Upon hearing such nonsense, Wu Jinliang immediately understood. Chun Tian's serious talk was likely a way to avoid taking the risk, perhaps intending to pass this dangerous task onto Yu Xuanbing.

The logic was simple: where could there possibly be seventy or eighty magic artifacts for traversing the grand array? It was clearly an attempt to deceive Yu Xuanbing.

The key was that it was improbable to give fake magic artifacts to Yu Xuanbing. This top assassin wasn't foolish; he had seen the usage of magic artifacts. If he received one, he would definitely test it, and upon testing, it would be exposed. How could cooperation continue after that?

In other words, it was likely that the real golden command arrow needed to be given to him.

The golden command arrow was the key to collecting the grand array. Whoever held the real arrow had to venture into the array, which was obvious without even thinking.

Yu Xuanbing contemplated the possibility of cooperation upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Shi Chun quickly added, "The guards within the Divine Mountain need to enter and exit the grand array through its exit, while you, holding the magic artifact, can escape safely from any direction at any time. To some extent, when things go awry, even if things go wrong, the grand array serves as both a protection and an obstacle to them, providing an advantage for your escape."

Yu Xuanbing thought for a moment and asked back, "What about you, are you sure you can escape in time with your cultivation?"

Shi Chun hesitated a bit and said, "My thought is, as long as we can sneak into the Divine Hall and successfully collect the grand array, I'll immediately use the 'Death Refusing Incense' to hide in the Netherworld. But... you've seen the process of entering and exiting the Netherworld, it takes a bit of time, so it'll depend on luck." Saying this, he abruptly declared, "Whatever, I'll gamble on it. As long as you can lure away everyone in the Divine Hall, there's a chance!"

Wu Jinliang, who was eagerly watching him, immediately turned his head to look at Yu Xuanbing.

Yu Xuanbing simply shook his head, "No one can guarantee luring away everyone you mentioned from the Divine Hall, I can't do it either. Moreover, the central hub of the Divine Mountain must be heavily guarded, and with your cultivation, it seems nearly impossible to approach the Divine Hall, let alone sneak in to steal something. Aren't you assuming too much?"

He didn't know about Shi Chun's divine ability in his right eye, so he felt it was impossible for Shi Chun to touch the Divine Hall with his cultivation.

However, Shi Chun, who had some knowledge of this divine skill, listened with an expression full of admiration and said, "To consider the details so meticulously, you truly are the top assassin. It seems you're quite experienced in infiltration and exfiltration. Hearing this from you, I do have an idea. May I ask, with the Divine Hall as your target, how confident are you in infiltrating it?"

At this point, Wu Jinliang's large eyes blinked again, knowing the main topic had finally arrived.

Yu Xuanbing roughly understood his meaning and hesitated before saying, "I don't know how to collect the grand array."

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

Yu Xuanbing hesitated and remained silent.

Shi Chun continued, "You were called the top assassin in the Cultivation World even when you were at the Earth Immortal Realm, having seen such ups and downs, your escape skills must be second to none. Without restrictions, after the deed, it's not likely the mere Divine Mountain can easily capture you, right?"

Yu Xuanbing looked back towards the direction of the Divine Mountain, still silent.

"Ten days will pass quickly," Shi Chun subtly reminded, urging him to consider his promise, and further sweetened the deal with, "Just as there's another task for you to head to the Divine Mountain, to help me rescue some people. It would be better to solve both matters now, saving you a second trip later."

"Rescue some people?" Even through his disguise, a sense of anger could be felt from Yu Xuanbing behind the mask, "Killing and taking people away are two different matters. Do you think sneaking into the guarded grounds of the Phoenix Clan is child's play? Wanting to rescue people, you're overestimating me. I can't do it."

Shi Chun hastily explained, "The so-called rescue is just for show, not a real rescue. You only need to create the illusion that someone intends to rescue those imprisoned within the cells, allowing the Divine Mountain to assume an escape attempt. While sneaking into the Divine Hall, wouldn't diverting their forces with a ruse perfectly align the two tasks?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jinliang, silently observing, roughly guessed who needed rescuing. With the Golden-haired Rat Clan already gone, besides the Bai Family, there seemed no one else worthwhile.

If the target was indeed the Bai Family, with the sham rescue and the simultaneous theft of the 'Beidou Refusal Array,' Granny Qi and others would be unlikely to escape easily. Without Phoenix Clan interrogating them thoroughly, they would likely not let go.

Yu Xuanbing was no fool; after pondering briefly, he deduced the essence and asked, "Do you have a grudge against them?"

Shi Chun candidly admitted, "Sort of."

In truth, he had no quarrel with the Bai Family, but knowing if Granny Qi escaped, she wouldn't have toiled for so long in vain. Since her involvement with the East Victory Royal Court incident revealed who held the Death Refusing Incense, what would happen if used for coercion? It was better to restrain them preemptively even if he couldn't destroy them.

Unbeknownst to him, the Phoenix Clan had already intended to hand over the Bai Family to the East Victory Royal Court for explanation.

Yu Xuanbing didn't bother with these complexities, only considering the task at hand and replied, "This task might not be feasible today. I'm unfamiliar with the situation on the Phoenix Clan's Divine Mountain, making it hard to promise anything. I need time to survey the mountain's conditions."

Shi Chun was accommodating, "One or two days later is fine."

He then pulled out a book of illustrations, provided by the Bai Family when he first approached the Divine Mountain, detailing the mountain's situation. This was handed over to Yu Xuanbing for inspection and accompanied by some explanations.

Subsequently, he produced the golden command arrow, instructing its use for entry and exit, and how to collect the grand array within the Divine Hall.

Seeing this, Yu Xuanbing had completely believed in the existence of multiple such magic artifacts. If it were a unique treasure, it couldn't possibly have been given to him so easily.

How could he have known that the other party had the confidence to give it to him? If he dared to run away with the goods today, they could catch his wife another day, or even find someone to block him.

After all relevant situations were communicated clearly, the sky had already darkened.

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

Watching the figure disappear into the distance, Wu Jinliang chuckled, "That is after all the 'Beidou Refusal Array'. He's not aware that his nest has been exposed. Aren't you afraid he might take the treasure and run in a heat of the moment?"

Shi Chun said calmly, "Only an item with one key is a true treasure. When there are seventy or eighty keys, anyone can enter. Why would he take it away, afraid others can't find him, and expose the great array?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jinliang chuckled again, no wonder they mentioned seventy or eighty earlier.

At this moment, Shi Chun's eyebrow twitched, and he took out a mother-child talisman to check.

Now, those mother-child talismans that kept sending messages incessantly, he was too lazy to look at anymore, especially the one for communicating with Young Master Nan, which had been turned into junk by all sorts of people.

What he could still take out at the first moment to check now wasn't anything else but a message from Yin Xu.

He had thought that Yin Xu had also been caught by Wei Mo and the others, coming to persuade him to surrender, but instead, he found out that the Golden-haired Rat Clan had already entered the territory of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

This nonsensical message left Shi Chun a bit bewildered.

In fact, Yin Xu had sent Second Steward Tian Shen of Zhu Lang Pavilion to personally lead people to secretly follow the Golden-haired Rat Clan. Tian Shen reported all relevant juncture situations along the way.

Within Juku State, Tian Shen personally sent transmissions to report, and after leaving Juku State, he set up transmission nodes, with someone repeatedly going in and out of Xun Gate to report. Yin Xu then immediately transmitted the information to Shi Chun, regardless of whether Shi Chun saw it or not.

For example, the Golden-haired Rat Clan had already safely exited Xun Gate or had smoothly reached Western Ox King City and entered Qing Province through Xun Gate.

Seeing this message suddenly, Shi Chun was certainly baffled.

Not to mention him, even Wu Jinliang, who peeked over, was suspicious, "What's this? Who is it?"

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

Wu Jinliang was surprised, "That woman from Zhu Lang Pavilion?"

Shi Chun acknowledged with a sound and immediately replied to ask what was going on.

Originally, having been pressured by various messages recently, he planned to ignore all familiar messages, but the current information was indeed a bit overwhelming, needing to figure out why Yin Xu had linked the Golden-haired Rat Clan with the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

The key was how they found out the release of the Golden-haired Rat Clan was related to him, Shi Chun.

Seeing that he finally replied, what else could Yin Xu say? Naturally, he provided a detailed explanation, informing that the Extreme Fire Sect knew about the involvement of the Golden-haired Rat Clan with him, concerned about incidents, and unable to contact him through messages, so they lent a helping hand, and the like.

After a round of questioning and clarifying the situation, Shi Chun was stunned on the spot. He had not been so shocked in a long time, not even when he was being chased by a bunch of people.

He now kind of understood what it meant by 'Man proposes, but God disposes.'

He had no damn relationship with the Qingqiu Fox Clan's grand ancestor. If the Golden-haired Rat Clan went to act under his name without considering the newly liberated Golden-haired Rat Clan would be trapped again, his swindling would definitely provoke the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Having dragged their grand ancestor into this, it would be strange if they acted like nothing happened.

One wave came before the previous one subsided, and they established a strong enemy.

Shi Chun mentally cursed Yin Xu's ancestors for eighteen generations, but he couldn't really blame him; after all, his intentions were good.

Falling out now to make another enemy was unnecessary since his lover after all was a Domain Master.

Shi Chun could only blame himself for deceiving people before. Now, he had shot himself in the foot by moving the stone.

The flesh on Wu Jinliang's face twitched, feeling deeply that it was like having a death wish.

This matter couldn't be ignored. There was still a need to see if it could be salvaged. After confirming that Bai Qiru was together with the Golden-haired Rat Clan, Shi Chun immediately took Wu Jinliang to the Netherworld through the ground.

Ironically, they hadn't left a Soul Capturing Bag for direct transition in Western Ox King City. They then borrowed the route through Beijulu Royal City, quickly reached Western Ox King City via Xun Gate, and then rapidly transferred to Qing Province. After breaking into Qing Province's territory, Wu Jinliang hurriedly took out a mother-child talisman to contact Bai Qiru, hoping to make amends in time.
