Chapter 37 -37: The Storage Necklace, Assault into the Mountains
Under the silvery glow of the moon.
Liang Hui sat cross-legged at the front of the carriage, holding the reins and driving the horses.
The woman in green held one rein in one hand while wiping the bloodstains on her body with a piece of silk she had produced from nowhere.
Between the two of them was only silence, with the constant creaking of the carriage wheels rolling on the road.
“Divine Soldiers Valley, is it the Divine Soldiers Valley of Leizhou?” Liang Hui looked at the scattered moonlight and spoke first.
Liang Hui, being in Leizhou, of course, heard of this state’s overlord—Divine Soldiers Valley!
In the Great Zhou, it was a top sect that focused on the Martial Path.
“In the millions of miles of mountains and rivers in Leizhou, apart from this sect, there shouldn’t be any other sects bold enough to call themselves that.”
Tang Tang’s hand wiping the blood paused, her words tinged with an unmistakable pride.
“On returning to my hometown this time, I intended to clean up some bandit troubles in the vicinity, but I underestimated the strength of Black Wind Encampment and almost got surrounded and killed.”
Some embarrassment crept into the woman’s speech.
After exchanging a few sentences, the two fell into silence again.
About an hour later, they arrived at the village that was once brightly lit.
However, at this moment, all the light and noise in the village had completely vanished.
Only the pungent smell of blood wafted through the air, attracting a host of wild animals to prowl around the area.
“This village served as a lookout for Black Wind Encampment, providing information to the horse bandits in the mountains, but I’ve slaughtered all its people.”
Tang Tang pointed at the ruined village.
She then spurred her horse into a gallop, driving away the wild animals while shouting:
“Tai Yi, keep up, Black Wind Encampment is in the mountain range behind the village.”
Liang Hui nodded and followed her into the village with the carriage.
Heaps of corpses lay on both sides of the road, each one with their tendons and bones utterly shattered, their bodies limp like noodles, scattered in a ghastly state.
Amidst such a scene, Liang Hui’s gaze involuntarily flickered toward the war hammer on Tang Tang’s horseback.
When fighting against martial artists who were experts in heavy weapons like hammers in the future, I must avoid even the slightest graze.
Liang Hui even doubted that fully learning Hard Qigong could withstand several hits from such hammers.
In the midst of his thoughts, the two had already crossed the village and entered the mountains.
Upon entering the range, they saw many signs of combat, with numerous trees broken along the way, bloodstains still smeared on them, not fully cleaned off.
The deeper they went, the more treacherous the terrain became, and the traces of combat grew more brutal.
“Let’s stop the carriage here; the road ahead is too rugged for it to pass,” Tang Tang said as she leaped down from her horse, patted its head, and tied it to a large tree nearby.

Liang Hui glanced at the perilous terrain ahead, quickly walked into the carriage, and after gathering the most important items into his embrace.
He also tied the carriage to a tree trunk nearby.
Tang Tang watched Liang Hui with a sizeable pack on his back, with a flash of hesitation crossing her face beneath the ghost-faced mask.
Still, she pulled out a necklace that resembled a piece of jade from her bosom and handed it over.
“This necklace was crafted by a Great Cultivator at the Life Origin Realm with the help of a Kongming Stone, possessing the capability of a storage space.”
“Consider it compensation for saving my life this time,” she said.
Liang Hui scrutinized the necklace that was presented to him; made of an amalgamation of unknown beast tendons, it exuded a noble dark gold color with a jade-colored droplet the size of a thumb strung on it.
Without a doubt, such a storage necklace was extremely precious.
The identity of the woman before him must be high within Divine Soldiers Valley.
He reached out to take the jade pendant, feeling its smooth warmth in his palm.
He investigated the necklace with the Flowing Light Bell to see if there was any trickery inside while softly speaking:
“No need to talk about saving lives. If I hadn’t been resting there, you would have had no problem escaping the pursuit.”
“But a storage space, I am in great need of one, thanks.”
As he spoke, he had already confirmed there was nothing wrong with the necklace.
He also understood the size of the storage space within the necklace, about four cubic feet.
Tang Tang shook her head, even with many coincidences, saving a life was still saving a life, and she knew to discern this clearly.
He began to instruct Liang Hui on how to store items, and soon Liang Hui had placed the pack on his back into the necklace, then returned to the carriage to retrieve most of the herbs and put them in as well.
Only when the necklace’s space was full did he stop.
Then, he placed the necklace into the lining of his clothing.
At that time, Tang Tang, holding a pair of short hammers, walked towards the depths of the forest.
Liang Hui, carrying a long bow, a quiver, and a spear, followed behind her.
As for why they didn’t put their weapons into the storage space to make carrying them easier, the answer was simple: retrieving items took time!
The two concealed their breath and suppressed the sound of their footsteps, swiftly navigating through the forest.
The dim forest obscured most of the moonlight, but they quickly arrived at the place in the mountains where there were lights.
It was a damaged stockade, its vicinity littered with broken wood chips, and the ground stained with dark red blood.
Even the entrance of the stockade had been broken through, creating a large gap—all signs that a brutal battle had recently been waged here.
Listening to the clamor coming from inside the stockade, Liang Hui frowned slightly and cast a meaningful glance at Tang Tang.
This was just a small remaining force—judging by the sounds of footsteps and voices, their numbers were definitely not few.
Feeling the gaze fixed upon her, Tang Tang seemed to guess Liang Hui’s thoughts and nonchalantly gripped the short hammers in her hands.
“They’re just some trash,” she said. “The main Chieftain has already been taken down by my hammer, and the second and Third Chieftains have also been hunted down by us not long ago.”
“I’ll charge in first, you follow behind shooting arrows or just stay close to me.”
The youth nodded, his gaze deep as he watched the woman before him.
She truly was fierce!
From the village, they had fought their way up the mountains, hammered the stockade leader to death, then ran dozens of miles, still having the strength to cooperate with him to counterattack the horse bandits pursuing them.
And now, without even breathing heavily, she was leading him back here to kill again.
Kill!
Like a gust of wind brushing past him, Tang Tang charged towards the large door.
Boom!
With no decrease in speed, she swung her hammer violently at the intact part of the gate.
Amidst the roaring sound, the gate, made from wooden stakes, burst open on impact.
Liang Hui couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth under his mask at the sight before him.
Wouldn’t it have been better to just go through the gap?
Nevertheless, he still gripped his spear and charged forward.
The figures of the two closely followed one another.
Along the way, whether enemies charged at them with screams or tried to flee, all became corpses on the ground, none an exception.
The cries of the dying and the roars of despair resounded continuously through the stockade.
Yet the two of them remained expressionless, their footsteps not slowing in the slightest.
They headed straight for the building where the lights were brightest and the space was most open.
Before they even got close, several figures rushed out; upon seeing the female with the ghostly face, their immediate response was terror.
The murderous intent and ferocity on everyone’s faces turned into fear.
“The mad woman hasn’t died!”
“Get away!”
“Run!”
Several cries of alarm sounded.
The figures that had charged towards them scattered in retreat.
Confronted with this scene, Liang Hui and Tang Tang tacitly moved—one to the left, the other to the right.
Liang Hui looked on dispassionately as a gaunt Great Han and a man with a scarred face charged towards him.
“Scram!” x2
In the roar of Jiedi Sili,
a knife and a fist with a vicious momentum smashed towards him.
