Chapter 371 Proposal The fact was exactly as Shi Chun expected. Wu Shanshan really followed their route and brought people to chase them. When the troops from various factions landed and saw that they were back at the tiankeng, they were muttering to each other. Some scolded Shi Chun for being cunning, while others said that it was normal, saying that Shi Chun was not familiar with the forbidden area, so he naturally tried to follow the familiar route. More people are wondering, who had nothing to do after eating so much that they filled up such a big sinkhole? The man who did the good deed seemed not to have heard anything and drank from the wine gourd. The Yanbao Sect's group was also quiet, occasionally glancing at the man who was forcing them to drink. Now everyone understood that Junior Master's usual low-key attitude was right, and that this was the way they should be, which could indeed save them a lot of trouble. Gu Lianni, who was looking around, took the opportunity to motion Yuan Yao to talk aside. "Uncle-master, what's wrong?" Yuan Yao was puzzled. Gu Lianni whispered, "We didn't come as agreed with Shi Chun before. We broke the agreement. I'm afraid he will hate us. Is it possible for us to get his secret method to find the divine fire?" Yuan Yao thought for a moment and whispered back, "The secret method of finding the sacred fire is very complicated. The ten elders guarding the door will definitely be alarmed. At that time, there will be no rules or regulations. I believe Shi Chun himself is clear about this. If he wants us in Shudao Mountain to help them get out, he has to find us. It is enough for us to take the lead. The rest is not up to us. With Elder Jin here, we can leave it to the sect to handle. If there is a good result, we will naturally be credited. If the result is not good, it will not be attributed to us. "

This is the truth, but Gu Lianni herself wants to do things well. However, things have come to this point, and she can only do as Yuan Yao says. She had never expected that as the daughter of the headmaster, she would one day do such a thing without seeking merit but only wanting to avoid mistakes. She used to despise such disciples in the sect, but when the time came, she found that she was the same. What the two of them didn't know was that the Jihuo Sect's Yintianlu was glancing at this side from time to time. After Hei Hu got into trouble, his fellow disciples brought back news that Shi Chun had given the secret method of finding the sacred fire to Shu Daoshan. He had not forgotten this, nor could he have forgotten it, and he had been secretly thinking about it in his mind. According to the accounts of his fellow disciples, when Hei Hu got into trouble, Shi Chun wanted to settle the matter peacefully at first and had no intention of taking any action at all. It was Hei Hu and his men who took action first, which led to the unexpected consequence. In other words, the so-called secret method that Shi Chun gave to Shu Daoshan was very likely true given the situation at the time. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I definitely need to confirm it. There was no other way. Black Tiger, who had been his hope for the championship, was dead, and the magic weapons given by the sect were basically destroyed. The sect's treasure, the 'Broken Blade', was also staked out. The entire sect was eagerly waiting for him to come out with results. If he really had to go out empty-handed, he would not be able to explain to the sect even if he died. And obtaining the secret method to find the sacred fire became his only hope to turn things around. If he could bring the secret method back, it would be enough to atone for his sins, and his merits would outweigh his faults. Whether the secret method is unique or shared by everyone determines the size of the merit. Therefore, he didn't dare to announce it to the outside world and could only confirm it quietly among himself. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he couldn't let people from other sects know about it. This was the only way to keep the company. If it really doesn't work, it's better than nothing. It won't be too late to unite other factions to put pressure on Shudao Mountain. However, the people of Shudao Mountain were almost always guarded by the Liantian Sect's group, and he had no chance to intervene privately, so he kept observing and waiting for his chance to act. Gong Shixi, who was at the edge of the crowd, was also staring at the group of people, stepping out of the situation to observe the various reactions of the people from various factions. He paid more attention to several major sects other than the four major sects of the Liantian Sect, and found that the people from the Jinmaotang, Dongxiao Island, and Luoyan Mountain were obviously mixed together. His fellow disciples, Zhou Wudao and Xun Lishan, met and whispered for a few words, then walked over to his side. After signaling other fellow disciples to separate the people nearby, Zhou Wudao whispered, "Brother, I don't think there's anything to worry about. Things have come to this point, and those old guys at the exit won't let them out easily." Gong Shixi glanced at him and whispered, "What if he hands over the secret method in exchange, or directly discloses the secret method of finding the sacred fire? They don't care about the secret method, they only care about whether they can win the championship this time. As long as they can get that thing, the secret method is insignificant to them and they can give it up at any time." As he spoke, he moved a little closer to the two of them, "We can't afford to make any mistakes this time. The Mingshan Sect's gang must die. It would be best if not a single one survived. At the very least, we can't let the key figures who determine our success or failure escape alive!" Zhou Wudao and Xun Lishan both looked serious when they heard this.

Gong Shixi continued to explain: "It is not easy for us to take action. We must keep in touch with the spies of Liantian Sect. We will need him to make some movements at critical moments." Hearing this, the two nodded slightly. As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became agitated again, and Wu Shanshan, who was leading the search, set off with several other major sects. So the people from all the factions started to move out one after another. After everyone had been running for a while, they discovered something was wrong. The route that Shi Chun and his group had taken before made people think that they were going to leave the forbidden area the same way, but now they were turning in another direction, seemingly heading towards the center of the forbidden area. The horror of that place seems to leave no room for luck. Should we continue? Some sects, seeing the situation, felt that they could not afford to play with it, so they gritted their teeth and withdrew. In a sect like this, the leader actually still wants to fight, but the opponents are mainly those fellow disciples who feel that even if they get the benefits, it will not be their turn. Since everyone is against it, the leader cannot suppress them and can only give up. Once one sect takes the lead, other sects will follow suit. After a lot of noise, more than a dozen small sects withdrew, about a hundred people left, leaving the forbidden area to try their luck outside the forbidden area within a limited time... The colorful starry sky was dotted with sparkling stars, the dim earth was motionless and dead, and a group of shadowy figures fell from the sky. They were Shi Chun and his gang. Shi Chun pulled Zhen'er aside to talk alone, and they hugged each other before parting. Shi Chun waved and watched Zhen'er fly away. Behind the mountains where Zhen'er went is the Earth's Core Tower. Shi Chun didn't know what the Earth's Core Tower looked like, as he had never seen it, but he heard from Zhen'er that it was, as the name suggests, a tower located underground, built by the God of Fire in ancient times. This couple was so mysterious that Wu Jinliang couldn't help it. He ran over and made an excuse, "Where did she go? Everyone is asking. They all want to know what we are doing." Shi Chun took out the ice sheep to breathe and simply replied, "Propose marriage." When others heard this, they might not know what it meant, but it was different for Wu Jinliang. When Zhen'er first talked about the proposal of marriage, he was one of the parties involved. He was listening on the side and even interrupted to ask about the details. Naturally, he understood it as soon as he heard it. He immediately widened his eyes and said, "Chun Tian, ​​don't scare me. This is not fun. This is too dangerous." He didn't believe that Shi Chun could marry Zhen'er, a spirit with a body that was neither human nor ghost. Shi Chun knew that he would not believe it, so he did not hide it from him and said simply and directly: "I know it is dangerous, so I will let Zhener go to communicate first and see the situation. If the communication is successful, we can get close to the Earth Core Tower in the name of 'proposing marriage'. We can only get close, but not go in, and wait for those guys behind us to arrive." Then he tilted his head to look at him and said meaningfully: "It should be safe for those who have permission to approach." Wu Jinliang understood the meaning instantly. Otherwise, those who chased them would be in big trouble. This is to use the help of those old monsters in the Earth Core Tower to get rid of those guys who are entangled with us. But he had to worry about one thing, "Those old monsters are powerful enough to attack from a distance. Can we get away safely afterwards?" Shi Chun: "Let Zhen'er calm those old monsters down. We can leave directly if we can. If not, we can say that there is no interference from the pursuit. We need to prepare the items for the marriage proposal. Doesn't that old man want to see what a proper marriage proposal is like in the outside world? They have never seen it. If necessary, let Xu Anchang and You Mu represent the man and stay at the woman's side to make the connection." Wu Jinliang grinned. What he said sounded nice. The purpose of the ghost connection was to reassure the old monsters and hold Xu and You as hostages. Shi Chun didn't take the fate of those two people seriously, let alone Wu Jinliang. It turned out that it had been planned long ago. He was relieved to hear that. However, he still blinked curiously and asked, "And then?"

Shi Chun: "What else do we need to do? Of course, we need to quickly get out of the forbidden area. The monsters inside can't get out anyway, and they can't do anything to us if we get out of the forbidden area. Next, we just need to hide at the exit of the Divine Fire Domain and leave. Without the presence of Wu Shanshan and the others, no one will know where we are hiding." Wu Jinliang chuckled, "I'm talking about that silly woman who was kissing you. She's pretty and devoted to you. To be honest, such simple and clean people are rare. I'm afraid you won't meet one outside. It's a pity to lose her. She can't escape the boundary of the forbidden area. If she gets desperate and rushes out, bang, she will explode. No, she may not have a chance to run to the border. Those old monsters will know they have been deceived and will not let her go." Shi Chun glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "We won't see each other again after we separate. As for what will happen to her in the future, it's not our turn to worry. You and I are just passing guests to her. Even if we don't lie to her, she can't leave. If she learns to stop having illusions, she may live a better life in the future." Everyone has compassion, no matter if they are realistic or not. Wu Jinliang shook his head and sighed, "If she can really help us escape this disaster, I hope she can save her life from the old monster. I hope she can live like you said. This woman is also unlucky. She was deceived by Situ Gu and met us... You are the best. You hugged, touched, and kissed me. You didn't do anything else behind my back, right? Well, I don't think I have the time and opportunity." (End of this chapter)
