Chapter 1 I’m in Deep Sh*t

The moment Ye Yang and I charged into the elevator, the doors slammed shut behind us.

It was then that I realized the elevator had no floor buttons. Once the doors closed, it began to plummet straight down.

At the same time, we heard sounds of metal being hammered from all directions.

Ye Yang suddenly said, "Hold on tight!"

I grabbed Ye Yang with one hand and Su Su with the other, stabilizing us just as a violent jolt shot up from below.

The elevator we were in seemed to have smashed through something before continuing its descent.

I was right. The Jin Sheng Corporation building was just a facade; the real secret realm was in the space below.

The elevator, now weightless, soon crashed onto the ground.

The force of the impact sent the three of us tumbling. When we got up, the elevator doors had already opened automatically, revealing only a pitch-black space outside.

The moment I stepped out, countless figures shrouded in phosphorescent light appeared in the space.

Barely a second later, those figures revealed their true, hideous forms. The phosphorescent light on their bodies turned into black armor, and they materialized weapons that gleamed with cold light.

Yin soldiers?

The Reincarnation Secret Realm was guarded by yin soldiers?

I said in a low voice, "Su Su, contact Lao Shang and have him send the Embroidered Uniform Guards as reinforcements. Ye Yang, let's go!"

As Ye Yang and I moved, a loud "hum" echoed from the opposite side. It was the sound of hundreds, even thousands, of longbows being drawn simultaneously.

A rain of arrows that blotted out the sky came crashing down with a whistling sound. Ye Yang and I accelerated at the same time, charging towards the army formation under the rain of arrows.

Normally, neither of us would risk charging into an army formation like this.

But now, with Su Su's blessing of luck, we dared to bet our lives on the might of this army formation.

As Ye Yang and I reached the halfway point, the overwhelming rain of arrows descended upon us. Countless arrows fell all around us, and clods of earth kicked up by the arrows rolled along the ground like dust. Yet, the sharp points of the arrows failed to harm us in the slightest.

Ye Yang and I closed within a few meters of the yin soldiers and leaped into the army formation at the same time. Our swords and sabers moved in unison, creating an empty space within the formation.

Our charge into the army formation was a desperate move.

Jianghu practitioners had always avoided confrontation with the government because the imperial court controlled an inexhaustible supply of troops.

No matter how high one's personal cultivation, it was difficult to break through thousands of soldiers and horses. Ordinary martial artists couldn't even withstand a single charge from an army formation.

Once government soldiers surrounded Jianghu practitioners, they would use their numbers to suppress the opponents' ability to move. When the opponents were surrounded on all sides, they could slowly exhaust them to death.

Ye Yang and I had already fallen into the Reincarnation Secret Realm, with no way to escape directly. Even though we knew charging into the army formation was a risky move, we had no choice but to engage them temporarily, buying Su Su time to contact reinforcements.

As soon as we landed in the army formation, we began to slash wildly with our blades. As endless phosphorescent sparks flew through the air, the surrounding figures vanished at a rapid pace.

However, more and more yin soldiers surrounded us from the outside.

At first, I could still assess the situation around me, but soon, I was left with only the instinct to swing my blades.

I knew very well that once a martial artist surrounded by an army formation lost his ability to assess the situation, it meant he was approaching death.

I subconsciously moved closer to Ye Yang, and he moved towards me as well. As we stood back to back, the army formation surrounding us compressed even further.

While swinging my blade, I asked, "Leng Gou, how much longer can you hold on?"

"At most, a quarter of an hour!" Ye Yang replied. I could already feel his arm trembling.

I swung my blades wildly, deflecting the yin soldiers in front of me. "I'll leave a secret killing technique for you. Break out and find reinforcements."

"I can't break out!" Ye Yang had no intention of leaving. "Let's just wait for Su Su to bring reinforcements!"

From the moment Ye Yang and I started fighting the yin soldiers, we hadn't seen Su Su.

What I didn't know was that at this moment, Su Su had already fallen out with Shang Xingyan. Su Su shouted sternly into the communication talisman, "Shang Xingyan, I'm asking you one more time, are you coming or not?"

Shang Xingyan said with a weeping voice, "I'm already here, but I can't mobilize the Embroidered Uniform Guards! I can't get into the place you guys are in."

Su Su cursed loudly, "Bullshit! The Underworld wouldn't ignore the chaos caused by yin soldiers, would they? If you can't mobilize the Embroidered Uniform Guards, mobilize the yin soldiers! Summon the ghost soldiers!"

Shang Xingyan stamped his feet anxiously, "There are no yin soldiers on your side at all!"

"The Supervisory Division and the civil officials are all watching our Embroidered Uniform Guards. I can't mobilize anyone!"

"The Young Master was set up. He was set up from the moment he plotted against the fake Nine Ghosts!"

Su Su said sternly, "Don't tell me this. I'm asking you, how can we save Li Po and Ye Yang now?"

Shang Xingyan also said anxiously, "Let me think! And you, hurry back and strengthen the Young Master and the others' luck."

As Su Su turned to run back, I was already channeling my true energy into my twin blades.

Since Su Su hadn't arrived, I had to find a way to get Ye Yang out first.

Whether he wanted to or not.
