Half an hour later, at the peak of a mountain.
Zhong Shan, Qian You, Ah Da, and Ah Er stood there.
"Sir, we can just light a fire on this mountain and make it look like 'Daluo'?" Ah Da asked in disbelief.
"That's right. I gave you an analogy earlier. Look at this flat ground as twelve directions. North is the twelve o 'clock direction, then turn east. From one o' clock to twelve o 'clock, there are only three cities that threaten us. As long as we get past these three cities, we'll be safe. These three cities are respectively in the twelve o' clock direction, the one o 'clock direction, and the ten o' clock direction. Now, all the soldiers in these three cities have come out of their cities to look for us. There's no blind spot, "Zhong Shan said.
(For the sake of clarity, I used the twelve o 'clock direction on my watch.)
"Yes," Ah Da nodded, but he still looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.
"If we light a fire here, we'll be seen by the soldiers coming out of the ten o 'clock direction. Also, one of the soldiers we tied up on the mountain peak will be a witness. Then, the soldiers in the ten o' clock direction will be lured here, and we'll be able to avoid the soldiers in the ten o 'clock direction. At the same time, if Mister Shui Jing ignited the volcano and left a trail behind, it would attract the people from the 'one o' clock direction '. At the same time, the soldiers from the' twelve o 'clock direction' would also head there. Then, the 'eleven o' clock direction would be absolutely safe. Similarly, for Mister Shui Jing and the others, the two o 'clock direction will also be absolutely safe, "Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Then by the time Yi Yan's army arrives, we'll have broken through the soldiers' search in these three cities. Yi Yan's army won't be able to catch up with us. Then, we'll be absolutely safe after we leave this area?" Ah Da looked at Zhong Shan with admiration.
"That's right. Once we leave the most dangerous area, we'll be safe," Zhong Shan said with absolute certainty.
"Okay, I'll do it now," Ah Da said excitedly.
On the other side, Gu Lin and Mister Shui Jing also stopped at the peak of a mountain.
"Crown Prince, this is the place. I'll light the fire and we'll be able to leave this area safely. We'll be absolutely safe in the future," Mr. Shui Jing said.
"Wait," Gu Lin suddenly called out.
"Crown Prince, what's wrong?" Mister Shui Jing asked curiously.
"Tell me, if I don't light the fire, Qian You will still be able to escape, right?" Gu Lin sneered.
Mister Shui Jing's heart tightened when he heard Gu Lin's words.
"That's right. Princess Qian You is at the Body Integration Stage. With Ah Da and Ah Er, there shouldn't be a problem. But, Mister Zhong Shan … "Mister Shui Jing looked at Gu Lin, his heart bewildered.
"Then don't light the fire. Qian You cares about Zhong Shan so much. She definitely won't abandon Zhong Shan. In that case, let her watch as Zhong Shan dies. "Gu Lin's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Mister Shui Jing stared at Gu Lin with his eyes wide open. It was because this was very unusual. How could it be? How could the Crown Prince think so deeply?
"Your Highness, you can't. What if … "Mister Shui Jing was about to lie.
Gu Lin turned his head and looked coldly at Mister Shui Jing. He suddenly became incomparably calm and said, "Shui Jing, if you don't want to enter the Grand Xuan Royal Mansion in the future, you can go."
Mister Shui Jing's heart turned cold when he saw Gu Lin's expression. His face was filled with disbelief. What was going on? Why did the Crown Prince suddenly change? He actually knew the reason why he had been in the Grand Xuan Royal Mansion all this time? How did he know?
"Your Highness, y-you succeeded?" Mister Shui Jing asked in shock.
With an evil smile, Gu Lin said, "That's right. Just now, the person who tried to take over my body was completely defeated by me. My main consciousness is currently digesting his primordial spirit. It won't be long before it completely exits the Niwan Palace."
"Congratulations, Your Highness." Mister Shui Jing immediately bowed.
"I didn't expect Qian You to have already become a princess. I came out too late. However, it doesn't matter. What's important is that I have to recover. Engagement? Annul the engagement? No one can cancel my engagement with Gu Lin. Qian You is mine. "Gu Lin said with a cold expression.
"Yes, Your Highness," Mister Shui Jing immediately replied.
"Alright, let's continue moving. We'll walk from the weakest point. If we ignite the fire, we'll be absolutely safe. If we don't ignite the fire, we'll be filled with uncertainty. However, there's a fifty percent chance that we won't encounter any Great Yu soldiers. I believe in my luck. "Gu Lin said with absolute certainty.
"Yes." Mister Shui Jing nodded.
Following that, Gu Lin and Mister Shui Jing did not ignite the fire according to Zhong Shan's request. Instead, they quickly flew in the direction of the 'two o' clock.
Yi Yan led the army and slowly advanced towards the north, waiting for the reports from all directions.
King Ju Lu was extremely anxious, but Yi Yan was extremely calm. He instructed the army not to fly too quickly.
At this moment, a streak of light shot over from the northwest.
King Ju Lu's subordinate, Wu An, quickly rushed forward and grabbed the streak of light.
It was an arrow. An expert had shot over from that city. There was a letter on the arrow.
King Ju Lu eagerly opened it.
"Princess Qian You over there. Someone saw Princess Qian You. They're heading west! "King Ju Lu said excitedly.
"That's not right!" Yi Yan suddenly shouted.
"What's not right?" King Ju Lu asked doubtfully.
"Princess Qian You? How did she get discovered? Why did they ignite the fire after discovering her? They should have split into two or three groups. "Yi Yan frowned as he pondered.
"Split into two groups? Where's the other group? "King Ju Lu was stunned. What should he do now? Where was the Million Cities Treasure Mirror?
"That's right. There must be two groups. Furthermore, based on the terrain, if the fire was ignited in the west, the fire in the north would also be ignited. Why is there no news from the north? Why? Something is wrong, something is wrong. "Yi Yan frowned deeply.
"Viceroy, which two groups are they?" King Ju Lu asked anxiously.
"That's not right. Igniting a fire like this is completely useless. Unless Zhong Shan is not in the northwest, but in the northeast. That's right, that should be the case. "Yi Yan thought about it and said.
In Yi Yan's opinion, as long as Zhong Shan was not in the eleven o 'clock direction, then it could be explained. If Zhong Shan was not in the eleven o' clock direction, then he must be in the two o 'clock direction.
"King Ju Lu, follow this path to chase after Princess Qian You. She must have taken this path. I'll lead people to chase after the other group." Yi Yan pointed in the eleven o 'clock direction.
"Alright!" King Ju Lu said with absolute certainty.
"Wait," Yi Yan suddenly said.
"What?" King Ju Lu asked doubtfully.
"If you see Princess Qian You, don't hurt her. At the same time, just in case, and I'm saying just in case, just in case Mister Zhong Shan is there, bring him back." Yi Yan made a final 'in case'.
"Don't hurt Princess Qian You?" King Ju Lu frowned.
Yi Yan was the one who wanted to kill Princess Qian You. Now, he was also the one who didn't hurt her?
"Yes, the situation is different now. Nothing can happen to Princess Qian You. If you go, just check if there's the Million City Treasure Mirror. Remember, if you see Mister Zhong Shan, please don't hurt him and bring him back." Yi Yan emphasized again. Although he was sure that Zhong Shan had gone in the other direction, it was best to be prepared.
King Ju Lu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi Yan. He smiled and said, "Alright!"
"Mm, they're already far away. Now, chase after them as fast as you can," Yi Yan said.
"Mm." King Ju Lu nodded.
"Wu An, you and I are both Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators. Chase after them as fast as you can," King Ju Lu said to Wu An.
"Yes," Wu An immediately replied.
"King, I'm willing to go with you," Arhat Hui Guang said.
Looking at Arhat Hui Guang, King Ju Lu's eyes lit up. "Alright, thank you, Master. Let's go."
Arhat Hui Guang nodded. Then, King Ju Lu, Arhat Hui Guang, and Wu An instantly disappeared and shot into the distance.
Looking at their departing figures, Yi Yan turned his head and looked in another direction. It was the direction that Mister Shui Jing had gone.
"Tie Xue, you guys go first. I'll catch up later," Yi Yan said.
"Yes," Tie Xue immediately replied.
Because of Yi Yan's body, he definitely wasn't fast enough.
In a valley.
Zhong Shan, Qian You, Ah Da, and Ah Er stood quietly. Not far from them, there was the corpse of a man in martial attire.
At this moment, the four of them didn't look good.
"Mister, what's going on? Why are there soldiers here? If I hadn't acted quickly just now, we would have been completely exposed, "Ah Da said with a look of surprise.
Princess Qian You's face was gloomy. Ah Er stood at the side silently.
"Gu Lin and the others didn't light the fire. These are the soldiers from the city at twelve o 'clock," Zhong Shan said with a frown.
"Why didn't they light the fire? That Gu Lin. "Princess Qian You's face was full of anger.
"There's nothing we can do if they didn't light the fire. Princess, you should hurry and break out of the encirclement. At this time, Yi Yan will definitely send experts after us. They'll definitely be Ultimate Emperor Realm experts. As they fly, they'll spread out their divine sense. They'll definitely discover us. You should hurry and leave. Otherwise, they'll definitely catch up, "Zhong Shan said with a frown.
"Leave? Then what will you do? "Princess Qian You stared at Zhong Shan.
"I'll find a miasma forest and use my flag formation. Their divine sense won't be able to discover me. Once they retreat, I'll come out and find you," Zhong Shan immediately said.
Princess Qian You stared at Zhong Shan for a while and said, "No, there aren't many obstructions in this area. What if the soldiers enter the forest to search?"
"These soldiers won't make things difficult for me." Zhong Shan shook his head.
Princess Qian You also believed that these soldiers wouldn't make things difficult for Zhong Shan. However, how could she allow these soldiers to capture Zhong Shan and deliver him to Yi Yan? Although Zhong Shan wouldn't be in any danger, he wouldn't be hers anymore.
"Mister, don't say anymore. I won't abandon you." Princess Qian You shook her head.
Zhong Shan naturally knew what Princess Qian You was planning. He sighed with a smile and said, "Alright, then let's disguise ourselves again."
