Novel Full Chapter 1372: Dug a Pit! Waiting for You to Jump In!
Yiji’s plan was quite brilliant; he intended for Ye Fan to fight his way through checkpoint after checkpoint!
Even if the powerful individuals Yiji arranged couldn’t kill Ye Fan completely, they could definitely hurt him, drain his energy, and exhaust him!
But what Yiji didn’t know was, who told him Ye Fan must advance through each checkpoint?
For instance, Ye Fan could arrange beforehand to replace all the people Yiji had positioned at one of the checkpoints with his own people.
Setting a trap for Yiji to walk right into?
After arranging this ambush, Yiji left the location, entered the inner city, still pondering his next destination.
Or perhaps finding a secure place to hide?
Suddenly, Qin Hao appeared beside him and, with a respectful demeanor, said to Yiji, “Master, according to your instructions, I’ve already relayed your orders… I’m just not sure how many sects and influential families will be willing to venture outside the city…”
“…”
Seeing Qin Hao, Yiji was instantly annoyed!
Earlier, he had been inspecting various ambush points, wondering why so many powerful individuals had left, saying they were running errands, some truthfully stating they were heading out of the city!
Qin Hao hadn’t yet understood what was happening… But now, connecting to what Qin Hao said, Yiji understood everything!
The problem lay in this!
Damn, it was Qin Hao who disseminated information about the city exit, and those influential strongmen certainly didn’t want to miss out on this golden opportunity!
So they all charged outside, rendering Yiji’s ambush locations inside Youzhou City completely vacant!
What the…!
Yiji was frustrated to the point of madness; the city exit had more than enough strongmen gathered… but now the inner city was so understaffed. If Ye Fan didn’t meet up with Princess Yu outside the city exit and instead launched a direct assault into Youzhou City, what then?
A classic case of attacking east from the west, how should Yiji defend against it?
Defend my ass!
The personnel have all been relocated…
The key issue was, now even Yiji himself was afraid!
If all this were Ye Fan’s scheme, with all the legitimate line experts among the Outer Realm Evil Demons dispersed to various ambush locations, and Ye Fan initiated a direct siege on him, what could he do?
“Look at what you’ve done! The message spread, and those strongmen indeed left, but our ambush points within the city are all vacant… If Ye Fan barges in and kills me, what’s the point of playing at all?”
At this moment, Yiji did not suspect Qin Hao at all!
Because Qin Hao’s aura was familiar, with the breath of an ordinary Immortal Domain expert combined with the unique aura of Outer Realm Evil Demon, it simply couldn’t be faked!
Moreover, the Outer Realm Evil Demon merged with Qin Hao had a decent power level… If Qin Hao really harbored any ill intentions, the Outer Realm Evil Demon inside him would surely seize control immediately!
Even if seizing control wasn’t possible, there would be no issue in communicating with Yiji!
Just this one tiny oversight allowed Ye Fan the opportunity for impersonation!
At this time, Ye Fan had already set up another trap specifically targeting Yiji… To be accurate, it should be a deadly set-up against Yiji!
“Master, rest assured, I’ve already considered this situation! Therefore, at the next ambush point… I’ve gathered a group of powerful individuals from Three Thousand Worlds to protect your safety!”
Hmm?
Yiji’s heart skipped a beat, since when did his lieutenant become so sharp?
Yiji knew very well the subordinate merged inside Qin Hao’s body, he had a lot of brute force but lacked brains, when did he start thinking things through so thoroughly?
He’s even aware of collaborating with the strong ones from the Three Thousand Worlds for protection?
If his subordinate truly had such wits, it would be much less worry for him!
However, after a moment of doubt, Yiji quickly realized, at this moment, it was Qin Hao taking the lead!
This Qin Hao, as the core steward of the Qin Family, perhaps genuinely possesses such foresight!
“You are thoughtful! However… Now is not suitable for me to stay at any ambush point. I need to patrol elsewhere, I urgently need to head to the West Gate!”
In Yiji’s arrangement, the outside was tight while the inside was slack!
Thus, he believed that upon entering the inner city, its defenses and ambush points weren’t that significant!
Qin Hao’s recent words reminded him that if he stayed at any ambush point, Ye Fan might really discover him and conduct a pinpoint elimination!
But if Yiji continued patrolling and changing places, even if Ye Fan decided to take action against him, he couldn’t rapidly mobilize personnel!
So Yiji maintained caution!
“But… Master, those influential ones were looking to you for guidance… Besides, there were candidates highly likely to join the Outer Realm Evil Demon’s vassal families and sects… Shouldn’t you take a look?”
Ye Fan was somewhat dumbfounded!
He had everything meticulously planned, yet overlooked Yiji’s mistrust towards his own subordinates!
If Yiji decided not to proceed to the next ambush point, all of Ye Fan’s arrangements would go in vain!
Because that point dispatched many Chu Family members, along with some family experts who had previously made pacts with Ye Fan, making it much easier for Ye Fan to arrange that ambush!
Additionally, the terrain there is special, with formation assistance, as long as Yiji reached that point, taking action would be much easier!
The key issue is that the closest ambush point is quite a distance away, and even if nearby ambush points spotted anomalies, it would take about ten minutes to assist.
And during this time gap, it should be enough for Ye Fan and his allies, the Outer Realm Beings, Tai Cang, and Divine Slave to take down Yiji!
Thus, the ambush point set by Ye Fan was practically the only option for dealing with Yiji!
No matter what, Ye Fan must lure Yiji to that ambush point!
“Guiding their cultivation techniques can be done anytime, but considering the special circumstances today, they should just stay out of trouble!”
Yiji, with anxious eyes, had no intention to explain further and just turned to leave.
“But… Master…”
Ye Fan wanted to speak more, but Yiji turned back and interrupted, “What’s with you today? Why do you insist on me going to that ambush point? Are you planning to betray me, trying to pull some tricks?”
Yiji coldly stared at Ye Fan, his piercing gaze seemingly penetrating Ye Fan’s soul!
Even though Ye Fan had been through countless battles, being stared at like this still made him a bit nervous!
If Yiji found out the truth and started attacking directly, Ye Fan alone might perish at Yiji’s hands…
What to do?
What to do?
