"Change the original plan?" Huang Yao shrugged and smiled wryly. "It's easy to say, but the vast Yue Ma Plain is boundless. Although we have a map in hand, if we deviate from our original route, we might end up like headless flies, wandering aimlessly and potentially encountering unforeseen dangers."
Huang Ge nodded in agreement. "That's true. This place is completely flat. If we're not careful and stray off course, we could easily get lost in this vast grassland. At that point, not only would it be difficult to eliminate the Rogue Bandits, but returning to Blue Stream Villa would also become incredibly challenging!"
The other disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect also nodded, agreeing that Ye Feng's idea was not advisable. If they were in a more complex terrain, it might be feasible to change their route and plans for dealing with bandits. However, now they were in the middle of a plain where the grass was as tall as a person, with no prominent features for reference. A moment's distraction could lead them to get lost in this endless expanse.
What was most disheartening was their unfamiliarity with the grassland, while the Rogue Bandits, who had been entrenched here for a long time, knew this area like the back of their hands. The seemingly identical terrain held subtle differences that the Rogue Bandits could easily discern. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to find their hideouts so effortlessly and follow them secretly until nightfall when everyone’s guard was down before launching a surprise attack.
"As they said, getting lost on the grassland is quite normal. However, for me, determining my position is incredibly simple!" Ye Feng said somewhat helplessly. His Soul Thought was extremely sensitive; although the terrain and landscape of this grassland appeared identical, his Soul Thought revealed slight undulations. Additionally, due to varying geographical environments and weather conditions at different locations, even the seemingly identical grasses on the plain had noticeable distinctions.
Relying on these subtle differences, Ye Feng could quickly pinpoint his location on the map. However, revealing too much about his Soul Thought could lead to him being seen as a freak, which might quickly reach the ears of the higher-ups at Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Soul Thought was one of his few remaining trump cards; unless necessary, he didn't want too many people to know about it.
Ye Feng found himself in a dilemma. If he didn’t change their plans and route without understanding the true strength of the Rogue Bandits, recklessly charging into their lair could lead to even worse consequences.
"Sigh, had I known today would turn out like this, I would have borrowed that Treasure Artifact from Brother Yang that can lock onto positions. I was too careless before and misjudged the difficulty of this mission," Huang Yao said with some frustration.
The speaker had no intention; the listener took it to heart.
Huang Yao's complaint sparked an idea in Ye Feng's mind.
After all, Treasure Artifacts come with various functions; he could easily attribute his extraordinary Soul Thought sensitivity to a mysterious Treasure Artifact.
"At this point, I don't need to hide anymore!" Ye Feng suddenly said.
"The reason I was able to detect the Rogue Bandits' ambush in advance is that I possess a Treasure Artifact that enhances Soul Sense Detection!" Ye Feng smiled as he spoke. At the same time, he flipped his right hand, and a Round Three-Legged Cauldron suddenly appeared in his palm.
Small Cauldron is as pure as white jade, crystal clear, with intricate and obscure patterns engraved on its surface.
Four Elemental Universe Cauldron!
This Small Cauldron was obtained by Ye Feng from the Silver Moon Secret Realm. Originally owned by a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, it had been neglected by Ye Feng since he never considered practicing Alchemy. As a result, the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron was left idle in his Storage Ring, gradually forgotten, let alone nurturing and refining it with Vital Energy as requested by Xuan Lao.
Although occasionally during his free time, Ye Feng would take out the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron to study it carefully. He discovered that this small round cauldron was not an ordinary Alchemist's potion cauldron; it contained four hidden formations, of which he had only activated one. He could only utilize its storage function, while the functions of the other three sealed formations remained untested.
As soon as the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron appeared, it immediately triggered intense Elemental Waves around it. The onlookers were captivated and quickly recognized that this cauldron was of extraordinary value.
Cheng Ze and the representatives from South Wall exchanged glances. Both belonged to major Various Forces, possessing keen insight, and they quickly concluded that this cauldron was not something an ordinary person could possess.
"It seems this kid is indeed from a hidden family; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to produce such a marvelous Treasure Artifact. I wonder what level this Treasure Artifact belongs to—top-tier Xuan grade or Earth grade?"
"Indeed, as expected of a hidden family. This person must not be easily offended; instead, we should try our best to win him over!"
As the Crown Prince of Qin, both Huang Yao and Huang Ge held extremely noble statuses and had seen countless treasures. Yet, upon seeing the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron in Ye Feng's hands for the first time, they were still immensely shocked.
"Cauldron-type Treasure Artifacts are extremely rare, and their functions are particularly unique. Brother Zhou truly has hidden depths. I have seen countless treasures but have never heard of a Treasure Artifact that enhances Soul Thought." Rumors about Ye Feng being a descendant of a prominent family had previously been hard for Huang Yao to believe, but now he couldn't help but start to doubt, considering that with Ye Feng's current strength, it seemed unlikely for him to possess such a peculiar treasure.
"This cauldron is called the Soul Refining Cauldron. When Soul Thought is emitted through this cauldron, it can receive significant enhancement. However, I have not fully mastered its usage yet and cannot operate it freely. Moreover, it only temporarily amplifies my Soul Thought, not completely strengthening my inherent Soul Thought!"
"The Elemental Waves you felt earlier were due to me utilizing this cauldron's ability to amplify my own Soul Thought, which caused some phenomena. This cauldron itself cannot draw upon the Heaven and Earth Origin Power!"
Ye Feng did not expect that the seemingly ordinary Four Elemental Universe Cauldron would display such astonishing effects this time, directly attracting the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Power. Helplessly, he could only fabricate an explanation.
Huang Yao, half-convinced, found the aura of the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron too mysterious. He even attempted to use his Soul Thought to probe further but was repelled by a layer of mysterious power surrounding the cauldron.
"Alright!" Ye Feng flicked his wrist, and the Four Elemental Universe Cauldron vanished from everyone's sight again. Seeing the dazed expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but feel a bit regretful; with so many diverse Treasure Artifacts in his Storage Ring, why did he suddenly think of this broken cauldron?
"With the Soul Refining Cauldron's assistance, my Soul Thought will become extremely sharp, allowing me to easily lock onto our current location!" Ye Feng raised his voice, trying to capture everyone's attention.
"Continuing with the original plan without understanding the true strength of the Rogue Bandits would undoubtedly be a suicidal act. I urge everyone to consider this carefully!" Ye Feng said seriously.
At this point, everyone finally came back to their senses, and Huang Yao awkwardly nodded in agreement.
"Since we have this cauldron to help us, we need not worry about getting lost. Let's follow Brother Zhou's arrangements!"
Huang Yao took the lead in agreeing, and naturally, the others had nothing to say.
Ye Feng spread out the map, opened his fingers, and used a gentle Vital Energy to lift the map, making it float before everyone.
"According to the original plan, all disciples participating in the bandit extermination mission are divided into ten groups, advancing towards the Rogue Bandits' lair along ten different routes!"
"If the Rogue Bandits truly are weak, upon discovering our movements and strength, they will undoubtedly choose to flee immediately and will not attack us as arrogantly as before!"
Ye Feng pointed at several points on the map and said, "I estimate that the other nine groups will likely be attacked by the Rogue Bandits simultaneously. As for the outcome, I don't need to say much; everyone can probably guess it. Although the individual strength of the Rogue Bandits is relatively weak, their teamwork and fearless spirit are what we lack. If I hadn't discovered their movements in advance, the outcome of that previous battle would have been hard to predict."
"No matter how well they cooperate, they are just a bunch of rabble. Even if you hadn't discovered them early on, we could still repel them!" Someone quickly voiced their disagreement loudly.
Ye Feng did not argue but continued, "Aside from us, disciples from Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect should also be able to fend off attacks from the Rogue Bandits. As for disciples from other sects, it might not be so easy for them."
Huang Yao's expression changed slightly as he frowned and said, "According to Brother Zhou's statement, are those Rogue Bandits really going to attack all ten of our groups at the same time?"
"Indeed!" Ye Feng flicked his wrist again, and a token appeared in his palm.
"This is the communication token I obtained from that little leader. Just a short while ago, this token has already received nine different messages!" Ye Feng's words were astonishing, causing the three hundred disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect surrounding him to erupt in discussion.
"A communication token? So those Rogue Bandits actually had a plan all along!"
"I'm afraid that's true. Did you not see those Rogue Bandits? Their movements were orderly, almost indistinguishable from trained soldiers. If it weren't for their colorful attire, which clearly indicated they came from various different sects, I would even doubt whether they are truly Rogue Bandits!"
With the communication token now in Ye Feng's hands, everyone believed him a bit more, and Huang Yao's expression grew even darker.
He had long suspected that the Rogue Bandits on Yue Ma Plain would be difficult to deal with; otherwise, Blue Stream Villa wouldn't have offered such a high reward. However, he never imagined that the scale of these Rogue Bandits would exceed his expectations, equipping each bandit leader with an expensive communication token.
The communication token is also a type of Spirit Token, quite similar to an Image Token. However, this type of token is made from rarer materials and features more complex Spirit Patterns, making it extremely expensive. Due to the difficulty in manufacturing them, they are hard to find on the market and can only be purchased in some underground black markets.
"With the communication tokens, this group of Rogue Bandits can easily relay information among themselves and simultaneously launch attacks on our various anti-bandit teams. Therefore, what we are facing is not just a bunch of ordinary Cult Remnants but a powerful force with a deep background behind them!"
"It is precisely because of this force's existence that these Cult Remnants have gathered together, trained extensively, and exhibited combat power beyond ordinary imagination!"
Ye Feng's tone grew increasingly serious. As he reached the end of his statement, he deliberately paused and said solemnly, "Once we enter Yue Ma Plain, who is the hunter and who is the prey? I believe everyone here already has an answer in their hearts!"
