Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

Chapter 675: Masked


After sending Li Hongjiu away, Ming Chaofeng signaled another runner to come over and asked in a low voice, "That Shi Chun, have you made arrangements with the person supervising the Heavenly Court Team?"

The general replied in a low voice, "It's all arranged. Once they find Shi Chun's team, they'll contact us immediately. But he hasn't seen what Shi Chun looks like, so he might not figure it out right away."

Ming Chaofeng: "When they first go in, everyone passes right in front of him. That's the easiest time to identify. I haven't seen Shi Chun's group, but I know there's a tall guy called Wu Jinliang who is his follower. Where Wu Jinliang is, Shi Chun will be."

The general suddenly realized, quickly cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I'll remind them right away."

With that, he quickly turned and left.

In the Beijulu Royal City, armored soldiers gathered like clouds.

A yellow-faced man who participated in the battle was the leader of the Beiju Team number seventy-nine. His name was Jie Yunzhao. When he saw a patrolling general pass by, he immediately called out, cupped his hands, and indicated he had something to ask.

So the coming general invited him away, avoided others, then whispered, "Sixteenth Master, why are you pushing for a meeting at this time? It's not appropriate."

Jie Yunzhao pressed, "Where is Shi Chun, in which team? Have you figured it out yet?"

The general replied in a helpless tone, "Sixteenth Master, I promised to help you check, and I will help. Why are you so anxious? Right now, apart from the core personnel of the Heavenly Court Team, no one knows how those hundreds of thousands of people are divided. There's no way to figure it out right away. We can only find out slowly after they go in. But Sixteenth Master, the task from above is more important; don't mess up."

Jie Yunzhao sneered, "A mere Shi Chun, it's an easy thing to handle, it won't mess up anything. Damn it, twice in a short time, he used Blood Escape to flee, injuring my essence and causing my cultivation to drop below the Heavenly Immortal Realm. I haven't recovered yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't be involved in this mess. It's all that dog Shi Chun's fault. If I don't kill him with my own hands, I can't relieve the hatred in my heart."

The general said helplessly, "The person supervising from over there has been informed, and the Mother-child Talisman has been given. Once they find Shi Chun, they will report to you immediately. Please have some patience, Sixteenth Master."

Jie Yunzhao: "This is not a matter of patience. Once things start after going in, where will I find the time to play with him slowly? It's better to solve it early and freely so as not to mess things up later."

Hearing this, the general understood. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Alright, I got it. I'll have them guard the entrance after they go in and check everyone who enters. The problem is, he hasn't seen Shi Chun either."

Jie Yunzhao: "He has a follower named Wu Jinliang, whose tall stature is quite noticeable. Compare the age, and it should be close. Finding Wu Jinliang is equivalent to finding Shi Chun."

"Oh, got it. With such obvious features, it'll be easier. Okay, I understand; you should go back. It's about to start."

In the Heavenly Capital, the army began to move in great force. There is only one Xun Gate for entering and exiting the Demon Realm.

Shi Chun's group, at the end of the line, hadn't started moving yet. They were all eagerly watching the activity, estimating it would take some time before their team's turn came to move.

At that moment, Shi Chun suddenly noticed a reaction from the Mother-child Talisman on him. It was a message from Situ Gu. Not knowing what Situ Gu meant by sending a message at this time, he took it out and discreetly glanced at it, looking surprised.

Situ Gu told him that Zhener had also signed up for the Battle of Great Pardon and joined the Beiju Team. He told Shi Chun to look after Zhener if he had the chance.

Shi Chun hurriedly replied, asking what was going on, naturally confused. He felt that with Situ Gu's status, there was no way he couldn't protect Zhener in this situation. How could the commander of the Beiju Team dare to send Situ Gu's disciple to war?

Situ Gu could only lament, saying it was an oversight. Seeing that Zhener had been focused on cultivation over the years and was well-behaved even when going out, he thought he could be at ease. He never imagined that Zhener would sign up to fight voluntarily, and no amount of scolding helped after that. The registration couldn't be canceled, and it was useless to ask anyone.

He also knew that Shi Chun and Zhener weren't in the same team, but given Shi Chun and Zhener's relationship, he, Situ Gu, even suspected that the reason Zhener signed up was that he knew Shi Chun was participating. He was doing it for Shi Chun.

Plus, Shi Chun seemed to have some useful skills and experience in managing such matters, so after much thought, he felt that informing Shi Chun might provide Zhener with some extra security.

To deliver this message, Situ Gu even specially visited the Heavenly Court Royal Capital. One must know that someone of his stature always attracts attention wherever he goes.

After hesitating, he managed to catch up. Had he come a moment later, he wouldn't have been able to reach Shi Chun once he entered the Demon Realm.

What could Shi Chun say? He could only say he understood.

After pocketing the Mother-child Talisman, he recalled Zhener's habit of hugging him and saying she wanted to have kids with him. All he felt was a toothache and helplessness, not expecting that woman hadn't changed in twenty years.

He also thought that Zhener signed up to fight because of him.

Later, he casually mentioned this to Wu Jinliang, who cursed, saying it was no help at all and only added chaos.

He too believed that Zhener signed up because she knew Shi Chun was participating.

After waiting for a while, the long line finally moved to them, and the three-thousand-strong team at the tail followed the body of the snake forward, gradually nearing the Xun Gate. Once inside the gate, they looked back and saw the entrance had been sealed off by a group of Heavenly Court troops.
