"I've been waiting a long time for you, Su Liyan. You're finally here!" A man's resonant voice came from the thatched hut ahead.
As for why he was so sure Su Liyan would come, it was all thanks to the Soul-Stealing Incense.
The incense was odorless and nearly impossible to detect. When used with a Banner, a Shaking Bell, and the proper Technique, one could target a specific person who had inhaled its scent and throw their mind into disarray.
In truth, it wasn't that the Soul-Stealing Incense was so powerful, but rather that Su Liyan wanted to walk into the trap.
If the Soul-Stealing Incense was really that potent, he wouldn't have had to wait in this thatched hut for so many days.
But this man had no idea of the depth of Su Liyan's power. For her, the Soul-Stealing Incense was only a momentary distraction; a moment later, it had no effect on her whatsoever.
And yet here he was, gloating like a petty man enjoying a minor victory. 'He really overestimated himself.'
