Chapter 254 It's Not Easy
On the highest peak of Qiyun Valley, everyone stared at the sky for a while, and Situ Gu suddenly said, "It's OK."
Then flames burst out from the eight people on the terrace again, shining on the giant metal ring.
After a while, the rotation speed of the metal ring gradually slowed down, and the orange-yellow flowing clouds inside it also disappeared. The flames on the eight people also converged, and the slowly rotating metal ring began to move and flew away towards the direction of Lihuo Sect.
In addition to the people who stayed behind, a group of high-ranking officials from a large weapon-refining sect also flew towards the Lihuo Sect.
In the valley, the leaders of various sects and their entourages who had been under house arrest were finally freed. They went out and flew to the top of the mountain to take a look. They saw more than 30,000 natal lotus lanterns floating neatly in the air, which was a spectacular sight.
Looking around, the master of the Seven Star Island suddenly saw the master of the Tianlu Sect nearby. Both were weapon-refining sects from Shengzhou. Although the two sects had competition, they were also old acquaintances.
He immediately walked over and greeted him, "Sect Master Wu."
Tianlu Sect's Sect Master Wu looked back and said, "Island Master Xin."
Island Master Xin made a gesture to ask for permission to move forward and Sect Master Wu understood. Both of them walked to a deserted spot nearby without asking anyone to follow them.
After they met again, Island Master Xin asked in a low voice, "Have you informed your disciples about what Jieyunshan said?"
Sect Leader Wu sneered, "Just two random people from Jieyun Mountain dare to point fingers at us. What the hell are they?"
Island Master Xin was surprised, "You didn't know?"
Sect Leader Wu: "Don't tell me that you would let the disciples of the sect neglect their work to hunt down Shi Chun. Is it worth it? I don't believe it."
Island Master Xin sighed, "Who said it wasn't?"
After the two of them separated after whispering for a while, an elder from the Tianlu Sect came to Sect Master Wu and asked, "That person is looking for you, isn't he still looking for you about the matter of Jieyun Mountain?"
Sect Leader Wu hummed and asked, "Have you explained everything clearly to the disciples?"
The elder said, "Don't worry, Sect Master. We have explained everything clearly. If we encounter people from Fengluo Sect, Lianling Fort, and Qixing Island, we will be careful to avoid being dragged into those trivial matters and delaying important matters."
seaside.
Looking at the crowd that was gradually dispersing, and then looking at the tens of thousands of lotus lanterns floating in the sky, and looking at the lantern with Shi Chun's name on it, Lan Qiaoyan said with emotion: "Now we're going in, it's hard to predict whether we'll live or die."
Gong Shaoci asked: "Are you talking about Shichun?"
Lan Qiaoyan: "If you go in, you will only know those two guys. Shi Chun is a guy who doesn't follow the right path. If he continues like this, he will be trampled down sooner or later. Alas!"
There was some helplessness in her tone. He was not her son, so she really couldn't control him, and it was not appropriate for her to control him.
Gong Shaoci thought for a moment and said, "How can I explain this? I heard that he has quite a lot of expenses. He bought a house in the capital of Shengshenzhou, which is bigger than the one awarded to him by the royal court. It is said that the big guy also spends money lavishly in brothels, and he also uses the Qiankun bag and the wind scales.
They have only been out of exile for a few days, where can they get so much money? They can't get it through normal channels. It's not Nan Gongzi's fault for putting them in there. With the way they spend money, they can't survive without taking unconventional measures. "
Lan Qiaoyan was silent for a moment, then asked, "This time there is no Sky-Viewing Mirror, so we can't see the competition going on inside. How can Master Nan still play the game?"
Gong Shaoci smiled and said, "It's more fun if you can't see it, it's more exciting, and the gamble is bigger."
He pointed at the floating lotus lantern of his destiny, "Look at this. You can bet on which sect will win, the number of divine fires absorbed by each sect, or individuals. There are many ways to bet. Anyway, since you can't see it, you can keep betting until the divine fire domain opens again. The odds will be adjusted during this period, and the odds will be different in different periods."
Lan Qiaoyan looked around and asked, "Are these the people on the island?"
What she meant was that this number of people was not as many as the ones who placed bets during the Meteor Shower Festival. If everyone on this island was either rich or noble, she didn't think that was the case.
Of course, those who can come to this island to spend money during this period are not poor people, but they are not the kind of people she thinks can support Young Master Nan's gambling.
Gong Shaoci smiled and reminded, "The Sky-viewing Mirror cannot see the situation in the Divine Fire Realm, but it can see what's happening here."
Pointing at the natal lotus lantern in the sky, he said, "Young Master Nan is playing big this time. He spent a lot of money to rent a sky-viewing mirror and opened it in the capitals of the four major continents at the same time.
For example, the parade ground in Shengshenzhou's capital was rented out by him and opened to everyone. The other three major continents' capitals are no exception. It is said that the parade grounds in the various royal courts are now very lively."
"Hiss..." Both mother and daughter took a deep breath at the same time. Let alone anything else, just being able to rent all the training grounds for the armies in the four continents is something that not everyone can do.
Lan Qiaoyan exclaimed: "This Young Master Nan is really playing big, he must be crazy, the Sky-viewing Mirror is such a valuable treasure, can it still be rented?"
Gong Shaoci: "During the last Sky Rain Meteor Shower, the person in charge of the Sky Mirror seemed to be called Yang Wu. Didn't he use the Sky Mirror to make money last time? He made Young Master Nan open his mind. This time, we found him. After the negotiation, we immediately found friends from the four continents to open the market together. Seeing that there was money to be made, everyone came together to help and play together. Getting Shi Chun in was just a side job."
The mother and daughter were speechless.
After a while, Lan Qiaoyan sighed and said, "This Young Master Nan is playing too ostentatiously. If he doesn't restrain himself, he will probably get himself into trouble sooner or later."
Next to a coconut tree, the group from Suzaku Pavilion looked up at An Wuzhi's name on the lotus lantern, not moving for a long time.
The same was true for Wancaotang's group, who stared at Zhu Xiangxin's name with great expectations.
It was impossible for all of them to guard here all the time, so the leader Ao Hongyou suddenly turned around and said to everyone, "Send people to take turns to watch over here, and don't miss a moment!"
In another world, Shi Chun realized that he had expressed his feelings incorrectly, and he was standing a little far away, so the ten elders did not see him saluting.
Tong Mingshan and others around him did see it, and they looked at him with strange expressions as he saluted in a polite manner, wondering what he was up to.
Seeing that no one noticed, Shi Chun thought, forget it, he flicked his sleeves and threw the thing he had just picked up away.
The people from all factions left one after another. Seeing that he was still here and not leaving, the three people who practiced the fire-type skills became a little anxious. Tong Mingshan said, "Boss, we have to take the initiative. Where are Wu Jinliang and the others?"
“Even if we encounter the divine fire in this area, we will be the target of everyone’s attacks and will not be able to swallow it.” Shi Chun waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to rush. At the same time, he saw that the demons he had met before seemed to be waiting for him.
In another valley, the five people with the magic flame took refuge inside. One of them stuck his head out from behind a rock to observe Shi Chun and his group.
Someone behind me asked, "What's wrong?"
The peeper whispered, "We have been told to be careful of Shi Chun and his gang."
The people behind sneered, "How can we be afraid of them?"
Peeping: "It's not that we're afraid, but the higher-ups think that Shi Chun and his gang's entry into the Divine Fire Territory is a little strange this time, and they're worried that it might be related to the other two veins, so they asked us to be more careful."
"Hey, could it be that Shi Chun is also a member of my demon sect..." someone muttered from behind.
"Everyone, please carefully identify the people from Mingshan Sect. If you run into them, you should be prepared."
In another mountain, the three people with magic flames were also hiding in the dark and observing Shi Chun and others.
Later, seeing that almost everyone around had left, the leader made a gesture and left with his men, fearing that they would be an eyesore if they stayed.
The team in front soon left.
Shi Chun and the others waited and waited, and finally Wu Jinliang came back with Chu Jingtang and others.
Wu Jinliang said nothing, just nodded slightly to Shi Chun, indicating that the matter was settled.
Shi Chun waved his hand and finally led everyone out.
When the group of demons they had met before saw the direction they were going, they discussed among themselves for a moment and then followed in that direction.
On the way, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang found an excuse to leave the group.
The group that was following from a distance saw the two people leave, and the two people with demonic flames also left the group.
Soon, the two sides met on the top of a barren mountain.
In fact, I didn't see any grass along the way, but I saw many places growing sparkling crystals.
The two parties looked at each other again. The man, with a smile on his face, bowed and said, "I am Xu Anchang, a disciple of the Four Ding Sect."
The other one, who had a particularly dark red complexion and was more burly, cupped his hands and said, "A disciple of the Four Ding Sect, You Mu."
Shi Chun and the other two were about to bow, but Xu Anchang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Forget about it, you two. We know that you are Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang from Mingshan Sect. We have noticed you for a long time. I never thought that it was you two that were asked to meet. It seems that your entry this time was also arranged by the higher-ups."
Shi Chun clasped his fists and said, "Nice to meet you. This is exactly what was arranged by the higher-ups."
Xu Anchang was puzzled and asked, "Why only arrange thirteen people? Since they have already been brought in, wouldn't it be better to have twenty people? It will also give us more strength."
Shi Chun: "There are too many people watching us. Even those eleven are a cover-up. In fact, there are only two of us, but those eleven can also be arranged to help. As for your side, how many people have come this time?"
Xu Anchang: "In addition to the twenty people you saw, there are five of our people scattered in other sects."
Shi Chun raised an eyebrow, "How many? Twenty-five? I mean, did the higher-ups tell you why I came here?"
Xu Anchang: "He said that he would arrange someone to cooperate with us and let us listen to that person's opinions. Of course, the premise is that they are useful opinions."
Shi Chun said indifferently: "If you don't even tell us the truth about how many manpower you have, then how can we plan the arrangements later? We can't do this."
Xu Anchang was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that? I didn't hide anything. It's just these twenty-five people."
Wu Jinliang didn't believe what he said and sneered, "A dignified demon sect can only send out 25 people. Who would believe that?"
Xu Anchang immediately made a gesture to him to keep quiet, and quickly glanced around, suggesting that he should not mention anything about magic, as it was unsafe.
Then he explained seriously, "It's not what you think. Besides, how could there be so many people coming in?
This is the business of weapon refiners. It is impossible for people from other professions to get in easily. Oh, you are an exception.
But you should know that it was not easy for you to get in this time. We dare not make such a big noise as you did, even if it is a hundred times smaller.
Only those who are skilled in refining equipment can participate, and there is also a limit on their cultivation level. There is no way to prepare for this in advance. If the personnel are deployed too early, those who are too advanced in cultivation will not be able to come, and those who are too low in cultivation will have poor talent and will not be given the opportunity to enter the Divine Fire Domain.
The problem was that no one knew in advance that the 'Broken Blade' would appear, and there was no preparation at all, nor was there time to prepare.
Among us in the equipment refining business, those with low cultivation levels cannot enter, and those with high cultivation levels cannot enter either. And the rest cannot be entered just by those who want to. They also have to choose according to their talent for equipment refining. It is not easy to gather twenty-five of them.
In fact, there are not even twenty-five of them. Among our team of twenty people, eight are not of the same kind, so we can only use them but not let them know.
If not for this, I'm afraid they wouldn't have brought your Master Chun into this matter. Seeing you, I roughly understand what they mean. They must have been impressed by your ability shown in the Sky Rain Meteor Conference, so they can be considered to have great magical powers."
