Chapter 1986 445: Large-Scale Manhunt

While unleashing their cultivation power to protect themselves, the two began heading deep into the mountains to search for traces of the Winged Fire Snake.

Before long, they seemed to have encountered the Fierce Fire Leopards, and were heavily surrounded.

The imposing aura, the danger, sent chills down Lei Ming's spine.

However, he was here for training, and this encounter was exactly to his taste.

"Little brother, it's up to you now."

The cultivation realm of these Fierce Fire Leopards was not high, Lin Yifan could take care of them without needing to intervene. But doing so would be boring, so he left it to Lei Ming to handle, as it would also help Lei Ming gain combat experience.

Lei Ming was eager for the opportunity, so he began to fight furiously with the group of Fierce Fire Leopards.

The process went smoothly, but the cries, roars, and screams of the Fierce Fire Leopards drew attention.

Anyway, the Heavenly Fire Kingdom Guards patrolling at the foot of the mountain had noticed the commotion and had already sent people up. If they didn't leave in time, they might be caught red-handed.

Lin Yifan's instinct was rather sharp, and upon learning that someone was flying up from the foot of the mountain, he immediately dragged Lei Ming away.

By the time the Heavenly Fire Kingdom Guards arrived at the scene, they had vanished without a trace.

Seeing so many freshly dead Fierce Fire Leopards' corpses on the ground, the guards suspected that someone had infiltrated the Fiery Mountain Range.

At this critical juncture, anyone infiltrating would certainly be after the Winged Fire Snake, so they needed to notify Princess Fire Lotus searching for the Winged Fire Snake in the deep mountains and report this matter up for the higher-ups to deliberate and decide.

Lei Ming, who narrowly escaped the ordeal, took a deep breath.

If Brother Lin hadn't pulled him away, he wouldn't have realized soldiers had come up.

A lesson learned the hard way, they dared not act so rashly when encountering Spirit Beasts in the future.

The Fiery Mountain Range was vast, perhaps taking more than ten days to traverse, and searching for a snake in such a large region, especially one with a high capability for concealment, was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.

Why say it has high concealment ability?

Because the skin of the Winged Fire Snake bears resemblance to the soil and vegetation of the Fiery Mountain Range, meaning even if it's nearby, you might not be able to see it.

Having searched all night to no avail, Lin Yifan and Lei Ming decided to take a rest.

During the day, the Fiery Mountain Range was even hotter, already engulfed in flames and further scorched by the blazing sun, making it exceedingly hot. In short, resting Lin Yifan and Lei Ming had to expend more cultivation power to resist the external heat.

Elsewhere, the news that someone had intruded into the Fiery Mountain Range last night had already reached Princess Fire Lotus.

Someone who could silently and stealthily infiltrate the Fiery Mountain Range must be a master.

This mysterious person brought to mind a suspect in her head.

The official wasn't the first to know about the appearance of the Winged Fire Snake in the Fiery Mountain Range, rather it was the Loose Cultivators who first knew about it.

These Loose Cultivators had already been driven away, hence the news of the Winged Fire Snake's appearance in the Fiery Mountain Range would inevitably spread.

Once it spreads, she believes that fellow should know.

With his character, knowing there was a Constellation Beast here, he would definitely come.

To be honest, she had been waiting for this news these days, and now she finally received it.

By her count, it had been almost a year since she last saw that fellow, and during this time, she missed him greatly.

Now that her strength has improved, she wants to see who's stronger when they meet again, him or her.

In her heart, finding that fellow is more important than finding the Winged Fire Snake, so she dispatched numerous soldiers for a widespread search and capture of those who infiltrated the Fiery Mountain Range.

Resting Lin Yifan and Lei Ming suddenly felt something wasn't right.

They saw many Heavenly Fire Kingdom soldiers flying back and forth in the sky, and heard sounds of soldiers searching in the distance.

They felt that this was directed at them.

The battle last night exposed them.

"Oh no, we really shouldn't have acted," Lei Ming deeply blamed himself.

If he messed up Brother Lin's opportunity, he would feel extremely guilty.

"What's the point of saying this nonsense now? Let's hurry and head deeper into the Fiery Mountain Range," Lin Yifan urged.

The search and capture was encircling from the periphery; only by heading deeper into the mountains would they be safe.

The widespread search created unrest among the people.

Those who sneaked in weren't just Lin Yifan and Lei Ming; the others who discovered the situation also felt it was directed at them and quickened their pace towards one spot.

This sudden panic caused those who sneakily came together to bump into each other.

Unfortunately, Lin Yifan bumped into two advanced immortal realm experts, extraordinarily strong.

Initially, they thought the others were Heavenly Fire Kingdom Guards; after careful observation and realizing they weren't, they felt slightly at ease.

The same went for the two advanced immortal realm experts.

The two petty thieves knew about each other now, leaving only two choices: either fight among themselves and expose their tracks or cooperate for mutual benefit and ignore each other.

The two advanced immortal realm experts thought they could easily deal with Lin Yifan and Lei Ming, these two youngsters, so they chose to turn against them instead of cooperating.

Faced with this situation, Lin Yifan, of course, couldn't endure, thus he took out the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword and deployed the Shadow-light Sword Technique, and stealthily eliminated the two.

Actually, using the Heavenly Thunder Pearl would have been quicker, but its attack sound is loud, easily revealing their position, so it wasn't used.

The two advanced great immortal realm experts thought they could easily kill Lin Yifan and Lei Ming, yet were swiftly eliminated by Lin Yifan, not knowing how they died even at the end.

"This..."

Lei Ming stared blankly at the scene, so scared he couldn't utter a word.

Lin Yifan being able to easily take out the mountain bandit king of the great immortal first realm had already amazed him; now being able to effortlessly eliminate advanced great immortal realm experts, it shook him to a point where words failed him.

Nearly a year without seeing, Brother Lin's strength had advanced to an unimaginable level, terrifyingly so.

To think this was achieved in less than a year, how many geniuses or heroic figures could accomplish this?

Honestly, at this moment, he profoundly admired Brother Lin, wholly in awe.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and move!"

Putting away the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword, Lin Yifan hurried on his way, ignoring Lei Ming.

Lei Ming, startled, came to his senses and immediately followed.

He had a premonition that by following behind Brother Lin, he'd certainly be rewarded.

After a day's journey, they missed many places, but in the longer view, it was a loss nonetheless.

However, in comparison to the Constellation Pearl, everything was worth it.

They didn't believe that being caught by the Heavenly Fire Kingdom Guards meant certain death, because with Lei Ming's identity and Lin Yifan's relationship with Princess Fire Lotus, the Heavenly Fire Kingdom Guards were unlikely to kill them, at most they'd chase them away or lock them up.

They missed plenty of places, but they were just inconsequential spots.
