Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 115 - 116: Superior Strategy

"Hyah!"

The two of them were galloping through the forest on horseback.

Heading south all the way.

They didn’t know how far they had gone.

They only stopped by a riverside when even Jiang Feng’s Thousand-Mile Horse started to feel fatigued.

"Sister Dong, you’re hiding something from me."

Jiang Feng went to the riverbank and filled a pot with water.

Han Dong took out some dry food and handed a piece to Jiang Feng.

The two of them sat on the ground.

Han Dong said, "I didn’t tell you for your own good."

"I should have realized earlier, how could Lord Director of the Prison go to the Imperial City to ask for orders just because of a casual remark from you, the matter of the list is true, but the secret of the Demon Slaying Skill and Five Poison Grass is false, right?"

Jiang Feng said.

"You’ve only got it half right."

Han Dong stood up and said, "The list is real, and the secret of the Demon Slaying Skill and Five Poison Grass is also real."

"Sister Dong, I understand you want to avenge our sect, and it’s fine if you want the Second Prince to pay some price, but we can’t use the previous plan anymore."

Jiang Feng stood up after her and said.

"Then what plan do you have?"

Han Dong asked.

"I..."

Jiang Feng was at a loss for words.

Initially, he didn’t know the list was real and was thinking of letting Han Dong return to Dragon Capital. As the Grand Commander of Zhenbei Prison, she could meet the Second Prince and use the secret as an exchange, asking the Second Prince to dispatch people to kill a group of Red Lotus Sect experts.

Let the Second Prince and the Red Lotus Sect fight face-to-face.

Using the heads of the Red Lotus Sect followers as an exchange, this could satisfy the Second Prince and also take revenge on the Red Lotus Sect.

This was an open strategy.

Even if the Second Prince decrypts the cultivation technique later and finds it hard to cultivate, he can’t do much to Han Dong, at least not easily.

Now that the list is real,

Han Dong has a legitimate excuse.

She can use the garrison forces to retaliate against the Second Prince and the Red Lotus Sect, and Han Dong would not give up easily.

"Before meeting with Lord Director of the Prison, I cannot return to Dragon Capital. I don’t want to involve you. Ride the horse and run anywhere; come back to Dragon Capital in five days."

Han Dong clearly knew the matter of the list had leaked.

Now, not only the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince but even the people of the Red Lotus Sect are eyeing her, and in the Court, those related to the Red Lotus Sect are also watching her.

For both her and Jiang Feng,

returning to Dragon Capital easily would be a dead end.

Only when the garrison personnel of Bao Longwei arrive and the list is handed over to Bao Longwei can she safely return to Dragon Capital.

"Sister Dong, just tell me where you and Lord Director of the Prison agreed to meet!"

Jiang Feng sighed.

If running could solve the problem, he would have done so long ago.

Now he’s entangled in the matters of the list and the Five Poison Grass. If these two issues aren’t resolved, they’ll lead to endless troubles in the future.

He knows that Han Dong and Bao Longwei must have agreed on a meeting place.

"Actually, I shouldn’t have brought you out."

Han Dong looked apologetic.

"If I hadn’t come out with Sister Dong, it wouldn’t be the Second Prince looking for me now, but those on the list blocking my doorstep. Sister Dong, stop saying this, just tell me where you and Lord Director of the Prison agreed to meet."

Jiang Feng was resigned.

"White Tiger Mountain!"

Han Dong nodded.

The two of them immediately rode towards it.

An hour later,

Jiang Feng and Han Dong entered White Tiger Mountain.

"Sister Dong, you’ve really chosen a good place; White Tiger Mountain is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with only one entrance and exit. Once the Red Lotus Sect and various other people come up, as long as Lord Director of the Prison leads the garrison to block the entrance, no one will escape."

Standing on the mountain top of White Tiger Mountain, looking at the surrounding terrain, Jiang Feng remarked.

"This is their burial ground."

Han Dong nodded.

"Sister Dong, this is truly ’fighting to the death to be reborn.’

Jiang Feng felt a growing respect for Han Dong.

This woman was both brave and wise.

Using the secret of the Five Poison Grass and the contents of the list to force everyone to take the risk and come to White Tiger Mountain.

Even knowing there was danger,

for the sake of obtaining the cultivation technique and list contents,

they could only take the risk.

Han Dong said nothing.

She approached a stone, used all her strength to push it aside.

Jiang Feng came over.

Underneath the stone,

there was a wooden board.

Han Dong lifted the wooden board.

She retrieved a large box from beneath.

The box was opened in front of Jiang Feng. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Sister Dong... you?"

Jiang Feng was startled by the contents of the box.

It was full of deadly weapons.

There were flying sabers,

poison needles,

poison,

and a full jar of Thunder Burst Beads,

along with a large jar of poison nails.

"These are for you."

Han Dong took another box from below.

Upon opening it,

it was filled with arrows and a much more valuable, powerful Overlord Bow.

"Sister Dong, did you place these here the last time you left Dragon Capital?"

Jiang Feng was shocked.

"Yes."

Han Dong nodded and began setting things up on the mountain.

Jiang Feng looked at her busy figure,

for the first time finding this woman terribly frightening.

He initially thought

Han Dong’s plan was something she worked out with Bao Longwei after returning to Zhenbei Prison. But now, it was a huge mistake.

Han Dong had been planning this all along.

She wanted to avenge her sect.

Ensuring no one would make it back alive.

Just hadn’t anticipated Blood Skull escaping from Dali Temple personnel, leading to this hostage situation.

"Blood Skull isn’t after the cultivation technique, but the list."

Jiang Feng muttered sitting on a stone.

"Yeah!"

Han Dong, while setting traps, seemed to hear him and softly replied.

"If Blood Skull hadn’t escaped from Dali Temple, disrupting Sister Dong’s plan, I think Sister Dong wouldn’t be in such a hurry."

Jiang Feng said again.

He now realized.

Blood Skull’s escape from Dali Temple had nothing to do with the Second Prince, it was the rebel faction spies hidden within the Court who aided Blood Skull’s escape from Dali Temple personnel.

Initially, he found it strange.

If the Second Prince wanted the cultivation technique, he could easily have the Dark Hall make a move, why bother letting Blood Skull go, creating unnecessary trouble.

Thinking it through,

Blood Skull provoking Han Dong in Zhenbei Prison might have been under the Second Prince’s coercion, but escaping from Dali Temple had to be the work of spies. It was also because of the list’s contents that Blood Skull, after escaping, took the risk of staying in Dragon Capital to confront Han Dong.

"I originally wanted to plan slowly, capturing them all in one go, who knew the matter would leak early, and I could only go with the flow."

Han Dong explained.

"Of all considerations, Sister Dong was still one step ahead. Whether it was the Red Lotus Sect or the Second Prince and others, they wouldn’t have expected Sister Dong to choose a place outside Dragon Capital, catching them off guard."

Jiang Feng said with admiration.

Who would have thought, Han Dong would not choose to handle things within Dragon Capital, but instead moved beyond it.

"To the left of the cliff, next to the Dragon Eye Tree, there’s a crack. Go down, and there’s a natural stone cave. I’ve been down there; follow the cave, and you can get below the cliff. There’s a straw hut below, and inside, there’s a horse. When the time comes, ride it back to Dragon Capital."

Han Dong said with her back to Jiang Feng.

The horse was originally left for herself.
