Sha Huanli had not gone to the Great Luo Sacred Land at all. She had gone straight to the Ice and Snow Sacred Land!
As far as he knew, Sha Huanli lived long-term in Star-Plucking City and rarely returned. Now that she had finally come back—and so many days early at that—by all rights, she should have gone first to the Great Luo Sacred Land to pay respects to her father. Yet she had not gone. What kind of situation was this?
His manpower in the Sacred Realm was truly limited. The problem was, even if he could find other people, once they learned what they were supposed to do, they definitely would not do it. He could only seek help from the Fox Clan. And the Fox Clan had only so many experts capable of assuming human form. He could not deploy scattered forces in advance at multiple locations, especially since Sha Huanli was protected by quite a few expert guards.
He had predicted in advance that Sha Huanli, arriving so many days early, would surely first go to the Great Luo Sacred Land to see her father. Thus, he had already gathered Fox Clan experts and carefully arranged an ambush along the route to the Great Luo Sacred Land.
He had even prepared an excuse to travel alongside Sha Huanli, ready to coordinate with the Fox Clan from within and without.
Who could have known that Sha Huanli would go directly to the Ice and Snow Sacred Land? All his painstaking arrangements had gone to waste, and the Fox Clan's long journey had been for nothing.
He could still find an excuse to travel with Sha Huanli now, but it was surely too late to notify the Fox Clan and change the ambush location at the last minute.
