The two of them quickly walked toward him, moving together to an inconspicuous corner.
"Young Master Ji, shall we act now?" one of the tall and skinny Fox Beasts asked in a low voice.
Even before the competition, Ji Qing had secretly bribed these two contestants.
They both came from ordinary mid-level backgrounds, not top-tier in strength, and clearly had no hope of winning. They only intended to use this opportunity to profit, thus they readily agreed to collaborate and understood that Ji Qing wanted to target Shen Li in the competition.
Ji Qing gave a cold smile, "That’s right, act now and seize the Red Fox’s points."
He lowered his voice further, "If necessary, go straight for the kill! You know what to do..."
Anyone here in the competition could easily crush the so-called top scorers on the point board!
These two Beastmen were especially skilled in assassination and traps, with one of them also proficient in Beast Control.
Ji Qing personally brought in these two experts to deal with that lowly folk, which could be considered him "showing respect," letting him die a worthy death!
"Rest assured, Young Master Ji, we will definitely accomplish the task you assigned us. But, regarding the elders..." the other Beastman hesitated slightly.
"What are you afraid of? This is the battlefield, and ’accidents’ in the heat of battle are nothing unusual... Besides, it’s just a civilian Red Fox that would be killed, no one would care," Ji Qing sneered.
All participants in the competition were top geniuses from the clan. Truly losing one on the field would be a great loss for the clan, so the trials aimed at minimizing casualties.
However, if an unconnected Red Fox died, who would pursue it?
Blame the lowly folk for not knowing their place and having the audacity to participate in the trial, making it deserving to leave their life behind.
Ji Qing was also not worried this would affect his reputation. Although their actions would be broadcast through the light screen, allowing all spectators to see, they couldn’t hear all the dialogues in real time due to severe energy interference inside, making some details easy to overlook.
This gave him the advantage to act.
So the three of them joined forces, left the center of the field, quickly found Shen Li’s location, and set up a trap at a selected spot.
They set up hidden mechanisms nearby, with unsuspecting attacks lying in wait. Though these would not outright kill a Beastman of the same tier on the spot, they were layered with many Imprisonment Runes. Once triggered, they would greatly restrict movement, and even suppress strength.
Next, they only needed to lure Shen Li into the trap, and he would be at their mercy.
...
Shen Li had just broken free from the Illusion Realm, pausing his steps, looking in a particular direction with a meaningful smile on his face.
