Chapter 297: Burdened by Fame
Faced with such coercion, Gong Shixi did not say much, but only said that he could not make the decision alone.
After returning to his own people, Gong Shixi informed his left and right assistants of the situation. They were not only his fellow disciples, but also the other two people with demonic energy in Qianyan Sect that Shi Chun saw through the special ability of his right eye.
One of them had an ordinary appearance and was named Zhou Wudao, and the other had narrow eyes and was named Xun Lishan.
After hearing the situation, Zhou Wudao couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "This Shichun is too bullying. If he is pushed into a corner, he will not agree. At most, he will not play the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. What can he do to me? Does he dare to expose our secrets?"
Xun Lishan hesitated and said, "It is a bit deceptive. The old way is to find it yourself or to rob others after finding out the news. The loss and risk are huge, and it is not so efficient. If it is divided among three parties, psychologically it will not be as comfortable as taking it all by itself, but in fact, the efficiency should be much higher. What Shi Chun said is not wrong. With Shu Daoshan in front, it can indeed save a lot of trouble. Generally speaking, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages."
Gong Shixi said: "What I am worried about is how to explain to my superiors after I get out."
Upon hearing this, Zhou and Xun fell silent. If it were an ordinary weapon refining sect, this choice would definitely be the best one, as they would be able to obtain as much divine fire as possible.
But for them, with the property divided equally among three families and fought between two clans, who will be the winner in the end?
Shi Chun was also looking at Qianyan Sect. After observing for a while, he said to Xu Anchang, "Brother Xu, did you notice that they are doing a much better job managing Qianyan Sect than you are doing in Siding Sect?"
We have reminded Gong Shixi before that there are still people here who are unknowingly involved with the evil sect, and asked Gong Shixi to communicate with us and be careful, but Gong Shixi did not express similar concerns to us.
Based on what we observed, the 20 people in Qianyan Sect were obviously from the Demonic Path, unlike Xu Anchang who had to kill some of his fellow disciples first for convenience. Judging from this situation, the entire Qianyan Sect is likely to be a Demonic Path stronghold.
Xu Anchang: "You are making things more and more complicated. Next time before you make such a decision, will you discuss it with me first?"
Shi Chun said casually: "Brother Xu, do you think that it is impossible for you to win the championship?"
Xu Anchang's heartstrings were slightly tense, "What do you mean?"
Shi Chun glanced at him. What he meant was not important. What was important was to remind the other party that he also had a mouth, and he could report it after he got out. It was up to the higher-ups to decide who they would trust more, the one who worked hard or the one who sought a safe environment, and who was just doing things perfunctorily. You could decide for yourself.
Some things just need to be said briefly, there's no need to say them out loud, as saying them out loud will hurt feelings. In short, just cooperate honestly.
So he said casually: "Nothing. What I mean is that the three sects are fighting each other, so we must be careful of the other side's murderous actions. The Siding Sect must send someone to protect Tong Mingshan."
Xu An was silent.
On the other side, Shudao Mountain is also observing new partners.
After looking at it for a while, Pang Hou muttered: "Uncle Master, the Qianyan Sect's method of planting traitors in other sects is very clever. It would be great if we in Shudao Mountain also had such preparations."
Yuan Yao said, "This matter is not as simple as you think. When each sect accepts disciples is not decided by outsiders. The specific time of arrival of the Divine Fire Territory is not fixed. The cultivation and refining talents of the disciples attending the meeting must match the corresponding period. The selection is not decided by outsiders. There are too many variables. It is difficult to let a designated traitor represent other sects to attend the meeting. However, this Qianyan Sect can do it. I'm afraid it's not that simple. I'm afraid the sect will have to pay close attention to this in the future!"
The three companies each had their own ideas, and after internal discussions, several leaders came forward from each company.
Shi Chun and Gu Lianni thought they were going to discuss the details of the cooperation, but Gong Shixi said something shocking, "We have discussed it, we are used to taking every profit we make and not sharing with others. You can play however you want, we from Qianyan Sect will not accompany you!"
The scene was instantly silent. Gu Lianni and her group looked at Shi Chun, as if asking, "Didn't you say you could handle them?" You even prepared a distribution method.
Xu Anchang also turned his head to look at Shi Chun, with a hint of amusement on his lips, as if he was laughing at a joke.
Wu Jinliang's expression was slightly solemn, and his eyes rolled around.
Shi Chun was also surprised. After a moment of silence, he reminded: "The one-third allocation may seem a little less, but once the efficiency is improved, the result may not be a loss."
Gong Shixi smiled sinisterly, "Do you think it's appropriate for us to split it equally? If we really split it equally, even if I get a little less than you, I don't think your Master Chun will let us go. Especially since you have Shu Daoshan by your side. If we join forces, what will I do?
Shi Chun, there's no need to beat around the bush. Let me be frank. If it were someone else, I would probably cooperate, but not you, Shi Chun!
Your Shichun is well-known, and Gong has known about it for a long time. God knows what you are up to. If I really want to cooperate with you, it would be like associating with a wolf and seeking the skin of a tiger. I am afraid that I will be unable to sleep at night, and I will be anxious and worried, so let's keep it simple."
The group of people all looked at Shi Chun again, some even with a bit of weirdness in their expressions, as they once again experienced his bad reputation.
Shu Daoshan and his group could especially understand Gong Shixi's feelings, as they had felt the same way before.
Shi Chun pursed his lips tightly, doubting whether he had tried too hard to stand out during the Meteor Shower Conference.
But he still said calmly, "So you'd rather give up the good method I taught you?"
Gong Shixi shook his head slightly. "Tit for tat. You taught us a good way, and we didn't treat you unfairly. Didn't we help you solve a big problem just now?"
He raised his chin towards Gu Lianni and her group, "So, we have to use the best methods. I don't want to be involved in anything with Shudao Mountain. Brother Chun, please help me calm them down. If you want to ruin my good deeds and make me unable to complete my mission when I return, then we should all stay here and sleep with the ancients. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Gu Lianni sneered repeatedly, "Gong, do you think I will listen to him?" Gong Shixi smiled playfully, and did not argue with her. Instead, he raised his chin to Shi Chun and said, "You are the one who brought the trouble. I have made it clear enough. You can do whatever you want!"
Shi Chun looked into his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly gave him a thumbs up, "You have guts, you are a real man!"
Gong Shixi: "Not really, I just had no choice!"
Shi Chun held out his hand to ask for it back, "Let me discuss it for a while before giving you an answer."
Gong Shixi didn't say anything, turned around and led everyone back to his side.
Gu Lianni turned to Shi Chun and asked, "Is this the perfect solution you mentioned?"
Shi Chun said expressionlessly: "Please borrow the troops from Shudao Mountain and surround the troops from Qianyan Sect for me."
When these words were spoken, several people were slightly surprised.
Especially Xu Anchang had to remind him: "Don't mess around, their strength should be strong, it is impossible to destroy them instantly."
He knew very well that this matter could not be carried out in front of outsiders. Even if he could win, once Gong Shixi was forced into a desperate situation and their identities were exposed, would he be able to silence Shu Daoshan? Wasn't he just using this as a threat?
Gu Lianni frowned and asked, "Do you really want to do it?"
Shi Chun said calmly, "Don't do anything, just surround them for now so I can use the opportunity to intimidate them. If it doesn't work, we can talk about it later. We can't just do whatever he says. We still have to pretend to be nice."
In this case, Shudao Mountain would naturally cooperate. After getting permission, Yuan Yao immediately went to Shudao Mountain's people to make arrangements.
Soon, the Shudaoshan troops suddenly appeared without warning and surrounded the Qianyan Sect.
Those who didn't know the truth were all shocked.
Especially the Qianyan Sect, they quickly drew their weapons and stood back to back on guard. Gong Shixi shouted, "Shichun, if you dare to move, just try!"
Shi Chun ignored him and said to the two groups around him: "Brother Xu, Miss Gu, both of you should pretend to negotiate and do it for them to see."
The two were stunned, not knowing what this meant. Just when they were about to ask, Shi Chun had already flashed and flew to the outskirts of Shudao Mountain where the troops were surrounded.
Wu Jinliang quickly reminded Xu and Gu, "What are you doing? Don't just stand there. I asked you to pretend to negotiate."
Well, the two of them had to pretend to be negotiating and communicating.
After seeing this, Shi Chun turned around and said to Gong Shixi who was surrounded, "Brother Gong, I have tried my best to stop them, but I can't make the decision on this matter. Wait until they have reached an agreement. Please wait patiently."
Hearing this, Gong Shixi couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look up. Seeing Xu Anchang communicating with Gu Lianni, he was suddenly surprised. What did he mean? That guy is the one who makes the decision?
He focused his attention on Xu Anchang and observed him.
Shi Chun walked back with his hands behind his back. When he came to the two people who were pretending to communicate, he turned his back to Gong Shixi and whispered, "You guys continue. Don't stop until I come back. Try to act more realistically. Jinliang, you keep an eye on them. If they don't act realistically, remind them."
Wu Jinliang nodded.
Gu Lianni didn't look away, and seemed to be communicating with Xu Anchang, but she was actually talking to Shi Chun, "What on earth are you going to do?"
Shi Chun snorted, "He's got guts, I'll let him endure it slowly."
As he spoke, he strolled around with his hands behind his back. When he was bored, he released the Wind Scales, which flew in the air and patrolled everywhere. Of course, the special ability of his right eye was not just for show.
Now that everyone is here, they have to find the sacred fire here before they can leave, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Shudao Mountain.
Who says you can't steal someone's girl in front of Qianyan Sect? Just keep them under control.
Gong Shixi and others who were surrounded also saw Shi Chun patrolling in the air. No matter whether he was looking for the sacred fire or not, they did not take it seriously, because it was not something that one could find by just looking around in the air.
Gong Shixi was more concerned about Xu Anchang, especially Xu Anchang himself, whom he had really ignored before.
When he was patrolling around about ten miles away from the confrontation site, Shi Chun paused his gaze, which was slowly scanning downwards, and then fell directly to the ground. He looked carefully again and vaguely saw a group of dark yellow dots deep underground swaying slightly.
After repeated confirmation, he took off again, memorized the terrain and location, flew back to the vicinity of the "negotiation" site, and slowly walked back.
