Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 94 I'm Not Invincible
The military vehicle carrying the Yanyu team finally arrived at the target village under the cover of night.

Since there was no one left alive in the village, it was completely dark inside and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

The officers of the Armament Department had many high-powered searchlights, but they could only barely illuminate the surrounding roads and houses.

However, what left Yan Yu speechless was that these people actually used loudspeakers and speakers to have the negotiation experts shout messages to the villagers, saying things like "leniency for surrendering, severity for resisting" and "reduction in sentence for confessing guilt, turning back is the right path"...

They massacred the entire village. Even if they were given a suspended death sentence, it would have caused an uproar in public opinion. And you're still lying to them, saying they'll get a reduced sentence if they surrender? Are you treating them like fools?
Communication is useless, only killing is possible!

"You're finally here." Seeing the military finally arrive, the head of the Armaments Department hurried over to lead the way and explain the situation. "Well, we previously captured the suspected murderer with a drone. After comparing the footage, we confirmed it's an elderly man from the village, surnamed Xu, 72 years old, a local. He's had a conflict with the village chief in the past, so we suspect this is a vendetta stemming from a long-standing personal grudge..."

"Okay." Yan Yu interrupted his introduction. "We'll talk about the reasons later. Where was the last location the drone photographed him in?"

In his previous life, Yan Yu had heard at least eight hundred reasons as to why folk cultivators killed people, and he was already tired of hearing them.

After all, if it happens in the countryside, it's nothing more than a neighborhood dispute like someone occupying your homestead, stealing your fish pond, or your dog biting your child...

It’s just that due to the serious population loss in rural areas in recent years, young people have all fled to big cities, and the grassroots security forces in rural areas are becoming increasingly insufficient. Therefore, it is impossible to expect the police to uphold justice. They have to drive for several hours from the town!
In the end, whoever has a good relationship with the village head or has more men in his family will have the upper hand in the village.

Then, with the great change of the times such as the revival of spiritual energy, the disadvantaged villagers who had been oppressed for a long time suddenly gained the power to transcend the order. The subsequent development basically meant killing the entire family of their enemy - this kind of thing is really not uncommon, and it will only become more and more common in the future.

From Yan Yu's perspective, if you were bullied and you killed your enemy's entire family, I certainly understand.

Are you done killing? Then go die.

If he doesn't die soon, the dragon slayer will become a dragon.

Common people who suddenly gain unprecedented power and experience the benefits of violence have an 87% chance of a second wave of violence unless they are promptly apprehended and dealt with by the authorities. Furthermore, there is little legitimate motive for the second wave, such as revenge, and the victims are often innocent, with no way to exonerate themselves.

In his previous life, Yan Yu had seen so much of the human world that he wasn't interested in the motives of the common cultivators. But the girls were different. To prevent them from having wild thoughts before the battle, it was best not to listen to these reasons.

The person in charge of the Armaments Department was startled when he heard this. He quickly took out a satellite scan of the village and drew a circle on it with a pen, enclosing about ten houses.
"That's right. He's probably hiding in this area. But there are unknown dangers around here. The first group of people who went in contacted me before they disappeared and said they were attacked."

Yan Yu did not reach out to take it, but turned around and said:
"Chen Lingyun?"

Chen Lingyun took the map and looked at it carefully for a moment.

Then she asked the head of the armament department for a telescope, and ordered the searchlight to be pointed at the corresponding position so that she could observe from a distance.

Yan Yu followed her gaze and indeed discovered unusual light flow and distortion, which was completely invisible from a distance.

Very good, he is indeed the envoy monk who controls ghosts and monsters.

However, at this stage, the opponent controlled too many ghosts, so he had to rely on some auxiliary magic weapons.

Could it be the Soul Refining Flag?

"What do you think?" Chen Lingyun suddenly asked.

"Ghost servants," Yan Yu said succinctly. "Ghost servants are translucent when not attacking, making them difficult to spot in low-light conditions. The first group of patrol officers disappeared after entering the village. They were obviously ambushed by these ghosts."

"Indeed." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "What if we wait until the sun comes out tomorrow?"

"The power of the demon will decrease slightly," Yan Yu replied, "but the decrease is not significant. It's mainly because in good lighting conditions, the demon loses its most crucial concealment, so it will be significantly easier to deal with."

"But it's impossible for us to stay up all night and wait until the sun comes out tomorrow to take action." Chen Lingyun said leisurely.

"Yes."

"What is the demon's method of attack?"

"Various." Yan Yu thought for a while, "But at this stage, the most civilian cultivators can do is control ghosts to attack and kill, which can be considered a physical attack."

"Can the familiar fly?"

"Yes, you can understand it as the Cloud Ascending Technique being permanent, but you can't leave the Envoy too far."

"How far is too far?"

"It depends on the level of cultivation. At this stage, I estimate the limit is around 10-20 meters."

"That's easy." Chen Lingyun smiled and drew a circle on the map with a pen. "Choose one of these three houses." Yan Yu was not surprised that she could come up with the result so quickly. After all, although this woman had a mean personality, her brain was indeed useful. Otherwise, she would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne of the East Army for so many years in her previous life.

"What are the specific tactics?"

"If I had to choose," Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "just send mortars from nearby and blow up all three houses."

"No." Yan Yu immediately rejected it. "The other party has a magic weapon in their hands. What if the mortar damages the magic weapon?"

"Are you sure?" Chen Lingyun asked with a surprised smile.

"It should be some kind of spirit-calling banner." Yan Yu paused for a moment, "There's an old saying, do you want to hear it?"

"tell me the story."

"Every cultivator who practices ghosts should have his own spirit-calling banner."

"Hmm." Chen Lingyun didn't comment on this and just smiled and said, "If that's the case, then let's try another plan."

She wrote and drew on the map, and whispered with Yan Yu for a while, then turned around and called the other girls over and began to arrange tactics.

"Let me ask first," Chen Lingyun asked with a smile as beautiful as a flower. "Is there anyone in our team who has a poor sense of direction? The type who can't tell east from west, south from north, forward from backward, left from front to back, and right from back to front, and who can get lost even with a map and following the route."

The three girls looked at each other, but no one said anything.

"Okay then." Chen Lingyun spread the map on the ground and said, "We can confirm that the place we are in this time is a monk who controls ghosts. But don't worry, it's not one of those invincible ghosts in the movies that ignore the laws of physics. It can be considered some kind of translucent creature that can be killed with spells."

"I'd also like to give you a tip: the Fire Curse and the Charge Curse are very effective against ghosts." Yan Yu added.

"Everyone gather here when the operation begins," Chen Lingyun continued. "Ningning, wait for my order. Then, run along this route as fast as you can. You'll definitely encounter attacks along the way, so be careful to protect yourself. Finally, return to the house."

"If my guess is correct, after being alarmed, the other side will definitely mobilize their enemies and surround this side to hunt you down."

"Try to make the best use of the narrow space inside the house to avoid being surrounded. If you can't hold on any longer, jump out of the window at the back of the house. I'll have Yunjin meet you outside."

"Sister Zhao, lie in ambush here and wait for my command. Then, rush out of this alley, kill some of the enemies, and then leave through the alley opposite. I will be watching you the entire time and remind you of your specific actions."

"Are you planning to lure the enemy out and then force them to split their forces?" Zhao Yuanzhen was no fool and quickly saw through Chen Lingyun's intention.

Lin Ning's darting about, making a grandiose search, would surely draw the enemy inward, leading them to surround her. If she were to swoop in mid-sentence, the enemy would have two targets to contend with, and would usually subconsciously split their forces to pursue her.

"That's right." Chen Lingyun smiled and said, "Of course, if the other side doesn't split up their forces, then the pressure on Ningning will increase. I allow you and Yunjin to evacuate out of the village along this route at any time after jumping out of the window if you feel the situation is not right. The military monks will help you intercept the pursuers."

"What if all the enemies come after me?" Zhao Yuanzhen continued to ask.

"Then they have hit a wall." Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

The Demon Sect Demon Girl was very satisfied with this statement. No matter how many ghosts there are, what can they do to me?

"Finally, our captain." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "This time, you will be my bodyguard and escort me to carry out the decapitation mission. Is that okay?"

The reason for the sudden decapitation was, of course, to secure the soul-calling banner in the opponent's hand. Otherwise, if they attacked head-on, and the opponent realized they were no match for them, they would destroy the magic weapon and then commit suicide, which would be a huge loss for everyone.

"Okay, I'll escort you." Yan Yu nodded.

"Lingyun?" Su Yunjin was a little worried. "You can just go directly. Is that okay?"

Chen Lingyun was not like Lin Ning, and Yan Yu did not hide the fact that she had a slow reaction time in the spot from everyone in the team.

Now she has to go to the front line in person, and it is the most dangerous decapitation mission. Will there be any accidents?
"It's okay." Chen Lingyun comforted her, "Don't forget, we still have our invincible captain."

"The word 'invincible' is a bit of an exaggeration." Yan Yu said seriously, "At this stage, I can only defeat 99.99% of the cultivators in this world at best."

"If you say 0.01% less, it will make you look very humble, right?" Lin Ning said to him with downcast eyes.

"Then 99% is fine, right?" Yan Yu sighed deeply, indicating his willingness to compromise.

"There is no difference at all!" Lin Ning shouted.
