Chapter 1482: Could There Be a Spy?

Editor: Henyee Translations

They were all elite individuals handpicked by the Fourth Prince, capable of taking on ten opponents solo. Whether in martial arts or strategic thinking, they excelled.

Even if the other party’s defenses were as impenetrable as an iron bucket, the likelihood of infiltrating and assassinating them was still remarkably high.

Yet, before they could make a move, an unexpected incident occurred. How could they reconcile with such a turn of events? This was a level of frustration they had never experienced before.

“Boss, could there be a spy among us? How else could this be so coincidental…” The mere suggestion sent shockwaves through the group.

The revelation hung in the air, prompting furtive glances and silent suspicions among them. Each member couldn’t help but wonder if someone among them was a double agent.

The leader felt a chill in his heart, eyeing everyone with suspicion. He was not one to believe in chance or luck, and the idea of a traitor seemed to provide a more plausible explanation.

Yet, identifying the mole was no easy task. None of them appeared to be a likely suspect. Despite being trusted aides of His Highness, the unpredictability of the human heart left room for doubt.

“If there’s no evidence, refrain from baseless accusations,” the leader warned, though internally he pondered, “Could the accuser be deflecting attention from their own guilt?”

Despite the suspicion, immediate action seemed inappropriate. The priority now was to uncover the mole.

Amidst the tension, the atmosphere suddenly shifted to calmness, surprising Shao Yunduan, Sun Bai, and Sun Qian.

This time, they were genuinely stunned, struggling to grasp the meaning behind the other party’s actions.

Even the experienced Sun Bai and Sun Qian found themselves bewildered.

The only certainty amidst the confusion was the assurance of sufficient rest time. With that, the pace of their journey could be accelerated.

Yet, vigilance remained paramount, especially during the night. Careful selection of safe resting places was imperative.

The plan had undergone a drastic change. What was initially estimated to be a cautious month-long journey was now shortened by six to seven days, adding a layer of torment to their stay in this desolate, dangerous foreign land.

The return to Huning City was imminent, slated for no more than three days according to the revised itinerary. The anticipation lifted spirits, infusing the group with newfound energy as they hurried forward.

Each evening, during their camp setups and rests, small groups convened to passionately discuss plans for their return to Huning City.

The prospect of relaxation and rest fueled their eagerness to hasten the journey.

That night, they camped on a small hill, enjoying a broad field of vision with their backs against a weathered stone wall. As they neared Huning City, the scarcity of trees made ambushes difficult, contributing to a subconscious sense of relaxation.

Amidst the eagerness to return home, a lapse in attention became inevitable. Little did they anticipate that their proximity to Huning City would almost lead to their demise on an otherwise ordinary night.

Accustomed to extending her superpower’s range to five miles, Qiao Xuan ensured constant vigilance over the surroundings, keeping everyone safe.@@novelbin@@

In the early morning haze, the thunderous sound of approaching horse hooves startled Qiao Xuan, prompting her to instinctively retract her superpower.
