666 Chapter 666: Anti-Climatic Conclusion!

Before those royal guards and imperial soldiers could react, Tang Li Xue had already disappeared from their sight like a passing wind.

Tang Li Xue also activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn herself invisible and undetectable, so those royal guards and imperial soldiers would not be able to track her at least for now.

Unfortunately for Tang Li Xue, the people from the imperial side were clearly well-prepared this time.

One of those royal guards and imperial soldiers immediately took out a communication talisman from their spatial treasure, and they contacted their higher-ups with it to report Tang Li Xue's appearance.

It did not take long for one of the royal guard's captains to come to their location, and then he took out a compass-like treasure from his spatial ring.

One of the imperial soldiers dragged the arrested Wang Shan to face the royal guard's captain, and the royal guard's captain used the compass-like treasure in his grasp to extract the trace of Tang Li Xue's aura and energy from Wang Shan's body.

Since Wang Shan had accompanied Tang Li Xue for quite some time, and Tang Li Xue also used [Mystic Whisper] on him several times already, it was inevitable that she would leave a trace of her aura and energy on Wang Shan.

With the guidance of a compass-like spirit treasure, the royal guard's captain began to lead more than a hundred royal guards and imperial soldiers to chase after Tang Li Xue!

.....

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue was currently hiding in the dark alley as she canceled her [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya and let Yaya take some rest in her System's pet space.

After that, Tang Li Xue activated her transfiguration to transform into her human form.

She also created a Hanfu dress, a veil, and a hooded cloak with her [Energy Manipulation], then wore them to cover her body, furry tail, and fox ears.

After making sure that her appearance was tidy, Tang Li Xue activated her [Twin Moons] again to summon out her perfect copy.

Her perfect copy would always have an identical appearance to her the moment she summoned out, and no one would be able to tell the difference.

"You damn abusive boss~! I almost got killed by that old man~! It was really scary you know?! That old man seriously wanted to turn me into a meat pancake~!" The perfect copy started to complain angrily to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and quickly interrupted her: "All right, I know, I get it... I am sorry, okay~?! We still have not been out of the danger yet, and those guards might find us any time, so it would be much safer if we split up right now."

The perfect copy still felt a bit upset, but she nodded her head and asked: "Should I head to the south gate to observe that wood-controlling fox? Who knows if we can find a chance to break out of this city and seize the treasure game's winning reward from that wood-controlling fox, right?"

Tang Li Xue pondered her perfect copy's suggestion carefully and agreed: "Not bad, your idea is pretty good. Then I will head to the north gate to check whether the guards there have already lessened or not."

After deciding their next plan, both of them activated their [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn invisible, and both of them were heading in two opposite directions.

Just when Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy were split up, the royal guard's captain with his compass-like spirit treasure and more than a hundred royal guards and imperial soldiers had already reached there!

But they became extremely confused since there was no trace of fox over there.

"Report, Captain~! Young Master Wang Shan said to us before that his future bride had been kidnapped by that fox. Maybe that fox had possessed and controlled Young Master Wang Shan's future bride to get away from us?" One of the royal guards bravely said his opinion to his captain.

The eyes of the royal guard's captain instantly became brighter after he heard his subordinate's words and exclaimed excitedly: "You are absolutely right~!"

The royal guard became even braver and quickly added another guess: "Captain, there is also some possibility that fox might have the ability to disguise as civilian or to turn invisible..."

The royal guard's captain frowned deeply when he heard it this time as he muttered: "It would be quite tricky if that fox really had them." 

But the royal guard's captain quickly realized that Tang Li Xue's trace showed by his compass-like spirit treasure actually pointed in two different directions right now.

"What a tricky sinister beast~!" The royal guard's captain gnashed his teeth in anger and annoyance as he took out his communication talisman from his spatial ring and asked for more backup from his higher-ups.

Both Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy still did not know that they would face relentless pursuit from the imperial side, so they were still sticking to their previous plan.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was still pretty far from the south gate of the Imperial City, but she could already watch the fierce battle between the wood-controlling fox against several experts from the imperial side from afar.

Well, actually... it was not exactly a fierce battle since the wood-controlling fox was currently using so many clones to play hide-and-seek with those several Nascent Soul Stage experts from the Imperial side.

Neither Tang Li Xue nor her perfect copy could really understand how that wood-controlling fox managed to fool those Nascent Soul Stage experts' divine senses.

When Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was trying to sneak closer to check and analyze how that wood-controlling fox did it, an army of royal guards suddenly rushed toward her from behind!

To make it worse, their leader was actually the Nascent Soul Stage General, so her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] could not hide from them!

"Uhhh... My situation is really bad right now~! Can you please quickly un-summon me back to get away from them?!" The perfect copy informed the real Tang Li Xue through their mind connection.

"It is impossible to do at this time! My situation is a lot worse than you! Can you just run away and find a place to hide over there?!" Tang Li Xue replied with a panic tone.

Tang Li Xue really did not lie!

Currently, she was pincered by two Nascent Soul Stage generals from the royal guard and the imperial soldier at once!

Tang Li Xue had already hastily turned back into her fox form and entered [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya.

She even activated [Wind Guardian Blessing] and [Wings of Freedom] at the same time to increase her flying speed several times without any hesitation!

Then she used [Breezing Step] plus [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] and flew with her maximum breakneck speed toward the east gate to escape from the pincer assault of the two Nascent Soul Stage generals!

Even though the two Nascent Soul Stage generals could not immediately catch up to her with her current extremely fast speed, but the flying speed of those two Nascent Soul Stage generals was not much worse than her either!

If the buff from [Wind Guardian Blessing] and [Wings of Freedom] ran out, those two Nascent Soul Stage generals would surely catch up to her in the blink of an eye!

Tang Li Xue was still hesitating on whether she should use her [Swap] skill to exchange location with her perfect copy right now or try to stall for more time instead.

But the situation of her perfect copy was actually even more miserable than her right now...

Without extremely high speed like the real Tang Li Xue, there was nothing much that the perfect copy could do against the Nascent Soul Stage general.

Even though the perfect copy already tried her best to run away with [Water Mirage] plus [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step], and she had also already activated [Wings of Freedom] buff after transformed back into her fox form, but the Nascent Soul Stage general still could easily destroy all of her [Water Mirage] clones and caught her before she could run far.

Without any other choice, Tang Li Xue could only un-summon her perfect copy before the Nascent Soul Stage general could use something like the Soul Searching Technique on her perfect copy.

However, Tang Li Xue actually bumped into another Nascent Soul Stage expert guarding the east gate!

"It is really over now..." Tang Li Xue muttered in resignation.

Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs as she immediately changed the trajectory of her flight toward another direction, but she realized that she had already completely surrounded by four Nascent Soul Stage generals from four different directions!

It was truly a checkmate!

There was really no way for her to escape this time!

"No~! Not yet~! It is still not over yet~!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed as she persistently refused to give up!

[Multiple Wind Clones]~!

[Water Mirage]~!

[Twin Moons]~!

"All~! Come out~!" Tang Li Xue shouted as she split into several hundreds of identical clones all of a sudden!

Just when Tang Li Xue had already prepared herself to fight until her last drop of blood in this hopeless situation in order to grab the last straw of hope... the vision in front of her suddenly got distorted!

Before she even realized what just happened, she had already been sent back to Treasure Island.

Tang Li Xue: "....."

She instantly felt really awkward right now, but she still sighed in relief and felt thankful for the timely teleport.
