Chapter 255: How High Can You Blow
With that said, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang finally understood. It was indeed unlikely that too many people would come in from the Demonic Path. After all, the entire cultivation world was so large, and the Demonic Path could not put most of its energy into running the equipment refining business.
But the two of them knew very well that there were more people from the evil sect who came in than just the ones the other party mentioned.
The reason Wu Jinliang disappeared before was to find out which sect the other two teams of magicians were from.
Shi Chun asked again: "Could it be that the higher-ups have arranged for other people to come in without telling you?"
Xu Anchang gently waved his hand, "Absolutely impossible. In this kind of situation, the only way to concentrate all our strength on one point and let the divine fire be concentrated on one person is to compete with those top weapon-refining sects and have a chance of winning. If we disperse our efforts, we will have no chance of winning. There is no need to come in and do this."
Shi Chun had to admit that what the other party said still made sense, but what his right eye could see could not be wrong, so there were only two possibilities: either the other party really didn't know, or he was lying.
Since the other party refused to admit it, there was no point in arguing. He immediately changed the subject, "You just said that the main purpose of our coming here this time was to get the 'Broken Wasteland Blade'?"
Xu Anchang was stunned, "You don't know?"
For a moment, I was a little worried that I had said too much.
Shi Chun thought that even Feng Chi and the others said they didn't know, so how could I know? He shook his head and said, "No one told me, they just said I had to win the championship."
Xu Anchang hesitated and said, "Actually, it means winning the first prize. It's hard to get the 'Broken Wasteland Blade' if you don't win the first prize."
Shi Chun was puzzled, "When did the demons become so polite? In order to get something, they actually wronged themselves so much. Isn't it okay to steal or rob outside?"
Xu Anchang was amused by him. "If you can steal and rob anything, you would have been a great man long ago. Don't you think about who has the thing? If it is in the hands of a top-level weapon-refining sect, how can the treasures of a top-level weapon-refining sect be so easy to steal and rob?
Since there is this competition, we must seize this opportunity. If we really can't get it, it won't be too late to prepare for the snatch later. Besides, we have to compete. If we don't come to snatch it, once it is snatched away by the other two families, we will have no chance to rob or steal it later."
"The other two?" Shi Chun was surprised, then he came to his senses and asked, "Are you talking about the other two sects of the Demonic Path?"
Xu An nodded: "Who else could it be besides those two veins?"
Shi Chundun and Wu Jin looked at each other and suddenly understood what was going on with the two teams of demons.
The two were also surprised by this. They wondered what the broken blade was used for that was worth the three sects of the demonic sect fighting for it.
Wu Jinliang couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the Desolate Blade used for?"
Xu Anchang shook his head and said, "I don't know. We are just following orders."
In fact, he knew clearly in his heart that it was related to the opening of the Demon Altar, but he would not reveal a single word about the Demon Altar to the outside world.
Shi Chun and the other person looked at each other again, and they knew in their hearts that there must be some important secret in this, otherwise the three sects of the demonic sect would not have been alarmed to come and fight for it.
The other party didn't say anything, so Shi Chun didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject, "What are we going to do next? Who are you going to let represent the Four Ding Sect to win the championship?"
Xu Anchang: "Feng Yaoyang is the most outstanding disciple in the high martial arts realm of the Four Ding Sect. His cultivation has reached the highest level. His weapon refining skills and talent are also the best among his peers. He is the best candidate to help the Four Ding Sect win the championship. The purpose of our operation this time is to help him absorb more divine fire. On the surface, he is also our leader."
It's enough to know who it is. As for the rest, Shi Chun didn't care: "Okay, let's discuss how to merge the two teams."
Xu Anchang: "This is also the most crucial thing to discuss with you. After the two teams are integrated, you may have to suffer some grievances. On the surface, Feng Yaoyang is our leader, and we all have to listen to him."
Shi Chun was suspicious, "On the surface? What do you mean?"
Xu Anchang said helplessly: "He is a disciple of the Four Ding Sect, but he is not one of us. He does not know our identities. In name, he is the leader, and we have to listen to him. How can I describe him? He is arrogant and a bit stubborn."
"..." Shi Chun opened his mouth and was speechless, a little bit unbelievable.
Wu Jinliang couldn't help but criticize, "Isn't it a bit too hasty? To do something like this, what do you want from a leader like this?"
Xu Anchang smiled bitterly, "There is nothing we can do about it. The situation came very suddenly and the conditions are limited. Otherwise, we wouldn't have brought you in to help. It shows that the higher-ups really couldn't find a more suitable candidate at the moment, and he is the most likely to help us win the championship. This is the most important thing."
Shi Chun: "Aren't you in control of the Siding Sect?"
Since the Four Ding Sect had been exposed, Xu Anchang had no need to hide it from him. "Yes, they are under control. Most of them are our people, but not all of them. Some people are not suitable to be recruited, and we need some innocent people to cover up, especially Feng Yaoyang's personality. If we recruit him, something bad will happen. Such people can only be used, not accomplices."
Shi Chun pointed at the two of them and said, "Aren't you disciples of weapon refinement? You can refine weapons, so why do you need something that could cause harm? Can you resist absorbing the divine fire?"
You Mu, who had been silent the whole time, patted his abdomen and said, "The divine fire and the devil's essence counteract each other and will burn the devil's essence."
Watching him patting his belly, Shi Chun roughly understood what the magic element was. It should be what he called the magic flame. He didn't expect that it would counteract the divine fire.
What else can we do in this case? We can only make do with it.
After the two sides finalized the details of the cooperation between the two teams, they agreed on a meeting place and parted ways.
Chu Jingtang and others who were hiding in the mountains and waiting were relieved to see Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang finally return. They felt that their departure seemed a bit abnormal before.
Not long after he came in, he left his accomplices and went on the move. Is this normal?
The three people who practiced fire-based skills were even more anxious. If Shi Chun hadn't been able to hold back, they would have run off to look for the divine fire. Seeing the two of them coming back, Tong Mingshan couldn't hold back any longer, "Boss, let's hurry up and look for it. I really don't want to come in for nothing."
Chu Jingtang and several others who had not practiced fire-based exercises did not take it seriously. They had no interest in finding any divine fire. They just wanted to come in and see for themselves. It would be safest for them to guard the exit and accompany the ten elders. There was no need to risk their lives for this.
To be honest, if the boss hadn't forced me to come in, no one would have come.
Shi Chun patted Tong Mingshan on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "Master Tong, don't worry. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. We have no clues in the vast Divine Fire Region. It may not be easy to find them with just our few people. We just went to find some accomplices for you. It's called the Four Ding Sect. Two teams will play together."
Helper? Si Ding Sect? Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. What the hell?
Chu Jingtang asked doubtfully, "Big Boss, Brother Tong, no, if Sect Master Tong wants to absorb the divine fire, it would be inappropriate to partner with someone else, right? If the divine fire is really found, I'm afraid it won't be Sect Master's turn to absorb it."
"Yes, yes." The others nodded in agreement.
Tong Mingshan also waved his hand and said, "Boss, we can't cooperate on this matter. Even if we are from the same sect, we may turn against each other when faced with the temptation of the divine fire."
Shi Chun patted his shoulder again and said, "Alright, I have my own plan for this matter, just follow my instructions."
He turned to face everyone and said, "Before the two teams join forces, there are two things I need to tell you. First, our sect master's situation needs to change. Although he was born as a disciple of Bailian Sect, he is not an ordinary Bailian Sect disciple. He needs to be praised as the most outstanding disciple with the best talent in refining in Bailian Sect. Don't be stingy, praise him as much as you can."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Tong Mingshan felt embarrassed and said awkwardly: "It's not necessary, not really necessary. Although I am still okay among my peers in Bailian Sect, I can't be said to be the best in terms of talent for refining weapons."
Wu Jinliang chuckled, "You can't be modest about this. You must not be polite when you shouldn't be modest. It's one thing for us to brag for you, but you have to brag about yourself even more. I don't know what a master of refining equipment is like, but you have to pretend to be that kind of person anyway."
Shi Chun also said: "Master, if you want to absorb the divine fire, don't be shy. Bailian Sect allows you to lead the team to participate in the Tianyu Liuxing Conference. You shouldn't be a pedantic person."
Tong Mingshan was obviously excited and asked in confusion: "Can I absorb the divine fire by blowing this?"
Shi Chun winked at him and said, "How do you know if you don't try? I'm just asking you if you want to absorb the divine fire. If you do, stop talking nonsense and do as I say. How can I harm you?"
So Tong Mingshan kept silent.
Shi Chun then said to everyone, "The second thing is, after we become partners, we have to put up with everyone for the time being and respect the Four Ding Sect..."
At the seaside, on the deck of a large ship as luxurious as a palace, Master Nan was lying lazily basking in the sun.
A man suddenly came over quickly, half-knelt beside him, and whispered softly: "Sir, the three houses you are looking for have been found. There is a chance to approach them at any time."
Young Master Nan opened his eyes, propped himself up and stood up, turned around and looked at the coast, and said with a smile: "In this case, let's go for a walk."
After saying this, he flew off the boat and headed for the shore, and the man followed him.
The Wancaotang group is temporarily free now. Given the current situation, there is no need for everyone to keep an eye on them.
Therefore, Sect Leader Ao Hongyou and his entourage took a rare leisure time to stroll along the beautiful coastline.
When I walked to a patch of plants by the sea, I suddenly heard someone talking behind me.
"Master Nan, it is said that you were the one who got that group from Mingshan Sect into the Divine Fire Region. Is that true?"
"Why are you asking this? What if I put it in there? What if I didn't put it in there?"
"No, we just want to know why you brought them in?"
"During the Rain of Meteors event, if it weren't for Shi Chun and the others messing around, I would have lost a lot of money on my bet. The same goes for letting them in when the Divine Fire Territory opens the bet this time."
"Oh, I see. Let them mess things up. But with just a few of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to accomplish anything in this Divine Fire Region!"
"That's not my concern. I spent so much money to get them in. If they can't play a role, none of them will survive. I guarantee that no one can save them!"
Hearing this, Ao Hongyou and his group looked at each other in bewilderment, and moved to the edge of the vegetation with the sound of the waves. They peeked over there and saw that on a wooden platform not far away, Master Nan was sitting at a table with a few others, basking in the sun, drinking and chatting leisurely.
Ao Hongyou and his group did not approach and quietly retreated.
Soon, someone else ran up to Master Nan and whispered something to him, so Master Nan got up and left, moving on to the next place.
Not long after, similar conversation scenes were played out again at Suzaku Pavilion and Bailian Sect.
Afterwards, someone asked Master Nan what this meant, and Master Nan said that he didn't know either. In fact, he really didn't know why he did this.
