You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chen Yang moved swiftly and flew after them.

Jiang He followed closely behind, and the two transformed into two streaks of light, speeding off towards the northeast.

Under the moonlight, the two moved extremely fast.

Mountains and rivers receded, and two afterimages streaked across the sky in the void.

About half an hour later, the mountain range in front gradually came into view.

The air was also a bit chilly.

Chen Yang could sense that this was a unique feeling of the primeval forest.

"Commander Chen, we're about to enter the Changbai Mountain area."

The sound of the river came from beside me.

After that sentence, the speed slowed down considerably.

"Seeing is believing."

Chen Yang nodded and looked down as well: "Indeed extraordinary."

"Go down."

Jiang He glanced down and made a suggestion.

"it is good."

The two landed slowly on a grassy field.

Jiang He took out his phone, edited a message, and sent it.

"I have already informed them."

Jiang He put away his phone and said to Chen Yang, "My people will be here to meet us soon."

"it is good."

Chen Yang agreed and looked ahead: "Minister Jiang, where exactly is that place you mentioned earlier that leads to the Heavenly Road?"

That's what he was curious about.

I want to see it for myself.

After waiting for so many days, I finally have the time.

Jiang He followed his gaze and pointed ahead: "It's in that valley just ahead."

"There are many restrictive formations inside, so be careful."

"Otherwise it will be very troublesome."

“People have tried before, paid a high price, but still failed.”

"The Wang family, along with members of other families, must have acted in concert."

"The price?"

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked ahead: "Now that we're here, we should naturally go and take a look."

"Otherwise, wouldn't our trip have been in vain?"

Seeing Chen Yang's fearless demeanor, Jiang He nodded and said, "Alright! Since Commander Chen wants to go, I'll lead the way."

"Go and have a look."

Chen Yang agreed and then followed.

"it is good."

The rivers are no exception.

Head towards the mouth of that valley.

Chen Yang followed closely behind.

The closer you get to the valley, the more you can feel a strange pressure.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance to the valley.

The area gradually widens on both sides, but the cliffs give a sense of oppression.

Jiang He stopped and gestured for Chen Yang to stop as well: "We'll wait for them here."

"it is good."

Chen Yang nodded, then went to a small earthen slope to observe the surroundings.

Just then, Chen Yang looked towards the dense forest in the distance.

Several auras are rapidly approaching.

"somebody is coming."

Chen Yang said to Jiang He in a low voice.

Jiang He's heart skipped a beat. Chen Shuai said, "Could it be that those assassins caught up with us so quickly?"

"No way."

"We're operating in secrecy."

Chen Yang frowned and jumped down.

Look forward.

At that moment, those figures had already rushed over.

After Jiang He saw these people clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be nervous, Commander Chen, they are our own people."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang relaxed.

Soon, more than a dozen people emerged from the dense forest.

Each of them exuded an imposing aura, clearly indicating they were all experts.

Even the weakest of these people was much stronger than Qiuniu.

The leader was a tall, middle-aged man.

Upon seeing Jiang He, he immediately stepped forward and exclaimed, "Minister Jiang!"

"Minister Jiang."

"..."

Others also stepped forward.

Jiang He nodded and looked at the group, asking, "Is everyone here?"

"Reporting to the Minister, all our personnel stationed here have arrived!"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group quickly responded.

"very good."

Jiang He nodded in satisfaction and said to everyone, "Let me introduce you. This is Chen Yang, the Commander Chen."

"From now on, we must cooperate with him and obey his orders."

"Greetings, Commander Chen!"

Everyone responded immediately.

"No need to be so polite, everyone."

Chen Yang smiled first, then said in a deep voice, "The target of this operation is those assassins equipped with special armor and weapons."

"Our mission is to lure them out and then wipe them all out!"

"clear."

"..."

Everyone agreed.

"According to our intelligence, the enemy is likely to ambush us on our way to the entrance of the Heavenly Road."

“We’re heading into the valley now; we’re very likely to run into them.”

"However, before we take action, let's learn about the Soul Binding Technique."

Chen Yang looked at everyone, then gave Jiang He a look: "They are all exceptionally talented, they should learn faster than others."

Upon hearing this, Jiang He immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commander Chen, an hour is enough!"

"I trained them all myself. They are very quick learners, so this is no problem for them!"

"it is good."

Chen Yang raised his hand and the storage bag appeared in his hand.

He took out a dozen or so crystal-clear spirit stones and handed them to Jiang He: "Minister Jiang, distribute these spirit stones to everyone."

"Spiritual stone!"

"It's actually a spirit stone!"

"..."

When the subordinates around him saw those spirit stones, they all became quite agitated.

They naturally knew the value of the spirit stone.

Chen Yang so easily took out more than a dozen coins and gave them to them.

Jiang He was also somewhat surprised, but he still accepted the spirit stones: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and thank Commander Chen!"

"Thank you, Commander Chen!"

"Thank you, Commander Chen!"

"..."

Everyone then seemed to realize what was happening and expressed their gratitude.

"These spirit stones will be used to absorb spiritual energy after you learn the Soul-Binding Technique!"

"We don't know how many enemies there are, so we need to use them sparingly."

Chen Yang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Jiang He added, "That's right. As long as we can capture one of them alive, we'll have a way to get him to talk."

"At that time, we will be able to find their lair."

"not necessarily."

Chen Yang shook his head and sighed.

"Why do you say that, Commander Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang He looked puzzled.

“These people are very cunning. They will immediately self-destruct if they are in any danger, leaving us no chance to survive.”

"I've tried so many times, there's never any chance."

Chen Yang looked at everyone and then continued.

"What? Self-destruction?"

Jiang He frowned, his expression grave: "If they all self-destruct, even if we kill them all, we won't get any valuable information. It'll be a wasted effort."

Chen Yang looked at everyone and then said, "Don't worry."

"When we encounter them later, you guys are responsible for dealing with the others."

“I will pick out the strongest one from among them and deal with him alone.”

"After several battles, I've roughly figured it out, and maybe I can leave one alive."

"And what you have to do is hold back the others."

"Okay! Let's do as Chen Shuai says!"

Hearing Chen Yang say this, Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you all hear that? Come with me, we only have one hour, everyone hurry up and practice the Soul Binding Technique."

"Yes! Minister!"

Everyone responded in unison. One by one, they followed Jiang He and left.

Before Chen Yang could assess the situation, a phone call came in.

I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Ali calling, so I answered the phone.

Soon, Ali's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Chen Yang..."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Chen Yang sensed something was off about her tone, so he quickly asked her what was wrong.

"These past few nights, I've had a persistent feeling that someone is following me."

Ali paused for a moment before continuing, "But I've searched carefully, and there's clearly no one around."

"But I'm certain there's someone there."

“I have the weasels keep watch, and they won’t be able to find out.”

"Oh?"

Chen Yang's expression changed, and Chen Shuai said, "The funeral home is no longer safe. Those people have likely already set their sights on you!"

"why?"

Ali looked puzzled: "We haven't offended anyone recently."

"Now is not the time to talk about this!"

Chen Yang interrupted her, then continued, "Take Big Head and Fat Cat and find a place to hide right now!"

Where is it safe to go?

Ali sighed and said helplessly, "They are in the shadows, and I am in the light. It's hard to hide."

"Nowhere is safe!"

Chen Yang also looked worried and said, "You go first, I'll think of something as soon as possible!"

"Chen Yang, have you offended someone again?"

Ali suddenly thought of something and asked.

"It's not that I offended them, it's that they came looking for trouble!"

Chen Yang gritted his teeth and cursed, "A bunch of bastards, they killed a lot of people from the Special Administration Bureau."

"Then I'll contact Gu Jinghui!"

Ali thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "Have him send some people over to help."

"No! It's too late!"

Chen Yang immediately shook his head and said in a deep voice, "By the time Gu Jinghui sends someone over, it'll be too late!"

"What should I do?"

Ali felt a sense of helplessness: "I can sense that they must be very strong, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sense their location at all."

“Ali, these people may look strong, but they are not that powerful.”

Chen Yang smiled and then said.

"Not good? You're just trying to comfort me."

Ali clearly didn't believe him when he heard what he said.

"Ok!"

Chen Yang agreed and then began to analyze: "Most of them are from abroad, and their actual strength is not that great."

"The reason they are so powerful is entirely due to the armor they wear and the high-tech weapons they wield."

"It's not that they are inherently powerful."

"But even so, I still can't beat them!"

Ali sighed.

"Use the Soul-Binding Technique!"

Chen Yang smiled, not worried at all.

"Soul-binding technique?"

Upon hearing this, Ali asked doubtfully, "Use soul-binding magic against them? Will that even work?"

"Absolutely! Don't worry!"

Chen Yang remained confident: "I've already tried! Those people's souls are inherently very fragile."

"Is it really possible?"

Ali was skeptical.

"Absolutely no problem!"

Chen Yang smiled and then said, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Then I'll lure them out and test them."

Ali ultimately chose to believe Chen Yang.

"Sure! But you must be careful!"

"Be decisive and don't hesitate. Don't give them any chance."

Chen Yang paused for a moment, then gave a reminder.

"Okay! I'll give it a try."

"Don't worry."

Ali nodded in agreement and then hung up the phone.

Chen Yang composed himself and then looked towards Jiang He and the others.

A dozen or so people are studying diligently with Jiang He.

Everyone was very serious.

Chen Yang checked the time; it was already midnight.

Their location was not on the only route to the valley.

In addition, everyone was very careful.

It went unnoticed by anyone.

Chen Yang became their protector.

Be vigilant and observe your surroundings.

"However, they probably won't notice anything."

"Or rather, they simply couldn't have known we were already here."

Chen Yang looked around and then analyzed, "I'm afraid they still think we're with Qiuniu and his group, and they're preparing to take revenge."

"Commander Chen!"

After a while, the sound of rivers came from not far away.

Behind him, the dozen or so people followed one after another.

"How's it going? Are you all proficient yet?"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Yang asked.

"I already know them all!"

"Commander Chen, we are ready to act at any time."

"..."

Before Jiang He could speak, these people were the first to respond.

They all looked like they couldn't wait to take action.

Clearly, they have already learned it.

"Alright, in that case, let's get ready to make our move."

Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Jiang He: "Minister Jiang, what do you think?"

"Since we're already here, let's get ready to make our move."

“We’ll pass through this dense forest, leave this pass, and once we get out, we’ll reach that valley.”

"I believe their people must have laid an ambush there."

Jiang He readily agreed.

Without the slightest fear.

"Well, let's go."

Seeing that everyone looked eager to try, Chen Yang didn't delay any longer.

With a shout, he led everyone off.

They rushed toward the pass ahead.

Jiang He and his men followed closely behind.

They advanced at full speed and arrived at the pass in just a few minutes.

Chen Yang was the first to stop.

"How's it going? Anything happening?"

Jiang He came over and asked.

"No, but be careful, they might be lying in ambush here."

Chen Yang shook his head, and as he spoke, he activated his Fiery Eyes of Truth.

However, nothing was found here.

So he continued waving: "Come on, it's safe here."

"Follow!"

"..."

The group reminded each other and then continued to follow him on his way.

Jianghe was responsible for covering the rear and preventing a sneak attack from behind.

After a few more minutes, they passed through the pass.

Looking further ahead, there was another dense forest.

"By passing through the dense forest, you'll reach the valley."

One of the team members came over and spoke to Chen Yang and Jiang He.

"Okay, let's go."

"Be careful, there might be an ambush in this forest!"

Chen Yang nodded and turned his attention to the woods.

At this moment, even with his keen eyesight, he still couldn't find any results.

why?
Could it be that their armor has this function?

Chen Yang had a feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

They could only continue forward with everyone.

Jiang He waved to the two men: "You two wait on the outside and find a good place to hide."

"Yes!"

"..."

The two agreed and then found a place to hide. (End of Chapter)
