Chapter 349 The Same Dilemma "Run away?" Wu Shanshan was very surprised. She looked at the large crowd of people from various factions accompanying them in the sky. Could they run away? She could only believe that Shudao Mountain, the second-ranked weapon-refining sect, was indeed worthy of its reputation. But what she didn't understand was why Yin Tianlu was so arrogant if he wasn't so sure? In order to save face for the Jihuo Sect, Jin Hao whispered the true situation into Wu Shanshan's ear. After hearing this, Wu Shanshan was speechless. She knew that it was all over now and the matter could basically be stopped. There were masters hiding on Shi Chun's side and there was no way to deal with it anymore. Shudao Mountain was controlled by the Liantian Sect and the Yanbao Sect, and even the Jihuo Sect had to stand aside. How could they continue? However, her speechlessness and helplessness were only on the surface. In her heart, she was secretly relieved to some extent. Well, it was really impossible to do anything about it. If the higher-ups investigated, she could at least give an explanation. Yin Tianlu and his group were also stunned after hearing the report from their fellow disciples. It was as if the sky had fallen. Black Tiger was killed? What about the Jihuo Sect's victory? What about the Jihuo Sect's treasure, the Broken Desolate Blade? Especially regarding Yin Tianlu, he really didn't know how to explain to the sect after returning. He regretted sending Black Tiger to participate in the tracking, but wasn't that because he thought that Black Tiger's sense of smell could come in handy? The worst outcome would have been that Black Tiger could get out with all the absorbed divine fire, which at the very least would have been a big gain. What should he do now? He even felt a little resentful towards Hei Hu. Master Chun had already given you the secret method to find the divine fire, and had already indicated that he did not have the secret method. Why were you so anxious to do it? Couldn't you wait a little longer if you wanted to confirm it? Couldn't you be more cautious and wait until the large group of people arrived? He really had no idea what Hei Hu was thinking. Wu Shanshan also walked up to him and comforted him, "No one would have thought that Wu Jinliang was so hidden. His cultivation and background might be something else." Yin Tianlu denied it firmly, "Impossible. It is impossible for him to escape inspection and come in after breaking through to the human immortal realm." Wu Shanshan also thought about this, but still reminded him, "I know it's impossible, but the facts are right in front of us. The magic weapon attack launched by Black Tiger at that time did not even touch Shi Chun, but it shocked Shi Chun to spit blood. It can be seen how powerful it was. However, Wu Jinliang was able to counterattack and kill Black Tiger with one sword. Other things can be fake, but can Black Tiger be killed without any resistance? Black Tiger can't risk his life to cooperate with him in a fake." A disciple of the Jihuo Sect who had just returned also said, "Yes, Senior Brother, just look at the big knife that Wu Jinliang used. It's abnormally large. It doesn't look like a normal person's weapon at all."

Yin Tianlu frowned, unable to understand what was going on. Wu Shanshan was afraid that he would drag her into this, so she added, "Wu Jinliang himself said that he had killed several people in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and also killed quite a few people in the Human Immortal Realm..." Yin Tianlu had heard this from his fellow disciples. What else did he want to eat? He raised his hand to stop them and said, "It is precisely because he said this that I feel more suspicious. If he really has that strength, does he need to shout at you? If he really has that strength, can you escape? How could he let you run back and tip off without any danger? Isn't he afraid of guarding the exit so that he can't get out? You should be silenced!" In fact, Wu Shanshan herself also felt a little suspicious, but after seeing the other party's terrifying strength with her own eyes, she asked: "Then what do you think the problem is? Do you want to go over and confirm it yourself?" Yin Tianlu frowned. Although he had doubts, it didn't mean he should take the risk himself. One was his own guess, and the other was an obvious fact. How could he dare to challenge it easily? What if it was true? He would be asking for death. If he had not been so cautious, he would have attacked directly when he surrounded Shu Daoshan. He even thought of Wukang Mountain, where Shi Chun and Wu Jin were from, and wondered if there was some kind of immobilization talisman. However, based on the description of the scene of the incident by his fellow disciples, there was no sign of any immobilization talisman being used. Besides, the talisman that can immobilize the magic weapon "Heaven, Earth and Man" must be at least a fifth-grade talisman. Even one fifth-grade talisman may not be useful. Black Tiger's magic weapon is equivalent to three fifth-grade magic weapons. The fifth-grade immobilization talisman basically only exists in legends, and it is even a question whether Wu Kangshan himself has it. The key point is that all the junior brothers witnessed it with their own eyes. They did not see any immobilization talismans being used. The two sides just charged head-on, and the fight was over with one sword. The difference in strength was extremely huge. The key is the Black Tiger's sudden attack, while the other party was passively counterattacking. Faced with Wu Shanshan's question, he was a little confused for a moment. What emerged in his mind was the confidence of the sect's top leaders before they saw him off. In the eyes of the sect's master, the Jihuo Sect should be a sure winner this time. If it weren't for the unexpected appearance of Shi Chun and his gang, the facts would have been exactly as the sect leader had expected. The victory would have been a sure thing. When half of the time was over, the black tiger had swallowed eight divine fires. By the end, it was certain that it would have absorbed more than a dozen divine fires. Who would be able to compete with it in the refining competition then? But the nonsense is that the accident at Mingshan Sect did happen, and an unexpected accident occurred here as well. After trying to calm himself down, he presented himself with options to solve the problem: either revenge, swallow his anger and admit defeat, or continue on the path to winning the championship. Under the current circumstances, there are only these three possibilities. Without giving it much thought, he ruled out the second option and swallowed his anger and admitted defeat. The consequences of returning to the sect were something he could not bear. Not only would his future be put on hold, but he would also be unable to hold his head up. As for the first option, he naturally wanted to take revenge, but he really couldn't figure out the strength of the enemy. He had already paid the price in blood. If he rushed in rashly, it would be like the sect had chosen a pig as its leader. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to act on his own without consulting other disciples. Once Hei Hu died, he said to Wu Shanshan, "Can you find them again?" "This..." Wu Shanshan hesitated, her eyes full of surprise and doubt. She wanted to ask, are you going to go and die again? Seeing her attitude, Yin Tianlu knew the answer and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Turn back immediately and catch up with them."

Wu Shanshan was unhappy when she heard this, "If I want to go with you, I only have these sisters left in Wangqing Valley, and I don't think I have the strength." Yin Tianlu tilted his head and gestured to the people from various factions in the air, "I didn't ask you to do it. Find where Shi Chun and the others are. Let those lingering guys try and we'll know if Wu Jinliang has any problems." Wu Shanshan understood what he meant as soon as she heard it. She felt that it made sense. She would not be willing to throw away the fifth-grade spiritual treasure. Moreover, she did not think that there was anything wrong with the previous defeat. He nodded in agreement immediately, and after discussing the details with Yin Tianlu, he turned around and set off again. This time, Wu Shanshan was not allowed to take the risk and go ahead. In order to reassure Wu Shanshan, Yin Tianlu led the crowd to go with her. The troops from various factions in the rear caught up again, and Yin Tianlu looked back and sneered. On the ground, Qianyan Zong, who was hiding far behind and watching, was not in a hurry to follow. Gong Shixi waved his hand and asked a few spies to follow first. He needed to confirm with Cheng Cheng one by one and get a definite reply before he would wade behind. He still had the same idea. He could hide behind the scenes to deal with Shi Chun, but he could never jump to the front. Once Shi Chun found out, it would be a fight to the death, and he would be impossible not to be dragged into the water. However, bumps and bumps will always exist, and if you follow the old path, you will always run into the same bumps and bumps. Suddenly, a group of people flew rapidly from the sky behind. They were hiding in the dark underground and were difficult to be discovered. The few scouts who had just been released happened to be noticed. It was just a coincidence. The group of people who came was quite large, so we sent someone to check it out to see if they were related to Shi Chun and his gang. What if it was Shi Chun and his gang? Because the people who came were none other than Gu Lianni and her group from Shudao Mountain, a large group of people from Liantian Sect were also there, as well as Li Hongjiu and his group from Yanbao Sect. Gu Lianni said that the secret method to find the sacred fire is in Shi Chun's hands, and they have yet to verify it. "Here!" The person searching below cast a spell and shouted. The three groups of people in the air looked at each other, swooped down quickly, and surrounded the Qianyan Sect group hiding in the corners. Several gold bullets were shot out, illuminating the Qianyan Sect group clearly. Gong Shixi, who was in the lead, felt very uncomfortable after being suddenly exposed, as if he was suddenly discovered without clothes. He looked around and saw that it was Zuo Zisheng and his gang. He was stunned and wondered why he ran into this guy again? He was already very uncomfortable when he was dragged to the front of the stage by the other party. Zuo Zisheng, the leader of the Liantian Sect, took a look and thought, "Oh, isn't this an old acquaintance?" He frowned and asked, "Why are you lying in ambush here?" It was no coincidence that they met here. The sects they were friendly with also left signposts for them along the way. Ambush? Ambush who? Gong Shixi didn't want to take the blame, so he quickly explained, "Brother Zuo misunderstood. I'm a little tired after traveling all the way, so I just stopped to rest." Xu Anchang and You Mu, who were coerced by the Liantian Sect's gang, kept a close eye on this guy. They already knew Gong Shixi's identity as a demon, and they also knew that it was Gong Shixi who was behind this. No one would believe that he was hiding on this route just because he was tired and wanted to rest. But the two of them didn't know what to say, because they didn't want to make it too obvious and let Gong Shixi realize that they were also members of the demonic path. Rest? Zuo Zisheng also noticed that there was something strange about the Qianyan Sect. They didn't seem to be very active in pursuing Shi Chun and his group, but they were on this route. What were they trying to do? After thinking for a while, he tilted his head and said, "I think you guys have rested enough. Let's go together. This forbidden area is quite dangerous, and we can take care of each other." I'm just saying it to show concern. I just feel that there is something wrong with these people. If I really encounter something wrong, I can use them as a stepping stone. Anyway, it feels weird. Gong Shixi declined politely, "Thank you, Brother Zuo, for your kindness. We are really unsure if we go any further. We don't plan to go any further and are ready to return." Li Hongjiu, who thought Zuo Zisheng was wasting time by nagging, couldn't help but blink when she heard the words, and instead looked at Gong Shixi formally. Zuo Zisheng raised his eyebrows, "Brother Gong, do you think I'm blind? We're preparing to return, but you're still sending spies ahead?" (End of this chapter)
