Han Bao continued to ask, "Do you think you can hold them off?"

Shi Chun sighed, "If I was confident, would I need to escape like this?"

There were some truths he didn't mention. The reason he made a quick decision to flee was precisely because of the person in front of him. This was an Earth Immortal in the Great Achievement Realm invited by Mulan Jin. Knowing this person's presence and yet various forces still sent squads to pursue them, they must be confident.

Even the pursuers weren't afraid of someone as skilled as Han Bao. Four squads came at once. Facing unknown enemy strength, only a fool would try to resist recklessly. It's definitely better to avoid the danger and assess the situation first.

So not only Manxi and Mulan Jin, but even Shi Chun believed that Han Bao's recruitment by Mulan Jin had been exposed.

Han Bao said, "They're probably targeting you, no need to involve Miss Mulan. I'll take her to avoid the danger, and you don't need to look for us. You have a way to contact Miss Mulan, have her contact you when necessary."

Shi Chun was startled and asked, "Is this the intention of the Xuanji Token Master?"

Han Bao didn't confirm or deny, "Take care."

With those words, he signaled Wu Jinliang to let him out.

Shi Chun nodded slightly, only then did Wu Jinliang allow Wind Scale to reveal an opening. Wu Jinliang made a mouthing motion at Han Bao's departing figure, silently sending a greeting.

Turning back, Han Bao approached Mulan Qingqing's side. Upon entering the Wind Scale controlled by Mulan Qingqing, he suddenly made a move, restrained Mulan Qingqing, collected the Wind Scale, and quickly cast a spell to part ways.

Mulan Qingqing widened her eyes, her pupils swirling in anxious confusion, unaware of what had just transpired.

The members of the Mingshan Sect wore faces full of suspicion, looking at the Master ahead. Seeing the Master unmoved, they immediately understood there was a reason.

Only then did Wu Jinliang curse, "That Mulan scoundrel is truly worthless. For his daughter, he dragged us into this, risking our lives. When things look bad, he immediately abandons us like worn-out shoes, yet we don't dare report his daughter avoiding battle as desertion."

Though the situation isn't Mulan Jin's fault, taking such measures at this critical moment, pulling away the most cultivated among them, adds insult to injury, making everyone uncomfortable and quite furious.

No need for him to say it, Shi Chun knew he had become a discard in an instant, but he wouldn't be discouraged. Instead, he instantly focused, his thoughts quickly turned, decisively pulling out his token to contact the Command Center, boldly demanding to be informed of the status of the four pursuing teams.

He also requested the Command Center to designate personnel to track the positions and movements of the four teams, reporting to him at all times.

If Mulan Jin dares to do that, then Shi Chun dares to take advantage of Mulan Jin's influence to leverage the Command Center; if Mulan Jin has the ability to stop the Command Center from cooperating, let him try.

On the high platform of the Heavenly Court Command Center, upon hearing this report, Manxi shook his head, turning to send a message to Mulan Jin, "Shi Chun speaks boldly, even asking for someone here to monitor the situations of the four teams and report to him anytime."

These words indicated to Mulan Jin that Shi Chun wasn't qualified to use such substantial resources and relied on the Xuanji Token Master's face.

Mulan Jin, with hands folded inside his sleeves, showed no expression, heard but didn't react or instruct Manxi to deny Shi Chun's unreasonable request. He silently took this favor from Manxi.

Regarding Han Bao taking Mulan Qingqing to avoid danger, it was indeed his intention. He actually could contact his daughter, and in this situation approved of Manxi's advice for temporary avoidance, which he would've done anyway, without letting Manxi know. Han Bao acted independently, even though he appealed to Manxi for help, he didn't interfere with the rules.

Nothing would leave any traces.

Because he could make Han Bao take such risks shows he could command Han Bao, but he couldn't easily command Manxi.

He anticipated various emergencies, but not that Shi Chun and the others would immediately be hunted by top experts dispatched by several major forces upon debut, obviously targeted by several major forces' command centers, making escape impossible.

Despite his information channels, he was unaware of how Shi Chun managed to offend all sides, to the point where everyone disregarded their reputation, resorting to such underhanded tactics.

He knew the major forces shouldn't dare harm his daughter openly, but being aware of his daughter's temperament, he knew Shi Chun would fight desperately if in danger, and it wouldn't be others' fault if something happened.

No one anticipated the situation would escalate so drastically from the onset; he was forced to take this last resort, prioritizing his daughter's safety.

Within the North Beiju Team's central mirror image, Jie Yunzhao's actions were being displayed.

Commander Lan She turned to observe the glowing spots on the Mountain River Map for a while, confirming Jie Yunzhao seemed to have spared Shi Chun's group, not pursuing further, leaving him puzzled, could it be a misjudgment?

Then he signaled the mirror image to lock on the dispatched Sixty-eight team, tracking the disciples of the Proud God Palace, Wu Shuang.

They could only pinpoint the team leader, Wu Shuang, because if alerted, the Sixty-eight team wouldn't approach targets that had already fled too far. Relying solely on Wind Scale wasn't fast enough, only Wu Shuang's strength could forcibly catch up.

Unlucky were the stragglers from Shi Chun's group, overloaded Wind Scale slowed their flight so much, even they couldn't see Shi Chun's silhouette anymore. Their leader genuinely abandoned them and fled, disheartening them deeply.

With skilled pursuers catching up below, no need for combat, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.

Wu Shuang was clear-minded; this group was fleeing, and why were they still masked? There must be deception!

Therefore, he immediately captured a live target for interrogation.

After repeated questioning, it became clear this team wasn't the intended target, everyone escaped, hence no point continuing senseless pursuits.

Thus, Lan She quickly received the news, realizing they targeted the wrong group, confirming his judgment about Jie Yunzhao hadn't erred, remaining suspicious, halting the chase only because they pursued the incorrect target.

In the Nanshan Team, Five-three-three squad, led by Zhu Qingqiu of the Immortal Transformation Pavilion, encountered the same issue: confirmed wrong target and reported, promptly returning to business.

East Victory Team faced similar circumstances, suspicion over the masked group led to interrogation, discovering the mistake upon questioning.

Once informed, the leader quickly sent a message to Wei Mo, "Commander, after interrogation the captured person, identified the mistake; Shi Chun isn't in the Heavenly Court's three thousand numbered squad. That tall target isn't Wu Jinliang but Gao He, with no Shi Chun present, the leader being Wang Ping without Mulan Qingqing. Centurion Lu Yin of Squadron Twenty-seven believes grass was shaken, continuing pursuit is pointless, requesting more suitable targets."

Upon finishing, noticing the Commander's face seemed ominously dark.

Wei Mo's expression being grim was no surprise. Not just anyone, but a new character emerged, and another adding Wang Ping made matters worse. He had chased Shi Chun for so long in Juku State, knew every detail, surely knew Wang Ping and Gao He weren't just anyone?

Had circumstances not prevented revealing private actions, he'd have cursed publicly; nonetheless, he did curse privately through messaging, "Lu Yin, that fool, claims to be a sect disciple yet doesn't keep up with current affairs? Those aliases have been used so often by Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang over twenty years, informing the fool Wang Ping and Gao He are indeed Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang!"

The sheer anger made him tremble, glancing over the Mountain River Map stunned to find three squads ceased pursuing Shi Chun, visibly shocked, a chilling feeling rapidly swept over him, almost breaking out in cold sweat.

Considering Shi Chun's alias usage here, he understood their masked intent: easily dismissing three strong squads using such methods, he might've been fooled if unaware himself.

Acknowledging Shi Chun's ingenuity prompted caution, but being astounded was unprecedented; they had schemed such elaborate deceit at the outset.

This heightened his vigilance, deeming no escape permissible; allowing wickedness, strategic interests during Sky Rain Meteor Conference and Divine Fire Covenant could never resurface. Immediately, he sent a message to supplement, "Tell Lu Yin, spare no expense pursuing, destroy the target at any cost!"
