According to the plan, after killing Aiman, Lin Lichuan and Meng Xiaotong were going to leave Taiyang City immediately and rush to the next destination, so at this time, the direction of the two of them flying was to Huangpo City.

"Something isn't right, these people are so quick to react!"

During the flight, Meng Xiaotong suddenly gritted his teeth and whispered.

Lin Lichuan nodded solemnly.

Indeed, even if it is the period of martial law in the war, the people of the Thousand Courtyards are too quick to react, and it has not been more than a minute since Emman was found dead, and those extraordinary powerhouses have actually rushed to the office building, and there are not one or two, but as many as eight or nine.

It's as if they were there.

Lin Lichuan and Meng Xiaotong were not stupid, and after only thinking about it slightly, they understood that this was a trap, and the people of the Thousand Courtyards obviously knew that they were going to be unfavorable to Aiman, so they sent many strong people to lurk in the office building early, just waiting for them to make a move and capture them in one fell swoop.

For a moment, the two of them couldn't help but look a little gloomy.

Meng Xiaotong was even more secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, Lin Lichuan chose to assassinate Aiman in this way tonight, otherwise if he really sniped on the street or infiltrated the office building, he was afraid that he would fall into the ambush of the Thousand Courtyards.

A knight rank and seven or eight gold ranks, it is estimated that most of the high-end extraordinary combat power in Taiyang City has gathered there, once they are under siege, there is no possibility for the two of them to get out.

"But...... How did Qianyuan know about our actions?" Meng Xiaotong frowned, as if he had thought of something, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Could it be that Wang Li betrayed us?"

"Probably not. ”

Lin Lichuan shook his head.

"If Wang Li is a traitor, then Qianyuan will do it when we arrive in Taiyang City, and there is no need to wait until today. ”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to think about this, you have to find a way to get rid of the people chasing behind." ”

Meng Xiaotong's expression froze when he heard this, feeling the terrifying momentum that was gradually approaching behind, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart.

Although both she and Lin Lichuan have the ability to fly, their speed is obviously not as good as the knight-level powerhouses chasing behind them, and if they continue to escape like this, it is only a matter of time before they are caught up.

A wisp of despair gradually surged into Meng Xiaotong's heart.

Lin Lichuan pursed his lips, thoughts flew in his mind, and he quickly thought of a way to get out.

Suddenly, a sparkling light flashed in the corner of his eye, and when he turned his head, a spacious river jumped into view.

After being slightly stunned, Lin Lichuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had an idea.

Without hesitation, he immediately said to Meng Xiaotong in a very fast tone: "Put away the wings, I have a way." ”

Meng Xiaotong was stunned, and quickly reacted, and quickly collected the blood wings according to his words, and his delicate body sank slightly, and he was about to fall down, but he saw Lin Lichuan lightning probing his hand, grabbed her thin waist, and held her in his arms.

The girl's face flushed slightly, but she didn't resist, just looked at him in surprise.

Time was pressing, Lin Lichuan didn't explain much, and with a flip of his wrist, there was already a strange ball the size of an egg in his palm, which was the miniature spirit bead core that he had exchanged from the store.

Immediately, I saw that his figure turned, and he had already taken Meng Xiaotong to swoop down like a star and a moon falling obliquely, and the target was the river not far away.

At the moment when the two of them were about to collide with the lake, Lin Lichuan's figure slowed down suddenly, and a very faint light mask appeared out of thin air around his body, which fell into the lake like a pearl, causing ripples, and disappeared into invisibility after a short time.

Silence returned to the surroundings.

More than twenty seconds later, a figure swept like a meteor, stopped in the sky above the woods not far from the river, and slowly looked around.

By the moonlight, it was clear that it was a man of about forty years old, with a full beard and a rough appearance, with sharp eyes and a palpitating sense of oppression exuding from his body.

He looked around suspiciously for a moment, frowned slightly, followed by a concentrated feeling, and continued to chase forward.

However, after two or three minutes, the man returned again, searched carefully in the same place, and even dived into the river several times to investigate, but he never found a human figure, let alone felt any breath.

"It's strange, the aura of those two people is obviously in this direction. ”

Frowning and pondering for a while, the man finally had to change directions and continue to search, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the night sky.

In the silt at the bottom of the river, in the spherical spiritual pressure shield.

Feeling the aura of the knight of the Thousand Courtyards gradually disappearing, Lin Lichuan and Meng Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he relaxed, the curiosity in Meng Xiaotong's heart immediately prevailed, and his eyes shone as he looked at the bead in Lin Lichuan's hand that emitted a hazy shimmer.

"What is this?"

"A small prop. Lin Lichuan replied casually, his eyes fell on the protective shield around him, and he was secretly glad in his heart.

Fortunately, the spiritual pressure did not disappoint him, even if he was a knight-level powerhouse, he could not feel the energy breath of the spiritual pressure, in other words, as long as he hid in this spiritual pressure shield, the people of the Thousand Courtyards could not rely on the breath to lock their position.

"It's kind of a temporary escape. ”

Lin Lichuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he continued to inject spiritual pressure into the miniaturized spirit bead core to maintain the existence of the protective shield.

Unlike on the ground, because of the water pressure and the weight of the silt, it takes more spiritual pressure to maintain the spiritual pressure shield, and even with his current spiritual pressure level, it can't support it for too long.

Meng Xiaotong seemed to sense something from Lin Lichuan's demeanor, his mouth closed, and he fell silent.

In the following time, four or five groups of figures passed by the nearby ground and the sky one after another, all of them were a team composed of transcendents, and there was no lack of the aura of gold-level powerhouses in the team.

In the middle, because of the problem that oxygen was on the verge of running out, Lin Lichuan had to sneak out of the river several times to update the air in the protective shield.

After more than two hours, the neighborhood gradually fell silent.

Meng Xiaotong turned his head to look at Lin Lichuan and asked in a low voice, "What should we do next?"

"Are you going back to the White Crown Province?"

Since Qianyuan knew about Yege's assassination plan, it meant that this mission had failed, and if it continued, not only would it not be able to successfully complete the mission, but it would also explain itself here, so it had to give up.

Fortunately, the source of the mission failure is not on them, and it is not on their heads that they are blamed, but it is very rare that they can kill one of the mission objectives even though the plan of action has been leaked.

However, Lin Lichuan only thought for a few seconds, then shook his head and vetoed Meng Xiaotong's suggestion.

"I'm afraid not. ”

"Why?" Meng Xiaotong was slightly stunned.

"Qianyuan must also have expected that we would want to return to Baiguan Province, at this time, most of them have already laid a net outside Taiyang City, just waiting for us to turn back, if we do this, I am afraid that we will run headlong into the enemy's encirclement network. ”

Meng Xiaotong was suddenly depressed when she heard this, and said with a frowning face: "Then what should we do, stay at the bottom of the lake until the wind passes?"

"It's a good idea, but unfortunately I can't have the energy to support that time, and food and water are also a problem, unless you don't mind drinking lake water and sashimi. ”

The corners of Lin Lichuan's mouth curled slightly, he made a joke, and then his face turned pale, and he muttered, "Since we can't go back, then let's continue to move forward." ”

"Go forward, go to Huangpo City?" Meng Xiaotong was stunned, revealing a stunned expression.

"That's right. Lin Lichuan glanced at Meng Xiaotong, "Even you are surprised, the people of the Thousand Courtyards would not have expected that not only did we not wait for the opportunity to escape from the occupied territory, but also buried our heads in the depths. ”

"Thinking about the worst, even if Qianyuan thinks of this, the manpower arranged in the front will definitely be far less than in the rear, whether it is hiding or escaping, it is easier than retreating. ”

Meng Xiaotong was stunned, and then thought about it, it seemed very dangerous to move forward, but after thinking about it, it was the most suitable way to survive the current crisis.

While she was thinking about it, Lin Lichuan had already taken out a map from his backpack, but it was the map of the entire territory of the White Crown Federation that he had taken from Wang Li.

"This is the city of Taiyang, and this is the river where we are hiding now. ”

Lin Lichuan pointed to the sign on the map that represented Taiyang City, and then moved his finger to the narrow river next to it.

Meng Xiaotong looked at it and found that the river was unexpectedly quite long, almost thousands of kilometers, passing through six cities, including Taiyang City and Huangpo City, and turning a corner halfway to form a 'several' character, and at the other end was a city called Liaogao City.

Like the city of Taiyang, Liaogao also borders the province of Baiguan and is one of the frontlines of this war.

Seeing this, Meng Xiaotong suddenly realized that he had already guessed Lin Lichuan's plan.

"You mean, let's go along the river, then go to Liaogao City, and from there turn back to Baiguan Province?"

"From the bottom of the river, to be exact. ”

Lin Lichuan pointed to the spiritual pressure shield above his head, there is a breath shielding effect of the protective shield, as long as you are careful, you will not be discovered by the people of the Thousand Courtyards.

The enemy may not have thought that they would go from the bottom of the river, and even if someone came down to investigate, they could dive to the bottom of the mud to hide their bodies as they had done before, and wait for the explorers to leave before continuing on their way.

The only drawback is that the speed of the journey is not too fast, after all, his spiritual pressure cannot be supported all the time, and he must rest and recover halfway.

"Although Liaogao City is also a front-line city, as long as there are no transcendents chasing us, it will not be difficult to return to Baiguan Province from there. ”

"Indeed, this is a good way!" Meng Xiaotong's eyes gradually lit up, and his expression became reactive.

"In addition, the river will also pass through Huangpo City on the way, so maybe we can stop there for a while. Lin Lichuan followed and said.

As soon as these words came out, Meng Xiaotong was suddenly startled, and exclaimed, "You won't still think about assassinating Zhou Guanghuan, right?"

"Kill or not, Zhou Guanghuan said otherwise. ”

Lin Lichuan pursed his lips, his eyes became darker and deeper in the dim protective shield, although they couldn't make waves, they seemed to turn into two bottomless black tans that could devour all light.

"Don't you want to know who betrayed us and put us in such a near-fatal situation?"

"Zhou Guanghuan, as the supreme commander of the front line in Taiyang City, he must know the source of the intelligence!"
