Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1499 761: Casting Another Line!

Bad news, we've been targeted...

Good news, it's a fellow professional!

Even better news, it's a You Sui!

At any other time, Ji Jue would be celebrating with hotpot and songs, drinking a little more, but now, the problem lies here...

Where's the You Sui?

The You Sui as big as mine, where did it hide?

The opponent didn't even show up, not once. The You Sui was merely specified by Ji Jue as a guess after the fact. Even though my Ember Badge was vibrating, indicating a fellow professional nearby, the exact shape or form of this opponent remained unknown.

The first step is always to find them!

Unfortunately, such affairs are like Li Family's second looking for the eldest brother, or the Zhu Family's third looking for their nephew... if you encounter them, you do; if not, you don't!

Even if Ji Jue were to secretly scour within a thousand miles of Luo Island, he wouldn't find a single trace. It's possible the opponent possesses Tyrant-like observation and striking capabilities over long distances, maximizing their own safety.

Oh great, another sly old dog!

"Why are there so many damned dogs these days!"

Inside the workshop of the Doomsday Special Train, Ji Jue repeatedly watched the playback records on the screen, freezing all images between the two-second window when the White Flood Dragon fought back and the Abyss Lord erupted. He scrutinized every detail, wishing he could see every pixel. Unfortunately, no matter how the Paradise System decrypted it, no trace could be found.

They're extremely good at hiding!

"Still not skilled enough at fishing," Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh ruefully.

Lack of resolve, the rod isn't sturdy enough, and the deception naturally lacks depth.

Before this, he didn't even know of the opponent's existence...

In such moments, Ji Jue began to miss that old dog Tian Yuan: if Tian Yuan were here... he might continue the act until everyone believed it, until all traitors revealed themselves!

A person of high skill and courage acts this way,

With a solid foundation and strong leverage, they can act as they please.

Unfortunately, someone like Ji Jue, a Little Deng, lacks the ability. Continuing the deception might lead to a Great Break of his own, inflicting a thousand damages on himself, something he just can't learn.

As for missing this good chance, crying to the heavens won't help. The key is figuring out how to bait them again...

First, spread the news that this battle was a huge victory; Ji Jue wins, Luo Island wins, win, win, win!

Next, let a bit of trace surface through the Lou Family, creating the illusion of internal emptiness on Luo Island, and reduce his own appearance. All images are synthesized by Mechanical Descent, making it seem like he's seriously injured, life at stake...

No,

If you try too hard, it'll only lead to suspicion.

Ji Jue's current major advantage is the 'enemy in the dark while he is in the light' situation. The opponent is clearly unaware of Wolf Evil's perception; otherwise, they wouldn't have missed a bit. If they sense his actions, it's very likely they'd question if he has discovered anything!

Can't overact; the weak part could be there; let others guess if he's injured.

It doesn't matter how they investigate in secret; openly, he must appear to know nothing, understand nothing! Only in this way can he reset the alarmed situation and patiently await the opportunity.

In silence, Ji Jue tapped the armrest, expressionless.

Finally, he made up his mind.

Two hands prepared!

In his hand, the Red Sky Banner flickered briefly. Ten thousand miles away, the shadow of the tower silently revolved, brewing once more from the Sea Abyss.

This is what's great about Tian Yuan and towers, the convenience of full-house intelligence; even miles apart, as long as his command is left, it can be invoked remotely.

Ji Jue didn't mean to brag; performing an air drop directly into Tyrant's kingdom and fixing Tyrant within minutes—such an outrageous tale, no one would believe it.

The entire process was confined within the Sea Abyss, sealed inside the kingdom, with tiny leaks of aftermath, not enough to alert any foes.

Besides, the Abyss Lord wouldn't be reckless enough to allow monitoring around his den.

Therefore, no one knows about the Abyss Lord's death at present.

Such a useful ally as Tyrant, even if untrustworthy, shouldn't be directly abandoned.

If one plan fails, then another is used; even troublesome and uncontrollable tools should be utilized when necessary.

However, when Ji Jue evaluated his counterparts through his own Ember quality, he realized that his counterpart likely wouldn't contact Tyrant for quite some time.

Being so cautious, the opponent wouldn't act recklessly without first thoroughly spying and understanding Ji Jue's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

Anyway, Ji Jue won't bother much about it; first, bait in the Sea Abyss, cast a rod, and see!

Let's hold on, no rush...

Hold out until either side can't hold any longer!

Like the hunt between the White Deer Hunter and the Wolf, the first to strike might win earliest but could lose just as quickly!

Whoever becomes anxious first loses; the one who laughs last is the true Hunter!

Whether it's the effect of Wolf Evil or not, Ji Jue seems to be faintly excited by this peculiar duel. Even now, as he's in the agonizing crosshairs, he feels his blood boiling!

And the second prepared step...

"Isis," Ji Jue raised his head and commanded, "Retrieve all my travel and records during this period."

In the projection, a vague figure nodded, and a torrent of records appeared waterfall-like, detailed to every minute and second.

After washing his face, Ji Jue returned to his position, plugged a cable into the back of his head, and connected his consciousness to the Paradise System, computing power fully activated!
