King Qi was somewhat astonished upon hearing this explanation, but without suspicion, he promptly arranged for the guards to descend.
A rope was lowered, and the guards made their way down the cliff. For safety, several guards descended at the same time, all of whom were adept at King Qi's side.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting echoed between the cliffs.
There was the clashing of swords and knives.
King Qi cautiously arranged for more guards to go down.
Meanwhile, other ladies and young misses above were also aware of the situation and screamed in fright.
Ye Muyu had no choice but to arrange for Su Mei to ensure that this group of ladies and young misses did not run about, for no one knew why people were hidden within the cliff.
Fortunately, the ladies and young misses standing on the mountain were not foolish and realized that staying together was safer, even though gathering together was frightening; they did not run around.
