Chapter 1756: Chapter 1776: This is Simply a Great Humiliation!_1

Lin Chen, using the Reducing Land to Inches technique, ran at a rapid pace!

When he was hovering midair to escape the battle, the first person he spotted was Weijiao, who was standing by the side of Four Seas Immortal Monarch, which gave him a scare, almost making him turn and flee right away.

But, if he fled now while the Thunder Tribulation was still happening, it would be considered as a failure of the Crossing Tribulation. Though he wouldn’t be harmed, advancing further would be nearly impossible in the future.

With gritted teeth, Lin Chen turned his back towards Weijiao and the others, and began to face the Thunder Tribulation. He hoped to slip through unnoticed, but in the middle of it all, an uncontrolled bolt of lightning made him lose his balance and inadvertently turn his face towards Weijiao.

"As soon as the promotion is over, run."

Just when Lin Chen was feeling extremely nervous, the calm voice of the Four Seas Immortal Monarch suddenly echoed in his mind.

Lin Chen felt a sense of relief!

Four Seas Immortal Monarch really was a kind soul!

It looked like she was truly going to keep her promise and let him complete his promotion.

As far as Lin Chen was concerned, that was enough!

He had escaped from the hands of immortals before, and what’s more, he was now a True Immortal himself. His Reducing Land to Inches technique was faster, and he could cover even greater distances!

Let the games begin!

With Ge Song and Weijiao chasing after him, like a rainbow piercing through the sun, they were hot on Lin Chen’s heels. However, they were always just a hair’s breadth away, unable to completely intercept Lin Chen.

Lin Chen managed to flee tens of thousands of miles until he reached a vast and misty lake.

He casually threw the Qiqiao Hall into the bottom of the lake, then continued forward, moving several hundreds of miles ahead, before ducking his head and plunging into the lake.

Lin Chen instantly pulled out the token and opened the Teleportation Gate.

The Death Mark drained him of all his life energy, and the thick lake water masked the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Teleportation Gate.

Weijiao and Ge Song came whizzing over, hovering in mid-air.

"His breath is gone!"

Weijiao scanned her surroundings, "He must be hiding at the bottom of the lake. Search! Even if we have to scrape off three feet of ground, we must find him. You go ahead!"

After a brief conversation, the two split up. Their Divine Sense extended like invisible electric waves, sweeping swiftly ahead through the lake.

Where Lin Chen was hiding was under the water, behind a mountain peak. The Teleportation Gate was also against the mountainside. Unless someone was directly above him, their Divine Sense scanning would certainly be blocked by the mountain peak.

Lin Chen didn’t dare hope he could hide forever, but all he needed was ten seconds.

Those ten seconds quickly passed, and Lin Chen stepped into the Light Door, immediately entering Qiqiao Hall.

The Light Door disappeared.

Weijiao, suspended in mid-air, seemed to sense something. She flickered her body and reappeared above the cliff, her Divine Sense scanning once again.

The water below was empty and left no traces.

Weijiao’s brows knitted together, as she expanded the scope of her Divine Sense, rapidly progressing in all directions.

Weijiao and Ge Song both conducted a thorough search within a radius of several hundred miles, but to no avail.

Furious, Weijiao and Ge Song began an indiscriminate attack on the area.

Still nothing.

Ge Song looked rather grim, "It seems he has already used some special means to escape, maybe a similar Magical Treasure to the Great Displacement Order..."

Weijiao was left seething in anger. Two Immortals had failed to capture a newly promoted True Immortal. They were humiliated as he cleanly got away!

This was an extraordinary disgrace!

"Let’s go, back to the Ten Thousand Snake Valley," she said angrily. On returning, they saw Four Seas Immortal Monarch and the Mountain Master calmly enjoying tea.

The Mountain Master, turning his head, asked with a chuckle, "Where is he? Killed?"

Weijiao gritted her teeth, her eyes fixed on Four Seas Immortal Monarch, "He escaped, Four Seas. Are you satisfied now?"

Four Seas Immortal Monarch spoke calmly, "Two Immortals, hunting a freshly promoted True Immortal, and yet he managed to escape. Did you guys purposefully let him slip away?"

Weijiao felt a burst of rage upon being blamed by Four Seas Immortal Monarch, as if she was about to vomit blood!

"If it wasn’t for your insistence on letting him finish his promotion, we could have seized the opportunity when he was resisting the Thunder Tribulation. There’s no way he could have run then. Even if he did manage to run, his path of further progress would have been cut off since he’d have to abandon the Thunder Tribulation. Now, not only has he been promoted, but he’s also managed to escape safely once again!"

The Four Seas Immortal Monarch calmly responded, "He saved my life once. I’m simply repaying the favour. Besides, I didn’t stop you from going after him. But if you guys can’t catch a newly promoted True Immortal, who else can you blame?"

Weijiao was left feeling frustrated with the Four Seas Immortal Monarch’s words. This wasn’t just mockery. It was more like she was being slapped across the face!

Weijiao clenched her teeth, her gaze falling on the Mountain Master, "He came here, and surely he will reveal your information to the Immortal Palace. You’re likely to be in trouble soon."

The Mountain Master laughed, "The problem isn’t big. Worst comes to worst, I’ll change location. If I decide to leave, do you think anyone can stop me? Besides, that kid seems smart. He promised not to reveal this place. I don’t think he will just spill it out."

Weijiao sneered, "You actually believe the words of an enemy!"

Mountain Master chuckled, "Fellow cultivator Weijiao, is there anything else you need?"

Clearly, Weijiao understood that the Mountain Master’s words were a polite way of seeing her off. Glaring at them both, she said with annoyance, "This isn’t the last you’ve seen of him. He’s a shrewd one. You’ll regret what you’ve done today!"
