Although Shi Chun did not say what he needed from those two sects, Wu Jinliang knew one thing for certain, the cultivation technique of Chun Tian was special, and he definitely had his sights set on the Demonic Qi within those of the Demon Path.

While he glanced at Shi Chun, he also caught the suggestive look passed by Shi Chun, and immediately turned to the crowd and yelled, "Move, move, move, they're discussing things that mustn't see the light of day, let's step aside."

Everyone actually wanted to overhear what this "Qianyan Sect" matter was about, curious why the Master was paying attention to this sect. But Wu Jinliang's reason was so brutally simple that it left no room for refusal, and they had to obediently follow him to the side.

What's going on? Shen Moming was also taken aback, not knowing what had happened with the Qianyan Sect.

Shi Chun thought for a moment and said to him, "After all this commotion, you've been out for too long, it's time for you to go back and continue your pursuit."

Shen Moming was puzzled. A private conversation just to say this?

Indeed, Shi Chun further instructed him, "If anyone from the Four Cauldron Sect asks you about the Qianyan Sect later, no matter who asks, you must insist you know nothing at all."

Shen Moming spread his hands and said, "Master, you're worrying too much. I really don't know anything. You were the one that ordered me to report to you immediately if I found their whereabouts. All I did was discover their tracks; I truly don't know anything else."

Shi Chun: "What I mean is, in case someone asks you about it, you have to act as if you have never even heard of 'Qianyan Sect,' let alone know that such a sect exists."

Shen Moming fell silent and gave a wry smile, "Alright, I understand. Master, may I know what all this is about?"

Shi Chun: "Don't ask. You'll know when it's time to know. If it's not time, not telling you is for your good."

Shen Moming smiled bitterly and nodded silently.

Shi Chun: "Alright, we need to head over to the Iron Forest as well. If you run into any issues later on, directly contact Lao Changtai at the exit. Just inform Lao Changtai of the situation; leave the errands to him and his team. I'll arrange things on his end. Go on, say goodbye to everyone first."

"Okay." Shen Moming complied.

Subsequently, the two of them flew and joined Wu Jinliang and the others.

A group of people, clueless about what the two of them had conspired, looked at them with curiosity.

Shi Chun also surveyed the crowd and then laughed heartily, "Pockets bulging, it seems that you've all picked up quite the loot, Brother An and Brother Chu, even Qiankun Bags were obtained."

He then pointed at the Divine Fire in the hands of Tong Mingshan and An Wuzhi, unabashedly proud, "We've also got five blooms of Divine Fire, not one or two, but five.

More than just five, our Sect Master has already absorbed the Divine Fire Red Flame. Some might still not know, the Divine Fire called golden flame that the Four Cauldron Sect has been searching for in the Iron Forest, is already in our possession, with Zhu Xiangxin currently absorbing it.

What about Shudao Mountain then? They've got nothing. How about the number one Refining Sect, the Refining Heaven Sect? Do they have as many as we've obtained? Mere pittance, nothing compared to us!"

When you have achievements, you must display them. He deliberately wanted to show everyone, to let them know their achievements in the face of difficulty. It's what's often called motivation and boosting morale, making everyone aware that they're not as weak as they think.

As long as there's an opportunity, he would seize it to build psychological advantage among everyone. Many things could not be accomplished by him alone; it requires the collective effort of everyone.

Shen Moming was the most surprised – he had no idea that they had also managed to secure the Divine Fire from the Iron Forest.

He had followed Wu Jinliang to the Iron Forest and seen the people from Four Cauldron Sect searching high and low, working painstakingly, not knowing all the while that it was already securely in their hands on the quiet.

However, thinking about the Fire God Incense in Shi Chun's possession, he was reassured. It was truly a treasure, and if those Artifact Refining Sects knew about it, they'd probably fight tooth and nail for it.

Anyway, Shi Chun's words left the crowd with mixed expressions, looking at each other, wondering.

Now that it was mentioned, upon reflection, they realized that their side indeed had an impressive haul, probably more Divine Fire than any other sect had found at the moment.

Even the Ice Jiao, which caused grave losses and a hasty retreat for Shudao Mountain, had died at their hands, although it was evident it was slain in a rather confused manner by their group.

Despite many thoughts, no one dared to believe they had a chance to take first place.

And with that, Shen Moming bid his farewells to everyone.

Watching the dramatic changes in the Ice Field before leaving, Shi Chun genuinely wished that Shudao Mountain could witness that it was their doing. Otherwise, that woman might not believe him, and even if he showed her the five blooms of Ice Flames afterward, or gifted her two more, she still might not be convinced.

That woman had vowed that if she believed another half word from him, she'd chop off her own head.

This was an unjust accusation.

Thinking of the frustration, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh to the heavens, "Man's will is not enough to defy heaven's will!"

With things having come this far, they did not linger there any longer, not knowing where Shudao Mountain had gone. They certainly couldn't just wait there.

Using the method Zhu Xiangxin had previously employed to conceal and carry away the Divine Fire, they slightly concealed the flames and then flew off together.

Approaching the Iron Forest, the group did not charge straight in but took a detour instead.

Shi Chun located the spot where he had sent off Zhu Xiangxin and Chen Wuji earlier, and following the agreed-upon markers and signals, he eventually found Chen Wuji keeping watch in a hillside valley.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that Zhu Xiangxin was still in closed-door cultivation inside a sealed cave.

Without a second word, they dug out another cave nearby and had An Wuzhi place a bloom of Divine Fire inside to start his own closed-door cultivation.
