Chapter 13 Something is wrong
"Who can say for sure? We are only responsible for guarding the cave entrance. The secrets inside are not something we can know." The sergeant looked at the cave behind him. It was as dark as the mouth of a ferocious beast, swallowing up anyone who wanted to spy on the secrets.

"Captain?" another person hesitated. Of course they were loyal to the captain, but that didn't mean they didn't have complaints. Living in the deep mountains with the wind and snow and the wild beasts was not a good life. Especially since they didn't even know what was behind the gate behind the cave. It was really hard to muster any enthusiasm to protect something they didn't know the value of.

"I'm not sure. There are some secrets that we are not allowed to know. Knowing more may not be a good thing. Moreover, although we are living in the open air here now, the captain has not treated us unfairly. These are enough. As for other things, let's not think about them." The sergeant stopped his subordinates from complaining. Complaints are not something that can be shared, otherwise they will expand infinitely. The sergeant obviously understood this truth.

"Yes, the captain has never treated us unfairly, but what exactly is in there?" The young soldier was at an age when curiosity was the strongest. Even though he knew that what was behind the gate was not something he could peek into, the turmoil in his heart was still difficult to completely erase.

"Yes, what will be behind that gate?" In a hidden corner, Yang Chong, who had rushed here from Dalong Mountain along the direction drawn by Old Man Li, looked carefully at everything around him. The unfamiliar environment gave him a familiar feeling.

The strange cave, the suddenly appearing soldiers, and the gate in the words, especially this Cishan is not far from Xinzheng City.

Clues intertwined in Yang Chong's mind and suddenly pointed to a point deep in his memory.

No way?
This is very wrong!

A flash of inspiration exploded in Yang Chong's mind: Could it be?
A figure suddenly appeared in Yang Chong's mind. In his memory of this world, there was a woman who was as charming as fire and as gentle as water. Because of her unfortunate experience, she was captured by a mysterious man and was trapped in a cage for ten years until her companions rescued her.

Yan Lingji? This name rang in Yang Chong's mind.

Is this the master that old man Li mentioned? Yan Lingji? A master? Thinking back to the information about Yan Lingji, Yang Chong found it difficult to connect the fire spirit with the master.

Who is Yan Lingji? She can play with fire and has good martial arts skills, but she is far from being a master. Their group of people is not enough for one person to abuse. How can such a person be called a master?

But Yang Chong forgot that a woman like Yan Lingji is more than just a master to ordinary people. Her magical fire-controlling skills are no different from divine skills to ordinary people.

Although Yang Chong remembered that Yan Lingji and her group were wiped out by one person, this does not deny how powerful Yan Lingji was. To most people, Yan Lingji was invincible, and no one except the top masters could break her flame.

For ordinary people, Yan Lingji is a character that only exists in legends. Yang Chong thinks Yan Lingji is bad, but that's only because he has a God's perspective on this world. In reality, Yan Lingji may very well be the strongest person a person has ever seen in his life.

However, Yan Lingji, this 'expert', is not easy to get along with. Yan Lingji is sensitive and changeable, and once she is released, it is hard to say whether she will be a help or a poison.

I really am... Yang Chong, realizing his change of mind, shook his head. He had to admit that he was a kind person. When talking about beauties, he would talk endlessly and feel itchy. But when he really saw them, he would worry about the danger. If I can't even handle Yan Lingji, how can I handle Jing Niu, or even the trap behind Jing Niu. If I am afraid of Yan Lingji, then I can just commit suicide now, and maybe I can be less afraid. As Yang Chong talked to himself, the hesitation in his heart completely disappeared.

Yan Lingji's mind is indeed changeable, and she is a real demon girl, but Jingwei at this stage is a cold sword. Although Yan Lingji is dangerous, she still has human warmth after all, and Jingwei? That is extremely dangerous.

Now that he had made up his mind, Yang Chong no longer hesitated and rushed towards the soldiers who were warming themselves around the campfire at an extremely fast speed. His martial arts skills had improved a little and needed actual combat, so he wanted to give it a try.

In a flash, the soldier facing Yang Chong barely uttered a cry of surprise. The facial bones of the soldier sitting opposite him had been pierced by Yang Chong's claws. Flesh and bones could not block the power of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

With a cry of pain, Yang Chong raised his leg and kicked at another person, knocking that person out with such great force. At this time, the other three people barely picked up their weapons and crawled to distance themselves from Yang Chong.

Amid the sound of metal clashing, a long sword and two long spears were pointed at Yang Chong. The spears thrust out with great force, and it was obvious that this was a height that ordinary soldiers could hardly reach.

But facing the spears that were stabbing at him, Yang Chong did not retreat but advanced, and passed through the gap between the two spears at an almost impossible angle. As he swung his arms, his fingers formed into claws, and his white fingers turned blue-black. Even his nails swelled in an instant. With all his strength, he grabbed the shoulders of two soldiers at the same time, and with a slid, he had torn open their throats.

Two howls were heard, but they were left behind by Yang Chong. At this moment, a cold sword was coming towards him. Facing this fast and tricky sword, Yang Chong did not dodge or give way. The internal force between his claws surged, and a thin but existing layer of true energy blocked the falling momentum of the sword. Taking advantage of this pause, Yang Chong moved sideways, and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw had already gripped the sword, and the accumulated force exploded in an instant.

Yang Chong is now able to snatch a sword with his bare hands.

Yang Chong took the dagger in his hand and threw it back, hitting the ribs of the soldier who was kicked away by him at the beginning but had recovered and wanted to grab the bow and arrow to fight back.

"Who the hell are you..." The sergeant, whose sword was snatched away with his bare hands, looked at Yang Chong who suddenly attacked him in horror, but he couldn't finish his words.

When he met Yang Chong's gaze, he only saw two whirlpools spinning in Yang Chong's eyes, and even his mind was about to be sucked into them. The next moment, he had forgotten everything and only had two confused sights left.

The Soul-Transferring Technique from the Nine Yin Scriptures.
