Yuan Yao only hoped to suffer less tornt, so he was very cooperative along the way, afraid that Ding Ling would kill him out of displeasure.
Because Ding Ling said himself that keeping one hostage was actually quite sufficient.
This left Yuan Yao in fear, and his performance often outshone Yuan Yin’s.
He hoped that if soone must die, it would be Yuan Yin.
Initially, Yuan Yin didn’t sense it, but later noticed, becoming sorrowful and furious, naturally despising and scornful of Yuan Yao, along with a sense of anger and disappointnt!
Yuan Yao was indifferent.
As long as one is alive, anything is possible; if dead, then truly nothing remains.
...
Diao Chan and Ding Ling set off light this ti.
Both wore only leather armor.
This allowed their speed and reflexes to reach their limits.
Wearing heavy armor on horseback was advantageous for defense.
But wearing it after dismounting was unwise, since this ti Ding Ling and the others were on a reconnaissance mission, not confronting the enemy head-on.
Of course.
If it does co down to a direct confrontation, they must have reliable support.
Considering this point.
Ding Ling had Zhao Yun wear heavy armor, waiting in the dense woods outside Que Mountain City gate.
He and Diao Chan used the body technique, silently soaring like drifting clouds to the corner of the city wall.
Seeing them, Zhao Yun was envious.
He hoped to one day master Lightweight Body Technique to such proficiency.
Because his Lightweight Skill was lacking, he did the support role.
Whizz!
Ding Ling motioned for Diao Chan to go up first, striking a pose while Diao Chan lightly nodded, rapidly utilizing the Breathing Technique, activating the Flying Swallow Technique, and leaped over one zhang high as Ding Ling jumped and lifted her feet heavily with both hands.
Taking advantage, she spun gracefully, her lithe body soared higher, leaping over another zhang, gently landing on the edge of the city wall like a feather, swiftly scanning around.
Seeing people guarding the front, she imdiately hid and followed as the guards moved to the other side.
She then waved to Ding Ling.
Ding Ling, more direct, activated Ascending Skill, Wall-Climbing Technique, and Five Animals Qigong simultaneously, leaping over three zhang, lightly tapping the wall, easily landing on the city wall.
Diao Chan watched with admiration.
Such ease.
She admitted she couldn’t do it.
At most, she could leap over three zhang with full effort, but the commotion would be significant, alerting the soldiers.
Ding Ling, on the other hand, effortlessly completed it.
Obviously, he didn’t exert full power!
"Let’s go."
Ding Ling, carrying the Six-Stone Bow, arrow pouch, holding the Giant Que Sword, activated Ascending Skill, Wall-Climbing Technique, and Five Animals Qigong simultaneously, enhanced by two Breathing Techniques.
He beca swift like lightning, agile like a crane, steady like Mount Tai, unmoving but montarily darting out tens of ters like a rabbit.
Diao Chan followed closely.
Graceful like a maple leaf!
Her speed was equally fast.
The two moved one after another, circling the city wall, their figures ghostly, hard for outsiders to notice.
After finishing a lap.
Ding Ling, high above, locked onto a spot.
The military camp at the city west.
Where lanterns brightly lit.
People busily moved around, bustling with activity.
Yet in the middle, a large tent saw few visit, guarded by nearly a hundred elite troops.
Ding Ling desired going there, he could only knock out soldiers and infiltrate disguised in their armor.
And seeing the camp seemingly lax, unchecked, increased his confidence.
No wonder the Yellow Turban Army was renowned for chaos and disorganization!
No wonder Zhang Jiao’s death led to their swift defeat.
Only Zhang Feiyan’s Black Mountain Army had so achievents; the rest were weak, not without reason.
Ding Ling already targeted armor of a soldier resembling him.
Circling the city wall again, upon passing by him, decisively knocked him out, dragging him into a concealed corner, Ding Ling then donned his armor, helt, casually sared black soot on his face making one unable to discern his original appearance upon casual glance before stopping.
Helped Diao Chan put on armor as well.
With Makeup Skill mastery, to avoid Diao Chan’s face revealing too striking, Ding Ling simply used black soot, white ash to turn her into a "Cinderella".
"Alright, let’s go."
The two moved swiftly, avoiding Yellow Turban Thieves along the way.
If unavoidable.
They openly walked past.
Unexpectedly no one questioned.
Ding Ling sighed relief while musing: Such corruption and lack of discipline. They deserved annihilation!
Perhaps thinking no one would attack now?
Relaxed then?
Had guards at the gate and stationed on the walls, maybe for the Yellow Turban Thieves, not warti, this sufficed?
Speculated Ding Ling, smoothly reaching the military camp.
Finally scrutinized and casually questioned.
Ding Ling’s full-level acting activated, casually replying.
Being so composed, even though his answers seed nonsensical, arousing suspicion, upon bribing the other with silver, his doubts quickly vanished.
And patting Ding Ling’s shoulder said:
"All brothers from the sa camp, you didn’t know the rules, from Yingchuan perhaps?"
"Correct."
"Hmm."
He spoke to himself:
"Recently many Yingchuan brothers arrived, unfamiliar to . Different rules there are normal. But soon, when Heaven-Cutting Yaksha Marshal Hex arrives. Might tighten control over us, so won’t be as easy."
Ding Ling realized.
No wonder seeming lax.
Multiple Yellow Turban Thieves Great Army mixed together.
No unified command, chaos inevitable.
Understanding now, instantly expressed admiration for the master, sought station at Marshal’s camp, offering more gold and silver for assistance.
His eyes brightened, promptly assured him it’s handled.
Finishing words, ran swiftly.
Soon.
Returned, brought two soldiers resembling Ding Ling, Diao Chan in height and build.
"Brother, see, replace them both..."
Exchanged words.
Paid generously.
Other satisfied left.
Musing Yingchuan brothers wealthy.
Ding Ling knew secrets don’t last, this wouldn’t remain hidden long.
Led Diao Chan imdiately by Marshal’s camp, eavesdropping inside conversation.
Now Liu Pi discussed dealing with Ding Ling.
Thus Ding Ling heard clear.
Surprised, angry, musing such coincidence, why discuss him now?
Or perhaps?
They discussed long ago.
Exact details unknown to Ding Ling.
Since they intended harm.
