It was also through contact with Young Master Nan that he learned that the arrests of related personnel had not stopped, and now they were searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Shi Chun's former accomplices, those people from East Nine Plain.

Because those people have scattered everywhere, some have already been captured, and the rest are still being pursued, likely easier to find than Shi Chun himself.

As long as Shi Chun does not fall into their nets, those people will also be executed then.

In short, without significant background connections, anyone associated with Shi Chun will be affected and arrested.

This situation has brought great shock not only to Shi Chun but also to the observing Wu Jinliang, bringing a sense of absurdity as if one day in the Netherworld could feel like a thousand years in the world.

Initially, hearing about many people being arrested, Wu Jinliang was most concerned about Duan Xiangmei. For the other people, if they were truly helpless, they could do nothing because the situation had become too severe, and they couldn't risk their own lives. When it comes to life and death, isn't a bit of selfishness allowed?

But he never expected that even those old brothers from East Nine Plain could be implicated.

He remembered the time at Wukang Mountain when people from East Nine Plain came looking for Chun Tian. Chun Tian's ruthlessness was already evident to everyone, and he had cut ties with those people. Everyone knew that taking those people cannot threaten Shi Chun; the connection had already been severed, so why capture those people?

Of course, Young Master Nan made it clear that there was no particular targeting involved, it was a comprehensive sweep, capturing anyone connected.

But there were some things Wu Jinliang understood best in his heart. Capturing other people might not have much restriction over Shi Chun, even if Xiang Laner revealed them as people from the Demon Path, it would not matter. At worst, he would legitimately become a person of the Demon Path. But capturing those people from East Nine Plain was different; it would truly make Chun Tian difficult. In the beginning, to send those bastards out of the Land of Exile, Chun Tian dragged himself out last.

"I wonder why they would employ those masters of the Heavenly Immortal Realm to capture you. Is it really necessary to escalate the situation to such an extent?" Wu Jinliang couldn't help but doubt himself, feeling that he didn't deserve such an elaborate setup.

Shi Chun's brows furrowed deeply, which was rare, "From the things you stole from the Royal Capital earlier, are there any important items?"

Wu Jinliang's expression froze, "I don't know, how would I know? I took them just because they looked valuable."

He now slightly suspects his hands were too quick, having taken something he shouldn't have.

Their recognition matched their earlier actions, being wild and bold, believing that as long as things were done with skill, there shouldn't be a problem. Therefore, until now, they haven't realized the seriousness of their earlier actions.

So, the reaction of others left them confused. Others did not react based on their understanding. Without evidence, they were captured directly, crushed directly.

And at this time, seeing the message from the Red-clothed Woman, thinking of the other's powerful background, Shi Chun's heart slightly moved, quickly replying: I miss you too, can't wait to see you now.

Sitting beside him, Wu Jinliang stretched his neck and was stunned for a moment, asking: "It's that slut in red again?"

Shi Chun did not deny.

The Red-clothed Woman inside the pavilion, had already put away the Mother-child Talisman, not really expecting feedback, yet reality is often surprising. She paused, and then fished out the Mother-child Talisman to check.

After looking, a smile tugged at her lips and she replied: Then come, I'll wait for you.

Shi Chun replied: Want to hold you.

This time the Red-clothed Woman replied with one word: Come.

The observing Wu Jinliang immediately threw behind his earlier worry, grinning broadly, revealing shiny white teeth.

Shi Chun replied: I would love to, but you don't know, I am currently being hunted and dare not show myself easily.

The Red-clothed Woman asked: Tell me your location, I'll find experts to assist you.

Shi Chun replied: They also have experts, searching everywhere outside, I dare not move as I'm hiding. I'll come find you once they leave.

The Red-clothed Woman thought for a bit, did not nag or fuss, and replied with two words: Wait for you.

After their communication ended, Wu Jinliang continued chuckling, seemingly greatly enjoying the show.

Shi Chun picked up another Mother-child Talisman and replied to Young Master Nan: No, Brother Nan, could you tell me exactly what crime I committed to warrant such relentless pursuit?

Young Master Nan replied: Brother Chun, I don't know the specifics either, just want you to clarify some points. As long as the matter is explained, and it's clear it wasn't you, you'll naturally be released. By hiding, you only reinforce the suspicion. If you come forward for questioning, others can avoid implication and regain their freedom.

Shi Chun replied: I almost lost my life at your hands, do you think I would still go see you? You can arrest whoever you want, kill whoever you want, none of that matters compared to my life.

Young Master Nan advised: Brother Chun, this is just the beginning. Once all measures are directed at you, escaping will be difficult. If it wasn't you, stand out confidently, cooperate to clear things up, and it will naturally pass. Regarding the misunderstandings during conflicts that led to casualties, as long as it's confirmed they were due to misunderstandings, I assure you you'll be fine.

Shi Chun replied: I am currently being pursued, I'll contact you once I manage to shake off my pursuers.

Standing beside Young Master Nan, observing the Mother-child Talisman, Wei Mo, seeing the situation, asked sternly: "What's happening, Li Hongjiu has already returned to Yanbao Sect, yet someone is still hunting him?"

Young Master Nan hurriedly replied: Brother Chun, where are you? We can send people to rescue you from here.

Shi Chun replied: Don't even try, it might be your assassins. I'll contact you once I figure out who exactly is behind this.

After that, the communication was cut off, and Young Master Nan's messages were all read without any reply.

Witnessing the situation, Wu Jinliang asked, "What do you mean by stalling both sides?"

Shi Chun hugged his knees and looked at the sky through the gaps in the leaves, "Something feels off about this. Young Master Nan can't even tell what's going on. We need to understand the situation first before making any decisions. That seductive woman's background should be able to help us figure things out. I need to find her."

Wu Jinliang: "Could it be that she already knows your true identity? Previously, there were people tracking you, and those demon cultivators chasing you later, could they be related to her as well?"

Shi Chun: "I brought Situ Gu and Li Hongjiu; if she knows my identity, it's not surprising. If she really wanted to do something to me, she has had plenty of opportunities. Those demon cultivators are targeting Li Hongjiu; it shouldn't be related to her."

Wu Jinliang hesitantly said: "Given the current situation, it's a bit complicated. I still think going to meet her might be dangerous."

Shi Chun: "That's why I'm stalling, waiting for another two days. When Yu Xuanbing arrives, it should be much more secure with his support. I must meet that woman, and if there are no issues, see if I can get her to use her background to help resolve this trouble. Also, there's the matter of Huang Yingying and the Golden-haired Rat Clan regaining their freedom, which we also need her help with. As long as she has no ill intentions, we need to find a way to deepen our relationship with her."

In Nanshan Royal City, there is a spacious and elegant courtyard, the home of Miao Dingyi, the pivot of the Bowan Building.

Today, the mistress came home, Lan Qiaoyan and Miao Yilan returned together. The family reunited and joyfully met. After settling in, as they ate and chatted leisurely, the topic inevitably turned to Shi Chun.

The reason for the mother and daughter returning this time is largely due to the attraction of this matter.

When asked, Miao Dingyi slightly shook his head, "All the guards who knew about it within the Royal Court have been controlled, and no information has leaked. I don't know exactly what happened either; I only know that many people associated with Shi Chun have been taken away. East Victory even wanted to reach out to you two, but I stopped them."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, not expecting to be implicated.

Miao Yilan said worriedly: "How did it escalate to the core of the Royal Court? Is it that serious?"

Lan Qiaoyan sighed, "Is that guy crazy? He doesn't lack anything to eat or drink, so why push things this far?"

Miao Dingyi said calmly, "The way he has come this far is no longer up to him. After offending so many people, can he still turn back? He can only struggle all the way."

While the family chatted leisurely, the butler came to report that there were visitors.

Gong Shaoci arrived, bringing a heap of gifts as a visit, naturally having heard the news that the mother and daughter had returned home.

After host and guest chatted for a while, Gong Shaoci also brought up the topic of Shi Chun, expressing deep regret for Shi Chun's situation. Although there had been some minor conflicts between them previously, it seemed to have been smoothed over…

The three-day appointment arrived. On a sudden hill by the prairie, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang occasionally looked around, somewhat worried that Yu Xuanbing might break the appointment. They also wondered if Lao Changtai had found the whereabouts of Nian Xiu.

As long as they could locate Nian Xiu.

If he dared to breach the agreement, then don't blame him for not being polite.

"Here they come," Shi Chun suddenly murmured in a low voice and gave Wu Jinliang a look.

Wu Jinliang immediately understood that his right eye superpower must have seen something.

The two immediately sat on the hill, calmly waiting.

After the red mist fish meticulously checked the surroundings, a person completely shrouded in a black cloak, with only their eyes showing, suddenly appeared before the two, looking somewhat eerie even during the daytime.

Seeing them, the two climbed up, and Shi Chun laughed heartily, "I said that Senior is not someone who breaks his word."

Yu Xuanbing looked at Shi Chun with a complicated expression. During these days, besides family matters, he also inquired about the current situation and naturally learned about Shi Chun's affairs. Only when he found out did he realize that Shi Chun had really not lied; he did not have any significant identity or background support, just an extraordinary track record.

Lacking time, he only had a preliminary understanding and didn't even know the huge trouble over Shi Chun's head, as many things were also unknown to ordinary monks.

Without further ado, he spoke with a hoarse voice, "Ten days, plus I'll help you kill one more person."

"Alright, straightforward, then I won't be polite. Outside Dazhi City, there is a place called Shelter Slope. Someone handed something over there, which is Death Refusing Incense. I'm worried the handover spot is being watched, so I would trouble Senior to go... "

As Shi Chun spoke, he pulled Wu Jinliang to squat down, and the two began drawing on the ground together, marking detailed terrain locations and specific characteristics of the place.

After confirming the relevant details, Yu Xuanbing wasted no more words, instantly disappearing and getting to work, without wasting any time for the employer.
