After coming out of the cave, the figure in the different coloured cloak didn’t hesitate at all as he started heading out in a specific direction.

All three of the other people in his group followed him without a word.

As they continued along, they soon figured out where they were heading.

They were heading in the direction of the Alchemy King Hall group, which was the closest group to them.

Naturally they had also done their own scouting, so they had a good idea of where everyone else was. That was with the exception of Hunters Organization, the Myriad Sword Hall, and the Ice Goddess Hall groups.

For some reason, no matter how they searched they hadn’t been able to find a trace of them.

This wouldn’t have been strange if it was any other group, but they had the assassins of the Assassins Association, people that were experts in tracking. Still, even then, they hadn’t been able to find these three groups.

That was also part of the reason why they had chosen to take this obvious bait.

They had thought that it would be enough for them to capture these three from the Hunters Organization with the artifacts that the lord had given them. If they could capture them, they would be able to find where the rest of them were hiding.

But since it didn’t work out for them, the only thing they could do now was rely on the power of the lord to take down these groups from the twelve great factions one by one.

Now that their numbers had dwindled, it was not a good idea for them to face too many people at the same time. The more people that they faced, the greater the chance that there would be an unexpected variable that would come into play.

There had been too many surprises that had happened over the past few days that they had no choice but to be wary.

Of course, with the power of the lord, even if they were to group together, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to take care of them all.

The only one they had to worry about was the person who controlled those Child Soul Realm beasts.

They hadn’t been able to find anything on that person, so even now, they didn’t know which faction that person belonged to. However, since it was the Hunters Organization, the Myriad Sword Hall, and the Ice Goddess Palace that they couldn’t find, that person should be from there.

Which was also the other reason they chose to start with the Alchemist King Hall.

As they made their way through the forest, they didn’t notice that there were actually small animals tailing them, watching their every move.

…

Lin Fan was currently sitting in a tree all by himself with Brainy sitting in front of him in her vine form.

Spread out in front of them was a board that had various pieces on them.

From time to time, Brainy would move pieces on the board and tell Lin Fan certain things.

​ At first the two of them had relaxed looks as it seemed like everything was going according to plan, but then they suddenly knitted their brows as Brainy moved a piece.

Lin Fan was silent for a bit before asking, “Are you certain about this?”

Brainy gave a nod before saying, “They’re already on the move. If we don’t go now, it’ll be too late.”

Lin Fan knitted his brows even deeper, but he gave a sigh after a moment of silence.𝑜𝓋𝑙xt.𝒞𝑶𝑚

It wasn’t that he hadn’t expected this, but this was one of his worst case scenarios.

He had thought that the other side’s pride would be too high to get involved personally, but now that didn’t seem to be the case.

Of course, it wasn’t that he never planned for this…It was just that he would have preferred to avoid this since he didn’t want to get certain people involved in this.

But since they wanted to play, Lin Fan had no choice but to play along with them.

So he waved his hand at Brainy who jumped up into his sleeve before jumping out of the tree.

As he jumped out, there was a giant hawk that suddenly flew into the sky and came underneath him, letting him land on it. Once he landed, the hawk shot out at incredible speeds, tearing through the forest.

It didn’t take long before this hawk arrived at its destination, which was another area that was covered in forest. However, different from before, there was a cliff that was at the edge of this area.

As soon as the hawk arrived, Lin Fan jumped off the hawk and flew off in the direction of the cliff before waving his hand at the hawk, sending it away.

When he landed on the ground, he was standing right in front of the cliff and he looked up at the cliff itself.

This cliff was covered in various holes, indicating that it was filled with caves, which made it a very good place to hide.

The Alchemist King Hall group weren’t fools, so they had chosen this place as their hiding spot.

Of course, with how good this place was, Lin Fan had also made it the location of his ambush.

In fact, it was actually Lin Fan that had made these holes in the cliff and sent the Alchemist King Hall group here. He had made sure that they would find this cliff so that they would use it as their hiding spot.

This had all been for his own plan.

Not to mention that it wasn’t hard with all the Desert Horror Ants that Lin Fan controlled. With their help, he was able to make this network of tunnels in just a single night.

Even now, his pets were waiting inside of the tunnels for the ambush.

However, he wasn’t able to summon all of them since he had sent a few of them to different locations to plan different ambushes based on how the enemies would act. Still, it wouldn’t take them that long to get here.

Not to mention that the enemy was moving slowly since they were being cautious.

After half an hour passed since Lin Fan arrived, the group of four from the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association arrived.

Once they came up on the cliff, they stopped for a second before the figure in the different coloured cloak chose a cave and started walking down it.

When Lin Fan saw this, he revealed a faint smile as everything was going just as he planned.

Not long after the enemy group entered the cave, the entrance of the cave that they walked into suddenly closed. However, the people in the cave didn’t notice this change at all.

The enemy group just continued walking down the cave, coming to different forks in the path from time to time.

Whenever they reached these forks, they would always stop to look at the figure in the different coloured cloak. That person would stand there for a few seconds as if they were thinking about something before heading down one of the paths.

No matter how many forks they came to, the other three members of the group never said a single thing and just silently followed the figure with the different coloured cloak.

It hadn’t been hard for Lin Fan to figure out what they were using to track their target, in fact, Lin Fan had even been using this to guide them into the trap that he had set for them.

With how sensitive Brainy was to spiritual sense, she was able to easily deduce that they were using spiritual sense to track down the Alchemist King Hall group.

Then with some special puppets that she had obtained, she was able to mimic the aura of the Alchemist King Hall group.

As for the real Alchemist King Hall group, they were currently trapped inside of one of the caves. Even if they wanted to get out, they wouldn’t be able to unless they were able to dig their way out since Lin Fan had collapsed the entrance to that cave.

So even if the enemies wanted to find them, it wouldn’t have been possible to reach them.

Of course, the Alchemist King Hall group didn’t feel like they were trapped. In fact, they thought that they were recuperating in this cave that they had been lucky to find after being chased by a Child Soul Realm beast.

As for whether that Child Soul Realm beast was sent by Lin Fan or not, it was better not to ask…

With these people from the Alchemist King Hall trapped, Lin Fan was able to mimic their auras even more realistically by actually tapping into their auras. Then he broadcasted them with the puppets that Brainy controlled.

It was almost like using them as a battery.

The Thunder Sect, True Spirit Sect, and Assassins Association group continued along inside the cave until they finally came across something at the end of the tunnel. There was a bright light that came from the end of the tunnel which clearly showed that it was ending.

It was at this point that the figure in the different coloured cloak raised his hand and said, “They’re just ahead.”

As soon as the other three heard this, they all pulled out their weapons and prepared for a fight.

Seeing that they were all ready, the figure in the different coloured cloak led them all out of the end of this tunnel.
