The disciple trembled and spoke, “Ye Wushuang, along with Li Wenbo and others, is in a valley fifty li away from here. It seems they are preparing some sort of scheme to deal with you.”
“We followed Mu Qiqi here, and we’re not familiar with Ye Wushuang. Naturally, we didn’t want to go to our deaths with him, so we left,” the disciple continued.
As soon as the disciple finished speaking, Sheng Ge struck out with a palm, shattering the disciple’s crown. Turning to Ling Zhongyun, Sheng Ge asked, “What do you think?”
“Could it be a conspiracy?” Ling Zhongyun frowned, her brows furrowed in thought.
“Whether it’s a conspiracy or not, we need to go and see for ourselves,” Ling Zhongyun said solemnly. “Here’s what we’ll do: send twenty men to scout the area first. We’ll wait on the outskirts. If it’s safe, we’ll go in.”
“Ye Wushuang is probably counting on the spirit beasts within the mountains to block our path,” she added. After all, Ye Wushuang only had a few people with him, while they had a large group of over two hundred. It would be easy for them to be rejected by the high-level spirit beasts.
“Alright!” Soon, the main force arrived at the valley area mentioned by the disciple.
Someone spoke up, “We’ve been here before. This place is home to many third-stage spirit beasts, and it’s their territory.”
Sheng Ge snorted, “Ye Wushuang is really cunning!”
In a short while, Sheng Ge and Ling Zhongyun selected more than twenty people and headed towards the valley to investigate.
About half an hour later, the disciples returned one by one.
“It’s very quiet. There are no signs of spirit beast activity,” one reported.
“And we didn’t find any trace of Ye Wushuang and his group,” another added.
“But there are signs of a battle that has taken place,” a third disciple said.
Hearing this, Sheng Ge and Ling Zhongyun looked puzzled.
At that moment, a young man dressed in a silk robe stepped forward and said, “I suggest we simply spread out and search each valley one by one. That boy won’t be able to escape.”
This person was Long Yuanqing, the crown prince of the Tianlong Empire, who was now at the fourth level of the Tian Gang realm. In this Hundred Kingdoms’ Martial Contest, Ye Wushuang had killed too many top geniuses. Originally, Long Yuanqing thought he had no hope of making it into the top seven. But now… there was a great deal of hope!
His own spiritual value was close to half a million. If he killed Ye Wushuang, he would definitely have a chance to choose a precious treasure.
At that moment, a graceful woman stepped forward and said, “No, if we provoke the spirit beasts into a frenzy, we will be in more danger than Ye Wushuang and his group.”
“Zi Qingmei, what do you suggest we do then?” someone asked.
Zi Qingmei, a top genius from the Ziyun Empire and currently at the third level of the Tian Gang realm, replied, “Send teams of twenty people to scout and interweave into the area. This way, our people will be safe.”
“Once we find Ye Wushuang, we’ll signal immediately, and then we can surround him!”
Hearing Zi Qingmei’s words, Chi Yutian from the Chiyan Empire nodded and said, “That’s a good idea.”
Gan Guxing from the Daqian Empire also agreed, “I think it’s a good plan.”
These few individuals were the core forces in this expedition against the Ye Demon, and they were also the strongest in terms of power.
Sheng Ge and Ling Zhongyun made the final decision to adopt Zi Qingmei’s plan. Over two hundred people were divided into more than a dozen teams, each led by the most powerful Tian Gang realm geniuses. They did not stray too far from each other and advanced slowly, searching for Ye Wushuang and his group.
At the same time, thirty li away from this group, on a plain surrounded by six valleys, Li Wenbo rushed over with a grin and said, “Brother Ye, they’re coming. They’re searching separately and heading this way.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and replied, “Good. Now, let’s lure them into our trap.”
Li Wenbo chuckled, “It’s up to our acting skills now.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll make sure they die without any regrets,” Ye Wushuang said confidently.
After they had made their plan, Ye Wushuang, Li Wenbo, Qing Shiyu, and Mu Qiqi all prepared themselves.
“Let’s release that beast first!” Ye Wushuang ordered.
Soon, the seals in one of the valleys were lifted.
Roar…
A deafening roar echoed through the air. It was a spirit beast with a body ten zhang tall, its fur as rigid as steel needles. It resembled a jackal, with blood-red eyes glaring at Ye Wushuang and the others in fury. This was a third-stage advanced spirit beast—the Steel-Furred Jackal.
“Run!” the group shouted, fleeing in an instant.
The Steel-Furred Jackal was ferocious by nature. Although it was injured, it harbored deep resentment towards Ye Wushuang and his group. They had killed its young and lured it into a trap. Now, even though it didn’t understand why these despicable humans had released it, the Steel-Furred Jackal would not let its enemies go. Thus, it fiercely attacked and pursued them.
