Chapter 285 Great News
"Qianyan Sect..." Xu Anchang muttered, narrowing his eyes and slowly said: "If this is true, then it must be someone from the other two sects."
Shi Chun didn't say anything for the time being, letting him and You Mu figure it out slowly.
After waiting for a while, Xu Anchang looked at You Mu's reaction and suddenly said, "The road is wide and we can go our separate ways. As long as they don't get in our way, we won't get in their way either."
Shi Chun was stunned, thinking he had misheard, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Anchang: "That's what I mean. Don't disturb each other."
Shi Chun was stunned for a moment, then said, "In other words, we can give up the task assigned to us by the higher-ups?"
Give up? Several people including Wu Jinliang looked at him.
Xu Anchang said: "Hey, Brother Chun, don't misunderstand me, that's not what I meant."
Shi Chun: "The people from the other two factions are not here to play. We want to be the first, and they also want to be the first. Do you think they won't get in our way?"
Xu An sighed, "Things are not what you think. How should I put it? The three sects also have an alliance. When something happens, we can only compete fairly and cannot kill each other. Once anyone is found to have violated the contract, the three sects will jointly judge."
There were some things he was reluctant to say. Although everything depended on human effort, he knew clearly that the probability of the three families taking first place was extremely low, because the magic sect had little ability to display here. The real effective competition would probably have to take place outside the Divine Fire Territory. There was no need to fight with the other two families here.
Shi Chun: "I know that the three veins have a covenant, but if we hadn't discovered it by accident, we wouldn't have known that the people of 'Qianyan Sect' were from the Demonic Path. Besides, I didn't say that we should kill each other, and the covenant of the three veins also allows for fair competition, not that Brother Xu said that we shouldn't fight."
Xu Anchang was a little unhappy when he said that. If this got to the ears of the higher-ups, he didn't know how they would look at him. He immediately said indifferently, "Then I wonder what Brother Chun thinks?"
Shi Chun pointed out lightly, "Since the people from the other two sects dared to come in, their level of preparation may not be worse than ours. Your Siding Sect has undercover agents in other sects, don't they have any?"
Xu and You looked at each other, a little puzzled. You Mu asked, "Then what?"
Shi Chun: "We are tracking the undercover sects to find clues about the Divine Fire, which means we have five channels to obtain clues about the Divine Fire, which greatly increases our chances of finding the Divine Fire. This has been proven in reality. If we can get them to track the undercover sects to get clues about the Divine Fire, and then we can intercept the relevant clues, does this mean that our chances of finding the Divine Fire will likely increase exponentially again?"
The three people who were listening thought about it and understood what was meant, but could the accounts be calculated so smoothly?
Xu Anchang smiled, "Brother Chun, even if Qianyan Sect follows the undercover sect to find clues to the sacred fire, it is impossible for us to know. Qianyan Sect does not have our undercover to leave road signs. We can't catch up even if we want to. We can't follow them openly, right? Our manpower is limited, and we can't cast a net everywhere to follow."
Shi Chun refuted: “Brother Xu, we can’t avoid problems when we encounter them, we must solve them!
We are currently tracking the undercover method of obtaining the sacred fire. We can find a way to reveal it to Qianyan Sect and exaggerate the results. Once Qianyan Sect knows about it, they will surely follow suit.
We don't need to send anyone to follow, or even add any more manpower. We just need to send capable people to guard the exit area.
Qianyan Sect has lured people from which sect to the exit. We just need to find the people who were lured and find out where the incident happened, and then we can intervene when the opportunity arises."
Xu and You were stunned after hearing what he said. They finally understood this guy's intention and were a little shocked.
The two of them had a deeper understanding of the intention of sending this person here.
Wu Jinliang also figured it out, and chuckled a lot. He finally understood why the boss wanted to find those two people from the evil sects. It turned out that he thought the undercover agent from the Siding Sect was not efficient enough in obtaining clues about the divine fire.
Isn't this busy enough? He has been running almost non-stop. He has already obtained seven divine fires. If he increases the number of divine fire clues exponentially, he is really afraid that he will not be able to handle it. With such a small number of manpower, if he does not give the people of the Four Ding Sect to absorb, he is afraid that he will not even have time to rest.
You Mu came back to his senses and asked, "Why would someone who was lured away by Qianyan Sect tell you where the incident happened?"
Shi Chun waved his hand, "The big problem has been solved, those are all small problems, don't worry about them, we brothers will solve them."
Wu Jinliang chuckled again as a response.
Xu Anchang glanced at him twice. Sometimes he was really annoyed by this big guy's hectic behavior. He was just an annoying guy. Every time he came, he would knock and smash things around like an earthquake. How could people find the sacred fire in this place?
He suspected that the reason he hadn't seen the shadow of the Divine Fire for so long was because of the noise made by the big guy smashing things around, which scared the Divine Fire into hiding.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chun, it's not that your method is bad, but it's unnecessary at the moment. The Iron Forest has not yet produced any results. If we find too many clues to the Divine Fire, we will be too busy to handle it."
Shi Chun waved his hand and said, "Brother Xu, I'm not too busy. I just let Qianyan Sect know about it. I'll take care of the rest.
Brother Xu, just get a few more private plots as reserves. When we come back to the Iron Forest, we will have a bunch of choices in front of us and you can pick whatever you want. Isn’t that good?
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Mingshan Sect's personnel were too eye-catching and it was inappropriate for them to leak the news to Qianyan Sect, I wouldn't have argued with Brother Xu. It wouldn't take much time for Mingshan Sect to handle such a small matter. Brother Xu, we are here to win the championship. The more clues we can get, the better. It's not appropriate to be down-to-earth and conservative!" This time, You Mu also stood on Shi Chun's side and turned back to persuade Xu Anchang, "Brother, I think what Brother Chun said makes sense."
Xu An sighed, "I know what he said makes sense, but look at us here, we keep stopping and starting to look for it, and now we have to stop again. If we keep going like this, when will we be able to find the sacred fire of the Iron Forest? Oh, forget it, Brother Chun, you are right, can you do it your way?"
"Don't be angry." Shi Chun grabbed his hand and patted the back of his hand to comfort him. "Just go to Qianyan Sect and tell them about it. Then you can stay here and look for it slowly. Leave the rest to Mingshan Sect."
Xu Anchang said helplessly: "I promise you, but you have to promise me one thing."
Shi Chun: "You tell me what you want to say."
Xu Anchang: "Don't take risks easily anymore, don't provoke sects like Shu Daoshan anymore. If you really can't control yourself, at least don't let Tong Mingshan take risks anymore. Since he is already absorbing the second divine fire, you have to ensure his safety."
"Okay, I'll take note of that." Shi Chun nodded seriously.
Just as the two sides were discussing the details, Fang Zicheng came again. Perhaps it was good things that come in pairs, as he brought news about another hidden demonic sect, the "Valley of Forgetfulness".
This was great news for Shi Chun. He had thought it would be difficult to find all the two evil sects, but he did not expect to find them all so quickly.
But think about it, the various sects have just entered the Divine Fire Realm not long ago, and most of them are not too far from the exit. The probability of encountering some sects that are searching everywhere is still quite high. It would be difficult to meet them if we really have to wait until the later stage when they are all scattered.
He was somewhat glad that he had made the decision early.
With this information, the tracking personnel he sent out can be recalled, otherwise the manpower around him will be a bit short.
He then told Xu Anchang the news in a similar way and asked him to "deal with" the two demonic sects in the same way.
He knew that this would arouse Xu Anchang's suspicion, but he couldn't wait any longer and he had to complete his plan as soon as possible.
Xu Anchang was indeed a little suspicious. How could it be such a coincidence that the people from the other two clans were seen by the people from Mingshan Sect to use their demonic energy?
But Shi Chun was too lazy to be delicate with him. After dealing with this group of guys, to be honest, he looked down on them a little. So what if he was suspicious? Go and verify it if you have the ability.
If you want to pry something out of Shen Moming and Fang Zicheng's mouths, you have to get past him first. Once you get past this hurdle, everything else will not be a problem.
Little did they know that after Xu Anchang and You Mu had a secret conversation, they gradually dispelled their doubts and understood that it was indeed a coincidence.
The reason was simple, because Xu Anchang believed that someone as smart as Shi Chun would not make such a low-level mistake. If there was really a problem, he would not show obvious suspicion towards him.
Besides, there seems to be no point in Shi Chun pretending to be like this.
Of course, we still need to remain vigilant during this process.
In addition, all kinds of problems will be recorded here and must be reported after leaving.
Just when they were preparing to set off but had not yet set off, Zhou Wuxian, the undercover agent from Hongyun Castle, came to contact them again and informed them of the current location of Hongyun Castle.
This time, only the people from the Siding Sect followed Zhou Wuxian and left, while Haoji was stopped by Shi Chun.
Xu Anchang had no objection to this. He had felt that there were not enough people and it would be a waste to send more people to follow. But he still asked, "Why are you not allowed to follow again?"
Shi Chun borrowed a step to talk with him, and when there was no one around, he explained, "We are short of manpower. Once the people from the Si Ding Sect and the Qian Yan Sect meet, it will not be appropriate for you to keep your two men at the exit. What if someone knows them before?
Also, you haven't been able to find the sacred fire in the Iron Forest, and I'm worried. Recruiting these two back will also increase your search manpower.
Looking back, Siding Sect will focus on finding the sacred fire, and all other risky and messy errands will be handed over to Mingshan Sect’s people. "
At this point, he leaned close to Xu Anchang's ear and whispered, "We should try to preserve our strength and do something safe. If someone from Mingshan Sect gets into trouble, then let them die, so that we don't have to take action later."
Xu Anchang liked this realization, and he smiled and hummed, saying, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Afterwards, the people present from both sides gathered together and left quickly. With Fang Zicheng leading the way, they first dealt with the people from Wangqing Valley.
