"Chasing what? There's no trace or scent of him left, how can we chase?" Princess Qingyan replied irritably.
The surrounding Han Clan mbers hung their heads, saying nothing.
After all, Princess Qingyan's status is now exalted, and they can't afford to offend her.
The fault wasn't with these Han Clan mbers, and after venting her anger, Princess Qingyan returned to the place where she discovered Fang Ri Tu, beginning the attempt to capture him.
But Fang Ri Tu had already traveled far, making all her efforts futile.
Nevertheless, she did obtain so useful information; at least she knew these holes in the ground might have been dug by Fang Ri Tu.
With this clue in hand, everything beca easier; as long as they sealed every entrance, cutting off Fang Ri Tu's retreat, they could catch him.
No ti to waste, they imdiately set to work.
After two days, they discovered that the underground network of Fang Ri Tu's burrows was extrely vast, stretching for kiloters or even further.
Moreover, Fang Ri Tu could dig new tunnels and settle in other places.
The opponent could move, while they were stationed here, clearly ineffective.
The caves weren't filled yet, and the day to leave was approaching.
Various cultivators didn't want to waste ti here any longer, and started to separate from Princess Qingyan, seeking treasures and Fang Ri Tu on their own.
Princess Qingyan was just a "Holy Maiden," not yet elevated to the Han Clan's prestige, so she lacked the authority to command these people.
Without enough manpower, capturing Fang Ri Tu beca exceedingly difficult for her.
For now, she had to rely on her luck nearby.
...
On the other side, Lin Yifan, who had successfully escaped, spent the last two days searching for Fang Ri Tu around the area.
Despite being quite close to Princess Qingyan's group, he chose to risk it, as danger and opportunity coexisted.
Unfortunately, he didn't find Fang Ri Tu, wasting two days of effort.
Now that Princess Qingyan's group began aimlessly searching for Fang Ri Tu, the area he was in beca extrely unsafe, forcing him to search in the distance.
A day later, by a frozen lake, in the surrounding snowy forest, he discovered traces of Fang Ri Tu.
Following these traces, he quickly tracked down the large white rabbit.
At this mont, Fang Ri Tu was munching on frost grass, chewing audibly, enjoying it imnsely.
Fang Ri Tu was picky, as he ate frost grass, rare herbs used for curing serious illnesses, casually devoured by him.
He couldn't afford to keep such a rabbit, better to kill it.
So, he secretly took out the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, preparing to surprise and attack.
However, as soon as the lightning was released, Fang Ri Tu was alerted. The next mont, Fang Ri Tu burst out, fleeing swiftly.
Lin Yifan pursued aggressively, not giving Fang Ri Tu any chance to escape.
Seeing Fang Ri Tu sprinting toward a burrow, he quickly unleashed lightning, destroying the burrow.
This was a new burrow, and there were no other burrows nearby. Now, digging one was too late—the consequence of being far from "ho," deeply regretted by Fang Ri Tu.
With no escape route, it chose to flee from the forest, intending to leverage Lin Yifan's attack to jump into the lake for safety.
Lin Yifan didn't realize this consequence, so he chased out, continuously unleashing lightning, striking Fang Ri Tu.
"Boom!"
Not long after, cracks appeared on the frozen lake surface.
After the ninth bolt of lightning, the frozen lake surface suddenly collapsed, revealing a hole.
Seeing this opportunity, Fang Ri Tu eagerly jumped into the hole.
The mont before, Lin Yifan felt sothing was wrong; the next mont, he was overjoyed.
Water conducts electricity; he could continue releasing lightning, electrocuting the cunning Fang Ri Tu subrged in the icy lake water.
"Splash!"
The large white rabbit fearlessly jumped into the icy lake water.
Seeing the opportunity, Lin Yifan imdiately unleashed a series of powerful lightning bolts, continuously striking the lake.
"Sizzle!"
Monts after jumping in, Fang Ri Tu suddenly felt surrounded by lightning, instinctively startled.
With no escape, it tried its best to resist.
But in the Great Immortal Second Realm, it was no match for lightning of the Great Immortal Three Realms; tough as it was, it couldn't resist for long.
Thus, a minute later, it died tragically.
After confirming enough ti for the lightning strike, Lin Yifan put away the Heavenly Thunder Pearl and jumped into the lake to find Fang Ri Tu's body.
Fang Ri Tu's body was slowly sinking to the lake bottom; seeing this, he quickly swam over to grab it.
After confirmation, he stored it in the Immortal Ring and swam toward the surface.
"Splash!"
The next mont, he surfaced, ready to leave.
However, at that mont, Princess Qingyan arrived with a large group.
Having heard the sound of the lightning earlier, they concluded Lin Yifan was here and most likely targeting Fang Ri Tu, so they rushed over.
Now they saw it was true.
Seeing Princess Qingyan, Lin Yifan was startled and imdiately dove into the lake, preparing to use the Earth Escape Technique to leave.
Once Princess Qingyan confird the man was Lin Yifan, she fearlessly dived down, plunging into the lake to pursue him.
Other high-realm cultivators closely followed, while lower-realm cultivators hovered above the frozen lake, observing the surrounding situation.
If they spotted Lin Yifan, they'd report imdiately to Princess Qingyan.
The clear lake water was originally easy to see the people in the lake. But the massive ice layer blocked much sunlight, making the lake bottom relatively dim.
Taking advantage of this, Lin Yifan swiftly took out a Spiritual Pearl, set up an Array, and exercised the Earth Escape Technique to leave.
"Whoosh!"
The next mont, he left the lake.
And Princess Qingyan, following the sensed aura here, found Lin Yifan's traces had already disappeared.
After swimming around, she neither saw Lin Yifan's figure nor sensed his aura, she concluded that Lin Yifan had already left the lake.
Yet, the ice on the surface wasn't pierced, leaving only one possibility: Lin Yifan employed a mysterious escape spell.
During idle monts these days, she checked the Ice Empress's records, discovering a high-world escape manual called "Qin Nine Escapes."
Whether Lin Yifan used one of its escape techniques was unknown; she needed to observe further.
Fang Ri Tu might have been killed by Lin Yifan, and with less than a day until exiting the hunting grounds, she hurried to the exit, preparing everything to block Lin Yifan's escape.
Lin Yifan, having successfully escaped, calculated ti, realizing there was little ti left until departure.
Now known, he couldn't leave through the exit, as that would be a trap.
He had to find another way out, leaving the hunting grounds.
