Chapter 443 Why The sun sets and night falls. The leaders of the nine major sects gathered at the base in Shudao Mountain. After much discussion, they failed to come up with a good way to deal with Situ Gu. This was because Situ Gu not only had the huge Liantian Sect as his backing, but he also had great influence himself. Many people would be willing to respond to his call. Just ask those masters in the world of cultivation, who among them doesn’t want to be friends with the world’s best weapon refiner? The key is that it is not a good idea to directly drag Shi Chun to confront Situ Gu. If Situ Gu admits that it happened, what can they do? Can't the people of Liantian Sect develop some methods to find the divine fire? What does it have to do with you? Do you still want to steal it? When facing ordinary sects, you can rob them. But when facing the number one sect in the weapon refining world, whoever takes the lead in robbing one will try. So this is a very difficult thing to do. After much confusion, some people raised some doubts, "Could it be that Shi Chun knew that Situ Gu was a tough nut to crack, so he was trying to bring the matter down on Situ Gu?" Someone immediately retorted, "If he dares to cheat us and throw dirty water on the Liantian Sect, then he will be the enemy of the entire refining world. I think he should just find a place to bury himself and never show up again. He is a smart man and he will know this." Someone agreed, "We believe this because there is indeed an abnormal relationship between Situ Gu and Shi Chun. Logically speaking, a noble person like Situ Gu would never associate with a small character like Shi Chun. You should have noticed that a person with Situ Gu's personality is particularly concerned about the Divine Fire Domain. After the entrance was opened for the second time, he actually led the team in person. It is indeed suspected that he wanted to silence the witnesses. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, he has ulterior motives."

"It is highly credible that Shi Chun exposed the matter to protect himself. At least there is one thing that Sect Leader Gu has confirmed. His disciples from Shudao Mountain did see the existence of the 'Fire God Incense' with their own eyes. How could such a treasure be made unless someone had a good understanding of the divine fire? Only people with a good understanding of the divine fire can make it. Except for people in the weapon refining world who have this ability, it is almost impossible for others, not to mention Shi Chun. Even if you beat him to death, he can't make a treasure like the 'Fire God Incense'. And the person in the weapon refining world who knows the divine fire best is only Situ Gu!" The words of Su Qiao, the leader of the Jihuo Sect, were loud and clear. This statement was completely reasonable, and many people nodded slightly in agreement. But this kind of nonsense is of no use in solving real problems. It's the same reason. Can the Liantian Sect develop such a magic weapon? If they have developed it, why should they share it with outsiders? An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. The key point is that the Liantian Sect is not an "ordinary man", but an existence that they all look up to. Gu Yanduo, the head of the Shudao Mountain who was relatively silent most of the time, saw that everyone was talking but could not come up with anything new. He knew that there were still too many people present and it was not suitable to discuss conspiracies. He needed to narrow the circle and it would be even better if he could find a way to work alone. A group of people kept coming to him, and he didn't want to keep entertaining them. In addition, he felt that his family had a chance of winning the championship, so he didn't want any more twists and turns before that. So he slowly said, "Since there is no good solution for the time being, and the competition is coming soon, I think it's better to wait until after the competition to make a long-term plan. What do you think?" Everyone looked at each other, observing the attitudes of others. Xiao Youhong, the old and frail leader of Daming Pavilion, who was always half asleep and half awake, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke slowly, "Master Gu is right. The competition is coming up soon, and the gambling has attracted the attention of the entire cultivation world. If a joke is made at this time, it will be embarrassing for everyone. Liantian Sect is not a pushover, so it is better to deal with it after the competition." People expressed their opinions one after another, and everyone seemed helpless, hesitant, or sighing. Seeing that someone agreed, Gu Yanduo immediately stood up and said, "That's it. Sorry for not seeing you off." He clasped his fists to see the guests off and waved his hand, "Open the door!" An elder from Shudao Mountain immediately hurried to open the door. As everyone stood up to say goodbye, a disciple walked in quickly and reported: "Master, Luo, the leader of the Liantian Sect, is here to visit!" Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and Gu Yanduo could only say yes. The arrival of Luo Yan from the Liantian Sect was not a coincidence. The spies of such a big sect are not blind. The top leaders of the nine major sects have gathered together one after another, and I don't know what is going on. He waited and waited, but no one came to invite him. Finally, he could not bear it any longer and had to lower himself to visit in person. It's just that he came a little late. When he arrived, everyone had already dispersed. No one told him the truth. They couldn't say that they were discussing how to deal with your Liantian Sect. They were all laughing at him and dispersed right under his nose. After leaving the residence in Shudao Mountain and traveling for a while, Su Qiao, the leader of the Jihuo Sect, suddenly stopped and looked back, staring at the place where the lights had just dimly come out, with a deep look in his eyes.

An elder at the side asked in a low voice: "Master, why didn't you ask about the woman that Situ Gu took away?" Su Qiao squinted, "Since it is a secret that is intentionally concealed, do you think Luo Yan will tell us the truth? I didn't even ask Shi Chun because I didn't want to alert the enemy. Pretending not to know and letting them mistakenly think that we don't know will give us a chance to act. Otherwise, no matter how big the truth is, it may disappear. Let's go and talk about it when we get back." The group quickly disappeared into the night. In the courtyard, Shu Daoshan had good tea for the guests. Luo Yan took a few sips without any appetite, but in the end he didn't find out anything true or false. Instead, he felt that the other party was trying to test him intentionally or unintentionally. In the end, he could only leave in frustration. It wasn't long before the group of sect leaders and the like dispersed. As the night deepened, they reappeared and met together, all appearing beside the altar at the highest peak of Qiyun Valley. The Divine Fire Spirit Sect is about to close the passage between the two worlds, which also means that this trip to the Divine Fire Realm is about to end. It is unknown whether the missing disciples of some sects can come back alive. The situation was a bit weird. Some of the natal lotus lanterns were still lit, indicating that the people were still alive, but no one came out. The longer you wait, the slimmer the hope. Just when everyone thought that no more participants would come out, three figures suddenly jumped out from the Divine Fire Spirit Gate in the sky. These three people were none other than Feng Zhuoyi and others from the Fengluo Sect. After the three people landed, the top leaders of the ten major sects took a look and found that they didn't recognize them. Someone asked, "Which sect are you from?" The three of them looked at each other, and Feng Zhuo bravely bowed and said, "Juniors are disciples of Fengluo Sect." After these words were spoken, several high-ranking officials of Yanbao Sect looked at each other and thought of Li Hongjiu's explanation, but no one said anything, and it was not appropriate to say anything here. Someone waved, and Feng Zhuoyi and the other two quickly left. As soon as the group came down the mountain and finished their related matters, they saw the elders of the sect who stayed behind coming to greet them. The elder looked inquiringly. Feng Zhuoyi nodded slightly in response. The elder suddenly showed joy and whispered, "Let's go. We can't stay here for long. The leader has told us to leave immediately after you come out. We won't join in the fun of the competition anymore." Feng Zhuoyi and others naturally obeyed the order. As a result, all the participants from the Fengluo Sect withdrew and hurriedly left Qiyun Valley in the night. As soon as the group came out of the valley, they saw An Wuzhi and Zhu Xiangxin waiting at the side of the valley entrance. They pretended not to know them and left quickly. Not long after they walked out, they saw the hidden leader of the Fengluo Sect, Tang Qianjin, and his gang emerge. Seeing the returning third disciple, Tang Qianjin asked anxiously, "How is it?" Feng Zhuoyi bowed and said, "Master Chun kept his word. I have succeeded." "Good!" Tang Qianjin was excited. The opportunity to upgrade Fengluo Sect had finally come. He didn't dare to say more. He waved his hand and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go!" He was about to leave Lihuo Island with a group of people. As soon as he ran to the beach, he was stopped by several figures jumping out. It was none other than Bai Shuchuan and his group from Jieyun Mountain. Qiao Wugong walked out of the group leisurely and asked indifferently, "Where are you going, Master Tang?"

The movement of the natal lotus lantern in the air made them realize that Shi Chun had come out alive. In order to prevent Shi Chun from running back, they sent people to secretly wait for Shi Chun near the exit. However, they did not wait for Shi Chun, but instead waited for the Fengluo sect's group. They would not take action on the territory of the Equipment Refining Conference. They just wanted to understand the situation on Shi Chun's side. After all, this was not their territory, and Jieyun Mountain could not reach here. Their ability to obtain information was limited, so they had to find acquaintances to find out. This rude way of blocking the opponent also shows that their cultivation sect, which is good at fighting and killing, does have a sense of superiority when looking at this weapon refining sect. Tang Qianjin frowned slightly, "I gained nothing, and I have no face to stay here, so I will just leave in disgrace." Qiao Wugong smiled faintly and said, "In previous trips to the Divine Fire Territory, only a few sects were able to find the Divine Fire. It was either due to good luck or accumulated experience, so Sect Leader Tang does not need to feel ashamed. I came here to ask, how is your sect doing with the request you made?" Tang Qianjin shook his head and sighed, "Of course I tried my best, but the situation inside was complicated. Shi Chun and his gang ran away and disappeared after entering, and we haven't seen them since. I'm sorry for the trust, Brother Qiao." He said and bowed with regret. Qiao Wugong asked again: "What's the situation with Shi Chun now?" Tang Qianjin sighed, "My disciples are busy with their own affairs and have never met Shi Chun. There are few people inside and we really don't know Shi Chun's situation. Brother Qiao, you might as well ask other people. I have something urgent to do here." Qiao Wugong was silent for a moment, but did not continue to act arrogantly. After all, they could not do whatever they wanted here, and there was no point in talking too much. He stepped aside to make way and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation. So Tang Qianjin took his men and left. The Jieyunshan group can only continue to wait... Stars, sea breeze, lights, more and more people on the beach, and a lot of noise. After a rest, Lan Qiaoyan and her daughter appeared on the terrace again to watch. Everyone knew that the passage between the two worlds was about to be closed. Suddenly, a group of figures flew out from the Divine Fire Spirit Gate. All the people sent by the ten major sects to take charge of the Divine Fire Domain came out and landed on the top of the mountain to report to the leaders of each sect. Following an order, the few people who were casting spells on the altar suddenly withdrew the rising flames. The divine fire spirit gate in the air suddenly became dim, and its rotation speed became slower and slower. The vortex of light in the giant metal ring also gradually converged and disappeared. Then, the slowly circling giant metal ring began to move and fly away, flying towards the direction of the Lihuo Sect. At the same time, on the island in the middle of the lake in the Divine Fire Domain, figures appeared one after another. They were the nine lords guarding the tower in the middle of the lake. They looked in the direction of the passage between the two worlds with expectant eyes, all concentrating on sensing something. Suddenly, the charming woman in red clasped her fists in front of her chest and said, "It's over, it's closed. Boss, has Zhen'er gone out?" So everyone looked at the old man with horns on his head, and saw that the old man slowly closed his eyes and concentrated. After waiting for a while, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, slowly raised his hands and shook them vigorously, "She's out, she really waited for her destined person, and he really took her out!" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else was so excited that it was indescribable. Jiu Ye, who looked like a teenager, was emitting flames. He looked up at the sky and groaned, "Once the passage between the two worlds is closed, the connection with Zhen'er is cut off, and the formation that imprisoned us is broken. I have waited for this day for too long. Let's... go!" The last word sounded like a roar to the sky, and he also soared into the sky with flames wrapped around his body, like a dazzling meteor that was about to break through the sky, dazzling. However, at this moment, the entire frozen lake surface cracked with a loud clacking sound, and was instantly covered with countless spider-web-like cracks, and then quickly shattered. To be precise, the entire huge lake surface quickly spun, stirring up huge waves, mixed with countless ice blocks, and instantly created a thunderous momentum. The eight people on the island looked around in horror, their bodies shaking as the ground shook. The old man looked up to the sky and shouted, "Come back quickly!" The island in the middle of the lake beneath their feet also began to spin, and a dazzling golden light burst out from under the lake. The shadow of a giant golden tower spread out from the tower in the middle of the lake, and the tower body cracked like fish scales, emitting flames of various colors. Countless streams of water rushed into the fish scales of the tower body like thunderbolts. Under the continuous impact of the strong water flow, the colors of the various flames were quickly suppressed and gradually dimmed.

"what……" The eight people on the island, and Master Jiu who was falling from the sky like a meteor, all let out miserable screams. The momentum of their wails could tear the sky and the earth apart, but it could not break the strangling lake water. Their bodies were refined together with the tower in the center of the lake. Water controls fire, and the imprisonment formation was activated again at this time, directly washing away their origins. The nine people in the air and on the island seemed to be unable to bear the continuous heavy blows, and their divine fire bodies exploded one after another, all of them looking so painful that it was horrible to look at. The moment the old man revealed his true form, he let out a terrifying and sorrowful roar, "Su, you lied to us, why, why..." (End of this chapter)
