Chapter 384: Unable to Let Go The attack on the island in the middle of the lake stopped, and the attack on Li Hongjiu also stopped, but the aftermath of the thundering earthquake was still continuing, the collapsed mountain seemed to be unending, the tumbling rocks, the billowing smoke and dust obscured the starry sky, and the rumbling sound continued. Zuo Zisheng and the others who looked back at the aftermath turned pale with fright and their scalps numbed with fear. They all saw the crack in the void, which meant someone was attacking from a distance. He reached out his hand like a god, ignoring the void. To be so powerful, one must have cultivation level of at least a celestial being to achieve that! The people searching in the lake were all shocked and came out to see what was going on. The people searching in the mountains also came out. It would be difficult for the people searching in the direction of the attack to come out again. With such power, they might not even be able to find their bodies. Li Hongjiu, who fell at the foot of the mountain, stood up shakily, picked up the ice sheep with great effort, covered his mouth and nose with it, and breathed rapidly. His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were torn in many places. From the way he was panting, it was obvious that he was seriously injured and looked in a miserable state. Even so, it was enough to shock Zuo Zisheng and his gang. Under such a powerful attack, Li Hongjiu actually withstood it and was not dead yet? "Disciples of the Liantian Sect, retreat!" Zuo Zisheng suddenly shouted, and he hurriedly called out to his fellow disciples from the Liantian Sect, then ran away without looking back. It can't be said that he was taking the lead, he just gave everyone a reminder, and each faction called on their fellow disciples to run away.

Whether it was Gu Lianni's group from Shudao Mountain or Yin Tianlu's group from Jihuo Sect, they all fled in panic. The terrifying existence here has taken action. Are you not running away and waiting for death? Many people who came out of the lake didn’t know what was going on, so they just ran along, asking questions as they ran. There were still many people who couldn't find their fellow disciples who disappeared in the Roaring Land. They didn't dare to look for them any more, nor did they have any way to look for them any more. So the few remaining ones just ran away. All the luck, willpower, youth, boldness and following the trend turned into a panic escape at this moment. The direction of escape was quite consistent. No one scattered like birds and beasts, and no one dared to escape alone. In the future, they will do the same as their ancestors did and teach their younger generations not to come here. When all the noises of the collapse disappeared, Li Hongjiu was the only one left at the scene. No one cared about him, not even his fellow disciples. He took the pill himself, covered his mouth and nose with the Ice Sheep, and slowly regulated his breathing, while being highly alert to his surroundings. The gap in strength was so huge that he didn't even know where his opponent was, while his opponent could attack him from any direction at any time. He knew very well that the person who had such means had never used his full strength against him, otherwise there would be no possibility for him to stand up again. Soon, a billowing cloud of dust came from behind and engulfed him. Seeing that his opponent did not attack again, he did not dare to stay and provoke him any longer. He immediately turned around and left in the smoke and dust, riding the Fenglin and quickly fled the scene, but he vomited blood several times in the air. Jiu Ye on the island in the middle of the lake snorted coldly, thinking that they were a group of guys who had taken some medicine wrong and had the guts to do something stupid. But they were just like that. He just taught them a lesson and they were all scared away. He didn't know how they dared to do that before. They were so despicable! "Uncle Master!" The disciples of Yanbao Sect who had been waiting there suddenly saw a person stumbling after falling to the ground. After seeing who it was, they all cried out in surprise and crowded over to support him. Anyone with eyes can see that this uncle-master was seriously injured. Last time he lost a sleeve, and this time it was obviously more serious. "Uncle-master, forget it if it doesn't work. We won't pursue Shi Chun anymore." Guang Haoyou supported Li Hongjiu and comforted her. Not only did he think so, in the eyes of a group of disciples of Yanbao Sect, their uncle must have suffered a loss in the fight with Shi Chun again, because they had seen their uncle being defeated by Shi Chun before, so they could completely accept it if their uncle was defeated again. Apart from Shi Chun, they didn't think that there was anyone else in other sects who could injure their uncle like this. If it was really the terrifying existence here who took action, their uncle might not be able to come back. Li Hongjiu pushed him away first and asked everyone for wine.

The wine gourd on his waist had been beaten and had been lost somewhere, but he still had some stock in his Qiankun bag. Wouldn't it be more convenient to have someone to serve him? Someone immediately took out another jar of wine to honor him. Li Hong opened the jar of wine and took a sip first, then rinsed his mouth with a gulp and spat out the blood in his mouth. Then he gulped down two more gulps and turned his head to the ice sheep that Guang Haoyou had sent him to take a few more breaths. After his breathing became even, he waved his hand and pushed away the people who were supporting him on both sides. He looked around at everyone and said, "Go back immediately to the exit, inform the elders of the relevant situation, and wait for the exit to open. What I mean is, let me handle the matter of the divine fire, and you don't need to intervene anymore. Of course, if the elders say otherwise, then just ignore what I said, but I suggest that even if you want to search again, don't enter the forbidden area again." This statement excluded himself. Guang Haoyou said seriously, "Although we don't have much ability, we can still help Uncle Shi." Li Hongjiu: "Listen, each sect has already sent many people back. I didn't have time to inform you before. The elders saw that the people from other sects had returned and might be waiting for you. You should go immediately to answer the elders' questions. After meeting the elders, my words don't count. The elders will make the final decision." Seeing him say this, as if it involved competition with other sects, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, so they had to acquiesce. "Then Uncle Master, you..." Someone asked kindly, but was immediately interrupted by Li Hongjiu, "I will find a place to heal my wounds first. You don't need to worry about me here." Guang Haoyou: "Then let's leave a few people to protect Uncle Master." "I stayed." "I'll stay too." Everyone was vying to stay. But Li Hongjiu interrupted them with a wave of his hand, saying, "No one should stay. Staying would only make them a burden. Let's go, let's go, hurry back to see the elders immediately. Don't make the elders wait anxiously. If the elders don't know the situation, something bad will happen." The effect of using the situation to coerce the "elders" is quite good. Finally, the group of disciples left reluctantly. Li Hongjiu stood on the top of the hill and watched them go. From beginning to end, he never denied that he was beaten by Shi Chun, nor did he tell who beat him. As for the truth, it is no secret. So many people saw it, and the other people from the sect who returned alive will naturally tell it. After watching them leave, Li Hongjiu took a few more gulps of wine and turned to look in the direction of the Frozen Lake. Regardless of which terrifying existence had injured him, he felt that it might not be related to the island in the middle of the lake. He was deeply impressed by what happened on the island in the middle of the lake, and there was definitely something fishy going on. That place is the core of the entire forbidden area, the real legendary place of the entire Divine Fire Domain, and the place where many top celebrities have failed. What happened there? In short, his curiosity about the center of the forbidden area was not dispelled, but became even more curious because of his previous trip. He decided to go alone to investigate. As for whether he could return alive, he had no confidence. This was why he did not tell his disciples the truth. If he told them that a terrifying existence had taken action, those guys would definitely try their best to stop him, which would make him feel helpless. The path he takes is destined to be outside the norm. Before that, he really needed to find a place to heal his wounds. He looked around, took out his wind scales, and flew in a certain direction... On Lihuo Island, a large number of floating lotus lanterns fell, attracting many people to watch... "Are there really hundreds of divine fires?" Jin Guiqi, the elder of Shudao Mountain, stared at Pang Hou and asked in surprise. In the exit area, all the people who had reported back from the disciples of the ten major sects have returned. There were only disciples from the ten major sects. There was no need for the disciples from other sects to rush back. There were no elders from their own sects to guard the exit, so they had nothing to say. Why did they join in the fun? It was a thankless task, so there was no need to say anything. There are rules for the elders of the ten sects to be in charge here. No elder can hide from everyone to talk privately with his disciples, so things that were not secrets naturally came out. The first one was that Shu Daoshan and Shi Chun joined forces to make hundreds of sacred fires.

The elders from all factions were frightened, and they all looked at Shu Daoshan with strange eyes. Jin Guiqi knew that he had secretly cooperated and helped, but he didn't expect it to become so big, so he had to confirm it. Pang Hou, who came back to report the news, immediately replied: "Elder, these are all rumors. We joined forces with Shi Chun, and only got about twenty divine fires in total. I don't know who was behind the scenes to sow discord and spread the rumor that there were hundreds of divine fires, causing various factions to join forces to hunt us down. The Liantian Sect has planted a traitor among us, and they actually know the real situation..." Pointing to the reporter from the Liantian Sect, he explained in a burst of words. The other party immediately refuted, saying that they had never planted any traitors, and that it was you, Shudaoshan, who treated people unfairly, which led them to join our Liantian Sect and so on. This kind of argument will not lead to any result, but the fact that one force can get more than 20 sacred fires is enough to arouse the interest of the elders of various factions. They didn't care about whether he was a traitor or not, they only cared about finding the secret method of the sacred fire, so they couldn't help asking. However, how could Pang Hou tell them? He insisted that he didn't know and that Shi Chun would never let Shu Daoshan know. For a moment, all kinds of struggling emotions lingered on the hilltop near the exit. After the elder of Jihuo Sect learned that Black Tiger had fallen and was killed by Shi Chun and his gang, he could no longer sit still and paced back and forth with a snort of anger. Upon learning that Li Hongjiu had displayed his prowess and was able to defeat several fifth-grade magic weapons with his two swords, the elders of various factions stood up in shock. The Yanbao Sect sent out such a monstrous figure who couldn't even take down a bunch of fifth-grade magic weapons. How could they continue to fight? Instead, the elder of Yanbao Sect sat there dumbfounded under the gaze of all the elders. Obviously, this elder of Yanbao Sect did not know that the strength of the sect master's beloved disciple had reached such a level. If it was true, let alone in a sect in the weapon refining world, even in a sect that was good at fighting and killing, it would definitely be a top-notch existence. At this time, the news that Li Hongjiu suffered heavy damage in the forbidden area had not yet been reported back... In the dimly lit valley, the Mingshan Sect's group kept looking towards a closed cave entrance. Outside the cave, Wu Jinliang was personally guarding them. Of course there were people in the cave. Shi Chun was inside, and he brought in Wu Shanshan. No one knew why Shi Chun brought Wu Shanshan in alone. Seeing a man and a woman alone in there inevitably made people imagine a lot. It turns out that there is someone else who is interested in the 'beauty of imperfection'. No wonder that person is so determined to save him. I can't help but feel sick just thinking about it. I don't know if my guess was right or not. Anyway, although no one said anything, the glances they made at each other said it all. There was something strange in the way they looked at Wu Jinliang. With a loud crash, the blocking stones were pushed open, and Shi Chun, looking refreshed, walked out of the cave. Wu Jinliang, who was standing beside the cave entrance, waved his sleeves and swept away the dust. As for Wu Shanshan, whose magic power had been sucked dry, there was no way she could come out again. Shi Chun no longer needed to carry such a burden with him. His goal had been achieved, so there was no need to keep her alive. Xu Anchang, who had come close to the cave entrance, subconsciously glanced at two things inside the cave, but asked a serious question, "Brother Chun, what should we do next?" Shi Chun's gaze became somewhat long, and he said slowly: "Shi is not the kind of person who abandons his friends. I have a friend who fell on the island in the middle of the lake, and I have to find her back." He could not easily let go of the strange anomalies of the island in the middle of the lake. The Ninth Master did not dare to take action. Yes, in his opinion, he just did not dare! (End of this chapter)
