Transfer is a passive status that appears after the fourth month.

Judging from the name, Ling Yi could guess the general function's purpose, but not much. The actual effectiveness still needed practical testing.

And here comes the opportunity for real-world testing.

Ling Yi is currently in Returning Wind Valley, a very interesting canyon area.

The canyon is not deep; the deepest part is only about fifty meters.

However, it has many ravines and branches, making it almost like a maze. If you don't follow the road signs, you'll most likely get lost.

When the wind blows through the wide and narrow, winding canyons, it creates wonderful sounds and echoes.

"Because the sounds are different in every part of Returning Wind Valley, each place has a different name. The one we passed through earlier is called Kitten Valley, and after Kitten Valley is Dragon Roar Valley."

Yinmao pointed ahead and said.

"This Returning Wind Valley covers a vast area, stretching 1,200 li from east to west and 800 li from north to south."

"In some places, the wind sounds like cats meowing; once the wind picks up, it's as if dozens of cats are making loud and soft noises, rising and falling in waves. In other places, it's like Dragon's Roar or Tiger Roar."

"Some places were even more eerie, with sounds like people softly chanting or like a hundred ghosts Roar. Along the way, there were truly all sorts of sounds, each one reaching the ears, which was incredibly magical."

This Yinmao, Yin Mao, spoke fluently and knowledgeably, clearly showing a deep understanding of the area.

"I've only heard of Returning Wind Valley, but I've never been there. It's said that there are many taboos in Returning Wind Valley, and that you must not enter forbidden areas, or you will surely die. Is that true?" Yunrui asked!

"There are indeed some taboos!" Yinhu nodded.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Yinhu explained, "This place is windy and dry all year round, making it difficult to survive. The stranger the sound, the more branching ravines there are."

"Once trapped inside, death is almost certain."

"For example, the Wronged Soul Valley and the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, which are well-known to people, are like this. Once ordinary people enter, they become lost in them and find it difficult to get out."

"Is it really that exaggerated? Just mark the way, how could you possibly get lost?" Ao Potian shook his head in disbelief.

Yin Lang laughed and said, "You only know one side of the story. Although these forbidden places have harsh environments, they are also good places to hide troops."

Yinmao added, "This Returning Wind Valley is less than a thousand li from the imperial city and less than six hundred li from Dongfeng City. Dongfeng City is the granary of the Great Jin Nation and also the territory under the jurisdiction of the Third Prince, Jin Wuxun."

"According to our investigation, Jin Wuxun has hidden 100,000 private soldiers here. The so-called forbidden place was also something Jin Wuxun deliberately exaggerated."

"The goal is to reduce the risk of private soldiers being exposed."

Yinmao scoffed, "With Dongfeng City as its base, the Third Prince can easily raise a million soldiers here, let alone 100,000."

"Unfortunately, although Returning Wind Valley can hide a huge army, it has a fatal flaw, which the Second Prince Jin Wufeng addressed while he was alive."

"Poisoning?" Ao Potian said after a moment's thought.

Yinmao nodded in approval, "That's right. There's almost no place in Returning Wind Valley that isn't windy. As long as you light the poisonous smoke upwind, it can instantly cover most of the area."

"No matter how many hidden troops they have, they will crumble in a short time."

"I'm afraid that over the years, Returning Wind Valley has buried many wronged souls," Ao Potian said with a sigh.

By this time, the three had traveled halfway through Returning Wind Valley, bypassed a narrow valley, and suddenly the view ahead opened up.

"This is Gourd Valley. Once you get here, you've completed half of Returning Wind Valley." Yinhu stopped abruptly before finishing his sentence.

Ling Yi and his group of six also stopped in their tracks.

Ahead lay a dense, seemingly endless line of soldiers, nearly blocking all the valley entrances.

Shield bearers were in front, spearmen in the middle, and archers were behind the spearmen.

At the very back of the group of soldiers was a huge war chariot.

A large red banner Piu-piu on the chariot, bearing the words "Great Jin".

On the chariot stood a handsome middle-aged man dressed in a white robe and holding a feather fan, giving him a resemblance to Zhuge Liang.

" Sima Chang greets Second Master. Third Master has ordered that Second Master be buried in Gourd Valley today." The handsome middle-aged man clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Ling Yi's direction and shouted loudly.

This person was a Da Wu at the Early Innate of the Middle Innate Realm, with profound Internal Energy. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't be able to project their voice this far.

"Second Master? Wasn't he dead?" Yin Lang asked, puzzled.

"No one else knows about this except us," Yinmao said.

"They probably mistook Young Master Ling for Jin Wufeng!" Yinhu glanced at Ling Yi and instantly realized the key point.

"Are they blind?" Ao Potian asked.

"I'm afraid our presence has caused misunderstandings among the people of the capital!" Yinhu said apologetically.

" The Final Master, what should we do? If we kill them all, we'll be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Great Jin Nation." Ao Potian was very dissatisfied with Yinmao and the other two.

Shouldn't they have thought of this beforehand, or did they anticipate it but deliberately choose not to say so?

But then I think it's unlikely.

They weren't unaware of their the Final Master's power; they shouldn't have dared to harbor such petty thoughts.

Moreover, they were already under their the Final Master's control.

"It's not just Sister Yinmao and the others, it's probably related to me too, so I'll take care of these people!" Ni Yunrui said.

The appearance of Yinmao and his two companions only made the people of the capital suspect that Jin Wufeng was in the group, but the appearance of Ni Yunrui was probably the main reason why these people confirmed it.

Given that Ling Yi and Jin Wufeng similar builds, it's even easier for them to be misunderstood.

"Since the misunderstanding arose from us, then we'll end it. These people won't listen to our explanations anyway; a fight is inevitable, so let's just kill them all."

Yin Lang was a short-tempered person; as soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

" Illusion Slaughter!"

Yin Lang's voice rang out in mid-air.

The next moment, the sky darkened, and countless translucent Ghost Soldier appeared out of thin air, swarming towards the soldiers of the Great Jin Nation below.

This was the Momentum of Illusion used by Yin Lang, while his true form vanished.

This is Ling Yi's improved version of the Momentum of Illusion.

This Momentum of Illusion, enhanced by the Earth Spirit, is no longer just a simple illusion; each one possesses strength comparable to Peak Innate Martial Practitioner.

In a single encounter, the soldiers of the Great Jin Nation were thrown into disarray, their screams of agony filling the air.

Sima Chang was on a chariot in the distance, saw this scene and his pupils suddenly contracted. After all, he had never seen such a move before.

"These illusory Ghost Soldier actually possess real Combat? How is that possible?"

But now is not the time to dwell on that.

"Archers, Volley!" Sima Chang reacted quickly. Since the shield bearers and spearmen in front were unreliable, he could only rely on the archers for suppression.

If the suppression continues for even a moment, a flaw will inevitably emerge.

Although he didn't know what kind of move it was, he felt that such a wide-ranging move couldn't last long.

These soldiers were likely Jin Wuxun's elite troops, and they responded swiftly after Sima Chang issued his order.

A barrage of arrows rained Luoyu on the illusory Ghost Soldier.

These illusory Ghost Soldier ultimately lacked intelligence, did not know how to dodge, and had extremely limited attack methods.

After this volley of arrows, quite a few fragments were scattered.

One batch can be eliminated, but another batch will be born. As long as Yin Lang's Divine Power is not exhausted, the illusory Ghost Soldier will be able to continue endlessly.

Although Yin Lang's Illusion Slaughter technique consumes a lot of Divine Power, it can still last for more than ten minutes.

A dozen minutes later, the Third Prince's soldiers were probably all gone.

Moreover, Yin Lang is not alone.

Following Yin Lang's attack, Yinhu, Yinmao, Yunrui, Potian, and the others, having received Ling Yi's permission, also charged forward.

This caused some people who were secretly waiting for an opportunity to instantly lock their Aura onto " Jin Wufeng," who was the only one left.

Sima Chang sneered, "Truly foolish!"

All those people, whether openly or secretly, ultimately target " Jin Wufeng," and they don't care about the lives of Yinmao and the others.

With the death of " Jin Wufeng," he could persuade them to continue their killing spree, even if he couldn't recruit them into his ranks, thanks to his silver tongue.

However, the " Jin Wufeng " they identified was not Jin Wufeng after all.

Jin Wufeng died long ago, and twice in fact.

In the arena, they believed that " Jin Wufeng " was the true source of great terror.

Ao Potian and his group were killing too fast.

The person in the shadows knew they couldn't wait any longer; otherwise, by the time Yinmao realized what was happening, this golden opportunity would be gone.

Ling Yi, meanwhile, was also waiting for the attack from the shadows.

At this moment, he had already opened the system interface and accessed the Bullet-Comment Data in his inventory.

However, unlike before, the interface layout has been readjusted.

The parameters [Cultivation Level] and [Lifespan] have been moved to the upper right corner, while the [Backpack] Bullet-Comment Data has been placed in the lower left corner.

After all, he can now see things with the help of the Soul Devourer Fog, so if the Bullet-Comment Data in his backpack is still in the middle, it will somewhat obstruct his view.

This makes Ling Yi's visuals even more " Ultimate Nullifier- like".

By examining the Bullet-Comment Data, Ling Yi gradually discovered the truth behind their ambush and killing.

Just as Yinhu analyzed, he was mistaken for Jin Wufeng.

I've seen people take the blame before, but he's probably the first person to take the blame for a dead person.

Moreover, these people Concealment in the shadows are not only the people of the Third Prince Jin Wuxun, but also the people of the First Prince Jin Wunian, as well as the people of the Lan Clan Nine Gods Mountain.

Just as Ling Yi was checking the Bullet-Comment Data, thirty figures suddenly jumped down from both sides of the valley behind him, heading straight for Ling Yi.

Most of these thirty people were Martial Practitioner at or above the Late Innate Realm, with three of them reaching the Middle Innate Realm.

Ling Yi did not resist; he stood motionless, as if he were terrified.

He allowed these people to slash him with their swords and other weapons.

Ling Yi could even see the gleam of excitement in their eyes as they swung their swords down.

However, when these people's attacks hit Ling Yi, they had no force whatsoever.

Even Ling Yi's clothes weren't torn.

This is the effect of the passive state {Silence}.

Immediately afterwards, the thirty people each let out a series of sharp cries of pain and knelt down.

This is the effect of the passive state {Transfer}, which randomly transfers all attacks to a nearby enemy.

No, it can't be called an attack; to be precise, it's simply damage.

If it's an attack, the sword and blade techniques will inevitably change direction, and if someone reacts quickly enough, they might be able to dodge.

However, if it's simply a matter of transferring damage, then there's no way to dodge it.

These thirty people knelt in turn, one after another, and died tragically on the spot.
