Chapter 403 Rumors are not credible Elder Li Qianqiu, who was listening in on the questioning, naturally knew what the elders from other sects meant by asking such questions. The role of the elders sent by each sect to take charge was to safeguard the interests of their own sect and guard against other sects breaking the rules and taking advantage. After hearing this, he naturally understood the purpose of Li Hongjiu's inquiries about the whereabouts of Yanbao Sect's disciples. He simply wanted to take the opportunity to find the four sects that Shi Chun mentioned in order to catch the murderer who killed Yanbao Sect's disciples. A big sect has its own majesty. How can anyone dare to touch its disciples? Especially when he is in charge, if anyone dares to touch his disciples, isn't that a slap in his face? Not to mention that Li Hongjiu didn't want to let the murderer go, he also wanted to have an explanation to the people of Yanbao Sect when he returned. Although he didn't take good care of his disciples, the murderer had been killed! There was admiration in his eyes as he looked at Li Hongjiu. There was no doubt that this disciple was smart, but he just didn't use his intelligence in the right place. Gong Shixi, who had been watching Li Hongjiu's movements from time to time, did not have any suspicions. He had been questioned by Li Hongjiu before and knew what Li Hongjiu was asking. He just felt a little emotional. The difference between people was really huge. This guy's cultivation talent was top-notch in the entire cultivation world, not to mention in the weapon refining world. It is conceivable that once the exit of the Divine Fire Domain is opened, this guy will become famous in all realms. In addition, he comes from a famous and upright family, and is the last disciple of the sect leader. He has a solid background to protect him in the sect, so his future is limitless. He is extremely envied by people like him who come from a shady background. If he can live an upright life, who would want to be sneaky? After searching around the exit, Li Hongjiu did not find any disciples from the Tianluo Sect, Fengluo Sect, Lianling Fort, or Qixing Island. Looking at the situation at the scene, he estimated that they had not arrived yet. He had no choice but to return to where he sat cross-legged to continue healing... Shi Chun, who had been hiding in the dark for a while, looked at the mask on his body, and finally climbed out and climbed to the top of a hill nearby. Under the starry sky, he found a stone to sit on, and looked at the highest peak in the direction of the exit from afar.

After thinking for a long time, the sound of footsteps made him look back, and he saw Tong Mingshan and others also climbing up. Although they were all dressed in masked clothes, he could still recognize them at a glance, especially Wu Jinliang's figure, the mask was just a decoration. A group of people came up to him, hesitating and not knowing what to say, while Wu Jinliang was chuckling beside them. Shi Chun asked curiously, "What's the matter?" Seeing the group's hopeless appearance, Wu Jinliang spoke up in the end, "Chuntian, they want to remind you. They said that they thought about it carefully and felt that the factions guarding the exit would not let us out. If they let us out, I'm afraid it was because the factions reached a consensus to take us out." Obviously, everyone found Wu Jinliang and talked about this first. After hearing this, the group of people nodded, indicating that this was what they meant. Only the masked Zhen'er seemed to be in deep thought and remained silent. Tong Mingshan also said, "Boss, we know that you have a good relationship with Master Nan, and we also know that Master Nan has a wide network of contacts. As long as you go out, Master Nan will probably help you. But I'm afraid that it's not just us who know about this. The major sects may also know about it. In order to obtain the secret method of finding the divine fire, will they use some kind of deception?" Haoji said: "That's right, the import and export are all under the control of those big sects, they can completely prevent Master Nan from knowing that we went out." An Wuzhi said solemnly, "After the exit was closed, they said they didn't see us go out. In other words, they couldn't let us show up again, and they couldn't let the secret method of finding the sacred fire expand the scope of people who knew about it." The implication is simple and everyone can understand it, which is that they will not be left alive. Zhu Xiangxin also said solemnly: "Boss, you may not know the temptation of finding the secret method of the divine fire to those weapon-refining sects. They are definitely capable of doing such a thing." "Yes." "Yes, it can be done." Faced with a group of worried eyes, Shi Chun glanced at everyone one by one. He could completely understand their worries. They all had their own ideas. It would be abnormal if they didn't think too much and worry when it came to the most critical moment of getting out. However, he still smiled and joked, "When Li Hongjiu was captured before and he offered the conditions to help us get out, you didn't say that. You all advised me to cooperate with him. What, have you thought it through now?" This made the group feel somewhat embarrassed. Without waiting for them to say anything else, Shi Chun waved his hand and stopped them, saying, "Don't worry, if I say we can get out, we can get out naturally. As for how to get out, I can't tell you now, because you can't guarantee that everyone can hold on and not speak after an accident. This is the guarantee for whether everyone can get out alive. Do you understand what I mean?" Everyone looked at each other, and naturally understood the meaning of "secrecy is the key to success". Since this person already knew the situation, they didn't say anything more. After all, they really couldn't think of a proper way to leave.

"Okay, don't worry. If the boss says we can go out, we can definitely go out. A group of masked people gathering here will be too conspicuous." Wu Jinliang smiled and waved to everyone. He knew this was the case. Chuntian would keep it a secret even from him, so how could he tell anyone else? So everyone went down the mountain again. Zhen'er didn't leave. Instead, she squeezed in and sat next to Shi Chun, hugged Shi Chun's arm, and rested her head on his shoulder. Wu Jinliang ignored her and asked, "Chuntian, when do you think Li Hongjiu can get someone here?" Shi Chun said calmly, "It shouldn't be that fast. He may not be able to find anyone in the last one or two days. Regardless of whether the various factions can find the sacred fire or not, I'm afraid it would be a bad idea to stop working too early. It might be hard to explain when they return." "Yeah, we have to wait a bit." Wu Jinliang said as he glanced at the woman leaning on Shi Chun. He was thinking about a question. After getting this woman out, how would Chuntian explain to Xiang Lan'er? He kept saying that he loved Xiang Lan'er to death, but he did this just by coming in? He estimated that after Zhen'er left, she would no longer be of any use and would most likely be beaten to her original form and absorbed by Tong Mingshan and others. This would also give an explanation to Mo Dao and Xiang Lan'er. Thinking of this, he turned around and left. The starlight and the shadowy rolling mountains depict the other side of light and darkness. Shi Chun looked at the people around him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out?" Zhen Er seemed very relieved. "Since you said we can go out, I'm not afraid. After we go out, we'll have kids. How many do you want to have?" Shi Chun was speechless. Where was the egg? Perhaps that 'Su' didn't tell her that a fire spirit like her couldn't have children with a human. She said perfunctorily, "You can have as many children as you want." Zhen'er immediately said happily: "The more the better..." Shi Chun listened to her chattering about her beautiful future somewhat absentmindedly. The passage to the outside world will be opened on the last day and will last for a whole day. When the last day is approaching, as Shi Chun expected, people from various factions come back one after another, and Li Hongjiu finally finds the people from the four sects that Shi Chun mentioned. The disciples of Fengluo Sect were found. All of them were intact, not a single one was missing, a total of twenty people. Li Hongjiu was too lazy to compare with the other three sects. He found the Fengluo Sect and communicated with it directly. The leader of the Fengluo sect's disciples was called Feng Zhuoyi. Although he had not led the team to participate in the previous fight between the various sects and Shi Chun, he had met other sects and heard about Li Hongjiu's amazing deeds. In addition, with his status and position, when Li Hongjiu asked him to do a little favor, he gladly agreed and was willing to make friends with him. As for Li Hongjiu's claim of rewarding with divine fire, he was skeptical. How could divine fire be given easily? He didn't believe that Yanbao Sect had so much divine fire that they could easily give it to outsiders. After Li Hongjiu thanked him, when the other party was about to turn around and take his people away, he suddenly asked, "Brother Feng, are you familiar with the people in Jieyun Mountain?" Feng Zhuo was slightly startled when he heard this, and then denied it, "I know, but I'm not familiar with him." Li Hongjiu: "Before you came in, did Jieyunshan tell you something?" As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Zhuoyi's face suddenly changed, and he was secretly shocked. The sect would not tell everyone about that matter, and warned him not to get involved easily if someone wanted to do that. It was also because of the sect's instructions that he did not get involved when he heard that various sects were hunting down Shi Chun. Because he suspected that it was just as the sect said, someone wanted to harm Shi Chun and was deliberately instigating him, otherwise how could he find hundreds of divine fires. The sect only secretly informed him of this matter and did not even tell other fellow disciples. He didn't know how Li Hongjiu knew about it. How could he admit it so easily? Naturally, he immediately pretended to be confused and said, "Forgive my ignorance, I don't know what Brother Li means by this." When Li Hongjiu saw his instant reaction, she knew that what Shi Chun said must be true. In fact, he was just testing the waters, because he found that the number of Fengluo Sect members was intact, which did not seem like they were going to hunt down Shi Chun. Besides, he was already wary of Shi Chun, worried that there was a trap and that he would be used by Shi Chun, so he was definitely testing the waters. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Brother Feng, don't be nervous. I just heard about it. I don't mean anything else. I'm sure you have heard about the grudge between me and Shi Chun. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable asking Brother Feng for help." Feng Zhuo thought about it and realized that it was true. Although he didn't know where the other party heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said vaguely, "We have no grudges against Shi Chun, and the rumors are not credible."

"Understood." Li Hongjiu said with a smile, and bowed, "Thank you very much." So Feng Zhuoyi took his men and left. Originally, he planned to take everyone with him, but because of Li Hongjiu's test, he felt a little uneasy, so he ordered five people to stay behind. In case of any changes, someone could spread the word and let the sect know. After watching the group leave, Li Hongjiu just returned to the place where he was sitting cross-legged in meditation, when he glanced at Gong Shixi and his group leaving, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Soon, another disciple from a certain sect came to find him and whispered, "Sir, I have followed your instructions and accidentally let them know." Li Hongjiu knew that the matter was done without him saying anything. She nodded slightly to thank him and pointed at each other, meaning that you know it, I know it, and no one else can know it. People from many sects have returned, and there are many sects that are on good terms with Yanbao Sect, so it is easy for Li Hongjiu to find people to help him with some small favors. After making sure that Gong Shixi and his gang had gone far away, he did not stay there. Taking the opportunity to stroll around, he quietly left to report to Shi Chun. Since he wanted to expose the murderer, he must go and see it with his own eyes and hear it with his own ears. He couldn't let others say whatever they wanted, especially someone as treacherous as Shi Chun. (End of this chapter)
