Chapter 372: Earth Center Tower Wu Jinliang didn't notice that he was talking a lot today. Maybe it's because I've never met any truly clean people. Shi Chun also looked up at the starry sky, which was truly vast and boundless. He murmured, "Why do people live? Isn't it just for selfishness? We have never seen anyone who can live as long as the stars. Fortunately, the two of us are still alive. Is it possible for us to be as bright and beautiful as the stars?" So Wu Jinliang kept silent, and looked at the stars with him, facing the direction where Zhen'er left, and the two of them remained silent for a long time. Seeing that they didn't respond for a long time, the others also came over. Xu Anchang asked where Zhen'er had gone alone. Shi Chun gave an irrelevant answer and asked him to take out the 'Boundless Banner' and asked You Mu to take out the 'Six Paths Golden Wheel'. He looked at the two treasures repeatedly and confirmed that the two treasures were indeed damaged and unresponsive. Xu Anchang and You Mu couldn't help but feel heartbroken and couldn't help but talk about the damn thunder. They watched the fight between Shi Chun and Li Hongjiu, and naturally knew that the thunder and lightning that destroyed their treasures was caused by Li Hongjiu. Upon hearing the relevant remarks, everyone in the Mingshan Sect was shocked, and how could Wu Jinliang not ask what was going on?

You don't know until you ask. Once you ask, you will know how terrifying Li Hongjiu is. He controlled countless thunders to kill countless monsters and destroyed many magic weapons of various sects. The scene is shocking just thinking about it. After talking about how powerful Li Hongjiu was, the two naturally had to praise Shi Chun, saying that Shi Chun had fought Li Hongjiu head-on and might have injured Li Hongjiu, and that if Li Hongjiu had not cheated, he would have died at the hands of Shi Chun. In fact, they were not quite sure whether Li Hongjiu had cheated or not, but since Shi Chun had said that before, they just took the opportunity to flatter Shi Chun, and now it seems like they are praising Shi Chun's stinky feet. There is no way, the strength is there. Not to mention anything else, according to what Shi Chun said, all the people in Mingshan Sect are still alive, but the people in Siding Sect listened to those two and are now almost all dead. Upon hearing what happened, the Mingshan Sect's group was naturally shocked, and even doubted whether the leader could be so powerful. Not to mention them, even Wu Jinliang had some doubts. The Chuntian he knew couldn't be so powerful. How could he defeat such a huge thunder sword head-on? How could that be a myth? Seeing that no one believed him, Xu Anchang wanted to explain what happened in detail, but Shi Chun said coldly: "Since you like to talk, just keep your mouth shut. I'll keep these two things for now." He was worried about not being able to find an excuse, but now he found one and put the two damaged treasures in his hands into his own pocket. He finished it quickly and without any scruples. After the fight with Li Hongjiu, and with his cultivation level skyrocketing, his confidence was different when he looked at these two. He is not afraid if these two people start fighting without their magic weapons. It should be noted that Wu Jinliang now holds the valuable treasures left by Black Tiger. To put it bluntly, these two things belong to him from now on, and he will not return them. It is better to find an excuse than to snatch them directly. Why did he go to such great lengths to get the two broken treasures? Of course, he wanted to take them out to repair them. If he couldn't repair them properly, he could just break the 'Boundless Banner' open, as there were two high-level magic weapons inside. "..."Xu Anchang and You Mu were stunned on the spot, and were speechless because of Shi Chun's reasons. Given everyone's secret identities and backgrounds, there are some things that cannot be said casually, and they don't know if their words just now have inadvertently leaked any secrets. The two wanted to tell him that they just wanted to flatter him, but they didn't know the reason. But it was impossible to remain silent, Xu Anchang said awkwardly: "Brother Chun, it is better not to bother you with these two things, we should keep them ourselves." Shi Chun: "That's all. I'll give you an explanation after we get out." It was at least an excuse to avoid a direct fallout. After all, keeping these two people might still be useful. In short, the word "sect" was particularly meaningful. Xu and You knew what the other party was referring to. They trembled a little, but finally shut up and watched the two treasures being handed over.

A damaged treasure is still a treasure after all. The two of them hated themselves for being so foul-mouthed that they flattered the horse's hoof. However, it is so difficult to speak with strength. Wu Jinliang knew Shi Chun too well. After watching this scene with his eyes rolling around, he couldn't help but chuckle. The Mingshan Sect's group looked at each other in bewilderment. If nothing else, they at least noticed that Xu and You's attitude in front of the boss had changed. They became wary and humble. They still remembered clearly their attitude when they were looking for the sacred fire in the Iron Forest, and it had only been a short time. Some people's progress is long and gradual. Some people's progress is as rapid as a raging fire... There is a big lake among the vast mountains. The lake is calm and covered with ice and frost. It looks white in the darkness, revealing a sense of eternal sadness. There is an island in the middle of the lake with a sharp peak. The island is the outline of a whole piece of stone with several cave-like holes. Sitting on the top of the island is a stone statue of a human, with his knees bent, his chin supported by his elbows, and his eyes closed, as if he is thinking. Zhen'er floated over and landed on the island, in front of the stone sculpture. After carefully looking at it for a while, he timidly said, "Master Jiu." Then a buzzing sound came from inside the stone sculpture. "What are you doing here again? Do you really think I won't kill you?" The motionless speaking scene of the stone sculpture, contrasted with the surrounding environment, exudes an inexplicable sense of weirdness. Zhen'er said carefully, "I want to see the master." The stone sculpture hummed, "Get lost!" The meaning is very simple, you can't see that person just because you want to. Zhen'er didn't leave. Instead, she mustered up the courage to say, "Someone has come to propose to me." After these words came out, the stone sculpture was quiet for a while, as if it was in a state of thought. While thinking, it began to crack, and blue light bloomed in the cracks, starting from the head. As more and more blue light bloomed, the cracked shell began to peel off, shattering into pieces, revealing human skin and clothes. Soon, the person under the charred and broken shell was fully revealed, and the island became brighter. He is a shirtless young man wearing a sleeveless jacket, cropped shorts, barefoot and with his eyes closed. He has a bun hairstyle and wears a simple metal bracelet on each of his wrists. His clothes appear simple and plain, but the materials used are of a high-end quality. There was a flicker of fire in the closed eyelids, and blue flames burned out of the body and out of all the orifices. The young man opened his eyes, which were empty except for blazing blue flames. As his body stretched out, he began to float up, dancing lightly like a snowflake, around Zhen'er. Zhen'er seemed a little afraid of him. She bit her lip and turned around to face him, but the other party's erraticness made it impossible for her to face him. "Oh, it's a beautiful woman's dress. Did the one who proposed marriage give it to you?" The boy's voice also had a strange and erratic feeling. Zhener nodded proudly. "It seems that you have really found someone who wants to marry you, but there are very few women among the people coming in from outside..." The dancing figure finally landed in front of Zhen'er. The flames from the seven orifices suddenly shrank and disappeared. The flames in the eyes condensed into a pair of seemingly ordinary eyes, and the light on the island also disappeared. He looked at Zhen'er's clothes and asked, "Is the one proposing marriage a man?"

The voice now lost its buzzing and erratic feeling, and it was no longer the voice of a teenager, but the voice of an adult man. Zhen Er was surprised, "Of course it's the man who proposes marriage, how can a woman..." She seemed a little uncertain and asked back, "Can a woman do it, too?" The young man did not answer and asked again: "Are you going to marry me?" Zhen'er puffed out her full chest proudly again, "Yes." The young man asked curiously, "Does the man who proposed marriage to you carry other women's clothes with him?" "Brought it to me..." Zhen'er replied crisply, and then she seemed to react. Something seemed to be wrong, and her expression was a little confused. The young man turned his head and looked into the distance. "There was a lot of noise, countless thunders descended, and many of the fire spirits sent to encircle and suppress them died. The boss said that there are masters again this time, and we haven't seen them for many years. Did you see who made the move?" Zhen Er was still confused and shook her head, "I didn't see it." Young man: "Wasn't it the one who proposed the marriage who did it?" "No..." Zhen'er denied it at first, then hesitated and realized that she didn't see the situation that Jiu Ye described at all. The boy said: "There are good people and bad people outside. There are few good people and many bad people. Everyone who comes in wants to eat us. Are you sure they really want to marry you?" Zhen'er didn't know, but she stuck out her porcelain-white neck and said, "He is already my man, and I am already her woman." The boy was curious and made a finger circle gesture, "Did you guys do anything to have a baby?" Zhen Er raised her head and chest and said, "It's almost there. We've already kissed, many times." The boy's eyes lit up, and he seemed to want to ask something, but a towering and buzzing voice interrupted him, "Let her come down." The sound seemed to come from beneath the frozen lake surface. As the sound rang out, cracks appeared on the lake surface within a certain range around the island. Zhen'er suddenly looked delighted. So the boy floated back to his original position, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." Zhen'er nodded, without any courtesy, and flew onto the ice. He cast a spell to step on the three-foot-thick ice and took the opportunity to escape into the cold lake below. Once you go underwater, you can find that the part of the lake island that is exposed above the water is not even the tip of an iceberg. Zhen'er's posture underwater was light and graceful. She floated along the underwater slope of the island for more than ten feet before sinking like a cliff. It was visible that there was a rough rock pillar-like structure under the island. The reason why it is visible under the ice is that there are window-like holes in the rough column, with flickering flames inside, but water cannot enter. Zhen'er sank quickly all the way down and reached the bottom of the lake, where she saw a real cliff. The rock-like columns seemed to be inserted into the abyss under the lake. When we reached the bottom of the lake, we just passed a layer of rock pillar-like structure. After sinking into the abyss, I saw the bright cave entrance on the second floor. A buzzing sound came from inside. "Does it look like a young man?" Zhener replied, “Yes.” When we sank to the third floor, we heard another woman's buzzing voice, "Is it a good-looking man?" Zhen Er replied: "He is handsome, the most handsome man in the world."
