Chapter 701: The Meeting
Chapter 701: The Meeting
"Grice, where is Target One now?"
In the grand palace of the Makaton Kingdom, King Makaton III, dressed in his splendid royal attire, inquired of the palace's AI system.
This "King Makaton III" was, of course, Senior Zhu. The "Target One" he referred to was Zhong Feng.
Senior Zhu had been closely monitoring Zhong Feng's movements, aware that he had been causing chaos in the surrounding small countries. Based on Zhong Feng's latest activities, it was highly likely that he would soon enter the Makaton Kingdom.
Thus, Senior Zhu had prepared to meet this Blue Star player (though he didn't yet know it was Zhong Feng).
The AI, Grice, immediately responded, "Your Majesty, Target One has left the Brown Empire and entered our territory, but we cannot pinpoint his exact location."
"Very well, display Target One's entire travel route," Senior Zhu commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Grice's data streams converged in the room, quickly forming a 3D map in front of Senior Zhu. This map covered the region of the 20 small vassal states south of the Sun Empire, an area roughly the size of India on the Blue Star.
The map clearly showed Zhong Feng's movement path. However, this was a simulated route, derived from the locations of his victims. The actual path was far more complex.
Senior Zhu studied the map with a serious expression. He noticed that Zhong Feng's movements were intricate and unpredictable, much like a gazelle's horns, making it difficult to discern any pattern.
This was intentional on Zhong Feng's part. He had committed numerous high-profile crimes in these small countries, and the local nobles who had lost their valuables were numerous. To avoid being tracked and ambushed, he had to maintain a complex and unpredictable route.
Senior Zhu stared at the entire route, deep in thought. After 10 minutes, he concluded that there were six possible routes Zhong Feng could take to enter the Makaton Kingdom. However, he could only cover three of them himself.
"Let's use the process of elimination," Senior Zhu sighed.
With a wave of his hand, he used his telekinetic powers to draw the six routes on the map. "Grice, analyze the final destinations of these six routes."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
The six routes on the 3D map began to extend, ultimately converging on five different locations based on Zhong Feng's thieving habits.
Senior Zhu carefully examined these five locations. Two routes intersected and pointed directly to the Makaton Palace. The remaining four routes led to three major cities in the eastern part of the kingdom, where powerful regional forces were concentrated. The fourth route pointed to the western mountain range.
Senior Zhu thought to himself, "If we use the process of elimination, we can rule out the route to the western mountains and the two routes leading to the palace. This Blue Star player is unlikely to come to the palace, given that he must know about my alliance with Cindy Doppler. He wouldn't risk an internal conflict.
Therefore, if I control the remaining three routes, I have a good chance of encountering this Blue Star player!"
"Lagrange Pass, Qinhui Ridge, Bourbon Valley."
Senior Zhu memorized these three critical locations. Then, with a flash, he vanished from the palace.
In a remote valley outside the capital, he performed the Daoist technique "One Qi Divides into Three Purities," splitting his form into three. Each of the three figures then flew off toward the three routes.
……
An hour later, at the Laglan Pass.
Zhong Feng transformed into a Red-Crested Bird and blended in with a large flock of Crested Birds, preparing to enter the heart of the Makaton Kingdom.
This was the best method of concealment he had devised—blending in with a group of native flying birds, his actions were practically undetectable, making it extremely difficult for the Skrulls to notice him.
But just as he was about to pass through the pass, he suddenly noticed a high-ranking Skrull standing in the middle of the path!
This Skrull was dressed in very elaborate attire, and the facial markings clearly indicated he was of royal lineage, undoubtedly from the Makaton Royal Family.
However, Zhong Feng didn't pay much attention to this powerful Skrull.
"He won't detect me," Zhong Feng thought confidently.
"Yesterday, in the Brown Kingdom, a similar scene played out. A seventh-rank Skrull blocked my path, trying to capture me, but I still flew past him without him noticing my presence. So there's no need to worry about this Skrull."
The Skrull planet was relatively poor in psychic resources, with only one-fifth of the psychic energy available on Earth. Due to this scarcity, the Skrulls were limited in their psychic capabilities and had not delved deeply into the art of detection spells.
Thus, they couldn't identify Zhong Feng.
However, the figure standing at the pass was not a Skrull at all, but rather Zhu Yuanzhang, a senior from Earth!
Zhu Yuanzhang was a powerful figure who had risen to greatness during Earth's End Law Era, possessing both extraordinary talent and abilities that were legendary. He had an extremely profound understanding of detection spells. When he activated his spiritual vision to scan the flock of birds, he immediately pinpointed Zhong Feng's location.
"Indeed, I was right! He is taking this route," Zhu Yuanzhang smiled to himself.
First, he cast a concealment spell, and a thick mist of spiritual energy quickly spread from his body, filling the entire pass within seconds. This mist effectively hid their actions, preventing them from being detected by the spy satellites in space.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang retrieved two large bronze bells from his storage space.
Dong~ Dong~
The bells resonated, emitting invisible sound waves that surged toward the flock of Crested Birds.
Caw~ Caw~ Caw~
The Crested Birds couldn't withstand the intense sound waves. Upon being hit, they were immediately knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, fluttering helplessly.
These birds generally had a strength level of 2 to 3, with the leader only slightly above 4. None of them could escape the sound wave attack, and they all fell to the ground.
Soon, Zhong Feng was the only "Crested Bird" left in the sky, flapping his wings foolishly.
His position was now completely exposed.
Zhong Feng was shocked! He never expected to be discovered in such a way.
However, upon seeing the two bronze bells, he quickly calmed down.
The Skrulls didn't use bronze to create magical artifacts, and the patterns on these bells were clearly those commonly used by ancient Earth cultivators.
The presence of two ancient Earth artifacts on the Skrull planet could only mean one thing—the high-ranking Skrull in front of him was definitely a disguised Earthling!
Moreover, the only person who could use these two bronze bells was Zhu Yuanzhang, the senior!
There was no doubt in his mind that the figure in front of him was none other than Zhu Yuanzhang!
