My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 822: Fighting with the air

Time flies by like water, and two and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In a dark and secluded cave, a hoarse voice slowly echoed from the shadows:

"I just received news that Shen Changchuan has appeared in Tiannan Minor Domain and returned to his old lair called Dawan City."

The speaker deliberately cast his gaze at a certain figure, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"..."

"Heh, didn't some people confidently claim that everything was under control? What? If it weren't for the news from over there, they'd probably still be in the dark!"

"Tsk tsk, if I remember correctly, just a few months ago, someone patted his chest and guaranteed that everything would go perfectly, but he didn't even realize that his target had quietly left for more than two months. He really is a 'master strategist'!"

"Situ Yuan, what are your thoughts on this?"

Amidst the barbed and sarcastic remarks, Situ Yuan, who was being ridiculed by everyone in the crowd, even though he had cultivated a thick skin for a hundred years, couldn't help but turn pale and then red with embarrassment!

been played!

The initial investigation revealed that when Shen Changchuan came to the Immortal Sect, he traveled on the Ten Thousand Mile Sky-Traveling Boat of his former master, You Longzi, but that boat had been taken away in advance by another former junior brother, Hong Yang.

Because the investigation revealed that Shen Changchuan had come to the Immortal Sect aboard the Ten Thousand Mile Sky-Traveling Boat, once belonging to his former master You Longzi, and that this boat had been taken away beforehand by another former junior brother, Hong Yang.

Situ Yuan predicted that if Shen Changchuan wanted to leave the Yuqing Immortal Sect and head to the Southern Yue region, he would have to take a large merchant ship.

After all, no one would be foolish enough to spend a year traveling hundreds of millions of miles using only their own magical power!
then,

Situ Yuan had made preparations in advance.

This included secretly bribing staff members of the major merchant guilds that had fixed routes to the Tiannan region, thus obtaining information about all future voyages.

At the same time, they planted some spies in advance and spent a lot of money to hire a specialized intelligence organization to monitor the black market.

It can be said,
He had made multiple arrangements for every route to the Tiannan Small Domain.

As long as Shen Changchuan travels to Tiannan City via those routes, he will inevitably find out in advance.

then,

They set a trap along the way and secretly eliminated them.

This will nip him in the bud!
It is precisely because of these meticulous arrangements that
This gave Situ Yuan a lot of confidence.

I felt like I had everything under control.

In his opinion,

Unless Shen Changchuan stays in the inner sect of the Immortal Sect and refuses to leave, and has no intention of returning to Tiannan City or going to the front line in Nanyue, he will surely fall into the carefully woven net!
and,

Even if Shen Changchuan didn't want to leave,
He always had ways to force him to set off!
This includes, but is not limited to, informing the enemy of the battle situation and losses in the Southern Yue region, and even arranging some people in advance to infiltrate the Southern Tianyu region, contact the demonic forces in the Southern Yue region, and attack their stronghold, Dawan City, and even the Longxiao Sect's mountain gate, etc.

These arrangements,

This made Situ Yuan feel that he had it in the bag.

No matter how cautious or talented the other party is.
Ultimately, they will all fall into the trap he set for them.

Like an insect caught in a spider's web, there is nowhere to escape or avoid it!

Also because of this,

In recent days, when faced with inquiries and urgings from his collaborators, he has always maintained a calm and composed demeanor, as if he had everything under control.

To prevent leaks, he appeared confident in front of others while remaining completely discreet.

So much so that some of his collaborators had quite a few complaints about his "arrogance".

However, regarding this,

Situ Yuan clearly didn't care at all, because...

He had already completed all the arrangements, and under this inescapable net, Shen Changchuan was bound to fall into his trap.

If Shen Changchuan remains in the Immortal Sect after a while, he will launch an operation to force him to leave the Immortal Sect.

However, doing so would inevitably leave some traces.

If it gets discovered, not to mention Wan Renfeng's dying counterattack, there would be the retaliation from my cheap master, which would be very troublesome.

So for more than a year, he has been patiently waiting for Shen Changchuan to leave the Immortal Sect on his own.

He will not act until his patience runs out.

just,

Before his calculations were complete, before his elaborate schemes could be successfully executed...
Suddenly,

News came from the southern region that the people who had set up surveillance had suffered heavy losses.
Shen Changchuan suddenly appeared in the enemy's lair for some unknown reason, and discovered the people who were monitoring the area. He wiped them out almost completely!

If someone hadn't managed to escape with their life and brought the news, he probably still wouldn't know!
I've put in so much effort, weaving such a meticulously crafted web.
As it turns out, they had already moved outside the network!
Right now,

Situ Yuan felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face.

A searing pain!

All those meticulous designs and brilliant schemes ultimately amounted to nothing more than a laughable joke!

and,

Even worse,

He and his collaborators were originally on good terms, though they had many disagreements; they were only united by the same goal.

Therefore, relying on the certainty of success of his actions and plans, he was generally arrogant towards these partners!
How high he stood before,

Look how badly it's fallen now!

Even though he had lived for over a hundred years and reached the mid-stage of the Divine Travel Realm, he was so miserable that he no longer cared about things like saving face.

His face continued to turn pale and then flushed as a result.

especially,
Under his surveillance, Shen Changchuan went out two months ago and then returned to his cave.

He thought the other party was going into seclusion to cultivate for a while, and that the kid was still in that cave.

Now it seems,

That was all just a feint!

The other party probably took advantage of that trip out and had already quietly left the Immortal Sect's mountain gate!
He, a dignified mid-stage Divine Realm cultivator who believed he had everything under control, was completely outmaneuvered by his opponent.

They naively believed that the other party was still peacefully cultivating in seclusion in their cave, and wondered if they should choose an opportunity to force the other party out!

The thought of himself outwitting the air made Situ Yuan laugh in exasperation.

But thankfully,
Ultimately, he was a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Divine Travel Realm.
Take a few deep breaths.

In the end, he managed to suppress the shame and anger in his heart.

"Two months ago, the other party went out, but now they have appeared in the Tiannan Small Domain, hundreds of millions of miles away. The only possibility for them to do this is that they have a flying boat that can travel through the void!"

Suppressing his anger and embarrassment, Situ Yuan analyzed the situation with a livid face.

"Flying boats that can travel through the void are extremely precious and can only be purchased in the cultivation world of Zhongzhou."
