Chapter 259 Substitution
Chase? How to chase? The disciples of Siding Sect who came over were also hesitant. They could kill Feng Yaoyang, so would it be appropriate for him to chase after him alone?
But he had no choice but to give chase. It was not right to ignore the killing of his fellow disciples, not to mention that ten elders were watching helplessly. The Siding Sect disciple was in such a dilemma that he could only ride on the wind scales again and head towards the direction where the murderer fled. As for whether he could or would catch up with him, only God knew.
Shi Chun and Wu Jin looked at each other, seemingly relieved, and quickly ran to the front of the ten elders, bowed their hands and apologized together.
"We are being chased and have no choice but to hide in this precious place. We are sorry to bother you seniors and we two juniors are rude." Shi Chun said politely.
Wu Jinliang just needs to follow the salute. Anyway, the boss likes to act polite and he can't speak fancy words. If the boss can speak, just say more and help him speak together.
The ten elders also knew these two guys. They had seen them at the entrance of the mountain of Qiyun Valley.
The ten of them have their own responsibilities and restrictions. They supervise each other and are not allowed to participate in the competition among the various factions, for fear that they will abuse their power for personal gain and help the disciples of their own faction.
Without a serious reason that all ten of them agree on, the ten of them cannot even leave the mountain.
However, an elder couldn't help but speak up, "Whenever you encounter trouble, you hide here with us and use us as shields. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Shi Chun said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
You are right, we just won't leave.
Although the two men retreated a little after being scolded, they only moved down a slope. They continued to stay under the noses of the ten elders, looking afraid of death.
On the other side, the disciples of the Siding Sect who discovered that Feng Yaoyang was dead were shocked and began to run around to inform their fellow disciples and connect with each other everywhere.
Soon, Xu Anchang and others arrived at the murder scene one after another.
Xu Anchang, who was squatting in front of Feng Yaoyang's body, was really shocked. The person that the Demonic Path was counting on to win the championship is gone?
He finally yelled, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. I saw people fighting. Someone was chasing Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang. The two were chased in that direction." Someone pointed in a direction and said.
Someone else is chasing Shi Chun? Xu Anchang became more and more suspicious. He immediately dispatched his men and horses, and then personally drove Fenglin to lead a group of people to track down the indicated direction.
Occasionally, he met people and fellow disciples from the Mingshan Sect on the way, and he would stop to ask them. With their guidance, he naturally found the hill guarded by the ten elders.
Without caring about the ten elders, Xu Anchang and his men landed directly in front of Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang, and urgently asked: "Brother Chun, what's going on?"
Shi Chun said with a gloomy face: "What else could it be? So many people saw us. We were chased all the way."
Xu Anchang asked: "Why was Feng Yaoyang killed?"
Shi Chun said in a deep voice: "The murderer should be coming for us, otherwise he wouldn't have chased us. If it weren't for Brother Feng and another brother intervening, we would have no chance to escape. The murderer is very strong, and it is us who implicated Brother Feng and another brother."
He turned his head to look at the ten elders who were looking down at the people below, and sighed, "It was very dangerous. If the ten elders hadn't frightened the murderer, our lives would have been in danger."
Wu Jinliang nodded repeatedly, "It's too dangerous. Fortunately, we are close to the ten elders."
Xu Anchang and others looked at the elders above, and then they realized why Shi Chun and the other two were hiding here.
Shi Chun then asked Xu Anchang, "Someone from your Four Ding Sect rode the Wind Scale to chase the murderer. Did they gain anything?"
Just as he finished speaking, another person came riding on the wind scale. It was Tong Mingshan, and he brought Chu Jingtang and a few others with him. The people from the Mingshan Sect had not arrived yet, so they probably didn't meet up.
Xu Anchang was shocked and didn't care about Tong Mingshan and the others. He asked anxiously, "Have any of us gone to chase the murderer? How many people are chasing him?"
Shi Chun glanced at Tong Mingshan and the others, and replied, "We only saw one person, riding the Wind Scale and chasing after him."
Xu Anchangdun's face was filled with worry. He couldn't help but be worried. Feng Yaoyang was very powerful, and he had strong guards as well. Now they were all killed. Would it be enough for one person to go?
However, there is no point in worrying now. No one knows where the person has gone. The Divine Fire Domain is such a ghost place, and the mother-child talisman is useless, so there is no way to contact him.
He could only face reality and asked Shi Chun again, "Do you know who the murderer is?"
Shi Chun said in a deep voice: "Although the murderer is masked, I can guess who he is."
Xu Anchang: "Hurry up and tell me."
Shi Chun: "There are four weapon-refining sects from Shengzhou on the east and Shengshenzhou participating in the meeting, namely Tianluo Sect, Fengluo Sect, Lianling Fort, and Qixing Island. There is no doubt that the murderer must be someone from one of them."
Xu Anchang asked: "What do you mean?"
Shi Chun: "This is a long story. In short, it is related to Wukang Mountain where I was before. After the Tianyu Liuxing Conference, the largest sect in Shengzhou, Jieyun Mountain, wanted to swallow Wukang Mountain. At the critical moment, I asked for a talisman from the Lord of Shengzhou, which led to the humiliation of Jieyun Mountain, who came to my door and was aggressive.
I knew that Jieyun Mountain would not let me go, so after arriving at the capital of Shengshenzhou, I did not dare to go out for more than half a year.
I thought that after so much time, Jieyunshan's anger should have subsided and he would not continue to pick on a small figure like me. However, not long after I arrived at Lihuo Island, I found that people from Jieyunshan were chasing me. Fortunately, I was warned and Jieyunshan did not dare to cause trouble on Lihuo Island.
But before I entered the Divine Fire Region, I had received reliable information that Jieyun Mountain had summoned the heads of the four sects and wanted them to hunt me down in the Divine Fire Region. I thought the weapon refining sects were more concerned about finding the Divine Fire and would not waste time on me. Now it seems that I was too optimistic. After all, Jieyun Mountain is the largest sect in Shengzhou, so it must have put some pressure on the four sects. "
After these words were spoken, everyone in the Siding Sect was shocked and confused. Were they implicated like this?
The ten elders on the mountain looked at each other. They thought it would be boring to stay here, but they didn't expect that they could watch the fun while sitting here and encounter such a fancy thing.
However, Chu Jingtang and his gang looked at each other secretly, and glanced at Tong Mingshan more secretly.
Xu Anchang frowned in deep thought, then suddenly raised his eyes, stared into Shi Chun's eyes and asked, "Why are you two with Senior Brother Feng?"
Shi Chun suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Anchang pressed his hand and said, "Don't think too much. I just want to know, if Senior Brother Feng doesn't get along with you, why would he stay with you and help you?"
Shi Chun took a deep breath and said, "Because when we were searching everywhere in the sky, we found traces of the divine fire and wanted to find you. We just happened to see him on the road and wanted to ease the relationship, so we went over to talk to him. I didn't expect this to happen."
As soon as these words came out, the group of people instantly forgot about Feng Yaoyang's death. Xu Anchang asked anxiously, "Brother Chun, have you really found the trace of the divine fire?"
Not to mention them, even the ten elders on the mountain instantly became alert and looked at Shi Chun eagerly.
All ten of them had entered the Divine Fire Realm in the previous session, and had all obtained the Divine Fire by chance. They knew how difficult it was to find the Divine Fire. They didn't expect that this group of people would make a discovery as soon as they entered.
It should be noted that every time the Divine Fire Covenant is opened, at most only hundreds of people can gain something, and most of the time only dozens of people have that opportunity.
It is no exaggeration to say that this opportunity is one in a thousand.
Some people in the Siding Sect were particularly excited. Now that Feng Yaoyang was dead, who would get the chance to absorb the divine fire?
Chu Jingtang and his gang remained silent, not knowing how their boss's lie would end.
Shi Chun said calmly: "I can't guarantee that it is the divine fire, but it is indeed possible that the location of the divine fire has been discovered."
Xu Anchang looked at everyone, then looked at the ten elders on the mountain, and immediately extended his hand and said, "Brother Chun, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
He waved to You Mu, indicating that he should come over.
Shi Chun did not resist and followed him to another mountain that was lower than his.
Without anyone around, Xu Anchang asked in a low voice: "Have you really found the trace of the divine fire?"
Shi Chun: "Brother Xu, I feel like something is wrong with you. We both know what we are here for. Why do you keep questioning me?"
Xu Anchang: "Aren't I here to confirm with you? Have you really discovered the divine fire?"
Shi Chun: "I don't know if it's the divine fire or not. I found an abnormal red light flickering in the molten lava area. Now I ask you, do you think it's the divine fire?"
Xu Anchang: "Do you remember where it is? Can you still find it?"
Shi Chun: "Nonsense, it's so important, how could I not remember the place? Now let's call everyone to go and take a look and we'll know."
Hearing this, Xu An was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at You Mu and asked, "If it is really the divine fire, what should we do?"
You Mu frowned and said nothing.
Shi Chun: "What else can we do? There are so many of you. Why don't we just get someone else to absorb it? If you don't absorb it, I still have three people who can absorb it. They are probably waiting for it. Didn't you see that they looked at me with resentment just now? If you don't go to investigate, then I can only take them there."
Xu Anchang suddenly asked him, "Brother Chun, if Tong Mingshan absorbs the divine fire, do you think he will listen to you after he gets out?"
Shi Chun was happy, "Why, you, the Four Ding Sect, still want to let outsiders absorb it..." After saying this, he was surprised and asked in doubt, "What do you mean?"
Xu Anchang nodded slowly, "Let him compete for the first place."
"No." Shi Chun waved his hand and rejected it. "It's true that he listens to me now, but if he really absorbs the divine fire and becomes strong, I have no idea whether he will still listen to me after he goes out. I can even be sure that if he has a better future, it's unlikely that he will listen to me again. If he absorbs it, it will be bad. You should find someone who can be controlled from your Four Ding Sect. I don't want to take the responsibility."
You Mu said, "Brother Chun, the question now is which of our two groups has the best chance of winning after absorbing the divine fire. The most important thing is how to complete the instructions from above and achieve the goal of winning. It doesn't matter which side absorbs the divine fire."
Xu Anchang added: "Tong Mingshan has absorbed the divine fire. After he gets out, he won't even give up the chance to participate in the competition, right?"
Shi Chun said nothing.
Xu Anchang: "It doesn't matter whether he listens to you in the future or not. After he gets out, if he wins the competition, with your ability, it shouldn't be a problem to control him for a short period of time, right? It should be enough for us to act and it should be convenient for us to get the things. As for what he will do in the future, it doesn't matter."
Shi Chun hesitated and said, "If that's the case, it should be fine. He knows that I have a good relationship with Young Master Nan, so he shouldn't dare to act rashly in the short term. Tong Mingshan has the divine fire to absorb, so he must be happy, but have you ever thought about it? With so many people in your Four Ding Sect, is it appropriate to give the opportunity to an outsider? There are seven of you who are not on the same path as us, and they will never agree."
Xu Anchang said indifferently: "Now that things have come to this, it's simple. Just make them disappear completely!"
Shi Chun raised his hand and touched his forehead and remained silent. Others had said everything he wanted to say, so what else could he say?
If the other party doesn't say those words, he will find a way to say them. If the other party says them, he doesn't need to say them.
