Chapter 652: Chapter 0652: Responsible Young Man

During the late-night snack, Luo Yang asked the beauties to head back to Hongyun Brigade first.

He only kept Hong Jiaxin by his side.

The beauties knew Luo Yang was busy, even the two Village Beauties were considerate, not to mention the others.

While waiting for the Left and Right Protectors, Hong Jiaxin became curious and asked Luo Yang where he was going so late?

Luo Yang didn’t want to hide it from Hong Jiaxin, so he told her.

If it were during the day, that would be one thing.

Going to an isolated mountain stone cave to find three stone statues late at night was somewhat terrifying.

Luo Yang also brought Hong Jiaxin along out of necessity.

Letting her return to Hongyun Brigade alone, Zhang Jing might soon capture her.

Even if Zhang Jing didn’t make a move, there was no guarantee that Grandma Liu and Little Huizi wouldn’t.

With enemies right in the village, Luo Yang had to be careful and cautious.

Going during the day would appear safer on the surface.

But knowing the location and not taking care of the problem sooner, if they waited until the next night and things became trickier, they would regret it too late.

What Luo Yang could do was do his utmost to protect Hong Jiaxin.

Soon, the Left and Right Protectors arrived in the county.

Both groups joined up and decided to take a motorcycle taxi to go there.

But motorcycles couldn’t go directly to the destination, they still needed to walk a section of the mountain road.

Fortunately, there were stars that night, and with the help of the flashlights brought by the Left and Right Protectors, they could barely make their way.

Under Wu Yinghong’s guidance, they finally reached the entrance of the stone cave around the break of dawn.

They had thought the cave entrance would be large, but it turned out only one person could enter and exit at a time.

Wild grass had grown at the entrance, and it needed to be pushed aside to fully see the size of the entrance.

The wind howled, and insects chirped, which added a mysterious aura to the place.

Hong Jiaxin was brave, but at this moment, she also clung closely behind Luo Yang.

"Are there any candles inside?" Luo Yang asked.

"No," Wu Yinghong replied.

It turned out that Wu Yinghong only ever came here during the day.

This was his first time coming here at night.

The five people waited at the cave entrance for a while until the Left Protector said, "Let’s go in and take a look. Old Huang, you go ahead."

The Right Protector hesitated for a moment before taking the lead into the cave.

About 3 meters in, the space opened up suddenly.

Shining the flashlight around, the area was roughly the size of a basketball court.

A putrid smell of blood assaulted their nostrils, making them nauseous.

"Where are the stone statues?" Luo Yang asked.

Wu Yinghong walked over to a pool and shone his flashlight inside.

"Eh?! There’s only one left now!" Wu Yinghong exclaimed.

Next to the pool were the dead remains of chickens and ducks.

In the Blood Pool, indeed, a sinister stone statue was immersed in the bloody water.

Next to it were pieces of broken stone.

"Old Du, Old Huang, what’s going on?" Luo Yang exclaimed in surprise.

"This is my first time hearing about three stone statues. This shouldn’t be the founder of Ying Zhao Yan Xing Sect!" the Left Protector muttered.

Just then, a crackling sound could be heard.

The cave was very quiet, so even minor noises were very clear.

For Luo Yang, he identified the source as soon as the cracking sound started.

Indeed, it was coming from the intact stone statue that was breaking apart.

"Step back!" Luo Yang warned.

While retreating, everyone shone their flashlights on the stone statue.

They saw the statue slowly cracking open, as if something inside was about to come out.

The five of them had no experience with this kind of situation.

Just knowing two stone statues were missing was shocking enough.

To witness the third stone statue undergoing such a change, let alone Hong Jiaxin, even Luo Yang was on edge.

Although Luo Yang possessed X-Ray Ability, he was unable to see what was inside the stone statue.

Hong Jiaxin tugged on the hem of Luo Yang’s clothes from behind, and Luo Yang reached back to hold her hand.

"Old Du, Old Huang, what should we do?" Luo Yang asked.

Faced with an unfamiliar situation, Luo Yang didn’t know how to act.

Before coming here, the Left and Right Protectors thought they were looking for something.

But after arriving, they realized that the three stone statues weren’t as described in the legends.

"How about we leave first?" the Left Protector suggested.

From his trembling voice, it was clear that the Left Protector was terrified.

Luo Yang knew that if he just left like that, he’d never figure out what exactly was inside the statue.

"No, we must destroy it!" Luo Yang declared firmly.

No matter what it was, Luo Yang was prepared to face it.

Of course, Luo Yang was afraid too.

But thinking that whatever was inside the statue might come out and harm innocent people, he gritted his teeth and stayed.

With a series of cracking noises, the statue began to break apart at a faster rate.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the statue completely shattered, splashing a spray of blood from the blood pool.

Immediately, a black mass rushed forward.

Luo Yang swung his palm out immediately, using all the strength he had in his life.

He had True Qi in his body, and the wind from his palm roared as he sent it forward.

The black mass was deflected to the side by the palm’s force, then abruptly darted back.

This time, its target was Wu Yinghong.

By the time Luo Yang thought to strike again, he saw the black mist envelop Wu Yinghong.

In the blink of an eye, the mist seemed to have entered Wu Yinghong’s body.

All one could see was Wu Yinghong in pain, even more so in shock, his eyes wide and vacant.

"Look at his face!" Hong Jiaxin exclaimed.

Everyone looked closely at Wu Yinghong’s face to see his complexion slowly darkening, with black stripes moving beneath his skin.

"Save me!" Wu Yinghong cried.

"How do you feel?" Luo Yang asked.

"It’s like something is trying to take over my body! Save me quickly!" Wu Yinghong said with a trembling voice.

The fearful cry with a sobbing tone echoed in the cave.

"Young brother, what should we do?" Both the Left and Right Protectors were at a loss.

Luo Yang quickly regained his composure.

There was a Soul Beast living inside his sea of consciousness.

So Luo Yang asked the Soul Beast in his mind, "Do you recognize that black mist?"

The Soul Beast nodded.

Unfortunately, the Soul Beast could not talk, so Luo Yang had no way of knowing what that black mist was.

"Can you deal with it?" Luo Yang asked again.

But the Soul Beast shook its head.

"Is it very powerful?" Luo Yang asked once more.

The Soul Beast nodded again.

By this point, Wu Yinghong’s plea for help grew even louder.

"Please save me quickly!"

"Don’t be afraid! We will save you!"

Luo Yang suddenly remembered Zhang Jing and her grandchildren, feeling overjoyed in his heart.

Although he had been at odds with the three of them, he now eagerly wanted to see them, thinking they should be able to deal with whatever had entered Wu Yinghong’s body.

"Let’s go! We need to leave this place!" Luo Yang said.

However, Wu Yinghong seemed to find it difficult to move.

It was unclear whether it was due to extreme fright or something that was about to take control of his body as he trembled, his body stiffening, making it hard to move.

Seeing Wu Yinghong’s face turning darker and darker, not only Hong Jiaxin but also the Left and Right Protectors dared not get close to him.

Luo Yang then asked the Soul Beast in his mind, "Will I be attacked if I get close to him?"

The Soul Beast shook its head.

With this answer, Luo Yang felt much more composed.

"I’ll carry you on my back!"

With that, Luo Yang stepped forward.

"Young brother!"

"Luo Yang!"

"It’s okay, we need to take him back to the village."

Luo Yang had enough strength to carry Wu Yinghong out.

The mountain path was somewhat rugged, so they couldn’t move quickly.

Seeing Luo Yang so brave, the Left and Right Protectors also came forward to help Wu Yinghong onto Luo Yang’s back.

Thus, Hong Jiaxin took the lead, followed by Luo Yang, with the Left and Right Protectors bringing up the rear.

After exiting the stone cave, they returned along the same path they had come from.

There were no taxis or motorcycles to catch nearby; they had to walk about one kilometer to get to the side of the road.

The few hundred meters of mountain path, especially at night, was truly not easy.

Hong Jiaxin nearly fell several times.

"Squad leader, be careful," Luo Yang cautioned.
