Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 414 - 10 Raiders of the Lost Ark

Chapter 414: Chapter 10 Raiders of the Lost Ark

Yan Yu didn’t remember that in his past life, Chen Lingyun had such a “clingy” trait, following him everywhere he went to meddle.

Of course, it might have been because when they met in the previous life, the captain of Spirit Transport Team, Chen Lingyun, was already a woman in her early thirties, a singleton with a youthful face, and had long been in a high position with great authority over the team, which naturally made her more independent and assertive.

Whereas the current girl, not even twenty years old, although her disagreeable character had fully taken shape, was still a playful and curious young person, so she didn’t hesitate to show her youthful side in front of him.

Regardless, having her tag along with him was out of the question.

There were six people in the Zhenhai Team, and in total, only a captain and a vice-captain were in charge. Now both of the leaders had run off, Li Weiguo was sure to be furious—it was a completely different scenario from having only the captain absent, with a seriousness that was worlds apart.

Therefore, Yan Yu specially chose an auspicious morning when everyone was still asleep to make his escape!

...

About five minutes into his Sword Control flight, his cellphone suddenly rang.

[Chen Lingyun]: You left this early?

[Win Over with Virtue]: You noticed that quickly?

[Win Over with Virtue]: I was afraid you’d shamelessly follow me. Tell everyone I’ll come back after I finish scouting the place.

[Chen Lingyun]: Yeah, but it’s highly likely you’ll come up empty-handed.

[Chen Lingyun]: An object of interest to you might not necessarily mean the Mysterious Realm will quietly activate. Pingxi Army’s national territory surveillance isn’t that negligent.

[Win Over with Virtue]: I know, I’m just going to confirm it.

[Chen Lingyun]: Do you have any clues about the first location given by Long Eyebrow Immortal?

[Win Over with Virtue]: Not yet, even though I was given the location information, it was really just an image transmitted into my Sea of Consciousness. Without exact coordinates, there’s no way to know the place.

[Chen Lingyun]: If you could draw, you could sketch it out and take it to experts for identification.

[Win Over with Virtue]: But I can’t, so I can only describe it verbally.

[Chen Lingyun]: Why don’t you ask Huofeng Team to arrange a local guide for you?

[Win Over with Virtue]: That’s the plan.

Yan Yu immediately sent a message to Zhou Hongyu.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Need a favor.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Preferably someone familiar with Nanjiang or the Qingzang area, and make it snappy.

Zhou Hongyu didn’t reply, but after a few minutes, Tang Xiaolian did send a message.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Captain Yan, you need something?

[Win Over with Virtue]: I’m looking for a place approximately a thousand miles southwest of Shushan, where you can see snowy mountains, canyons, and a large waterfall. I heard you’re from Nanjiang; do you have any ideas about this?

After a long wait, the reply from the other end was slow to come.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Captain Yan, aren’t you a Jiangnan local? Now, if you ask me to find a mountain in your province with trees, flowers, and springs… Understand? Your request is just like that, how could I possibly find it?

[Win Over with Virtue]: I can’t help it, I only have an image, no specific coordinates or clear place names.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Send me the image.

[Win Over with Virtue]: It’s in my head.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Ah?

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Then you should draw it, as detailed as possible.

[Win Over with Virtue]: I can’t draw.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: …Then why don’t you ask the leaders of Zhendong Army to arrange a professional artist for you? It should be simple for them. And with a geographic intelligence team, they could locate it directly from the drawing. You wouldn’t even need to search by yourself.

[Win Over with Virtue]: It’s a personal matter and not appropriate to report to the higher-ups, which is why I turned to you guys from Huofeng Team for help.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Sigh, for the sake of Captain Yan’s guidance during my Marrow Cleansing last time, I’ll reluctantly offer my assistance this time, but no guarantees of success, okay?

[Win Over with Virtue]: Thanks a lot, next time we compete with Huofeng Team, I’ll go easy on you for a few moves.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: There’s no need for that. Captain Zhou will thrash you /fist /fist.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: [Location Coordinates]

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Is Captain Yan coming over by Sword Control? Find me here.

Yan Yu opened the coordinates and saw they were for a guesthouse in the Sangchuan Prefecture of Nanjiang Province, called “Brocade Sheng Tang Guesthouse”.

Such a tacky name… If I saw this name on a review app, I wouldn’t even click on it, right?

After searching the name on the review app, Yan Yu was surprised to find that it had a high rating, all five stars, but the comments were a mix of praise and criticism.

The praises mentioned the beautiful scenery surrounding the guesthouse, breathtaking everywhere, while the criticisms were about the high prices, its distance from the city center of Sangchuan Prefecture, and the owner’s daughter having a very sulky face among other things… Who is the last comment talking about?

Haha.

Yan Yu, controlling his sword, headed westward and could clearly see the terrain of the entire landmass gradually rising, with increasingly more mountains and rivers.

Chen Lingyun said that Pingxi Army’s national land screening is very strict, and although I don’t disbelieve her, how strict can it really be? The Hengduan mountain range is so vast, how many hidden valleys, caves, and plant life exist beneath? Neither surveillance satellites nor patrolling drones are effective here.

In my previous life, those civilian cultivators who were not under official control, without formal training, where did they get their cultivation resources from? Isn’t it obvious? Of course, they obtained them through various odd clues and explorations in remote locations far from the cities.

Now, I, Yan Yu, am about to transform into Indiana Jones and embark on a thrilling treasure hunt!

Following the positioning on his phone, Yan Yu finally arrived at Sangchuan Prefecture and descended at the location Tang Xiaolian had given him.

He easily found the Brocade Sheng Tang Residence because it stood alone amidst vast grasslands, impossible to miss even if one wanted to.

Walking inside, he saw a woman in her forties sitting behind the front desk, smiling and asking:

“Checking in? Do you have a reservation?”

“I’m looking for Tang Xiaolian,” Yan Yu said.

“Oh, so you’re the friend Xiaolian mentioned,” the woman immediately showed understanding, “She’s in the yard taking photos with guests.”

The so-called open-air yard was just an enclosure made with a fence around the outside of the guesthouse.

Yan Yu’s gaze through the large glass balcony door spotted Tang Xiaolian wearing minority ethnic clothes, with bright makeup, holding a small sheep that was grazing, and taking pictures with two young female guests.

Pretending to be Princess Wen Cheng, are you?

He wasn’t in a rush to approach her and simply sat down in a nearby chair, casually stroking the large dog lying at his feet.

However, Tang Xiaolian soon noticed him, said a few words to the guests, let go of the sheep’s neck strap, and jogged over with her hands lifting her skirt.

“Captain Yan,” she greeted him, “you’ve arrived.”

“Just continue with your work, don’t mind me,” Yan Yu said lazily while enjoying the distant scenery.

“It’s not exactly work,” Tang Xiaolian waved her hand and said, “My parents are now living in the Military Manor, unable to tend to the guesthouse here, so I just come back occasionally to help out.”

“So your so-called helping out is to dress up as a minority ethnic girl and take commemorative photos with the guests?” Yan Yu chuckled, “Why not add a khata to the act?”

“I did that before,” Tang Xiaolian laughed, “but I don’t know how to wrap it properly. One time I almost strangled a guest, so I was strictly forbidden from doing it afterward.”

She checked her phone and suddenly said:

“Sister Lu is almost here, I’ll go welcome her.”

“Sister Lu is?”

“From Nanjiang Academy of Fine Arts.”

Oh, an artist.

Yan Yu continued to wait, and soon saw Tang Xiaolian returning with a female university student.

This student was tall and slender, wearing black-framed glasses, and seemed to have a quiet temperament; however, the moment she saw Yan Yu, she lost her composure, exclaiming, “Captain Yan, I am your fan,” and “Captain Yan, please give me an autograph,” leaving Yan Yu speechless but obliging with a personalized autograph and a photo session to calm her excitement.

“Why doesn’t Sister Lu want my autograph and photo?” Tang Xiaolian was dumbfounded.

“How can you compare with Captain Yan?” The university student rolled her eyes at her.

“I didn’t ask you here to fangirl!” Tang Xiaolian snapped back, pushing her, “Get to work now!”

“Alright, alright,” the university student took out her sketching tools and began drawing on-site based on Yan Yu’s description of the situation.
