Yun Fei’s information was accurate, and there was an army of thousands gathering at the vicinity of the Ghost Woods. Yun He was most likely the prince who could attain ascension, and so none of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s aristocratic clan’s descendants dared to disobey his orders. What’s more, he even offered a sky-high reward. Under his manipulation, the thousands of individuals formed four legions that surrounded the Ghost Woods from all directions.
Jiang Yi had been staying in the Ghost Woods for these two days, allowing the Green Noxious Bugs to track his location; and it made Yun He secretly delighted. Shui Qianrou had brought 50 Soul Travel Realm experts while he brought 40—a total of nearly a hundred Soul Travel Realm experts. As long as they could surround their target, Yun He believed that Jiang Yi was certainly going to die even if the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf could fly.
Pong, Pong, Pong…!
Five hundred kilometers to the east of the Ghost Woods was a small hill that was 10 meters in elevation, and a giant ape was striding across it alongside a group of almost 1000 individuals. This giant ape was apparently a tier-three spirit beast which had an extremely fast speed. It had an imposing aura that even caused the Soul Travel Realm experts to feel oppression.
Aiyaya. Yun He, how long is it going to take? How many days has it been? I haven’t seen Jiang Yi yet! You aren’t cheating me, right?
Seated on the giant ape’s left shoulder—dazzling all the men’s eyes was Shui Qianrou. She was constantly swaying both her dainty legs and pouting her lips with an unsatisfied expression as she glared at Yun He.
A beauty would always be a beauty. Shui Qianrou might only be 15 years old, and her body had yet to fully develop; but her stunning looks still intoxicated Yun He when he looked at her. From his experience of conquering plenty of flowers—in another two years, this Shui Qianrou would definitely become the continent’s elite-class beauty. Complemented by her mother’s status, she would certainly become Stellarsky Continent’s no.1 young lady. To him, it would be more exciting to obtain her than to ascend to the Crown Prince’s position.
The edge of his mouth revealed a nefariously charming smile that would charm plenty of young ladies; at least, those ladies from the Water Moon Observatory were charmed. He let out a slight smile and explained:
Qianrou, after getting along with me for so many days, don’t you understand me? Can I cheat you? Jiang Yi is just 500 kilometers ahead, and we will be able to surround him in one day. He is now occupying that area and not moving at all; in just half a day, he wouldn’t be able to escape even if he had a pair of wings.
Okay!
Shui Qianrou clapped in satisfaction and exposed this trace of anger. Grasping her little fist, she spoke with hatred,
When the time comes, this Young Lady wants to personally kill him. He killed my little Blackie and destroyed my Spirit Sparrow Robes. When Mother comes out from her seclusion, she will definitely reprimand me.
Hahaha!
Yun He let out a long laugh and spoke with a gentle expression,
Silly lass, don’t worry. Once you kill Jiang Yi—who is the no.1 prodigy of the Mt. Spirit Beast College, you will be gaining glory for the Water Moon Observatory! Why would Auntie reprimand you? Moreover, doesn’t Jiang Yi have some invaluable artifact on him? We will give everything to you, and your Mother will surely not berate you.
Shui Qianrou heard this statement and was instantly smiling with delight while her pair of large eyes had turned into crescent moons. With narrowed smiling eyes, she said,
Big Brother Yun He, you are so nice. Apart from my Mother, you treat me the best.
Keke, you are my little Princess. If I don’t treat you well, who will I?
Yun He revealed a white-toothed smile dashingly while his eyes revealed a trace of arrogance. As long as he was able to kill Jiang Yi this time, Shui Qianrou would accompany him for a month; with his methods, he would definitely be able to settle this little lass.
As long as he was able to take down this Shui Qianrou, his Lord Father would certainly appoint him as the Crown Prince. Once he married Shui Qianrou, he would be on the path to the pinnacle. When he thought of this fact, he grew very excited in his heart. He then yelled out,
All troops, full-speed ahead! We must surround Jiang Yin in one day!
Ahoo!
The giant ape began to increase its speed while the surrounding Soul Travel Realm experts circulated their essence force to move at full speed. More than 800 Purple Mansion Realm martial artists obviously couldn’t keep up, but Yun He didn’t bother about them and just let them slowly catch up.
Half a day later…
Countless scouts came over to report and affirmed that a few of the legions had arrived within the 50-kilometer-distance from the Ghost Woods. When Yun He confirmed that Jiang Yi remained in place using the Green Noxious Bugs, he instantly laughed with delight.
Hahaha, Jiang Yi has nowhere to run now. All troops, advance another 25 kilometers towards the forest and rest for 6 hours. Prepare for battle!
Wa…
Shui Qianrou was extremely, and her face was filled with delight. Jiang Yi had been a nightmare to her all this time; if she didn’t kill Jiang Yi, she wouldn’t be able to have a good night’s sleep. There were many times that Jiang Yi’s icy cold, devilish eyes appeared in her dreams, causing her to wake up from shock. After so many months, she was about to obtain what she desired. Naturally, she was excited.
Soon enough, the troops advanced for another 25 kilometers before they stopped. The other legions of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom had received the orders from Yun He to rest for three hours and prepare for battle. After all, they had been tracking Jiang Yi for the past few days and nights, which made them very tired.
Why is there a need to rest? What can Jiang Yi do by himself when facing so many people?
Yun He asked the legions to take a rest, but Shui Qianrou didn’t want that. From her perspective—no matter how formidable Jiang Yi was, he was still a single individual. With so many troops surrounding to kill him, he would have to die even if he had three heads and six arms. She shouted out with anger,
Yun He, send out the orders to attack immediately. If you don’t give the orders, I will let my Water Moon Observatory’s people make the move.
Fool!
Yun He was silently rampaging with anger in his heart. Since they had already surrounded him, there wasn’t a need to hurry. Everyone had been pursuing him for the past few days and nights; even the Soul Travel Realm experts found it unbearable. Some Purple Mansion Realm fighters had yet to even catch up with the main legion—what if there were some accidents? Of course… Yun He didn’t think there would be any surprises, but he had learned a few years of military strategies. It was clear to him that the eagerness of victory was a taboo.
Even though his heart was raging, he could only patiently explain:
Qianrou. We have been chasing for such a long time. There shouldn’t be any hurry in these few hours, right? Look at how tired everyone is…
I don’t care!
Shui Qianrou’s bossy young lady’s temperament showed. She jumped off of the giant ape and waved her hand.
People from the Water Moon Observatory, listen to my orders. Continue to advance and kill Jiang Yi. There will be rewards upon success.
Don’t do it!
Yun He frantically jumped over and held back Shui Qianrou while speaking helplessly,
Alright then. Don’t be rash. I will give the orders, okay?
Shui Qianrou dropped her orders only at this moment and pouted her lips.
Ask your men to capture him alive. This Young Lady wants to torture him to death personally.
Yun He nodded and gave his instructions to three scouts:
Send the message to Huoshu, Minghui, and Gute. Ask them to advance and close up the entrapment; don’t give Jiang Yi a chance to break out.
Swish!
The three scouts moved in three different directions at the fastest speed to pass on the orders to the three other legions. Yun He then waved his hand while ordering them:
Continue the advancement, and prepare for battle.
Scatter!
With a wave of Shui Qianrou’s hand, the Water Moon Observatory left behind ten individuals while scattering the other forty, fanning out to surround the Ghost Woods. Once Jiang Yi tried to break out of the entrapment, they only required one of them to delay him in order for the rest to surround him immediately.
In just one hour, the four armies were already approaching the Ghost Woods. After making sure that Jiang Yi was in this forest, Yun He gave his orders. All the legions each sent out half of their men into the Ghost Woods while the other half stayed behind to maintain the entrapment, waiting for Jiang Yi to die or try to break out.
