Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 331 - The Map - Search For The Arrays Begin

"We don't know the identities of those two yet. However, we are sure that they are part of the Heaven Oracle Sect." Clan Head Jia Lei Shan said.

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and asked, "Seniors, I may have a guess who they are. But were you able to confirm that they were two boys?"

The elder nodded his head, "Indeed. They were male disciples. But how is that enough to pinpoint their identity?"

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Actually, about a month ago, two Disciples from the Heaven Oracle Sect came to the Gracious Sword Sect. However, just a few days ago, they suddenly rushed out of the sect without informing anyone why they were in a hurry."

"They must have been rushing here because of the prophecy!" Yin Shan's sharp voice echoed in the hall.

Jia lei shan and the Elder nodded their heads with a grave expression.

Ye Tian Yun too agreed, "Most probably."

"So who are they? No - the important question is - does their identity matter?" The Elder asked.

He didn't wish to waste time discussing two random disciples when they had a lot to do.

Ye Tian Yun shrug, "I don't know if they are important Disciples in the sect or they are just randoms. I only know their names."

"The one in the lead is a disciple called Qin Wentian, and then there's his junior brother Ji Yi."

"Qin Wentian?" The Elder frowned, "I may have heard of his name. It looks like I will have to look into his report before we can judge the situation."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I don't see any problem even if we consider him as an enemy and kill him if he comes in our way."

The Elder shook his head, "We don't want to cross paths with the Heaven Oracle Sect for now."

"How will they know it was us?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.

'There was never a technique to track a killer. If something like that existed, then the assassins would be out of business.'

The Elder shook his head, "They won't know it was us, but they will investigate the death of these disciples."

"Also, don't forget that we need to leave this place as soon as we get the Token Of Fate. And if we kill them, then we're announcing to the world that Token Of Fate appeared in this city."

"Whole Middle Heavens will come here within a few days, and there will be mayhem all over the place. I dare say that none of the cultivators within the city will be able to escape from a terrible fate."

After letting out a sigh, the Elder added, "Shu Xian, you're underestimating the greed and desire of people. They will devour each other to get what they want."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head; no matter how good he was, he wasn't flawless. 

"Elder, so we should just let them be? What if they use their backing to get the Token from us? What if they try to blackmail us?" Yin Shan frowned.

"Senior," Ye Tian Yun replied before the Elder could say anything, "We can't kill him, but we can put them to sleep for a few days, and by the time they wake up, everything will be long over."

The Elder smiled, "Indeed. This is what we need to do."

"So we need to arrange an array around them?" Clan Head Jia Lei Shan asked.

The Elder nodded his head, "Yes," Then, staring at Ye Tian Yun, he said, "This is why I asked Disciple Jia to give you the Jia Clan's token."

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun asked, "I will be the one to put the array?"

The Elder shook his head, "No, you don't have to worry about that. What you need to do is work with Yin Shan to mark the arrays throughout the city."

Ye Tian Yun let out a smile when he heard this, 'Isn't this what I am waiting for?'

"Elder, I have no problem with that. I will be glad to use my talents to help the sect in any way possible."

The Elder nodded his head with a smile, "That's what I wanted to hear."

As he said it, he stood up from his chair and continued, "We will part in two pairs and go through the city."

"Me and Jia Lei Shan will go through the southern city, and Yin Shan, Shu Xian will assess the arrays on the Northern side."

"From what I have seen, most of these arrays are dead. Most probably, the enemy is waiting for the right opportunity because of the sheer number of resources these arrays will take to run just for a few minutes."

"Once we have assessed the arrays, we will mark them on these." The Elder took out two bluish sheets.

"These are high-grade beast skin maps of the city. These are what I went to arrange for this morning." 

"Now have a look at this," The Elder then put the two sheets on the table.

Bringing one of the maps closer, he took out a brush and inkpot and marked an X in the corner.

"This is how you need to mark the array locations." He said as he put down the brush and then pointed at the second map that he hadn't touched; he continued, "Look at the corner of that map."

To everyone's surprise, as well as Ye Tian Yun, there was an X in the exact same place where the elder had marked it in the first map.

"This is really good." Clan Head Jia Lei Shan couldn't help but exclaim at this.

The Elder nodded his head, "These are very rare materials, and I even arranged a map on this just for the location of the arrays."

After a slight pause, he said in a very serious tone, "I hope all three of you understand how important of an opportunity this is for us. And if I can put such a precious treasure just to make a map of a no-name city, I can go way beyond what you can imagine."

"In the next few days - I want you to give your everything. We MUST get the Token Of Fate! Understood!?"
