"I believe this is absolutely not an accident," Daniel Levi said to everyone.
Kalami Gregory nodded and added, "I also believe it wasn't an accident. So, does anyone have any good suggestions?"
Three countries, three accidents. This was simply unacceptable. They had successfully set up their formations three times, but at the moment of activation, they all exploded. There had to be a reason.
Seeing the situation of the first three countries, people from other nations dared not step forward. An explosion every time they made a move? Who could withstand that?
Their powerful individuals were not expendable.
"I think the formations are not working. Some items should be tried," suggested the person in charge of the Frank Empire.
"That's also an idea. We should give it a try."
"Then let's try it."
Thus, they decided to try using some items. Every country would surely have such things. They had their subordinates bring out their top-tier items to attempt. The live broadcast screen reappeared before them.
On the screen, people from various countries were shown taking out items, inputting information about Zhou Yan, and then using them.
"Boom boom boom!!!!!"
The result was even worse. These items exploded as soon as they were used, and the users were instantly blown into dust. Just like the others, anyone who tried to ascertain Zhou Yan's whereabouts met the same fate.
All the allied nations of the Extermination of the Pride operation fell silent.
What was this?
They hadn't even found the target yet, and they had already lost so many people!
This was undoubtedly a complete failure.
Meanwhile, on Lord Continent, Zhou Yan was completely unaware of all this. He was still cultivating and had no idea that someone was plotting against him.
Not only was Zhou Yan ignorant, but he also had no idea that hundreds of people had already been lost in the efforts to find his location.
Furthermore, these people were not giving up. They began using various methods to locate his coordinates on Lord Continent, but unfortunately, no matter what method they employed, they failed.
On the other side, those embedded within the Extermination of the Pride operation by the ancient imperial dynasties also learned that these people couldn't even find the target's location. They cursed these individuals as a bunch of incompetents.
"It's not surprising they failed. Didn't Qian Ji Zi fail last time as well? How could those Westerners possibly find Zhou Yan's exact location!" Qian Liu said.
Qian Liu was a spy dispatched by the ancient imperial dynasties and could also be called an infiltrator. He had launched several operations against Zhou Yan before.
Unfortunately, they had completely failed at Ziwei Academy.
On Lord Continent, they couldn't even find Zhou Yan's location.
"The Ancient Prince has instructed us to prepare. It's possible that within this year, a group of powerful individuals will be sent to Cang Lan Continent with one objective: to eliminate this 'Number One Under Heaven,' Zhou Yan. Of course, if we can eliminate him beforehand, it would be a great merit." An Yu spoke.
An Yu was the marshal dispatched by the ancient imperial dynasties to the Cang Lan World. He had infiltrated Cang Lan Continent for a hundred years and was in charge of all matters concerning the lords of Cang Lan Continent.
"Why does this Zhou Yan warrant such attention from the Ancient Prince?"
"You don't need to know. Since the Ancient Prince has given such instructions, it proves that Zhou Yan poses a significant threat to our ancient imperial dynasties."
"Why don't we contact the people from the Dark Dynasty? Their goals are similar to ours. Although we are not friends, we share the same objective."
"No, this matter must be resolved by ourselves," An Yu rejected the suggestion.
"Perhaps Qian Ji Zi could try again?" Qian Mian Hu suggested. She was a trusted general under An Yu, and with her unique abilities, she had eliminated many lords, making significant contributions to espionage.
"Didn't that Qian Ji Zi say last time that Zhou Yan's territory had powerful items concealing his location? Unless they find an item of Pseudo-Divine Artifact level or above to serve as the formation eye, and not just anything can be used as a formation eye."
"If we relay this information to those Westerners and have Qian Ji Zi make a move, I believe they will spare no expense to try. As long as Zhou Yan is dead, our objective will be achieved," Qian Liu immediately proposed his plan.
"Actually, we could completely infiltrate Dragon Qing Academy and assassinate him. I don't believe Dragon Qing Academy is completely impenetrable," Qian Mian Hu said.
"Qian Mian Hu, do not underestimate Dragon Qing Academy. If it were that easy, our forces wouldn't have been annihilated last time," An Yu said.
An Yu quickly shook his head and continued, "Qian Liu, your method is excellent. Since those Western alliance members are so eager to kill Zhou Yan, let's make good use of them. You will be responsible for this matter."
"Rest assured, Marshal. I will handle this properly this time," Qian Liu quickly departed.
Qian Liu left immediately and, using his pawns lurking within the Western Alliance, successfully delivered Qian Ji Zi into the Western Alliance's midst.
At this moment, Li Yizhi, the head of the Overseas Alliance Nations, addressed everyone, "Someone within our forces has found a person who claims to have a way to locate the individual we are looking for."
"Oh, are you sure? After all, we have already failed so many times," Kalami Gregory looked at Li Yizhi. They had suffered heavy losses. Any method they employed to discover Zhou Yan's location would inevitably lead to death.
This made many allied nations hesitant to try. It was like a curse, instilling fear and worry.
At the same time, they were extremely curious about Zhou Yan. What kind of means had he employed to render their efforts useless and cause them to suffer backlash and death?
"If I didn't have some confidence, I wouldn't have dared to speak up. However..." Li Yizhi hesitated at this point.
Kalami Gregory quickly said, "If there are any difficulties, don't hesitate to voice them. We will resolve them together."
"That person stated that a Pseudo-Divine Artifact level item or above is needed as the formation eye. If there are two or more such items, the chances of success will be even greater. Of course, if it's a Divine Artifact, we will definitely be able to ascertain his whereabouts."
Li Yizhi immediately revealed the information about that person.
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.
"What! A Pseudo-Divine Artifact is required! And even two or more!"
"This is not a trivial matter. Pseudo-Divine Artifacts are extremely precious. If they are destroyed like before, wouldn't it be a complete waste?"
"I believe it would be more cost-effective to send someone to assassinate Zhou Yan in the Divine Dragon Nation rather than use a Pseudo-Divine Artifact."
"The price is too high. We refuse this anyway."
"I also refuse. I agree with the assassination plan."
