Chapter 156: Ghost Town?!
According to Ye Huan's request when sending Jin Zhengyang away from Tianyue City, Jin Zhengyang would return to his side after handing over the cities occupied by Goryeo to the respective city guards. This was to avoid unnecessary troubles.
Now it seemed that this undoubtedly paved a smooth path for Ye Huan to attack Willow Village, alleviating many concerns. Additionally, with the Goryeo Army having left Tianyue and abandoned various defensive equipment and supplies, Ye Huan could completely entrust the aftermath of Tianyue City to Zuo Yi and prepare to launch an attack on Willow Village at any time.
Another day passed, and seeing that there was still no change in the 2012 Arms Compendium, Ye Huan lost interest in watching it slowly absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. He decided to leave Tianyue City alone under the pretense of reconnaissance. He brought down all three hundred members of Dragon Hall and traveled along the official road without using any transportation.
From sunrise to dusk, after a whole day of walking in clothes that resembled those of the common people of Tianyue City, Ye Huan arrived at the outskirts of Willow Village. He summoned a Barrett rifle and hid in a large tree two hundred meters away from Willow Village, carefully observing through the scope.
To be honest, the name Willow Village was quite fitting. Through the scope, Ye Huan could clearly see that there were indeed an abundance of willow trees within the village. Perhaps due to the approaching spring, many willows had sprouted tender green buds, looking vibrant and full of life.
However, before Ye Huan could indulge in poetic thoughts about these willows, a group of individuals dressed in black tight-fitting clothing with masks appeared in his line of sight. It was evident that these people were a variant of martial artists—ninja from Eastern Japan. Yet what truly caught Ye Huan's attention was not them but rather a stretcher they were carrying.
Due to the distance and the coarse rope binding a layer of white cloth over the stretcher, Ye Huan couldn't see clearly who or what was being carried. However, he could guess with certainty that it was someone from Huaxia Nation; otherwise, why would they need to bind their companion with ropes? Unconsciously, Ye Huan felt compelled to rescue that person and take a look inside Willow Village to see what kind of abilities these rumored ninjas possessed that made them abandon their martial arts for such underhanded tactics.
He summoned a tactical suit along with sunglasses and an M4A1 assault rifle. While preparing his gear, he continued observing through the Barrett's scope until the group of Japanese ninjas carried the stretcher into a house at the center of Willow Village. Only then did he put down the Barrett and don his equipment, quietly waiting for nightfall. It was only under cover of darkness that he could infiltrate Willow Village without drawing attention; otherwise, he risked alarming those Eastern Ninjas.
As time passed minute by minute, after more than two hours had gone by and darkness enveloped the sky with only a crescent moon hanging above, Ye Huan moved swiftly toward Willow Village like a spirit in the night.
Willow Village was not large, with only about a thousand households. Perhaps due to its location along the main road, which made it susceptible to theft, the village was surrounded by walls nearly three meters high. Unfortunately, while these walls might deter petty thieves, they were no match for Ye Huan.
With a powerful push against the ground, Ye Huan leaped effortlessly over the wall, showing off a physical prowess far beyond that of an ordinary Professional.
He swiftly pulled a Triangular Bayonet from his boot and slung an M4A1 assault rifle equipped with a Silencer over his shoulder. Landing inside the walls, Ye Huan made not a sound as he dashed toward the house he had seen during the day, his form becoming a mere shadow.
Arriving at the door of the house, Ye Huan felt that things were going too smoothly. He decided to use his Cultivator abilities to extend his Divine Sense. To his surprise, he sensed that there was not a single living soul in all of Willow Village!
"Could this be a ghost town?" Having watched numerous horror films and taken many lives, combined with the cold moonlight illuminating the ground, Ye Huan's thoughts were undoubtedly more unique than usual.
Just then, as if to confirm his suspicions, a cold wind swept through, sending chills down his spine. He froze in place until some time passed before he remembered that besides being a Summoner, he was also a Cultivator. What did Cultivators do? Essentially, they were akin to the demon hunters Ye Huan had known before—powerful beings capable of exorcising evil spirits. If there were truly ghosts around, they would likely flee upon sensing the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy emanating from him.
Cursing himself for being so timid, Ye Huan glanced around before slowly placing a hand on the door of the house. Unlike those of wealthy households, the doors in Willow Village were almost always secured from within with wooden bolts. To push it open would require breaking the bolt inside. Fortunately for him, Ye Huan was no ordinary visitor; others might have struggled to gain entry.
He sheathed the Triangular Bayonet back into his right boot and reached into his left boot to pull out a D80 Tiger Tooth knife. He slid the knife into the gap of the door and forcefully scraped it across; the wooden bolt inside offered no resistance at all.
Thinking that the interior space should not be large and that there would be little room for maneuvering with an M4A1 assault rifle, Ye Huan summoned a Desert Eagle instead. After securing the Tiger Tooth knife, he gripped the Desert Eagle tightly and pushed open the door.
As the door creaked open, darkness enveloped the room. Although Ye Huan was a Cultivator, seeing clearly in such darkness proved challenging. Reluctantly, he detached the Military Flashlight from his M4A1 and switched it on as he pointed it inside.
The beam illuminated a small room of about ten square meters—completely empty. There was nothing but an old wooden bed; gone was the figure he had seen earlier through his scope at dusk. This left Ye Huan feeling bewildered; even during his vigil waiting for nightfall, he had been observing through his Barrett scope and had not seen anyone leave this house!
So where did everyone go?!
The motherboard got water damaged. I sent it for repair yesterday, and I can pick it up tomorrow. I've been typing at the internet café, so there are two updates for yesterday and today. Tomorrow, everything will return to normal.
