Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1111 Soul-breaking Heaven Ladder

Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111 Soul-breaking Heaven Ladder

After listening to Yun Cheng’s account, Ye You could basically conclude that Qin Sisi had arrived at Midair City.

Though he still couldn’t fully understand how everything had transpired, the inexplicable disappearance of Qin Sisi at Taiyi Mountain, the countless Arctic Wolf corpses, the Fairy Piccolo made from wolf bones, and that peculiar feeling he had when he saw the carriage pulled by Snow Eagles—

All these fragnts pieced together pointed to the fact that Qin Sisi had co to Midair City for so unknown reason.

However, if she had indeed been inside that carriage at the ti, why had she remained hidden the entire ti?

Unless... she had no choice.

Thinking of Jiu Ge’s unruly nature, Ye You grew increasingly worried. Gritting his teeth, he quickened his steps toward the inner city of Midair City.

Qing Xun leapt forward and blocked Ye You’s path.

"Step aside!" Ye You growled in a low voice, his expression dark and grim.

Qing Xun remained unmoved, his tone calm yet unwavering as he tried to reason, "Are you heading to the Chief Mansion?"

Ye You did not answer, and instead forced another step forward.

Qing Xun was compelled to step back but still blocked his way, continuing to argue, "You can’t go. We cannot breach their Defensive Array."

"I must go. Do you understand?" Ye You gritted his teeth, his deep purple eyes locked on Qing Xun as a glimr of ruthless determination began to brew in their depths.

Qing Xun refused to yield, resolute in his stance. "Engaging in battle without preparation is no different than walking into death. You are the Prince of the Jiuxi Royal Family—the future Sage Ruler. The harder the tis, the calr you need to be."

Ye You squeezed his eyes shut in anguish. Monts later, he opened them again and rasped, "Qing Xun, have you ever truly loved soone? If you have, then you should understand—I can never remain calm when it cos to matters concerning her."

Qing Xun paused, his heart gripped by wave after wave of dull ache that spread relentlessly, like a tide surging across the four seas.

Loved? Of course, he had loved.

"A beauty, once glimpsed, is unforgettable. A day without her feels like madness."

To him, she was the moonlight, the daylight, the radiant stars, everything irreplaceable in the world.

Yet to her, he was nothing more than an ordinary classmate, a friendly companion.

He had been by her side for so many years, but in her eyes and her heart, there was only Ye You.

She pushed herself to practice relentlessly for Ye You, scheming tirelessly, and even married a traitor against her own wishes—yet she never regretted it, even unto death.

The day he learned of her passing was the only ti in his life he had ever gotten drunk. "Draw a blade to cut water, yet the water flows anew; raise a cup to rid grief, yet the grief deepens."

There was once a ti when his heart held resentnt toward Ye You, but gradually, he ca to let it go.

Mutual affection, after all, is a gift rarely encountered, let alone obtained.

The word "love" is an incurable poison, and all living beings are bound to suffer.

Qing Xun pulled himself away from his mories, took a deep breath, and said one word at a ti, "Precisely because you care for her, you must remain calm. If not, how will you rescue her?"

Ye You paused briefly before replying, "I will use the Magic God’s Power to wield the Phoenix Scepter. The might of the Divine Artifact should severely damage the Changkong family’s Defensive Array."

Qing Xun rebutted, "If you do that, you’ll already be severely depleted of Vigor by the ti you breach the array. How will you then face i Ji, Jiu Ge, and the four Grand Elders?"

Ye You shook his head, replying, "I don’t plan to fight them head-on. I’ll draw their attention while Yun Wang and Yun Cheng use Burrow Escape to infiltrate and rescue Sisi."

For a mont, Qing Xun was speechless. Ye You already had a rather complete plan—it was dangerous, but under the current circumstances, it was the most likely to succeed.

Qing Xun glanced at Yun Wang and Yun Cheng, the brothers standing behind Ye You with firm expressions, ready at any mont to carry out his orders.

The greatest strength of the Panhu family was their strong execution ability. Now, with Ye You as their leader, they would follow his orders to the letter—whether to fight or retreat. If Ye You chose to "walk into the tiger’s den knowing there are tigers," they would join him in capturing the tiger.

"What about ?" Qing Xun asked, knowing persuading Ye You was impossible and opted to offer his cooperation.

"Heh..." Ye You let out a self-deprecating laugh and said aningfully, "If you can use your bond as classmates to convince Jiu Ge not to join the fight, I would be deeply grateful."

Qing Xun’s face turned pale, and he replied softly, "I understand."

Previously, Qing Xun had attempted to appeal to Jiu Ge’s bond as classmates, urging him to stop i Ji from marrying Tian Xiaozi, but he didn’t even get to et Jiu Ge—proof enough that Jiu Ge didn’t value their purported bond in the slightest.

Ye You gave Qing Xun a deep look. Qing Xun was flawless in many ways, yet his sentintality and softness were both his strength and his weakness.

Ye You was issuing a warning: with war on the brink, relying on the bond of classmates would lead only to ruin for this mission.

Qing Xun’s task was to stop Jiu Ge from joining the fray. For Ye You, Jiu Ge would likely go all out, but Qing Xun’s kind and benevolent nature might compel Jiu Ge to hold back.

If Qing Xun could stall Jiu Ge, their odds of success would increase significantly.

The plan was decided. By dusk, the four of them arrived outside the gate of the Chief Mansion of the Changkong family. They would use the last glimrs of sunlight to break the array and rely on the cover of darkness to launch a guerrilla attack against the Changkong family. This timing was the most advantageous.

Just as Ye You prepared to take out the Phoenix Scepter to break the array, a sudden gust of wind swept past. Ye You furrowed his brow and swiftly spun to evade. A short arrow landed with a "whizz" at the spot where he had just stood, sticking into the ground beneath it. Attached to the arrow was a small piece of paper.

Ye You stared at the arrow for a mont without detecting anything unusual, then stepped forward, pulled it from the ground, and retrieved the slip of paper.

Qing Xun, Yun Wang, and Yun Cheng hurriedly gathered to look at it. On the paper were eight words: "The Soul-breaking Cliff, Heaven ladder straight up."

"What does this an?" Yun Wang asked, perplexed.

Qing Xun mused, "It seems to suggest that there’s a Heaven ladder beneath the Soul-breaking Cliff that leads straight up."

"Leads straight up to where?" Yun Cheng asked.

Ye You and Qing Xun exchanged a glance, both with understanding in their eyes. Ye You answered in a deep voice, "The Chief Mansion."

Yun Cheng exclaid joyfully, "Really? If that’s true, soone must be helping us from the shadows!"

Yun Wang thought for a mont and said cautiously, "Could it be a trap?"

Ye You turned to Qing Xun and asked, "What do you think?"

Qing Xun paused briefly before replying, "I feel like it’s genuine. They wouldn’t need to set up a trap—if they were aware of our plan, they could simply wait and pick us off. After all, their strength far surpasses ours."

Ye You nodded and said, "That’s what I think too. The place isn’t far; we’ll head to the Soul-breaking Cliff now to see if this Heaven ladder truly exists."

If there genuinely was such a direct route into the Chief Mansion, they would save considerable effort, and their chances of success would greatly increase.
