Chapter 263 Facts Prove
Well, Xu Anchang was barely convinced by him.
What I mean is that I don't quite agree with it, but I have decided to give it a try according to Shi Chun's suggestion and see how it works. If it works, I'll use it, and if it doesn't, I'll abandon it. By then, Shi Chun probably won't have much to say, and I can explain it to him later.
So the matter was settled for the time being, and the two of them turned around and found their respective people to make arrangements.
Except for Tong Mingshan who was in seclusion, Shi Chun called his people aside and made things clear first, "I just heard from the Si Ding Sect that they have planted an undercover agent in each of the other five sects. Now Xu Anchang is going to send five people, and we also have to send five people. We will form five groups to contact the undercover agents of those five sects and follow them.
The purpose is that no matter which of the five sects discovers the trace of the sacred fire, they must pass the news back to us in a timely manner.
The undercover agents from the five sects will leave marks on the road. You just need to follow the marks and know when to get too close. So as long as you are careful, there shouldn't be any danger. Who among you is willing to take the trouble?"
We still have to find the sacred fire. With the experience of Tong Mingshan as a lesson, An Wuzhi and Zhu Xiangxin answered almost in unison.
"I."
"I go."
After looking at each other, the others also expressed their willingness to help, although they were not very willing to do so. After all, there was no benefit for them in finding the divine fire.
Of course, Tong Mingshan’s gains touched them to some extent.
Another thing is, now that you are here, it is unreasonable that you have received so many benefits from the boss but have no intention of contributing anything.
Besides, it sounded like there was really no danger, so I was willing to go.
Wu Jinliang didn't make any expression except laughing. He knew very well that he didn't need to make any statement. Chuntian would directly tell him what he needed to do. They were in the same boat and wouldn't be polite to him.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Shi Chun nodded to show his satisfaction, and swept his eyes over the faces of the ten people. Finally, he instructed: "Wu Hong, Fang Zicheng, Hao Ji, Shen Moming, Xiao Sheng, I'll trouble you five to make this trip."
The five people who were named were speechless. It would be better if they were not named, but there was nothing they could do after being named, so they could only nod and agree.
An Wuzhi said: "I'd better go. I practice fire-type skills, so it's more convenient for me to act here."
Zhu Xiangxin also said: "That's right, Boss, it would be more appropriate for the two of us to go."
They had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the environment and situation here. They had also witnessed the process of capturing the fire crocodile. They knew that it would be difficult for them to fulfill that dream on their own. They also saw the ignorance of their own sect in this regard.
Although he didn't know how the boss of Tong Mingshan achieved what he had achieved and how the Siding Sect showed humility, he knew at this moment that only by actively performing would he have a chance and the possibility of fulfilling that dream.
Reality tells them that it is useless for them to seek refuge with anyone other than Shi Chun. No matter which sect they join, no sect will allow outsiders to absorb the sacred fire once they find it, no matter how loyal they appear to be. The only way they can get a chance is from the big boss.
Unexpectedly, Shi Chun interrupted by waving his hand, "Okay, let's just go with the five of them. I'll take care of the two of you."
Just this one sentence instantly touched the hearts of the two and made them a little excited. The boss said he would take it to heart. Is there any need to explain what he meant?
He immediately became obedient and stopped saying anything else.
Just a few words made the two of them bow down in admiration. Now they will definitely do whatever he tells them to do.
Wu Jinliang, who was watching from the side, found that the boss was still the same boss from Dong Jiuyuan. He had his own way, which started from when he asked who was willing to help him kill Feng Yaoyang.
"You guys go ahead, I have something to say to the five of them."
After Shi Chun gave instructions, An and Zhu immediately cooperated, and then Chu Jingtang and others also left, but Wu Jinliang was not among them.
After those people left, Shi Chun said to the five designated people, "Originally, five people from the Siding Sect would have been enough for this contact tracking. I took the initiative to say that Mingshan Sect would also contribute, so I forced five people in. Who of you knew my intention?"
After observing the reactions of the five people and deciding to use them, I will start observing their abilities.
The five people first looked at each other, and then all looked thoughtful.
Later, Wu Hong hesitated and said, "I want to know which five sects the Siding Sect sent out undercover agents from, and who the five undercover agents are."
Shen Moming added: "There are also road signs and signals."
Shi Chun smiled, "That's what I mean. Besides your work, pay attention to these things just in case. With your abilities, it shouldn't be a difficult task."
"Got it." Several people either agreed or nodded.
Afterwards, Shi Chun took them to meet with Xu Anchang. After negotiations, and with Shi Chun's strong suggestion and insistence, each of the five groups was given a wind scale.
Not everyone in the Si Ding Sect had Wind Scales, and they only brought in five wind scales in total. For this reason, Shi Chun took the initiative to take out one of his own two as a sign of sincerity, allowing the Si Ding Sect to keep one, and only then was the proposal passed smoothly.
After agreeing on a method of delivering the message, the five groups set off.
With this arrangement, the rest of the people won’t have to run around and look around in a hurry.
After arranging the next step, Shi Chunfang had the leisure to observe Tong Mingshan who was sealed in the cave. Under the power of his right eye, he couldn't see anything special. He only saw particles constantly floating out of a ball of red matter and entering the figure.
On the other side, the ten elders who were meditating under the big pestle on the top of the mountain also noticed those people in the distance.
An elder asked, "Is it still Shichun and the others?"
An elder replied: "It seems so."
An elder asked, "Why are they staying there?"
No one knew, and they couldn't leave here to explore.
But soon we found that the five groups of people who had dispersed had gone down the mountain again, searching for something, and then they dispersed and went away one after another...
Facts have proved that sometimes it is right to deprive the main force of its advantages and give those advantages to the small branches below.
Facts proved that Shi Chun was right to hand over most of the wind scales to the five groups of people. Only half a day later, the group of people sent to track came back to report the news, and the one who came back to report the news was Haoji.
There was no need to say polite words. As soon as they met, Haoji immediately reported: "The people from Hongyun Fort who we were following said that they found traces of the divine fire in a forest of iron trees. They saw a flash of fire, but the divine fire was spirit and hid. The people from Hongyun Fort are currently searching there."
"What is the Iron Forest?"
"As the name suggests, it is a forest of iron trees. Or it can be said to be like a forest, but it is not man-made, it is natural."
After asking for some more details, Shi Chun became more alert. The divine fire was hiding, so his right eye ability was the best to go over and meet it. He immediately said, "Okay, Brother Xu, we should set off."
Xu Anchang felt heavy-hearted. If he went over directly like this, how could he allow outsiders to get their hands on the traces of the sacred fire that Hongyun Castle had finally discovered? If the other party found out that he was not as strong as them, there would most likely be a direct conflict. However, he had already made the decision, and it was not easy for him to regret it. As he said, he had to go and take a look at the situation first.
Of course, he was more curious about what was happening and asked Haoji, "Why did you come back to report the news?"
Because the other party took the Wind Scale from him, he had already told his brothers that some of the people under Shi Chun were not from our Demonic Path, and they should be cautious when dealing with them. The Wind Scale is not cheap, so how could they just hand it over to an outsider?
Haoji immediately explained: "I am not familiar with the undercover agent in Hongyun Castle. He stayed there for easy communication, so he stayed there to continue watching, and I came back to report."
When Shi Chun heard this, he immediately praised in his heart, "Well done!"
Obviously, it is clear at once that this must be the reason Haoji used to persuade his accomplice from the Siding Sect.
When it comes to tipping off, one can only feel more at ease with one's own people. It can be seen that Haoji is able to strive for this and he has a plan in mind.
Xu Anchang asked Shi Chun, "We don't know when the situation at Tongming Mountain will end. How many people should be left to protect the Dharma?"
Shi Chun agreed, "That's right. Nothing should happen around the ten elders. If you find anything wrong, just run over there."
Of course, precautions must be taken. For safety reasons, Shi Chun left Wu Jinliang behind to take charge and brought Lao Changtai with him.
In other words, although the Siding Sect is strong, Shi Chun believes more in Wu Jinliang's ability.
This time he finally understood why the Demonic Path insisted on letting his master Chun come in. Under the restrictive conditions, the Demonic Path really had no choice in terms of the capabilities of the personnel it could bring in in a hurry.
Xu Anchang left two people with serious burns behind so that they could recover. For those who play with fire, the burn medicine is quite effective.
After everything was explained clearly, when they were about to set off, someone else suddenly came. It was Wu Hong who was in the hands of the fifth group of trackers.
It could not be something else that caused them to suddenly come back. Wu Hong reported: "The Jinhai Pavilion that I followed has not found any trace of the divine fire so far, but when they passed through an ice field, they found the troops of the second largest weapon refining sect, Shu Daoshan, searching in an ice valley. Jinhai Pavilion suspected that Shu Daoshan might have found traces of the divine fire, because Jinhai Pavilion was driven away by Shu Daoshan. Jinhai Pavilion believed that it was not as strong as Shu Daoshan, so it did not conflict with him and continued to look for other places after leaving the ice field."
Shi Chun immediately asked Xu Anchang, "Brother Xu, where should we go first?"
Hongyun Fort was afraid of a conflict, and Xu Anchang didn't dare to provoke Shudao Mountain. He chose the former without hesitation. "You can't eat a fat man in one bite. Let's go to Hongyun Fort. After all, we saw fire there, and Shudao Mountain hasn't confirmed it yet."
Shi Chun did not object and immediately asked Wu Hong, "Do you know the approximate location of that ice sheet?"
Wu Hong: "I know. We have to pass by here on the way back and forth."
Shi Chun: "Please give us a rough indication of the location."
Wu Hong immediately squatted on the ground and roughly drew it with his fingers.
Xu Anchang looked at Shi Chun with a bit of speechlessness in his eyes. What? Looking at the situation, does he really want to rob Shudao Mountain?
He couldn't say anything in front of everyone, and didn't want to show weakness in public.
After learning the approximate distance and direction and memorizing the approximate landmarks, Shi Chun asked Wu Hong to go back first, and then continued with the original plan, driving the Fenglin directly away. This time there was no need to look for any landmarks, as Haoji would lead the way.
