Chapter 260 Guarantee Your Life
It's easier to talk to smart people, and Shi Chun saved trouble.
The three of them looked at each other, and none of them expressed any doubt, so the matter was settled.
The three men returned to their respective teams, called on their respective teams to gather their own people, and agreed on a place to meet again, under the pretext of going together to look for the sacred fire.
Then the ten elders just watched the group leave.
This time, the ten elders saw who was the most polite. Logically, people from the exiled land were the least polite. The guy who said goodbye from afar was quite special...
At the seaside, the natal lotus lantern in the air began to fall.
There was also a commotion among the crowd of onlookers. One, two, three, four lights went out and fell to the sand.
The noise caused Mulan Qingqing's figure to quickly appear in the window of the inn. She looked out and found that Shi Chun's natal lotus lantern was still in the air. She breathed a sigh of relief and when she turned around, her eyes fell on the mother-and-child talisman on the table and paused.
It was very strange, but as soon as I saw the symbol, the words that were so straightforward and corny, praising her for being the most beautiful, seemed to appear in front of my eyes.
On the mountain, people from various weapon-refining sects were talking about the lantern falling when they saw it.
Yu Xingdou, the leader of the Siding Sect, stroked his beard and said, "We have only been in for a short time, but the lights have gone off so many times. To some extent, this is a good thing. It means that many people have found the sacred fire."
The elder beside him nodded and said, "Yes, there must have been a conflict over the sacred fire. Some people were laughing, and some were crying."
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple next to him suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Feng's natal lamp! And Senior Brother Huang..."
The Siding Sect's group, who knew the location of their disciples' natal lamps, looked quickly and saw two lamps fall, Feng Yaoyang's name went out and disappeared, and the two Siding Sect's disciples' natal lamps fell to the ground.
The expressions of the people in the Siding Sect changed drastically, and there was silence for a long time.
There is no other way. I can't get in. I can't help even if I want to...
Under a tree, Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi suddenly turned their heads to look to one side, and saw a skinny man in green clothes with a dull face appearing a few steps away. They subconsciously looked at his hands under his sleeves, which were as skinny as chicken claws, and they immediately knew who he was.
Their eyes met, and Xiang Lan'er turned to Duan Xiangmei and said, "Xiaomei, help us get something to drink."
"Okay." Duan Xiangmei responded and left.
If you don't find an excuse to get her away, this woman will refuse to leave and insists on guarding those natal lamps.
With no one around, Feng Chi asked softly, "Master Qing, why are you here?"
The disguised man in green barely moved his lips and spoke in a low voice, "We have lost our key candidate for the championship. We can abandon our plan now."
Feng Chi and Xiang Lan'er were both shocked. They looked at the gaps in the neatly arranged natal lamps in the sky and realized that the key person on their side was in the natal lamp that had fallen before.
But Shi Chun's natal lamp is still there. Feng Chi said, "It's not time to give up yet. Shi Chun is still inside. There is still a chance."
As he spoke, the green-clothed man's eyes moved slightly, and he saw a few more natal lamps shaking, and then went out one after another, and fell to the ground one after another. They were not from other families, but from the disciples of the Siding Sect. Seven of them fell one after another, and the falling period was very concentrated, so relevant personnel ran to collect them.
The man in green slowly exhaled and said, "I don't know what happened inside, and I don't know if Shi Chun has met up with the target team. Anyway, without a support point for the display, Shi Chun is useless inside. The higher-ups have decided to abandon the original plan, so you should hurry up and evacuate."
Xiang Lan'er was puzzled: "Why do we have to evacuate? There's nothing to do if we go back. We can wait here for Shi Chun to come out."
The man in green: "Since the higher-ups have given up on the first plan, they will start with the second plan. Once they find out where the things we want are, they may have to take them. Those top-level weapon-refining sects are no joke. Once they start, the entire Lihuo Island may be razed to the ground or completely disappear in the sea. If you don't evacuate in time, you will be in danger."
If the mother-child talisman had not temporarily lost its effect in this area, he would not have come here in person to inform you.
Feng Chi suddenly said, "Please inform the higher-ups, Master Qing, to put the second plan on hold, but we can't give up the first plan. As long as Shi Chun is still inside, we still have hope."
The man in green: "Didn't you hear me clearly? Without a fulcrum to use his skills, no matter how capable he is, it's useless. It's not something that can be solved by finding a little more divine fire, but the fact that there are no more weapon refining masters who can compete with the top sects' disciples."
Feng Chi: "I believe he will find a way to solve it. Since he has been ordered to go in, I believe he will do something and will do his best to give a satisfactory explanation to the higher-ups. Master Qing, please pass on my opinion to the higher-ups. I believe Shi Chun will succeed!"
The man in green: "You believe it? Are you kidding me? Do you think the higher-ups will change their plans just because you believe it?"
Feng Chi suddenly said: "I guarantee it with my life!"
After these words were spoken, the man in green and Xiang Lan'er were both stunned.
Xiang Lan'er turned her head and looked at Feng Chi, her eyes and face full of surprise.
The man in green also wanted to turn his head to look at Fengchi, but he held back, only his Adam's apple moved.
Perhaps realizing that what he said just now was a bit too much, Feng Chi added: "Once the fight starts, can the other two clans resist and not join in? Can we guarantee that we can definitely get it? Once it is snatched away by others, there will be no chance.
Shi Chun is still in there. We let him in because we believed in his ability. We shouldn't doubt our judgment easily. We just lacked a fulcrum. I think he is the biggest fulcrum. If we don't even have this little confidence, why did we send him in in the first place? I believe in him, and I will guarantee it with my life. Please report this to the higher authorities on my behalf, Master Qing."
The man in green didn't say anything this time. After a moment of silence, he turned and left.
After he walked away, Xiang Lan'er said in a deep voice: "Sister Feng, are you crazy? Even if we take a step back, the success or failure of the matter has nothing to do with you. If the robbery fails, you will not be implicated. Why would you risk your life to guarantee such a thing?"
Feng Chi clenched his fingers into fists, "Yes, I am indeed crazy, they drove me crazy!
They always tell me all kinds of hopes.
Punish me, destroy my cultivation, and force me to start over again. I accept it.
When I was in my prime, I would have accepted the offer to work as a brothel madam.
But where is the hope? They never let me see any hope!
Miss, they can only be thieves, I don't believe they can do it.
Now I see hope, and I think only if he goes further will we have hope.
If my hopes are shattered, it would not be worth it for me to keep hiding like this for the rest of my life, and it would be meaningless. I would rather die!
I'll bet my life that he can succeed!
Miss, this is my last bit of faith!"
There was an inexplicable despair in these words.
Xiang Lan'er had never seen her like this before, and she didn't quite understand her feeling, but she didn't say anything else. Since she had made a choice and chose to gamble her life, she had to be prepared to pay the price.
She knew very well that if she disobeyed orders in this way, her superiors would not let her off easily.
Even if she didn't listen to Fengjie's advice and continued to implement the second-hand plan, the higher-ups would not let Fengjie off.
The only chance is that the higher-ups listen to Fengjie, and if the final result proves that Fengjie is right, then Fengjie will naturally be fine.
If the final result is wrong and such a big thing is delayed, Fengjie will definitely die!
Thinking of this, Xiang Lan'er felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Anyone with a trace of rationality knew that there was no hope for Shi Chun, and there was no hope for Sister Feng either. This was a sudden outbreak of hysteria...
At the edge of the lava field, the entire Mingshan Sect's men waited for a long time, and finally waited for the Siding Sect's men to come and join them.
Seeing that Shi Chun and others were really there, Xu Anchang felt relieved. This at least proved that Shi Chun did not lie and what he said before about the divine fire was true.
But I also believe that Shi Chun would not talk nonsense. If he really dares to do so, his superiors will not let him off.
In addition, the number of people in the Siding Sect has decreased again, this time there are seven less. Seven plus two equals nine, and now there are only eleven people left.
Wu Jinliang asked knowingly, "Brother Xu, you haven't arrived yet, have you?"
Xu An sighed and said, "That murderer was really powerful. The brothers paid a heavy price in hunting him down."
God damn, they are going to hunt down the murderer. Chu Jingtang and others couldn't help but look at the total number of people on their side. They certainly knew that the murderer was among them.
So it’s strange, how did the missing seven disappear?
Shi Chuncai didn't care how the other party dealt with the seven fellow disciples. He sighed and said with regret: "That's such a pity. If we catch the murderer, we will not let him go!"
Chu Jingtang and the others didn't dare to move their eyes, and their expressions were becoming more and more controlled. This feeling was very familiar, and it had been a long time since I experienced it. It was as if I had returned to the time of the Meteor Shower Conference.
Xu Anchang said: "Brother Chun, the best way to comfort the dead is to complete their unfinished business. There is no time to be sentimental. Let's get down to business first. Where is the trace of the divine fire you found?"
Shi Chun directly took out the wind scales and said, "Don't waste time, just fly over there."
This was exactly what Xu Anchang was thinking, so he praised, "Good."
As a result, both sides' troops were swept into the air by the wind scales, with Shi Chun riding the wind scales and leading the way.
I had been around this molten area several times before and remembered some of the landmarks, so it didn't take me long to find the turtleback area where molten lava gushed out from time to time.
After a group of people landed one after another, facing the rolling heat waves, Shi Chun pointed to the large lava spring and said, "It's right here. When I passed by from the air before, I saw a strange red light coming out of this spring. Brother Xu, if this divine fire is hiding under here, how can we deal with it?"
Xu Anchang, his eyes shining, waved his hands to indicate that it was okay, and then said to You Mu: "Take three people and go down to investigate first."
You Mu nodded, glanced at his fellow disciples, then pointed at three people.
Four people stood at the mouth of the molten lava spring in four directions and performed fire-based skills. They were surrounded by fire. Then they stepped into the molten lava one after another, forcing the molten lava to move away and sink all the way. Soon their figures disappeared.
