Chapter 374: Can't Go Empty-Handed Shi Chun and his group stopped in front of the different mountains, still waiting there. Shi Chun did not completely abandon the duties of the secret sentry. He was still lying on the top of a mountain to observe personally. The light in this haunted place was poor, and the special ability of his right eye was naturally the best early warning guarantee. Xu Anchang and You Mu saw all of this. No matter what they thought of Shi Chun after the two treasures were swallowed, they were now convinced. Although this person is the one who has the final say in Mingshan Sect, he still does the sentry work himself without any airs and is unyielding. No wonder his group has been safe and sound until now. With the leader's sense of responsibility, others naturally dare not slack off. But this place made them feel very uneasy. They had never been here before, but looking at the ghostly terrain of the mountains here, they could probably guess the location. There are some things that even if you haven't seen them, you have heard of them. They didn't know what Shi Chun was up to, and they also saw that Shi Chun was too lazy to pretend with them. Now that his strength had been exposed, his words and actions were no longer as polite to them as before. Damn it, they turned against each other so quickly and are now directly ordering them around. Then again, if they dare to swallow their treasures directly, what else can they not dare to use?

However, they were a little confused. Since the higher-ups had sent such a capable person to take action, why didn't they tell them clearly in advance? If they had followed his lead earlier, wouldn't everything have been smooth sailing? Why did such unnecessary complications arise? But it doesn't seem difficult to understand why the above authorities are secretly keeping something in reserve. I finally understood why there was a guy with extremely high talent in refining weapons in Mingshan Sect. They have begun to doubt the cause of death of Feng Yaoyang, the candidate for the championship of the Four Ding Sect, when he just entered the Divine Fire Domain. With such strong strength, could Shi Chun sit idly by and watch outsiders kill Feng Yaoyang? They also understood why people like Shi Chun who were not from the weapon-refining world were able to sneak in. Thinking about the rumors about the people involved who brought Shi Chun and his gang in, they vaguely felt that they had touched upon some secrets, and they were frightened when they thought about it carefully. Shi Chun, who was observing the surroundings and waiting, felt that the days were passing by like years. He kept wondering in his heart why the old man hadn't come back yet. He was worried that communication with Zhen'er would fail, and then people from various sects would come again. Fortunately, the feeling of passing days like years was just his. Zhen'er didn't waste any time. She soon fell from the sky and landed beside him, calling out happily, "Spring." Chu Jingtang and the others just looked at each other subconsciously at this intimate name, they couldn't call it out loud. Wu Jinliang grinned and when he saw Zhen'er's happy expression, he knew that the matter was accomplished. Shi Chun didn't say anything in public. He grabbed Zhen'er's hand and dragged her to the side to talk. Wu Jinliang didn't hesitate and just stood up and followed him. The others were embarrassed as they were clearly asking for permission to speak, and their relationship was not as close as Wu Jinliang's. With no one around, Shi Chun immediately held Zhen'er's hands and asked in a very gentle tone, "How is it, can the masters accept me?" Zhen'er kept smiling and nodded, "I agree. It's okay. There won't be any misunderstanding. You can go now." Shi Chun didn't care whether the old man would regret it or not, because he had no intention of meeting him. He immediately said to Wu Jinliang beside him: "Call everyone, let's go!" "Okay." Wu Jinliang agreed and quickly returned to the crowd. Zhen'er's eyes were full of tenderness and affection when she looked at Shi Chun. She couldn't help herself and took the initiative to hug and kiss him. She had heard that after the formal proposal of marriage, the two were no longer just in a relationship of man and woman, but had a formal status.

So when a group of people rushed over and saw this disgusting scene, Wu Jinliang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He actually dared to smack his lips in public. It was simply too much. The Mingshan Sect's group was quite conscious and turned their heads to look to the side, but their eyes were filled with silent sighs as they communicated with each other. They lived with Shi Chun and his friends in the capital of Shengshenzhou, and knew too well how Shi Chun pursued Xiang Lan'er. They had heard with their own ears how Shi Chun called her the most beautiful woman in the world and that he would not marry anyone else. And now, in the blink of an eye, he was hugging another woman. Shi Chun actually didn't want to do this openly, but now was the time to take advantage of Zhen'er. She had no taboos and couldn't help herself. He didn't want to pour cold water on her or force her away, for fear of causing trouble. Anyway, he won't be able to stay with this woman for long. When he turns around and runs away from her, everyone will understand that he is just doing it for everyone's good. With this thought in mind, he no longer had any scruples. He hugged Zhen'er and gave her a satisfactory response before trying to push her away, reminding her, "Let's go." Zhen'er said "hmm" obediently and took off into the air hand in hand with him, and the two led the way. The people following behind became more and more scared, and the more they looked, the more it seemed like they were heading to a horrible place. If it weren't for their trust in Shi Chun, they would have stopped long ago. When the group flew to a place where the frozen lake was vaguely visible, Shi Chun, who had already asked Zhen'er about the environment of the Earth's Core Tower, suddenly pulled Zhen'er down to the ground. Everyone followed suit, but Shi Chun pulled Zhen'er aside to talk again. After avoiding everyone, Zhen'er was curious. Why did he stop when he was so close to him? He blinked and asked, "What happened?" Shi Chun said: "I remembered one thing. Proposing marriage requires a ceremony. You can't go empty-handed." Wu Jinliang, who came over later, grinned when he heard it. Zhen'er muttered as if she understood, "Ritual?" Shi Chun took the initiative to explain: "It is to prepare a gift for the proposal to show the man's sincerity." Zhen'er smiled, "No need, I know your sincerity." Shi Chun waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, this is a necessary process. You can't go empty-handed. You must prepare gifts. Going empty-handed doesn't count as proposing marriage." Is that so? Zhen'er tilted her head and thought about it, then looked around, a little worried about whether she could get everything together, and asked, "What kind of gift should I prepare?" Shi Chun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of gift you prepare, as long as it can express my sincerity. So, you go to the tower and wait for me first, and I will come to visit you when I have prepared the gift. We will go through the formal marriage proposal process, and we can't be hasty." Zhen'er nodded immediately. She was very satisfied and happy with Shi Chun's serious statement. She stepped aside and said, "I'll wait for you." Shi Chun quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, and said worriedly: "When we are preparing the gifts, if those people come after us, we may have to avoid them and may arrive a little later. Remember to ask the uncle and the others to wait for a while." Zhen'er subconsciously glanced at the frozen lake, then turned back and immediately assured, "Don't worry, if anyone messes up here, Master Jiu will kill them without me having to do anything." Although this was within Shi Chun's expectations, this distance should not be out of the range of a master of that realm, otherwise he would not have dared to approach without permission and asked Zhen'er to go over and greet him first, but he still confirmed it, "Really?" Zhener nodded, "Really." It couldn't be more real. So Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang both had smiles on their faces, and they looked as if they had eaten bee poop, it was so sweet. This is easy to handle. Shi Chun immediately let go of Zhen'er and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead, wait for me." Zhen'er nodded and left reluctantly. When the figure disappeared, Wu Jinliang approached Shi Chun and whispered to him, "The boss's beauty trick is unparalleled in the world!"

Shi Chun put his hands behind his back and said, "You still have to pretend to prepare a gift. You can't treat others as deaf and blind." Wu Jinliang immediately patted his chest and said, "I'll make it. Are you still unsure of my craftsmanship? Just ask me if you want anything. I'll make it for you." Shi Chun glanced at him sideways, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He wanted to say, your craftsmanship is okay for fooling people, but if I really take a closer look, are you really up to par? If he had not seen the world, it would be okay for him to accept some things, and it would be good to have them. After seeing the world, he has become a little picky. But then he thought again, it was just a show, not a real gift, so he immediately agreed: "Whatever you think is good, just remember to make some noise." "Simple." Wu Jinliang patted his chest again, "Let's carve a stone statue for the two of you. Have you heard of 'Flying Together'? It sounds good, looks good, and there are movements." Shi Chun was speechless, and finally turned away, "Whatever, thank you for your hard work." Wu Jinliang followed with a chuckle, unable to hide his eagerness to try, "It's not hard, it's not hard. The big boss has already sacrificed his looks and reputation, so my contribution is nothing..." When a group of figures flew across the sky to the edge of the Ghostly Mountains, Zuo Zisheng, who was looking around vigilantly, suddenly shouted, "Stop!" Not only him, Yin Tianlu also cast a spell at Wu Shanshan who was leading the way, shouting, "Stop!" Figures came one after another and landed on a mountain, all gazing into the distance with expressions of surprise and doubt. As I said, even if we hadn't seen it before, we had heard about it. Just based on the terrain, everyone realized where it was, and most people really didn't dare to move forward. Li Hongjiu, who had changed his clothes, looked out with a desire to explore, but after turning around to look at his fellow disciples, he revealed a bit of thoughtfulness. After calling Wu Shanshan over, Yin Tianlu asked, "Are you sure Shi Chun and the others went to the front?" Wu Shanshan gritted her teeth and said, "Absolutely, for sure!" Gu Lianni said in a deep voice: "Do you know where the front is?" Wu Shanshan looked back at the mountain ahead and said hesitantly, "But they did go forward. I don't know why they are not afraid." This answer and this situation made everyone look at each other in confusion, wondering whether to continue following or not. "Following them all the way, it seems that there really isn't any big problem." Zuo Zisheng thought for a moment and spoke aloud to everyone, then asked, "Which sect is willing to be the pioneer?" After waiting for a while, seeing that no one responded, he said again: "Those who dare to be the first will be credited with great merit. After gaining the advantage, two more divine fires will be given. I, Liantian Sect, will guarantee it!" However, after waiting for a while, no one responded. In this case, Zuo Zisheng glanced around and locked his eyes directly on Gong Shixi who was at the edge of the crowd. The latter was startled when he saw this. As a result, what he feared came true. Zuo Zisheng shouted, "Brother Gong, this opportunity is given to you, Qianyan Sect. You will be the pioneers in exploring the way. Do the other sects have any objections?" Gong Shixi's face was full of disbelief, and his eyes gradually widened. All the disciples of Qianyan Sect felt their hair stand on end. "Listen to Brother Zuo." Yin Tianlu was the first to respond, although he didn't know how Qianyan Sect had offended Zuo Zisheng. Gu Lianni said calmly: "No problem." Guang Haoyou glanced at his uncle who had no objection, and said loudly, "Okay." The result is predictable. All factions responded in unison, and were all willing to give this great opportunity to the Qianyan Sect...

At the bottom floor of the Earth's Core Tower, after some communication, the old man with horns on his head said he understood and let Zhen'er go out first. After a long while, the silent old man spoke to the void: "If the people chasing us really come, what should we do? Should we help or not?" The muttering voice said, "We can't just sit there and watch them get beaten to death, can we?" The old man said slowly: "If he helps, our strength is here. After he comes, will he dare to help the girl break the formation under our noses?" (End of this chapter)
