In a secluded forest, the moment Shen Bai finished speaking, all the present members of the Observatory drew their Weapons.
They knew everything was now in place. It was time to spring the trap.
Shen Bai didn't linger. Once Red Makeup and Amber had merged into his body, he rode the wind and rose into the air, flying at the head of the group toward the Marquis of Ren De's position.
Behind him were over a hundred members of the Observatory, their formation so vast it seemed to blot out the sky.
...
「In the wide clearing where the Marquis of Ren De stood.」
The oil lamp on the ground flickered with a dim, yellow light. As a gentle breeze blew past, the flame inside the lamp swayed slightly.
It was just an ordinary oil lamp. When the Marquis of Ren De tried to activate it, nothing unusual happened at all.
The Marquis of Ren De stared at the oil lamp in astonishment. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, finally merging into one.
He knew then that he had fallen into a trap.
