Chapter 1066, Ambush at Razor Peak Mountain

Translator: Silavin

“An Epic Grade Equipment Set?! And a Legendary Grade weapon? All these items are in the hands of a young woman who just reached Level 100!?” The Communication Stone trembled violently, voices overlapping from the other end, making it abundantly clear just how excited the speaker was.

The Tie Family Player spoke with gravity. “Shh, keep your voice down!”

“So, here is the basic situation. After clearing this Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance, most of the Rewards were taken by that Young Mistress from the Ye Family and someone called Lu Fan. You have to know that Lu Fan has unfathomable strength. Our Family definitely can’t afford to provoke him. As for that Young Mistress from the Ye Family, she has quite a few good items on her…”

“We definitely have no way of dealing with Lu Fan, but if we could strip all the equipment from that woman from the Ye Family, we could definitely cultivate a supreme expert for our Tie Family, helping us become a Sacred Land within a hundred years!”

“Excellent, excellent!” The voice from the Communication Stone grew even more excited. “We must secure these items for the Tie Family. Just tell us what needs to be done to get all of her equipment.”

The Tie Family Player smiled coldly. “That’s simple enough.”

“I’ve already discussed it with the Ye Family, that we’ll give them some Dungeon Instances later. When the time comes, I’ll deceive that woman, telling her there’s some problem with one of the Dungeon Instances and asking her to go check it out.  You’ll set up an ambush at the entrance. The moment she arrives, capture her immediately. Strip her of all her equipment and take her away to imprison her. Then our Tie Family will relocate the entire Family. We will leave our territory and hide somewhere far more concealed.”

“Once things cool down, we’ll find a way to manipulate a First Tier Ancient Noble Family, using them as our puppet to gather resources. Then, when we have enough capital to challenge Lu Fan, we’ll re-emerge. By then, not only will they be unable to find that woman from the Ye Family, we might even be able to kill Lu Fan!”

Pausing, he licked his lips greedily, saying excitedly. “Lu Fan has even better items than the woman from the Ye Family! That armour on him is extraordinary. Its value might exceed the entire Equipment Set on that woman. If we could kill them both and claim all their equipment for the Tie Family, we would definitely become a Sacred Land within ten years!”

His eyes blazed with naked avarice, all the greed he had suppressed in the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance was now fully manifesting.

Previously in the Dungeon Instance, he had been like everyone else, showing only deference towards Lu Fan, with no one detecting any other sentiment.

In reality, his feelings towards Lu Fan were not just deference, it was predominantly greed and jealousy!

He simply was not Lu Fan’s match. If his strength surpassed Lu Fan’s, he would have already struck, killed him, taken all his possessions.

Now, with Lu Fan and the others absent, he naturally made no effort to conceal his avarice.

The voice on the other end of the Communication Stone was actually somewhat calmer. After hearing this, it said. “Great, then we’ll do as you say. Just lure her to Razor Peak Mountain. I’ll have people set up an ambush there in advance. The moment you arrive, we’ll strike immediately! When the time comes, I’ll have someone deliver a Transfer Stone to you. Use it to bring her to the Dungeon Instance entrance at Razor Peak Mountain. The instant you arrive, we’ll make our move.”

“No problem!” The Tie Family Player agreed, then added after some thought. “Still, she isn’t someone to be trifled with after reaching Level 100. After obtaining her Level 100 Divine Skill, her strength is not much inferior to mine. Now that she has her new Equipment Set, her strength will likely be even more terrifying. So, arrange for more people. Actually, have all Elders from the Family and above come.”

“For this operation, I am not worried about being excessively overprepared. I only fear failure. If we can’t even capture her, and she manages to escape, she will definitely alert Lu Fan, and our Tie Family will face a catastrophic disaster. By then, even if we escape quickly and aren’t completely eradicated, we’ll likely suffer severe damage.”

The other party chuckled. “Don’t worry, I am well aware of the risks. Razor Peak Mountain isn’t far from our Tie Family. I’ll directly request several Ancestors from our Family to also take action, setting up an ambush there. A complete Epic Grade Equipment Set, plus a Legendary Grade weapon. The Ancestors would gladly agree to emerge and help our Tie Family seize this overwhelming fortune. Never mind one young woman from a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, even if it is a Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family mobilized in full, we will ensure they would never return.”

The Tie Family Player nodded, reassured. “That is for the best. Hurry and arrange it all. Tonight, at the Situ Family’s celebration banquet, I’ll take her to Razor Peak Mountain!”

“No problem.” Both parties put away their Communication Stones. The plan had been made.

Naturally, Lu Fan and the others knew nothing of these machinations.

After a day and night of rest, the Situ Family came to find Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian, inviting them to attend the banquet in the reception hall together.

At this point, the Situ Family had arranged everything.

Lu Fan, as the Situ Family’s guest of honour, was directly invited to the main seat. Ye Wuxian sat beside him.

Further along sat Situ Hengxing, Situ Ying, Situ Xiong, and other Situ Family leaders.

People from other Ancient Noble Families were naturally also guests, though their seating positions were of lower status compared to Lu Fan’s.

No one had any objections to this arrangement.

The Tie Family Player sat in his assigned position, occasionally glancing towards Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian, thinking to himself, [Now you’re riding high, but after tonight, let’s see if you can still smile!]

After the banquet commenced, the Situ Family’s arranged exquisite delicacies and rare exotic fruits were successively presented before Lu Fan and the others.

As for entertainment, the Situ Family had made arrangements as well.

A group of extraordinarily beautiful dancers performed ancient Dragon Country dances in the centre of the reception hall, allowing Lu Fan, who had never witnessed such a spectacle, to broaden his horizons.
