Chapter 329: The Suddenly Motivated Uncle

Chapter 329 The Suddenly Motivated Uncle The two of them also landed directly next to Duan Xiangmei. Here, only Duan Xiangmei, a petite girl, had been guarding in front of the light array. It can be seen that she was worried about Wu Jinliang's safety. It wasn't just Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi who were alarmed. They were so bored that there was no one left watching the lantern array except the on-duty personnel from each faction. Suddenly, a group of people appeared from nowhere, as if a strong wind had blown away a large number of fallen leaves. Soon, there were so many people that they were shoulder to shoulder. Even Young Master Nan appeared from nowhere, standing with his hands behind his back and looking up. Not to mention the lights falling like rain, the continuous falling of one by one is enough to be shocking. The frequency of falling is high, and sometimes many lights fall at the same time. Duan Xiangmei turned her gaze from the lantern array to Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi, and asked nervously, "Will the boss be okay?" How could the two of them be sure? Feng Chi could only comfort them, "The thirteen lamps of Mingshan Sect are safely there, so it should be fine." Suddenly, someone pointed at the lights not far away and shouted, "Look, the lights on Shudao Mountain have fallen again." Someone nearby responded, "The Extreme Fire Sect is the one that dropped the most. It's like a gust of wind. Almost half of them have been dropped." Everyone's eyes were searching the sky as if they were counting stars, and there was a lot of chatter.

Young Master Nan, who was with a few people, would occasionally glance at the natal lamps of Mingshan Sect. There was also a crowd of people on the top of the highest peak in Qiyun Valley. The leaders of various sects rushed over after hearing the news. It was useless for those who arrived first. The leaders of small sects took the initiative to stand aside, and the leaders of large sects naturally stood in the middle at the highest point. Gradually, the continuous falling of the natal lamps seemed to stop. "Ah…" Among the solemn-looking sect leaders, Yanbao Sect's leader Qu Wuming suddenly laughed out loud. He saw a large number of natal lamps falling from the Jihuo Sect, while his own Yanbao Sect seemed to be safe and sound. Then he looked at the gloomy face of the Jihuo Sect's leader Su Qiao, and thought about the fact that the other party had sent so many people in to die, and he couldn't help laughing. Many leaders could understand what he was laughing at. The Jihuo Sect had forced hundreds of people in at all costs, and as a result, more than fifty people died. If only twenty people had gone in, there would definitely not have been such a huge loss. It was a joke to have so many people die and then hand over the "Broken Blade" to others. The leader of Jihuo Sect glanced coldly at Yanbao Sect leader Qu Wuming. He knew what the other party was laughing at, but he had no evidence. He was holding back his anger and couldn't let it out, otherwise he would be slapped in the face. The head of Shudao Mountain, Gu Yanduo, also had a bad look on his face. More than ten natal lamps of the disciples of Shudao Mountain had fallen. You have to remember that his daughter was in there, and he didn't know what kind of danger she had encountered. You can imagine how she felt. Qu Wuming, who was not afraid of trouble, suddenly teased, "Could it be that the disciples of Shudao Mountain and Jihuo Sect fought to snatch the divine fire?" Luo Yan, the leader of Liantian Sect, said slowly, "It shouldn't be. If two sects were fighting for a divine fire, it would be unlikely that so many sects would be involved in the battle at the same time." He suddenly turned around and asked, "Xu Ao, have you counted the casualties?" "Wait a moment." The leader of the Lihuo Sect, who was communicating with someone behind the crowd, shouted in response. Not long after, he passed through the crowd and came to the front, reporting to everyone: "The natal lamps that fell during this period of time involved 115 sects, and the total number of casualties was 1,337." Hiss, there are quite a few people taking a deep breath. Qu Wuming's tone also became serious. "So many people were killed and injured at once. Did something happen? Did they run into some old monster inside?" Luo Yan stroked his beard and pondered, "The people who went in were all scattered. No matter how badly they encountered an old monster, there shouldn't be so many deaths at once. Could it be that they entered the 'Forbidden Land of Wuming'?" Many people looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this. Some people muttered, "I have repeatedly told my disciples not to go in." Someone else said, "Don't underestimate the allure of the divine fire. Half of the time has passed. If you get impatient, anything can happen." Standing behind Luo Yan, the slightly thin Situ Gu lowered his head in thought. He is always a man of few words.

Those who wanted to ask for his opinion hesitated and ultimately did not ask. Gu Yanduo, the head of Shudao Mountain, hesitated and said, "Even if some brave people ran into the forbidden area, it is impossible for hundreds of sects to ignore the warning and run in, right?" His disciples had been in trouble for a long time, and he had thought about the principles in this regard a long time ago, so what he said was the truth, and many leaders nodded secretly when they heard his words. Su Qiao, the leader of Jihuo Sect, stared at the light array and asked in a deep voice, "What on earth happened?" Gu Yanduo immediately responded, "The current Divine Fire Domain seems to be a little abnormal. My suggestion is to make an exception, open the passage again, and send a group of inspectors in." His disciples in Shudao Mountain had met with accidents early on, and he was also worried about his daughter's safety, so he had wanted to make this suggestion a long time ago. However, he knew in his heart that other sects would definitely not agree, and it would be useless to say it, so he had been holding back. Things are different now. With so many sects involved, this is the right opportunity. We need to understand the situation clearly before we can intervene. As the sect leader, I naturally have to do everything I can to help my own disciples. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Su Qiao, the leader of the Jihuo Sect, immediately agreed loudly: "Yes, the situation in the current Shenhuo Territory is indeed abnormal. We should send a group of inspectors to go in and see what is going on." Sect Master Qu of Yanbao Sect laughed and said, "What's so abnormal about such a sudden disaster? I think the real abnormality is your Jihuo Sect. So many people suddenly entered. Maybe the culprit who caused the heavy casualties among the various sects is your Jihuo Sect disciples." Regardless of whether what he said made sense or not, this statement did lead some people to make related associations. Could it really be related to the Jihuo Sect? Su Qiao immediately responded with an angry look, "Bullshit!" As soon as the curse words came out, the two sides were about to quarrel, and the head of Shudao Mountain Gu raised his hand to stop them, "Go away and quarrel slowly. What I mean is that we will send a group of people in just to find out the situation inside and supervise each other, and not interfere with the disciples of various sects searching for the sacred fire." Su Qiao immediately responded: "That's the truth." "Yes." "I agree too." Other related sects followed suit and shouted, all of them were the sects involved in the fall of the natal lamp just now. Sect Master Qu of the Yanbao Sect sneered. If people really went in, whether to intervene or not would depend on the situation. He didn't believe that these people were in a hurry to do good for everyone. He looked around and saw that most people did not agree. He could understand that the sects that were fine naturally wanted to maintain their advantage. He immediately looked at Luo Yan of the Liantian Sect and shouted, "Sect Master Luo, you are a reasonable person, please say something." Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Luo Yan. After a moment of hesitation, Luo Yan made a conclusion in a gentle voice, "Rules are rules, they cannot be changed lightly, let's wait and see." This was a well-spoken statement. It was neither an agreement nor a rejection, but it also insisted on one's own interests. It did not cut off any retreat, and it left both parties in disputing speechless. Gu Yanduo and Su Qiao looked at each other, both with gloomy faces and fell silent. The crowd watching at the foot of the mountain saw that the natal lantern array had stabilized again. After watching for a while and finding nothing unusual, most of them dispersed one after another. Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi who left did not call Duan Xiangmei, because they knew it was useless to call her, as this woman would not leave easily. Even as a cultivator, Duan Xiangmei looked much more haggard after working day and night these days. The place where bets were placed became lively again, and more people went to the ship tower that was like a palace on the sea. Young Master Nan, who was looking out on the coast, looked back at the floating array of lights and was relieved to see that Shi Chun's light was still there steadily. Soon, someone flew over and came to Master Nan's side to whisper a report, telling him what the leaders on the mountain had discussed before. After finishing speaking, the visitor raised a possible question, "Sir, could this anomaly be related to Shi Chun?"

He knew what Young Master Nan was expecting. He brought Shi Chun in to disrupt the situation. Only if the result was beyond everyone's expectations could they make a fortune. Young Master Nan was amused when he heard this. "Who knows? I hope so. There are a few people practicing fire-type skills around me. I guess they don't want to be lonely." He recalled the situation where Shi Chun asked him to act in the three sects where Tong Mingshan, Zhu Xiangxin and An Wuzhi were expelled. It can be imagined that Shi Chun's trip would not be in vain. That guy had a plan before entering the Divine Fire Domain, and he would not be satisfied unless he got a piece of the fat meat. Thinking of this, he paced on the beach with his hands behind his back and uttered a joking sigh, "The Land of Exile is such a great place!" Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi returned to the house and stood in front of the window again. Looking at the floating array of lights from afar, Xiang Lan'er said thoughtfully, "It's a pity that Master Qing refused to tell us which sect he was contacting with Shi Chun and the others from." Feng Chi understood what she meant. She knew which sect it was from. By looking at whether any natal lamp had dropped, she could probably judge the situation of Shi Chun and the others. She smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Everyone in Mingshan Sect is fine. The head of the Shi family will definitely be fine!" Seeing that she was still so confident in Shi Chun, Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but shake her head slightly and sighed, "It's a pity that the flesh that has been forged into an 'immortal body' is too obvious and can't pass the inspection. Otherwise, sending some people who have hidden their cultivation in will definitely be of great help." Feng Chi didn't think about this, and smiled and reminded: "Miss, please consolidate the realm you just broke through. I have to report your early breakthrough to the Saint. It will be good for both of us if the Saint looks at you differently." After saying that, he turned around and left. In the forbidden land of Wuming, under the dim starry sky, the Yanbaozong group, who were rushing at full speed, fell in front of a group of people who were gathering together to catch their breath and rest after fleeing in a panic. The third largest sect in the weapon refining world was unable to get nearly a thousand people who survived the calamity to stand up and express their respect. Some were exhausted after escaping, and some had injuries. Li Hongjiu, who was in the front with a wide robe and big sleeves, glanced at everyone and shouted, "What's going on? Come here and talk." Seeing how energetic he is, he really looks like the leader of Yanbao Sect. Guang Haoyou, the actual leader of the team along the way, was speechless about his lazy uncle, who didn't even care about absorbing the divine fire. However, when he heard that Shi Chun and his gang had entered the Wuming Forbidden Land that he longed for, he immediately became energetic and rushed to the Wuming Forbidden Land with a roar. This made Guang Haoyou very worried, but his uncle said that he came to snatch the secret method of finding the sacred fire from Shi Chun and his gang. Can he believe this? Not only him, but all the disciples of Yanbao Sect, looked at Uncle Li Hongjiu who suddenly became so active, with eyes full of worry. It’s a good thing that the master uncle has suddenly made progress, but everyone is really not happy. (End of this chapter)
