. "Do you see that wall? There used to be countless arrows aimed at them, to prevent them from escaping. But now, they're gone."
"Why?"
"Because they have learned to be patient, they know that one day they will leave here and return to the Cloud Clan."
Xie Lingqin looked at the black robe and said, "So, you're saying they were waiting for me."
"Yes, I only found them a few years ago. I told them, 'Be patient, because you are still here.'"
Xie Lingqin suddenly closed her eyes slightly, unsure of where to look.
"Yuwen Shu, he manipulates everyone in the world in the palm of his hand. Over the years, many people have been eyeing me covetously, all because of the whereabouts of these 50,000 soldiers. Yet no one knows, but they are all under his control."
Xie Lingqin felt intense hatred at this moment. She thought that if she couldn't make Yuwen Shu suffer a fate worse than death in this life, it would be a desecration of the heavens.
These people, these 50,000 Yun Clan members, are here.
Upon closer reflection, I suddenly feel a chill run down my spine...
That day, Yuwen Yao told her to jump down, but what exactly was the reason...?
Xie Lingqin suddenly cleared her mind and looked at the black robe. "You brought me here, but I can't save them now."
“I know that we not only need to wait for the power of the Cloud Clan within you to recover, but also need to see if you can decipher the mystery within and open the door to the Cloud Clan.”
"I understand, I understand."
Xie Lingqin raised her hand to her chest, and suddenly felt a sharp pain.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"fine."
“I brought you here, and now you should know what you are carrying on your shoulders. These 50,000 people are your mission, and you should know how to deal with their hatred, their resentment, your mother’s hatred, and your mother’s resentment.”
"I know."
Xie Lingqin looked at the black robe, met his sharp eyes, glanced ahead, then looked away and looked up at the sky. "One day, I will bring them out and head straight for the capital. I will avenge all wrongs and settle all grievances."
"Then let's go back."
As the man in black robes turned around, even though he concealed himself so well, Xie Lingqin could clearly see how reluctant he was to part with those 50,000 people.
Because I'm reluctant to let go, I don't get too close.
