Chapter 682: Chapter 255: Competing with Me in Spells? (Part 3)

...

Two days later.

When there were still several hundred miles to the imperial city.

Zhang Feng suddenly discovered an interesting thing today.

In a small county town ten miles away, a shape-shifting wolf demon in human disguise was negotiating a ’costless trade’ with a wealthy gentleman.

Basically, it involved using magic to deceive people.

For example, the wolf demon Daoist would first create a commotion in someone’s home, giving the illusion of ’ghost possession.’

Then the wealthy gentleman, using his identity in the county, claimed to know a certain high-ranking individual.

What followed was a typical scam, the gentleman taking the wolf demon Daoist along to solve the ’ghost possession’ with a grand ritual.

In reality, it was all their doing.

Zhang Feng found this childishly simple scam quite amusing.

Because they were also saying it was hard to operate locally and suggested testing it on outsiders first.

And their ’first crime target,’ according to the changes and guidance of their fortune, was precisely his caravan.

This made it hard for Zhang Feng to suppress a smile.

After all, aside from himself, even the Crown Prince in the caravan was someone they couldn’t afford to offend.

Especially since, apart from the Crown Prince being on the verge of entering the Golden Core stage, there were also two Golden Core masters and over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators in the caravan.

These scammers sure had a good plan.

Instead of choosing familiar locals, they chose a group of foreign dragons.

Zhang Feng wondered how they would feel after learning about his and his companions’ identities.

Probably not very happy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng suddenly spoke for the first time in months, notifying the Crown Prince and others nearby:

"Let’s head to Yiliang Town."

This was where the wolf demon and others were located.

Zhang Feng was looking for some fun, thinking it better to visit them than have them come over.

"Yes!"

The Crown Prince and others didn’t ask further, simply following the Immortal’s lead.

Meanwhile.

Just as Zhang Feng and his companions arrived outside the town,

the wolf demon on a street a hundred meters away saw them, surprised to find these traders entering the town!

’From a high vantage point earlier, I saw this caravan dressed in luxurious clothing, indicating wealth, possibly carrying treasures.’

’I originally planned to venture out again to investigate, and if all seemed clear, launch an attack at night.’

’But unexpectedly, they entered the town...’

The wolf demon’s plan was disrupted, leaving him somewhat displeased.

He had calculated for a long time, finally coming up with such a good scheme with the gentleman.

Yet, the caravan’s sudden turn into the town foiled all his plans.

It felt quite unpleasant.

Like setting traps throughout the forest, ready to see how prey gets caught, only for the prey to charge out from the side and fatally crash into a tree.

The sense of control vanished instantly.

However, since the prey had arrived, work had to be done.

The wolf demon thought, touching his skin mask again, and silently followed Zhang Feng and the caravan into the town.

Simultaneously.

The Crown Prince and the two Golden Core masters sensed a demon following them.

The creature was a wolf hidden within oversized clothing, walking upright.

Its human guise was fashioned from a beast’s hide.

"To the gentleman’s residence,"

Zhang Feng ignored their curiosity, directing his gaze southeastward to a street eight miles away.

The Crown Prince and others remained silent, not mentioning the demon following them, and obediently followed Zhang Feng’s direction.

In their minds,

they could clearly perceive the Immortal’s guidance.

But after riding for a few minutes, Zhang Feng turned his attention to a corner of an inn.

There were dozens of strange ants there.

These were the first batch of beans scattered into soldiers.

Now they were lifting their tiny heads, sniffing the aroma of food from the doorway.

’How did you end up like this?’

Seeing them like this made Zhang Feng almost laugh.

Rustle—

At the same time, the little ants saw their ’Lord,’ trying to rush over.

During these days, the first batch of siblings had dispersed everywhere, searching for their Lord.

Of course, they had also seen a larger world, becoming as curious as they were now.

Yet, their fledgling spirituality kept them cautious, refraining from any outrageous acts.

’No need to follow me.’

Zhang Feng sensed their curiosity and noticed their exploration of the world, kindly projecting his voice: "Seek your fellow disciples and explore the world together, don’t worry about me."

With those words, Zhang Feng’s thoughts shifted, and they suddenly appeared in a forest thousands of miles away.

And there was a pile of fragrant dishes laid out before them.

Zhang Feng had a soft spot for his ’creations,’ akin to juniors or descendents.

Meanwhile.

In the county town, behind the caravan.

The distant wolf demon was unaware of the incomprehensible events unfolding ahead in the caravan.

Otherwise, even giving him a thousand guts, or promoting him to the Nascent Soul stage, he wouldn’t dare provoke such an Immortal capable of casually performing ’magic transport’!

But ignorance breeds courage.

The wolf demon continued to follow, guessing which inn Zhang Feng and his party would stop at.

Especially as the caravan continued onward.

’The backyard of the Happy Inn has an old room that could be faked as a haunted place...

Fly Swallow Inn is...’

The wolf demon kept pace, observing each inn the caravan passed by.

As soon as the caravan paused, he could swiftly enact his plan.

This was called planning before acting.

The wolf demon had carefully studied human military strategies. Although the term wasn’t explicitly stated, he deeply understood the essence of planning before action.

Yet, as the caravan moved on, taking several turns and bypassing several inns without showing any intention of stopping,

the wolf demon grew curious, uncertain about the caravan’s intentions.

Especially as it rounded another corner, heading towards the street where the gentleman’s residence was located,

the wolf demon sensed something amiss.
