Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 116 - 117: Gathering from All Directions

Jiang Feng arrived under the Dragon Eye Tree.

He moved a stone aside.

As expected, he saw a fissure that extended downward.

The gap in the fissure was not large.

It could accommodate a person going down.

Following the fissure downward for dozens of meters, there was a cave.

The cave was filled with firewood and a large jar of vegetable oil.

Jiang Feng stood inside the cave, looking towards the cave’s exit, where the cliff face had some protruding rocks and traces of human chiseling, forming a secret steep slope that could lead to the bottom of the cliff.

He returned to the mountain top along the fissure.

By this time, Han Dong had already set up most of the traps.

Jiang Feng looked down the mountain.

White Tiger Mountain had the highest altitude of all the nearby peaks.

There were cliffs on three sides, with the shortest being four to five hundred meters high. Even an Innate Powerhouse jumping from here would face certain death.

That fissure was the only safe passage on the mountain top.

Standing above it, even if someone knew about this secret passage and wanted to climb up to ambush, it was nearly impossible, as the fissure was narrow and could only accommodate one person, and the distance between the cave and the mountain top was a full forty to fifty meters.

As long as the exit was blocked with rocks, even if someone pushed it open, it would make a sound.

It was a place where guarding the exit could ensure no one would come out.

"Sister Dong, we’ll retreat together when the time comes."

Jiang Feng said.

"No, you retreat first. After I light the firewood in the cave and block the exit, I’ll come find you."

Han Dong shook her head.

Jiang Feng did not persuade further.

He understood.

Han Dong would not leave until she saw the people of the Red Lotus Sect and the Second Prince suffering heavy losses, especially since she planned to join forces with Bao Longwei to capture them all in one fell swoop.

"I’ll keep watch halfway up the mountain. When I see the fireworks rise, you should leave immediately. Don’t wait for me."

Han Dong instructed.

"Alright."

Jiang Feng nodded silently.

He watched Han Dong walk towards the mountainside.

He stationed himself by the fissure.

At this moment.

Beneath the prosperous facade of Dragon Capital, undercurrents were surging.

Bao Longwei had already obtained the token to mobilize troops and had arrived at the camp.

The Second Prince wore a grim expression.

He entered the secluded yet comfortable courtyard.

An old servant stood guard inside, unusually not preparing Qi and Blood Replenishing Soup for the Second Prince today. As soon as the Second Prince entered, he began, "Young Master, Blood Skull is dead, killed by a mysterious person. Han Dong and Little Prison Chief Jiang Feng have already left the city heading for White Tiger Mountain."

"I underestimated Han Dong. I didn’t expect she had this move, using the list and Cultivation Technique to lure a large group to White Tiger Mountain, intending to capture them all."

The Second Prince said.

He already knew Bao Longwei had left the city to mobilize troops to support Han Dong at White Tiger Mountain.

"Young Master, should our people go there?"

The old servant asked.

"Yes, of course they should go!"

The Second Prince said angrily.

The temptation of the Cultivation Technique and the list was too great. Even knowing it was a trap, he had to send people because obtaining either the Cultivation Technique or the list could achieve his ambitions.

One was cultivation.

The other was achievements.

And the Second Prince desired both.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."

The old servant said.

Normally calm, he was now restless, unable to imagine the help a Cultivation Technique surpassing the Celestial Extreme would provide.

"Fourth Uncle, I need you to handle another matter for me."

The Second Prince suddenly said.

"Please tell me, Young Master."

The old servant paused, then replied without any complaint.

As if a Cultivation Technique surpassing the Celestial Extreme was far less important than the Second Prince’s orders.

The Black Market.

A large group of mysterious individuals was assembling.

Wu Tianxiong and Chu Yuyan were among them.

"Come with me."

A masked man spoke in a deep voice, leading Wu Tianxiong and the others quickly out of Dragon Capital towards White Tiger Mountain.

"Han Dong, this time I want you to set yourself ablaze."

Chu Yuyan thought darkly.

The other day, she had Jiang Feng deliver the ledger to Han Dong, thinking Han Dong would come to the Sun and Moon Building to find her. Unexpectedly, Han Dong delivered the ledger to the Second Prince, making her look incompetent to her master.

She was later ambushed at the Sun and Moon Building.

Nearly killed by a stray arrow.

All signs indicated that Han Dong was somehow involved.

This time, she volunteered to face Han Dong at White Tiger Mountain.

Meanwhile.

At a Red Lotus Sect hideout outside Dragon Capital.

A large number of personnel gathered.

An old woman with a wrinkled face said, "There is a single purpose in going to White Tiger Mountain: kill Han Dong and destroy the list. We must ensure the list does not fall into the Court’s hands."

"Yes!"

They responded.

"This is a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den. If Han Dong doesn’t die and the list isn’t destroyed, you should jump off the cliff with me to avoid dying under the Sect Leader’s Hunting Falcon claws and dirtying the Sect Leader’s hands!"

The old woman added.

"Yes!"

They responded again, seemingly all Red Lotus Sect death warriors unafraid of danger.

They then followed the old woman, disappearing and heading towards White Tiger Mountain.

"Master, the brothers are all ready. We can circle White Tiger Mountain within half an hour."

In a forest some distance from White Tiger Mountain.

Lin Zhongsheng, the vanguard of the guard, said.

"No rush, have everyone hide. When the show starts, we’ll move in."

Bao Longwei checked the sky, knowing the time was near.

"Yes!"

Lin Zhongsheng dared not speak further. The large number of guards seemed to meld into the forest, losing all sound and movement.

"Damn it, the city gates are closed."

"Damn it, they’re obviously preventing us from leaving the city."

"Don’t panic, just return."

Inside Dragon Capital, countless people saw the city gates suddenly close. The Forbidden Army and Divine Arrow Army stood guard at the gates, with even the Prison Army from Zhenbei Prison dispatched to guard the four city gates. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

On a typical day, Dragon Capital was already under martial law.

Today seemed intent on not letting even a fly escape.

As the sky darkened.

Standing atop White Tiger Mountain.

By the fissure, Jiang Feng could vaguely sense a suffocating aura rushing toward White Tiger Mountain from all directions.

He gazed down the mountain.

With First Grade Qi Refining Realm eye power, he could see far and clearly.

After waiting several hours.

Finally, there was movement at the foot of the mountain.

A group of people approached White Tiger Mountain.

It was unclear whether they were from the Red Lotus Sect, assassins sent by the Second Prince, or people on the list.

But one thing was certain, they were drawn by either Han Dong’s revelation of the cultivation technique or the list.

In short.

They were all attracted by Han Dong.

As for how they knew Han Dong was at White Tiger Mountain, this was clearly deliberate by Han Dong and Bao Longwei.

"Sister Dong, they’re here."

Jiang Feng whispered.

Then he prepared the Overlord Bow and arrows.

Continuing to guard from the mountain top.

He knew Han Dong had planned too long to be taken down just at the mountainside.
