Chapter 310: Unhappy Retribution

Chapter 310: Unhappy Retribution "woo woo woo woo……" Suddenly, a dull flute sound echoed in the wilderness on the loess wasteland. The people on the ground looked around, and those who had drilled underground also emerged one after another. It was the Qianyan Sect's group, and they were still here. Seeing his fellow disciples trying to find out where the sound came from, Gong Shixi, who was looking around, suddenly shouted to stop them: "Stop right there, go do your own thing!" He shouted to everyone to stop, then flew away, not wanting anyone to follow him. Someone vaguely realized something. At the bottom of a pit, the sound of the flute was still spreading under the blessing of magic power, and the person playing the flute was also wearing a cloak. Gong Shixi, who had fallen from the sky, landed in front of him and responded, "I came here after hearing your voice. It's a pleasure to meet you." Hearing this, the cloaked man stopped playing, put away the flute, and said softly: "Something happened in the Liantian Sect. The cause of the incident was that Yan Ketao from Shudao Mountain found the leader of the Liantian Sect, Zuo Zisheng..." He recounted the story of how Yan Ketao found Zuo Zisheng, which led to the Liantian Sect stopping its search for the sacred fire and instead starting to look for Shi Chun and his gang. After hearing this, Gong Shixi frowned, "You mean, what's so famous about Shichun?"

Cloaked man: "The purpose of Liantian Sect coming to the Divine Fire Region is nothing but the Divine Fire. There is only one possibility that can make Zuo Zisheng give up the search for the Divine Fire and turn his full attention to finding Shi Chun and his group, and that is more Divine Fire. No matter how much Divine Fire there is, it will be useless to look for it if it is absorbed by others, so..." Gong Shixi's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Shi Chun has a way to find more divine fire?" The cloaked man said, "That's right. Besides, even if we kill Zuo Zisheng's parents, it's impossible for Zuo Zisheng to ask the entire sect to give up the search for the sacred fire and go look for Shi Chun and the others." Gong Shixi pondered and said, "How much divine fire is needed to make the Liantian Sect stop what they are doing..." At this point, he realized that the number must be extremely tempting. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and felt a toothache. He felt a toothache when he thought of Shi Chun's identity. Go and rob too? Damn it, Shi Chun is from another branch of the Demonic Path, and the three branches of the Demonic Path have a covenant that they can only compete fairly and not kill each other. He can use his Demonic Path identity to force Shi Chun to retreat. If he pushes Shi Chun into a corner, he will also suffer the backlash of his identity. So it is difficult for him to take action on this matter. The cloaked man said, "There must be a lot of them. One, two, three or four of them are unlikely to make Zuo Zisheng give up his work completely." Gong Shixi was puzzled, "How can Shichun find a large amount of divine fire by mixing with Shu Daoshan? How can this be possible? I can't figure it out!" He remembered that Shi Chun had previously approached him to discuss cooperation. Cloaked man: "I think it might be related to the exit area. Zuo Zisheng and Yan Ketao have repeatedly gone to the exit area to deal with it. They would definitely not do that without a reason. But Zuo Zisheng was on guard and placed us far away. I didn't observe closely, so I don't know what happened in the exit area." "Exit, could it be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain..." Gong Shixi muttered to himself and thought about it, then felt that something was not right. At the beginning, Shi Chun and his gang used crooked means to get the clue of the divine fire from him, but later he was sure that they never did that again, otherwise he would not be polite and would have fought back long ago. The problem is, even if the clues are found, the real key is to dig out the hidden divine fire. He also has clues about the divine fire, but what's the use? He is almost going crazy, and he has sent people to other places where there are clues to the divine fire to try to search, but it's all in vain. The cloaked man said: "I don't know either. I'll try to find out when I get back." Gong Shixi nodded and asked, "How many sacred fires did Liantian Sect find?" Cloaked man: "Two flowers, both were absorbed by Zuo Zisheng, what about yours?" Gong Shixi smiled bitterly and said, "One. They say the divine fire is hard to find. I've seen it this time. It's damn hard to find. At the beginning, I found one soon after. I was quite confident. Now I feel like I'm on the verge of going crazy at any time." The cloaked man: "That's great. We can think of a solution with Shi Chun." Gong Shixi was hesitant to talk. He couldn't help others reveal Shi Chun's identity casually. That was the basic rule of the magic way. Both sides were from the magic way and knew each other's identity. What if something unexpected happened and someone was arrested because of his identity? Could you expect them not to give you away? If the other party doesn't know that he is a demon, he can still trick the other party in that way.

"I'll think about it." Gong Shixi changed the subject, "You've been away for so long, you won't be suspected, right?" The cloaked man said, "Fortunately, it is precisely because they have dispersed and are searching everywhere for Shi Chun and his gang that I took this opportunity to come here to let them know." Gong Shixi: "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back early to avoid arousing suspicion. I won't see you off." "Goodbye." The cloaked man bowed his head, turned around and leaped away. Gong Shixi really didn't go to see him off, and it was inconvenient for him to go. Instead, he just stood there silently sighing, still struggling with this matter. He really wished he had not heard the news and was unaware of the situation so that he could continue to busy himself here. As long as he tried his best, the higher-ups would not be able to put all the blame on him after he got out. To a certain extent, he had the same idea as Xu Anchang. In fact, deep down he didn't think there was any possibility of him taking first place. For some things, the limitations are there, and no matter how generous the rewards are, it will be useless. Now, with such news coming out suddenly, how can he continue to survive? "Shichun, Shichun, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for liking to be in the spotlight, don't blame me!" After being silent for a long time, Gong Shixi suddenly murmured a cold laugh, and a fierce look flashed across his face. The reason is simple. What he can't get, he can't let Shi Chun get either. The same principle can also be applied to the three demonic sects. One's own sect may not obtain the 'Broken Blade', but the other two sects must not be allowed to obtain it. It was secretly explained by the higher-ups that whichever lineage holds the 'Broken Blade' will have the chance to command the entire demonic sect. The rest of the meaning is up to you. He turned around and flew back to the Qianyan Sect where the search team was located. He issued an order for everyone to gather and suspend the search for the sacred fire. The main task at present is to spread the news that Shi Chun and Shu Daoshan can find the sacred fire in large quantities and quickly. The first choice is to find undercover people in various factions, and spread the news among the factions with undercovers first, to stir up jealousy or competition among the factions. In short, to use the mouths of various factions to expand the spread of rumors again. Gong Shixi has only one goal, to prevent Shi Chun from winning the championship! The Three Veins Alliance has certain binding force. It is not possible for him to openly kill each other with Shi Chun, so he can only kill with a borrowed knife! He would not regret not cooperating with Shi Chun, because there was no way they could have such cooperation. Dividing the divine fire equally, what a joke? With our backgrounds and relationships, can we get together and have one flower for each of us? Once we cooperate, it means that it will be a life-and-death battle in the end. You are not afraid of Shi Chun, but I am afraid of your Shi Chun, okay? The calmer Shi Chun talked about cooperation, the more afraid Gong Shixi became. Besides, the other party came to him on his own initiative, so I'd better stay away from him. You have no idea why your identity as a demon was exposed to the other party, and the other party even took the initiative to help you design a good way to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Coupled with your reputation as the first in the Tianyu Meteor Conference, it would be strange if you didn't feel uneasy. However, Shi Chun was looking for cooperation with the other two sects because he did not know the true significance of 'Broken Wasteland Blade' to the three sects of the Demonic Path, but it was difficult for the people who knew the truth to tell him. A similar situation also occurred in the gravel wasteland. Recently, masked men also found Wu Shanshan in the Forgetful Valley. That’s right, the group from Wangqing Valley, led by Wu Shanshan, were still trapped in the gravel wasteland, digging and digging. Like Qianyan Sect, they were all pinned down by Shi Chun's tricks, while the other side was working hard to find clues about the divine fire for Shi Chun. In fact, the Siding Sect also meant this. They were trapped in the Iron Forest and kept searching. If there hadn't been a traitor in Shudao Mountain, which led to Wu Jinliang's intervention, they would have been trapped in the Iron Forest until the end of the conference. After Wu Shanshan learned about the situation of Liantian Sect, she immediately gathered people and stopped the search for the divine fire. However, it was different from the situation of Qianyan Sect, because she didn't know the identity of Shi Chun, so she didn't have to play the trick of "if I can't get it, you can't get it either". She wanted to lead people to search for the whereabouts of Shi Chun and his gang, and find the shortcut to win the championship. The three veins of the devil's way were trapped in the same place because of Shichun, and they left the same place because of Shichun. Many things were beyond Shichun's prediction. He was the one who caused the success and the failure. It was the cycle of cause and effect, and the taste of retribution. On the side of Siding Sect, Xu Anchang also saw a masked man who concealed his identity, and also learned about the shocking changes in Liantian Sect.

But he was different from the other two families. He didn't react, but continued to hide as Wu Jinliang said. He therefore understood what Wu Jinliang meant by there being a traitor in the group. He was also curious about how much divine fire Shi Chun and his men had found that was worth the entire Liantian Sect changing direction to pursue it. Just as he was waiting for news, Shi Chun also came to him on his own initiative. As for Shi Chun, the loss of the previous channel for information about the Divine Fire had a great impact on the Mingshan Sect and the Shudaoshan gang. How could he possibly be as efficient as before by searching blindly on his own? Compared to before, he was just busy doing nothing. Even if Shi Chun had super powers in his right eye, it would not work. The world is so big here that even if his blood was abundant, he could not withstand the aimless consumption of the super powers in his right eye. With certain achievements in hand, Shi Chun actually didn't have much motivation anymore, because Gu Lianni and the others had said that with the amount of divine fire that Tong Mingshan had absorbed so far, it wouldn't be a problem for him to get first place. Tong Mingshan also suspected that he might have the ability to win the championship. Losing motivation doesn't mean you have to lie down. To be safe, you still have to look for the sacred fire, but there's no need to do anything too thrilling. For this reason, Shi Chuncai went to meet the people from the Siding Sect specially, because the Siding Sect still had several informants and the contact method of the exit was cut off, so he had to reconnect it. In the second half of the time, it would be enough to get a few more divine fires, and there was no need to be too greedy. The Siding Sect's group hid in a dark cave. As soon as Shi Chun came, Xu Anchang and You Mu immediately pulled him outside to talk. There was nothing else to do. They had to ask clearly what had happened, something that Wu Jinliang had not been able to explain clearly before. Shi Chun directly rejected their inquiries and said, "Don't worry about this. I will officially take over the search for the sacred fire. You just need to cooperate with me." Xu and You were stunned by what they said. Xu Anchang raised his eyebrows and said, "Shichun, you have to understand that the higher-ups want you to cooperate with us!" Shi Chun said calmly: "There is no need to argue about this. I will take all the responsibility for finding the divine fire. If there is any accountability outside, you can put it all on me. Something happened here, as you all know. I don't know which side the traitor belongs to yet, but I estimate that he is quite powerful, so there is no need to involve all of you. You just need to cooperate. Since I was sent here, I have to give an explanation to them. If there is any danger, I will stand in front and you will be the backup. If anything unexpected happens, I will hand Tong Mingshan over to you. You must find a way to protect Tong Mingshan and ensure that he leaves the Divine Fire Region safely. " Before, he would never have said that he took on the responsibility of finding the divine fire. Now he really has the confidence to pat his chest. Are ten divine fires enough to prove that I have tried my best? Do the magicians of Lan'er's lineage dare to say that they didn't try their best? If they don't follow my way, how can they achieve this result? Now, in front of Modao, he dared to bang the table and argue, and the people on the opposite side of the table had to remain silent. Xu Anchang and You Mu were almost moved by what he said. What about "I'll stand in front of the danger and you guys hide behind"? This sense of responsibility made them recall the reason why the higher-ups sent this person here. Of course, I would also wonder in my heart, how could such a morally corrupt person coming out of the land of exile have such awareness? He was definitely suspicious, so Xu Anchang couldn't help but ask, "How much divine fire has Tong Mingshan absorbed now?" Shi Chun looked around and said softly, "There are currently ten." "How much?" Xu Anchang was speechless. You Mu was also shocked and thought he had heard it wrong. Shi Chun gestured with his hands and said again, "Ten." Xu and You couldn't help but take a breath of cold air with a hissing sound, and then quickly exhaled the poisonous gas, and then quickly took out the ice sheep to catch their breath. You Mu put down the ice sheep and asked, "How did you get so much divine fire?" Shi Chun: "I'm sorry I can't tell you."

Xu Anchang was a little anxious, "Shichun, what on earth are you doing? You are hiding everything from us. What do you want to do?" Shi Chun asked back, "Why do you insist on finding out such a secret? To be honest, I was planning to tell you. After a traitor appeared in Shudao Mountain, I was reminded. You are so eager to find out the secrets, I have to be on guard. If there is a problem with you, would you leak it easily if it were you?" Xu Anchang was speechless, and finally smiled bitterly: "Don't you even believe in the two of us?" Shi Chun: "Does it matter whether I believe you or not? Tong Mingshan has already absorbed ten sacred fires, and the mission assigned by the higher-ups is close to success. This is the best explanation for you. You don't need to doubt me or pry into any secrets. I will explain myself after we get out." These words really left the two speechless. The other party had already obtained ten divine fires, so it was not their turn to worry that the other party would not do their best in the task. Shi Chun continued, "Also, listen to me. You are my last strength, my last trump card. I will not use you unless it is absolutely necessary. If it really comes to the last resort, you must come and fight for me. Otherwise, the higher-ups will not let you go after you get out!" These words made Xu and You's expressions slightly stiff. They both cursed his ancestors in their hearts. "We've gotten into such trouble as the Liantian Sect, and now you want us to prepare to fight to the death?" The problem is, if they really reach that critical point, they will have to fight hard, otherwise the higher-ups will not let them off after they get out. Deep down in their hearts, they wanted to get away with this competition, but now they are forced into no way out. Many times, grades are really the key to speaking, and only with grades can you have the right to speak. At this point, the two could only hope that the first place winner of the Sky Rain Meteor Conference and his ability to obtain ten sacred fires would help. Xu Anchang did not hide anything and quickly added some information to the other party, "The undercover agent in Shudao Mountain is called Yan Ketao, right? He was sent by the Liantian Sect. The one who wants to investigate you is the Liantian Sect, the largest sect in the weapon refining world. The leader is called Zuo Zisheng." Shi Chun was surprised and asked, "How do you know it's someone from the Liantian Sect?" Xu Anchang was a little hesitant. He originally didn't intend to expose himself easily, but after thinking about it, he still revealed: "We also have an undercover agent in Liantian Sect. He came to reveal the information before." Shi Chun glared at him, "You have an undercover agent in Liantian Sect, but you didn't tell me before?" Xu An sighed and said, "Do you think it is appropriate to use the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain on the Liantian Sect?" Shi Chun: "What's inappropriate about that? It was used against Shu Dao Mountain just the same. If you don't tell me, the loss is the divine fire!" Xu Anchang said confidently: "I didn't think it was appropriate, so I didn't tell you at the time. Fortunately, I didn't tell you. Otherwise, with the undercover agents of Liantian Sect in Shudao Mountain, who knows what would happen. You should thank me." "Stop talking nonsense here. With the Liantian Sect, there are naturally other ways to go. You are delaying me a lot. Forget it. There is no point in talking about this now." Shi Chun waved his hand and stopped talking. He asked: "Tell me honestly, do you have undercovers in other sects? It's already like this, don't hide it from me anymore." Xu An sighed and said, "Really? There are no more. Actually, Liantian Sect didn't have any undercover agents originally. Even if there were any, they might not have had the chance to get in. Anyway, they were not the undercover agents we had planted earlier. It was purely because of this victory that the Liantian Sect, the largest sect in the weapon refining world, was too eye-catching, and the higher-ups felt it necessary to pay special attention to it. To this end, the higher-ups tried every possible means to screen out potential targets from among the participants of the Liantian Sect, seize their weaknesses, and threaten and control them. This matter has been specifically explained, and we were told to use it with caution. After all, we can't guarantee that it won't get out of control, and we're also worried that it will get out of control if used too much." (End of this chapter)
