Chapter 1481: Discovered Again
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Remember Master’s warnings before we embarked? Can’t say you’re ignorant of Master’s temperament.”
Heads hung in solemn agreement as the leader continued, shedding light on the mysterious wolf deaths.
“The wolves were drugged by us, but they outsmarted us. Planted medicine outside their camp, and the wolves succumbed.”
Relief washed over the group as they nodded, finding clarity in the explanation.
“As for those two, they were likely captured and had their wills crushed, left behind to sow panic. Your reactions played right into their hands.”
...
A collective sense of shame settled among them.
The leader’s cold smile cut through. “Don’t buy into their schemes. Prepare yourselves. Tonight, we infiltrate and eliminate Shao!”
“Yes!”
That night, over 30 people stealthily approached Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and the others. However, Qiao Xuan detected them five miles away.
With time being of the essence, Qiao Xuan couldn’t afford to let her guard down. Sleep during the day, vigilance at night—every moment counted.
Surprisingly, her superpower became more potent and concentrated with each stimulation. A delightful revelation amidst the tension.
Tonight, a substantial number of skilled individuals, clad in nocturnal attire, silently moved with expertise. Their potential intrusion posed unimaginable consequences.
Qiao Xuan, however, smirked internally. Without hesitation, she employed her superpower, setting the camp stones in motion, causing grass and leaves to tremble violently.
This anomaly swiftly captured the attention of patrolling guards. Birds resting in the distance took flight, their alarmed cries piercing the night air.
Chilled to the bone, the guards shouted, “Be on guard! Be on guard!”
The would-be assassins, brimming with killing intent and set on catching their targets off guard, seethed with anger as their vision darkened. Curses filled the air.
“Bastard! Bastard!”
“Boss, what now? Should we press on?”
“Why bother advancing?” the leader spat hatefully. “We’ve alerted them. No chance of victory, no chance of success. Retreat!”
“Yes!”
Exposure was no longer a concern. Abandoning stealth, the group hastily reversed course.
Sun Bai and his men pursued, but it was too late. Regrettably, they had to relent.
In a concealed location, over thirty individuals in night clothes, some standing, some sitting, wore grim expressions. Unease spread among them as they exchanged furtive glances.
Something was amiss!
It felt as if the other party had divine intervention.
Despite their efforts to conceal traces during the ambush and this sneak attack, they inexplicably triggered the nesting birds, causing a chaotic disturbance and thwarting their plan.
The inexplicable turn of events left them thoroughly disheartened.
