Chapter 734: A Plan to Ambush
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Initially, Qin Wushuang planned to wipe out the tracking talisman, yet thinking again, if he were to wipe it out, wouldn’t it be the same as telling them that he had already learned that they were tracking him?
This would not achieve the result of enticing the enemy.
“I must make them feel traces of hope. Or else after they’ve followed for a while, but still could not catch up to me, they would certainly emerge thoughts to retreat. In that case, how could I kill that person who seemingly resembles Xin Wuji? As this person is not dead, I will not find peace. I must kill him!”
When Qin Wushuang thought of this, he did not wipe away that tracking talisman. As long as he did not lose to the other party in terms of speed, he would have the capital to entice the enemy.
After all, the Observant Finger Jade Plate was not there for nothing.
He opened the map of the Xuan Yuan Mound and Qin Wushuang started to look for the place he could ambush them.
After traveling all this way, Qin Wushuang had already become incredibly familiar with the terrain. In the end, he decided to set up a sniping point deep in one of the mountains of the Hundred Victory Prefecture.
This mountain was named the Phoenix Mountain and it had relatively arduous terrain. Setting up an ambush or retreating after the ambush, it would work to his favor.
Most importantly, as he calculated the time, the time when he arrived at that Phoenix Mountain would also be the time when the tracking talisman would lose its effect. By that time, it would be the moment where the enemies felt most anxious.
He would give them a little bit of hope during the time when they were the most anxious, but he could also avail himself the opportunity to get in.
After making this decision, Qin Wushuang rushed at full speed towards that Phoenix Mountain without harboring any doubts.
The Phoenix Mountain was about two thirds of the way in terms of the distance to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and the Tortoise King Mountain. It was about forty percent away from the Tortoise King Mountain and about sixty percent traveling distance to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
It could be said that he had traveled halfway after reaching the Phoenix Mountain.
…
On the other hand, as Xin Tianwu and the others tracked in the initial days, they could not pull closer towards Qin Wushuang. Even Luo Tongtian swore, “This kid, when he went to stir trouble at my Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, he would not even dare to come out when he saw me. Now, how has his strength upgraded at such a rapid speed? His speed is on par with mine and yours who are Supreme Dao elite warriors!”
“That kid has a pair of wings, similar to his majesty’s Heavenly Emperor Wings. He has an advantage in terms of speed. You and me are just flying in the air, yet he has wings. He has the upper hand in terms of flying speed and stance. He consumes less spiritual Qi than us,” Xin Tianwu a.n.a.lyzed calmly.
When speaking of Qin Wushuang’s wings, Xin Wuji also swore angrily, “That kid is neither a human, nor a devil, where did he get that pair of wings?”
Although Xin Wuji spoke with a sour tone, he admired that pair of wings deeply in his heart. For your information, across the entire Xuan Yuan Mound, only his father, Xin Tianwen, the honorable Heavenly Emperor had a pair of wings. That was his unique brand and no one else had them within the Xuan Yuan Mound.
Unexpectedly, this sole brand had been encountered by Qin Wushuang.
“Friend Tianwu, even though Qin Wushuang consumes less spiritual Qi than us, in the end he’s not an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao. He must have a moment where he completely exhausts his strength through such long term trekking. With these past two days, I clearly sense that we are pulling closer to him. This guy must be exhausted,” Lei Yue voiced his opinion.
Xin Tianwu said with a low voice, “Certainly he will die trying to compete for endurance with Supreme Dao elite warriors! However, I am suspicious of whether or not he has learned that we are tracking him…”
Xin Wuji replied, “This is not entirely impossible. Before when I was chasing him at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, he seemed to know and made me run after him for a long time.”
“After all, your tracking talisman is not a Supreme Dao method, he could sense it through perception if he had suspicion. Per his caution, it’s impossible for him to not sense it. However, what if he can sense it? Since he caused a great ruckus at the Heavenly Emperor Gate, certainly he’s prepared to get chased by us. Everyone don’t be hasty, although this guy is cunning, after leaving the prohibition of the Qin Clan, being an elite warrior beneath the Supreme Dao Stage, he cannot escape forever! Even if he were to escape to other Forbidden Spiritual Zones, as long as there are traces along the way, we can also catch up to him!” Xin Tianwu was still optimistic.
Lei Yue shook his head. “We must never allow him to enter other Forbidden Spiritual Zones. In that case, it would be great trouble for us to chase to kill him.”
“Yes, it would be best if we could solve the conflict within the Xuan Yuan Mound. However, I see the escape route of this kid, it seems he’s heading towards the human countries. Could it be this kid wants to return to the human countries?” Xin Tianwu asked strangely.
“How about, let’s head to the human countries and destroy that kid’s secular family! How about it?” Luo Tongtian’s resentment towards Qin Wushuang could not be described with few words. Therefore, his first thought was to destroy Qin Wushuang’s entire family.
Xin Tianwu’s expression froze. “Friend Tongtian, have you not had enough loss from last time? The major battle of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain is the battle within the sects at the Forbidden Spiritual Zone. For the human countries, when you violated the law and went last time, the Heavenly Emperor pardoned you. If you go again, I am afraid your Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect will have its name crossed off from the Xuan Yuan Mound. The Heavenly Emperor is not as simple as you think. If you think you can do whatever you want at the human countries, then you are mistaken. If the other Forbidden Spiritual Zones are attracted to deal with the Xuan Yuan Mound together, then we will be great sinners!”
“The other Forbidden Spiritual Zones would attack the Xuan Yuan Mound together? Because of the little human countries?” How come Luo Tongtian felt this matter sounded absurd?
Xin Tianwu said with a cold sneer, “Luo Tongtian, your Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect even claims to have heirs and traditions pa.s.sed down through the human countries. You are still very shallow per your understanding of the human countries. Anyways, for many matters, although I do not know, I do know that these human countries are not that simple. If you do not want to cause a chaotic war between the Forbidden Spiritual Zones, you better not lead the war to the human countries. Or else, most likely it would cause public anger!”
Luo Tongtian smacked his tongue in secret. Now he knew why the Heavenly Emperor still restricted them from touching the human countries, despite his hatred towards the Qin Clan.
Most likely, the reason was within it and yet, he would not dare to ask anymore.
After they chased another two days, the smile on Lei Yue’s face had become even richer as he said, “Alright, we shrunk the distance once again. Certainly that kid is getting exhausted. Let’s gather our strength, in less than two days, for sure we can catch up to him. As soon as this guy’s dantian fails, he will stop to rest. To regain his strength, he would need three or five days! Therefore, our wonderful chance has come.”
Xin Tianwu also laughed. “That kid must think he can defy the natural order with a pair of wings. He did not know that for elite warriors beneath the Supreme Dao Stage, there would always be a disparity to the Supreme Dao. This can not be made up with a pair of wings!”
Xin Tianwu rubbed his hands and revealed rich murderous intentions from his eyes. “Auntie Tianwu, if it’s okay, please capture that Qin Wushuang alive, I still want to make him suffer some before he dies!”
Xin Tianwu said leisurely, “Wuji, just you wait, I will certainly make him suffer! Tongtian, you will be in charge of protecting Wuji. Lei Yue, you and me are both at the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, sp we will be more able to defend against the Graceful Spiritual Bow. As long as we don’t underestimate the enemy, basically we don’t need to worry about the Graceful Spiritual Bow. Qin Wushuang’s greatest trump card is the Graceful Spiritual Bow. If the bow cannot deal with you and I, he will not have any other trump cards!”
Lei Yue nodded. “Alright, just as you say, you and me will be in charge of capturing this Qin Wushuang.”
Although Luo Tongtian felt somewhat regretful, he also knew that with his strength, he had just entered the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage.
Compared to these two elite warriors of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, there was a great disparity between them. While facing Qin Wushuang’s Graceful Spiritual Bow, someone as Lei Ming, who was at the Fifth Calamity of the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage was killed instantly, not to mention him.
Therefore, not letting him step out was also a form of protection.
Following the gradual loss of the effect of the tracking talisman, they kept pulling closer to Qin Wushuang. This increased Xin Tianwu’s and the other’s morale.
“Friend Tianwu, that Qin Wushuang is already showing signs of exhaustion, I think he must be finding a place to rest. Should you and me conceal our presence and infiltrate quietly?”
Xin Tianwu said with a low voice, “Let’s a.n.a.lyze the terrain ahead of us!”
Xin Wuji was already looking into the terrain as he said, “We have already entered the Hundred Victory prefecture. Naturally, the Phoenix Mountain is the most hidden place in this prefecture. If that Qin Wushuang were to choose a hiding place, it must be this Phoenix Mountain.”
“Phoenix Mountain, then let this Phoenix Mountain become Qin Wushuang’s burial place!” Xin Tianwu said with an expressionless face.
Like lightning, four figures slashed across the sky of the Hundred Victory Prefecture and dropped in the area of the Phoenix Mountain. They could already be certain that this Qin Wushuang was surely around this area.
“By the way, Friend Tianwu, would you say this Qin Wushuang could grasp our movements? If that’s the case, even in his death, he would not have chosen to stop, right? If he could monitor our movements but still chose to stop, I’m worried about his intentions…” Lei Yue said with endless concern.
“How could he seize our whereabouts? He couldn’t plant tracking talismans on all of us. Even if he had the skill, we were far in the Qin Clan. When we returned, he had already left the Heavenly Emperor Gate,” Xin Tianwu a.n.a.lyzed.
“That’s right, but…” Lei Yue still wanted to say something.
All of a sudden, Luo Tongtian slapped his sigh. “I am so foolish, this Qin Wushuang has an extraordinary tool called the Observant Finger Jade Plate!”
Luo Tongtian remembered suddenly that this Qin Wushuang was a guy that inherited Lu Xianlou’s deceased will. Luo Tongtian always wanted to get his hands on this object and was of course, extremely familiar with this thing. For all this time, he hadn’t thought of this. Thinking now, his heart trembled without cause.
Lei Yue’s expression also changed slightly. “This way, this Qin Wushuang does know of our whereabouts?”
Xin Tianwu rejected, “A non Supreme Dao craftsman, could the things he made lock the position of Supreme Dao elite warriors? I cannot not believe this. Not to mention, when we return to the Heavenly Emperor Gate, he had already left. Could that Observant Finger Jade Plate collect our Supreme Dao presence ten thousand miles away?”
Luo Tongtian mumbled, “I am just afraid that initially at the Heavenly Emperor Gate, when Qin Xiaotian took him, he had already collected everyone’s spiritual perception.”
Xin Tianwu laughed coldly. “Would you think this Qin Wushuang has the skill to ambush us here?”
Lei Yue said seriously, “We must not underestimate the enemy.”
Although Lei Yue intended to seek revenge on Qin Wushuang, during this period of time, he felt profoundly that this Qin Wushuang was not easy to deal with. Therefore, he became more cautious inwardly.
