Capítulo 1552: Chapter 11: Qimen Nine Escapes
“Damn it! It’s all your Heavenly Fire Kingdom’s fault, I want your Heavenly Fire Kingdom to pay with your lives!” The Fifth Prince of Mingyi Country was furious, accusing Princess Fire Lotus.
“Those words should be said to you, damned villain, you’re the one falsely accusing us first!” Princess Fire Lotus’s anger also flared, hating the people of Mingyi Country.
“Kill!”
The Fifth Prince of Mingyi Country couldn’t hold back any longer and ordered his men to slaughter the people of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, including Princess Fire Lotus.
Princess Fire Lotus was not to be outdone, even if she had to fight to the last, she wanted to drag the Fifth Prince of Mingyi Country down with her.
Strong cultivators of the Superior Immortal Realm from both sides were once again engaged in a great battle, with no one willing to let the other go.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince of Jin Country couldn’t bear to watch any longer and intervened, saying, “Enough! What’s the use of fighting so much? The most important thing now is to catch that brat so that we might have a chance to get the Doumu Pearl back.”
“Sounds easy, but the world is vast, where would you find him?” The Fifth Prince of Mingyi Country questioned.
“That brat used the fog to escape, thinking he can flee forever, but little does he know this forest is called the Misty Forest. The meaning of Misty Forest is that once you enter, it’s hard to find a way out. As long as we wait outside, we can catch him. The premise is that we must ambush as quickly as possible, because if that brat flies away from the sky, we won’t be able to catch him.” The Seventh Prince of Jin Country replied.
“Right! As long as we wait outside now, we are certain to catch him!”
Princess Fire Lotus readily agreed.
However, Princess Qingyan had different thoughts.
She came here just like Princess Fire Lotus once went to the Muyu Mountains, to prevent Jin Country from obtaining the Doumu Pearl.
Now, by a stroke of luck, she had achieved her mission, so why would she stay here, helping these people and courting disaster?
Yet, taking a step back, given her personal grudges, she certainly wanted Lin Yifan dead; moreover, Lin Yifan had the Bi Water Pearl with him. Capturing him might allow her to reclaim the Bi Water Pearl. Once the Bi Water Pearl is recovered, Tianze Country would have nothing to fear from other countries’ invasions.
But given her current situation, could she outcompete the other three rival groups?
The answer was clearly no.
Now, her greatest fear was that in the end, not only would she fail to get the Bi Water Pearl, but also let someone else get the Doumu Pearl.
After consideration, she felt that the national interest still had to take precedence over personal interest.
As a member of the royal family, one should think for the royal family and do something for one’s people, otherwise it’s hard to win popular support.
Although she wasn’t participating in the ambush, it didn’t mean she would give up on the Bi Water Pearl and the Doumu Pearl.
She would still be around the Misty Forest, but this time her role would be that of a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. She intended to reap the benefits without doing the work.
Could the other three rival groups not know her thoughts? Therefore, each was considering whether to let the people of Tianze Country go.
Princess Fire Lotus, now at odds with the Fifth Prince of Mingyi Country, really didn’t want to offend another person, so she dared not obstruct the people of Tianze Country from leaving.
The Fifth Prince of Mingyi Country felt the same way.
The Seventh Prince of Jin Country was even less interested in creating extra trouble, so the cultivators of Tianze Country safely left.
With things as they were, the three rival groups could only make an agreement: whoever gets the Doumu Pearl first keeps it, and continuous fighting was not to be tolerated.
With this agreement in place, the cultivators of the three countries split into three paths, surrounding the entire Misty Forest.
Of course, with their limited strength, it was impossible to completely encircle Misty Forest, so they chose to disperse and stand guard, each monitoring one area, to try and prevent Lin Yifan from sneaking away.
Meanwhile, after feeling no movement around for a long time, Lin Yifan finally emerged from the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring.
He took out the body of the Doumu Xie and tossed it outside; as the Doumu Pearl had already been extracted in the Immortal Seven-Colored Ring, the body of the Doumu Xie was no more useful, so it was better to discard it.
Now that he had the Doumu Pearl, it was time for him to leave the Misty Forest.
There were several ways to leave the Misty Forest, but barging through was no longer viable; only ascending to the sky or escaping through the ground offered a chance to leave.
He did not know the Earth Escape Technique, so leaving through the ground was impossible, therefore, using Qinggong was his only way out.
But shortly after flying out, he was surrounded by Superior Immortal Realm experts from three countries, and had no choice but to retreat back into the Misty Forest.
The Superior Immortal Realm experts from the Three Kingdoms had no way to deal with Lin Yifan, who had vanished into the Misty Forest.
Although their realm was much higher than Lin Yifan’s, they lacked the Penetrating Eye, unable to pierce through the mist drifting among the trees, and thus unable to see Lin Yifan’s traces.
With no trace to follow, what was there to pursue? What could they still chase after?
So they all left, returning to their respective posts.
The chase yielded no results, but one thing was certain: Lin Yifan was still inside the Misty Forest, and having this information was enough.
As long as they continued to stand guard, and then sent reinforcements from their respective countries, once the mist dispersed, they could enter Misty Forest and search for Lin Yifan thoroughly. By then, no matter how well Lin Yifan hid, it would be to no avail.
A calmer Lin Yifan didn’t expect this group of villains to play tricks, waiting outside like a tiger watching its prey. It seemed he couldn’t fly out directly and had to think of other methods.
But the Misty Forest was shrouded in thick fog, a slight carelessness could lead to losing one’s way. Even if he found the right direction, he might not escape, because there were heavy guards outside; any stir would alert others, leading to another round of pursuit and killing.
Unable to move in any direction, Lin Yifan was truly at a loss as to what to do at this moment.
Suddenly he recalled that the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor had a secret technique called the “Qimen Nine Escapes.”
The “Qimen Nine Escapes” was an escape technique, consisting of nine escapes: Heaven Escape, Earth Escape, Human Escape, Wind Escape, Cloud Escape, Dragon Escape, Tiger Escape, God Escape.
These nine escapes were exceedingly difficult to learn; it required gathering many Spiritual Pearls, all of which were indispensable. However, these Spiritual Pearls were very hard to find, even searching the entire World of All Things wouldn’t easily gather them all.
Now aiming to use an escape technique to flee, Lin Yifan didn’t have to learn all nine escapes, mastering just one would suffice.
However, even mastering just one escape was quite a challenge for him. Fortunately, the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor had left behind some Spiritual Pearls, allowing him to learn an escape technique without gathering many Spiritual Pearls.
The Spiritual Pearls left by the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor inclined him towards learning Earth Escape; because learning Earth Escape required collecting only two Spiritual Pearls.
These two Spiritual Pearls were the Yi Spirit Pearl and the Ji Spirit Pearl.
They were both Heavenly Stems Spirit Beads, widely found within Spirit Beasts. Once the corresponding Spirit Beast was located, one could thereby obtain these Spirit Pearls.
Many Spirit Beasts possessed Heavenly Stems Spirit Beads; however, due to different realms, their powers varied greatly.
High-realm Spirit Beasts had very powerful Heavenly Stems Spirit Beads; low-realm Spirit Beasts had much weaker Heavenly Stems Spirit Beads.
