Although everyone knew that Yun Sheng was a summoner, they had never seen Yun Sheng summon a beast before. So they all assumed that Yun Sheng was only skilled in medicine.
A month ago, Yun Sheng had sent her subordinates to the southern part of Zhou State to investigate the situation there.
"Don't worry, we'll set up an ambush on both sides. We must catch the Phantom Beast Army unprepared," Yun Sheng comforted everyone.
Since she knew the background of the Hunter Corps that was going to ambush them tonight, it was much easier for Yun Sheng to set up a trap.
The Everlasting Chamber of Commerce was the continent's largest chamber of commerce. Even the infamous Phantom Beast Army did not dare to directly rob the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce's people and goods.
If she didn't guess wrong, the middle aged man and the Phantom Beast Army's goal was not the Chamber of Commerce's goods, but some of the account books.
Those account books were definitely related to an important person in the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce. They were also very important to Zhou Qingchuan.
The people of the Phantom Beast Army would definitely take advantage of the chaos to snatch the account books.
For Yun Sheng, she was not afraid of the Phantom Beast Army.
On the contrary, she was looking forward to meeting the Phantom Beast Army. Zhou Bing had said that the Phantom Beast Army had a special method of controlling beasts.
If she could confirm the other party's special method of controlling beasts in this ambush and learn it, then she could use it on the Heaven Hunting Corps. It would definitely be a great boost to the Heaven Hunting Corps.
Under Yun Canglang and Zhou Quan's arrangements, the Heaven Hunting Corps hid in the mountains and quietly waited for the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce's caravan to arrive.
Around sunset, the sunlight on King of Hell's Mountain Range gradually dissipated. The dense forest turned into ghostly shadows, as if there were countless ghosts.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard as a large caravan appeared on the winding mountain ridge.
The members of the Heaven Expedition Hunting Corps hidden in the trees were able to see the situation of the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce's caravan from their high vantage point.
This caravan was not small. There were dozens of carriages, horses, and other supplies.
The Everlasting Chamber of Commerce was a large chamber of commerce, so when they went out, they would definitely invite a group of hunters to protect them.
There were some well-equipped mercenaries scattered around the caravan.
It was obvious that these mercenaries had undergone professional training. There were men and women, and there were even a few mages.
They were careful along the way, checking for traps or ambushes.
Yun Canglang was already prepared for this. Before they set up the ambush, they had already cleaned up their tracks.
The caravan became even tighter. A flag was placed on the carriage at the front of the group.
On the flag, there was a circular emblem of the Chamber of Commerce that looked like a Tai Chi symbol. Below the emblem were the two words "Wuji".
"Here it comes." Yun Sheng's eyelids suddenly twitched, and she immediately became energetic.
Yun Canglang and the others did not make a sound.
At this time, the twilight was already fading, and the road ahead was gradually becoming blurry.
The caravan of the Chamber of Commerce stopped. It was obvious that they were discussing whether they should continue their journey through the night or stay where they were.
Yun Sheng's gaze flickered and landed in front of a row of carriages.
With this glance, she saw a purple figure.
Zhou Qingchuan had a handsome face and purple hair. He always had a refined and courteous appearance at all times. Surprisingly, he was in the queue.
Zhou Qingchuan was arguing with a middle-aged man in the caravan.
Yun Sheng quietly activated her magic. A gust of wind blew through the forest, and the middle-aged man and Zhou Qingchuan's words fell intermittently into her ears.
"Third Uncle, Yama's Ridge is a well-known dangerous place in Zhou State. I suggest that we continue our journey through the night and cross this ridge before resting." Zhou Qingchuan looked at the sky. There was still some time before it was dark. If they let a few mages use the illumination magic array, they would be able to cross Yama's Ridge in an Hour or two.
"You also said that this place is dangerous. If we continue to travel through the night, wouldn't it be worse if we encounter an ambush? I think it's better to rest here and wait until tomorrow morning to cross the mountains. One day should be enough. "The middle-aged man was dressed in luxurious clothes with an arrogant face. He looked at Zhou Qingchuan with disdain.
Yun Sheng's eyes lit up. She recognized that the middle-aged man was the one who had met with the people of the Phantom Beast Corps in the forest earlier.
She didn't expect this person to be Zhou Qingchuan's third uncle.
Zhou Qingchuan was the eldest son of the fourth branch of the Everlasting Chamber of Commerce. His father had passed away. This time, his third uncle, Zhou Long, was escorting the caravan with him.
Zhou Long didn't notice that there were several pairs of eyes looking at him disdainfully tens of meters above his head.
He refused Zhou Qingchuan's suggestion to rest here and insisted on continuing their journey through the night.
He thought in his heart: You're just a kid. Relying on the fact that you've managed the auction house in Luoxia City well, you dare to order me around.
"But Third Uncle, the things we're carrying this time are very valuable. The longer we stay in Yanwang Ridge, the more dangerous it is." Zhou Qingchuan looked at the large amount of supplies with a difficult expression. His gaze swept over a few carriages.
Zhou Long secretly sneered in his heart: "Cunning kid, you think I don't know you got the account book? You want to expose me? You're still too inexperienced. "
Zhou Qingchuan also knew that his third uncle didn't see eye to eye with him. However, his position in the Chamber of Commerce was always inferior to his uncles in the clan. He could only order his own people to continue forward.
Just in case, he also ordered people to arrange several magic arrays beside the carriages that hid the account book. The purpose was to prevent accidents along the way.
Zhou Long looked at Zhou Qingchuan's meticulous arrangements from the side. He secretly gave a few disguised hunters in the caravan a look and waited for the night to come.
Under Zhou Long's insistence, Zhou Qingchuan finally had to compromise and set up camp in the same place.
After Yun Sheng saw the secret competition between the uncle and nephew, the few of them were still expressionless and quietly waited for the appearance of the Phantom Beast Corps.
Around sunset, the sunlight on King of Hell's Ridge gradually dissipated. The dense forest turned into ghostly shadows, as if there were countless ghostly shadows.
In this area, in order to prevent strange magical beasts from approaching, Zhou Qingchuan and the others did not light a fire. Instead, they arranged several magic arrays.
The gentle light of the magic arrays illuminated the surroundings.
Everything seemed normal. After drinking some water and eating some dry food, the people of the Chamber of Commerce returned to their respective tents and began to rest.
Yun Sheng secretly counted. There were about 120 people in the Wuji Caravan.
There were about 30 to 40 hunters who were hired. Most of the hunters were warriors, and there were about five to six mages.
Although Zhou Qingchuan was only a merchant, his thinking was very clear.
He divided the hunters into two groups. One group would be on duty in the first half of the night, and the other group would be on duty in the second half of the night.
He himself slept in a tent next to the carriage.
