Chapter 417 Outrageous Request Thinking it was nothing, a hint of impatience appeared on Situ Gu's emotionless face. He walked away and said, "I'm busy." I don't know if this can be considered as being aloof, but his impatience is real. It is really due to his fame. There are too many people who want to find him, and many of them do not have any requests. They simply want to meet him and use it as a topic of conversation. Now is the time when the Divine Fire Realm is open, and he also has to keep an eye on the exit. Once there is any problem with the passage connecting the two worlds, he will be needed to assist in time. How can he have the energy to deal with those unnecessary things? Even if he was free, he didn't want to see them. He handed over some mundane matters to the sect to handle, because he was not good at handling these matters and knew that he would easily offend people if he didn't handle them well. The sect also knew his faults and would do their best to help him push away the things they could. If they really couldn't push away the things, the sect would explain to him clearly, such as some people were really hard to offend and so on. He would go out to deal with them only when he had no other choice. He doesn't even ask who he is and isn't afraid of offending his friends because he doesn't have any friends at all. Those who can become his friends know his character and can't offend him. The disciple hurriedly followed and continued to report in a low voice: "The man said that he was entrusted by someone to bring you a letter." Situ Gu raised his hand and indicated the letter. The disciple looked around carefully and said, "The man who came said that the letter cannot be shown to anyone else and must be handed to you personally. He said that if you don't want to see him, let me mention a person's name to you, saying that the person is called 'Zhen'er'." Situ Gu had basically no reaction to this long string of words from beginning to end, as if he was too lazy to pay any attention to it. Only when the last two-character name popped up did his waving sleeves and body suddenly stop. Silent as a statue, his eyes staring ahead widened slightly, and he obviously remembered something. He suddenly turned back and stared at the disciple, saying, "Bring him to me."

After saying that, he turned around and changed his direction. He no longer went out to the top of the mountain, but strode to his room. "Yes." The disciple whispered and took the order, but there was some confusion on his face when he turned around, wondering who the so-called 'Zhen'er' was. When the messenger handed him the message, he felt that this matter might not be simple, so he stood on the elder's side and spoke carefully. There was no other way, since he was around this elder, his interests were also tied to him. It is extremely rare that a name can cause such a big reaction from the elders. Soon, he went to the gate to greet the messenger, and also greeted his fellow disciples at the door and asked them to let him pass. The fellow disciples did not have any difficulties. Elder Situ held an exceptional position in the sect, and the behavior of those around him often represented Elder Situ. Most disciples had to be polite when they saw him, and no one dared to offend him. The messenger seemed to be an ordinary disciple of the Lihuo Sect. As the landlord sect, many of the miscellaneous personnel in Qiyun Valley were from the Lihuo Sect. The person was taken all the way to a house deep in the inner courtyard. The roof was old and half of the courtyard was covered by an old tree. In other words, only large factions with a large number of participants can be allocated such a large temporary accommodation. Situ's disciple knocked on the door, and after hearing a "hmm" response from inside, he pushed the door open and extended his hand to invite the messenger in. Situ Gu was already sitting behind a long desk. His eyes lost their calmness and became sharp and focused as he stared at the visitor. He also recognized the attire of the Lihuo Sect. The messenger suddenly felt a lot of pressure because he usually didn't have the opportunity to meet such an important person. After examining and confirming, he bowed respectfully. Without waiting for him to say anything polite, Situ Gu broke the silence and said, "Believe it." Well, the messenger had no choice but to take out a sealed small wooden tube from his sleeve, hold it in both hands and bow to deliver it to the table. The original document was obviously kept confidential for a simple reason. Some people could see it, but some could not. The people sent by Young Master Nan to do the job were quite experienced. Situ Gu lifted his sleeves, reached out with his scissors, picked up the small wooden tube, shook it gently, and cast a spell to explore the inside before he unscrewed the lacquered lid, glanced at the contents of the tube, took out the letter paper, put the tube down, and spread out the paper to check. The handwriting on the paper was a bit eye-catching. He guessed that the writer wanted to conceal his identity and deliberately wrote it so irregularly, so he didn't pay much attention to it and carefully identified the content. The letter had not been replaced and the content was still the same sentence: Zhen'er is in my hands, please come to the Divine Fire Territory and help me leave. After matching 'Zhen'er' with the location 'Shenhuoyu', Situ Gu's inner doubt turned into certainty, and his brows trembled violently.

The room was so quiet that one could hear people breathing. The attendant disciples also stared at the letter, wondering what the content of the letter was. Finally, it was Situ Gu who broke the silence and asked, "Who asked you to deliver the letter? To the Lihuo Sect?" It's hard to tell who is behind this kind of letter without a beginning or an end. I have no choice but to ask. The messenger tilted his head to look at the disciple who was accompanying him, and replied hesitantly, "Senior, the messenger's name can only be told to you alone." Situ Gu didn't have much to say, and he wasn't a talkative person, so he just said to his disciple, "Get out." The disciple was speechless, and finally could only turn around and leave, not forgetting to close the door after leaving. Without anyone around, under the pressure of Situ Gu's burning gaze, the messenger moved closer and whispered, "It has nothing to do with Lihuo Sect. The letter was brought here by Shichun of Mingshan Sect." "Shi Chun?" Situ Gu was stunned. Just now, a group of Liantian Sect leaders were still discussing that guy, and they had been discussing for a long time. He just stood aside and listened without saying a word, because he felt it had nothing to do with him. I never dreamed that it would be so sudden, and it was related to him? "That's right." After the messenger confirmed, he bowed and said, "Junior, I'm leaving. I don't know the details, and I'm not qualified to know. I came here just to say hello to you, and I didn't do anything else." The meaning is simple: once I leave this door, I will not admit anything. After he finished speaking, he took three steps back, turned around, went to the door, opened it and walked out. Situ Gu just watched him leave without trying to keep him as his thoughts had already flown very far. In the darkness, a clear firelight like glass was very beautiful, giving people a tender feeling. It made a buzzing sound, leading him to search in the eternal night. He was still young at that time, and he knew that it was his chance, and he seized it firmly. One person and one fire, they explore together in the eternal night, look up at the stars and imagine the future together, there are a lot of laughter and promises. However, things in the world are impermanent and permanent, and life must eventually end. He left with a promise. Later, he broke his promise, but he had to do so because he had no ability to do it until now. He also couldn't easily find anyone to help him. As for those who could get in there, he knew very well how tempting the divine fire was to the relevant personnel. The past is long gone and has become a chronic disease in my heart. He returned his gaze to the letter, frowned in confusion, and muttered, "Shi Chun..." He initially suspected that this beast had already unlocked the restrictions of the forbidden area and held Zhen'er hostage? He changed his mind and rejected it, thinking that it was impossible for Shi Chun to break the restriction with his strength. Even if the top few people today went there, they might not be able to gain the upper hand over those old monsters. He knew very well that the strength of the old monsters in the tower was no longer what it was when they were first imprisoned. Some people were very capable and had a way to teach those old monsters how to practice. The old monsters that had existed for countless years had learned to make good use of their enormous power, and their horror could be imagined. How could Shi Chun be able to deal with such a terrifying existence? Thinking of the report from Zuo Zisheng and others before, knowing that Shi Chun had broken into the forbidden area, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. He guessed that he met him in the forbidden area and then took him hostage. In fact, this has always been what he has been most worried about. If he can meet Zhen'er, how can he guarantee that others will not meet her? As expected, he was afraid of whatever might come his way. After listening to Zuo Zisheng's report, he naturally understood Shi Chun's purpose of hostage-taking. However, he was already filled with anger when someone dared to threaten him. The old saying was indeed true, those who came out of the land of exile were all morally corrupt, hateful and killable! But he was helpless against Shi Chun at the moment. Besides, no one would care about Zhen'er's life or death. How could he not know what the other party was using to threaten him? At the door, the disciple who had seen off the guest came in again with his head stretched out. It was not really considered as seeing off the guest, because he was the one who brought the person in, so he had to monitor him and see him out. He had to be responsible for everything.

"Elder, do you have any instructions?" He tried to ask, but in fact he wanted to know more about the letter. However, this time Elder Situ was very cautious. He picked up the small wooden tube and stuffed the letter back into it. With a flash of fire in his hand, he burned the wooden tube and the letter to ashes on the spot. "It's okay." Elder Situ stood up and left, leaving the disciple to clean up the ashes that had just been burned. Situ Gu did not go anywhere else, but returned to the top of the highest peak in Qiyun Valley. His slim figure seemed slightly graceful in the wide sleeves of his robe. He looked out at the crowded beach below the mountain, and then at the rotating Divine Fire Spirit Gate in the night sky. For the time being, no one had come out of that vortex of light, and the liveliness and noise were no longer there. It has been open for such a long time that all those who can come out have already come out. The rest either haven't had time to come out yet, or don't want to come out for the time being, such as those people from various factions who are waiting for Shi Chun. After walking to the headmaster and being silent for a while, Elder Situ finally spoke, "I want to go to the Divine Fire Realm." Sect leader Luo Yan said "Hmm?" and turned to look at him, his surprise was obvious, he almost said "Say it again". Several elders nearby thought they had heard it wrong and turned to look at him. It was too unreasonable. If not, what else could it be? Situ Gu, who didn't get a reply, had to repeat himself, "I want to go to the Divine Fire Territory." Luo Yan and the others were all speechless, and then looked at each other. They knew that this person was sometimes very willful, but this request was too unreliable, so they could not agree to it. It's not a place that anyone can enter if they want to. The key is that no one can enter. It's not something that a certain sect can decide. Even if we agree, it's useless. No matter how powerful you, Elder Situ, are, other sects will not agree. Luo Yan asked: "Why?" Situ Gu looked calm and said simply and directly: "I can find Shi Chun after I go in." This was the explanation he gave, and it was not a lie. He guessed that Shi Chun was hiding somewhere in the forbidden area. Since Shi Chun did not specify where to meet, it must be some place that he and Zhen'er knew. (End of this chapter)
