Chapter 386 Entering the Tower
what……
This was the reaction of all the audience, and the scene instantly became lively.
"Impossible, Shi Chun can never be a match for Li Hongjiu."
"That's right, not to mention injuring Li Hongjiu."
"Shi Chun can only run away when facing Li Hongjiu."
"With Li Hongjiu's strength, it's probably not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one person below the human immortal realm."
"We saw with our own eyes that Shi Chun was beaten and fled by Li Hongjiu with a bunch of magic weapons..."
The people who came to report the news from various factions all spoke up to vouch for Li Hongjiu, as if Li Hongjiu was their uncle. This situation confused Guang Haoyou and his gang.
It was also through these people that Guang Haoyu and others learned what their uncle went through after they parted ways.
It sounded like it couldn't be true, but what surprised them was that the two fights between Uncle Shi and Shi Chun were so different. Listening to the stories told by these people, it didn't sound like they were talking about the same person. It felt like Uncle Shi's strength had suddenly increased by a lot.
The question is, if the uncle-master really had this ability, how could he have been injured by Shi Chun before and had to resort to trickery to escape?
So they also understood the doubts raised by the people who came back to report the news.
The elder of Yanbao Sect was skeptical and puzzled. He felt that there was no need for these disciples to band together to deceive him, so he immediately asked, "When did you see Shi Chun defeat your uncle?"
Guang Haoyou pointed at the people from other sects and said, "They said that after Shi Chun assassinated him with a mask, Uncle Master chased after him and intercepted him. The two of them fought at that time, and Uncle Master suffered a little loss."
The elder of Yanbao Sect asked again, "How did you suffer a loss?"
Speaking of the specific situation, Guang Haoyou began to hesitate and secretly winked at the elder. It was not that he was unwilling to tell the elder, but some things were not easy to say in front of all the sects. His uncle controlled the heavenly thunder and destroyed so many magic weapons of various sects. It was really not easy for him to admit his guilt himself.
The elder was not stupid. He immediately realized that there was some inside story that was not easy to make public. He just said a few vague words to fool the elder and focused on asking about Li Hongjiu's injuries. Guang Haoyu also conveyed Li Hongjiu's explanation.
Afterwards, some people from various factions left and some stayed.
The elders of Guang Haoyou's group did not let them idle and asked them to continue looking for the sacred fire. As for Li Hongjiu, don't even think about looking for her. As for whether they can gain greater benefits for the sect, the kite's string has been broken, so it's up to them how high they can fly.
The Chien Yan Clan's group stayed nearby and did not leave, having lost a few men, and looked too frightened to risk anything again.
Gong Shixi was relieved. Looking at the situation and the sinister looks of the elders from various factions, he knew that Shi Chun would not be allowed to pass this hurdle easily.
They stayed here to listen to the news, just in case anything changed, so that they could explain the past to their superiors later...
In the vast wilderness, Shu Daoshan's group finally stopped running and landed, confronting Yin Tianlu's group who followed them.
Gu Lianni shouted, "Why are you following me?"
After the incident at the forbidden lake, Shu Daoshan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when everyone was fleeing in panic to get rid of those restraining sects. However, Yin Tianlu and his gang did not flee with the Liantian Sect, but instead followed her, Shu Daoshan, and refused to let go.
Joining the Jihuo Sect were people from the Jinmao Hall, Dongxiao Island, and Luoyan Mountain.
In fact, the Jihuo Sect was not in the same group as those three sects. Yin Tianlu turned his head and looked at the people from those three sects. He wondered why these three sects followed him to Shudao Mountain.
Yin Tianlu responded: "The world is so big, does it have to be your responsibility to decide where to go?"
Actually, he knew that Shi Chun could not be found, and he wanted to confirm whether the so-called "Divine Fire Treasure Mirror" really existed. If it did exist, Shu Daoshan would definitely use it to continue looking for the divine fire.
If his men had not suffered heavy losses, and his main magic weapon had not been destroyed by the endless thunder, and if there were not three followers who would not let go, he would not have had to keep following them like this, and would have considered using force long ago.
Seeing that the other side had more people and more power, Gu Lianni could only swallow her anger and lead the crowd to fly away.
Yin Tianlu waved his hand and led the crowd to continue following.
The troops from Jinmaotang, Dongxiao Island, and Luoyan Mountain also took off and continued to observe silently...
"spring!"
On the island in the middle of the lake, Zhen'er saw Shi Chun and the other two falling from the sky. She happily jumped in front of Shi Chun and hugged him. She was really very happy. Kissing seemed to be the best way to express her emotions. She kissed Shi Chun a few times in public.
Xu and You, one was laughing awkwardly, the other was relatively silent, but the common point was that they were both observing Master Jiu, and also quietly observing the surroundings.
Jiu Ye, who was lying on the stone with his head in his hands and his legs crossed, slowly stood up and observed the few people.
Shi Chun seemed to have only Jiu Ye in his eyes. After Zhen Er pushed him away perfunctorily, he immediately walked up to Jiu Ye, bowed and said, "Jiu Ye."
Xu and You hurriedly followed suit.
Jiu Ye hummed and asked, "Is the trouble solved?"
Shi Chun: "I've found a way to get rid of it for now."
The young Master Jiu put his hands behind his back and said, "I heard from Zhen'er that you are here to propose marriage?"
Shi Chun replied, "Yes. I heard from Zhen'er that if she wants to live here with him, she must ask for marriage from you. You must agree to it. Only with your consent can she gain a foothold in this land. So I came to meet you and ask for marriage from you."
What the hell is a marriage proposal? Xu and You tried hard to suppress the look of surprise on their faces. They felt as if they understood, but also as if they didn't understand.
Jiu Ye nodded, looked back and forth at the three people, and said, "Wait, I'll go and inform them." After that, he flashed and floated into the cave on the island.
As soon as he left, Zhen'er approached Shi Chun again, reached out and grabbed one of Shi Chun's hands, and whispered: "Are you scared? I'm a little scared."
Shi Chunzhen came here for her, taking the opportunity of proposing marriage to break the formation. She was very happy that he could take such a big risk for her, but after the happiness, only fear was left.
She knew very well what would happen if those old monsters discovered their intentions.
Shi Chun comforted him, "It's okay."
He was actually a little afraid, but he was definitely much better than Zhen'er. He had already prepared a retreat. His only fear was that the retreat would be blocked and that things would not develop as he expected.
Xu Anchang came over and asked in a low voice: "Propose marriage? What does that mean?"
Shi Chun said disapprovingly: "When you should know, you will know naturally. Knowing too much when you shouldn't know is harmful to yourself."
Well, Xu and You had no choice but to shut up and continue to be highly alert to their surroundings.
Shi Chun was too lazy to talk to them, and took the opportunity to use the special ability of his right eye to carefully observe the Earth Core Tower below. The last time he came here, he was chased and didn't have time to observe it in time, so he must observe it carefully this time.
The result was not very good. It was impossible to see through it at all. It was like a group of colorful rays of light. It was impossible to distinguish the layers under the overwhelming colorful rays. It felt like every ray of color was the light of a fire spirit.
Looking down from the top of the tower, it seemed that the entire tower was powered by a huge fire spirit, so powerful and majestic that it was frightening. How powerful it was was beyond his current conception...
On the bottom floor of the tower, Jiu Ye, with his figure flashing, landed in front of the old man who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, bent his knees, squatted, and sat down sideways.
He looked around at the empty space and said to the air, "Zhenzhen has come back again for Zhener. Boss, she wants to meet you and propose to you in person. To make it look more like her, I have to come down in person. What should I do now?"
The nagging male voice sounded, "You really risked your life for Zhen'er."
The woman's envious voice echoed, "Zhen'er has met true love and true fate. In the face of true love, no matter how great the danger is, you can disdain it. It's great."
The old man slowly opened his eyes and said slowly: "It seems that she has really waited for the time to leave. I hope she can get out smoothly. We should also try to make it smoother for her. Three people came. When they come to see me, I will send the other two away. Old Seven, I will leave it to you to give them courage."
The woman's voice echoed with a slight giggle, "Okay."
Uncle: "Go ahead, let them come."
"Hey." Lao Jiu laughed, and suddenly turned into a blue light and floated away.
When he reappeared, he had wandered out of the cave on the island in a loose manner. Standing at the entrance of the cave, he waved to Shi Chun and others, "The boss promised to see you, come on, come with me."
"Thank you, Master Jiu." Shi Chun nodded with a smile, pulled the increasingly nervous Zhen'er with him and walked away, whispering to comfort her, "Trust me, it's okay."
"Yeah." Zhener nodded.
What could Xu and You do? After looking at each other, they had no choice but to follow him, feeling very scared.
They were more surprised and confused. They could guess where this was, but they didn't know how Shi Chun got involved with this place. It was simply unbelievable. Or was this a premeditated arrangement from above, and Shi Chun was just here to carry it out?
They know nothing and just follow blindly.
After entering the cave, the three newcomers discovered that the rocky island was just the surface. There was a threshold at the end of the rocky passage. After crossing the threshold, they entered a circular metal space. No one knew what was behind the curved metal wall in the middle.
There were irregular patterns on the wall and the ground, and no one knew what was depicted. The overall pattern was very simple, and no decorations could be seen. Instead, they saw several red, blue, and pink divine fires floating over their heads, as if they were illuminating them. The three of them subconsciously looked at each other, but none of them could absorb the divine fire.
Jiu Ye led them for about half a circle, and then a curved handrail appeared on the side of the road, surrounding a downward staircase.
I went down to the second floor, where the environment was similar to the previous floor. I walked forward half a circle and saw another staircase leading downwards.
When they were walking around the third floor, in addition to seeing the divine fire of different colors, they also saw two white and plump boys as pink as lotus roots running and playing. When the two boys saw them, they immediately slipped away against the wall. The three of them looked at each other and then looked at Zhen'er together, and found that Zhen'er was indeed not surprised.
They circled downstairs, circled again, and went downstairs again. The loops on each floor were wider than the previous ones, and the environment was similarly empty all the way. In this way, the group arrived at the bottom floor and came to an old man with horns on his head who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
The old man was also staring at them.
Jiu Ye pointed at Shi Chun and introduced her, "Boss, this is Shi Chun who is here to propose marriage."
The old man's eyes fell on the other two people, "What do they do?"
Jiu Ye shrugged, "I don't know."
The old man immediately said rudely: "Get out."
Xu and You's expressions froze, they were terrified and looked at Shi Chun for help.
There was surprise and fear on Zhen'er's face.
Shi Chun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm here to help..."
The old man interrupted and questioned Master Jiu, "How many times do you want me to say it?"
Jiu Ye waved to Shi Chun, then politely waved to Xu and You, "It's okay, it's okay, let's talk about something first, you go up first, I won't see you off, just go up the same way you came down, Shi Chun will come to find you after we've finished talking."
