Chapter 706, Touching Intelligence

Translator: Silavin

 

This was the second day since escaping from River Forest City.

 

Qin Yichen and his companions were fortunate. Within River Forest City, Lin Mu had not yet completed his preparations, which allowed them to escape by sheer luck.

 

Over the past day and more, the three could only flee through the jungle, not daring to stop for even a moment.

 

*Huff… huff…*

 

Qin Yichen gasped for breath, looking at Long Qingyao and Liu Yun beside him, who appeared equally exhausted. He decided it was time to stop and rest.

 

“Ah! Thank Heavens, we can finally lie down for a bit!” Liu Yun sprawled on the ground in a spread-eagle position, shouting. However, when Qin Yichen’s gaze swept over him, he wisely shut his mouth.

 

As the Young Pavilion Master of Rainbow Light Pavilion, he could never have imagined that this would be something that could make him feel happiness.

 

Moreover, even he himself could not understand why he had become so obedient to someone at the Martial King realm.

 

“Are we going to keep running like this forever?” After resting briefly, Liu Yun sat up and asked Qin Yichen, who was leaning against a tree trunk not far away.

 

Qin Yichen withdrew his gaze and glanced at him indifferently without speaking.

 

Who would want to keep running forever!

 

However, outside now, and even in the cities they might possibly reach, Liu Mu had certainly already laid down an inescapable net.

 

“Let’s go to Sliced Mountain City. I know the Master of a branch there. His Son and I are close Brothers. They definitely couldn’t be bought off by Liu Mu!” After a long while, Liu Yun suggested again.

 

“Idiot!” Qin Yichen still rebuked him.

 

This was no longer about whether those people would be bought off by Liu Mu.

 

If Liu Yun could think of it, so naturally Liu Mu could think of it too.

 

If his guess was not wrong, the Master of the Sliced Mountain City’s branch had either already been bought off, or was already dead!

 

“I refuse to believe that Liu Mu can buy off everyone!” Liu Yun became angry, somewhat grinding his teeth.

 

“Mm?” His careless remark actually reminded Qin Yichen.

 

[That’s right. Liu Mu can’t possibly buy off everyone!]

 

“In this region, are there any cities occupied by Forces hostile to your Rainbow Light Pavilion?”

 

“What!?” Liu Yun seemed not to understand at once. However, when he saw Qin Yichen’s serious expression, he still said, “Open Mysteries City!”

 

Open Mysteries City was a city belonging to the Gathering Space Tower, a Force that had always been hostile to Rainbow Light Pavilion.

 

Gathering Space Tower was a Force of the same rank as Rainbow Light Pavilion.

 

The grievances between Gathering Space Tower and Rainbow Light Pavilion had continued for countless years. The two great Forces had clashed many times, with countless deaths.

 

It could be said that the enmity between Rainbow Light Pavilion and Gathering Space Tower had reached a point where it was absolutely impossible to resolve.

 

“Let’s go to Open Mysteries City!” Qin Yichen dropped down from the tree trunk.

 

“Go to Open Mysteries City!?” Liu Yun was stunned at first, then immediately shook his head vigorously. “No, I’m not going!”

 

[Is he joking? I am the Young Pavilion Master of Rainbow Light Pavilion. Going to Open Mysteries City, what difference would that be from seeking death?]

 

However, Qin Yichen did not bother with him at all. He called out to Long Qingyao, and the two began to move swiftly.

 

“Qingyao, Princess Qingyao… Hey, are you really going to leave me alone here?”

 

“Bastard, I’m the Young Pavilion Master of Rainbow Light Pavilion! How can you treat me like this!”

 

“Argh! Wait for me!”

 

After venting his complaints, Liu Yun reluctantly followed behind them.

 

Liu Yun felt that he had completely lost face in front of Long Qingyao.

 

[How pitiful of me. As the Young Pavilion Master of Rainbow Light Pavilion, I am actually being hunted by my own people! This is utterly humiliating!]

 

“Qingyao, you don’t think this guy is taking us to Open Mysteries City to hand me over to the Gathering Space Tower, do you?” He came to Long Qingyao’s side and asked in a lowered voice.

 

Immediately, Long Qingyao gave him a look that said, ‘are you an idiot?’ However, seeing that he genuinely could not figure it out, she reminded him, “Who do you think absolutely cannot be bought off by Liu Mu?”

 

“Can’t be bought off by Liu Mu?” Liu Yun’s eyes gradually brightened. He slapped his hand. “That’s right! The Gathering Space Tower and my Rainbow Light Pavilion are like fire and water. How could they possibly be bought off by Liu Mu?!”

 

Seeing his delighted expression, both Qin Yichen and Long Qingyao looked at him with sympathetic gazes.

 

[His intelligence is… haa…]

 

Qin Yichen shook his head even more.

 

Letting someone like this be their Pavilion Master, they would probably be swallowed up by the Gathering Space Tower quite quickly, won’t they?

 

After reaching consensus, the three swiftly infiltrated toward Open Mysteries City.

 

Sure enough, after approaching the vicinity of Open Mysteries City, they no longer saw anyone wearing Rainbow Light Pavilion attire.

 

*Thump!*

 

When nearing Open Mysteries City, Qin Yichen suddenly and without warning punched Liu Yun’s left eye. Just as he was about to rage and retaliate, Qin Yichen tossed him a pinecone. “Keep it in your mouth!”

 

Before long, the Young Pavilion Master of Rainbow Light Pavilion had transformed into a scruffy man with a black eye and severely deformed face.

 

This was the simplest and most effective disguise.

 

After Liu Yun realized this, he suppressed his anger somewhat.

 

However, when he saw Qin Yichen somehow produce a purple fruit, squeeze out the juice, and casually rub it on Long Qingyao’s face a few times to complete her disguise, he immediately flew into a rage.

 

As a result, in his fury, he bit through the pinecone in his mouth, and his mouth was full of wood shavings.

 

“If you don’t want to die in Open Mysteries City, go find one yourself and keep it in your mouth!” Qin Yichen glanced at him indifferently, his face full of disdain.

 

Young Pavilion Master Liu was on the verge of tears!

 

At the same time, he wondered why Qin Yichen could face him so calmly. This fellow who was only at the Martial King Realm exuded strangeness from every pore.

 

From this journey, they had barely encountered any pursuers at all, which showed Qin Yichen’s skills.

 

Liu Yun did not understand how Qin Yichen managed to do it.

 

“Enter the city!” After a slight disguise, three people dressed as mercenaries appeared on the main road.

 

All three bore injuries, clearly having encountered some incident.

 

Such mercenaries appeared every day.

 

After all, mercenaries were people who lived on the edge of another’s blade.

 

Therefore, the three of them did not attract anyone’s attention.

 

And Qin Yichen’s disguise this time was also quite particular.

 

He had not changed the three people’s appearances.

 

Because disguises could still potentially be seen through. Once questioned carefully, Liu Yun’s identity definitely could not be concealed.

 

Therefore, he only disguised the three as injured.

 

Especially Liu Yun, with the black eye on his face and deformed features, even if the Rainbow Light Pavilion Master stood before him now, he probably could not recognize him.

 

As expected, the guards at the city gate merely glanced at the three of them briefly before letting them enter the city.

 

Injured mercenaries coming to the city to purchase Pills. In everyone’s eyes, this was an utterly normal occurrence.

 

And thus, Qin Yichen’s group of three infiltrated Open Mysteries City!
