Chapter 4425: 5.0177 Luring the Enemy into a Trap?

Grand Master Qiao Qiao expressionlessly swept her gaze over them, her dark eyes looking around spiritedly.

Many people were crowded together, and the entire "grand training ground" held at least ten thousand individuals.

"You all?"

Ming Ya Si followed her gaze, looking around. "We originally planned to gather and rest here before notifying you."

Indeed, this location was not far from the originally designated Li Sha Island.

"The main reason was that the storm and heavy rain that day made sailing difficult," Ya Li pouted. "Big brother suggested we land on the island temporarily to avoid the wind and rain."

Ming Ya Si nodded silently.

Qiao Mu was somewhat surprised. The news she received said that twenty thousand people from Shenzhou and Cangzhou had arrived on the island, but she hadn't expected the Netherworld State (Mingzhou) army to have arrived so much earlier.

"How long ago?"

"We've been trapped here for at least five days," Ya Si stated with certainty.

After being trapped, he had instructed a dedicated person to keep track of the time, so he was very clear about its passage.

Qiao Mu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

It meant that Ming Ya Si and his group had arrived even earlier than the elite forces from Shenzhou and Cangzhou.

But didn't it seem strange? Qiao Mu glanced over. "Why did you have to rest on this barren island?"

Upon hearing this, Ming Ya Si's expression faltered. Recalling that day, he mused, "That day, the wind was fierce, and the rain poured down. A few ships happened to run aground."

As he spoke, he himself began to feel that the situation was too coincidental.

He was an intelligent person, and some things immediately became clear to him. "Qiao Qiao, do you mean someone deliberately set up a formation in the water to lure us onto the island?"

Qiao Mu nodded. It was quite obvious, wasn't it?

When she and Long Hui's group came to Wangchuan that day, they also traveled this waterway, but nothing had happened to them then.

"There's a natural Land of Misfortune on this island. You didn't encounter it?"

They definitely hadn't! Otherwise, these people wouldn't still be so neat and completely unharmed.

Although these soldiers were all powerhouses above Spirit Realm Level 12, in the Land of Misfortune of the Divine Domain, most of them probably wouldn't have escaped unscathed.

Qiao Mu thought of this and looked up at Ming Ya Si.

As expected, Ming Ya Si looked at her and shook his head. "Land of Misfortune? No, never."

"Oh," the little poker-face responded indifferently.

Everyone's eyes collectively shifted to the little poker-face's emotionless small face.

For some unknown reason, the air suddenly felt a bit quiet, as if there was nothing more to say?

Was it an illusion? The soldiers exchanged glances, then silently shifted their gaze back to their Crown Prince Ming Ya Si.

Ya Li couldn't help but chuckle. "What Land of Misfortune? Sounds all mysterious. Anyway, we didn't encounter it."

"What, did you all fall into a secret realm?"

Young Master Ding smiled, elegantly nodding. "Indeed, we fell in, but Qiao Qiao quickly pulled us out."

Ming Ya Si frowned and took a few steps closer to the little poker-face. "Come here."

Qiao Mu simply took a step back.

Everyone's gaze instantly returned to her.

She was indeed bold; rarely did any woman dare to act so presumptuously in front of their Crown Prince.

Young Master Ding followed, stepping forward to block her, smiling. "Crown Prince Mingzhou, what we should do most urgently right now is to immediately discuss a strategy to leave this place."

Ming Ya Si's eyes coldly swept over Young Master Ding. "Move aside."
