I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 147 "The Scent-Smelling Technique" [Major Revision!]

Laozhou.

Laoshan.

afterwards.

Zuo Jing sat in the courtyard, watching the snow scene of Laoshan while reviewing the game.

“Wen Xiao is also a level 12 expert. In a one-on-one fight, even ten Murong Qizhens would not be a match for him.”

"But I captured him alive without a scratch!"

This was Zuo Jing's most successful battle.

Previously, dealing with ordinary level 12 descendants required at least three to five thousand elite warriors to besiege them, and at least six or seven hundred, or even one thousand two or three thousand elite warriors had to die in battle before there was any hope of killing one person.

But this time——

"Not a single one died!"

This shows that as long as you use some wisdom and the right methods, killing a level 12 monster can be quite easy.

There are many assassins.

Tactics can be very varied.

"Try to avoid direct confrontation with them."

"Otherwise, one or two would be fine, but if a few more Tier 12 units swarm in, it will be really difficult to fight them."

"But I can leverage the advantages of our elite suicide squads in terms of numbers, distribution, intelligence, coordination, discipline, secrecy, loyalty, boldness, and meticulousness!"

"Death squads possess various advantages, and if these advantages are fully utilized, they can be extremely effective."

Such as this time.

With just over three thousand assassins, they killed a 12th-tier descendant without harming a single one of them. Only four of them twisted their ankles while jumping around on the rocks, which was not a serious injury.

The great success of hunting down Wen Xiao in this battle provided Zuo Jing with a lot of experience, shared many ideas, and boosted his confidence.

In addition, there are safety concerns regarding the 'Peiyuan Fruit transportation route'.

"Actually, there's not much of a safety issue."

In fact, even without Zuo Jing's intervention, Wen Xiao would not have been able to catch up to the first 'fake nest'.

"When I transported the Peiyuan Fruit, I arranged the route and destination in advance. There were observation points along the transportation route, as well as high-ranking assassins responsible for relaying the task."

One journey after another.

"Advanced suicide squad relay, can run day and night without stopping."

"But Wen Xiao is just one person."

Even Wen Xiao can't be alone.

Even though she brought more than a dozen Descendants with her this time, this wasn't a fight, it was a chase. They would all get tired together, and if they needed to rest, they would rest together.

They can't exactly track down one person by saying, "This one ran the first half of the race, and that one ran the second half."

It can't be operated!

"So as long as I stretch the transportation line long enough and extend the time long enough, no matter how many experts there are, they can't catch up."

But there's another problem.

The other party can also do this—

For example, this time Wen Xiao chased to Yixian Gorge, but then stopped.

But she or Yao Shu might have sent people to stake out this place, waiting for the assassins to pass through again so they could continue the pursuit.

It can't be done in one go.

Then multiple times.

This is a flaw.

"But I've already made up for it."

Zuo Jing designed sixteen transport routes, each different and more than ten times without repetition. Even if the transport was carried out every two days, the same route would only be taken once a month.

This greatly compensates for this flaw.

But it's still not enough.

"It's best not to repeat yourself even once!"

Zuo Jing sought stability, and after this experience, he felt that rotating through a dozen or so routes was still insufficient.

Immediately, six level-ten assassins were dispatched to re-explore the six transport routes and set up suitable observation points along them.

Is repetition risky?

"Then I won't repeat myself even once!"

Zuojing has few other advantages, but it has a lot of people.

Only three to five hundred suicide soldiers are deployed along each route.

Ten routes only cost three to five thousand.

Low-level assassins are just digging dirt wherever they are, so it doesn't matter where they're placed.

"Transfer as you please."

"Arrange it however you like!" While setting up the transportation route for the Peiyuan Fruit, Zuo Jing might also be able to monitor all the regular and unconventional routes between Jiujiang and even the provinces of Dayan to Laozhou and Laoshan.

At that time.

If we need people, we can have them stationed anywhere, anytime.

If an enemy approaches, thousands of eyes will be watching closely.

"Perfect!"

……

Having many assassins has another advantage—

"Everywhere is my home."

Zuo Jing captured Wen Xiao alive, made her cripple herself, then severed her tendons in her hands and feet, pierced her collarbone, and locked her up.

In fact, these injuries are not particularly serious for a level 12 expert. They can be recovered at any time as long as there is time and resources.

Yao Xi is like that.

Wen Xiao is the same.

That's why they were willing to abandon themselves; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy.

"fair enough."

"Keep it safe."

Moreover, Zuo Jing has many loyal followers in various places, so there is no need to send Wen Xiao to a special prison, such as the one where Yao Xi is imprisoned in Kuangshan Turtle Back Peak.

No need.

Other factions move prisoners either to keep them under strict guard or because someone wants to see them.

But for Sakyo, it's simple—

“I have assassins. I can find a deep mountain, dig a cave as a prison. The assassins don’t need to have children, have no interpersonal relationships or family ties, and can stay there for their whole lives without interacting with anyone. In this way, no one will know who is imprisoned here, and the pressure on the guards will be greatly reduced.”

"Secondly, I can possess a bodyguard and see Wen Xiao whenever I want. I don't need to be transported to a designated location or come in person to increase the risk of exposure."

in this way.

They simply hid Wen Xiao somewhere and cut off all contact with the outside world, and the outside world cut off all contact with them.

Zuo Jing really couldn't imagine how Yao Shu and the subsequent generals of Fushan City would be able to find them.

"Can't find it!"

Sakyo is confident.

……

Zuo Jing is confident, but never arrogant.

This incident of being tricked by Yao Shu served as a wake-up call for Zuo Jing.

"Da Yan is very ordinary."

“Those who descend from the upper realm are no ordinary beings.”

"Before, I roamed the world with impunity and no taboos, and was in an invincible state that could not be locked down."

"But now the situation has changed, and we have entered a new era. The beings from the upper realm have brought many advanced methods. If we are careless, we may be able to find our lair by following the clues!"

For example, according to Wen Xiao's confession, Yao Shu applied a secret medicinal liquid to the surface of the three level-twelve cultivation fruits, which could not be washed off and could only dissipate over time.

This scent is colorless and odorless to ordinary people, but if one cultivates the corresponding secret technique 'Fragrance Smelling Skill', one can easily smell its scent from several miles away and then track it.

This is a cultivation technique and secret method that Yao Shu accidentally obtained when he was in the Upper Realm.

Yao Xi and her sister didn't get along, so she had no idea.

Therefore, Zuo Jing's punishment of Yao Xi was truly unjust, but it doesn't matter. Yao Xi deserves to be taught a lesson. Trouble with her now and then, which will help her behave herself and indirectly reduce her suffering or even allow her to live a few more years.

"Medicine solution."

"Secret technique."

"If Yao Shu has such opportunities and abilities, there are many people in the vast Vermilion Bird Continent who are more powerful than Yao Shu, and there are just as many who are more powerful than Fushan City. Who knows if they have similar or even stronger methods?"

Zuo Jing was relieved.

Thankfully, I had been very cautious beforehand; otherwise, there would have been a real risk of being exposed.

But it's okay now.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"Since all three level-twelve cultivation fruits are problematic, if the remaining two are also affected, Yao Shu will most likely send people to continue tracking them."

"That's good!"

"I'll use the same trick again and capture two more of your generals."

"Yao Shu!"

"What makes you think you can compete with me, you're just an out-of-towner?!"
