Yang Chengye knew that his trip to Yanmen was unavoidable no matter what.

  According to Huang Zhen's last words, the upper volume of the Nine Yin Manual was hidden at Yanmen Pass, and he had to go there to retrieve it.

  Now that Juewuguan is injured at Yanmen Gate, Yang Chengye's expedition to Yanmen has been accelerated.

  Out of Shaolin Temple and heading north is the territory of Jin Guo, so Yang Chengye decided to keep a low profile.

  Yang Chengye urged his horse on, and soon after leaving Kaifeng, he encountered something that made him angry.

  He saw a group of golden soldiers looting, the robbed civilians crying and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, but to no avail. Anyone who resisted was beheaded on the spot.

  These golden soldiers are so brutal, what's the difference between them and the little Japanese devils during World War II? Heaven will not tolerate if you are not killed.

  Yang Chengye sighed inwardly, drew his long sword, activated his lightness skill, and rushed over to behead the nearest Golden Soldier with one stroke. He then charged into the crowd, his footsteps flashing continuously as he struck down several Golden Soldiers who were holding civilians captive.

  He lightly stepped forward, pounced on the officer riding the horse closest to him, and with a long sword, he made a swift slash at his neck. Before the opponent could even react, blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain, and he fell off the horse.

  In just a few swift and neat moves, before the opponent could even react, there were hardly any people left.

  Yang Chengye continued to rush forward, dealing with these low-morale Jin soldiers. He didn't need to use any exquisite moves at all; one person and one sword easily solved the problem.

  A group of civilians had never seen such a massacre before, and the ones being killed were the Jin soldiers they feared like tigers. They were shocked and screamed, and Yang Chengye was also helpless.

  "Are there still golden soldiers inside?"

  Yang Chengye pointed to the village and asked.

  The common people one by one did not dare to speak out, but a little boy plucked up the courage and said: "There are still several more."

  "Okay, I'll go take a look."

  Yang Chengye finished speaking and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

  Yang Chengye soon discovered the Jin soldiers who were searching for civilians and solved them one by one.

  "Alright, it's all settled."

  Yang Chengye patted his hand and said, "However, you need to deal with this here. Burn the corpses, and throw the helmets and weapons that can't be burned into the river. Otherwise, if other Jin soldiers find out about you, you'll definitely die."

  Having settled these matters, Yang Chengye mounted his horse and continued northward.

  "Actually, being so chivalrous and righteous isn't necessarily a good thing."

  Yang Chengye thought to himself as he galloped away on horseback: "I can't keep watching over them, if the government finds out even a hint of their trail it will be very unfavorable for them. Even if I could stay behind, wave after wave of troops would come and I wouldn't be able to withstand it. Hopefully they'll handle things cleanly."

  "It seems that in the future, it's better to do fewer acts of chivalry and justice, as they easily implicate others."

  After all, one is just a person, coming with hundreds or even thousands of golden soldiers is not to be feared, but if it's thousands of troops and horses, oneself will be exhausted and die even if they are extremely powerful.

  However, this idea was soon thrown out of Yang Chengfu's mind and he began to study the "Yi Jin Jing" and "Jiu Yang Zhen Jing" that were recorded in his brain.

  Just as he was getting excited, the sound of dense horseshoes echoed from behind. Yang Chengye immediately woke up, looked around and led the horse into a forest by the roadside, hiding quietly to observe.

  He had just killed a number of Jin soldiers, so it was inevitable that he would feel uneasy.

  Soon, Yang Chengye saw a team of golden soldiers rushing past on the main road, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that they have really come to kill me?"

  "No good, I'd better change into something else."

  Thinking of this, Yang Chengye took off his own book-born attire, put on a coarse linen short shirt, and pasted a human skin mask, instantly turning into a rustic young man.

  Yang Chengye then wrapped his long sword in cloth and carried it on his back, untied the reins, and abandoned the horse in the forest.

  In the late afternoon, he arrived at a large town and Yang Chengye found an inn to eat his fill before checking into the only hostel in the town.

  The next day, Yang Chengye bought a sunshade hat and wore it, buying a donkey to continue heading north. Horses were too eye-catching, somewhat showy, while donkeys were different, very ordinary, not easy to attract attention.

  Arrived at a county town, Yang Chengye even boldly went in once, had a meal, and also bought some sauce beef and steamed buns.

  During this time, Yang Chengye encountered several waves of Jin soldiers' checkpoints, but he handled them with ease and did not arouse the suspicion of the Jin soldiers, who simply took him for a farmer's son.

  Letting the donkey walk freely, Yang Chengye sat in the carriage reading a book. After nearly half a month, they arrived at Fenglingdu, by the Yellow River.

  Yang Chengye released the donkey, shouldered his bundle and boarded a ferry boat.

  Fenglingdu is located in the southwest of Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province, 30 kilometers away from the county seat, bordering Henan and Shaanxi provinces.

  Fenglingdu is located at the turning point of the Yellow River's eastward turn, and is a transportation hub for the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan, spanning across the borders of North China, Northwest China, and Central China.

  Fenglingdu has been the largest ferry crossing on the Yellow River since ancient times.

  For thousands of years, Fenglingdu has been a strategic point on the Yellow River, and countless people have passed through here to enter Qin and Jin.

  Zhao Zizhen's "Inscription on Fengling Ferry" has a line: "One water divides the south and north, the Central Plains' spirit is complete. Cloudy mountains connect Jin and Chu, smoky trees enter Qin River."

  Yang Chengye sat on the boat, looking at the turbulent Yellow River water, with a thousand emotions in his heart. In his previous life, he had also passed by the Yellow River and Fenglingdu, but he was sitting on a train, and had never taken a boat tour before. He didn't expect that Fenglingdu would be so magnificent.

  The passenger ship crossed the Fenglingdu Waterway, and Yang Chengye got off the boat, which was already within the borders of Shanxi.

  Fenglingdu Ferry as an important ferry, the flow of people is also large, gathering inns, taverns, brothels, forming a not small town.

  Yang Chengye walked into a tavern and sat down at a table.

  The tavern was neither big nor small, with many guests inside, each carrying a weapon, drinking and shouting loudly.

  These people are basically wandering knights-errant and have no fixed occupation. Some help people escort goods, some help people watch goods, and of course there are also some thieves mixed in among them.

  "What can I get for you?"

  At this time, a waiter came to Yang Chengye's table and asked.

  Yang Chengye said: "Bring half a catty of beef, a few steamed buns, and another jug of wine."

  "Okay, wait a moment!"

  The shopkeeper's assistant responded with a "yes" and then left.

  The shopkeeper soon brought up beef, steamed buns and a jug of wine, saying "Please enjoy your meal, sir."

  Yang Chengye was eating beef and drinking wine, feeling very comfortable.

  "Hey, have you guys heard? Recently, a big shot came to the county town, seems to be called Wanyan Jinsuo, who is the grandson of Wanyan Wuzong."

  "Yes, I've also heard that this Wan Yan Jin Shuo is a tyrannical demon king who bullied the common people in the Upper Capital, forcibly seizing women and ruining countless girls."

  "As a member of the martial arts world, we should prioritize chivalry. Now that we know about it, we must eliminate this scourge; otherwise, it would truly be a betrayal of the name of chivalry."

  "Alright, count me in! I'll go too, to rid the people of this scourge!"

  "Me too!"

  "Count me in!"
