Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: You've Asked the Wrong Person

"Sister, calm down!" Seeing Master Yun Miao's fiery temperament, immediately resorting to violence upon their first meeting, several members of the Dragon Group also became nervous.

Duan Ren shouted, but Master Yun Miao didn't even listen. A flash of sword light, like a white rainbow, directly aimed at Yang Chen's throat!

This was really life-threatening!

Yang Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect this monk to be so volatile. But faced with the imminent threat of a sword, he remained calm. With a perfect step, he unexpectedly flashed behind Master Yun Miao, catching everyone off guard.

Master Yun Miao's sword missed, and she instantly turned around, only to see Yang Chen standing behind her beloved disciple, the cold-faced young nun.

The young nun blinked her big watery eyes, looking timid and fearful as Yang Chen stared at her intently, causing two rosy blushes to appear on her beautiful face.

"Sister..." The young nun murmured with some fear.

Yang Chen found it amusing. The young nun's gaze resembled the purest and flawless jade, emanating a natural and transparent aura all over her body. If she hadn't spent her entire life in the remote mountains, she wouldn't be so extraordinary.

"Little girl, how old are you this year? Are you in love?" Yang Chen couldn't help but tease the adorable young nun.

"Huh?" The young nun seemed to have no idea what Yang Chen meant. She blinked her eyes, looking confused.

Master Yun Miao's face flushed with anger. "How dare you openly flirt with my disciple! Do you think I'm easy to bully, Yun Miao?!"

With that, Master Yun Miao swung her long sword again, this time even more swiftly, with a fierce sword aura preceding it!

Yang Chen dared not linger. He had to dodge back and forth in the small camp, with each evasion followed by a sharp sword aura, the sound of air rupturing constantly echoing.

Master Yun Miao's swordsmanship was relentless, and the vigorous sword aura tore holes in the military tents everywhere!

The others found it difficult to intervene, so they could only watch as Yang Chen was chased around by Master Yun Miao, dodging and jumping around, creating chaos in the camp.

The young nun stood dumbfounded, watching her master chase the strange man everywhere, feeling a bit worried for him. When her master got angry, it was indeed terrifying!

"Disciple! Is all you know how to do is run?!"

Discovering that despite dozens of strikes, Yang Chen's clothes remained untouched, Master Yun Miao stopped her sword movements, her face pale with disbelief.

Yang Chen also stopped, chuckling, "You truly live up to being one of the few great descendants of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. Your swordsmanship is indeed remarkable. I dare not confront it head-on, so running away seems more suitable for me."

"Hmph, even if you dare, you might not be able to handle it!" Master Yun Miao sheathed her sword, showing a hint of satisfaction. "You know that my sword technique originates from Shu Mountain, showing some insight. Let's not dwell on this for now. After this major event is over, we'll settle our accounts!"

The members of the Dragon Group breathed a sigh of relief. Although Master Yun Miao was one of the Eight Masters, she was also one of the oldest and most respected figures in the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. They dared not offend her.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master. Let's discuss the matter at hand," Duan Ren said with a wry smile.

Master Yun Miao nodded and waved to the dumbfounded young nun standing nearby. "Huilin, come here, don't let that disciple get close!"

"So your name is Huilin?" Yang Chen approached Huilin with a smile.

The young nun, Huilin, looked at him fearfully, then quickly ran to stand behind Master Yun Miao, obediently like a little kitten. Yang Chen looked regretful. Honestly, this was the first time he had seen a nun. This was the "Nun of the Fiery Summer"! Nuns were the easiest to provoke impure thoughts. So he was quite interested. Although these two Taoist nuns weren't pure nuns, they were still very attractive. But now, the elder one wanted to hit him, and the younger one was afraid of him. What kind of situation was this?

"Huilin is Master Yun Miao's closed-door disciple. Your Majesty the King of the Underworld, please don't be too presumptuous," Duan Ren intervened.

Yang Chen waved his hand. "Got it, got it. Let's talk business. It's almost dawn, and once the day breaks, those bald donkeys will surely make a move."

Master Yun Miao furrowed her brows. "What bald donkeys?! Even if Danzhe and the Four Secret Sect Masters rebel, they are still high monks of Tibetan Buddhism reincarnation. How dare you, a cowardly disciple who only knows how to run away, call them by such disrespectful names?!"

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly and simply shut his mouth. It seemed that his slightly lecherous gaze had angered this old Taoist nun quite a bit. It was better to keep a low profile.

As for the young nun Huilin, she peeked at Yang Chen, her gem-like eyes filled with curiosity, as if she had never seen anyone like him before.

Seeing the situation stabilize, Duan Ren began to explain the details of the upcoming assault.

Opening a spectrometer, a projected map appeared on the tent's curtains, showing the specific terrain of the Danjiang area.

Pointing at the map, Duan Ren explained, "Our current position is above the gorge. Below is a small alluvial plain, and the Panlong Ancient Temple is located to the south of this plain. Danzhe and the other five intend to leave. Unless they use a helicopter, they must pass through the eastern gorge pass. If they pass through that pass and continue forward, they'll be out of our jurisdiction in no time. By then, the Indian military will cooperate with them, and we won't be able to interfere further."

"So, we must intercept them in the valley and reclaim the Dharma Body of the Tathagata," Master Yun Miao said.

"Exactly," Duan Ren nodded, then turned to the silent Tsunami. "Any news from the Blue Storm team?"

Tsunami shook his head. "We haven't received any reports of the Blue Storm team breaching our borders yet. But it's possible they're using advanced technology to evade radar detection."

"Our radar technology is unlikely to detect them unless they want to be detected," Ye Zi added.

"Hmph, detecting what? If they come, it's perfect. I've been itching for action," Tian Long scoffed disdainfully.

Ignoring Tian Long's impulsive remarks, Duan Ren continued, "Regardless of whether they arrive or not, if they want to enter the Panlong Ancient Temple, they must pass through the valley or use a helicopter. So as long as we focus on defense, we won't be caught off guard."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The route was fixed, making it easier to handle.

Standing on the outskirts, Yang Chen listened to their meeting and raised his hand. "Captain, are you sure there are only three members of the Blue Storm team?"

"I received information from headquarters that there are three," Duan Ren replied straightforwardly.

"Are you sure their people haven't reached the Lama Temple below?" Yang Chen asked again.

Duan Ren frowned. "Your Majesty the King of the Underworld, please don't doubt the accuracy of my intelligence. I directly communicate with headquarters to obtain precise information. So far, we have sealed off the valley and the airspace above this area. Even if a bird flies into the valley, we would know in advance!"

"Hey, kid, if you don't understand, don't ask randomly. We still need to discuss our battle plan," Huo Pao said displeasedly.

Yang Chen smiled apologetically and stopped asking further questions, but a hint of doubt lingered in his eyes.

The planning proceeded swiftly. Huo Pao, as the strategic assault leader, naturally led the team of soldiers in a frontal assault. Tian Long, Kuang Feng, and Da Jiao, skilled in combat, provided assistance from the side. Tian Long's strength surpassed that of any lama, while Kuang Feng and Da Jiao could engage in containment. With Ye Lang as the strategic sniper positioned above the gorge, he could exert pressure and instantly eliminate an enemy if given the opportunity.

Master Yun Miao, along with Ye Zi and Tsunami, were responsible for blocking the valley mouth, while Duan Ren took charge of overall command.

When it came to Yang Chen's turn, Duan Ren directly said, "If the Blue Storm team arrives as scheduled to support Danzhe and his group, we'll rely on Your Majesty the King of the Underworld to distract them. After all, in conflicts with major foreign covert organizations, I believe Your Majesty, as the founder of Zero, should be the most experienced."

In essence, it meant that Yang Chen was solely responsible for the members of the Blue Storm team.

"This coward who only knows how to run away, I think you've got the wrong person, Duan Ren," Master Yun Miao sneered disdainfully.

"He runs quite fast," Tian Long taunted, glancing at Yang Chen. "After this is over, let's have a match. You can run if you want. My Dragon Steps are pretty good."

Yang Chen wore a troubled expression, furrowing his brows. "Can't I switch positions? I'm decent with a gun. How about letting me switch with Ye Lang? I can go snipe from a prone position."

"No switch. I'm the best strategic sniper," Ye Lang replied expressionlessly, rejecting the suggestion directly.

Successful individuals in certain fields often exhibited strong, even obsessive, self-confidence in their expertise.

"The capable should be given more tasks. Your Majesty, please bear with it," Duan Ren concluded confidently.

As dawn approached, everyone began preparing for the battle in a hurry. Weapons and equipment needed adjustments and checks, so they dispersed to handle their respective tasks. Yang Chen sat alone in the large tent, watching Huilin, the young nun, who was sitting obediently in meditation behind Master Yun Miao. In this dull environment, only this young nun seemed to bring a hint of liveliness to him.

However, Huilin blushed occasionally from being stared at and gradually understood why her master wanted to wield her sword against this "bad man."

At this moment, Ye Zi walked into the tent with a cup of hot water, observing the scene. With a slight smile, she hesitated before handing the cup to Yang Chen. "Your Majesty the King of the Underworld, have some water."

"Oh, thanks." Yang Chen naturally accepted the cup but asked with a grin, "This water isn't poisoned, is it?"

Ye Zi paused, pouting. "Rest assured, it's not poisoned. Besides, poisoning you wouldn't do any good, would it?"

"Heh, poison is like pesticides on vegetables. Regular folks eating those vegetables are fine, and even if I ingest poisoned ones, I'll be fine too. But regardless, consuming vegetables with pesticides isn't good for health. So it's best to eat less," Yang Chen said, taking a sip of the hot water.

Ye Zi bit her lip. "You must dislike me a lot. I actually wanted to refuse earlier. After all, harming civilians isn't our style, but Captain Duan Ren's plan is meticulous. If I don't cooperate, I'll let down the other team members."

"I don't dislike you, I just don't like Duan Ren much. He talks too much," Yang Chen replied, pursing his lips.

Ye Zi smiled faintly. "The captain just took office, so he's naturally afraid of making mistakes. It's normal for him to talk more. Your Majesty the King of the Underworld, please rest. I'll go out and work."

Before Yezi could leave the tent, Yang Chen spoke up, "Just call me Big Brother Yang. I really don't like it when you address me as 'Your Excellency'."

Yezi paused in her steps, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes. She turned around and bowed to Yang Chen, "Alright, Big Brother Yang."

Watching Yezi happily dash out of the tent, Yang Chen felt a sense of relief. He could tell that Yezi was struggling internally. For such a young girl to engage in such deceitful and poisonous schemes, even for a top-notch trained agent, it wouldn't be an easy task.

Suddenly, Abbess Yun Miao, who had been sitting on a meditation cushion with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and let out a cold laugh, "Apart from seducing young girls, what else can you do?" It was evident that she thought Yang Chen was trying to lure Yezi into a trap.

Yang Chen was puzzled by why this Daoist nun he had just met was antagonizing him. He rolled his eyes and retorted, "I can also seduce older women, like you, Abbess."
