Indeed, finding someone in such a vast desert and desolate wilderness was not a difficult task.
At least, it was quite simple for the people before them.
Chen Fan had always believed he was moving stealthily, but in reality, everything was under their control.
Meanwhile, Xu Daming and the bandit leader had also appeared.
Seeing Xu Daming, Chen Fan smiled.
"I truly never expected to meet you in this manner, nor did I imagine you would prepare so much for this!"
Looking at the man before him, Xu Daming was somewhat surprised.
He had seen everything in Chen Fan's eyes. Although his plan was ingenious,
and almost flawless, it had still been seen through by Chen Fan.
Yes, the spy in their group was not Yao Hui, but rather this inconspicuous man who had seemed rather careless before.
Xu Daming.
This man had orchestrated everything and brought these bandits here.
At this moment, Chen Fan was certain he was the mastermind behind this series of events.
And the ultimate puppet master.
"Who are you?" Chen Fan asked Xu Daming. Even though he was heavily surrounded, not a trace of nervousness appeared on his face.
Indeed, the situation looked perilous.
But for a master of his caliber, it might not be truly insurmountable. If he were willing, he could find many ways to resolve it.
Xu Daming looked at Chen Fan, unsure why this man was still so calm at such a moment.
"Kid, you don't seem to grasp your current predicament. You're surrounded. With so many of us closing in, you should just kneel and surrender. That's your only chance of survival!" Xu Daming said angrily.
"Actually, I think your actions are a bit hasty. We haven't even found the Emperor's Eye yet. Rushing to make a move now would be of no benefit. If we used our intelligence to find the Emperor's Eye, wouldn't you then reap the rewards?" Chen Fan said with a smile, looking at the man before him, now certain that Xu Daming was the leader of this group.
Seeing Chen Fan's confident demeanor, Xu Daming knew he had underestimated this man.
This fellow was likely not as easy to deal with as he thought. However, he wasn't particularly worried. Although this man possessed some skills, what could he possibly achieve in his current situation?
He could do nothing.
He let out a cold laugh, looking at Chen Fan and contemptuously asking, "When did you discover me?"
"The moment you tried to draw these bandits away using yourself, I knew. Then, you deliberately slowed down these men's movements. It looked like you were stalling for time, but in reality, you were guiding me to follow you obediently, leading me right into your trap!"
"You are very clever, seeing through all my schemes. Truly impressive. But I'm curious, since you knew everything, why didn't you choose a different way to escape at this point? You knew it was a trap, yet you still came to test it?"
"Because for me, this is not a major concern. I am simply curious about your true identities. The Knights of the Dead? Or perhaps the rumored Sector 13? Based on my understanding, you should be from Sector 13, right?"
"You are indeed very smart, but it is now meaningless to understand the whole story. No one can save you from here!" Xu Daming sneered, looking at Chen Fan's confident expression.
Losing Bai Zhannian was not a significant blow to him.
He was merely a cultivator from the Kunlun Secret Realm. While he had some ability, he would not pose much of a threat.
On the contrary, this man before him was the key.
Their objective this time was to capture Chen Fan alive.
After all, it wasn't just about the Emperor's Eye. Chen Fan also possessed other treasures that could greatly benefit them.
Therefore, they were meticulously focused on the entire chain of events, absolutely determined not to let Chen Fan escape their grasp.
"As I said, even in this situation, you cannot do anything to me. If I wished, I could leave here with ease. Do you believe me?" Chen Fan smiled at the man before him. It wouldn't be difficult for him to leave.
It would be incredibly easy, a mere thought away.
And Xu Daming, before him?
He couldn't comprehend Chen Fan's current state of mind.
"We are from Sector 13. Our purpose here is to seize the Emperor's Eye before you. Of course, we also need to capture you. Firstly, you possess something we desire. Secondly, if we can control you, we can naturally make Bai Zhannian obediently follow our commands!" Da Feng Novel Network.
After Xu Daming finished speaking, several black-clad men stepped forward, their demeanor suggesting they were preparing to act forcefully.
At this moment, Chen Fan spoke again.
"I don't mind fighting you, but I must emphasize that I am not as easy to deal with as you think! Since you are from Sector 13, it is within my expectations." Knowing the full story, Chen Fan understood what he needed to do.
He figured Bai Zhannian wouldn't take too long to resolve his issues. For now, he just needed to stall for time.
There were many people here,
but none who could truly threaten his life.
With that in mind, there was nothing more to worry about.
He directly summoned the Tenkatsuyoru Sword and coldly eyed the black-clad men before him. Sector 13, a formidable and mysterious organization spoken of with awe, what had they been doing all these years, Chen Fan did not know.
However, Xu Daming's persona as a travel blogger perfectly blended with everything.
If not for the slip-up that occurred too hastily afterwards, Chen Fan would not have been able to confirm that this guy was a member of Sector 13.
It was precisely for this reason that he had made his arrangements beforehand.
While Yao Hui was also a suspect, it now seemed she likely came from the Knights of the Dead, her purpose possibly communication? Or protection?
