Chapter 1882 A Trap for Chu Yunfan

Chu Yunfan immediately realized that this was a trap—one meant to lure him out. This was the reason why You Chuyun and Chu Hongcai were merely captured and hadn't been annihilated yet.

This was the territory of Grand Xia. There were countless experts around. Other than Chu Yunfan, there were countless top-notch experts in Zhenyao too. There were even many Creators.

Once the news reached Zhenyao, as long as the city sent out a little bit of power, no matter how many invaders there were, they would all die. Therefore, these invaders had always been quick to fight, trying to wipe out their opponents in the shortest time possible.

However, the opponents this time were completely different. They surrounded their target and did not retreat even after a few days. They were waiting for Chu Yunfan's return.

Chu Yunfan had no choice but to step into this trap.

If this ambush had happened in Baotai, with the layers of enchantments in the city, even if several Creators attacked at the same time, they would not have been able to do anything to Chu Yunfan. After all, Baotai was once a border city. The enchantments and arrays in the city were very impressive. Back then, it was facing the human-demon battlefield. Because of this, the other party knew that ordinary methods could not do anything to Chu Yunfan, so they had to rely on this method to force Chu Yunfan out.

"Didn't you send a distress message to Zhenyao and the Ministry of War?" Chu Yunfan frowned slightly.

Although You Chuyun was his right-hand man, there should have been a large number of Flying Celestial disciples in the army at this time. There was even no lack of outstanding elites among the powerful elite disciples.

These people were the elites of the elites in the Flying Celestials. Now, they couldn't even make such a simple decision. That was too disappointing.

"The other commandants have sent messengers to the Ministry of War and Zhenyao to request for help. They've even sent people to the nearby big cities for help. However, all the news has been like a stone sinking into the ocean. Until now, we have not received any reply." The officer reported, "The commandants have come to the conclusion that someone is sniping us, so the messengers we sent out couldn't send the news out normally."

When Chu Yunfan heard this, even someone as calm as him couldn't help but gasp.

This was terrifying. Baotai was a big place. Messengers sent out from here could go out in all directions. The messengers were all martial arts experts. It could be said that it was very easy for them to leave quietly.

But now, all the news had been intercepted. Even the messenger who was heading to the Imperial Capital's Ministry of War through the teleportation array had been intercepted.

Otherwise, Chu Yunfan, who was in the Imperial City at that time, would have received the news. He could feel that a shocking net was falling toward him, wanting to catch a big fish like him.

"What an elaborate setup." Chu Yunfan gasped.

To be able to completely isolate the news from Baotai, one must have a huge force. That person could cover the sky with one hand. Chu Yunfan even suspected that there were people in Grand Xia who were colluding with these people.

Otherwise, the messenger to the Imperial Capital's Ministry of War would not have been like a stone sinking into the ocean. Zhenyao was pretty nearby, but they had not received a word of this attack. It was unimaginable how much manpower and resources were needed to keep this under wraps. And Chu Yunfan was the target of this inescapable net.

Chu Yunfan didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. He was actually valued so much that the enemy needed to set up such a method to deal with him. However, he understood that the other party had tied his hands. He had no choice but to go. Even though he knew that it was a trap, he still had to go. He couldn't just watch Chu Hongcai and You Chuyun be killed.

"Hehe, such an elaborate scheme. I wonder how many demons and monsters are behind this." Chu Yunfan smiled coldly.

"General Chu, you can't go. You are certainly strong enough to break out of the encirclement, and you can send out word. You can attract get Zhenyao's army to come and destroy these clowns," the officer said when he saw that Chu Yunfan wanted to go.

Chu Yunfan was like a military god to this army. The first batch of people who followed Chu Yunfan had now obtained great benefits. He had led them from one victory to another, so they absolutely did not want to see anything happen to him.

"It's no use. I can indeed break out of the encirclement and deliver the news, but by then, the enemy will kill our people and flee thousands of miles. By the time Zhenyao's army arrives, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Chu Yunfan shook his head. He could imagine the consequences if he broke out of the encirclement and spread the news. You Chuyun and Chu Hongcai were like two ants in the enemy's hands.

The other party hadn't silenced them on the spot because they wanted to lure Chu Yunfan out. However, if Chu Yunfan showed that he was not tempted, they would probably kill You Chuyun and Chu Hongcai immediately.

"But this is clearly a trap. There will be a large number of experts lying in ambush there!" The officer was anxious. "Why don't you let us set off with all our troops instead while you get reinforcements, sir?"

"It's no use. The enemy must have more than one or two top-notch masters. Even if the external army goes go, it'll be useless." Chu Yunfan shook his head.

The external army was a rare elite in the army. Dealing with ordinary experts was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. However, it was impossible for the other party not to have thought of this. Whether it was Chu Hongcai or You Chuyun, they were easily defeated and surrounded. One could imagine that the other party must have an extremely powerful expert holding the fort. After all, this was the territory of Grand Xia. It was impossible for them to lead an army to infiltrate this place. That would be courting death. Only a large number of top experts could sneak in batches.

"But it would be too dangerous!" the officer warned.

"Don't worry, they may be powerful, but I'm not to be trifled with either." Chu Yunfan looked into the distance with an extremely cold gaze. "No matter who they are, I will wipe them out."

Chu Yunfan then calmed himself and instructed, "Contact the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. I want to buy some medicinal herbs. The quicker the better."

He still had a trump card, which was originally used to deal with Li Qianyuan. Once it was revealed, it would be earth-shattering.

"No matter who you are, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
