Chapter 316 Turn around As the sect continued to chase and pester the enemy, they gradually realized that something was wrong. The people from Qianyan Sect who were walking slowly towards the exit suddenly stopped at a gesture from Gong Shixi. Facing the spy who came to report the news, Gong Shixi asked in surprise, "Did he go to the 'Forbidden Land of Wuming'?" He directed all his tentacles that were searching for clues about the sacred fire to focus on Shi Chun and his gang. He had a relatively sensitive sense of the situation and knew that Shi Chun and his gang were in trouble. He had anticipated that Shi Chun and his gang would flee to the exit area to seek refuge sooner or later, so he rushed to the exit area. He rushed to the exit, not for any other reason, but because as long as Shi Chun and his gang reached the exit, he would be able to add fuel to the fire and force Shi Chun and his gang into a dead end. Faced with the temptation of the divine fire to all parties, he believed it would not be difficult to add fuel to the flames. The messenger nodded and said, "The third group sent back a message saying that his sect, based on the direction Shi Chun and his group were heading and the situation they were being harassed in, thought that Shi Chun and his group were most likely heading to the 'Wu Ming Forbidden Land' and were probably trying to use the dangers of the forbidden land to shake off their pursuit." Gong Shixi's already sinister expression became even more uncertain, and his mustache stretched again and again. After thinking it over, he thought the news should not be wrong. It was indeed possible, but it was beyond his expectations. He couldn't help but snort, "No wonder he won first place in the Rain of Meteors. He is so cruel. He would rather take risks in the forbidden area than live. He will not give up until he wins the championship. He even wants to shake off the entanglement and continue to look for the sacred fire."

I thought it was a sure thing, but unexpectedly such an accident happened. He called his accomplices over, discussed and confirmed the direction to the 'Forbidden Land of Wuming', and immediately ordered the group to change direction and head straight for the Forbidden Land of Wuming. As I said, if he couldn't win the championship, he would never let Shi Chun and his gang win. He had to kill Shi Chun and his gang, otherwise he would not be able to explain himself after he got out. So many people were watching them. What if he didn't stop them? Was he going to silence all the people around him? In his heart, he was also annoyed with Shi Chun's character. Why should he work so hard? It was originally an uncertain thing. It was normal that no one could win the first place. Even if he was punished, the degree of punishment was acceptable. Now you, Shi Chun, have shown up to show off your ability and turned an uncertain thing into a certain thing. What should I do? In the Divine Fire Realm, it is very difficult to be as well-informed as him. Of course, he also has the conditions and the specific information. Although some big sects are not as well-informed as him, they also have conditions that some small sects do not have. They can rely on their status and power to ask some small sects for help. For example, if they get the method to find the divine fire quickly, they can share one or two of the divine fire with you after finding it. Isn’t this a hope for a sect that couldn’t find a single flower? For example, the fifth-ranked sect in the weapon refining world, the Jinmaotang, did just that, but compared to the Qianyan Sect, their news lagged behind. At this time, this group of people in gray clothes were lurking deep in the earth's crust with disordered terrain, covering themselves with cloth and disguising themselves as stones in the dim light of large blocks of phosphorus underground. The leader was a man who looked quite good both in appearance and figure, but had a dull expression. His name was Mi Liangmeng. Someone came quietly to the side and was about to report something, but Mi Liangmeng turned around and gestured to him to keep quiet. After waiting for a while, the man whispered again: "Senior Brother..." This time, Mi Liangmeng turned his head and pointed at his mouth, his eyes deep, as if he had to swallow no matter how big the problem was. The man looked embarrassed and finally shut up completely. After the group lay in wait for about two hours, a ball of amber light finally emerged from the underground orifice. The dim light gradually turned into a rising amber flame, floating in the complex underground space, rendering the surroundings the color of withered ginkgo leaves. Anticipation and excitement suddenly filled the eyes of a group of Jinmaotang disciples. The flames drifted towards the relatively open area in the uneven zone, where there was an 18-story iron tower. A bead could be seen in the window of each floor, and each bead had a different color and size. And each bead is made of the finest substances of various properties that Jinmaotang has tried every means to collect over the years, such as stone gall, gold essence, ice soul and so on. This was also the bait-luring method that the previous generation of Jin Maotang who were looking for the divine fire came up with after they discovered by coincidence that the divine fire absorbed source substances.

For this reason, Jin Maotang has been quietly searching for these extremely fine substances over the past two or three hundred years. Unfortunately, there are thirty-six kinds of divine fire, but they have only found eighteen kinds of source materials. Some of them cannot be found, and some of them they don't know what they correspond to at all. For example, the "virtual flame" in the divine fire is not a virtual flame in the sense of an adjective, but a transparent flame. There is also "wind flame" and the like. I will continue searching in the future, but for now I will use as much as I find, at least to try and see if it works. The results proved that the efforts made by the predecessors were not wasted. They used their shoulders to raise the heights of future generations. The people of Jinmaotang have captured six sacred fires this time. At this moment, the flame floated to the front and back of the iron tower, circling around for a few times before coming to a stop. Then, a light yellow mist began to float out from the plain-looking waxy yellow stone gall in the tower and was sucked into the body by the flame. At this moment, the formation mechanism in the iron tower was triggered. In order to protect those extremely refined objects, the windows of the eighteen floors of the tower suddenly closed at the same time, and the lock formation was also triggered at the same time. An inverted bowl-shaped virtual wave ripple appeared and disappeared. The amber flame suddenly sensed the danger and quickly moved away, but it hit the blocked virtual wave ripple again. It was blocked by the invisible object and could not escape, so it suddenly hit it madly. Mi Liangmeng and others lifted the camouflage cloth and rushed over. With a series of bangs, they took down the seventh sacred fire of this trip. A group of Jinmaotang disciples cheered. After controlling the divine fire, Mi Liangmeng turned his head to look at the fellow apprentice who was about to speak and asked, "What's the matter?" The junior fellow then stepped forward and said, "We have discovered the whereabouts of Shi Chun and the others." Mi Liangmeng simply said: "Put away the magic tools and go find them." He handed the divine fire in his hand to another junior brother, "You stay here and absorb this divine fire." He had absorbed a similar divine fire, and a total of four divine fires. Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the disciple who received the divine fire bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you, Senior Brother." "Leave two of you to guard him, and the others follow me." Mi Liangmeng threw down his words and turned away. He looked calm and indifferent from beginning to end, and even had no reaction when the divine fire came into his hands... Gong Shixi was not the only one who expected Shi Chun to go to the exit area. However, Gong Shixi might not be as well-informed about the news, so some people also rushed there to see if there was a chance to get a piece of the pie. So the disciples of the Liantian Sect who were scattered around the exit discovered something unusual. How come some people from the sect started to return when the exit of the Divine Fire Domain was far from being opened? Did they give up on the search for the Divine Fire? It was very abnormal. Zuo Zisheng, who was in charge here, naturally wanted to find out the situation. Given the status and strength of the largest sect, it was not a secret, and the people who were found did not hide the situation. Zuo Zisheng realized later that his Liantian Sect was involved in a rumor. He only replied that someone was spreading rumors and there was no need to explain anything more. If explanation had been useful, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. What puzzled him was that after sending so many people out and asking people from many sects about the whereabouts of Shi Chun and the others, no one brought back any news about the rumors. After meeting with the leaders of his own faction and discussing the situation, Zuo Zisheng said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Either there are spies from other sects in our Liantian Sect, or there are undercover agents from other sects in Shudao Mountain." Several people understood what he meant. Yan Ketao asked curiously, "What is the purpose of spreading this rumor? It doesn't seem like it was done by someone who was plotting against the Divine Fire. Could it be revenge after the talks with Shi Chun and the others broke down?" Zuo Zisheng: "These are not important. We have the leverage over Shi Chun and his men. Once they come, they will have no choice but to hand over the secrets. Once we get the secrets, we will immediately run away and look for our divine fire. As for whether they are willing to share with others, that is their business. We don't need to worry about it." Yan Ketao nodded and smiled, "Brother Zuo, maybe it's not a bad thing. If we cooperate with Shi Chun normally and find the divine fire, we have to share it with both sides. If he is trapped here, it can't be our fault. If our family uses the secret method to enjoy the divine fire alone, we may end up eating all the fat meat inside and outside." It refers to the sacred fire here and the rewards for winning in the outside world. Indeed, several people smiled knowingly after hearing this.

However, beautiful dreams are always easy to wake up from, and soon two disciples of the Liantian Sect came from afar to report back. It was actually because Shi Chun and others were entangled by a large number of people and the noise made a big difference, and the scattered people of Liantian Sect also found out about it. "The forbidden land of Wuming?" Several people wondered almost at the same time. The visitor said, "Yes, other sects have made such a judgment. We have assessed the situation and the direction, and have made the same guess. Shi Chun and his men are probably trying to use the dangerous environment of the 'Wu Ming Forbidden Land' to drive away those troubles." "You bastard." Zuo Zisheng couldn't help but curse, "Even after all this, you still want to eat alone." They shared the same judgment as Gong Shixi, and believed that Shi Chun and his gang wanted to get rid of the trouble and continue looking for the sacred fire. His right-hand man, the junior fellow apprentice, said, "Brother, if things continue like this, we're afraid they'll burn themselves in the forbidden area. That place is too dangerous. If they fall into the hands of others, we won't have the leverage to threaten other sects. Other sects will definitely not let them fall into the hands of others so easily. Then our efforts these past few days will be in vain." "Go, go, go." Zuo Zisheng waved his hands in annoyance, "I hope they are not so easy to capture. I hope we are still in time. Quickly gather some people and rush over. Just leave two people here to meet the people who come back." (End of this chapter)
