Chapter 599: 303: Shocking Demoness! Death News! Zhi Yan deeply regrets!

Where are Suo Lun and the others now? What is their exact location?

This is a completely maddening question and one that is almost entirely unsolvable.

Even if Suo Lun were to run up onto the deck now to get a clear view, all around would be the vast sea, without any landmark for reference.

Moreover, Suo Lun had been unconscious for several days and nights from the land to the sea, who would know where they were?

Suo Lun closed his eyes and rapidly calculated in his mind.

The countdown ended.

Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou showed the glint of a demon and waved her hand, "Go, make him wish he was dead."

Instantly, four robust men from Yaozhou pounced crazily.

Suo Lun snapped his eyes open and said, "We are in the Western Sea of the continent, taking Da Dan City at the western border as a point of reference, we are now situated at a northwest angle of forty-five degrees, at an approximate direct distance of three thousand one hundred miles from Da Dan City."

At this statement, Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou was completely stunned.

She looked at Suo Lun in disbelief.

It was an answer that should have been impossible to obtain, yet Suo Lun had responded so precisely, even more accurately than her own correct answer.

How could this be possible?

Suo Lun swept all the black and white pieces from the chessboard, then picked up a black piece, placing one after another precisely as Princess Yuanyuan had done before, a total of thirty pieces.

"The first thirty moves you made were whimsical and not in line with the principles of the game," Suo Lun said. "That’s why I remember them clearly. To avoid disrupting your layout, I played even more casually, you played your game, and I played mine. Hence, your first thirty pieces depicted our trajectory."

Then, Suo Lun pointed to the first piece he placed and said, "This is the location where I was captured by you, Black Furnace County Mount Calamity in Rage Wave Kingdom, then traveled westward on the chessboard for twenty-four squares, which is about eight thousand seven hundred miles in direct distance, right to Da Dan City at the Western Border of the Continent. Then diagonally northwest, moving six chess pieces. Since it is diagonal, the distance between two pieces is about 1.412 times the previous, which is roughly five hundred and eleven miles. Therefore, we arrive at the current answer, we are in the Western Sea northwest of Da Dan City, at an approximate direct distance of three thousand one hundred miles."

Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou calmed down, staring at Suo Lun for a long time, unable to suppress the amazement and admiration in her heart.

Meanwhile, Suo Lun sighed and said, "That is to say, I have been unconscious for at least a dozen days now, haven’t I?"

After a moment, Yuanyuan’s beautiful eyes lit up again, and she took a deep breath and said, "Lord Suo Lun, you really are as legendary, with a wit that borders on the supernatural!"

Then, she clapped forcefully and said, "Very well, you have won the first round. Stand down."

Immediately, the four strong men from Yaozhou reluctantly stepped back.

To think that they didn’t even get to touch a finger of such a handsome man like Suo Lun, it was a great pity indeed.

Then Yuanyuan said, "Lord Suo Lun, rest well. We will be arriving soon and disembarking. We shall discuss the second round of our battle of wits once we are on land."

With that, she left.

In the entire luxurious cabin, only Suo Lun was left.

He immediately closed his eyes, his back breaking out in a cold sweat of fear.

This Yuanyuan was definitely a witch, not unlike Ashi Luo in nature, concerned only with her own enjoyment, capable of doing anything.

However, she was more cunning than Ashi Luo, with even greater power at her disposal.

How to escape from her clutches?

The first round of this battle of wits was won, but what would the second round be?

Did the family in Tianshui City know that he had encountered trouble?

However, Zhi Yan and Zhi Li certainly knew by now, and Wangcheng Zidu must already be undergoing earth-shattering changes.

...

In Wangcheng Zidu, on the surface, everything seemed calm as usual. But beneath the surface, it was a scene of frightful upheaval.

The day after Suo Lun’s mishap, Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou had already sent a message to Zhi Li with just four simple words: Suo Lun is dead!

And with it, she sent a skull and Suo Lun’s golden crown.

The people Zhi Li sent to investigate the scene also reported back that the valley where the incident occurred had turned into a hell, with not a single survivor.

Upon receiving news of Suo Lun’s death, Zhi Li shook uncontrollably, collapsing into a chair, overwhelmed with indescribable joy and relief.

He had been waiting for this day!

For more than a year, Suo Lun had been his nightmare.

He became his greatest enemy, his biggest obstacle to the throne.

In his quest to remove Suo Lun, Zhi Li had used all available resources.

Several times he mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and utilized the resources of the Dragon Temple, spending astronomical sums of money to hire a dozen top assassins from the Underworld Society.

Yet, time and again, Suo Lun miraculously survived.

First, with almost nothing to his name, he reclaimed Tianshui City and impregnated his only sister.

Then, with less than one-tenth of the forces, he annihilated the entire Alliance Army of Extinction of over a hundred thousand troops.

Not long ago, he silently aided Ashi Liren in becoming the Rouran City Lord, which wasn’t the end of it. With his tacit support, a force of three hundred thousand from the Night Orchid Duchy invaded Rouran—an inevitable defeat turned into a miraculous victory by Suo Lun.

Ultimately, it led Ashi Li, the foremost noble of the land, to openly defy and pledge allegiance to Zhi Yan at a royal banquet in the City Lord’s presence.

Although no one spoke out at that time, everyone realized it was a significant shift in the wind, a substantial challenge and blow to Zhi Li’s prestige.
