Night fell, pitch-black and windless, with the world completely silent. Armed with firm determination and a meticulously drawn layout map, Lin Yu stepped into the area near Shrek Academy as silently as a ghost. His figure flickered in the darkness, seemingly melting into the night without catching anyone's attention. Moving like a phantom lurking in the shadows, every single one of his actions was exceptionally light and cautious.
First, he came to a quiet and secluded alley. This alley was rarely frequented on ordinary days, yet it was a remote path Tang San was highly likely to take. Taking out some specially crafted materials with the utmost care, Lin Yu began meticulously setting up a Soul-Bewitching Formation at the alley's entrance. He carefully buried crystal stones emitting a strange glow according to specific orientations, then strung nearly transparent, hard-to-notice threads, interweaving them into an intricately complex network. He executed every single step with extreme precision to ensure the Soul-Bewitching Formation would function flawlessly, making any Tang San who stepped inside feel as though he had fallen into a boundless, foggy mist.
Having finished setting up the Soul-Bewitching Formation, Lin Yu quickly left the alley and continued searching for the next suitable ambush spot. His gaze was sharp and alert, missing not a single corner that might hide danger.
