Next, you'll witness an ability to escape beyond imagination

The surging traffic rushed forward, and standing on top of the van, Lin Yu watched the figures of "Chancellor" and "Cold Cicada" getting further and further away from him.

Although "Cold Cicada" is outside the Prison Mountain Realm and shouldn't be considered an opponent he can't handle, Lin Yu still doesn't really want to fight him.

Because this guy's abilities are really troublesome.

Moreover, Lin Yu really didn't have much time to fight Cold Cicada —he had many other things to do.

Not to mention...

Cold Cicada even called for someone to come out!

This "Chancellor" Lin Yu was indeed a first-time meeting, but someone who could be sent by the "Emperor" to deal with him must be no ordinary person.

The title "Chancellor" alone is enough to tell the story!

Although it sounds like a clerical job and he does look like a "civil official," Lin Yu doesn't think the "Chancellor" is incompetent.

Therefore, although Lin Yu took the initiative to approach "Cold Cicada", he did not intend to actively seek battle.

After making contact, what Lin Yu did was...

Evacuation and escape!

Certainly...

Standing on the roof of the car, Lin Yu didn't actually intend to shake off the two of them all at once.

After all, if Lin Yu really intended to make it impossible for the two of them to catch up with him or find him, he had many ways to do so.

He has many ways to move faster than this Refrigerated Box Truck.

Lin Yu was on the roof of the car because he didn't want to confront Cold Cicada and the Chancellor directly, nor did he want the two of them to... lose track of him.

As Lin Yu had predicted, Cold Cicada and the Chancellor quickly caught up.

The two figures also appeared at the rear of the truck's roof.

"Director, are you that scared?"

Cold Cicada asked in surprise, and Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes, of course I'm scared when you bring the core members of 'Copper Furnace' with you."

"Even you and I might not be able to defeat him... let alone with the addition of a 'Chancellor'?"

Lin Yu spoke earnestly, Chancellor bowed respectfully.

"But... 'running away' might not be a good option either."

"Because, even you might not be able to escape."

Lin Yu nodded again.

"Yes, but... I want to try."

With that, Lin Yu turned around, jumped off the top of the truck, and then onto the tops of other Vehicles.

Thump!

Lin Yu landed steadily on the roof of a Business Car, but the Chancellor and Cold Cicada were already on guard against Lin Yu trying to run away again, so they immediately followed.

The Cold Cicada floated up lightly, lifted by the golden butterfly shadow, like a fallen leaf carried by the wind and then drifting down.

The Chancellor took Square-Step Walk forward, seemingly just one step, but in reality, it was a single step that brought him to his desired landing point, onto the new roof of the carriage.

Lin Yu jumped again and landed on top of another car.

The rushing traffic was like a surging river, and Lin Yu was like an animal leaping from log to log floating in the River.

Behind him, Cold Cicada and the Chancellor followed closely, making the scene look like a mini- Game like Temple Run or Subway Surfers.

The three chased each other through the traffic, continuing their conversation nonetheless.

"What's the point of you running away like this? Delaying things like this... is completely pointless."

"Continuing to drag this out will only be disadvantageous for you—after all, time will come, and once the 'Emperor' achieves victory, you'll still be doomed."

"But if you stop now and fight us to the death, you might still have a chance to survive!"

The sound of Cold Cicada, like a ghost, kept ringing in Lin Yu's ears.

"You're really being kind, thank you for your suggestion," Lin Yu said. "Are you really that willing to kill me yourself? What if I really fight you to the death? Aren't you afraid... I'll really kill you?"

Cold Cicada whispered, "I'm prepared to take this risk—just as you said, a murderer must be prepared to be killed as well."

"While it wouldn't be bad to let the 'Emperor' take care of you... killing you with my own hands would greatly benefit my mental state."

Lin Yu commented, "That's really extreme, but... I still won't fight you. After all, dragging it out might actually be in my favor—the 'Emperor' might not necessarily win."

"Rather, I'm curious why you think dragging things out is disadvantageous to me—after all, the Emperor's arrival is limited in time, and the World Will, even the will of the 'Death game,' won't allow chaos to exist in this world for too long."

"Ultimately, things will return to normal here... And when that time comes, the people of 'Order' will naturally be able to protect me, and maybe even catch you."

Lin Yu stated.

The Chancellor chimed in, "Indeed, His Majesty's stay in this realm is limited, and he cannot remain here for an extended period..."

"But he will not fail."

"His Majesty's victory was inevitable—as long as he took action, victory was certain."

"Your continued running away and stalling for time will not change the outcome in the slightest."

The Chancellor said with certainty.

Lin Yu chuckled easily, "It seems neither of us can convince the other... In that case, let's get back to the point."

As he spoke, Lin Yu slightly increased his speed, instantly leaving the two of them some distance behind.

The Chancellor snorted coldly, preparing to step forward and also accelerate.

But "Cold Cicada" frowned.

Having already "pursued" Lin Yu once in the Prison Mountain Realm, he suddenly felt a sense of unease as he watched Lin Yu accelerate.

"Wait... Chancellor," Cold Cicada said cautiously, "I suddenly feel... maybe he wants us to pursue him like this."

"We've been chasing him for a few minutes now—no matter how fast we speed up, the distance between us doesn't seem to change much."

"But he didn't completely shake us off; it was as if he was really afraid we'd lose him."

The Chancellor understood Cold Cicada's worries and unspoken meaning.

"You mean, he might have set some kind of trap or ambush?"

Cold Cicada nodded. "That's right. His 'route' choice seems more purposeful than a aimless escape—since the beginning, although our route has been a bit circuitous, it's been heading in the same direction overall."

Cold Cicada then offered a conjecture. "Could it be... that he's planning to lure us into an encirclement by the 'Order' or the 'Night Watcher'?"

Upon hearing this, the Chancellor immediately shook his head.

"No, I think traps and ambushes are possible, but 'Order' and 'The Night Watcher'... that's unlikely."

"The direction he's leading us to happens to be a location where neither 'Order' nor 'The Night Watcher' has any defenses."

"After all... right now, 'Order' is also short-handed, with almost all of its personnel concentrated in two different battlefields, and Reinforcements are also heading in those two directions."

The Chancellor analyzed the situation.

After listening to the Chancellor's words, Cold Cicada pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are you sure?"

"Rest assured, I am absolutely certain I am right," the Chancellor said confidently and firmly. "I will not be wrong in my judgment on this matter."

Cold Cicada said, "Since there's no ambush from 'Order' and 'Night Watcher,' it also means there's no 'Tier 4'... In that case, there's nothing to worry about."

"As long as no one possesses 'Tier 4' combat power, you should be virtually unmatched."

The Chancellor shook his head. "We can remove 'almost'... After all, His Majesty's Divine Kingdom hangs high above us, and I can borrow His Majesty's imperial power at any time."

"Anyone who isn't one of those 'Tier 4' is no match for me."

The Chancellor paused as he spoke.

"However, his constant running away is indeed unsettling; we shouldn't let him continue playing this Game of cat and mouse."

Chancellor spoke, a Brush Pen appeared in his hand.

He wrote ancient seal Seal Script from thin air with a few strokes of ink.

The Seal Script floated in front of the Chancellor then took out an Official Seal.

Thump!

A scarlet seal was imprinted in the lower right corner of the Seal Script, and then the text flew out, like a chain, and wrapped around Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's previously light and agile movements as he leaped and darted between Vehicles suddenly became incredibly heavy, and he crashed to the ground in the middle of the road with a "thud."

The surrounding Vehicles did not stop, and Lin Yu barely managed to roll to the side to avoid being Vehicles over.

Lin Yu had just struggled to get up from the ground when he heard the Chancellor's voice from above.

"Sinner, surrender at once!"

With these words, Lin Yu felt the Seal Script on his body grow even heavier, as if it were pressing him completely into the ground.

Lin Yu raised his head and looked at the Chancellor.

"The abilities of 'officials'? Although they seem slightly different, they seem to be essentially the same thing."

The Chancellor remained silent, but simply repeated what he had said.

"Sinner, surrender at once!"

Lin Yu stared at the Chancellor's fair face, narrowing his eyes.

However, he didn't have much time to examine it further.

Behind the Chancellor, a buzzing sound arose, and a faint, exotic fragrance permeated the air amidst the traffic.

Cold Cicada activated an open jade bottle in her hand, and wisps of pink smoke billowed out, attracting one after another of crystalline Jade Bees in the air.

These Jade Bees fluttered their wings and danced with the exotic fragrance, each one seemingly containing the vital energy no less than that of a top-tier expert in the Prison Mountain Realm.

Just sensing the strength of these Jade Bees, Lin Yu wasn't really willing to test their power.

Moreover, he is currently covered in ink stains created by the Chancellor.

So, Lin Yu looked at the two of them and sighed.

"That's a good move, Chancellor..."

"But he's still a ways off from truly capturing me."

As he spoke, the Talismans patterns hidden beneath Lin Yu's clothes lit up, and the [Talisman Earth Escape Armor] he wore close to his body emitted spiritual power that enveloped him completely.

Then...

The resistance that the seal Seal Script had initially seemed to be pressing Lin Yu into the ground had now transformed into a kind of "assistance".

It really shoved Lin Yu into the ground!
