Chapter 339: I Have a Plan

If he takes a detour, it will waste a lot of time and might even lead them away from the closest route.

Moreover, the halo on the spiritual boat won’t last long, and by then, things might become even more complicated.

Additionally, Ji Yang did not believe that only Elder Guan had come; he needed to reach the He Dao Sect as quickly as possible.

Currently, following behind Elder Guan, he thought that he wouldn’t notice Ji Yang’s movements, allowing him to remain hidden in plain sight.

With this in mind, Ji Yang stopped overthinking it and continued to fly with all his strength.

…

Half a day later, three elders gathered at the previously agreed location ahead of Ji Yang.

“How is it? Have both of you found anything?”

Elder Guan asked first.

Since he had taken a straight path, he arrived there the quickest.

However, along the way, he had not spotted Ji Yang, so he only assumed Ji Yang hadn’t taken the same route.

But seeing the slight frown on the other two elders’ faces, Elder Guan realized that they might be experiencing the same situation.

If they had truly encountered Ji Yang, the three of them wouldn’t be meeting at that spot!

As expected, Elder Du and Elder Yu shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen Ji Yang either.

With all three having no leads, the three elders found themselves in a predicament again!

“It’s impossible; this boy must have taken this road!”

“And no matter how fast he is, he can’t outrun the three of us!”

Elder Guan asserted firmly.

Elder Du nodded but then queried in confusion:

“If that’s the case, why didn’t any of us spot him on the way?”

“Could it be that someone has intervened?” Elder Yu speculated.

“Impossible! The sect is currently keeping a close watch on He Dao Sect, and we have the clues regarding that person; according to the information, he should still be inside the He Dao Sect and hasn’t come out yet.”

“Hiss! What should we do now, Elders?” Elder Yu asked again.

He hadn’t expected that even with the three of them sent out by the sect, they still couldn’t find Ji Yang, and they had even lost track of his movements. If others from the sect knew, where would they put their faces?

“I have a plan!”

At that moment, Elder Guan suddenly spoke up.

The other two elders turned their gazes toward him, listening quietly.

“I suspect this boy has used some kind of divine ability or secret technique to hide his movements. However, he definitely intends to return to the He Dao Sect. Since that is the case, why don’t we lay in wait at the endpoint for him?”

“Indeed! Elder Guan is absolutely right!”

Elder Du, standing nearby, nodded with a smile and then asked,

“Then, according to Elder Guan’s suggestion, where should we wait?”

“Please take out the magical artifact for us to see!”

As the Array Map was revealed, a larger map appeared before the three elders.

Elder Guan looked at the terrain markings on the Array Map and began to think.

They needed to prepare to intercept Ji Yang, and their chosen location could not be too close to the He Dao Sect.

After all, the He Dao Sect was a large sect on the same level as the Heaven Demon Sect. If they got too close, it wouldn’t be an interception but rather a trap for themselves.

However, they couldn’t be too far from the He Dao Sect either; it would be best to completely block the paths leading to it.

But with only the three of them, they likely could only choose three routes.

That was alright; Ji Yang wouldn’t possibly return to the He Dao Sect from the opposite direction.

After a discussion, the three quickly decided on their ambush points:

“Elder Du will wait at Huaiwu City, Elder Yu will be in the mountain range here, and I will be in Qingsuo City!”

These three locations were carefully selected by the three elders; they were not only at a suitable distance from the He Dao Sect but also able to block Ji Yang’s way completely.

Once one elder noticed Ji Yang’s movements, the other two could quickly arrive.

Even if Ji Yang had some abilities, the three of them working together would have great confidence in capturing him before the He Dao Sect’s cultivators arrived!

This was their confidence in their own strength.

After discussing the general plan, the three elders added some details.

Each elder carried a tracking artifact and would continuously use the artifact to search; as soon as Ji Yang showed any weakness, they would immediately notice.

After finalizing the details, the three elders stopped hesitating and headed toward their designated locations.

To quickly capture Ji Yang, they also ordered their sect disciples to search.

Anyone who encountered someone resembling Ji Yang or acting suspiciously was to report it.

As a top sect, the Heaven Demon Sect had a wide-reaching influence, and even within the He Dao Sect, their disciples were hidden. Once this large net was cast, even if Ji Yang had three heads and six arms, it would be very difficult for him to escape from this encirclement!

While the three went their separate ways, Ji Yang steadily followed behind them.

However, at that moment, Ji Yang did not dare to use his primordial spirit energy to check the situation ahead, for fear of being detected by the Heaven Demon Sect elders in front of him.

But this was not difficult for Ji Yang; although he couldn’t use his primordial spirit energy externally, he still had his divine abilities!

Wandering Spirit Commanding Energy, this divine ability was not only very fast but could also conceal his form. Even if discovered, it would be no problem, as he could vanish at any time.

Taking advantage of Ren Yuning’s inattention, Ji Yang condensed a primordial spirit phantom to scout ahead for him.

After another day, he was now only a day’s journey from the He Dao Sect. As long as this day went smoothly, he would successfully reach the He Dao Sect without worrying about being tracked by the Heaven Demon Sect elders.

However, as time drew near, there was no joy on Ji Yang’s face.

On one hand, the halo around his spiritual boat had grown very faint and was about to disappear.

On the other hand, his primordial spirit phantom had made a discovery.

In front of him, at a place called Qingsuo City, he found the figure of Elder Guan.

Ji Yang had overestimated the capabilities of his divine abilities.

When the primordial spirit phantom detected Elder Guan, Elder Guan also took notice and immediately struck, destroying Ji Yang’s primordial spirit phantom.

Though this didn’t cause much harm to Ji Yang, it meant that his whereabouts had been exposed.

In half a day, he would arrive at that location!

Combined with the vanishing halo, this made Ji Yang feel very dangerous.

Knowing that Elder Guan was waiting for him ahead, Ji Yang had no hesitation in changing his route and decided to take a detour.

After all, he was not far from the He Dao Sect, and this little detour wouldn’t waste much time.

After altering his route, Ji Yang used his divine abilities again to scout ahead.

This time, the result made Ji Yang frown again.

Relying on the sensitivity of the primordial spirit phantom and the characteristics of his divine ability, he quickly found the second elder of the Heaven Demon Sect!

That would be Elder Du!

Although he didn’t know this person, Elder Du, being in the late Void Refinement stage, quickly discovered Ji Yang’s movements.

Thus, the second primordial spirit phantom was also destroyed.
