Reborn Conceited Soldier

As for Sikong Banyu, he was led by Hong Ling into a black door and appeared in the middle of a wide karst cave. The karst cave was formed naturally, and in the middle of the karst cave was a three-meter tall platform. On top of the platform were twelve three-foot tall pillars filled with runes.    

    

Below the stage, there were eight teams of soldiers, each of which were dressed in their golden armors with the heads of tigers sheared off. There were twenty-four of them, and there were one hundred and ninety-two of them, standing there quietly in their bronze masks. However, these soldiers exuded a cold and gloomy aura, as if they were formed from countless death auras. An indescribable feeling of coldness emanated from them.    

    

When Sikong Banyu saw the soldiers, he couldn't help but sigh: "A soldier that stops fighting is like a tiger that loses its claws, it really makes one sigh!"    

    

These soldiers were extremely vicious, and their iron aura was still strong even after so many years of cleaning. One could only imagine how many massacres these soldiers had been tempered with, but it was a pity that these soldiers who should have been on the battlefield were sent here to protect and stop their advance. This was a type of sadness, but also a type of regret!    

    

"Isn't it better to stop fighting? At the very least, their lives don't have to be as uncontrollable as on the battlefield. They can control it and live a peaceful life. What are you sighing about? Could it be that if they die on the battlefield, they won't be sighed? " Hong Ling glanced at Sikong Banyu and followed a path built on the wall of the cave towards the altar in the middle.    

    

Sikong Banyu followed in Hong Ling's footsteps and said lightly, "That's not true. Soldiers are born on the battlefield, just like a general who suddenly asked him to become a civil servant. Although he still has the original ability, he has lost the use of force. "These soldiers are extremely vicious. Every single one of them walked out from the mountains of corpses and the seas of blood. To them, the battlefield is a 'paradise'. Even if they were to die in the end, they would die with peace of mind."    

    

"But now, they are floating above the ground, and they will eventually grow old. Sigh …" It seems like there was no other way your Witch Clan back then! Otherwise, we would not have allowed such elite soldiers to live in such a cold and gloomy corner. "    

    

When the Tiger Soul Knife was sealed here, Chi You had already died in battle, his entire Witch Clan had lost its power, and he was no longer able to continue fighting. The remaining elite Witch Clan s either continued to fight against the Yellow Emperor, in the end they were killed, or they retreated, never to fight again. These soldiers should have been chosen from the second option!    

    

Hong Ling was silent for a long time before she sighed and said, "Every June the sixth, the cave is filled with the sounds of gold and iron, accompanied by a continuous stream of roars. It's just as you said, their mission is on the battlefield, and they aren't willing to display it here. When they were alive, they had already lost all their power within their Witch Clan and became invisible because of it. But the resentment and battle spirit after death will not disappear, but it's a pity that the heavens will not bless my Witch Clan!     

    

"According to the records of our ancestors, the eight hundred soldiers of the Hubing Battalion who served under the High Lord were all terrified, but with the defeat of the High Lord, all of them had disappeared. The remaining soldiers of the Huban Battalion were scattered all over the place, some were guarding the Tiger Soul Knife, some were buried under the corpse of the High Lord, and some were trying to avenge the High Lord and assassinate Xuanyuan Po.    

    

Sikong Banyu let out a soft sigh when he heard this. He looked at the standing soldiers of the Hubai Battalion, cupped his hands, and bowed as he said in a clear voice, "Your heroic spirits are worthy of respect. Chi You's loyal subordinates are his good fortune."    

    

Loyalty... A noun with double quotation marks. Many people wished to have it, but not many could. Even Sikong Banyu could only sigh because of that, because he believed too much in loyalty, which was why he ended up betraying it. As a result, he still admired loyalty.    

    

Hong Ling glanced at Sikong Banyu and had a better impression of him. She pointed to the middle of the stage and said, "That is the entrance to where the Tiger Soul Knife are stored. Wait for me here."    

    

With that, Hong Ling flew onto the platform and walked to the center of the platform. She solemnly bowed to the bones on the eight pillars and stood up. With a shake of her hand, a strange bone the size of a palm appeared.    

    

Hong Ling held the bone in one hand and formed a seal with the other as she muttered an incantation. At the same time, the bone in Hong Ling's hand emitted a black Qi that quickly spread to the center of the stage, and the runes carved on the bones, as if they were alive, flew out one after another and flew towards the eight dried bones beside them. In an instant, a black vortex slowly formed between the eyebrows of the dried bones.    

    

Seeing this scene, Sikong Banyu frowned and shouted, "Miss Hong Ling, please wait."    

    

When Hong Ling heard that, she turned around and looked at Sikong Banyu in puzzlement, not understanding what he was trying to do.    

    

"Miss Hong Ling, you are opening the door to the Tiger Soul Knife's location right?" Sikong Banyu asked.    

    

"Not bad …"    

    

"The Tiger Soul Knife's killing intent is overbearing, and can't be easily approached. I can't go there yet, but I still need to prepare some methods and things in order be able to restrict the killing intent of the Tiger Soul Knife. "    

    

"Eh?" Hong Ling paused for a moment and waved her hand at the bone in her hand. Immediately, the black mist was sucked back into the black vortex. The black vortex on the forehead of the twelve corpses slowly disappeared along with Hong Ling as she came to a stop.    

    

"What do you mean? Since you still need to prepare some tricks, why didn't you say so earlier? And right now, other than you and me, there is no one else here. Even if you need anything else, I might not necessarily have it. "    

    

Although Hong Ling wasn't as cautious towards Sikong Banyu as before, she was still cautious now. If it weren't for the fact that Sikong Banyu could really clear the infernal energy, they would never have brought Sikong Banyu here. This was an important place, the crux of the Twelve Heavens Divine Evil Formation, so naturally Sikong Banyu's actions and words would have affected Hong Ling's mental state. After all, Sikong Banyu's words seemed like he was raising the price on the spot, and also seemed like he might be delaying it.    

    

"Hehe …" Miss Hong Ling misunderstood. I mean, I still need to prepare, not give me anything. "
