Capítulo 1549: Chapter 8: No Matter How Shrewd, It’s Useless
Although the foreigner’s realm is average, his martial arts are exceptionally high, and not just one or two types of advanced martial arts. It’s likely his identity is not simple.
Hasn’t Tianze Country been hunting for a foreigner in the last half year? Could it be this kid?
After stealing the Bijou Beads, he now wants to target their Jin Country’s Wooden Dipper Beads. What exactly is his plan? Does he intend to gather all the Twenty-Eight Constellations Beads?
Since ancient times, very few have gathered all Twenty-Eight Constellations Beads. How dare this young boy covet them? He doesn’t know what’s good for him.
He won’t let Lin Yifan succeed, so he reports today’s news to the Seventh Prince, urging him to be extra cautious to prevent outsiders from seizing the national treasure.
In Jin Country’s Imperial Capital, upon hearing about a foreigner targeting their Wooden Dipper Beads, the Seventh Prince dismissed it with disdain.
This disdain stems from Lin Yifan being just a young lad at the True Master Third Realm Early Stage.
Even though Lin Yifan’s martial arts are extraordinarily high, as long as he brings along a few Superior Immortal Realm experts, he will certainly succeed.
The plan remains unchanged. When the mist of Misty Forest clears, that will be the day he sets out.
On the other hand, the escaped Lin Yifan was deeply distressed.
He didn’t expect the realm of a city lord’s son to be so high. It seems this Realm of Longevity is truly a place of powerful beings. In their world, an Immortal Realm expert they took pride in counts for nothing here.
His realm is still a bit low, unsuitable for revealing his edge too soon; thus he plans to investigate thoroughly, wait for the right moment, then act.
Within a month, he changed his appearance, inquired everywhere, and finally learned that the Seventh Prince of Jin Country is the leader of this operation to capture the Wooden Dipper Mouflon.
With this target, everything will be easy.
So, he hides in the mountains and forests outside Jin Country’s capital, waiting for the opportunity to act.
Several days later, a troop sneaks out of the Imperial Capital’s West City Gate at night, deliberately avoiding others’ sight.
Lin Yifan has long been monitoring the four city gates of Jin Country’s Imperial Capital 24 hours a day. Any sign of movement will not escape his keen observation.
Thus, upon seeing this night-departing troop, he considered following them secretly. But rationality told him, if the enemy was already well-prepared, they wouldn’t let him succeed easily, so he suspected this troop might be a trap, deciding to wait and observe more.
If he’s unable to wait for any other troops to emerge, he’ll chase after them. With his speed, even if this troop departing from the West City Gate runs dozens of kilometers, he can still catch up.
Twenty minutes later, after much waiting, his hopes were finally realized.
He saw a troop of dozens of people, departing from the East City Gate, advancing step by step.
In fact, this troop’s attire was no different from the previous troop. Without careful observation, one really couldn’t notice anything unusual.
However, the observant Lin Yifan still identified the biggest difference between the two.
The difference is the troop departing from the East City Gate is more cautious than the troop departing from the West City Gate. They typically look back every five steps, afraid of being discovered or followed.
The more cautious they are, the more they expose their true intentions.
Fortunately, he didn’t immediately follow the troop departing from the West City Gate. Otherwise, he would have fallen for Jin Country’s Seventh Prince diversion tactic.
No time to lose, he immediately follows them secretly and waits for the opportunity to snatch the Wooden Dipper Beads.
Misty Forest is located within another nation’s territory; however, the people of this country haven’t discovered the Wooden Dipper Mouflon’s trail, so they haven’t sent anyone to Misty Forest to capture it.
After several days of travel, they finally reach Misty Forest.
At this moment, ninety percent of the mist in Misty Forest has dissipated, with high visibility. It’s the best time to capture the Wooden Dipper Mouflon. Missing this chance may mean waiting several more months.
The Wooden Dipper Mouflon enjoys Biyou Grass, and with a handful of Biyou Grass and a well-set trap, it can be captured easily.
However, historically, there have been numerous failures, so one must not underestimate the spiritual nature and sense of the Constellation Divine Object. Their thinking ability is no less than that of teenagers.
Jin Country’s Seventh Prince understands this well, so the trap must be set in a place where the Wooden Dipper Mouflon can completely let down its guard.
An overgrown area is their primary choice.
Because Biyou Grass is grass, if it grows among many trees, on open ground, or on rocks, it will appear strange. To avoid alerting the Wooden Dipper Mouflon, an overgrown area is their best choice.
After searching Misty Forest for a day, they finally find a place with the most grass, the least likely to arouse suspicion.
Upon finding this place, they start planting Biyou Grass, setting up the array, and quietly waiting for the Wooden Dipper Mouflon to take the bait.
Using a trap to catch a Spirit Beast is not something completed in one or two hours; therefore, it took them several days to finally wait for the Wooden Dipper Mouflon to appear.
At this moment, the mist in Misty Forest is growing thicker, and soon it will cover the forest entirely.
Precisely because of this, the Wooden Dipper Mouflon lets down its guard and comes out to forage.
Usually, when there’s no mist, they really don’t dare to come out to forage because they’ve been hunted by humans countless times, gaining lots of experience.
Even the most foolish person, after gaining such experience, will realize the mist-free times are not safe, so they already have defenses in place.
As it searches, the Wooden Dipper Mouflon suddenly finds its favorite grass.
It smells the scent of the grass, located not far ahead.
Although there is indeed such grass in Misty Forest, this grass often signifies a trap. Its companions have already fallen for traps, and it doesn’t want to repeat the mistake.
So, it continuously explores and tests to see what changes there are within dozens of meters of the Biyou Grass.
After trying all kinds of measures, it finds nothing unusual, and it lets down its guard, walks over, opens its mouth, and starts chewing the delicious Biyou Grass.
Not even three seconds later, a large number of troops emerge from the surrounding forest.
This startles it.
When it wants to flee, it discovers the surrounding area has long been constrained by a high-level array, leaving it without escape, only facing death.
But it refuses to yield, so it launches into a frenzy, madly colliding, madly unleashing power to attack the sturdy Immortal Level Formation.
“Heh, heh! Fell into my trap and still wants to escape my grasp? No way!”
Jin Country’s Seventh Prince constantly sneers, then orders the Superior Immortal Realm guards to kill the True Master Five Realm Peak Wooden Dipper Mouflon.
The Superior Immortal Realm guards waste no time, instantly launching an attack, slashing the frantically jumping Wooden Dipper Mouflon with a single blade.
When they want to take the Wooden Dipper Beads out of the Wooden Dipper Mouflon’s head, another troop appears.
This troop is none other than the people of the country they plan to invade.
Tianze Country also heard of Jin Country finding the Wooden Dipper Mouflon, which is why they appear here.
