Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 96 Dare to swear? Let's get him!

"Come on, Maido, let me teach you another trick. This trick is all about taking things by surprise."

Maido nodded vigorously, and her short legs took a half step back in coordination.

"Yes, that's it. You need to stay calm." Yang Chen's voice was gentle and clear.

"Sensing the enemy is closing in, in that instant, push off the ground with your feet, engage your core, and twist your body! Unleash all your strength and speed from your waist, driving your arms and gun!"

Maido took a deep breath and twisted her small body sharply!
Using the power of waist and abdomen rotation, the short stick is propelled to draw a sharp arc, the tip of the stick whistling through the air.

It thrusts out diagonally backward from bottom to top!

Although the movements were still quite clumsy, the twisting waist and unexpected force were already beginning to take shape.

The field team arrived at Longgu Village at that time.

Ulanhaisang was the first to get off the car, his face showing the fatigue of a long journey.

He turned around, leaned into the back seat, and carefully helped Benny out, who was leaning against a simple metal frame.

Benny looked around the village with curiosity.

While still on the road, he saw that the surrounding area was all green, and he was curious as to why this place was not polluted.

Following that, the other six lighthouse elders were also guided off the vehicle by the Awakeners.

They appeared more timid than Benny, with shifty eyes and slow movements.

After being sternly reprimanded by the driver in the car, they were now completely silent, not daring to even breathe.

I nervously surveyed the unfamiliar yet vibrant village before me.

The fervent belief that it was the "manifestation of the Lord of Light and Shadow" that I had in the car had long been overshadowed by the fear of having a gun pointed at my head.

"Maiduo." Yang Chen noticed the commotion in the distance and gently patted the little girl's shoulder.

“Go, make a trip and tell Hongkou and Poxiao that their old friend from the lighthouse has arrived and ask them to come over.”

"Okay!" Maido nodded vigorously, immediately put away her short stick, and ran quickly towards Hongkou and the others' residence in the village.

Yang Chen then straightened up and walked towards the village entrance, towards the direction of the convoy.

Ulan Aodeng gestured for the team members to practice on their own, while he frowned and looked at the group of lighthouse workers who had "traveled a long way" with a scrutinizing gaze.

Just as Yang Chen was about to enter the convoy, an old man with cloudy eyes, standing at the edge of a group of elderly people, unconsciously glanced across the other side of the village road.

A figure was running at a steady pace along the village road.

She was agile and light-footed, with her short, silvery-white hair tied in a small ponytail.

Those white hairs, that face, that aura—in an instant, like a bolt of lightning, shattered the old man's long-buried, terrifying memories.

"what!?"

The old man let out a strange cry, pointing a trembling finger at Bai Yuekui, his voice filled with disbelief and horror.

"It's...it's her! That white-haired woman! That...that monster!!"

The other lighthouse keepers looked in the direction he was pointing, but all of them looked puzzled, wondering why their companion was reacting so strongly.

"Monster! It's that monster!"

"It was her! She killed... killed so many of us!"

"Run...run!!"

The old man, disregarding his surroundings, frantically tried to run towards the village exit, but was stopped by Juexingzhe.

"You've been nagging the whole way here, and now you're slandering our boss? I think you really don't want to live anymore."

Ulanhaisang, who was supporting Benny, frowned and looked at the old man who had suddenly lost control and was pointing at Boss Bai and shouting "monster" with extremely unfriendly eyes.

The hand supporting Benny tightened unconsciously, as if issuing a warning.

The white figure had already run far away.

Bai Yuekui naturally heard the screams from this side, but his face remained completely unmoved, showing no reaction to what was happening over there.

She ran straight to Yang Chen's side before naturally stopping, adjusting her breathing slightly. Fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead in the morning light. "Looks like the lighthouse is throwing people down again?" Bai Yuekui's voice was slightly breathless, yet still clear and steady.

"Yes, Hai Sang just told me." Yang Chen nodded and reached out to wipe away her sweat with his sleeve.

How many laps to go?

"That's about enough running. Let's go back and take a shower first, and then I'll go with you to the potential activation center."

"Okay," Yang Chen replied.

Just then, he noticed that the group of awakened practitioners in the distance were surrounding the old man who was being held down on the ground, and there were also many villagers watching around, their emotions running high.

"I'll go take a look," Yang Chen said to Bai Yuekui, and then walked towards the center of the conflict.

"I've been listening to you ramble on about that bullshit Lord of Light and Shadow the whole way here, and now you dare to talk about Boss Bai!"

The ascetic slapped the old man's cheek twice.

Although the force had been reduced, it still knocked out several of the old man's teeth.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here? He's so old, why are you hitting him?" The villagers quickly tried to dissuade him.

"He just cursed Boss Bai!" Juexingzhe explained as he turned around.

The villagers immediately changed their tune and all pointed at the old man.

"What!?"

"kill him!"

"If he's really dead, just recycle his source matter. I'll go get the soul storage device now."

Yang Chen finally arrived. He walked through the crowd and looked at the old man whose face was covered in blood.

He frowned and asked Ulanhaisang, who was standing to the side.

"what happened?"

Ulanhaisang pointed at the old man on the ground: "I don't know what got into him, he pointed at Boss Bai and started cursing, and then he got beaten up."

Insulting Yue Kui?
Gee.
Yang Chen stepped forward and reached out to stop the Awakened One from throwing a punch.

Upon seeing that the person who had come was Yang Chen, Juexing immediately spoke.

"Boss Yang, please heal him first, then I'll start the treatment."

Yang Chen looked at the old man who was on the verge of death, sighed softly, squatted down and reached out to touch the old man's body.

The old man's injuries were healed instantly, and just as he was about to stand up, Juexingzhe saw this and immediately brought his fist down.

The old man was coaxed to sleep again.

"Alright, alright, that's enough."

Yang Chen reached out and gave her another mouthful of milk.

The old man woke up, opened his eyes and met the gaze of the Slumbering Traveler. In fear, he propped himself up and crawled backward.

"Have you met Yue Kui before?" Yang Chen stepped forward and asked, pressing down on the old man's shoulder.

"Wh-what?" The old man's expression remained flustered.

Seeing this, Yang Chen didn't bother to ask any more questions.

It's estimated that this person happened to have seen Bai Yuekui kill those hunters and city guards when Bai Yuekui went to the lighthouse.

"Hmph! Back then, Boss Bai went to the Lighthouse because he wanted you to join us in fighting against the ecosystem and, incidentally, to take back what was his." An old man from Dragon Bone Village revealed the reason.

"And yet you people are so ungrateful, you even tried to steal Boss Bai's armor! Bah!"

The other old lighthouse keepers looked at each other, having heard of it themselves back then.

A white-haired woman rescued Lord Morgan and his companions on the ground, but they had no idea what happened afterward.
