Chapter 1154: Chapter 1153 Luring to Kill (2nd Update)

When Ye Haochuan arrived at the Long Alliance headquarters, core members like An Li and Huo Mengyao were already present.

”What’s going on exactly, did Ishida Taisuna get wind of it and flee early?” Ye Haochuan asked.

An Li replied, ”That’s right, we just received news that three hours before you went, Ishida Taisuna had already left that area and hasn’t shown up since.”

Ye Haochuan asked, ”You mentioned earlier that the Lone Star Alliance is targeting us; could it be that they leaked the information?”

An Li nodded and said, ”Indeed, it was someone from the Lone Star Alliance who tipped off Ishida Taisuna, and they even spoke face to face, telling him about your skills. Otherwise, with Ishida Taisuna’s cultivation, why would he care about a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator?”

Ye Haochuan cursed in his heart, damn the Lone Star Alliance, making me wait three days for nothing!

At this time, Huo Mengyao said, ”It’s not just this incident; recently, Long Alliance has taken many tasks that Lone Star Alliance beat us to. Just the other day, we had an assassination mission for a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator, and Lone Star Alliance killed him before we even arrived.”

Langfan said, ”Brother Ye, you better come up with a countermeasure quickly. If this continues, Long Alliance will have no credibility on the bounty mission board.”

Ye Haochuan pondered, ”It seems Lone Star Alliance is planning to heavily suppress us. Let me think.”

Ye Haochuan reflected; the Lone Star Alliance killed the person directly last time, but this time they informed Ishida Taisuna to let him escape early. Their approaches were completely different.

He thought about it and believed it was because Ishida Taisuna’s cultivation was too high, at Foundation Establishment Peak level, and even the Lone Star Alliance didn’t want a deadly confrontation with him.

For cultivators at other boundaries, Lone Star Alliance could easily send a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator to eliminate them.

With that thought in mind, Ye Haochuan said to everyone, ”Since they always get ahead of us, let’s dig a trap and make them pay a price.”

Huo Mengyao asked, ”How do we do that specifically?”

Ye Haochuan said, ”An Li, anonymously post an assassination task targeting me on the bounty board, and Langfan, you take up this task!”

”Assassinate you?” everyone asked in confusion.

Ye Haochuan explained, ”Since they want to be one step ahead, we’ll set a trap and catch them. For every Lone Star Alliance member who comes, we’ll kill one, until they don’t dare to act anymore!”

Huo Mengyao said, ”If it’s about assassinating you, the Lone Star Alliance won’t dare to make a move!”

So far, the Lone Star Alliance hasn’t openly torn their relations with the Long Alliance, nor are they confident enough to assassinate Ye Haochuan, unless a Core Formation Mid-Stage expert makes a move, which is very unrealistic.

Ye Haochuan said, ”Of course, the task won’t clearly state my identity. Use a fake name and provide the cultivation level and approximate location.”

Finally, everyone understood. With the Dragon Network’s capabilities, anonymously posting tasks would ensure the Lone Star Alliance can’t track it. By the time Long Alliance has accepted the task, the Lone Star Alliance will send people ahead.

”Alright! So... where should we choose?”

”The location needs to be spacious. If we choose some perilous place, the Lone Star Alliance might become suspicious.”

An Li thought for a moment and said, ”One hundred seventy miles east of the Imperial Capital, there’s a Cold Wind Swamp. Let’s choose there.”

”Alright, go make the arrangements.”

After that, An Li drafted the task and anonymously posted it on the bounty board: Hunting Task: Black-Faced Person, Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivation, Location: Cold Wind Swamp.

About half a day later, Langfan boldly accepted the task.

”Then... it’s time to ambush!”

Immediately, Ye Haochuan applied some makeup, then headed swiftly to Cold Wind Swamp with Huo Mengyao, Ke Yan, and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In Cold Wind Swamp, trees grew in clusters, and the forest was full of standing water, looking like the trees grew in a pond.

The water wasn’t deep, but there were a lot of underwater mud and silt. The mud was soft, and if ordinary people fell in, they’d only meet with a swallowing fate, so Cold Wind Swamp had no trace of ordinary people.

Here, cold, piercing winds blew year-round, and in some areas, ice stayed frozen year-round, even in June.

Ye Haochuan and others arrived early at Cold Wind Swamp, delved deep inside, and quietly awaited the Lone Star Alliance people.

”When the Lone Star Alliance people come, if they’re Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage or Late-Stage cultivators, it’ll be a good exercise for you.” Since he brought people out, Ye Haochuan intended to give them some hands-on combat experience.

Everyone nodded in agreement; with Ye Haochuan present, even if they lost, there was no need to worry about life’s safety.

”You wait here, while I circle around first.”

Ye Haochuan, disguised as the Black-Faced Person, naturally needed to show himself in the swamp area to validate the information for the Lone Star Alliance.

As expected, soon after Ye Haochuan appeared, Lone Star Alliance headquarters received news.

”Hall Master, the informant reported spotting the Black-Faced Person in Cold Wind Swamp.”

Zou Yuzhu said, ”Alright, send someone to wipe him out immediately. We mustn’t let the Long Alliance complete the task!”

”According to the Hall Master, who should we send?”

”It’s just a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator, send two or three Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage ones casually.”

”Yes!” That person withdrew, and for cautiousness, sent three Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivators on the task.

Half a day later, the three Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivators searched through Cold Wind Swamp, with one cursing, ”Damn, why’d they send me for this task? What the hell is this place anyway?!”

”The Hall Master intends to suppress the Long Alliance. More tasks like this are coming, so you’ll have plenty of time to complain!”

Another said, ”We’ve never heard of any Black-Faced Person in Cold Wind Swamp before. This ghost place has scarce spiritual energy; who the hell would come here for leisure?!”

”Heh, I’m just the lazy one who’d choose this place for fun.”

Ye Haochuan suddenly appeared before them with a grin, his black face and white teeth making him look like an African black person.

”The Black-Faced Person!”

All three were delighted and charged at Ye Haochuan without a word.

Ye Haochuan didn’t fight back but turned and ran, his speed incredibly fast, quickly leaving the three from Lone Star Alliance behind.

”Damn, where did he go?” The three chased for a short while and lost him.

”This Black-Faced Person’s speed is incredibly fast; he might be tough to deal with.”

”What are you afraid of? It’s three against one; can he counter us all?”

As soon as the words fell, Ke Yan and the others appeared, each smiling, ”Oh, that might not be the case!”

The three from the Lone Star Alliance instantly grew wary. Having so many cultivators appear in Cold Wind Swamp was not a good sign.

”Who are you?” the Lone Star Alliance person asked sharply.

The group spread out, surrounding the three, and said in unison, ”We are all the Black-Faced Person!”
