Mountain and sea lantern

Chapter 633 One Wave After Another

Upon hearing this nonsense, Wu Jinliang immediately understood. Chun Tian spoke with great conviction, but in reality, he might not be willing to take the risk. This adventure would likely fall on Yu Xuanbing.

The logic is simple: where did these seventy or eighty magical artifacts for entering and exiting the great formation come from? This is clearly a way to fool Yu Xuanbing.

The key point is that it's unlikely that a fake magic weapon would be given to Yu Xuanbing. This top assassin isn't stupid; he's seen how magic weapons are used. If he gets the magic weapon, he'll definitely try it out. If he tries it out, he'll be exposed. If he's exposed, how can they cooperate?

In other words, it's possible that the real golden token will be given to the other party.

The golden command arrow is the key to capturing the grand formation. Whoever possesses the real command arrow must risk their life to capture the grand formation; this is self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuanbing pondered the possibility of cooperation.

Seeing this, Shi Chun continued, "The guards inside the sacred mountain need to enter and exit the great formation through its exit, but with your magic weapon, you can escape from any direction at any time. To some extent, even if you fail in the event, this great formation is both a layer of protection and an obstacle for them, which is beneficial for your escape, senior."

Yu Xuanbing thought for a moment and then asked in return, "What about you? Are you sure you can escape in time with your cultivation level?"

Shi Chun hesitated for a moment before saying, "My idea is that as long as we can sneak into the temple and successfully dismantle the great formation, we'll immediately use the 'Death-Repelling Incense' to hide in the Underworld. However... you've seen the process of entering and leaving the Underworld; it will take a little time, and during that time, it depends on luck." Then, he suddenly said decisively, "Never mind, let's take a gamble. As long as you can lure all the people from the temple away, we'll have a chance!"

Wu Jinliang, who had been staring longingly at him, immediately turned to look at Yu Xuanbing.

Yu Xuanbing shook his head and said, "No one can guarantee that they can lure away all the people in your so-called temple. I can't do it either. Besides, the central area of ​​the divine mountain must be heavily guarded. With your cultivation level, it's probably impossible for you to even get close to the temple. You still want to enter the temple and steal things? Isn't that too much of a assumption?"

He was unaware of Shi Chun's right eye supernatural ability, and therefore thought it would be impossible for Shi Chun, with his cultivation level, to reach the temple.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chun, who had some understanding of his supernatural abilities, looked on with admiration and said, "To be able to consider such details so thoroughly, Senior truly deserves to be the number one assassin. It seems you are quite experienced in infiltration. Hearing what you say, Senior, I have an idea. May I ask, Senior, if you were to infiltrate the temple, how confident would you be?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jin blinked again, knowing that the main topic had finally arrived.

Yu Xuanbing roughly understood what he meant, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know how to collect this great formation."

Shi Chun immediately patted his chest and assured him, "I know, I can teach you. Don't worry, it's very simple, you'll learn it in no time."

Yu Xuanbing hesitated and remained silent.

Shi Chun continued, "When you were at the Earth Immortal realm, you were known as the number one assassin in the cultivation world. You've seen it all. Your ability to escape is undoubtedly exceptional. As long as there are no restrictions, once the deed is done, it won't be so easy for a mere Divine Mountain to catch you, will it?"

Yu Xuanbing turned back to look in the direction of the sacred mountain, still silent.

"Ten days will pass quickly." Shi Chun subtly reminded the other party to think about his promise, and then added, "It just so happens that there is another matter that I need to trouble you to go to the sacred mountain to help me rescue a group of people. There is no better time than now, so let's solve it together now and save you from having to make another trip later."

"Save a group of people?" Even in disguise, one could sense Yu Xuanbing's anger behind his mask. "Killing people and taking people away are two different things. Do you think the Phoenix Clan's heavily guarded territory is child's play? You think you can save a group of people? You overestimate me. No, I can't do that either."

Shi Chun hurriedly explained, "The so-called rescue is just a show, not a real rescue. Senior only needs to create the illusion of a rescue, making the Divine Mountain mistakenly believe that someone is going to rescue certain people imprisoned in the prison. Senior sneaking into the temple is just the right time to create a diversion, isn't it? Isn't it perfect to do both things at the same time?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jinliang, who was standing quietly to the side, roughly guessed who they were trying to save. The Golden Rat Clan had already left, and apart from the Bai Clan, there seemed to be no one else on the mountain worth saving.

If this is truly aimed at the Bai family, and given that this feigned rescue, coupled with the theft of the 'Big Dipper Spirit Repelling Array,' Granny Qi and the others will likely have no chance of escaping easily, even if they survive. The Phoenix Clan will probably not let them go until they have a clear understanding of what's going on with them.

Yu Xuanbing wasn't stupid; after a moment's thought, he figured out what was going on. "Do you have a grudge against them?"

Shi Chun frankly admitted, "I guess so."

He actually had no enmity with the Bai family, but he knew that once Granny Qi was freed, they wouldn't have worked so hard for nothing. After the incident at the Dongsheng Royal Court, they knew who had the "Death-Killing Incense." What would he do if they used it to blackmail her? So, even if he couldn't kill her, he had to trap her first.

What he didn't know was that the Phoenix Clan had already planned to hand over the Bai Clan to the Eastern Victory Royal Court as a way of making amends.

Ignoring the complicated matters, Yu Xuanbing considered the matter at hand and said, "This matter may not be accomplished today. I know nothing about the situation on Phoenix Mountain and cannot give any guarantees. We need time to investigate the situation on the mountain."

Shi Chun was easy to talk to, saying, "A day or two later is fine too."

As he spoke, he pulled out a picture book, which was a detailed record of the sacred mountain that Bai had gathered for him when they first approached it. He gave it to Yu Xuanbing to look at and helped explain some of the details.

Then he took out a golden command arrow and taught the other party how to use it to enter and exit, and how to collect the great array inside the temple.

Seeing this, Yu Xuanbing completely believed the claim that there were multiple versions of the Golden Command Arrow. If there was only one unique piece, it would be a priceless treasure, and it would not be given to him so easily.

Little did he know, the people who dared to give him the goods had a powerful backing. If he dared to run away with the things today, they could easily arrest his wife the next day, or even have someone ambush him. After all the necessary arrangements were made, it was already dark.

After agreeing on a meeting place for the next time, Yu Xuanbing left with the golden command arrow.

After watching the figure disappear into the distance, Wu Jinliang chuckled, "That was, after all, the 'Big Dipper Spirit Repelling Array.' He didn't know his lair had been exposed. Aren't you afraid he might impulsively run off with the treasure?"

Shi Chun said calmly, "Only those with one key are truly treasures. Anyone can enter if there are seventy or eighty keys. Why would he take it? Is he afraid that others won't be able to find him and will expose the great formation?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jinliang chuckled again, no wonder he had mentioned seventy or eighty items before.

Just then, Shi Chun's brow twitched, and he took out a mother-child talisman to examine it.

Now, he's too lazy to read those endless messages anymore, especially the one he used to contact Young Master Nan, which has been ruined by all sorts of people.

The only thing he can take out to look at right now is a message from Yin Xu.

He thought Yin Xu had also been captured by Wei Mo and his group, and they came to persuade him to surrender, only to find out that the Golden-haired Rat Clan had already entered the territory of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

This abrupt and nonsensical news left Shi Chun somewhat bewildered.

In reality, Yin Xu sent Tian Shen, the second steward of Zhu Lang Pavilion, to secretly lead a group to follow the Golden-haired Rat Clan. Tian Shen reported on the situation at each relevant point along the way.

Within the territory of Jukuzhou, Tian Shen personally relayed the message. After leaving Jukuzhou, he established a communication node, and then people repeatedly entered and exited Xunmen to relay the message. Upon receiving the message, Yin Xu immediately relayed it to Shi Chun, regardless of whether Shi Chun saw it or not.

For example, the Golden-haired Rat Clan has safely exited through the Xun Gate, and the Western Ox King Capital has successfully entered Qingzhou through the Xun Gate.

Seeing this news so suddenly, Shi Chun must be completely bewildered.

Even Wu Jinliang, who was peeking out from the side, asked suspiciously, "What the hell? Who is it?"

"Who else could be involved with the Qingqiu Fox Clan?" Shi Chun muttered.

Wu Jinliang was taken aback. "That woman from Zhu Lang Pavilion?"

Shi Chun nodded and immediately replied to the message asking what was going on.

Originally, he had been under pressure from various messages lately and had planned to pretend he didn't see any of the messages from acquaintances. But the current news was really making him unable to hold back. He needed to find out why Yin Xu had linked the Golden-haired Rat Clan with the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

The key question is how he knew that the release of the Golden Rat clan was related to his master, Shi Chun.

Seeing that he finally replied, what else could Yin Xu say? Naturally, he explained the situation in detail, saying that he learned from the Extreme Fire Sect that the Golden-haired Rat Clan was related to him, and that he was worried that something might happen to them. He couldn't get in touch with them after reporting the news, so he intervened to help.

After a series of questions and answers to clarify the situation, Shi Chun was stunned on the spot. He hadn't been so shocked in a long time, not even when he was being chased by a group of people.

He now understands a little better what it means for human calculations to be no match for divine intervention.

What business does he have with the ancestor of the Qingqiu Fox Clan? If the Golden-haired Rat Clan were to use his name, not only would the newly freed Golden-haired Rat Clan be thrown back into prison, but his swindling and deceitful behavior would also provoke the Qingqiu Fox Clan again. You've already messed with their ancestor; it's no wonder they're not going to act like nothing happened.

One wave subsides, and another formidable enemy rises.

Shi Chun was inwardly cursing Yin Xu's ancestors for eighteen generations, but he couldn't say anything to him, since Yin Xu meant well after all.

There's no need to make another enemy now that things have come to a head; after all, her lover is a domain lord.

He can only blame himself for lying to others before; now he's brought trouble upon himself.

Wu Jinliang's face was twitching, as if he felt that this person was tired of living and wanted to die.

This matter cannot be ignored; we must see if it can be salvaged. After confirming that Bai Qiru was with the Golden Rat Clan, Shi Chun immediately dragged Wu Jinliang underground and headed to the Underworld.

Unfortunately, they hadn't left a soul-binding bag in the Western Niu capital. After that, they took a detour through the Northern Ju capital, then rushed through the Xun Gate to the Western Niu capital, and then rushed to Qingzhou. After entering Qingzhou territory, Wu Jinliang quickly took out the mother-child talisman to contact Bai Qiru, hoping to salvage the situation in time.
