Chapter 277 Taking Advantage of the Situation
He had been to the exit and was back just now? Shi Chun and An Wuzhi were surprised. It was impossible. After all, the distance was there.
"Hurry up, the people from Shudao Mountain are chasing us!" Chu Jingtang shouted urgently.
Shi Chun and An Wuzhi looked behind him, and sure enough, there was a faint shadow of a person rushing towards them in the distant red sky.
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. The three men immediately dodged and ran away. Chu Jingtang rode the wind scales and swept the two of them away in a hurry.
However, the divine fire in An Wuzhi's hand was too obvious in this dim environment, and the pursuers behind him suddenly emitted a stream of light that shot up into the sky.
Bang! There was an explosion high in the sky.
Shi Chun and the other two looked back, and saw that the flames from the explosion had ignited the dark clouds in the sky. The large clouds were rendered brilliant like the rising sun, which lasted for a long time before a little light and shadow fell, and the vast light was extinguished.
This scene made the three of them feel uneasy.
Sure enough, after a while, they saw a group of people flying quickly in front of them. In such dim light, they were heading towards them with a clear goal.
Shi Chun suddenly realized something and said in a deep voice: "Quickly release the divine fire!"
"Ah?" An Wuzhi was shocked. He was unwilling to give up the divine fire he had obtained easily.
Seeing that he was unwilling to let go, Shi Chun urged him again: "Our light is too bright, we can't get away."
Chu Jingtang also shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and throw away the divine fire!"
An Wuzhi still finds it hard to let go.
By the time he made up his mind, it was too late.
During such a high-speed interception, opportunities are often fleeting. Even though it is just a few words exchanged back and forth, too much time has been wasted. Once the two sides are close, it will be difficult to escape in the dim light.
If you are just bitten, it would be fine. You can throw out the divine fire to lure the enemy and take the opportunity to escape.
The problem was that there were too many people on the other side, and each of them had wind scales, so they quickly formed an interception and encirclement force.
Shi Chun pinched the incense in his hand and reached out to An Wuzhi to stop him. "Forget it, don't throw it away. Keep it as a bargaining chip. You, didn't you say there are five more over there? If we use this one to lure them away, wouldn't it be better if we come back and get the other five? Can we leave out yours?"
As soon as he said this, An Wuzhi slapped himself in the face, his face full of regret, confirming that he was really bewitched.
Shi Chun could understand his feelings. They were in the same situation when they were struggling with stuttering. When people are extremely eager, they will put life and death aside.
"Oh, Lao An, you, you bastard, you really killed me." Chu Jingtang, who was forced to turn back due to the obstruction, spoke in a tone of regret.
It's inevitable to blame. This is the second time. He was almost burned to death in the Iron Forest before. He said at that time that if this happened again, there would be no way to live together. Who knew that a dog can't change its eating habits.
While he was riding the wind scales and waiting for an opportunity to escape, he asked, "Boss, what should we do?"
We were really panicking. The signal sent by the other party attracted a lot of people, and they came from all directions and directly surrounded this side.
"Run! Keep running!" Gu Lianni's sneer echoed in the night.
Shi Chun: "It's no big deal. They may not be able to do anything to us. Let's land."
Chu Jingtang looked back and saw that he was serious and calm. Well, as long as he didn't panic, it would be fine. He landed as he was told.
Swish, dozens of surrounding figures fell to the ground, causing a flurry of snow on the ice. Dozens of figures did not fall down, floating in the air to form a surrounding situation.
Gu Lianni walked forward on a layer of soft snow, and Yuan Yao followed closely.
"Run, why don't you run anymore?" Gu Lianni teased.
Shi Chun said calmly: "If I wanted to run, I would have run long ago. I guarantee you won't even see my shadow."
Yuan Yao snorted coldly: "How shameless of you to say that."
Shi Chun: "If I wanted to run, I wouldn't stay here and wait for you. I would have already run to the ten elders at the exit. What can you do to me?"
He said this to confirm the situation of Wu Jinliang and the others. It was a bit abnormal for these people to return so quickly, and he was worried that something might have happened to Wu Jinliang.
After hearing this, Gu Lianni's face darkened, "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the divine fire!"
A group of Shudao Mountain disciples had already fixed their eyes on the divine fire and could not move away.
Seeing that the other party did not mention Wu Jinliang's interest, Shi Chun was relieved immediately, knowing that Wu Jinliang should be safe and sound, and immediately said with a smile: "I can wait for you here with the divine fire, and I will naturally give it to you. Miss Gu, why are you so anxious?"
Gu Lianni laughed when she heard this, and then she put her hands on her hips and said, "Wait for me? You really know how to flatter yourself. You were chased away with nowhere to escape, but you still said you were waiting for me. Is this how you got first place in the Sky Rain Meteor Conference? It seems that Shengshenzhou really has no one!"
"Ha ha……"
A group of disciples from Shudao Mountain laughed in unison.
An Wuzhi felt secretly ashamed and blamed himself.
Shi Chun smiled faintly and said, "If I really wanted to flatter you, I wouldn't have left marks along the way on purpose to let you know where I was going. If I didn't leave marks, would you have been able to find me so quickly?" Gu Lianni was slightly stunned, her eyes flickering slightly, thinking, did he really leave marks along the way on purpose?
Yuan Yao saw that she was really reflecting on herself, and immediately advised her: "Uncle Master, this guy is a cunning thief who is good at speaking and is well-known for his fraud in the Sky Rain Meteor Conference. Don't listen to him. Don't believe even a single word he says. The marks along the way were clearly left by him when he was chasing the Divine Fire Attack, and have nothing to do with the road signs or signals."
Chu Jingtang agreed with what he said. The boss really deceived everyone at the Meteor Rain Conference. He, an elite disciple of the Bilan Sect, was expelled from the sect, all because of the boss.
But at this moment, he really hoped that the boss's deceiving skills would really work, otherwise it would be terrible and he might even lose his life.
Gu Lianni was cheered up when she heard the words. It was true, she almost got tricked.
Before she could speak, Shi Chun waved his hand and said, "Okay, there's no point in arguing about this. You won't believe anything I say. Let's just get down to business. I went through so much trouble with Shu Daoshan not because I wanted to steal his divine fire, but because I wanted Miss Gu to see my ability."
He turned around and pointed at the divine fire in An Wuzhi's hand, "I found the divine fire Bingyan!"
He turned his hand and pointed in the direction of the exit, "Divine Fire Chiyan, you also saw it."
Then he put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "This is my ability. I lured Miss Gu here to prove my sincerity so that I can discuss cooperation with Shu Daoshan."
Yuan Yao continued, "Uncle Master, his words cannot be trusted. He was clearly trying to escape just now. He had no choice but to show off his power of words here because he had no other way to escape."
Shi Chun loudly refuted, "That's not running away. I already got the Divine Fire a long time ago. The reason I didn't leave is that I was waiting for you to come here, and then I'll try you to see if you can stop me. If you can't stop me, then I'll really leave, because you are not worthy of cooperating with me. If you can stop me, then you have the qualifications to talk to me here."
Yuan Yao held out his hand and said, "If you want to talk, you can. Hand over the sacred fire first. Once you hand over the sacred fire, we will believe in your sincerity, and then you can talk however you want."
He was really afraid that Shi Chun would give up and release the sacred fire. Once the sacred fire and icy flame escaped under the vast ice field, they did not have the special power of Shi Chun's right eye.
This was also the reason why Shi Chun later stopped An Wuzhi from letting the sacred fire go, saying that he wanted to keep it as a bargaining chip.
Only when you have bargaining chips in hand will people give you a chance to speak.
Gu Lianni also realized and said, "That's right, hand over the sacred fire first, and once you show your sincerity, we can talk about anything you want."
An Wuzhi and Chu Jingtang both wanted to remind Shi Chun not to be fooled, but they didn't say a word. The last time they were surrounded by so many people was when they were "forced to abdicate" during the Tianyu Liuxing Conference. At that time, there were even more people surrounding them. They were all eyewitnesses and knew that the boss should be more sober than them and would not fall for such a clumsy trick.
Shi Chun laughed and said, "How can one flower prove my sincerity? If I can only offer one flower, how can I convince Miss Gu of my sincerity? Wouldn't it be a death wish for me to stay here? If I don't have the ability to convince you, how dare I talk to you all?"
He raised his hand and made a "six" gesture, "One is too few, how about six?"
"Six..."
Shu Daoshan and his group looked at each other in bewilderment. Some thought they had heard wrongly, while others whispered to each other, wondering if this guy had gone insane.
Chu Jingtang and An Wuzhi looked at each other and tried hard to control their facial expressions.
Gu Lianni couldn't help but ask, "Six divine fires? Are you talking in your sleep?"
Even when she left at the end, she could not absolutely guarantee that she would be able to find the six sacred fires in Shudao Mountain.
Shi Chun asked back, "Do you think it's appropriate for me to talk nonsense at this time?"
Gu Lianni: "Stop fooling around here. I only trust my own eyes. I only saw one!"
Shi Chun: "I will let you see six flowers if we have an agreement. But we have to make it clear in advance that these six flowers are just the beginning of our cooperation. I can only give you three flowers, and I have to keep three for myself. From now on, any sacred fire I find will first go to Shudao Mountain, then to Mingshan Sect, and so on.
There is no need to share the sacred fire that Shu Daoshan found himself with us, you can keep it for yourself.
Also, in the weapon refining competition after we go out, Shu Daoshan must win over our Mingshan Sect. Helping Shu Daoshan find the divine fire is not to let Shu Daoshan compete with us for the first place.
For Shudao Mountain, allowing more disciples to obtain more sacred fire should be far more valuable than competing for rewards. However, our Mingshan Sect really needs the first prize because we are poor and we need fame.
This is why I am waiting for Miss Gu here, and this is also the cooperation that Mingshan Sect and Shudaoshan want to discuss. "
He was not joking, things had come to this point, he really wanted to take advantage of the situation and cooperate with Shu Daoshan. If he could secure such a big help, there would be no need to be sneaky, hide, and be afraid of this and that when searching for the sacred fire later, and he would have enough manpower at his disposal.
What others saw as danger was an opportunity in his eyes.
The disciples of Shudao Mountain began to whisper.
Gu Lianni couldn't help but look at Yuan Yao. They had even laid out the subsequent distribution of interests, especially the open request for Shu Daoshan to give up the first place. This didn't seem like a scam without any basis.
Yuan Yao was a little confused for a moment and stopped saying that he must not believe it.
Gu Lianni asked: "How can I believe that you can produce six divine flames?"
After all, empty words are useless, we still want to see something practical.
Shi Chun spread his hands, "If the negotiation goes well, I will naturally let you see six divine fires. If the negotiation goes badly, it will be a life-and-death struggle, and I guarantee that you will not get a single one. But since I dare to wait for you here, I believe you will definitely agree. Didn't everyone come here for the divine fire? More divine fire, I don't think anyone can refuse this benefit!"
